Chapter Ninety-Three: Thousand Households Han Xiao
In the Heart Nourishing Palace, Zhang Lingyang squinted and reclined on the bed, covered with a blanket, and hummed an unknown song in his mouth.
Below, the two pipa girls played the tune that Zhang Lingyang had taught them before.
At this time, Feng Xi hurriedly walked into the Heart Cultivation Palace, gave Sun Sheng a look, and seeing Sun Sheng nodding, Feng Xi walked into Zhang Lingyang and said in his ear: "Long live Lord, there is news about the HSBC ticket number." ”
"Oh?" Zhang Lingyang opened his eyes and waved his hand to let the two pipa girls retreat before he looked at Feng Xi, "How is the investigation?" ”
Feng Xi replied: "Long live Lord Mingjian, when the servant ordered someone to investigate the HSBC ticket number, it was found that the HSBC ticket number has to buy a large amount of grain, grass, salt and iron in various places every year, and then sell it to Warat through Yanmen and other places in Jinzhong, so as to obtain huge profits.
Also, according to the minions' investigation, the reason why the HSBC ticket number could not return the eight million taels of silver in time this time was because they had purchased these materials with the money deposited with them, and they were planning to sell them to Warat!
The slave also found that in fact, it is not only the HSBC ticket number that is like this, but the vast majority of Jinzhong's ticket numbers have more or less trade dealings with Warat.
It is also because of this that over the years, Warat has obtained a lot of their extremely scarce salt, iron, grain and grass and other materials, and its strength has become stronger. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang's eyes became a little sharp, "Who knows about this?" Also, who is the chief soldier of Yanmen? So much substance passed by his eyelids, and he didn't even notice it? ”
Feng Xi said: "Long live Lord, as far as the slaves know, the current Yanmen Chief Soldier Ma Shanchang is originally from Jinzhong, and he was originally closely related to these ticket numbers, and he thought that he was the one who was supported by these ticket numbers. ”
"It seems that the Yanmen general soldier should be replaced!" Zhang Lingyang narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Sheng: "Sun Sheng, you immediately go to draft a decree and pass on the chief soldier of Yanmen to enter Beijing to complain."
Also, it is rumored that Han Xiao entered the palace to meet him, and I have something to explain to him! ”
"Slaves obey!" Sun Sheng replied and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
After Sun Sheng went out, Zhang Lingyang asked Feng Xi again: "Do you know which ministers in the DPRK and China have dealings with these ticket numbers?" ”
Feng Xi replied: "There are many officials who have dealings with these ticket numbers, but if you want to say that they are close, the slaves have not yet discovered them."
However, the slave thinks about it, those officials from Jinzhong should have a certain relationship with these ticket numbers. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang nodded noncommittally, and asked again: "Then the nobles of the court, who are the people involved in Jinzhong?" ”
"This ...... Slaves don't know! Feng Xi hurriedly bowed his head and replied.
Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang glanced at Feng Xi meaningfully, and sneered: "It seems that my prestige is not as noble as those sons!" ”
"Minions don't dare!" Feng Xi hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "It's not that the minions don't know, but that most of these nobles are in my military power, if the Lord of Long Live moves them lightly, I'm afraid it will cause a riot!" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Zhang Lingyang's eyes stared at Feng Xi sharply, and Feng Xi, who was staring at him, felt a chill behind his back.
"The minion said that's it!" Unable to bear the pressure, Feng Xi finally honestly said the names of these nobles one by one, "According to the intelligence of Dongchang, Jiang Wuyang, the prince of Dingguo, Xiao Chengjin, Marquis of Changle, Zhong Yuming, Marquis of Rong'an, and others are all closely associated with these ticket numbers. ”
"Huh!" Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help sneering, "The ability of these ticket numbers is really not small, my Da Zhou now has a total of three dukes and four marquis, and they actually implicated one duke and two marquis, or two marquis who hold real power." ”
Feng Xi didn't dare to reply, and he couldn't wait to stuff his head into the cracks in the bricks......
After a pillar of incense, Han Xiao of Jinyi Wei Qianhu walked into the Heart Nourishing Hall under the guidance of Sun Sheng.
As Qian Du's henchman, before Qian Du fell, Han Xiao could be said to be the most beautiful thousand households in Jinyiwei, and his power even surpassed that of several Jinyiwei and Tongzhi for a time.
But that was before.
Since the fall of Qian Du, Qian Du has been squeezed out everywhere in Jinyiwei, and has become the lowest status of thousands of households in Jinyiwei.
Now, when Han Xiao learned that he had been summoned by the emperor, he was extremely frightened, worried that the emperor wanted to attack him.
But Han Xiao didn't want to think about it, if Zhang Lingyang wanted to attack him, he only needed one sentence, which was better than ordering someone to call him into the palace to meet him with such fanfare?
Han Xiao walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall with apprehension, his head buried deep in the ground and should not be raised.
"Do you know why I called you over?" Seeing Han Xiao's appearance, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but sneer and asked.
"Weichen doesn't know!" Han Xiao's voice trembled a little, obviously still frightened.
"You don't have to be afraid!" Zhang Lingyang said: "I heard that since Qian Du's death, your life in Jinyiwei has been very difficult, and you can't even protect Qian Du's family!"
Now, I have an errand for you to do, if it is done well, the errand of the commander of the Jinyi Guard will be yours, if you can't do it, you can go down and accompany Qian Du! ”
"But please tell Your Majesty, Weichen must be full of liver and brains, and he will not give up!" Han Xiao immediately expressed his loyalty.
Zhang Lingyang said: "Some time ago, the East Factory investigation found that the HSBC ticket number purchased a large amount of salt, iron, grain and grass and other substances, and wanted to start from Yanmen Pass and sell them to Wara, I plan to let you take people to Yanmen, and wipe out the team of HSBC ticket number selling materials, and then eradicate the HSBC ticket number, I don't know if you can do it?" ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is a little tricky!" Han Xiao hesitated and said: "Jinyiwei also has information about the HSBC ticket number, and the intelligence shows that the HSBC ticket number has close contacts with the chief soldier and horse chief of Yanmen and Hu Hongliang, the governor of Jinzhong.
If Weichen goes to Jinzhong to investigate, he will definitely be obstructed by them, and please let Your Majesty know it! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang's face was dark, he sneered, and said, "It seems that I am the last to know about anything!" ”
"The emperor forgives his sins!" Hearing this, Feng Xi and Sun Sheng hurriedly knelt down.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lingyang suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "I have ordered the chief soldier of Yanmen to go to Beijing to report on his work. As long as Ma Shanchang enters Beijing, the border army on the Yanmen side will be leaderless, and you can do it boldly!
As for Hu Hongliang, the governor of Jinzhong, I will draft another will to send him to Beijing to report on his work!
But Han Xiao, you must remember that I have cleared the obstacles for you, if you mess up this matter again, then you don't have to go back to Beijing, just wipe your neck! ”
"Weichen will follow His Majesty's will and will definitely wipe out all the HSBC ticket numbers!" Hearing this, Han Xiao didn't dare to shirk again.
"Remember, this is only for HSBC ticket numbers. As for the other ticket numbers, you have to turn a blind eye and don't have to pay attention to it as long as it doesn't hit the muzzle of the gun.
But if someone really hits the muzzle, I want to see if your embroidered spring knives are rusty! Zhang Lingyang's words were full of murderous intent......
