"Understood, understood!"

Cao Rui nodded again and again.

It turns out that in the Ming Dynasty, gambling houses like this also had a function, that is, to act as an underground bank.

This is also understandable, the money in the gambling house is not visible. If it's a blatant flower, it's still risky. So they will use some means to turn black into white.

Of course, due to the limitations of the times, it is certainly impossible to transfer money. At this moment, the ticket number business has not been opened, and Huitong Tianxia naturally cannot be realized.

If you want to get out of this black money, you still have to rely on escorts.

It's just that these gambling houses will make the money go up and down to make sure that nothing happens along the way.

Chen Xianling deposited a lot of black money in the gambling house, and the amount of silver taels he embezzled was too large. If it is transported out of Gangneung together, I am afraid that it will attract attention.

Therefore, Cao Rui decided to adopt the method of batch transportation.

When they left the city, they gathered together the silver taels in the name of the caravan merchants.

Chen Xianling has great trust in Cao Rui, because he knows that Cao Rui's gambling house must cooperate with him if he wants to continue to open. And his term of office is still more than a year, and Cao Rui will never dare to offend him.

"After the matter is done, this official will allow you to open a branch in the city."

Chen Xianling's eyes narrowed into a slit and threw out the temptation.

Cao Rui's eyes couldn't help but light up.

This temptation made him unmoved.

"Thank you county, Cao will definitely get things done."

The two of them smiled brightly, and everything was silent.

......

......

Shen Lun, the general banner of Jinyi Weibei Town, is finally busy.

A school lieutenant came to report that the business of the car dealers in Gangneung City has been very hot recently, and many car dealers' carriages have been rented.

This is a very unusual thing. It's not over fifteen yet, and it stands to reason that it's still in the middle of the year. How can the business of a car dealership be so hot?

You must know that there are no more than two kinds of people who rent a carriage, one is a businessman, and the other is a student who goes far away to study and take the exam.

Obviously, it is impossible for either of these people to go out during the Chinese New Year. So who exactly are the people who rent a lot of carriages?

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Lun decided not to startle the snake, and only asked his subordinates to secretly observe the whereabouts of the rented carriage and act when the opportunity came.

If something happens, there must be a demon, and Jin Yiwei's intuition told Shen Lun that something big was about to happen.

Just when Shen Lun wanted to go out, He Wencheng came in a hurry.

Shen Lun was slightly stunned, and his face changed greatly: "Why is He Yushi here, didn't you say okay, I will ask someone to contact you if there is something." ”

Although the two of them are here to investigate the case, it is really not appropriate to have too much contact with each other.

"Shen Zongqi is relieved, the official changed into civilian clothes, and went around several circles outside, and he had already thrown off all his tails."

Shen Lun smiled bitterly and said, "He Yushi is very athletic. ”

"Ahem, don't talk about these useless things. Is there any progress in Mr. Shen's investigation recently? ”

Shen Lun bowed slightly: "It seems that that person can't sit still." Shen found that the carriages of the car dealers in the city were all rented out. ”

"Oh?" He Wencheng was also quite surprised. "Does he want to use the New Year as a cover to transport all the stolen money out of the city?"

"It's hard to say right now. But Shen has already made people stare at it. ”

"Good, great good!" He Wencheng praised: "It is definitely no problem to mark people with the strength of Jinyiwei." When the time comes, he will be caught and stolen, and see how he denies it! ”

"He Yushi has a harvest?"

Shen Lun smiled slightly.

Although the two nominally cooperate with each other, there is also a faint layer of competition.

In addition, the relationship between the civil official and Jinyiwei has never been good, and the relationship between the two is very delicate.

"Of course."

He Wencheng said with a radiant look: "I found evidence that Chen Xianling befriended the King of Liao. ”

Hearing this, Shen Lun couldn't help but lean forward and asked, "He Yushi, let's talk about it." ”

He Wencheng leaned into Shen Lun's ear and whispered, smiling and brushing his beard: "What does Shen Zongqi think?" ”

"Wonderful, wonderful."

Shen Lun sincerely admired: "Shen would never have thought of such a method in any way. He Yushi is really clever. ”

"Each other, each other."

He Wencheng snorted and said: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and the matter of tracking will be bothered by Shen Zongqi." ”

"Well said."

Shen Lun picked up a pot of warm wine and poured a glass for He Wencheng: "It's cold outside, He Yushi should drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”

He Wencheng waved his hand again and again: "No, this official never drinks." ”

Shen Lun couldn't help but be stunned. Never drink alcohol? Are there any officials who don't drink?

He had always thought that those civil officials were drunkards.

Shen Lun put down the wine glass with some interest and poured another cup of hot tea.

"Since He Yushi doesn't drink alcohol, it's good to have a cup of tea."

He Wencheng laughed, took the teacup and drank it all.

"It's good tea. Since leaving Hangzhou, this official has never drunk such good tea. ”

It turned out that He Wencheng was a native of Hangzhou Prefecture, the political envoy of Zhejiang Chengxuan, and he had been serving in Beijing since he was admitted to the Jinshi, so he naturally missed his hometown very much.

He must have drunk a lot of good tea, but when he thought of his hometown, he naturally felt that it was a little worse.

What he said to Shen Lun this time also had an element of appeasement. After all, he had just refused to drink, and if he didn't say something nice, Shen Lun's face wouldn't be able to hang up.

"Tea is good tea, and those who taste tea must also have Taoism."

Shen Lun said with a smile: "A rough person like Shen only thinks that any tea is a taste." I'm afraid that even if I take some leaves and throw them away, I won't be able to drink any difference in the teapot. ”

"Uh...... Hahaha, interesting and interesting. Mr. Shen is really a wonderful ear. ”

Through a period of getting along, He Wencheng gradually got used to Shen Lun's way of speaking and behaving in the world, and the two cooperated happily.

"Shen Zongqi, how did you check other things?"

"Well, I don't bother with this. We have our own way of investigating the case, which is completely different from your civil officials. He Yushi only needs to sit on the King of Liao's corruption and bribery. ”

He Wencheng wanted to probe Shen Lun's tone, but he was forced back.

He touched the ash of his nose, shrugged his shoulders and said, "What Shen Zongqi said is true." ”

"As for the Ning Xiu ...... mentioned by Elder Zhang Ge"

He Wencheng hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth and asked, "Do we want to see each other?" ”

"Didn't Elder Zhang Ge also make it clear? It's good to just let things come naturally. ”

Shen Lun shook his head and said, "He's just a scholar, how much energy does he have?" If we can't handle this, it won't help to have one more of them. Instead, there is a risk of leakage. According to Shen's opinion, let's not talk to him first. ”

"Mr. Shen's banner is high."

He Wencheng swallowed and spitted and said, "Then don't tell him first." We are also protecting him by doing this, otherwise if the King of Liao really learns the news that the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, this son will be the first to suffer. ”
