Chapter 17: The Final Chapter of the King of a Thousand Kings
It's on the rookie weekly list, everyone votes to support it! Thank you! )
With the shouts outside Ye Yuan, a man in a green robe hurriedly ran in outside, looking about forty years old, with a clear face and a radiant look. Recently, he saluted Ye Yuanwai, and Ye Yuanwai said: "Father, I want to go to the shore to have a look, and you and the Ximen official will take him with him when you go to get medicinal herbs in a while, no way, the older the person, the more stubborn his temper becomes...... " said and sighed again.
The butler hurriedly agreed, and summoned his subordinates, and there were always thirty or forty of them. When the boat was brought ashore, he helped the old man down, and Ximen Qingzhi, who was watching, shook his head, this old lady has to be lively, this is going to bump into his own bag.
The group hired a carriage and horses at the dock and hurried to the city.
When he arrived at the Ximen Pharmacy, Steward Ye was really resolute, and immediately counted the treasury with Ximen Qing, calculated the money, and after each point, he asked his subordinates to move into the carriage that had been hired earlier. In the blink of an eye, the medicinal materials of the West Gate were swept away, and the outside was full of three carts of medicinal materials.
Steward Ye and Ximenqing returned to the living room, and the two checked the accounts in detail, all the medicinal materials together were more than 1,300 guan, Steward Ye saw that the accounts were correct, nodded, and took out a Jiaozi from his arms and handed it to Ximenqing, Ximenqing smiled and Mimi took it, but was dumbfounded, Ximenqing's eyes were a little painful with the big "10,000 guan" three words on it, and he shouted in his heart, Mom, it's really not the Ye family. The shot is the handiwork of this boss, Lao Tzu has never seen such a large denomination of Jiaozi ******. It took a long time before he was willing to look away, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Steward Ye's denomination is too big, and the small one is really hard to find." ”
Steward Ye thought about it in embarrassment, turned around and saw the old lady who was drinking tea there slowly, and said with a smile: "In this way, I will put Jiaozi here with the old lady, and I will send the medicinal materials to the boat with my subordinates, and then ask the master for some scraps of money to settle it with you." ”
Ximen Qing was angry when he heard it, damn, almost all of Lao Tzu's net worth is a fraction of money in your eyes, how can you talk like this. But he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he nodded with a smile and said yes. Steward Ye said again: "Tell your subordinates to help load the boat, we don't have enough manpower here." "What can Ximen Qing say? I can only smile and agree. Steward Ye carefully stuffed Jiaozi into the old lady's arms, and said respectfully: "Old lady, you rest first, and I will pick you up in a while." ”
The old lady didn't know what to mumble a few more words, and Steward Ye said with a smile: "Cheng, Cheng, Cheng, don't worry, we will be there in a while." Said to Ximen Qing: "The big officials should be good at entertaining my old lady, don't neglect his old man." Of course, Ximenqing patted his chest and promised to serve the old lady comfortably. Steward Ye was satisfied, and then he took a group of people and drove the carriage away.
Ximenqing accompanied him carefully and wanted to talk to the old lady for a few words, but he said a few words, but he really couldn't understand what the old lady muttered. I lost interest all of a sudden, so I had to sit on the side, thinking in my heart, this Ye Yuanwai and Ye Steward are really not easy, I don't know how to practice to understand the meaning of this old man. sighed in my heart, but saw that the old lady just kept tasting tea, although the movement was very slow, but a cup of tea gradually dried up. Hurriedly poured tea for the old lady again.
Watching the time pass slowly, Ximenqing became a little impatient, and said in his heart, how can I send a medicinal herb for this old half a day? It can't be Wuda who is going to make trouble, right? Thinking about it again, it is impossible, this guy of Wuda looks very shrewd now, and he will never provoke a force like the Ye family that he will never be able to provoke. Look at this old lady anymore, she doesn't drink tea, she probably has drunk enough, and she is recuperating with her eyes closed. Although Ximenqing was helpless, he had no choice, so he had to start closing his eyes and recuperating.
It was getting dark, Ximenqing suddenly had a numb scalp, remembered a possibility, and his heart fluttered and fluttered, seeing the old lady napping there, he couldn't bear it anymore, he slowly stretched his hand into the old lady's arms, touched a piece of paper, and took it out, and saw that it was Zhang Jiaozi, and his heart was relieved, when he opened it casually, and wanted to appreciate the three big characters of "10,000 runs", his heart suddenly twitched, and his eyes stared at the boss, and his eyeballs protruded, and it seemed that he could fall down at any time. Ximenqing didn't pay attention to the fact that his eyes were hurting and his heart was hurting, because the big word "consistent" on the Jiaozi had already made him feel like falling into an extremely cold ice cellar, cold to the bottom.
At the same time, the martial arts family, Pan Jinlian couldn't find Yulan everywhere, so she couldn't help frowning, and went back to the room sullenly. Jin Lian shook her head and did not speak. Wu Zhi, who had been closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, opened his eyes and said, "Is Yulan missing?" Looking at Jin Lian's surprised gaze, Wu Zhi smiled and said, "She will come back." Then he closed his eyes and refreshed himself. Looking at the unfathomable appearance of the martial arts officials, Jin Lian and Jin'er looked at each other and smiled, and they both shook their heads and walked out.
At the same time, Long Wu looked at Zhang San who was panicking in front of him, and said, "Are you saying that you did what I ordered, and Ximen Qing still ran to the Grand Canal Wharf?" And the people who took the Ye family transported all the medicinal materials away? His voice trembled slightly, Zhang San thought that Long Wu was angry, and hurriedly said, "The little one really did what you said?" Who knows that the officials of Simon don't seem to believe what the little one said at all, and the little one can't help it. ”
Long Wu waved his hand and motioned for him to go down, and after Zhang San walked out, Long Wu couldn't hold back anymore and chuckled. Big brother is really Zhuge Liang, last time he told me to ask Zhang San to find a way to prevent Ximenqing from going to see the so-called "Ye Yuanwai", I still think it is strange. How can eyeliner be used so much for a lot of money? I really didn't expect it, but Ximenqing was stunned and desperately drilled into the set, the eldest brother's hand is really high.
In the inner hall of Ximen Pharmacy, time seemed to freeze, and after staying for a long time, Ximen Qing was excited, stood up violently, and shouted: "Someone! me somebody!!! At the same time, he grabbed the old lady who was still napping, and wanted to slap the old man, but he raised his hand in the air but stopped suddenly, looking at the frightened old man, he couldn't breathe when he was caught, and the corners of his mouth gradually overflowed with white foam, and it seemed that there was a possibility of going to the fairy at any time. He pushed the old man back into his chair. I took a long breath and muttered in my heart, calm down, calm down......
Yanggu County Ya, suddenly lively, first Yanggu is now the most popular official Wu Zhi and Ma Wancheng Pharmacy owner Ma Wancheng jointly sued the wealthy businessman Ye Yuanwai in Jiangnan for not abiding by business ethics, tearing up the contract, causing the two to hoard a large number of medicinal materials, must ask the county magistrate to call the shots, when the former official Ximen Qingti slipped a half-dead old man and ran into the county office, accusing the old man of pretending to be Ye Yuanwai's father, and deceiving himself with a group of liars, and begging the county magistrate to quickly track down the building boat that pretended to be Ye Yuanwai. As soon as Jiang Zhixian heard this, he immediately dispatched a group of officials to hunt down this gang of liars, and quickly wrote a document and sent it to neighboring prefectures and counties, asking the neighboring prefectures and counties to cooperate in arresting them. Wu Zhi and Ma Wancheng also wilted, and they no longer made a fuss about asking Jiang Zhixian to send documents to Jiangnan.
Wu Zhi and Lao Ma immediately became supporting roles, only obediently watching Jiang Zhixian bravely try the fraud case on the side, the old man in the hall muttered vigorously, and he didn't know what he was talking about, Jiang Zhixian, who was originally angry, was slowly tortured by the old man and lost his temper, speaking of which, this old man really couldn't beat or scold. I had to ask the officials next to me to find someone to paint a portrait of the old man and send it to neighboring states and counties, hoping to find some clues.
It wasn't until the next day that Ximenqing followed the guys who went to deliver the medicinal herbs to return to Yanggu with a grief-stricken expression, and the magistrate asked to know that these guys drank tea in the building boat and didn't know what to do, and when they woke up, they found that they were already near Yuncheng in the lower reaches of the canal. He was penniless, so he found the carriage and returned to Yanggu.
After a few days, I finally found the building boat along the Grand Canal a hundred miles away, and I learned that this is the most famous Qinglou painting boat in Hangzhou, Jiangnan, and was taken away by the guests a while ago, and told them to send someone to Yuncheng Wharf to pick up the boat these days, and they didn't know anything else. As for the crooks, there was no trace of them, and no one in the vicinity had ever seen a man with six fingers appear. After checking this, the case entered a dead end.
Ma Wancheng Medical Center, this time the business is very good, because the nearby states and counties are checking the circulation of medicinal materials, hoping to find any clues, as if the supply of nearby medicinal materials has been greatly affected, after all, no one wants to find trouble at this time, many merchants who supply medicinal materials have temporarily stopped the supply of these counties, so after everyone learned that the Ma family pharmacy has hoarded a large number of medicinal materials due to the impact of the fraud case, they have come to run. It made a small fire in the Ma family pharmacy.
No one knows, all of this is a bureau, a bureau that Wu Zhi has been planning for a long time, only the fake Ye Yuan knows the whole inside story, the fake butler and Long Wu know the whole thing, and only Long Wu is the only one who knows that Wu Zhi is involved. Ye Yuanwai and Steward Ye are the two liars that Long Wu found from the south, and now that the two have received a heavy reward, they don't know where to go for a long time. As for the people on the ship, they were all temporarily recruited from the south by two crooks, and even if they were found, nothing could be found. From the beginning, let Long Wu find a few henchmen to publicize the Jiangnan epidemic, the good things of the Chinese people are estimated to have not changed for 5,000 years, and sure enough, there are countless followers, Wu Zhi casually asked a few words about the Jiangnan epidemic in front of Jiang Zhixian, Jiang Zhixian learned of the excitement on the street, and was afraid that he would be targeted on the cusp of his promotion, so he hurriedly ordered to refute the rumors. Who knew that this matter was getting bigger and bigger, Wu Zhi ordered Long Wu to arrange a few Jiangnan people to enter Yanggu, and urgently sent these people away that night. So after coming and going, Ye Yuanwai also appeared smoothly. As for exchanging real money for fake money, this kind of scammer is not uncommon in modern society, and Wu Zhi is just a small test. As for the impostor old lady, after the portrait was sent out, the children of his neighboring county would naturally come to pick him up, this old man was picked up at random in the neighboring county, and threw some money at his family, it is estimated that the children of the people are still anxious to see the old man missing. And Jiang Zhixian can't be embarrassed for them because of reason. As for Simon's medicinal herbs, they had found a buyer many days in advance, and they had already sold them that night, and the swindlers naturally scattered.
When the list was issued from all over the country and checkpoints were set up to search for the six-fingered person, Wu Zhi was considered a complete victory, because the impostor was not six fingers at all, but the sixth finger was temporarily stained with the five severed fingers of the dragon, and Wu Zhi Ding Ximen officials would never dare to carefully observe Ye Yuanwai's fingers, and everything developed according to his plan.
As for the medicinal materials hoarded by the Ma family's pharmacy to be sold, it was not expected by Wu Zhi, but he didn't expect that the merchants of the Song Dynasty would be so afraid of trouble, but they would temporarily stop their business because of a strict inspection of the source. He originally thought that these medicinal materials could be sold slowly, and as for the loss he suffered, it was a drop in the bucket compared to the money he had defrauded.
When Long Wu got back the fake 10,000 guanzi that night, Wu Zhi's last bit of worry disappeared. The diaphragm plate he instructed Long Wu to find in the south was made by the skillful craftsmen, and there were a total of thirty-six places, and no one knew that he was making a fake Jiaozi diaphragm. Although the finished product looks rough, even Wu Zhi can't help but feel his heart beat when he sees the three words of 10,000 guan, how can he pay attention to anything else. In this era, there is no such thing as counterfeit money. What's more, at that time, Steward Ye deliberately used words to provoke Ximenqing, which just happened to distract him. Wu Zhi burned the fake Jiaozi that night, you must know that although this case is in an uproar, it will slowly subside in a short time, but if this fake Jiaozi appears, it will definitely alarm the imperial court, and I don't know what will happen after a thorough investigation.
(Digression: The Song Dynasty doesn't seem to have 10,000 Jiaozi, this is just a story need, please smile after reading it)
