Hearing that the silver was robbed, Li Xin was furious, what happened to the Hubu Shangshu, and he had to abide by the law of the Ming King. But he quickly calmed down, and with Lu Jiu's temperament, he would definitely not let the people of the household department snatch the silver, and there must be a hidden secret.

"Tell me about it!"

Lu Jiu sighed gloomily, he understood the courage and cheekiness of the civil officials of the imperial court today.

"The silver has been loaded since the inner house, who knew that just out of the inner service met the household Shangshu, with a stick of the subordinate servant surging over. If they rob by force, with the help of our brothers, they will definitely not let them take advantage. Who would have thought that the old man would take out an IOU as if he was playing tricks, and it was actually 300,000 taels of silver owed by the Inner Government to the household department. ”

Lu Jiu took a breath, and even he felt funny.

"Hey, Brother Thirteen, the Ming Dynasty is also incredible, the emperor owes money to his courtiers, doesn't it have to be a joke if it is spread out? The IOU brother also read it carefully, although he didn't know a few big characters, the bright red seal was not fake, and the secretary of the army also said that it was true. The brother can't let people snatch the silver with an IOU, Brother Thirteen, what do you say happened to the old man in the household? ”

"Don't sell it, say it quickly!" Li Xin was a little impatient, and the money was gone, and the plan he had designed before was probably going to be ruined.

The old man, dressed in a purple robe, didn't even care about his face, and lay down directly in front of his brother's horse, arguing that if his brother dared to pull the silver away, he would have to run over him. The old bones are old and the scum, and the brothers who watch it are terrified, in case one accidentally touches it, no one can afford this responsibility. ”

Lu Jiu sighed fiercely when he said this, "I really didn't expect that the dignified purple-robed official would also use the same tricks as the market splasher, and I really have a lot of insight today." ”

After listening to Lu Jiu's narration, Li Xin was still quite satisfied with his way of dealing with it, and the loss of the silver was a small matter, once he clashed with it and injured the head of the household, Li Shi asked the old man, the consequences would be unimaginable. When the time comes, he will inevitably become the target of all the courtiers and civil officials, not to mention that he wants to take away the 100,000 silver, but whether he can go to Datong to take up his post is a matter of two questions.

Once the ministers made a fuss, the emperor would definitely compromise with them and sacrifice himself in order to appease the anger of the people.

"You're doing the right thing, if you can't bear it, you're going to make a big plan!"

Through this matter, Li Xin couldn't help but look at Lu Jiu again, originally thought that he was just a brave general, but now it seems that he still has a big picture. Although Lu Jiu didn't ask the Li servant seriously, he was still indignant about this matter.

"We can't admit this dumb loss!"

Li Xin sneered: "Is our advantage so easy to take advantage of?" Let's go, order all the people and follow me to the household department to find Li Shi and settle the account! ”

When Lu Jiu heard that Li Xin was going to find the Li servant to ask for the station, his eyes suddenly became shiny, don't look at himself, he didn't dare to mess with the old scumbag of bad bones, with Li Xin behind him, he was immediately not afraid.

"Well, don't wait outside, you can go out at any time, just wait for thirteen orders!"

It turned out that Lu Jiu had long expected that Li Xin would not give up, and just waited for Li Xin's words to kill him again.

Li Xin out of the base factory, only to see the cavalry and horse team gathered in the open field, the original three hundred old brothers are now only more than 100 people, after that night of the battle, everyone was originally holding back a belly of fire, came back and suffered the anger of the civil officials, saw the thirteenth brother immediately excited, begging Li Xin to seek justice for them.

Li Xin was silent for a long time, if it wasn't for his own soft-heartedness for a while to hand them over to Jingying, but to take them with him, maybe the tragedy of that night would not have happened, he suddenly said sharply: "From now on, I, Li Xin, will never hand over the life and death of my brothers to others, let's live and die together!" ”

On the long street of Beijing, an iron whirlwind of cavalry and horses galloped past, attracting pedestrians to look sideways, and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division did not dare to approach and step forward at all, only to see that these fierce and vicious horses were all dressed in bloodstained iron armor, obviously on the border army who had just returned from the battlefield, they did not touch this moldy head, let Jinyiwei and Jingying go.

Jingying and Jinyiwei are naturally not fools, just look at the leading man in the green robe, who has entered and exited Donghua Gate several times in a few days, that is the emperor's new favorite minister, who will be bored at this moment?

Therefore, Li Xin and his 100 people drove directly outside the Chengtian Gate where the six departments were concentrated like a howling wind, and surrounded the households. The officials in the courtyard of the household department suddenly saw the fierce cavalry outside, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly closed the door and did not dare to let them in.

"What about the old thief? Call him out! ”

"Hurry up and return our silver, otherwise the brothers will demolish your Laoshzi household!"

It just so happened that Li Shiwen was not in the ministry, and after he robbed the silver, he went directly to the treasury, but he didn't have time to return. At this time, the biggest official on duty in the household department was Liu Minglangzhong, but he was only a five-grade official. Fortunately, Liu surnamed Langzhong was not small, and his psychological quality was good, so he immediately ordered someone to lift out the extra bolted door stakes to block the door to prevent the fierce gods and evil men outside from forcibly hitting the door. On the other side, he sent someone to quietly climb out of the backyard wall and went to the direction of the treasury to inform Li Shi not to go back to the household department.

After the arrangement was completed, Liu surnamed Langzhong and Li Xin and others delayed the time, while perfunctory, while saying that Lord Liu was tired and resting, and asked them to wait a while, which was a little later for half an hour.

Li Xin found that this was probably a delaying tactic by the people in the household department, so he picked a few brothers who were agile and agile, climbed straight into the wall, and opened the door from the inside. Most of the scribes inside were powerless, and they were no match for the horse thieves, but in a matter of moments, the door of the household was opened from the inside. The person in charge, surnamed Liu, was also dragged out.

I saw that his black gauze hat had gone, revealing a shiny black bun, and the blue official robe on his body had also been torn a few big holes, looking like a wolf, obviously being repaired while struggling.

Li Xin immediately stepped forward and repelled the soldiers who were twisting him.

"Pull and pull, what kind of system, don't you apologize to the adults soon!"

Several soldiers were not ambiguous, and after listening to Li Xin's words, they immediately apologized, so how could Liu surnamed Langzhong not see that Li Xin was pretending to be red-faced, and scolded coldly: "You are attacking the household yamen, this is a big crime, do you know?" If you don't do it, you'll lose your head! ”

"Don't scare people, did our thirteenth brother ask you? Talkative! ”

One of the soldiers who apologized just now immediately kicked the crook of the leg surnamed Liu, but unexpectedly, Langzhong was also really tough, and he just took this kick alive.

Li Xin repelled those soldiers again, and stepped forward to grab the Liu surnamed Langzhong. "They are all rough people, they don't understand the rules, and I hope the adults don't remember their mistakes." Liu surnamed Langzhong glared at Li Xin fiercely, disdainful of talking to him.

Li Xin was only unaware of his attitude, and said with a smile: "You Lord Li owe Ben Jiang 100,000 taels of silver, and Ben Jiang can't find others, so he has to come to the household department!" If Master Li is inside, please pass it on, if not, I won't bother anymore! ”

Only then did Lang Zhong surnamed Liu reply: "Lord Li left the household department early in the morning and didn't come back, please go elsewhere to find it!" Don't come to this important place in the court! This official will definitely go to the emperor to give you a copy of it, and you will wait to go to prison and lose your head......"

He wanted to curse a few more words, but he didn't expect to turn his head and see one of the scribes he had sent out to report to Li Shi. I saw the panic on his face, and when he saw the surname Liu, he shouted: "Lord Liu, save me!" ”

"Don't, don't fight, I say, I'll say anything!"

The scribe told the truth, and the angry Liu surnamed Langzhong scolded: "You boneless thing......"

Now that he has learned the whereabouts of Li Shiwen, there is no need to delay in the household department, because after a long time, he may cause some trouble. Li Xinchong gave up his hand to the Liu surnamed Langzhong.

"Offended! Wait for another day to make amends! ”

After speaking, Li Xin ignored Lang Zhong, who was still chattering and scolding, and the group rushed to the treasury in a mighty way, but in fact, it was only one street away from the household hall, which was very close. But Li Xin pounced again.

After some inquiry, someone actually came to send a letter to Li Shiwen first, and Li Shiwen didn't care about counting the treasury silver, and hurriedly left, seeing that it should be in the direction of going home. It's easy to do it when you have a direction, Lu Jiu took the soft-boned scribe hostage and ordered him to lead the way.

Li Shiwen's home is also located in the inner city, in the southeast of the inner city. The group turned onto Dongjiang Rice Lane, went straight east through Chongwenmenli Street, and went straight to Mingshifang Li Shiwen's house.

……

Zhu Youzhen, the son of the great tomorrow, is still in the Wenhua Hall day and night dealing with the movements that have been progressing into the capital from all over the country, the shape of the various places is not optimistic, and the heavy snow has not fallen a few times, I am afraid that next year's drought is a foregone conclusion, the only thing that makes him feel relieved is that the rebellion of the thieves has basically been quelled, and Xiong Wencan, recommended by Yang Sichang, still has some ability that surprises him.

Just half an hour ago. A eunuch from the East Factory came to report a strange thing to him. The money he had allocated to Li Xin from the Inner Government was robbed by the head of the household department with the IOU he had sent him last year in the name of collecting arrears.

It is said that this old man did not even care about his identity as an important minister of the imperial court, and lay down in front of the chariot and horse himself, arguing with him. Zhu Youzhen, who was listening, was nervous for a while, and Li Shi asked about the New Year's sixtieth, this old bone can't help but toss. Li Xin's subordinates are all reckless men who kill people without blinking, so what if they hurt him. When he heard that the leading junior colonel did not use force, but let Li Shi ask and take the silver away, Li Shi asked that there was not even a single hair missing, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially when he heard that the little school was Lu Jiu, who was suspected of rebellion the night before, he was very surprised, it seemed that Li Xin's subordinates were not only brave but also knew how to restrain themselves, so they couldn't help nodding secretly.

Zhu Youzhen was a little curious, Li Xin's subordinates were all outlaws, especially Li Xin was not good at stubble, he could bear this loss?
