Chapter 548: The Middleman

"Huh!" Dong Ce smiled indifferently, took out a few gold coins and said, "Do you think you are qualified to compare financial resources with me?" ”

"Despicable!" Biyue sarcastically.

Baili Shuang's complexion is not good-looking, and in the face of absolute strength, all scheming is useless.

The so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, these children saw that the color of the coin in Dong Ce's hand was obviously wrong, it was brighter and golden than the copper coin, and their eyes were straight all of a sudden!

At this moment, a figure rushed out of the alley, and after seeing the people in the field, he immediately ran to Dong Ce's side and whispered, "Something happened!" ”

"What's the matter?" Dong Ce frowned.

"The White Lotus Sect has changed, and they have purchased a lot of fabrics, and the colors are mainly white, brown, and blue."

"Oh, looks like they've figured it out." Dong Ce smiled and said, "How many people are there in Gaoping Mansion?" ”

"There are only four hundred and six, the most in the three-color cloth village, ninety percent of the entire workshop are disciples of the Jiuliutang, nearly one hundred people, and the rest of the cloth village has about seventy or eighty people, and the rest are iron shops, embroidery workshops do short-term work."

After explaining, the disciple who reported the situation hurriedly said, "Hall Master Wu asked me to ask you, do you want to delay time?" ”

"No, there is no need to delay, but to rush to work day and night, and finish the clothes and flags they need ahead of schedule."

"Disciple understands." The disciple didn't ask why, he was only responsible for conveying the message, and he wouldn't waste time on words.

As soon as such a disciple left, Baili Shuang walked over with a smile and said, "Something happened!" ”

"Well, the White Lotus Sect is preparing to pretend to be the government guards of the three prefectures of Xuzhou." Dong Ce did not hide it.

Baili Shuang is so shrewd, he knew what the situation was when he heard it, and said with a slight smile: "It seems that they are also worried about the long nights and dreams, and your plan has failed!" ”

"Plans? What do I plan? Dong Ce asked rhetorically.

Baili Shuang was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Don't you want to delay time?" Give your paintings enough time to fan the people and denounce the White Lotus Sect, making it difficult for them to move an inch? ”

"It's what you think it's a plan, not me." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he thought about it, and sneered: "I think you are a little whimsical, just a few paintings, maybe it can indeed make people ruthless to the White Lotus Sect, but that is in Zhongzhou, not Xuzhou, not Jiangzhou, not Yuzhou, and when the news reaches these three places, the daylilies are cold." ”

After speaking, Dong Ce suddenly threw the money bag to Baili Shuang and said: "Play with the children, find something for them to do, don't give money too easily, it's over." ”

Baili Shuang was stunned, and then threw it to Biyue and said, "You can do it." ”

Biyue looked stupid, and then snorted coldly, but did not refuse.

Anyway, the money is not Shuangniang's, she also thinks these children are pitiful, since there are people, why not spend some time to help out.

Bailishuang looked at Dong Ce and said, "Hearing you say this, I really don't understand, what are you doing?" ”

"Nothing." Dong Ce walked towards the alley and said, "I'm just waiting for the other party to make a move, and then dismantle the move!" ”

Bailishuang was even more puzzled, caught up with Dong Ce and asked, "But why is the painting?" It's not like you're idle to do anything, is it? ”

"It's really useful, but it's not the other party's White Lotus Sect, but it makes the people of the court speechless, sometimes, the enemy in front of you may not be the real enemy, if you want to deal with me, you won't kill me, but you want to destroy the state religion, because you will only feel that I am a young man with no ability, and I rely on Yanjiao, and Yanjiao continues, and when I die, someone will take over, and I will die of a me, and there are thousands of me." In the last sentence, Dong Ce still spoke in Cantonese, and Bailishuang frowned when he heard it.

As shrewd as she is, she quickly figured out the twists and turns in this, Dong Ce's painting is just for self-preservation, or to break through the shackles, only if those people in the imperial court agree to deal with the White Lotus Sect, he can destroy this cult without restraint.

Otherwise, even if the White Lotus Sect perishes, he will be buried with him, and even implicate the entire state religion!

There is no other reason, the merit is high, this alone, you have to let the Queen Mother take precautions, as long as the Queen Mother is wary of him, he will not be far from death!

And this painting is sent over, which is to show that I do it or not, if the Queen Mother does not let these paintings be published, or even burns them directly, then Dong Ce will be powerless, retreat into the background, and do a good job of education, what White Lotus Sect, Taiping Dao, has nothing to do with him.

But the Queen Mother chose to announce it, just to let the ministers understand that it was not Dong Ce's idea, but her orders! She wants to destroy the White Lotus Sect and the orphans of Gaozu, who dares to oppose it, then stand up as soon as possible, cure you of the crime of colluding with the cult, and behead the public!

Xie Yi saw this most clearly, so he remained neutral and honestly acted as a bystander!

Baili Shuang, who guessed this, unconsciously followed Dong Ce back to the courtyard, and only came back to her senses when Dong Ce turned to look at her after Dong Ce entered the door.

"I have to do it, if you want to play, you can stay, if you don't want to, it's better not to know!"

"I'm so idle, what's the matter with play!" Bailishuang is telling the truth, she is too idle, and this kind of life is like suffering in hell for her.

"Okay, I'll tell you about the matter, there are a few positions for you to choose from." Saying that, Dong Ce sat down, boiling water and setting up the tea set, and said: "The people I installed in Luzhou should be about to break 10,000 now, half of them are arranged around you, and the person in charge is Zhong Xiaozhan of Xingtang, you haven't seen it, but you have seen his cousin Zhong Xiaoyi, the one you always thought was greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

Baili Shuang didn't get angry, but asked, "Do you want them to obey you?" You know, they're all members of the White Lotus Sect! ”

"It's true that they used to be members of the White Lotus Sect, and it was very difficult to subdue them, but this is what ordinary people think, and even the White Lotus Sect itself feels that they have no reason to betray because their home is here! But because home is here, they belong to me! ”

"Home? I still don't understand. Baili Shuang was still puzzled.

"You have no home since you were a child, so naturally you don't understand." Dong Ce's words made Baili Shuang very angry, but he suppressed Jing Listening.

"Speaking of which, why did they join the White Lotus Sect? It's not that life can't go on! ”

"So you bought it with money?" Bailishuang felt that this was indeed the solution, after all, Dong Ce had a lot of money, but this was also the most unreliable, but for money, he felt that if he informed He Qianchu about the infiltration of Yanjiao in Luzhou, he would get more rewards!

"It's money, but it's not given directly, do you know about the smuggling in Hebei in recent years?"

Baili Shuang thought for a while, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Dong Ce and said, "You let them sell the material to the people who were smuggled from Hebei!" ”

"That's right!" Dong Ce nodded and continued: "The entire lower reaches of the Yellow River, the government cannot control it all, at this time it depends on the people, but the government can't tell the people, at least, can't post notices, and also tell the people not to have fornication with the Taiping Taoists, otherwise the felony will be punished, but people die for money, and the people of Hebei don't care about life and death, and smuggle over to buy supplies with new dollars, so what are the people of Henan afraid of?" In order to ensure the success of the transaction, it is best to do business with acquaintances, first agree on the transaction amount, material, and then the time and place of the transaction, which must be determined before acting, otherwise you come with a bag of money, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to buy things, but are you afraid of being robbed? And I, just acting as a middleman, arranged their transactions and that's it! ”
