The next few days are the days when Cui Yiqi and Guo Ye cooperate seamlessly. One was responsible for pounding the silver from Qinghe's own house, and the other was responsible for transferring the silver in batches to a safe place for hoarding. The two worked together so well that it's not an exaggeration to call it a honeymoon period.

Cui Yiqi used Guo Ye's forged house deed, land deed, and even found antique calligraphy and paintings copied by someone to fill up the number, and it only took 20 days to deceive at least 5 million taels of silver from Qinghe's own family.

Throwing away the 1.5 million taels subscribed by Guo Ye, there is only 3 million taels short of the negotiated price of 9.5 million taels.

Cui Yiqi opened his bow and did not look back, he was ruthless in his heart, and continued to use the forged house deed and land deed to pound the silver from his own family, and he would never stop until he made up enough 9.5 million taels.

His continuous transfer of silver from his family to Yangzhou in batches naturally caused an uproar in the Qinghe family, and even the head of the family, Cui Heling, was shocked.

Of course, because Cui Yiqi had a good reputation in the family before, and he had repeatedly made achievements after he was in charge of the silver horn in Yangzhou, no one doubted him, let alone thought that he would be bold and even dare to say anything about his family's silver.

On the contrary, Qinghe's family is very satisfied with Cui Yiqi's recent "impressive" in Yangzhou, not only praised, but also greatly improved his authority. This also directly or indirectly helped Cui Yiqi to damage the public and private interests, and provided convenience for him to move silver from his family to Yangzhou.

Everything has a reason, Cui Heling and even the entire Qinghe Cui clan are too eager to succeed, and they are too eager to see the achievements of Changle Fang Daqian Zhuang today.

They always wanted to take advantage of the success of the Yangzhou silver model, and then copy it to Huaiyang and the Jiangnan area, and then continue to develop all the way to the south, swallowing the entire silver business in the south.

All kinds of coincidences have provided a lot of convenience for Guo Ye's bureau within a bureau.

There are five days left until the January settlement date.

Cui Yiqi was suspicious for the embankment, and in order to prevent the last-minute failure, Guo Ye could only continue to live in the "Wu Mansion", playing the role of Wu Maocai, a merchant in Qianzhou in Shuzhong.

On the afternoon of this day, Guo Ye sent someone to summon Zhang Jiujin to the backyard of Wu's mansion, where he was lying on an old-fashioned bamboo and rattan recliner, squeaking and shaking with his feet crossed, listening to Zhang Jiujin's report on the recent transfer of silver from Yangzhou Yinhao.

Cui Yiqi was cautious, and in order to prevent Qinghe's family from suspecting the whereabouts of the silver, he did not dare to hoard a large amount of silver in the silver number, so he had to move to another place.

This place was temporarily rented by Cui Yijun at the ferry terminal, and it was an abandoned granary used to store the goods of passing ships.

And Zhang Jiujin and Wang Bajin were the people in charge of Guo Ye who were assigned to the granary to guard this huge amount of money, and the two of them brought a total of 100 people to squat at the granary.

Of course, Cui Yiqi did not trust "Wu Maocai" 100%, and at the same time sent more than a dozen henchmen to guard over there.

After listening to Zhang Jiujin's report on the situation of silver hoarding in the granary, Guo Ye slowly sat up from the recliner and asked, "So, in the past 20 days, Cui Yiqi has already transferred a small six million silver from his family?" If you add the 1,500,000 taels of silver I deposited, it will be 7,500,000 taels less. ”

Zhang Jiujin responded: "That's right, my lord, you haven't been to the granary these days, if you go there to see it, you will be shocked." Good fellow, piles of silver are everywhere, and ingots are stacked as high as a hill. To tell the truth, it's the first time I've seen so much silver in my life, and the Cui family is really rich! ”

Guo Ye listened to Zhang Jiujin's exclamation, and couldn't help but be depressed in his heart, is this silver originally our salt tax in Yangzhou?

Immediately, he also sighed: "Don't talk about you, even the first time I've seen so much cash in my life." Well, there are still 2 million taels left to make up 9.5 million taels. The more cautious it is at the last moment, the more cautious it is, and you must not show your feet so that Cui Yiqi can find the clue. Nine catties, convey this sentence to eight catties, and other brothers. Did you hear me clearly? ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the brothers are all pretending to be in trouble, and they will definitely be cautious. But adults, small ones have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Zhang Jiujin hesitated, but still didn't directly say what he wanted to say.

Guo Ye looked at his hypocrisy, and couldn't help but say, "What do you dare not say to me?" Talk, but it doesn't hurt to talk. ”

Zhang Jiujin snorted and said in a low voice: "My lord, Cui Yiqi has transferred to the granary of the wharf, and there are also six million taels." The salt tax that we were robbed by the Cui family in Qinghe is only five million taels, so if we calculate it inside and out, we still have a lot to earn. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, why don't we close the Internet now? ”

Closing the net?

Guo Ye understood what Zhang Jiujin meant, although he was also worried that a sudden accident would fall short, but there were still five days left, and Cui Yiqi would be able to transfer the remaining two million taels of silver to the position.

If the net is suddenly closed at this time, is it a little panicked?

Immediately, Guo Ye shook his head, vetoed Zhang Jiujin's proposal, and said with a smile: "No, things have come to this juncture, and you can't give up halfway." Nine catties, two million taels of snowflake silver, can't it be so cheap for nothing. Moreover, in order to make up the salt tax in time, we borrowed millions of taels of silver from Changle Fang Daqian Zhuang, which are all interest-based. We can't afford to work in vain, can we? No, we can't stop at this time. Wait another five days, and after five days, the net will be completely closed! ”

Zhang Jiujin saw that Guo Ye was so resolute, so he put away the idea of persuading him again, but he still made another proposal and said: "My lord, in order to prevent any accidents from happening in the end, so that the bamboo basket is empty, and it is also for the sake of insurance, why don't we secretly transfer the silver in the granary to the reeds of the Salt Gang first, how about it?" ”

When Guo Ye heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "This is an old opinion, feasible." But there are guys sent by Cui Yiqi staring at the granary, how can they transfer the silver out of thin air? And if Cui Yijun comes to the granary to inspect the silver in these five days, how will it end? Forget it! ”

Zhang Jiujin laughed twice and said with a smile: "My lord, isn't the guy he sent easy to fool?" Just drink with them at night and you can get them drunk. As for Cui Yijue, don't worry about it. Let's replace the peach stiff and steal the beams and change the pillars, isn't the most lacking thing by the riverside stones? ”

Guo Ye asked suspiciously: "How to make a Li Dai Tao stiff and steal the beam for the pillar?" ”

Zhang Jiujin said: "First use a sack to pack the stones, and then put them at the bottom." The top sack is filled with real money. Cui Yiqi really wants to come to the granary to check, he can't just put the top one and not check it, but check the sacks at the bottom below, right? In this way, can't you steal all the silver and change it out without realizing it? ”

"Huh?"

Guo Ye's face was overjoyed, and he gave Zhang Jiujin a thumbs up and praised: "Jiujin, your IQ is rising now?" I'm getting better at using my brain to do things, yes, yes, I'm making a lot of progress! Okay, I think you can do it! ”

"Thank you, sir, for your appreciation!"

Zhang Jiujin was a little proud, raised his head coquettishly, and said happily: "My lord, then I'll go back and discuss with Bajin, and start acting tonight!" ”

Guo Ye hummed, nodded, and was about to open his mouth to say yes, when suddenly a person trotted in, his steps were heavy and the rhythm was hasty, and he kept shouting: "Adult, adult, something is wrong!" ”

Guo Ye and Zhang Jiujin looked back and saw that it was Wang Bajin, who was in charge of his duties in the granary.

As soon as Wang Bajin arrived, he was still panting, and Guo Ye asked with some displeasure: "Bajin, didn't you let people stare at the granary?" ”

"Don't mention it, sir!"

After Wang Bajin took a few breaths, he complained depressedly: "You don't know that Cui Yiqi, a thief fox, actually sent his henchman surnamed Hu to the granary. Guess what the old thing with the surname Hu said? He said that their owner was not worried about this, and he always felt that something would happen, so he sent him to watch the granary for the next five days. ”

"I'm grass!"

Guo Ye naturally knows the style of the shopkeeper Hu, and he is more cautious than Cui Yiqi, this is a cunning and cunning old fox.

After he scolded his mother, he looked at Zhang Jiujin and smiled bitterly: "Jiujin, see it?" Cui Yijun is not worried about the granary. It seems that your method of Li Dai Tao stiff and stealing beams to change pillars is to stop cooking. Moreover, if this surnamed Hu is really squatting at the granary, the delivery in five days will really be in suspense! ”

Zhang Jiujin scratched the back of his head, and after some urgency, he suddenly said: "My lord, I have a way to deal with this old thing surnamed Hu." I just don't know if it's feasible or not! ”

Guo Ye couldn't help but sigh that the master is in the world, today's Zhang Jiujin is really IQ rising, and he has frequent countermeasures.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Regardless of whether it is feasible or not, tell me your method and listen to it, and then I will make a decision." ”
