Chapter Ninety-Three: Gold

"Let's go back" Cao Ming finally realized the feeling of collapse, and decided to bury the past in her heart, but she still let Yudie dig it out.

At this time, the entrance of the Thorn Mansion was crowded with carriages, all of which were boxes, and some brave passers-by wanted to lean over to see, but they were driven away by the guards.

"Guess what's in there?" "I guess it's food!" "Your food is packed in boxes?" "I guess it's a bamboo slip!" "That's reliable!"

The people, every word you say and I say, are guessing that the contents of these boxes, the things that can enter the Assassin's Mansion, must be valuables.

Yang Heng stood at the gate of the mansion and personally commanded the handling of the boxes, and the people who carried them were all his henchmen.

Shangguan Qing took a brush and recorded on the bamboo slips, thinking that this was 200,000 catties of gold, and he must not make a mistake carelessly.

Due to the unprecedented scale of the excavation, and the amount of things obtained, at least for three or four years, Yuzhou and Yanzhou do not have to worry about military spending.

Cao Ming was relieving his mood in the pavilion, while Lai Yu stood aside with a bamboo slip and remembered the sale of funeral goods.

"You seem to have something on your mind?" Lai Yu read for a while, and found that Cao Ming and Ben didn't listen, so they could only put away the bamboo slips and read them to her later.

Cao Ming said the question in her heart: "Lai Yu, I want to ask one thing, if a man can have a child, are you willing to try?" ”

Cao Ming wants to get the answer from Lai Yu's mouth, after all, he has to solve the problem of future generations, and now there are two ways in front of him, the first way is to adopt a child in the future, and the second way is to give birth to himself.

Lai Yu thought for a while and said, "Your idea is indeed different, if I were asked to answer, I would give birth to a child for my wife!" ”

"Why? You're a man! Cao Ming didn't understand it very much, and it stands to reason that Lai Yu should think that he was crazy.

Lai Yu said with some sadness: "My mother unfortunately passed away when she gave birth to my younger brother, so I don't want my own woman to be like my mother." ”

"A good man of the Han Dynasty!" Cao Ming was moved by Lai Yu's words, if Yan Ying could really marry him, she would be very happy.

Lai Yu shook his head and said, "I'm far worse than a good man, I see that you seem to be in a good mood, let's continue to talk, shall we?" ”

"Okay, let's move on." Cao Ming felt that it was too early to think about it, no one knew what would happen in the future, and maybe she would have the opportunity to go back.

Lai Yu coughed lightly: "The funeral goods have all been sold, and they are converted into 250,000 catties of gold, and my profit is 20,000 catties of gold." ”

Cao Ming frowned and said, "No, it's too much to give you 20,000, at most 5,000 will give you!" ”

Lai Yu said the difficulty: "You also know that this is selling funeral goods, if you let the guests know, you will smash our signboard!" ”

Cao Ming thought to himself that he wanted too much, although he needed money to fight his subordinates, but he didn't need to ask for 20,000 gold, so he had to find a way to keep the price down.

In the end, Cao Ming gritted his teeth, took Lai Yu's hand and said, "Brother Yu, I know that you have always loved Ming'er, and Ming'er is in urgent need of gold now, can't you ask for less?" ”

Cao Ming thought that for the sake of so much gold, it was appropriate to sacrifice his hue, and he didn't believe that he could resist.

"Mother, please respect yourself!" Lai Yu wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that Cao Ming's strength was surprisingly strong, and he couldn't resist her no matter what.

"You really won't back down?" Cao Ming didn't expect this trick to work, it seems that he can only use nirvana to deal with him, and I believe that this trick will definitely work.

Lai Yu shook his head and said: "I have always had a clear distinction between public and private, although my mother and I are friends, but I also want to eat." ”

Lai Yu knew that this was close to the cost price, and in order to sell these things, he owed others a lot of favors.

Cao Ming took a deep breath and made a gesture to untie his clothes: "I can only give you five thousand gold, and the rest of the gold will be compensated by my nakedness, of course, it is your own business not to see, anyway, I will take it off." ”

"Don't! Five thousand is five thousand! Lai Yu's face was as red as an apple, he had seen many women since he was a child, and it was the first time he had seen a scoundrel to this point.

"You said it yourself, don't go back!" Cao Ming thought that the killing must have finally taken effect, if this kid can really continue to watch, he can only admit it once.

Lai Yu sighed and said: "I think this is also the last time we will work together, after all, this is a loss-making business, and I can't afford it in the long run." ”

Cao Ming proposed: "Or I will give Yan Ying to you as a daughter-in-law, so that we can kiss each other." ”

Lai Yu excused himself and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Yan Ying is a good girl, but unfortunately we have different personalities and it is difficult to get along with each other." ”

"It's true." Cao Ming also took this issue into account, because the two have too many different backgrounds, so their cognitions and concepts will be different, just like the contradiction between modern rural and urban people.

Lai Yu continued: "I heard Lord Shangguan say that you are going to transport the gold to the Chang'an Labor Army, and I am worried that the gold will be robbed by others, so I want to persuade you to dispel this idea." ”

Lai Yu was worried that once the gold left Yuzhou, it would be taken away by others, so that Cao Ming would be busy in vain.

The corners of Cao Ming's mouth lifted and said: "Most people think that I am dead, if I put the gold in the coffin and mix it in the funeral procession, do you think they will still be worried?" ”

Cao Ming thought to herself that no matter how bold these people were, they would not rob the queen's funeral procession, unless someone felt that they were strong enough to take on the princes alone, just like Yuan Shu, who was going to be the emperor in the future.

Lai Yu's eyes lit up and said: "Your method is good, if someone really dares to rob the gold, it will be equivalent to slapping the saint in the face and becoming the target of everyone's attack." ”

Although Lai Yu is a businessman, he still knows a lot about the affairs of the world, and now those generals are calm on the surface, but in fact they can't find a reason to fight.

Cao Ming thought that she was going to Beijing, and she always felt apprehensive in her heart, hoping that God would bless me and not let me lose my life.

In the afternoon, the warehouse of the Assassin's Mansion was already full of gold, and Shangguan Qing was leading people to check it to ensure that the number matched the record.

After the inspection, Shangguan Qing said to the steward beside him: "You go and take someone to load 50,000 catties of gold, all of which are loaded into the newly transported coffin, and if you can't fit it, put it in the carriage, and then find some funeral people." ”

"No!" The steward received the order to prepare, although Shangguan Qing's request was very strange, but he knew that he could just do it.

"What's going on?" Yang Heng came over with a few generals, and now that the army has been assembled, he will wait for the gold to be loaded and set off for Chang'an.

Shangguan Qing arched his hand and said: "The numbers are all matched, I will send someone to tell Niangniang tomorrow." ”

Yang Heng shook his sword and said, "To be honest, I always feel that this matter is inappropriate, there is not even a way back, it is really worrying." ”

Shangguan Qing agreed: "That's true, once there is a change in Chang'an, you have to change from outwitting to fighting." ”
