Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru thought that Li Guo had sent them money, so they happily followed Zhao Youbin to see Li Guo. But as soon as he entered the house, he saw Li Guo sitting on the big chair in the room, and saw that they did not get up.

Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru were a little unhappy. Originally, when the decree was announced during the day, Li Guo did not show up, saying that he was injured. It's okay, many people here are injured and can't receive the will, but with Jiang Chang and Quan Zhihuan receiving the will on their behalf, it is enough, after all, it is too troublesome to pay attention to things.

But now it seems that Li Guo is very energetic and doesn't seem to be hurt, so it seems a little inappropriate not to receive the order and thank you.

"Sit." Li Guo didn't mean to get up, and he was very casual with the two of them, as if he was greeting his subordinates.

Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru looked at the silver, and their hearts suddenly became broad-minded, and they didn't pay attention to Li Guo's unreasonableness, but listened to Li Guo's words and sat down.

Li Guo stretched out a slap: "Lord Shoufu wants 50,000 taels?" ”

Zhang Yiqing was stunned, after all, it was a little embarrassing to say these things directly, and no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't bear it.

Zhou Suru relied on the support of his younger brother Shoufu Zhou Yanru, and was promoted from a gangster in the market to a thousand households in Jinyiwei, so he didn't care, and when he heard Li Guo ask, he said, "Actually, this money is not what Lord Shoufu wants, Lord Shoufu just cherishes your ability and helps you get through the joints." But you don't have to pay for it, 50,000 taels of silver to buy a general soldier, a governor, plus a few deputy chief soldiers and a prefect, which is very cheap! ”

"It's not expensive! But where does the money come from? Li asked.

"Money?" Zhou Suru laughed loudly: "It seems that you really haven't been an official of the imperial court." The wool is out of the sheep, and when you become an official in the future, add a few donations. Wouldn't it be all back if you reimburse more for your fire consumption? Besides, it's not that you are left alone to take the silver, who is the official who takes how much silver, what are you panicking about? ”

Li Guo shook his head, "I can't help but panic, if I give you 50,000 taels of silver, I will inevitably deduct the military salary of my brothers." It's going to be a predator of the people here, but you know what? Because of this battle. How many people died? How much did you hurt? If I rob them of money and food, am I still human? ”

Zhou Suru suddenly changed color, "Since you don't want to take the silver, then what are you asking us to do so late?" ”

Li Guo sneered, "Of course I want to take the silver, but I just want to take the silver from you." And the holy decree said, "Didn't he give a reward of five thousand taels of silver?" What about the silver? Bring! ”

Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru were stunned, when they left Beijing, they had already withdrawn the five thousand taels from the household department, but they didn't take it, and the silver was acquiesced by the first assistant, and it was their errand fee.

Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru were furious, got up and threw their sleeves and wanted to leave, but they were stopped.

One of them lost his left hand. One lost his left eye. The one who has no left hand has a waist knife in his right hand, and the one who has no left eye has a mace in his hand! They stared at Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru viciously, as long as the two of them dared to step out of the room for half a step. I want the lives of the two of them!

Although Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru are very hard in the background, although they are flying and domineering, in the face of these fierce and vicious people, the two of them tremble!

Li Guo ordered loudly, "Come on, tie up these two dogs and send them to the three-sided yamen." They pretended to be ministers and took the opportunity to extort money. Must be a liar. I think that the Governor Hong Chengchou and the Supervisor Lu Jiuming have also been deceived by them! Didn't the three sides send a general, let's send them all back! ”

"Bold! We. Zhou Suru just shouted, and suddenly found that the one-eyed eye was on fire, and he had already raised his mace, and immediately didn't dare to say anything more, and was obediently taken down with Zhang Yiqing.

Wang Shen, who came from three sides, accompanied Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru, and he made a small fortune, two hundred taels of silver. Although General Wang is a general, he is an official of the Qingshui Yamen, and he has no oil and water, and he is already very satisfied with two hundred taels of silver.

He was also called Li Guo there.

Li Guo then told him, "General Wang, the two people you accompanied to announce the decree are liars, and now I have tied them up and want to send them back to the three sides, so you can go back together." ”

"But they're not liars!" Wang Shen will answer.

"Not a liar? If it weren't for the liar, why didn't you see the reward of five thousand taels of silver mentioned in the holy decree, did you give a share in the three halves of the road? Li asked.

General Wang was startled, and hurriedly said, "No, I haven't seen the five thousand taels of silver they said from the beginning." ”

Li Guo nodded and ordered, "As long as you say this to the three sides, I will reward you with another three hundred taels of silver!" ”

General Wang couldn't stop nodding, accepted Li Guo's silver, and under the protection of Li Guo's soldiers, he returned to the three sides with Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru, who were tied up.

Of course, there were also Nie Xin and Zhao Youbin who went with them.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, and Lu Jiuming, the superintendent of the army, saw that Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru were tied up, and they jumped and hurriedly ordered someone to loosen them.

Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru came to their senses at this time, stood in the lobby on the three sides, and scolded Li Guo with their feet.

Hong Chengchou hurriedly appeased the two people and ordered them to be taken down to rest.

Hong Chengchou and Lu Jiuming already knew what had happened, and had already met with Nie Xin and Zhao Youbin first. Nie Xin and Zhao Youbin also generally did not hide it, and told them about the predicament of Hequ and Fugu one by one. Hong Chengchou and Lu Jiuming listened very attentively.

Waiting for Nie Xin and Zhao Youbin to go out, Hong Chengchou looked at Lu Jiuming with a smile, "What do you think of Lord Jianjun?" ”

Lu Jiuming looked back at Hong Chengchou and said, "Also, the officials on the other side of the river are also bolder, and even the Qin Cha dares to tie up." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded, "However, I think the river meander is probably really poor." ”

"Hmm!" Lu Jiuming agreed: "Why don't they want to send us charcoal this time?" ”

It is reported that the two counties of Fugu and Hequ suffered a lot of casualties in the battle of Hequ, and it is said that there are tens of thousands of dead people, and the cost must be a lot. Quan Zhihuan and Li Twelve, especially that Li Guo, must be busy now. Hong Chengchou said.

"No, this time we really want to help them, thinking about asking for more silver for them in the household, but we didn't get the only five thousand taels, and we made a fuss! Anyone will be angry! Lu Jiuming said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, Nine Elders (Hong Chengchou), that Zhou Yanru relied on the emperor's favor, and he was arrogant, even if he called us around, our family was dissatisfied." ”

"But Zhou Yanru is the first assistant after all, what should I do next?" Hong Chengchou hesitated.

"What is there to worry about, Ninth Elder, what are you afraid of, now the emperor regards you as a minister, although he Zhou Yanru is the first assistant, he doesn't dare to do anything to you."

"I'm not worried about me." Hong Chengchou sighed.

"Who's that?" Lu Jiuming asked.

"It's Fugu, it's Hequ, and that Li Guo!" Hong Chengchou pondered. (To be continued)
