2-29 Mr. Qi
Well, I understand that people don't talk nonsense, I did it, may I ask which temple god Your Excellency is? Liu Ziguang instead let go of the handle of the knife and asked in a relaxed tone.
"It doesn't matter who the old man is, the important thing is that we are friends, I don't care if you take the things of the Queen Mother, whether you sell them to the people of the Song Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, I don't care. Last night, I saw you enter and leave the Lianfeng late at night, and Dongchang Fanzi was drunk and drowned in the Qinhuai River, and now I don't know about it, except for the old man and me. ”
"Then aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Liu Ziguang put on a hideous face and was frightened.
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, it's definitely easy for General Liu under the city of Megatron to kill the old man, but you won't kill it, because I will bring you benefits, benefits you didn't expect." The middle-aged man was calm and calm, and took out a folding fan and fanned it twice.
Hmph, I'm not afraid what you're going to do with your weapon, when I can't see that the fan is steel-boned. Liu Ziguang has confidence in his heart, he is afraid of me, he begs me, he is bribing me.
"Tell me, what kind of benefits?" Liu Ziguang wanted to know what chips the middle-aged man had in his hands.
"It's been handed over to Miss Peng just now, Miss Peng, you can take it out and give it to General Liu to enjoy." The middle-aged man made a gesture of please.
Peng Jingrong took out an official document full of seals and showed it to Liu Ziguang. "This is the approval document that the Ministry of War owes us one million taels of silver, and with this, we can go to the Ministry of Household to receive the silver tomorrow."
"Zheng Yuanwailang, who was corrupt and bent the law and accepted bribes, has been dismissed and investigated, and is now lying in the edict prison of Nanzhen Fusi to suffer hardships, and Zheng Baihu, who went to Lianfeng to trouble you, has also been dismissed; Also, in the case of the troublemaker, the victim has not been investigated; This is also a gift from the old man. The middle-aged man said with a smile.
took the approval document and looked at it, the white paper, black letters and red seals, it should be true, the sincerity given by this middle-aged man is really enough, he can investigate and deal with the members of the military department, and the Jinyi Wei hundred households are dismissed, and the energy is quite powerful! Liu Ziguang returned the approval document to Peng Jingrong, "Say, what do you need me to do?" ”
"Not for the time being, but I think we can become allies, what the emperor gave you, we can also give it to you." The middle-aged man said.
It's so powerful, I even know about the secret agreement between me and the little emperor. It's so pervasive!
"That'...... Can you also promote me as a general soldier? Liu Ziguang decided to cheat him.
"The total army is too small, with General Liu's strength, it is at least a commander."
Sure enough, I was fooled, I said, there was no third person present when I talked about this with Zhu Youxiao at that time. It seems that he didn't know that the price given to me by the emperor was the general of the rebellion against the country and the minister of the imperial guard of the Forbidden Road in the inner court, and he only allowed me a commander, no matter what aspect he is, at least there is no malice at present, this ally, I did.
"Since Mr. is so sincere, then Liu is willing to form an alliance with you, I don't know what kind of people you are, now that everyone is a family, at least I can reveal a little." Liu Ziguang said.
"Hehe, the old man's surname is Qi, you can call me Mr. Qi, as for the people above me, I can't disclose it yet, I hope you two will forgive me. I will contact you in the future, if you have any things, you can go to this courtyard to leave a book for that mute old family, remember to write the book credit rice soup. Mr. Qi said.
Ciphertext letter, it seems that he is from the old public security, Liu Ziguang couldn't help but look at him twice, his steps are solid, his bottom plate is steady, and he has a layer of calluses on his hands, he is a practitioner.
"It's getting late, I won't leave the two of you, the carriage is ready, please come with me." Mr. Qi led the way in front and sent them out.
Peng Jingrong got into a carriage rented by an ordinary carriage and horse dealership, and Mr. Qi whispered to Liu Ziguang: "General Liu, the old man didn't say in front of Miss Peng just now that you had a charming female doll when you came back in the early morning. ”
Liu Ziguang said that this guy is quite eye-catching, and this incident let the eldest lady know that it will definitely affect her glorious image, and arched her hand: "Thank you." ”
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "What if I don't help you?" ”
Mr. Qi smiled sadly: "I believe that General Liu is not a person who does not believe in his word, and besides, since we can invite the eldest lady to come for the first time, we can also invite other people to come, all the people around the general..."
So I am, and they threatened me with those close to me. Liu Ziguang nodded to show that he understood, brought his horse over, flew on the horse, said goodbye to Mr. Qi, and the carriage also started.
Mr. Qi waved goodbye in the back, "Goodbye, General Liu, besides, eating too many eggs will affect your health, not twenty, three or four are enough." ”
Liu Ziguang trembled slightly, good guy, even I know that I eat twenty eggs in the morning, this intelligence work is really done, no wonder it is so arrogant.
As soon as I walked out of Beixin Street, a group of people came over, divided into two ways and came along the root of the wall, and the weapons were all smeared with pot ash and did not reflect. He was also dressed in black, and it turned out that Duncan had brought someone over to support.
Liu Ziguang hurriedly greeted him, met in two, divided more than a dozen people to protect the carriage, left two behind the palace, and sent two pathfinders in front of him, and went back on guard.
It turned out that Ding Libin couldn't enter the city, so he was in a hurry, and there happened to be a carriage that didn't know which high-ranking official was going to enter the city, and after the carriage entered, the city gate was about to be closed again. Duncan immediately summoned his men over, but he was still a little slower, and the matter here had been settled peacefully.
The young man was very clever and good, and the brothers were quick to respond, and they were all rewarded.
Liu Ziguang personally led the team to send the eldest lady back to the Gongfu, agreed on tomorrow's plan of action, and then returned to the Lian Feng to rest.
Back to the Lian Feng, go into the room to wash his face and change clothes, just stepped into the room, he couldn't help but be stunned, the doors and windows were closed before leaving, but now there are a bunch of tatters on the desk, and someone has entered the room! It's not good, first check the calligraphy and painting treasures under the bed, fortunately, there is no one missing, breathe a sigh of relief, and then look at the tattered on the table.
Two door gods, Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong, a stove prince, a restaurant hanging "Mo credit" slippery, the corners of the door god painting are still a little broken, it seems to be taken down from whose door, the stove prince is even more smoky for some years, only "Mo credit" is still new. In addition, there are children's rattles, several Huishan Dafu, thimbles, and thread balls. What is this? Liu Ziguang was confused.
"Duncan!" Called Duncan, who was in charge of security, in, and pointed to the things on the table and asked, "Who put these things in?" I told you to guard the room and not let anyone in or out, how did you keep it closed? ”
Duncan was also puzzled, "I left two people at the door before I took people to New North Street, this is the inner courtyard of the Lianfeng, and the outside is surrounded by high walls and fierce dogs, and ordinary people can't enter at all." ”
Could it be the inner ghost who reported that I had eaten twenty eggs? No, there is no point in such a thing. Could it be her?
"Duncan, from now on, you have to pay attention to everyone around you, we have internal ghosts here."
"General, what kind of person is an inner ghost?" Duncan touched his curly short hair, and a dark face was full of incomprehension.
"It's just that you don't pay attention to things, and you're always watching what other people are doing, especially those who have nothing to do with the general, and the person who collects my information is the inner ghost, and also, you go outside the courtyard in person at night to check if anyone is watching us in a nearby house."
"Yes!" Duncan bowed and went out.
These rags may have been sent by Sanhua, who thought I liked these "calligraphy and paintings" and gadgets. It's really a cute cat, and it's a courtesy to go back and ask the kitchen to prepare two sea bass to hang on the window.
Early the next morning, Liu Ziguang and the eldest lady met at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, there are two things to do today, the most important thing is to go to the household department to bring out a million taels of silver, the last thing is to go to see Addison, and collect this treasure talent, these things are dealt with, the matter of the Jingshi is over, and the stolen silver of the calligraphy and painting treasures is divided in half with the little emperor, after all, people have also issued intelligence.
The affairs of the household department are very smooth, Mr. Qi's strength should not be underestimated, and the small officials of the household department who are responsible for distributing the money have repeatedly asked them whether they want silver tickets or cash, or convert them into gold? Nonsense, dozens of tons of silver have to use how many carriages to pull, of course, it is the best to be light and safe, all to silver tickets, to say that the financial system of the Ming Dynasty is strange enough, silver is the standard currency, copper money and gold as auxiliary, the exchange rate is subject to change at any time, basically one or two gold for twenty taels of silver, one or two silver for a thousand copper coins, and the silver ticket is equivalent to paper money that can be cashed in cash anytime and anywhere, playing a role in speeding up the flow and promoting economic development, The silver bills issued by the Anhui Rishengchang ticket number are the strongest means of circulation and payment, and the status of this ticket number is simply equivalent to the country's central bank.
A thick stack of large-face silver tickets was dipped in saliva by Ding Libin, a young man in the bookkeeper, and counted several times, packed in a cowhide bag and hugged on his chest and went out of the yamen, twenty guards all wore soft armor, wore steel knives at their waists, carried a wheel spring gun in their arms, and hid a Zhuge crossbow in the bag behind their backs, one million taels of silver was not trivial, enough to arouse the interest of any bandit.
The group left the household as if they had left the grand prize winner of the sports lottery center, because there were things lost in the palace, and groups of officers and soldiers on the street were patrolling and searching; Jinyiwei and the fans of Dongchang are not idle, there are eyeliners and spies everywhere; In the past, the gangsters on the streets of Hengjie were gone, and the atmosphere in the capital was very tense.
First escorted a huge amount of money to the palace of the princess, which is safer than the Lianfeng, and after dealing with the silver ticket, the news from the Song Dynasty mission arrived, because the mission was suddenly full of spies around the station. The transaction could not be carried out normally, so it was decided to avoid the limelight and make an appointment to trade in another location.
Liu Ziguang took 100,000 taels of silver tickets, left the guards around the Guogong Mansion to guard, and only took Ding Libin and an entourage, and the two rode to Addison's house outside the Jubao Gate.
Jubao Gate is the south gate of the capital, it is also the largest and most majestic one among the thirteen city gates, there are three urn cities, four arches, there is the inner Qinhuai River in the door, there is the outer Qinhuai River outside the door, the city gate is facing a small hill, it is called Jubao Mountain, it is also called Yuhuatai. Addison's family lived in Xiaosigu Lane between the Waiqinhuai River and Yuhuatai.
Asking all the way, the neighbors heard that they were looking for the strange Ai Cong, and they all enthusiastically pointed the way, and smoothly came to a small courtyard in Chaimen, and was about to knock on the door, when they heard a menacing voice inside: "The surname is Ai, you have borrowed three hundred taels of silver for a month, and even Bendaili is a total of three thousand taels, and you want to send the brothers when you take a few hundred taels out, where can you let me go to reason?" ”
Liu Ziguang's brows furrowed, there are big ear holes everywhere, the loan sharks in the capital are courageous, and they dare to increase their principal and interest tenfold in a month, and they don't know how to calculate it. ”
