Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Inexplicable Guest
"Yue ...... What do you mean by this, sir? ”
Chen Tianping and Pei Boqi stretched their necks and looked fixedly at the silver tickets on the table, like quails choked by their necks.
On the table is a silver ticket, the face of the ticket is red, and there are four large golden characters written on it - "500,000 yuan", which is a large silver ticket issued by the Bank of Communications.
"This is the sincerity of our master, and I hope the two of you will laugh!"
Looking at the smile of Mr. Yue in front of him, Chen Tianping involuntarily stretched out his hand to pick up the silver ticket, and when he carefully confirmed the imprint on the silver ticket, Chen Tianping's hands began to tremble, ignoring the anxious gesture of Pei Boqi beside him, but took it into his arms and arched his hand: "Mr. Yue, you are the great benefactor of the Chen family of Annan, and after Annan recovers the country, Chen Tianping will have a good reward!" ”
"Hehe," Mr. Yue looked at Chen Tianping's right hand, and found that he was still trembling, still not taking it out of his arms, he should still feel the texture of the silver ticket, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly: "The matter of your master and servant, our master has heard about it, and my master is deeply sympathetic to the two of them, and I also hope to be able to contribute to the great cause of the restoration of the country." In addition, recently our master heard that the two of them had encountered some difficulties, and specially sent a small one to relieve the two of them. ”
"Thank you! Thanks a lot! ”
Seeing that Chen Tianping still hadn't woken up, Pei Boqi could only interject by himself: "This gentleman, I have indeed encountered some difficulties in the great cause of Annan's restoration of the country, but the progress is still smooth, and Your Majesty has promised to send a large army soon to clear the Hu clan and help the Lord restore the country." ”
"Annan is rich in the people of Fu, and there is no shortage of 500,000 silver yuan, and I hope that Mr. will explain his intentions in the future, so that the master can make the final decision; As the saying goes, you don't get what to do, sir, right? ”
Mr. Yue has been observing the expressions and conversations of the two, and at this moment, when he saw Pei Boqi talking about the topic, he couldn't help but sneer twice: "Two, could it be that you are a three-year-old child?" ”
"Now the Ming Dynasty is busy with the complete conquest of the Japanese and the sweep of Mobei, so the princes of the imperial court do not want Annan to make waves again, but hope that Annan will be stable."
"The Hu clan has returned more than 40 villages in Siming Prefecture, Guangxi, and promised not to encroach on our Ming territory again, and to be a vassal every year, and come to the court every year."
"Your Chen clan is reinstated, will it be better than the Hu clan?"
"This ...... We ......"
Chen Tianping was speechless, and Pei Boqi was speechless.
"Of course, you are not without brains, you even thought of complaining in the newspaper, and also gained the sympathy of many people and scholars, but now the envoy of the Hu family also uses the same method, summoning a large number of writers to open up for him, and you can only lose if you are alone and lack of money, am I right?"
"At present, there are even rumors that Chen Gongzi is just the son of a house slave, and he should be cut by a thousand knives if he pretends to be the Chen royal family."
"I'm really curious, at this time, you still think the situation is good?"
Chen Tianping finally understood, he took out the silver ticket from his arms with a trembling right hand, put it on the table, looked at it for a while, and finally raised his head and stared at Mr. Yue's eyes: "Mr. Yue, since they are all people who understand, I won't hide it." ”
"Chen Tianping is a descendant of the royal family of Annam, and he is determined to restore the throne of Annam, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve this goal, I don't know what Mr. has to say?"
"Hahaha," Mr. Yue glanced back at Chen Tianping, and suddenly laughed: "Very good, it seems that you are also an understanding person!" ”
"In that case, open the skylight and say something bright."
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, for the future generations of the Ming Dynasty, to eradicate the Japanese and sweep away the Mobei, this is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be shaken."
"And Annan is just a moss disease, when I calm down, I will definitely ask the Hu family for the guilt, but I just don't know if you can afford to wait!"
"If I can afford to wait, then today, I will come in vain; If you can't afford to wait, then we can discuss the next steps. ”
"Let's ......" Chen Tianping hesitated for a while, turned his head to look at Pei Boqi, and then said dejectedly: "Mr. Yue, let's be honest, I can't afford to wait......"
Mr. Yue raised his hand to prepare for Chen Tianping's words, not wanting to listen to his narration of the reason: "Since this is the case, then I will say what my master requests." ”
Chen Tianping nodded.
"Sending troops to fight is nothing more than money and food, my master is willing to provide a loan for Chen Gongzi, and these 500,000 taels are just the first batch."
"The first batch?" Chen Tianping was stunned for a moment, looked at the silver ticket on the table, and felt that this was just a loan!
"Yes, if Gongzi Chen's great cause of recovering the country goes well, my master can continue to add more."
"Oh," Chen Tianping finally understood this time, he calmed down, calmed his breath, and arched his hand: "Mr. Yue, I don't know who your master is?" Can it influence the politics of the Ming Dynasty? ”
"I'm sorry, but I can't say who my owner is right now."
"Oh, then how will your master help us? With all due respect, it is not enough to restore the country to have money. ”
"Of course, the restoration of the country also needs an army!"
Mr. Yue smiled, lowered his head and gently stroked the wrench of his right index finger, was silent for a while, and then raised his head and said, "Chen Gongzi and Mr. Pei, we are just meeting for the first time, and it is normal for the two of you to not trust me." ”
"However, in less than three days, the two of you will understand the energy of our master."
"That's all for today, I'll come back in three days, I hope you two can think it through."
“......”
As he spoke, Mr. Yue stood up, turned around and walked out, leaving only Chen and Pei with a back......
Chen Tianping and Pei Boqi hurriedly got up and sent them out of the house.
The inexplicable guests, the inexplicable silver tickets, the inexplicable conversations, and the inexplicable interruptions plunged Chen and Pei into a cloud.
On the ground, Chen Tianping exclaimed and said, "Mr. Pei......"
"What's wrong? Lord? ”
"You go to the Bank of Communications and see if this silver ticket is ......"
Chen Tianping took out the silver ticket from his arms, wanted to hand it to Pei Boqi, thought about it but took it back, and said: "Mr. Pei, the silver ticket is still placed here alone, I am afraid that there will be a trap, you try to knock on the side to see if the Bank of Communications has issued this kind of silver ticket, and how to use it?" ”
"Well, yes, Lord!"
......
The sun was about to set, so Pei Boqi rushed back and brought back the news of the silver ticket for Chen Tianping.
The Bank of Communications did issue such a large amount of silver bills, but when this kind of silver notes were used, it was necessary to confirm the signature and password, in other words, the silver ticket in Chen Tianping's hand was, to some extent, just a piece of waste paper.
Hearing this news, Chen Tianping did not look angry, but breathed a sigh of relief, things are only normal in this way!
Pei Boqi agreed with Chen Tianping's judgment, and the two looked forward to tomorrow.
......
The next day, Pei Boqi found that there were only his own articles in the newspaper, and all of Hu's slanderous articles disappeared.
On the third day, the Ministry of Rites sent people to summon Chen and Pei to confront Hu Pingkang face to face with the Ministry of Rites.
On the fourth day, it was safe.
At night, Chen and Pei stayed up all night, waiting for dawn.
On the morning of the fifth day, the long-awaited Mr. Yue finally appeared......
