Chapter 501: Temporary Mission

On the way back from Panfu, Li Yanqing was still reminiscing about Panfu's victory, although the kettle and arrow competition itself was not a brilliant record for him, but the final result made him look forward to it, especially the unanimous support of the Cao family for him, which made him feel that he seemed to have found something.......

After the turmoil in the Wang family completely subsided, is it necessary for him to invite his father to the Cao family to propose, he really likes Cao Yun very much, that delicate face, gentle and quiet character, everything makes him heartbeat, a few contacts, he feels that Cao Yun is the wife he has been waiting for for a long time.

Li Yanqing looked at the seven-star sword in his hand again, this is the second time Cao Xuan has given this sword to himself, the first time is in the Lianggong Weapon Mansion, that time he was hot-headed, but he quickly regretted it, and this time he was willing to give the sword to himself, Cao Ping's trust and sincerity in himself, of course Li Yanqing knew it.

Li Yanqing gently pulled out the sword from the scabbard, only to feel the cold, this is indeed an extremely sharp sword, the hilt is inlaid with seven ancient gems, and the bottom of the hilt can vaguely see a handwriting 'Jing' that has not been completely polished, this was the sword of Li Jing, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he couldn't help but think of the wordless 'Great Ancestor Spirit Card' in the Li ancestral hall, is there a kind of providence in the dark?

When the ox cart was about to reach the Yunqi Bridge, Zhang Hu and Yang Guang appeared by the car window, and Zhang Hu reported to Li Yanqingyu: "The humble post has been negotiated with the black man. ”

Of course, the black man is just a nickname, this person is the largest weapons merchant in the black market in the capital, and Zhang Hu is responsible for trading with him by the tooth man introduced by Li Dongdong.

"What price does he give?"

"Back to the imperial history, he agreed to give us the lowest price, eighteen times for each spear, ten times for each sword, and five times for the shield, which is half cheaper than buying alone, and it is guaranteed to be standard weapons."

"At this price, the ordnance supervisor can't even recover the capital."

Of course, Li Yanqing knew that black market weapons were almost a business, and he made ten times the huge profits at the risk of killing his head, and he made five times the huge profits at half the price.

He sneered and asked, "Do you have a thousand spears?" ”

"They can only provide a maximum of five hundred spears, and the others can give five hundred swords and five hundred shields."

Li Yanqing calculated, it would cost sixteen thousand five hundred yuan, which was also a big number, and he asked again, "Can it be delivered to the designated place?" ”

"I have negotiated with him, and it can be sent to other parts of the capital for free, but they will charge another 1,000 yuan if they send it to the city, and they need to pay some tax collectors."

"And when will it be delivered?"

"Their goods are just outside the city, they can be delivered at any time as long as they are paid, and they agree to accept them."

Li Yanqing asked Yang Guang again, "Has the house been leased?" ”

Yang Guang hurriedly said: "Back to the imperial history, it has been rented, it is the place designated before, behind it is the Bianhe, the humble post rented two warehouses, the back door leads to the Bianhe, the front is close to the Tang family's gold and silver shop, there is a very narrow alley to go to the street." ”

Li Yanqing immediately said to Zhang Hu: "I will give you the money tomorrow, and I will order the goods you just mentioned, 500 pieces of each of the three things, and let them deliver the goods to the rented room, and try to get things done before nightfall." ”

"Obey the order!"

Zhang Hu and Yang Guang left quickly, Li Yanqing still felt a little painful when he thought about it, it actually cost more than 17,000 yuan, spending such a large price is enough to buy a top killer, but Li Yanqing needs to use his method to eradicate Song Jiang, even if he has to spend more than 10,000 yuan, he is willing.

.........

Early the next morning, Li Yanqing came to the military prison in an ox cart as usual, he got off the ox cart in the courtyard, and immediately found that today's military prison was different from usual, there were actually six sentries standing on the steps, but in the past, there was no one to guard, anyone could enter and exit at will, how could there be a sentry today?

"Li Yushi!"

Qin Hui, who was standing at the door, saw Li Yanqing and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "There are guards today, I'm afraid that they are not familiar with the people in the military prison, so I am here to greet them." ”

Speaking of this, Qin Hui handed a silver medal to Li Yanqing, "This is Li Yushi's brand, you can enter at will if you show it in the future." ”

Li Yanqing took the sign, only to see that the front of the sign was engraved with the words 'Military Prison', and behind it was the name of his title: 'Serving the Imperial History Li Yanqing', "This is also just engraved!" Li Yanqing said with a smile.

"Someone sent by the Ministry of Officials early this morning."

"Will there be a change in the military prison?"

"There is indeed a change, the 500,000 Guan Gong Gong money has been approved, I will buy all the items today, and you don't need to use the old table cabinet anymore, in addition, Fan Xiangguo is coming in the morning, saying that there is something important to announce, and I hope that Li Yushi will gather all the people from Yushitai as soon as possible."

Qin Hui's last request made Li Yanqing a little big, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, everyone is more casual, many people may not come today, where can he find someone?

Qin Hui saw Li Yanqing's embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "Try your best!" Just don't be too ugly when Fan Xianggong comes over. ”

"I see!"

Li Yanqing walked quickly into the gate of the military prison, because the public office money had just been approved, Qin Hui had not had time to buy office supplies, the room was still the same as before, Li Yanqing sat down in his seat, Brother Qing hurriedly served him a cup of tea, Li Yanqing smiled at him: "You go to the Yushi Terrace, find Zheng Yushi and Zhang Yushi, and say that there is something here today." ”

Zheng Yushi and Zhang Yushi are Li Yanqing's two deputies, both of them are supervising the imperial history, at the end of the year, the imperial history platform was too busy, so they called them back again, the other five are currently only Mo Jun and Liu Fang in the official room, two are engaged in asking for leave to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors, and one is engaged in I don't know if I will come today?

Brother Ying rushed to the Yushitai to find someone, and at this time, Mo Jun came over and said with a smile: "I heard that Fan Xiangguo has an important announcement today. ”

"Yes! Master Qin also told me just now, I don't know what the matter is? ”

Mo Jun whispered: "I came early today, met Li Hui, and heard him say that yesterday afternoon the Son of Heaven asked about the military prison, and it turned out that the military prison had not yet started to operate, and the Son of Heaven was furious and summoned several Xiangguo to scold him, so many things were temporary decisions yesterday afternoon." ”

Li Yanqing snorted, "Every time it's like this, I don't get in a hurry until the end, and it's the same when the commander called the army when he went out on the expedition last time, if you don't force it, there will be no result." ”

Speaking of the army, Li Yanqing hurriedly asked, "Is there any news about the 1,000 army?" ”

"It seems that Li Hui didn't mention this matter, it is said that the six guards at the gate are still temporarily transferred from Menxia Province, not our official guards, I estimate that the army is enough."

Li Yanqing did not have much hope, things involving the army have never been fast, and besides, the military prison is an official office after all, and the army is not important.

........

An hour later, Fan Zhixu hurriedly walked into the gate of the military prison surrounded by several entourages, and it is also embarrassing to say that since the establishment of the military prison, Fan Zhixu is the second time to enter the gate of the military prison, the first time is established, and the second time is today.

Everyone was already waiting for his arrival in the hall on the first floor, but the officials were not complete, there were a total of twenty-four people in the three divisions, plus the main book, a total of twenty-five people, but in fact, only half of them came, but the main officials all came, including Li Yanqing of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Li Hui of the Privy Council, and Jiang Ying of the Military Department.

Fan Zhixu's expression was very serious, he didn't care about the incompleteness of the number, and said to everyone: "What happened yesterday must have been known by some officials, the official family is very angry that the military prison has not yet been operational, the cause is that ten days ago a military warehouse under the Zhending Mansion caught fire, the account book recorded that there should be 8,000 stone of military rations, but after extinguishing the fire, it was found that there was no official food in it at all, this matter was exposed, the imperial history platform has been reported to the official family, the official family was furious, and asked the military prison to immediately go to Hebei to thoroughly investigate the preparation for war, As a result, the military prison has not yet been operational, so Long Yan is furious! ”

Everyone looked at each other, could it be that the New Year was approaching, and they were going to start busy?

"I also know that the New Year is less than ten days away, but the official family requires the military prison to produce a monitoring report within a month, so everyone, I can only say sorry, I'm afraid this year will make it difficult for everyone."

"May I ask Fan Xianggong, do we all want to be with Hebei?" Lee asked back.

Fan Zhixu nodded, "The official family only gives one month, then your time is only twenty days, there are dozens of military warehouses under the two roads in Hebei, and it is too late for one person to go, so I plan to divide into three teams, Yushitai will go to check Zhending Mansion, the Privy Council will check the three prefectures of Bao, Ding, and Xiong, and the military department will go to check Hejian Mansion, and I will set off tomorrow morning, and I must come before the tenth day of the first month, and give Qin Zhubo ten days to sort out and write a report." ”

At this time, Li Yanqing asked: "What if you can go to monitor the need for troops?" ”

"I've already thought of this for you, the three divisions are not doing well, and the army will not be able to be transferred until later, I will ask you to transfer three silver medals from the Privy Council, and you can go to the states to transfer three hundred soldiers as your supervision army."

After speaking, Fan Zhixu glanced at everyone again and asked, "What else is the problem?" If there is no problem, go back and prepare! In addition, 5,000 yuan will be allocated for each team for the supervision fee, and Lord Qin Bo will hand over the silver medal and the meeting to you tomorrow morning. ”

Li Yanqing felt a big head, at this critical moment, he was going north to Zhending Mansion, and he only had one day left today.
