Chapter 55 The capital is in an emergency

Li Futong thought the same, and he just pinched Shen Chongming's weakness, and couldn't help but show a smug smile.

"Lord Shen, this official also knows that you have a good relationship with Li Sunsin, and if it is an ordinary trivial matter, he will definitely give you a little thin noodles. But Yi Sunsin, a thief, is a great rebellion, and today he wants to seek my position, won't he dare to establish himself as a king in the future! Li Futong became arrogant.

Now that the Japanese have begun to retreat one after another, this time they have been defeated, forgive them for not daring to come back to our Korean beard in the future, if not, they will definitely have no return! So you don't have to care too much about the Ming army, and the days of being scolded and embarrassed by Shen Chongming are gone.

Shen Chongming seemed to be really frightened by Li Futong's words, and paused for a while before asking, "Li Xiang, then what are you going to do with Li Jiedu's envoy?" ”

"This ...... Hehe, it is still going to trouble Lord Shen, Li Sunsin, a thief, has a lot of soldiers and horses, I am afraid that he will not give in easily, and I hope that Lord Shen can send troops to help him and capture him. Afterwards, the official will definitely write a letter to the prince of my family, and then the prince will definitely ask for credit for Lord Shen in front of the saint. Li Futong was full of smiles, as if he had given Shen Chongming a lot of care.

Shen Chongming forcibly held back the smile in his heart, it turned out that people's habits had been formed since their ancestors, so it was easy to explain why their descendants were so faceless and skinless. Thinking about it, Shen Chongming pursed his lips and arched his hand: "In this way, this official should thank Li Xiang well." ”

"Hehe, Lord Shen is polite. This is how the official is a person, and those who can help others will never be stingy. Li Futong vowed to be shameless to the end, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words.

Shen Chongming really couldn't listen to it, otherwise he would definitely laugh, so he quickly pulled the topic back. "Since Li Xiang is not such a stingy person, then this official is not polite. I also hope that Li Xiang can give this official a little thin noodles and spare Li Sunsin's life, this matter is a sentence for Li Xiang, and I will not embarrass you. ”

"This ......" Li Futong hesitated for a while, but he didn't expect that what he said was actually written down by Shen Chongming, and he refused his request at this time, wouldn't it seem that he didn't believe his words.

Seeing him like this, Shen Chongming despised him even more in his heart, his habits would not change for hundreds of years. "Li Xiang, if you can't call the shots, then the official won't trouble you, now repair a copy of the book and send it to the capital to Prince Li, I'm afraid that the prince will not refute the official's face."

"Hey, Lord Shen, don't worry, the official just promised you for such a trivial matter, why do you need Lord Shen to trouble the prince." Li Futong was anxious and immediately agreed.

Shen Chongming smiled and said with tea: "Since this is the case, then the official will not ask much about this matter, if Li Sunchen dares to resist arrest, the official will send troops to help." ”

"Okay, with Lord Shen's words, the official will be relieved and take his leave!" Unexpectedly, things turned out to be so smooth, Li Futong was itching at the moment, and he must take down the scourge of Li Sunsin as soon as possible, otherwise he would always be worried.

"My lord, is it worth your troubles for just one Yi Sunsin?" The second brother behind him asked with a puzzled face.

"Hehe, the future development is inseparable from the water army, and an immortal genius like Li Sunsin should be used by me. If it didn't take some trouble, how could he make him die for the court? Shen Chongming put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, to the point where it is now, this matter is done.

"But if you do this, won't you hurt him?" Brother Erdan said cautiously, I always feel that this matter is not authentic for adults.

Shen Chongming laughed, "Wrong or right, it doesn't matter, as long as Li Sunsin can be used by me." You take someone to follow up on this matter, and the official is worried that Li Futong will not keep his promise and harm Li Sunsin's life. ”

"How daring, my lord, this old guy promised you personally, could it be that he dared to speak but didn't believe it?" Brother Erdan glared and said angrily.

Shen Chongming was helpless for a while, this guy was too naïve, he didn't understand the truth of being obedient and believing in three points, it seemed that he would have to teach him well if he had the opportunity in the future.

"It's better to be careful, Li Sunsin is too rigid, he will definitely not support the army to protect himself, how can Li Futong let go of such a good opportunity? Maybe even if it will kill him, then we will steal chickens and rice. Shen Chongming smiled bitterly as he spoke. It's ridiculous that Li Futong still came to him to ask for troops to capture Li Sunsin, if Li Sunsin intended to replace him, how could he, Li Futong, live to this day.

Brother Erdan took the order and left, but Shen Chongming couldn't be idle, picked up the urgent express sent by the capital and read it carefully again, and his brows slowly wrinkled. The loss of silver is serious, where did such a large amount of silver fall to the ground?

Capital, Royal Bank.

Since taking the position of the head of the Royal Bank, Xiao Ershao has been a person in the officialdom through and through, and he has been a dignitary of the court all day long, and he has to think clearly in an instant when he speaks, for fear that he will cause trouble for no reason.

During these days, he couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep well, and his mind was about the whereabouts of the more than 10 million taels of silver all day long. Such a large sum of money has no way to go, which is really worrying.

"My lord, Lord Wang of the cabinet is here." Just when Brother Erdan was worried, a handyman walked in on tiptoe and said.

As soon as he heard that it was Lord Wang of the cabinet, Brother Erdan hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Hurry up, please." ”

This cabinet of Wang is about forty years old, and he is an eight-grade petty official who is copied and placed in the cabinet's daily copywriting, but because he is directly under the bosses, this status is extraordinary.

However, Brother Erdan has a great relationship with Gao Gong, but Lord Wang didn't dare to hold it up in front of him, and as soon as he came in, he saluted and said, "Xiaguan Wang Dequan pays a visit to Lord Xiao." ”

"Lord Wang, please sit down, what instructions does the elder Gao Ge have?" I didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but I was afraid that I was here to urge myself to inquire about the disappearance of the silver two.

"My lord, the old Gaoge sent a subordinate to ask, does this case have a clue now?" Lord Wang asked with a calm face, in the past five days, he has been here three times.

Xiao Ershao's face darkened: "I am tired of Lord Wang returning to the Pavilion Elder, this matter is being urged by the people below to do it, once there is progress, I will definitely go to tell the Pavilion Elder." ”

"Alas, Lord Xiao, you have to hurry up here. Several elders have been struggling to sleep for this matter for the past few days, and they all point to good news from your side. Wang Dequan said with a bitter face, every time he went back to report this matter, he had to be criticized by the elders, and if he came back a few times, he would be a dead star.

Xiao Ershao was also worried. The money has disappeared, and it is only obtained from the account books of the local branches, and there is no real evidence at present. And the stakes are very high, and the investigation of this matter can only rely on the account gentlemen and Jinyi guards under their own hands to secretly investigate, and the local governments cannot interfere at all.

As a result, it is difficult to verify this matter, so nearly a month has passed, and there is still no progress.

"Go back and report to the elder, this official will do his best to deal with this matter, and in a few days, Lord Shen will lead the troops back to the court, and he will definitely have a plan at that time." Speaking of Shen Chongming, Xiao Ershao couldn't help but show a smile, with Brother Shen here, everything is not a problem.

Seeing off Lord Wang, before Xiao Ershao could take a breath, Liu Shouyou, who had not appeared for many days, strode in.

"Oh, Lord Xiao is so angry here, and he deserves to be known to the world as the God of Wealth." As soon as he came in, Liu Shouyou joked.

Brother Erdan hurriedly got up and gave up his seat, and he was shushing the cold and asking for warmth and letting people watch tea, which was definitely very affectionate. "Brother Liu killed the younger brother, what kind of God of Wealth, it's just a hard labor who keeps money, this white silver, the little brother can see it or not."

"Hahaha, this is reasonable, if you can see it and use it, I have to let you help me with one million taels." Liu Shouyou smiled, took two sips of the teacup and drank it cleanly.

"Brother Liu, what progress has you made over there?" Xiao Ershao didn't dare to talk too much nonsense, and went straight to the topic.

"Alas, there are no major land sales in the south of the Yangtze River today, but I am afraid that our previous conjecture is correct." Speaking of this, Liu Shouyou couldn't help but sigh, the whole thing can be said to be clueless.

"Then what is the clue over there, is this matter falling to the ground?" Brother Erdan frowned and asked, at present, Wuwei Sect is the most suspicious, but in recent years, they have disappeared without a trace, and it is difficult to start from this aspect.

"I don't know, in the past few years, Chen Xiaohua has been in Jiangnan for nothing, but on weekdays, all he has captured are some inconsequential minions, and they don't know these things even if they want to confess." Liu Shouyou rubbed his chin and said, there is no progress in the case, and he is also under a lot of pressure.

"There's no way, it looks like we'll have to wait for my brother to come back." Brother Erdan smiled bitterly.

It is said that this has the meaning of underestimating Liu Shouyou, but as a party, Liu Shouyou nodded and laughed. "Yes, just leave this trouble to him, and I'm so worried that I can't eat and sleep all day long."

At this moment, Shen Chongming, who was in North Korea, was also so busy that he was dizzy, anxious about the affairs of the capital, and he must deal with all the affairs of North Korea as soon as possible.

However, he was anxious, but Li Futong was even more anxious to take down Li Sunsin. In the five days after clarifying Shen Chongming's attitude, Li Futong made hastily preparations and launched an operation to arrest Li Sunsin, a 'chaotic minister and thief'.

First, Yi Sun-sin, who was in the military camp outside the city, was invited to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Seoul, and when Yi Sun-sin, who was armed with eight guards, had just entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, more than 50 domestic slaves who had already prepared for it surrounded them with swords.

"The Jeolla Provincial Naval Army made Yi Sun-sin arrogant and domineering, and plundered the people several times, causing complaints from all over the country. Recently, the Japanese minister heard a secret report that the thief Yi Sun-sin had raised private soldiers and plotted against him, so he dismissed Yi Sun-sin from his post as the Jeolla Provincial Navy Commander and detained him in prison for interrogation. Li Futong, who was under the protection of a group of domestic slaves, looked at Li Sunsin with a majestic face and said.

Seeing that Li Sunsin was silent with a cold face, Li Futong immediately sneered: "Rebel, can you plead guilty?" ”

"Hmph, what's the trouble of wanting to add to the crime? Shun Chen has a clear conscience, and when the prince returns to the court, he will return justice to me! Li Sunsin's face was full of arrogance, and for a villain like Li Futong, he was completely dead.

Hearing this, Li Futong was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that this guy was not going to resist. In this case, how can he let him see Li Song alive?

"Hehe, the prince has insight into everything, so naturally he won't wronged you." Li Futong smiled coldly, raised his hand and said, "Come on, take down Li Sunsin for his own appearance!" ”

As soon as the house slaves moved, Yi Sunsin's guards immediately drew their swords and faced each other, as long as they dared to touch the Jiedu envoy, they would definitely kill him cleanly!

"Put it down." Yi Sunsin shouted loudly, but did not let the guards arrest him. Otherwise, he will really have to bear the charge of rebellion.

"My lord, this ......" The anxious guard leader was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yi Sunsin stretching out his hand: "Go back and tell the brothers that no one is allowed to step out of the camp gate without my generals, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!" ”
