Chapter 35 The Oil and Salt Shop II

Entering the room, the shopkeeper's face immediately changed, he looked at Cheng Ming coldly, grabbed the envelope, took out the letter and glanced at it briefly, and then directly turned his hand to ignite it on the ever-bright lamp, and burned it directly to ashes.

"You've broken the rules, I don't accept faces here." The shopkeeper said coldly.

Cheng Ming smiled: "Don't treat me as me, just treat me as the person who writes the letter." In this way, you will not be disciplined, and you can make a lot of money. I believe that whoever the shopkeeper can't get along with, he won't get along with the silver, don't you say? ”

The shopkeeper looked at him coldly, and after a while, he said, "What do you want?" ”

"An official position, it's better to have a little real power!" Cheng Ming said directly.

"Jingguan or Waifang?"

"It's best not to be too far away from the capital, just have a place."

The shopkeeper sneered: "Want a prefect? You can't afford it. Besides, there is no good opportunity now, at most you can pick a few county officials. ”

Cheng Ming was not dissatisfied, and said, "Is Wanping County okay?" ”

The shopkeeper was a little surprised: "Wanping County is a place that is angry, and there is not much oil and water, although it is in charge of half of Beijing, but when you go out and meet a dog, it is bigger than the county official." There is also a commotion of honorable nobles and nobles for three or five hours, and there are at least 300 days a year when there is no stability, what do you want this place to do? Spending money on gas? ”

Cheng Ming smiled and said, "You don't care about this, just say if you can handle it." ”

The shopkeeper touched his chin, looked embarrassed, and said in a deep voice: "You have to add money!" ”

"It's not a problem, how much do you want?"

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, no matter what, you have to double it, 100,000 taels of silver."

Cheng Ming nodded without hesitation, "No problem!" ”

The shopkeeper showed a few smiles on his face, and his attitude suddenly eased a little, and said: "According to the rules, you have to pay a deposit of 20,000 taels first, and the rest of the money can be paid later." ”

Cheng Ming turned around and pushed the door and left, "At this time tomorrow, 20,000 taels of silver!" ”

The shopkeeper followed behind enthusiastically and smiled.

The young man watched the strange white-haired man leave slowly, and the second uncle who slammed the door smiled like a flower on his face, and sent him off with courtesy.

The young man's eyes were full of suspicion, "I didn't buy anything, and I was so enthusiastic, could it be that the second uncle suddenly became generous?" ”

The shopkeeper turned around and came back, in a very good mood.

The young man walked up, stretched out his hand and said, "Second uncle, give me some money!" ”

The shopkeeper bluffed his face and said, "What do you want money for!" ”

"I'm not full, go out and buy a roast chicken!"

The shopkeeper's brows stood up, and he gritted his teeth and scolded while beating: "You still dare to buy roast chicken? I look like roast chicken! When you're full, there's nothing to do, with me this teasing shell, I have to make you a roast chicken! ”

As soon as he said that, he slapped the young man's head, and he was whipped around, running as he blocked, and screaming in his mouth.

The shopkeeper chased after him, and the uncle and nephew made a mess.

---

"One hundred thousand taels of silver! Mere trifle! ”

Cheng Ming didn't feel any pressure in his heart, but after rolling his eyes twice, he found a way to get money.

Silver is the currency in circulation, and if you don't have it in your own hands, others have it.

I will work hard tonight to help them circulate, so as to save the major families from casting any worries in the silver treasury, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Let them be freed.

Cheng Ming took out a copper coin from his arms, and was able to give it to someone who asked for food, he was in a good mood, and praised silently: I am really a good person.

For a whole day, Cheng Ming was not idle, went out of the East City, entered the West City, visited the South City, and slipped to the North City.

When he walked to the busy street, he would also stop to join in the excitement, see a quiet teahouse, and would also go in to sit, occasionally passing by exquisite restaurants, and he would not be stingy to taste.

At the end of the day, I turned around the large and small alleys on the ground in the capital, tasted all kinds of snacks, gave alms to a beggar, listened to a book in the teahouse, and gambled with a group of idlers.

By the time night fell, Cheng Ming had already locked on to the target.

Guanglan Gate, Wanping County Ya.

The vermilion lacquer gate is closed, and two lanterns are hung outside the door, with the words "Wanping County" written on them.

Cheng Ming walked slowly from the mouth of the alley, looking relaxed, with a pipe in his mouth, he didn't deliberately inhale and exhale, but the wisps of smoke continued to gather in the air, and it became a large piece in a short time.

"Go!"

With Cheng Ming's low shout, the smoke clouds moved with the sound, as if the threads were drawn from the threads, and countless thin threads poured into the county office, shaking and scattering to explore all directions.

【Circle】

An invisible ripple rippled out, spreading little by little to the entire Wanping County Yamen.

Cheng Ming's delicate induction, waiting quietly, after a while, a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

On tiptoe, the whole person rose lightly to the sky, fell silently to the roof, and then like a gust of wind, blew to the backyard of the county government, which was the location of the treasury.

This is the important place of the county government, the candles are bright, and there are seven or eight officials in two classes inside and outside, patrolling back and forth, and the guard is strict.

Cheng Ming smiled, opened his mouth and spit out a puff of white smoke, which quickly condensed into a white cat.

As soon as he sent it with both hands, the white cat smashed directly on a patrol officer.

Angry meow, the official sat on the ground, and his hands subconsciously pinched the cat.

There was a sudden noise, and all the officials became nervous and shouted, "What kind of person? ”

Before the official sitting on the ground came to his senses, the white cat scratched angrily, and his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't help but scream to let go.

Then the white cat rushed to the corner of the wall, ran over the wall and disappeared.

Several officials ran over and shouted, "What's wrong?" ”

The official sitting on the ground covered his face and got up, scolding: "Unlucky." Where did a wild cat come out, next time I let Lao Tzu see it, I have to peel it off! ”

A few officials couldn't help but laugh when they saw his big flower face in the firelight.

"Okay, boy, just now you said that you were going to Yihong Courtyard to find a sister to meet Hong, this time it will save trouble, and you will see Hong!"

The crowd laughed.

Attention was attracted to that side, and no one noticed that the door of the treasury disappeared mysteriously for a moment.

Putting away the blank card, Cheng Ming raised his hand to exchange for a torch.

The light of the fire danced, illuminating the surroundings.

The treasury is not small, more than 200 square meters, one side is full of boxes, the other side is a mountain of grain bags, and there are some bows and crossbows and other things in the back.

It was closed on all sides, without any windows, and there was a hidden vent on the top, Cheng Ming looked at it twice and stopped paying attention.

Walked to the side and opened a box, and a silver reflection pierced his eyes.

Cheng Ming subconsciously glanced at his head, and said in a slurped voice: "Hey, it's really a lot!" ”

Cheng Ming didn't bother to count, a card popped up in his hand, shook it slightly, and a large number of boxes disappeared directly!

The corners of his mouth lifted a slight arc, and a card popped out of his fingers, and the invisible vortex flashed away, and the whole person disappeared.
