Chapter 52 The villain's confidant

Zero and zero, Li Huai scolded like crazy, and narrated at the same time. The whole person fell into an inexplicable excitement, and even disliked the clerk of the Shenwu Army next to him for copying too slowly, and snatched a brush to write hard, and his mouth also disclosed the ugly story of another official. Zhao Ming, who has this dual-purpose skill, is dumbfounded.

Ugly things kept being revealed, and Zhao Ming was secretly shocked when he heard it, I am afraid that this Xipingzhou is rotten to the roots, what a big Lou Zi he stabbed. According to Li Huai's confession, Xipingzhou has to be taken down from top to bottom! It's simply that Su San arrived in Hongdong County, and there were no good people.

Compared with the world, is there still a need to rescue this Da Zhao?

After talking back and forth for an hour and a half, Li Huai stopped pacing back and forth, still thinking freely, to see if he had missed someone. It wasn't until he was sure that he had left nothing to omission that Li Huai, who was excited and irritable, calmed down. Throwing away the brush in his hand, he seemed to see it, and said with a smile to Zhao Ming: "Your Royal Highness is a good means!" Grasp the accuracy of the mind like a demon! I have learned under it, and it is the blessing of Da Zhao to have six princes! ”

"Master Li is overrated. Ming is still immature, and there are many places to learn from Master Li. Zhao Ming returned the salute, and Zhao Ming, who got what he wanted, was very relaxed.

"If Li fully cooperates with His Royal Highness Six, can he save his life?"

"Hehe, what do you say? At most, it will make you die a happy death. ”

"It seems that Li will not escape death." Li Huai was not surprised by this answer, and did not mind.

"Well, you don't die Lord Zhang Zhao in the sky doesn't agree, Zhang Zhao's daughter Tangtang doesn't agree, and the most important thing is that I don't agree." Zhao Ming said seriously.

"Is Master Zhang still dead? He is indeed a good officer. I hope that Li's death can be exchanged for Lord Zhang's forgiveness. "Li Huai is now like a monk with an epiphany.

Zhao Ming was extremely disgusted to see: "Lord Zhang won't forgive you, you don't deserve it!" ”

"Your Highness Sixth, don't belittle your subordinates, what's the use of using your tongue in vain? I'm afraid that His Royal Highness is not a righteous gentleman's means to punish him like this. Li Huai scoffed.

"Well, that's right! So I don't need your forgiveness either. When I die, I hope that the tombstone will be engraved that I will not forgive the world that sent me, so I do not need the forgiveness of everyone in this world. Zhao Ming looked at the candlelight in the room, and his complicated expression flashed.

"It seems that His Highness is the same as Li in a certain aspect, and has a lot of common words." Li Huai nodded, as if he agreed with Zhao Ming's epitaph.

"That's why I understand Lord Li, so I can kill Lord Li's heart! Ha ha. ”

"Haha, what you said is wonderful, it's a confidant, you should be white."

Looking at the two of them laughing at each other, Feng Wu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. But she was silent, she didn't know how to express it, and stood next to her and hung her head silently.

After a while, Li Huai and Zhao Ming stopped laughing. Li Huai wisped a somewhat messy long beard, and said with some sighs: "I can't imagine that Li has worked hard, and the wealth accumulated in most of his life will be cheap to outsiders after all, so it is better to give it to the confidant of the Sixth Highness." However, Li Huai once walked in this world, inscribed with a golden pen, crossed the streets, scolded Fang Xuan, and was a big official. It's not a wasted life. ”

"Oh, that's thanks to Master Li for being affordable." Zhao Ming didn't think so, how much can this be, and he Zhao Ming has no place to use money.

He didn't expect that after returning to Beijing, this silver he couldn't look down on gave him a headache for how long!

At this time, Li Huai smiled mysteriously, approached Zhao Ming and whispered, "Your Highness, that's a million taels of silver." ”

Hiss! Zhao Ming and Feng Wu gasped. What is the concept of one million taels, which can supply the entire army of Shenwu for three months! In other words, Li Huai alone can feed more than 20,000 people in the Shenwu Army for three months! How much can the Shenwu Army do in three months and how much damage can it do?

Zhao Ming would never have thought that Li Huai would be able to embezzle so much money in his five-year career in Zhizhou, not counting the real things such as the title deeds that Li Huai was more interested in! Originally, he estimated that it was only two or three hundred thousand taels, and one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion in three years.

Zhao Ming really underestimated the methods of corrupt officials in ancient times! One million taels, converted into more than a billion in the next generation. Zhao Ming's savings in later generations have never been more than 100,000, and he can't think of the concept of more than 100,000 yuan.

Zhao Ming hurriedly straightened his expression and saluted: "Thank you Lord Li again, Ming is ashamed." ”

"Haha, it's a little ridiculous that His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness is condescending first and then respectful!" This time it was Li Huai's turn to smile happily, looking like a naughty elder who was playing tricks on his juniors.

"Money is a bastard, but without it you would be a bastard. Lord Lee, is it? Zhao Ming nodded to Li Huai, looking a little obscene. Looking at it made Feng Wu angry.

"Wonderful words, won my heart! It is a mistake not to give this million taels to His Highness. The more Li Huai laughed, the happier he became.

"I hope Lord Li will tell me." In front of the huge amount of silver, Zhao Ming didn't mind being low and small.

Half of them are buried under the house of Li's hometown, and the other half is in Lin'an City in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Entrusted to a nephew of the family. With this silver medal, you can use it at will. Li Huai took out a well-made silver medal from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ming.

"Nantang Lin'an?" Zhao Ming took the silver medal and thanked him again before asking, "With such a large amount, how did Master Li transfer it to the Southern Tang Dynasty?" I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the eyes of the border army, right? ”

"It's not clear how to transport it to Nantang. There was a cloth merchant surnamed Gong in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Every three months, Mr. Gong would send someone to withdraw the silver taels and issue a receipt. How to transport it away is Mr. Gong's business, as long as the ticket is collected, the rest will be ignored! ”

"Mr. Gong?" Zhao Ming was a little puzzled, "Why does Lord Li believe in this Mr. Gong so much." Such a large amount of silver taels? ”

"At first, I didn't believe in this Mr. Gong very much." Li Huai recalled the mysterious Mr. Gong, "Initially, Mr. Gong would leave the equivalent value of the goods before accepting the cash, and then send his nephew to the Southern Tang Dynasty to show the receipt left by Mr. Gong. Come and go, and let go of the next one. ”

"Can the entire Nantang Silver Village withdraw cash?" Zhao Ming asked in surprise.

"In sending different people to the silver village in different places in the Southern Tang Dynasty, they can indeed withdraw it, even if the silver in the silver village is insufficient for a while, and the silver will be transferred from other places in a few days. There have never been accidents. ”

"This Mr. Gong has so much energy!" You must know that the silver village in the Southern Tang Dynasty is not unified, and there are silver villages set up by various families in various places. Mr. Nagong was able to withdraw money all over the territory with the receipt of cheques issued by himself, which was basically the model of the general cheques in later generations. When you think about it, it's terrifying in that way. "I don't know what Lord Li knows about this Mr. Gong?"

"This Mr. Gong is very mysterious, and I don't know much about it. I also sent someone to check the details of this Mr. Gong, but I found nothing except that Mr. Gong was the largest cloth merchant in Lin'an City. The silver village side is all admitting votes and not recognizing people. ”

"These receipts are all hidden under the bed under the back house, and they will be given to His Highness." Li Huai stroked his long beard, so generous that he didn't like to speak.

"Thank you again Master Li for clarifying your doubts." Zhao Ming personally gave Li Huai a cup of tea before continuing. "Lord Li will have a good rest in the past few days, and after dealing with the affairs of Xiping and Yizhou, he will leave for Beijing, I am afraid that I will be tired. Zhao Ming lost his company. ”

"Your Highness is at your own convenience. Li survived for a few more days. Li Huai gave his hand to the guests, and his own Shenwu soldiers strictly guarded him.

It wasn't until he walked out of the room and made sure that Li Huai in the house couldn't hear their conversation that Feng Wu spoke: "Zhao Ming, what are you going to do with such a large sum of money, then Li Huai is folded in your hands, I'm afraid I am uneasy and kind!" ”

"Of course he's uneasy and kind!" Zhao Ming pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders and said, "This bastard is here to frame me." It sounds good. ”

"How did I frame you, is the land of silver a trap?" Feng Wu asked suspiciously.

"That's impossible. I can't go alone to get the money for such a large amount. Zhao Ming twisted his somewhat sleepy waist, "500,000 taels, I definitely can't hide it from the old man." Whether I turn it in or not. ”

"Hand it over, it's such a money. Who can endure the average person? If you don't hand it over, arrange for your henchmen to pick it up? But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and how difficult it is to hide from the old fox in Beijing. In case it is known by his father, haha, what are you going to do when you need such a large amount of silver? ”

"Vying for a seat? The competition for the throne of the prince with such a ruthless mind is not necessarily a good thing for the royal family. I'm afraid it's nice to cause Xiao Wall, what he wants is for me to kill my siblings. But he never expected that I didn't have the slightest intention of competing for the position. Haha, in vain. ”

"But the 500,000 taels in Nantang are a trap." Zhao Ming thought for a while before speaking.

"Could it be that Li Huai lied, this silver medal doesn't count?" Feng Wu tilted his head and asked.

"No, this silver medal should really be able to transfer money. As soon as the three-month period passed, Li Huai's accident could not be hidden. When the time comes, such a large sum of money, hehe, whoever goes will die! He wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that I would really go to Nantang to transfer money. Wrong! His 500,000 taels are delusional to save his life! As long as he Li Huai doesn't have an accident, this silver medal will be valid. Spend 500,000 taels to prolong your life? Interesting! ”

"Then what should I do, Zhao Ming, you should hand over the 500,000 taels." Feng Wu mentioned that the emperor in the capital naturally had a sense of awe, "As for the 500,000 taels in the Southern Tang Dynasty, we don't want it!" ”

"Of course I have to pay, and I don't lack money to spend, and by the way, I can calm the old man's anger." Zhao Ming said indifferently.

"But the other 500,000 taels are a bit of a pity." Zhao Ming remembered that the 500,000 taels in the Southern Tang Dynasty were a little painful.

"Forget it, take it one step at a time. The rations for the victims and the silver for reconstruction have not yet been settled. "The sky has turned white, and before you know it, the night has passed," and I will send people to summon the rich merchants of the counties, and I will have a banquet for them in Zaofu City in five days. It's still the same sentence, outdated and not waiting! If you don't come, you won't use it anymore! ”

"What are you doing with them? The smell of copper all over the body. Feng Wu asked puzzled.

"Are the victims counting on them?"

"They? Would it be so kind? If they were going to do the disaster, they would have done it a long time ago! ”

"Yes, they'll be kind this time." Zhao Ming's smile is very cheap, really cheap.
