Chapter 975: Silver
Lan Ziyi said:
"I'm here to ask my father-in-law for someone."
As he was talking, the eunuch outside the door uninvited took a stool for Lan Ziyi, and Chen Zhilian, who was also at the military aircraft office today, saw this and said:
"Father-in-law, Lord Shoufu didn't say he wanted to see the seat."
The eunuch with the stool raised his head and glared at Chen Zhilian when he heard this, but there was no anger on his face, and his tone was fierce and modest when he spoke, and the eunuch smiled:
"Lord Chen, although Zhang Shoufu didn't say that he wanted to see the seat, but Wei Hou is also a guest in the palace, except for the emperor to see the courtiers, there is no rule in the palace for guests to stand, you have a seat, why can't Wei Hou have a seat? Anyway, sooner or later, Lord Shoufu will have to let the slave and maid take the seat, and it is okay for the slave and maid to come first. ”
Zhang Mingyue said with a smile;
"What my father-in-law said is that I was about to ask you to bring a stool in."
After the eunuch finished speaking, he turned to leave, but the eunuch who came to deliver the message stopped him and said:
"Senior brother, I'll also take a seat when you're tired."
Zhang Mingyue was going to send the guests off to start the discussion, but when he heard that the celebrant and the eunuch were also going to take a seat, he couldn't help but stumble in his heart, and he asked the eunuch:
"Didn't my father-in-law say that he would not be involved in the affairs of the Military Aircraft Department?"
The eunuch smiled and said:
"Looking back on Fu's words, Grandpa Long really won't get involved in the affairs of you and your colleagues. It's just that the slave and maid are not pen, and we don't have the authority to wear red, so we can't see the music you gave to Grandpa Long. Wei Hou is not a university scholar, and he is not a military plane, he came for no reason to be quite strange, the slave and maid bumped into it today, just to hear what happened to Wei Hou, and go back to report to Grandpa Long. ”
As soon as Lan Ziyi heard this, he immediately understood what this eunuch meant, Gonggong Long was sending someone to support him, and he would not fight alone today. At this time, the eunuch outside also moved into the stool, Lan Ziyi sat down with the eunuch, bowed to each other on both sides, and Lan Ziyi said to the eunuch:
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that my second brother was detained by the Jingkou government for no reason."
"How can the government arrest people without evidence? Your second brother must have been arrested for being a traitor. ”
Lan Ziyi looked over when he heard this, and saw that it was Chen Zhilian, the martial arts selection division, who was not here today, and the one who took the lead for Zhang Mingyue was replaced by him. Lan Ziyi looked at Chen Zhilian and sneered:
"Lord Chen, it's too much for you to arrest my second brother without giving me a reason, and now you are taking the result as the reason, using my second brother has been arrested to prove that you are justified in arresting people, according to your line of thinking, everyone in the world should be arrested, anyway, if he is arrested, it means that he should be arrested, who can escape the shackles of the government?"
Zhang Mingyue smiled:
"How could you take down Momojiro because of a trumped-up excuse? The report came from Jingkou, saying that the night before yesterday I saw someone from the north transporting a number of wooden boxes, and when I opened it, it was all silver, and the leader of the team was the second brother of Wei Hou, and all his subordinates were your Beizhen soldiers. Seeing that this matter was strange, the Jingkou side took down all the people in this group. Since Wei Hou came to me today to ask for someone, then I just want to ask Wei Hou, what is the matter with those silver and your people in Beizhen? ”
Lan Ziyi said:
"There are no people from Beizhen, only people from the imperial court and the emperor. As for the silver, it was the silver that Boss Cao issued banknotes in the north and exchanged for it, and it was to be transported to the capital to supply the imperial court, and my second brother just went over to answer it. ”
Zhang Mingyue smiled when he heard this, held a cup and began to drink tea, and Zhao Liang, the right attendant of the military department, took over and asked:
"Since Wei Hou mentioned that Beizhen is a soldier of the imperial court, why did the Beizhen soldier escort a silver tael for a merchant? The imperial court ordered Beizhen to guard the border passes, but it did not order you to be the bodyguards of the merchants. ”
Lan Ziyi said:
"Zhao Shilang, don't you ask about the world in the capital? Scholars prepare for the exam, and it is understandable that you don't hear anything outside the window, don't you know about foreign affairs as a squire in the military department? ”
Zhao Liang said:
"I don't know what Wei Hou means by foreign affairs?" Lazy people listen to books
Lan Ziyi said:
"This year, there is a great drought in the north, hunger is everywhere, the people are surging, bandits are rampant in the wilderness, and there is no way to survive outside the city walls, Boss Cao's previous team used his own dart master, but the result was that the caravan was robbed, and the people and money were empty, and he had to save my father, last month when my father entered Beijing for the pilgrimage, Cao Jinbao came to beg my father about this, so there is a matter of Beizhen soldiers escorting, so there is a matter of my second brother going to Jingkou to respond."
赵谅 says:
"Wei Hou himself said that the soldiers of Beizhen were the soldiers of the imperial court, but the Duke of Ling Zun mobilized the army of the feudal army to cross the river and enter the capital without authorization due to a private request, is this what the courtiers look like?"
Lan Ziyi laughed in his heart when he heard this, his Lan family's horse farms are all over the country, and the guys who walk all over the country are together with the cattle and sheep raised in the horse farms, and there are countless grains stored in the warehouse, not to mention that his feudal army has entered Beijing, it is simply a feudal town everywhere, why don't you say that the whole battalion of the Dongji Tiger Battalion is Beizhen soldiers. But Lan Ziyi still smiled politely:
"Because Boss Cao also transported the silver of the imperial court, or the silver of the imperial court's life-saving, now the expenses required by the household department all rely on Cao Jinbao's money turnover, whether he Cao Jinbao can successfully transport silver is related to whether the household has silver flowers, my father sent troops not for personal reasons, but for the public."
Zhang Mingyue smiled when he heard this:
"It's a good public, and I also believe that Xin Daigong and Wei Hou are for the public. It's just that at this very moment, the demon thief has just burned the green river in the capital, and the day before yesterday, in the Qinzheng Palace, I Emperor Bingming will strengthen the defense of the capital, so the outside and the inside must be carefully controlled. The amount of silver taels escorted by Momojiro is too large for me to clear the suspicion of these silver on the basis of Wei Hou's own words, and I must wait for the priest to find out the source of the silver before I can release it. ”
Lan Ziyi said:
"Qi Hou in the south has exterminated the demon thieves, where are the demon thieves in the capital? Besides, even if there are demon thieves plotting against them, what does this silver have to do with demon thieves? ”
Zhang Mingyue said:
"What if the silver is paid by the thieves?"
Lan Ziyi said:
"How can the silver escorted by Beizhen be the salary of the demon thief? Isn't Shousuke-sama suspicious of my father and me colluding with thieves? ”
Zhang Mingyue took the opportunity to say:
"Wei Hou, don't take the result as the reason, your family escorts the silver and can prove that the silver must be clean. Of course I believe in Dai Gong's loyalty, but I don't believe that Cao Jinbao is also a loyal minister, a businessman, and he will do anything when he gives money. ”
Lan Ziyi didn't expect that what he just said would be used by his opponent, and this uncomfortable self-inflicted force was enough for him to endure for a while, so he had to say:
"If the demon thief wants to buy Boss Cao, he has to spend silver, and let Boss Cao transport the silver to the demon thief as a military salary, what price does the demon thief have to offer?"
Zhang Mingyue said:
"That's why I want to investigate, and if I find out, I don't need to doubt it."
Lan Ziyi said:
"Boss Cao has account books, and Beizhen Jun also has the token documents for the dart, and Lord Shoufu will be able to find out soon."
Zhang Mingyue said:
"It's good if there is evidence, I will order Jingzhao Mansion to investigate, but Wei Hou also knows that now that the government is understaffed, the investigation will definitely not be as fast as Wei Hou imagined."
Lan Ziyi was furious when he heard this, he endured it and endured it, and finally he couldn't hold back and said:
"Lord Shoufu used thunderbolt methods when he strengthened the access control, but he was short of manpower when investigating the truth.
Chen Zhihuan opened his mouth and scolded Lan Ziyi:
"Wei Hou, if you have any opinions, you can mention them to Yushitai, you don't need to say cool things here."
