Chapter 155
Three days later, Li Sicong got the approval document, plus one hundred taels of gold.
But the most useful thing is not these, but the title of Qianniuwei, with this title, wherever you go, you will be treated as a guest, after all, it is the person next to the emperor, and no one wants to offend.
These days, Li Sicong lives in an inn outside the imperial city, although he doesn't worry about eating and drinking, and he sleeps sweetly, but he always feels unsteady.
After thinking about it, Li Sicong still decided to go back to Sicong Department Store.
However, at this time, the Sicong Department Store had already been hollowed out, and there was still a seal, and it was not easy to re-move in.
When Li Sicong took a special carriage and left the palace gate, he was asked by the coachman where he was going. Li Sicong didn't want to think about it, and replied directly to the 'Metropolitan Administration'.
When the carriage stopped at the door of the Metropolitan Administration, Li Sicong was dressed in a brand-new official uniform and walked down from the carriage.
"I want to see Liu Shiling, my store has been sealed, please be accommodating."
"Get out of here! Otherwise, you will be arrested and jailed! ”
After a middle-aged man at the door was pushed away, he shook his head and walked away.
Li Sicong saw the appearance of the middle-aged man, but he felt a little embarrassed, as if he saw his original shadow.
The guard at the door saw Li Sicong coming, and was a little puzzled at first, but after seeing what Li Sicong was wearing, he hurriedly bowed forward to greet him.
"Lord Qianniuwei, are you looking for Lord Shiling?" The guard asked.
Li Sicong nodded: "Yes, there is something to do with him, my store was closed by him." ”
"What? Your shop is closed? ”
The guard was startled at first, and then said in disbelief: "Your Excellency, you can't be mistaken, right?" How could Liu Shiling close your store? ”
"Why, do you think I'm trying to lie to you?" Li Sicong said.
A little cold sweat broke out on the guard's forehead: "That's not what I mean, I'll take you there." ”
After speaking, the guards crowded and walked to the front: "My lord, please come with me." ”
Li Sicong nodded, then walked behind the guards and went directly to the room where Liu Shiling was working.
"Adult"
The guard just wanted to report, but Liu Shiling was the first to speak: "Didn't you say it, if you don't pay the rent, no one will come." ”
"Lord Liu?"
Li Sicong's words came out, but Liu Shiling's face was stunned, and he turned to look in Li Sicong's direction: "It's you?" You, you're dressed in Qianniuwei? ”
Li Sicong was not surprised, this Qianniuwei was just a name, and he would definitely not publicize it, and it was not surprising that Liu Shiling did not know.
"Yes, I just took office by His Majesty's will." Li Sicong said.
Liu Shiling heard this, although his head was a mess, he still hurriedly got up and went to greet Li Sicong: "My lord, please sit down, come on!" Look at the tea! ”
Li Sicong raised his hand and said, "Don't bother, Liu Shiling, I came to you this time for something." ”
Liu Shiling sat opposite Li Sicong: "I don't know what can bother Lord Qianniuwei to come here?" ”
"Oh, it's not a big deal."
Li Sicong said lightly, and then said: "It's my store that someone has closed it, so what?"
The corners of Liu Shiling's mouth twitched slightly, and then he scolded angrily: "Which bastard dares to seal down the adult's shop, turn around and ask me to find out, and I will investigate it seriously!" ”
"Hehe, that's fine, it's just Liu Shiling, do you see if my store is it?"
"Unblock now, unblock now!"
After Liu Shiling finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to the desk, waved his pen and ink to thank a letter of order, stamped it, and handed it to Li Sicong: "My lord, this is a letter of order, and your store can be operated today." ”
"Oh? Really? ”
Li Sicong raised his eyebrows: "Then I have to thank Liu Shiling." ”
"Wherever and wherever it is, it's what the lower officials should do."
Liu Shiling said, and then asked: "I don't know if there are any other things that adults can ask the little ones to help?" ”
"Anyone else who helps? Oh, it's really there, I've been short on money lately, so I want to borrow a little money from Liu Shiling. Li Sicong said.
"Borrow some money?"
Liu Shiling was stunned at first, and then said: "I don't know how much the adults need, if the lower officials can help, it will definitely be incumbent." ”
Li Sicong looked at Liu Shiling's generous appearance, but he sneered a little in his heart, thinking, you old fritter usually doesn't have a lot of oil and water, and you have to scrape the oil for a few days.
"Hehe, it doesn't take much, just this number."
Li Sicong raised a finger, and Liu Shiling said, "One hundred? ”
Li Sicong shook his head, his face was a little ugly, but when Liu Shiling saw this, he hurriedly changed his words: "One hundred gold? ”
"Hey, it seems that Liu Shiling is also having a hard time, and he can't even take out a thousand taels of gold for this meagre, so I will explain this matter to His Majesty another day, and ask His Majesty to send down Long'en, and allow Liu Shiling to dismiss his armor and return to the field, and enjoy the joy of family."
After Li Sicong said a word, he then got up and looked like he was leaving.
Liu Shiling's face was shocked, at this time, how could he not know that Li Sicong was here to find fault, and then hurriedly got up and blocked in front of Li Sicong: "Lord Li, slow down!" ”
Li Sicong looked at Liu Shiling and said with some curiosity: "Why did Liu Shiling stop this official?" ”
Liu Shiling gritted his teeth slightly and said, "My lord, I am willing to lend two thousand taels of gold, and I ask my lord to accept it with a smile." ”
"Two thousand taels?"
Li Sicong was quite surprised: "How can this be made?" It's too much, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay it back, borrowing so much, my conscience will be disturbed, or make an IOU. ”
"Oh?"
When Liu Shiling heard this, his originally ugly expression suddenly relaxed, and at least the money could be returned if he had an IOU.
"Since your lord insists on doing so, then let's write an IOU." Liu Shiling.
Li Sicong nodded, and then went to the desk, wrote an IOU, and raised his hand to press a red handprint.
After Li Sicong handed over the IOU to Liu Shiling, Liu Shiling didn't even look at it, and directly folded the IOU and grabbed it into the palm of his hand.
"Won't Lord Liu take a look at the IOU?" Li Sicong said.
"Where, Master Li laughed."
Liu Shiling said, and then shouted to the subordinates outside the door: "Go and call the Qi account room to come over." ”
After the man received the order, he turned around and left, and it didn't take long for a middle-aged man in a green shirt to come in.
"Qi account room, you go and take Lord Li to withdraw two thousand taels of gold."
"Two thousand taels of gold is, please come with me, my lord."
Qi Ledger said, and it was to lead the way.
Li Sicong followed him out of the door, went straight to the account room and asked someone to carry a large box full of gold and deliver it to the carriage, and then drove away.
After sending Li Sicong away, Qi returned to the study and asked Liu Shiling: "My lord, you just gave him two thousand taels of gold for nothing?" ”
Liu Shiling disagreed: "It's okay, I've made an IOU." ”
That's it. Liu Shiling grabbed the IOU from his cuff and handed it to the Qi account room.
After the Qi account room took the IOU and opened it, the whole person was suddenly dumbfounded: "My lord, this IOU, this"
"What's wrong? Is the IOU fake? Liu Shiling asked.
"Not really, it's up to you to see for yourself."
Qi Shufang returned the IOU to Liu Shiling, and after Liu Shiling took it and took a look, his face suddenly turned pale, only to see that the return date of the IOU was seventy years later.
