As soon as Ling Zheng left, only Qian Bin and Nangong Jin were left in the room. Nangong Jin got up and saluted Qian Bin, "Thank you, Lord Qian." ”

"Fifteen thousand?" Qian Bin smiled lightly, "Don't thank you so early." After a while, you will carefully talk about how you plan to make money, and then decide whether to give it or not. Now, let's talk about the north. ”

Qian Bin took a sip of tea and said helplessly: "Two things." At the end of last month, the Tartars came to attack, and they couldn't defend the city in several places, and they went straight to Tongzhou and Shunyi to loot, and the saint was furious. In addition, Princess Zhaoyang was taken hostage, and the Tartar asked for peace and marriage, and married the five cities on the border of Xuanda. ”

"What?!" Nangong Jin was surprised. Whether Daming has Princess Zhaoyang or not, he doesn't know, the question is, shouldn't the princess be in the palace? Didn't the Tartars enter Beijing, how could they be taken captive in the palace?

Qian Bin looked at Nangong Jin's expression, "Very strange? ”

Nangong Jin didn't know how to ask for a while, so she had to say, "This, what's the situation?" ”

"Speaking of which, that's the case. Marriage or something, it's just asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the ground. Altan Khan wanted a mutual market, but he was cunning and untrustworthy, and he was not ready to open a market with them again. Qian Bin took another sip of tea and handed over the empty teacup.

Nangong Jin poured tea for him, "It's off again?" ”

"What's your attitude at home?"

Nangong Jin shook his head, "Definitely retreat, it doesn't seem to be very pleasant to have a relationship with those families." Therefore, I want to open up another way to make money, and what I said last time, I am going to try to do it in several halls. To talk about the effect, it's not so fast. ”

"Puzhou discovers Fushou gao." Qian Bin looked up at him. Nangong Jin was slightly stunned and did not answer. Qian Bin smiled, "It's Fan's who found it, and I don't know where they got such a large amount from now." However, Fan's is also finished, and almost all of them below the head of their own family have smoked Fushou gao. also because of his friendship with the Yang family, many of the Yang family's children also smoked it. The scope of the investigation is still expanding. Nangong, this kind of thing is strictly forbidden by the court. It's still possible in the south, how can it appear in Shanxi? ”

"Is Lord Qian suspicious of my family?"

Qian Bin still looked at Nangong Jin, "Do you think Fushou Gao's matter is not because of you?" ”

"Why because of me?" Nangong Jin asked rhetorically.

"Something happened to the Guo family and the Wang family, plus the Fan family and the Yang family, hehe, aren't you injured because they bought the murderer?"

"Lord Qian, from now on, isn't there something wrong with all five families? I think it's possible that the principals in Kyori are dissatisfied, and the five families don't let go. ”

Qian Bin pondered for a moment, "This also makes sense." He asked for another cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Judging from the last Altan Khan attack, there are still a large number of iron and ordnance in the Tartars. Of course, this time it has nothing to do with us, but the military department does not want to take the blame either. ”

"Defending the city and refusing to pursue the enemy is undoubtedly the responsibility of the military department. But iron weapons and ordnance are not necessarily the responsibility of the Ministry of War. Nangong Jin also agreed.

Qian Bin shook his head, "How many times has the cabinet issued an order strictly prohibiting iron weapons from leaving the customs?" Those who want money and don't want to die, smuggling is used to it. ”

"Lord Qian, in fact, there is still a line - the White Lotus Sect. They have been tricking soldiers into joining the religion at the border passes, hoping that the army will mutiny, and what is even more excessive is that Li Zixin has also infiltrated the Central Plains, spreading heresies everywhere, and the people of the whole village and town have followed. The last time I came back, they had gathered tens of thousands of Han Chinese in Bansheng. As far as I know, every time we hit the vicinity of Gyeonggi, there are always Han people who should cooperate with each other, and we can't guard against it at all. They were also buying iron and ordnance for Altan Khan. I've been reporting this matter before, Lord Qian, the White Lotus Sect is already powerful in Bansheng, and if you don't deal with it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with. ”

Qian Bin drank tea silently, "You have mentioned this several times. He drank tea again, and there was no more.

"Lord Qian......." Nangong Jin was a little anxious.

"I'll tell you straight." Qian Bin put down the teacup and looked at Nangong Jin, "Before, it was because we thought that we could make Zhao Quan our ......." ”

"Impossible!"

"Okay, even if Zhao Quan is impossible, then there are Li Zixin, Guo Heng ......."

Nangong Jin kept shaking his head, "Lord Qian, it's impossible!" They were treated as guests by Altan Khan, and Zhao Quan was not only a staff member, but also treated as a national teacher, and what they wanted was to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish themselves as kings. There's no reason to come back, let alone use it for us. ”

Qian Bin was a little annoyed, and stared at him for a long time, "Don't worry about this matter for now." ”

"Lord Qian, raise a tiger for trouble!"

Qian Bin's eyes widened, "What can I do?" Kill them all? I'm going to have the ability to kill early! Who else do you think we have in Tumochuan?! Otherwise, knowing that you are sick like this, I am still in a hurry to call you back! After saying that, I was really angry and drank several cups of tea.

The two stopped talking, Nangong Jin changed the tea, felt embarrassed, bowed his head and said apologetically: "I'm almost fine, it's really no problem to go to Tumochuan." ”

Qian Bin looked at him and reiterated: "You don't care about how to deal with the White Lotus Sect's affairs, wait for the opportunity." ”

Nangong Jin nodded.

Qian Bin continued: "There are no one from us in Tumochuan now, and no one has sent back the news in advance when Altan Khan came to attack this time. You go and keep an eye on it first, and then we can all lose our heads when it's almost the New Year. Also, ask Han Naji if he still wants to come to the Central Plains to see the style. After you, we also sent someone to contact him, but he didn't mention it, and then simply avoided it. ”

"Han is a child's heart, when he gets warm, he does what he wants, and when he gets cold, he doesn't do it. I'm going to fan the wind and see if it works. Nangong Jin should go down.

"Back to the princess." Qian Bin said angrily: "Life is too leisurely. According to investigation, it may be a marriage escape. ”

"Is it ......, our princess of Daming?" Nangong Jin still didn't believe it.

"Nonsense. The fifth daughter of the saint, Princess Zhaoyang. is ready to get married at the end of this year, and is the eldest son of a married family. ”

"The princess is still running away from marriage? Escape from the palace? Nangong Jin began to admire this princess.

"If you don't run from the palace, where will you escape? There are a lot of palace people in the palace, at least they know that it was through a woman named Xie Hongyu who arranged to leave the palace. This person is known as the Xiangshui Shenjun. ”

"Xiangshui Shenjun?" Nangong Jin felt as if she had heard this title somewhere.

"You know?" Qian Bin looked at him, "This person was originally still in Beijing, and her whereabouts have been unknown since the princess disappeared, and I have been sending someone to investigate, and the strange thing is that she can disappear without a trace." ”

"Xie Hongyu?" Nangong Jin was still thinking.

"This person is very well-connected in Beijing. Many ladies have asked her to arrange the eight characters and look at the appearance. Seeing that Nangong Jin was still frowning and thinking about it, he had to shake his head, "I really can't think of it." ”

Nangong Jin smiled bitterly, "It's a little impressive, I can't remember where it is." Alas, my memory has been a little worse lately. ”

"This person came prepared, and he wouldn't have been found so easily. said that he had some mana, and he also taught people to cultivate, what Tiangang Sect ....... ”

"Tiangangmen?" Nangong Jin seemed to finally remember, "Jingzhou, I've seen her." ”

"Jingzhou? It's also possible that we found out that she was friendly with King Jing and often went to De'an. How did you meet her? ”

Nangong Jin recalled: "He said that he was looking for me to do business, and he said that he would not do business. The gods chattered as if they knew who I was. I didn't know who she was, so I wanted to get rid of her as a precaution, but I couldn't find her. ”

"How would she know who you are?" Qian Bin was also surprised.

"She said she saw it, does Lord Qian believe it?" Nangong Jin didn't know what to say.

Qian Bin paused, "This kind of ghost and god thing is really ....... "I don't know what to say.

"Wouldn't she really know what five ghost handling techniques to get the princess out of the palace?" Even Nangong Jin himself didn't believe this.

"What five ghosts to carry." Qian Bin glanced at him, "It's just to buy the palace people." After leaving the palace, he should have left Beijing on the same day. Alas, it may be that the princess volunteered, and she hid it in Zhaoyang Palace for four or five days, and when she knew the situation, she couldn't find anyone for a long time. ”

"Even if this is the case, it can't prove that the Tartars kidnapped Princess Zhaoyang."

"You go and see. In a month, we have to send a message back, and we can deal with it. And, if yes, find a way to bring it back. I know it's hard to walk when it's cold, and you're a veteran, so I can only work hard for you. Speaking of this, Qian Bin also smiled bitterly. Not many people know about this. Seeing that Nangong Jin seemed to have something to say, but didn't know how to say it, he simply said bluntly: "You have to understand, no matter what, there is no place to talk about the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the princess of the Ming Dynasty is not in harmony." The rest, you can do it. As for whether she can marry when she comes back, that's not our business. Got it? ”

Nangong Jin nodded, "I won't be able to come back at the end of the year." ”

"Well, I know this too, you press your own time." Qian Bin said, handing a booklet to Nangong Jin, "You and Du Ling will explain this matter." This is the situation and portrait of the princess. The princess's appearance is not too distinctive, and women of this age also look similar, so I asked the palace for the princess's usual medical case and asked Du Ling to take a closer look. Remember, a month, I had to hear from you. ”

Nangong Jin took it, and the first page was a small statue, which was a young woman in palace clothes with a cold temperament, and turned it over roughly, and sure enough, there were no birthmarks, moles, or scars on the appearance, only a sesame-sized pockmark on the left ankle, no wonder Qian Bin thought of the medical case.

After Nangong Jin finished reading, Qian Bin smiled and said, "Okay, now listen to you and talk about how to make money." ”

Nangong Jinzai carefully explained Nanyang's thoughts, and explained the idea of the flower boat and how to connect with Ling Zheng. However, Qian Bin still raised a lot of questions, although he did not immediately agree to give money, at least he gave a 'consider' answer.

After talking, Qian Bin let him out.
