Chapter 244: The Imperial Examination Case (6)
"I'm here to withdraw the money I saved."
The man slapped the 100,000 yuan ticket and half a jasper ring on the high counter in a rough voice, a guy glanced at the amount on the counter ticket, was frightened, and ran into the inner room in a panic, and after a while, Feng Da shopkeeper hurried over with a small box, he looked at this person carefully, and checked the cabinet ticket and jade ring, but pushed it back to this person.
"What? Is there a problem with this ticket? You issued it. The man's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, it was very likely that the cabinet had no money, he pointed to the four gold leaf characters posted on the wall: pay when you see the ticket, and said: "This is the rule you set, now that the cabinet tickets and tokens are brought, why can't you withdraw money." ”
"The guest officer took a closer look, and there was a line of small print underneath." Shopkeeper Feng smiled, put his hand in his sleeve, and looked like a profiteer.
The man took a closer look, and there was indeed a line of small white characters below, the font and the wall color were almost the same, if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see it at all, "If you withdraw more than 5,000 yuan at a time, you need to deposit in person." ”
"W-When did this rule?" The man was dumbfounded, but his mouth was wide open but he couldn't close it.
Shopkeeper Feng smiled and said: "The rules have been in place since the opening, and Wang Baoji also has this rule, this is to protect the interests of the depositor, the guest officer still invites Jia Dongzhu, and the person will pay when he arrives." ”
"Okay, wait a minute!" The man threw down a sentence and strode out, in fact, Jia Hai was outside the door, and he had an extra layer of consideration. Afraid that Li Qing is inside, the two of them know each other.
"How? But they have no money? Jia Hai saw that his subordinates came out empty-handed, which was already expected by him, King Qing told him that the household department had just paid a sum of money to the palace, and now there should be no money to withdraw.
"Archdeacon, they made an excuse that they had to take it himself. And he rejected me. ”
This must be an excuse, Jia Hai couldn't stop sneering, he was because the access interval was short, so they still knew each other, if he saved for a year or two, could he still remember?
"Are there officials in there?"
"Nope. It's all guys and shopkeepers! ”
Jia Hai's heart was slightly lowered, he took the counter ticket and the jade ring, and then turned back to a few henchmen and said: "Look at me out, you can go to the shops in the east and west cities to publicize, remember, don't let the government catch it!" ”
Several of his subordinates bowed down in unison and said, "Subordinates obey!" ”
Jia Hai straightened his clothes and strode up the steps with his chest puffed up, a mocking smile on his lips, imagining the chaos that would have been caused when he appeared.
The door of the cabinet shop is not large, but the inside is unusually spacious. Inside, there is a long row of counters, and some merchants are redeeming counter tickets. The guys inside were running back and forth, busy.
Shopkeeper Feng and a few guys were already waiting at the door. Jia Hai smiled and strode into the threshold, "I'm here to withdraw money, the cabinet of the government shouldn't be so poor that you can't even take out 100,000 yuan!" ”
"Where! Where! Jia Dongzhu, please sit inside, drink a cup of tea, I have already sent someone to count the remaining money, and I will be there later! ”
Shopkeeper Feng respectfully opened the side door and invited Jia Hai into the inner room to rest. He smiled proudly and walked into the inner room with his hands behind his back. As soon as he entered the door, he froze, and saw a person in the inner room sitting at the round table with his legs crossed, smiling, but his smile made Jia Hai frightened and chilled, it was his enemy Li Qing.
"The second young man of the Hai family, don't come to harm?"
Jahi's head 'Buzz! With a bang, he turned around and ran, but the two of them had already blocked the door, cutting off his retreat, and then rushed out from behind the door A few fierce men, Jia Hai only felt a sharp passage on his neck, and his eyes were fainting, as if the strength of his whole body had been drained, and he couldn't even make a sound.
Several big men knocked him to the ground with three punches and two feet, tied his hands and feet, and then blocked his mouth with a ball of rags, Li Qing sighed, shook his head lightly and said, "Does King Qing think his plan is seamless?" Sent me 100,000 yuan for nothing. ”
He walked up to Jia Hai and squatted down, looked at his murderous gaze with pity, and said with a faint smile: "Do you know what I'm going to do next?" I will send you to the official, you are the remnant of the Hai family, only when you die, I can sleep well, as for the 100,000 yuan, that is the unfinished money of your Hai family, naturally it will be confiscated, I think His Royal Highness King Qing should flatly deny that he knows you! ”
Li Qing stood up and said sharply: "Someone! ”
Immediately from the side doors on both sides of the large group of guards with knives, Li Qing glanced at Jia Hai, and said coldly: "First drive away all the carriages at the door, and then send me the news, the remnants of the Hai family were arrested in Chang'an West City, and are now locked up in Wannian County, this news must reach the ears of King Qing." ”
Jia Hai's face suddenly turned to ashes, he suddenly understood Li Qing's vicious intentions, he actually wanted King Qing to kill himself, he was extremely angry, and his eyes shot an extremely poisonous gaze.
Li Qing glanced at him in disgust, and with a slight wave of his hand, the big men immediately lifted Jia Hai and walked out, and they heard him from afar. Woo! The ground screamed and cursed.
"Humph!" Li Qing sneered, his eyes had narrowed into a slit, he looked up at the roof and said to himself: "His Royal Highness King Qing, since you didn't eat the toast last time, then I will let you taste the taste of punishment wine this time." ”
.
"Smack!" With a bang, a porcelain bowl was slammed to the ground and shattered into thousands of pieces, "Bastard!" Qingwang Li Cong roared in a low voice, turned around and swept all the things on the table to the ground, kicked over the table, and scolded: "Li Qing! Damn bastard, you dare to calculate the money of this king, are you impatient! ”
Li Cong's face was swollen and red, his eyes seemed to erupt with flames, and a green tendon burst out on his forehead, jumping suddenly, he had just received the news that Jia Hai had been arrested, and his 100,000 yuan was actually identified as the property of the Hai family, and the official government was confiscated, Li Cong was angry, like a mad beast, he wanted to tear Li Qing to pieces at this moment.
"Oh my God! My 100,000 dollars. "The buttocks sit on the ground, crying without tears.
His son Li Li stood silently outside the door, listening to his father crying and making trouble in the room, his face was full of shame, because of his conceit, he was on Li Qing's big dang in Yangzhou, and when he came back, Li Qing had seen the emperor early in the morning, so that he tasted the pain of the defeated army, and today he once again played tricks on his father, Li Li's fists were clenched and rattled, and his teeth were almost crushed, 'Li Qing, you are really too deceitful! “
He didn't want to think about it, his father just lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, but Li Li, who had experienced a failure, learned a lesson, he knew that the top priority now was not what to do with Li Qing, but how to deal with the current crisis, the Hai family's arms trafficking case caused a sensation throughout the country at that time, everyone knew that their father was the big backstage of the Hai family, but they didn't catch the evidence, but this time it was different, the remnants of the Hai family's escape turned out to be the archdeacon of the Qingwang Mansion,
I can't explain it, as for money, it's something outside the body.
"My money!.
Li Cong's pain for money made Li Li outside the door can't help but despise him, "The dignified emperor, is it this kind of virtue, can't you tell which is more important and which is lighter?" ’
Li Li is actually not Li Congzhi, he is the late Li Yingzhi, his father died when he was a teenager, the family was ruined, and he was given to his heirless uncle as a successor, which is now King Qing.
"Money! My heart, come back quickly! ”
Li Li's wailing made Li Li unable to hold back any longer, pushed open the door of the concealed room, strode in, and saw his father sitting on the ground with a cloak, his eyes glazed, and his lips were still covered with snot, that look, like a woman who had been raped, Li Li took two steps tightly, and quickly helped his father up and sat on the chair, "Father, money is not important, don't think about it.
Li Li's words haven't been finished yet, Li Cong's smack! A big mouth fanned him, and his eyes were full of stars, and his cheeks immediately swelled, and he was only heard to say viciously in his ears: "Money is not important, what is important, I want the position of Taizhi, can you give it to me?" ”
Li Li's heart was furious, and he had an urge to kill, but he still endured it, gritted his teeth and said: "If the emperor knows that his father is protecting the remnants of the Hai family, his father will not want to do it too even if he is a junior." ”
He said it very politely. But Li Cong didn't seem to notice the tone and attitude of his speech, but was taken aback by his words,
"What do you say! How could the emperor know that I was shielding the Hai family? ”
"How could you not know? Do you think that Li Qing is a good man and a woman? As long as Jia Hai recruits, he can hand it over at any time, and then the matter will be big. ”
At this time, Li Cong had slowly regained his senses, and what he said was completely possible, Li Qingruo wanted to sue himself. It can be done at any time, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "Wu'er means that you want to kill Jia Hai first?" ”
Li Li nodded slightly, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he leaned forward slightly. Said to Li Cong: "I think there is something wrong with this matter, as far as I know, the news that Jia Customs is detained in Wannian County is released by the cabinet people, I suspect that this is very likely to be Li Qing's meaning, his purpose should still be to let his father go, so he deliberately created an opportunity for us, father, since he used Li Chengshi as a scapecosm for the theft of official salt in Yangzhou, presumably it should be the same this time, and it is estimated that he does not want to offend his father too much." ”
"You mean to send people directly to the county government of Wannian County. Is it true that Jia Hai was slaughtered with a knife? ”
"Yes! That's what it means to be a child. ”
Li Cong sighed, it was easy to kill him. But what about your own 100,000 yuan? Because of this, he was extremely depressed. But he had no choice but to say: "This matter will be handed over to you, and I will kill him as soon as possible, so as not to cause any more extraneous branches." ”
.
The night was deep, the sky was overcast, the sky was covered with thick clouds, there was no moon, and from time to time strong winds swept over the treetops, blowing and falling one by one. There was silence near the county government of Wannian County, and the sound of the patrol was beating weakly. Close to the edge of a private house in the county government, a sleepy-eyed nightman was standing at the foot of the wall and trembling, when suddenly, a black shadow swept over his head, frightened him into his soul, and fled into the house in three steps and two steps.
The gate of the county government is closed, the faces of the two huge stone pixiu appear to be extremely hideous, the ya's *** is completely black, and the outline of the doors and windows is faintly visible under the huge shadow of the tree, at this time, the black shadow from a big tree outside the wall A relaxed flip, it crossed the high county government wall, like a withered fall, he looked around vigilantly, the upper edge of the black scarf covering the face, a pair of bright pupils shining, and after a while, seeing that the appointed time was up, he whistled lightly, and a slight footstep came from the turn, Immediately a man in soap clothes appeared, and when he saw the man in black showing a silver medal, he said anxiously: "That guy is very fine, and he didn't eat the tea and rice I sent at all, so he couldn't do it for a while." ”
The man in black waved his hand, and said coldly: "The little prince has expected him to be like this, so I came, where is he locked up?" You lead me in front. ”
"It's in the side room, please come with me!"
.
Jia Hai was locked in an empty room on the edge of the county government with shackles, the thick iron chain passed through his collarbone, encircled him on an iron pillar, and several officials were guarding outside, he was passively punished, his lower body was almost broken, at this moment he was all in discouragement, what revenge and hatred plan had left him, he knew that he would die this time, even if Li Qing let him go, King Qing would not let him live, he knew too well that vicious and ruthless person, the destruction of the family was doomed a hundred years ago, From the time when his ancestors first sold weapons to the Tibetans, to when he was the last person, he recruited everything during the day, and all the confessions were drawn, including all the things he did for King Qing, since he was sure to die, then he would not let King Qing spend the rest of his life in peace.
Several officials outside drank wine, already snoring loudly, the aroma of wine and food wafted in, making Jia Hai feel hungry, he glanced at the food plate at his feet, which was stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and a pile of musty brown rice, which had just been replaced, should not be poisonous, but such a bad meal, how could he swallow it, but the hunger was really unbearable, Jia Hai sighed, and had to pick up the food plate, but just when he took off the fish and shrimp and was about to eat, there was a soft sound above his head, and when he looked up, a man in black had landed like a raccoon cat, He stared at Jia Hai tightly, his vicious gaze revealing a sneer of death.
'Bang! The food plate fell to the ground, and Jia Hai's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, although he knew that he would die, but when death really came, he felt extremely frightened.
"Someone. Throat, vitality gradually disappeared from Jia Hai's eyes, and as soon as the sword was drawn, the corpse fell straight to the ground.
The man in black carefully touched his nose again to confirm that he was dead, and then put away his sword and jumped towards the roof, but as soon as he touched the roof, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and at the hole in the roof, the tip of an arrow shining with a cold luster was aimed at the door in front of him, and he was in the air, and he had nowhere to use his strength, and his ears only heard 'poof!' With a sound on the ground, the man in black only felt a sharp pain in his face, and as soon as his eyes were dark, he fell to the ground.
.
The next day, the news of King Qing's murder spread on the streets of Chang'an, and a large number of officials from Dali Temple, Yushitai, and the Criminal Department rushed to Wannian County to transport away the bodies of Jia Hai and the man in black, and at the same time arrested the public man who led the way for the man in black.
