Chapter 126: Chess pieces
Zhao Feng said: "The situation is urgent, Emperor Song will definitely not be able to wait for half a month, according to my speculation, ten days should be his limit." 200,000 ...... It's a little hard. After a pause, he said, "Who is leading the troops?" ”
"It's the King of Pingyang."
Such top-secret matters are all secrets of the imperial court, and even many officials in the court do not know about it, and one of them is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Pearl Pavilion, and the other is the son of a wealthy merchant in Jiangning, but they know everything about this matter, which is too treacherous.
Zhao Feng bent his fingers and knocked on the table covered with a flower-entangled tablecloth, and after a long time, he stopped what he was doing, and then said, "Soon it won't be." ”
"Childe refers to King Ning?" The middle-aged man twisted his eyebrows and said: "As far as the villain knows, this is Emperor Song's golden mouth, I'm afraid it can't be changed." ”
Zhao Feng's thin lips were slightly hooked, and a cold smile appeared, "Ye Xuemei is so smart, she has the talent to govern the world, and even a prince who is not valued can support the throne, how can she not change such a small situation." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "No matter how smart Ren Ye Xuemei is, she hasn't become a son and a ...... A chess piece in the palm of the master's hand. ”
Zhao Feng picked up a black chess piece and landed in the white chess camp that had collapsed, completely ending the lingering white chess piece, "There is always only a line between the chess piece and the chess player!" ”
The heavy rain continued, making a noise on the windowsill, and after the little guy reloaded the black and white chess pieces polished with jade on the chessboard into the box, the middle-aged man said in a low voice: "Childe, although the Song State can only concentrate 200,000 troops at this time, and the strength is not as good as that of the Wu State, the Song State has always been the first power, and once they are given enough time to mobilize troops and grain and grass, it is only a matter of time before they force the Wu State back." We...... Do you want to help Wu Guo and make Song Guo completely unable to turn over? ”
Zhao Feng twisted a chess piece from the box and played with it at his fingertips, stared at the criss-crossing chessboard and said lightly: "It's so easy to be defeated, it's not the Song Kingdom that has dominated for many years." I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so let's play slowly. Besides...... "Those narrow eyes were bottomless in the candlelight," I also wanted to see how far she could play the Eight Formations of War after the wind! ”
In the early morning of February 12, after Gongliangyu had breakfast, he prepared to go to court as usual, and when he went out, he remembered the silver ticket that Ye Xuemei returned yesterday, so he called Cai He and asked him to take these silver taels to Hengbao Silver to redeem the house deed and land deed.
After Cai He took the silver, he told him that Shi Fenglan used his own silver to subsidize the deficit in the mansion. Gongliang Yuzhi was quite impatient, so he ordered Cai He to return Shi Fenglan's silver, and said that he would no longer need it in the future.
After seeing Gongliang stop leaving, Cai He went to the Hanbao Silver with the silver and ransomed the house deed and land deed. After he left, Camellia, who had secretly followed him all the way, walked in, and when the guy saw her, he hurriedly beckoned: "This girl, do you want to come to deposit money or withdraw money?" ”
Camellia thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I have saved some silver at home, and I want to save it, but I don't know which one is more reliable and has a higher interest, so I came to inquire." ”
As soon as he heard this, the guy immediately said: "The girl is right, if you want to say reliable, we Hanbao Silver in Kaifeng City recognize the first." As for the interest, there will definitely be no shortage of girls. ”
"I don't go out much, don't lie to me."
"Look at what the girl said, we are doing serious business, how could we lie to you. Besides, such a big store is here, and it can't run. ”
"That's just as well." Camellia nodded, and said casually: "When I came in just now, I saw a person going out, did he also come here to deposit silver?" ”
The guy thought for a while and said, "What the girl said must be Steward Cai." ”
"Steward Cai? Which house is it? ”
"It's from King Ning's mansion, but he didn't come to save silver."
Camellia's eyes flashed, and he said tentatively: "Since it's not to deposit silver, it must be to get silver, right?" ”
The guy said mysteriously, "Not at all." ”
"It's strange, I don't deposit or take money, so what do you do with the silver number?"
"This ......" the guy looked a little hesitant, and Camellia shook his arm and said coquettishly, "Tell me, I promise not to tell anyone." ”
Camellia has a bit of a posture, this coquettishness, since the guy was dizzy, and said everything, "Actually, I don't know what Mr. Cai came to do, it was the shopkeeper who received it personally, but I know they came yesterday." ”
Camellia heard the question of this sentence with the tip of her ear, "They? Does anyone else come with Mr. Cai? ”
The man nodded, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, King Ning came with Manager Cai in person, and after the shopkeeper talked to them for a while, he brought up a full 30,000 taels of silver tickets. ”
"Thirty thousand taels?" Camellia exclaimed, the guy was afraid of being heard, so he quickly covered her mouth and said nervously: "Shhh Be quiet, the shopkeeper is inside. ”
After Camellia came to his senses, he pulled down his hand, "All this silver is for King Ning?" ”
"It should be, after King Ning left, I saw the shopkeeper put away a large stack of things, and one fell down at that time, I helped pick it up, and found that it was a field deed, and the person belonging to it was King Ning!"
Hearing this, Camellia had already understood what had happened, and after finding an excuse to say goodbye to his buddy, he returned to the west courtyard of King Ning's Mansion and told Gao Xueliu all these things.
Ziye closed the window and said in surprise: "The prince actually took the land deed to mortgage, what does he want so much silver for?" ”
Gao Xueliu said with a pale face: "Don't you understand? It is not the prince who needs silver, but Ye Xuemei. ”
Ziye said in disbelief: "Niangniang is saying that in order to raise money for her, the prince did not hesitate to mortgage the land deed?" ”
This sentence made Gao Xueliu's face a little ugly, and he said coldly: "If I hadn't let Camellia follow Cai He, I would still be in the dark." ”
"One more thing." Camellia said in a low voice: "Before the slave maid came, I went to the account room on purpose, and I heard Mr. Accounting Room say that the princess sent 20,000 taels of silver last night, and Mr. Cai took it and returned it this morning." ”
Gao Xueliu was surprised: "Shi Fenglan took the silver to the account room?" ”
Camellia nodded and said: "Well, it should be the dowry silver given to her by the Pingyang Palace, but the slave maid couldn't have imagined that not only did she not go to the prince to make trouble, but also took the initiative to take out the silver to make up for the hole." ”
Gao Xueliu's eyelids jumped fiercely, her hands clenched the handkerchief embroidered with purple magnolia, and said with cold eyes: "It is said that Shibei should be impressed by each other for three days, which is really not wrong at all." The evergreen county lord, who has always been arrogant and willful, has also learned the word 'forbearance'. ”
