After pondering for a long time, Tian Ergeng didn't sort out a clue, didn't sigh softly, turned his gaze to the side of Fengqiu, and said in a deep voice: "In addition to these, do you have any other news?" ”

Feng Qiu shook his head: "Lord Hui, no, I sent everyone under my command to the lowly position, but unfortunately there is no receipt!" ”

"There you go!" Tian Ergeng waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "For the sake of you inquiring about a little news, this time I will deduct your money for one year." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info After going back, continue to work hard, find Liang Zhongkun, and avenge the brothers! ”

"Thank you, don't worry, don't worry, don't fight for this life, but also avenge your brothers!" Feng Qiu gritted his teeth, this time he was really unwilling, he lost several lives in a daze, and he had never suffered such a big loss.

Waving his hand at Fengqiu, Tian Ergeng didn't say anything, but turned around, walked to the window again, and slowly opened the window.

The people who watched the excitement below had dispersed, and the prisoner car had passed, and there was nothing to watch.

"My lord, the people sent out have returned, and the bodies of our people have been found, but Liang Zhongkun has not been found, and Lord Hu Jin is leading people to search over there." A hundred households of Jinyi came behind Tian Ergeng and said in a deep voice.

Waving his hand, Tian Ergeng turned his back and said: "Okay, let the people under him do it, move quickly, don't make any mistakes!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, it's all arranged!" Baihu nodded, bowed and retreated.

Tian Ergeng's eyes fell on a shop across the street, that was his target this time, on the surface, it was a silk village, but in fact, it was selling Fushou cream, and Uncle Yuan's concubine bought Fushou paste here.

At this moment, Uncle Yuan's family is doing a funeral, and there is some chaos, and it is still very easy to secretly miss something, and it is not difficult for Jinyiwei at all.

secretly followed all the subordinates who entered and exited Uncle Yuan's mansion, and found that only the maid of one of Uncle Yuan's concubines entered and exited the silk village opposite. In Jinyiwei's investigation, this satin village is one of the sales points of Fushou cream.

This time, in order to catch the concubine's maid, I found Uncle Yuan's concubine by the way. There is no physical evidence, and at this time, Tian Ergeng can't directly touch the inside of Uncle Guo's mansion, which is too taboo.

The second is to follow the vine to touch the melon, to see if you can find the boss behind the Fushou cream, after so many days of observation by Jinyiwei, the goods of other Fushou paste sales points are all from the opposite side of this silk village, there will definitely be big fish here. Standing at the window with his hands behind his back, although Tian Ergeng was expressionless, his eyes were firmly fixed on the silk village opposite, and it was not this time.

I saw a maid walk into the store, and a large team of brocade guards appeared behind her, and they followed directly into the store.

The leader is the hundred households who have just been behind Tian Ergeng, whose name is Hu Xun, who can be regarded as Tian Ergeng's henchmen and right-hand men.

As soon as he walked into the store, Hu Xun frowned, and said loudly: "Jinyi Wei is doing things, and the idle people are all out!" As he spoke, he beckoned to the guy: "Go, call your boss and shopkeeper, we have something to ask!" ”

There are really a lot of people in the shop, and it seems that the business of this shop is not bad, but I don't know if I came to buy silk or Fushou ointment.

The shopkeeper was stunned, why did Jinyiwei come to the door? The heart is a suddenness, has it been discovered? But I saw that Jinyiwei didn't do it directly, and the person headed by him was still looking for the shopkeeper, who came to fight the autumn wind? With a roll of his eyes, he hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute, the little one will go to the shopkeeper!" ”

As soon as the people in the store saw this posture, they immediately walked out, since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, not to mention the most unreasonable Jinyi Wei among officials.

The little maid in Uncle Yuan's mansion naturally turned around and left, but when she walked out, Hu Xun gave a look to the two people beside her: "Go, catch it back, don't alarm too many people, Uncle Ben will be a groom again tonight!" ”

Although Hu Xun didn't speak loudly, the store was so big, and the people in the store naturally heard it.

Some people looked at Hu Xun in disbelief, some people ran faster, and of course some glanced at the little girl sympathetically.

The little maid saw that the two brocade guards came to her side, and her face suddenly changed greatly, and he naturally heard what Hu Xun had just said, and hurriedly said, "Do you know who I am?" I'm from Uncle Guo's Mansion, you can't arrest me! ”

"Uncle Guo's Mansion?" Hu Xun showed a trace of jealousy on his face, raised his eyebrows, and then said: "It's okay, let's cook raw rice tonight, and tomorrow Lord Ben will go to the Uncle Mansion to propose marriage, and marry you Ming Media, don't get in the way, don't get in the way, I want to come to the Uncle Mansion, I will be willing to be close to this official!" ”

Seeing this scene, the people around immediately whispered, and the little maid was shocked, turned around and wanted to run out.

But how could she pass the Jinyi guard next to her quickly, only to see one of them stretch out his hand and directly hit the little maid at the back of the neck, and the little maid fainted directly, and was beaten by the two captains of the Jinyi guard, and walked out outside.

Hu Xun looked at this scene with satisfaction, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and slapped the table suddenly: "What about people? Where did the boss go, he didn't come out yet, didn't he look for death, believe it or not, I sealed your shop? ”

"Yo, my lord, I don't know where this store offended the adult, and please bear with me!" A middle-aged man in his forties walked in from outside, arched his hand to Hu Xun with a smile on his face, and came directly to Hu Xun's side: "Nonsense, why don't you serve tea to adults, how do you do things?" ”

"Okay, don't say polite words, are you the shopkeeper or the owner of this store?" Hu Xun looked at this middle-aged man, with a bit of scrutiny and distrust in his eyes.

In fact, Hu Xun has long known that this guy is from this store, and it is not a day that he has been watching them for a day, every time he comes to deliver goods and move silver, he is the boss on the surface. It's just that Hu Xun can't be sure now, whether he is really the behind-the-scenes boss of Fushou Cream, or if he only takes the goods from others.

The matter of Fushou Paste was explained by the emperor, and Tian Ergeng was very cautious, not only wanting to catch people, but also wanting to find out the warehouse where they stored Fushou Cream.

Once the warehouse was found, Tian Ergeng was ready to come to a pot end and completely handle this errand beautifully. Now that the emperor is in such a bad mood, he can show this merit, and his position in front of the emperor will be more stable.

"Little Tian Xuedong is the owner of a small shop, we are all small businesses, how can we afford to hire a shopkeeper!"

Standing up, he gently patted Tian Xuedong's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I came here to discuss a big deal with the boss, is there a quiet place here, let us have a good talk?" ”

"Yes, yes, my lord, please come here!" Tian Xuedong had a smile on his face and made a gesture of please.

Hu Xun walked in front with an arrogant face, and under the guidance of Tian Xuedong, he came to the private room at the back. After entering the room, Tian Xuedong looked around and found that the environment was not bad, nodded and said, "Boss Tian is not bad here!" ”

"Thank you, my lord, for the compliment, the place that is usually used to entertain guests, I hope the adults will not dislike it!" Tian Xuedong had a smile on his face and bowed: "If there is anything that neglects the adult, I hope the adult will bear with me!" ”

"Alright, you're welcome!" Hu Xun waved his hand and went straight to the point: "What am I here for today, I think you know it!" ”

Tian Xuedong was stunned for a moment, a blank flash flashed on his face, and he said with a little embarrassment: "Please teach me!" ”

Turning his head and glancing at Tian Xuedong, Hu Xun deepened his vigilance in his heart, this Tian Xuedong is a veteran, it seems that it is not easy to deal with! Suddenly said with a little impatience: "Why else, of course, for the sake of Fushou Cream, do you think it is for your few rags?" ”

"It turns out that the adults are here for the blessing of longevity!" Tian Xuedong smiled, nodded and said, "Please show me!" ”

Now the imperial court has not banned the sale of Fushou cream, and the reason why it is not sold openly is just because the amount is not so large, and it can only be sold when doing other businesses. As soon as Tian Xuedong heard that Hu Xun was coming for this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Not to mention the people of Jinyiwei, the ministers of the court, and the relatives of the emperor, there are not a few people who come to buy Fushou ointment, and it is definitely in short supply.

"I want this number, and I'll be ready in three days!" Hu Xun stretched out his hand, directly gestured to a five, and clapped his hands as he spoke, and a brocade guard walked in outside, holding a small wooden box in his arms.

After the captain of the Jinyi Guard put the box on the table, Hu Xun directly opened the lid of the box, and inside was a neat stack of gold ingots.

"This is five hundred taels of gold, which is considered the deposit for this transaction, and the others will be paid with one hand and delivered with one hand!" Hu Xun patted the gold in the box as he spoke: "All of them are gold ingots of full color, and they are exchanged for gold, you can use them with confidence!" ”

Tian Xuedong was stunned, it was actually a foreign exchange of gold? Because it is gold, it is said to be exchangeable for gold, but it should actually be exchanged for silver.

The exchange of silver is relative to the official bank, which is used for storage. That is, the tax revenue of each province. The words or pattern of the official silver logo must be engraved. It is convenient for the treasury management.

The main purpose of the official bank is military salaries, official salaries, palace use, local construction, disaster relief and other expenditures.

After the official silver is spent to various localities and individuals, the units or individuals who obtain the official silver must dissolve the official silver again to refine new silver ingots or silver nuggets, which is the main source of broken silver. This is also a noun derived --- "fire consumption". Refers to the depletion of broken silver when it is melted and recast into silver ingots, or when silver ingots are melted into broken silver.

In Emperor Chongzhen's new policy, there was a fire consumption returned to the public, and now fire consumption has become the main corruption method for officials and officers.

Currency silver is relative to official silver, it is the silver that has been melted and recast from the official silver, and it can be exchanged wherever it goes, and it is the silver that has been removed from the fire. Generally, when the government buys things, they use official money, and merchants dare not accept them.

If the merchant wants to use it, he also needs to go to the government to recast, and the fire consumption part will be deducted by the government. Moreover, many officials are more ruthless, and their fire consumption is very high, and the merchants can only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

What Hu Xun brought was exchange gold, not to mention the ease of use, but also allowed Tian Xuedong to make a lot of money.

"Five catties, this gold is enough!" Tian Xuedong knew that it was impossible for Hu Xun to ask for five catties, but he said so deliberately.

Glancing at Tian Xuedong, Hu Xun slapped the table and said loudly: "Boss Tian, what's the matter with you?" Look down on me, don't you? Five catties, I want fifty catties, prepare it for me within three days, don't delay my affairs, otherwise you won't open this store! ”

"To tell you the truth, no matter which one is behind you, if this matter is messed up, it's useless, the people we Jinyiwei want to clean up, there is no one who can't clean up!" Hu Xun looked furious and said to Tian Xuedong.

"Adults are angry, adults are angry!" Tian Xuedong hurriedly said: "Fifty catties is not a small amount, and a small one will not be able to raise it for a while!" ”

Hu Xun waved his hand: "I don't care about the rest, I only have three days, fifty catties of Fushou ointment, no less, if it is a little less, this official is asking for you!" After finishing speaking, Hu Xun pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his waist and slashed it at the stool.

Huang Huali's stool was hard enough, but it was still split in half by Hu Xun's knife: "If you can't do it, then try if our Jinyiwei's knife is fast enough!" After speaking, he returned the knife to the sheath, bought and strode out, and never looked at Tian Xuedong again.

took people out of the silk village in an uproar, and Hu Xun was afraid of revealing his horse's feet, so he took people back to Beizhen Fusi directly.

Tian Ergeng stood on the second floor, looked at Hu Jin behind him, and asked in a deep voice, "Can the people in the back pick it up?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we are all good at arranging, there is absolutely no problem, if you go out of a few tens of meters, you will change someone, and you will definitely not be recognized!" Hu Jin nodded, and assured with great confidence: "I will definitely be able to find out who is behind this Tian Xuedong!" ”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Tian Ergeng said directly: "Yes, this matter will be handed over to you, you must bring back the five hundred taels of gold to the governor, which was borrowed by the governor." If you can't get it back, the governor will pay the debt!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will be able to get both the stolen goods!" Hu Jin stood up straight and said loudly.

Walking to Hu Jin's side, Tian Ergeng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Do a good job, this governor is going to take a look at the little maid in the uncle's mansion, hoping to find out something, but if you can't find out, this governor doesn't dare to go to see the emperor!" ”

Hu Jin was silent, and he didn't think about how to take this question down, as if it was not appropriate to say anything.

Tian Ergeng didn't care, smiled lightly, and took people back to Beizhen Fusi. (To be continued.) )
