A few days later, Zhao Zongji gave an answer, and the owner of the deep mansion compound was Zhao Zongchu, the eighth prince of Runan Palace. Zhao Zongji also told Chen Ke that this guy was the backstage of the former Sanssouci Cave, and after the beggar gang was exterminated quickly, Zhao Zongchu left home and lived in that house.

As for the reason, it should have been a secret. But who called the son of the prince of Runan to talk a lot, and several of his brothers scolded him on different occasions, saying that he had lost hundreds of thousands of family wealth......

"And according to reliable sources, he also secretly gathered the remnants of the beggar gang, trying to make a comeback and rebuild Sanssouci Cave." Zhao Zongji said to Chen Ke worriedly: "It is said that they issued a killing order in the rivers and lakes, and whoever takes your life will be rewarded with 50,000 yuan for helping outsiders, and helping insiders to be the new leader......"

"Damn," Chen Ke was quite calm before, but when he heard the news, he was dumbfounded: "Really fake?!" ”

"Absolutely." Zhao Zongji spread his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, my family also has some intelligence sources. ”

"I can't believe that I'm still a golden head." Chen Ke touched his chin and said, "It turns out that they are staring at me for this." ”

"You have to be careful." Zhao Zongji said with concern: "If it doesn't work, I'll go to the official family again and ask him to send guards again." ”

"No need." Chen Ke shook his head and said, "It was so easy for me to send away those hanging boot ghosts. ”

"Is safety important, or is self-reliance important?"

"Life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for self-reliance, both can be thrown away......"

"......" Zhao Zongji was speechless, and he said powerlessly for a while: "If you don't want to guard, don't go out before the Spring Festival, and when you get the Jinshi in the examination and have an official body, they won't dare to act rashly." ”

"Okay." Chen Ke casually agreed: "By the way, there is something I want to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"You know, why did I buy the house in Donkey Tail Lane?" Chen Ke said leisurely.

"Isn't it going to be a clubhouse?" Zhao Zongji said.

"Do you believe it?" Chen Ke stared at him and said.

"I don't believe it." Zhao Zongji smiled, with a hint of relief on his face. "I don't know how you chose that kind of place." ”

"Hmm." Chen Ke nodded, took out a rattan box from under the table and said, "I'm for this." ”

"What is this?" Zhao Zongji said curiously.

"Just look at it." Chen Ke said lightly.

Zhao Zongji lifted the lid of the box and saw a pile of brand-new banknotes.

In the original history, the popularization of paper money in the Song Dynasty was completed by Cai Jing a few decades later, and then extended for two Song and Jin Yuan. It has created the glorious history of paper money in ancient times. But in the present. Jiaozi, the predecessor of all paper money, was still limited to circulation in Shuzhong, outside Sichuan. People still mainly use gold and silver, and do not recognize this kind of banknote.

But that's just for the average person. In the eyes of the wealthy businessman in Beijing, Jiaozi has incomparable convenience and security. There is also the endorsement of the Eastern Capital Jiaozi Shop, so it has long been used in large business transactions. Although Zhao Zongji's family has no money to participate, he has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs run, so he knows very well that Jiaozi is equal to wealth......

Picking up a pile and flipping through it, Zhao Zongji's eyes widened and said, "How much does this cost?" ”

"500,000 guan." Chen Ke said softly.

"......" Zhao Zongji suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, and said after a while: "Could it be that this is the money that Zhao Zongchu lost?" ”

"Not bad." Chen Ke said indifferently: "This money was hidden by the big dragon head." I found it the day before yesterday. ”

"No wonder ......" Zhao Zongji said suddenly and in surprise: "How can the Runan Royal Mansion have so much money, and why is it in the hands of beggars?" "The clan of the Song Dynasty claimed to be idle and rich, and idleness is true, but wealth is not complete. Especially like the king of Runan County, who has more than 50 children and hundreds of grandchildren, he is still stretched thin on weekdays, and it is impossible to save such a huge amount of wealth.

Chen Ke shook his head and let him think for himself.

Don't think about it. Zhao Zongji also knew what was going on, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's really unbelievable that a dignified and noble man colluded with rats and bandits to do that thing that wasted money and killed him." ”

"Have you thought about it? Why do you have so much money," Chen Ke said quietly: "Runan Wangfu still has to live frugally? ”

The reason for the "......" is obvious. Zhao Zongji's face was difficult to look at.

"Think again, if they want to pretend to be frugal, why do they have to make so much money?" Chen Ke said in a deep voice: "After so many years, they will definitely not just save and not spend, so where do they spend it?" ”

"......" Zhao Zongji's face was even more ugly, obviously this money was either used to buy the minister's eunuchs, or to secretly store the eyeliner of the dead. It will not be a silent donation to out-of-school children......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a long time, Zhao Zongji slapped his palm and slapped it heavily on the table, Huo Ran got up and said, "With ill intentions, I'll go to tell the official!" ”

"How do you prove that this money belongs to the Runan Palace?" Chen Ke sneered: "It is said, or speculation? ”

"Yes," Zhao Zongji sat down and said, "It's not okay without evidence." ”

"Hmm." Chen Ke nodded and said: "I estimate that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have been bought a lot by them, and if you rashly complain, you will only burn yourself." ”

Zhao Zongji pursed his lips and stopped talking, but there was still anger on his face.

"I'm honest enough with you, right?" Chen Ke patted the rattan box and said coldly.

Zhao Zongji hadn't slowed down yet, and nodded blankly.

"Are you confessing to me?" Chen Ke said softly.

Zhao Zongji nodded again.

"Okay, can you tell me why you're angry?" Chen Ke said quietly: "I want to listen to the deepest answer to the heart, not those high-sounding." ”

Zhao Zongji was silent for a long time, and just when Chen Ke was about to give up hope, he finally burst out with two words: "Unwilling to ......"

Yes, unwillingly.

Although he pretended to be frenzied to escape, Zhao Zongji's inner demons never disappeared. It's so easy to walk in the world, why can some people be vigorous and earth-shattering, but they have to accept the fate of eating and waiting for death?

It's just that Zhao Zongshi has an absolute advantage, he has no chance of winning at all, and Zhao Zongshi himself is also in a situation of being suspicious and vigilant, so Zhao Zongji has to suppress his demons and dare not show the slightest thought......

But in front of his lifelong friend, Zhao Zongji didn't want to hide it anymore, and he confided in people for the first time: "I want to do a career, I don't want to die so silently......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chen Ke, Song Duanping and Wulang had discussed before how to dispose of this huge amount of money.

After a few days of careful consideration, Song Duanping took out his attitude: "I don't want any money. Over the years, thanks to you, I have also had a small fortune, and I don't have to worry about expenses. I have thought about it carefully, it is not good to have too much money, it will not only bring trouble to yourself, but also make your children and grandchildren become losers. ”

Gorou said: "We don't want it either, anyway, the third brother won't miss the ...... I spend."

Chen Ke finally understood, it turned out that they were frightened by this huge amount of money, and they couldn't help laughing.

"Besides, how did the money come from? It is the income of the people of Sanssouci Cave who deceive and dominate the market, force good people to become prostitutes, smuggle and abduct, and kill people and sell goods. Every article has a bloody stench, and we are so ignorant, I am afraid that we will be punished. After hesitating for a moment, Song Duanping said again: "How to dispose of this money, it's up to you to make an idea." He said in a rare seriousness: "I believe you will not let us down." ”

Gorou nodded as well.

"Since it's up to me." Chen Ke smiled: "Then I'll tell you what I think." ”

As soon as the two of them were over, Chen Ke said: "No matter what the source of money is, it is a stream of energy, and the more the quantity, the greater the energy." As he spoke, he patted the rattan box and said, "We now have unprecedented energy, and we can do a lot of things. ”

"What do you want to do?" Song Duanping asked.

"I've come here to leave something behind for this era." Chen Ke said softly: "Just let me use this money to do something that no one has ever done before......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What to do with this money?" Stirring up Zhao Zongji, Chen Ke brought the topic back again.

"Your money, you have the final say." Zhao Zongji has not lost his cool yet.

"Dedicated to the official family, ask for a verbal praise." Chen Ke said hesitantly: "Then wait for Zhao Yunrang to ascend the throne, and then cut me with a thousand knives." ”

"......" Zhao Zongji said softly: "If you don't give it up, what are you going to do?" ”

"It's up to you." Chen Ke said leisurely: "You know, what I have is money, and if you have fun, my own money is enough." So for me, the easiest way to do that is to set it on fire. It's a hundred, when nothing has happened. Scratching his head with a wry smile and said, "But it seems that after Zhao Yunrang ascended the throne, he still won't let me go." ”

"Why are you sure it's him?" Zhao Zongji lowered his voice and said: "The official family has just accepted ten beauties, who knows if they can give birth to a prince this time?" ”

"Before the relationship with the official family, did you pay off your desires?" Chen Ke said lightly: "He is destined to have no children in his life, and people can't resist their lives, even the emperor." ”

"If it was Zhao Zongshi, I wouldn't end well." Zhao Zongji smiled bitterly: "Over the years, he has hated me a lot. ”

"It's up to you now, if you can make up your mind, the money will be yours." Chen Ke patted the box and chuckled: "I think, you don't need others to tell you, how to spend this money, right?" ”

"......" Zhao Zongji looked at this box, of course he didn't need Chen Kejiao. But this is a point of no return, how do you make him say yes.

"Don't worry, you think about it carefully." Chen Ke smiled and said, "Anyway, take the box back, it's too unsafe to put it here for me." It wouldn't be nice if they found it......"—
