"Two hundred taels?" Lord Han Hee-jae said in surprise when he saw Lord Seo Hyun's fingers raised.

"Two thousand taels!" Lord Seo Hyun looked proud.

"Silver?" Lord Han continued to ask Seo Hyun.

"Gold, of course! Lord Han, aren't you just a day? Seo Hyun looked surprised.

"Are you saying that you want Your Majesty to take out two thousand taels of gold to Xu Jin, the guy who has been preparing to conquer our Datang?" Han Xizai looked confused.

Li Yu was at a loss, and there was only one thought in his heart, Lord Xu Xuan was afraid that he was not a fool.

"Xu Aiqing, do you mean to let me take out such a large sum of money to Xu Jin? Are you my person or Xu Jin's person? Li Yu asked.

"Your Majesty, bribery can't be too little." Seo Hyun said.

"Then do you think Xu Jin will be bought by these two thousand taels?" Li Yu asked.

"He has a grudge against Datang, probably not." Seo Hyun said.

"So I'm going to throw two thousand taels of water and do something meaningless?" Li Yu said.

"Lord Xu, who did you listen to to to to the fool that you want the official family to take so much money out?" Han Hee-jae asked Seo Hyun with big bags under his eyes.

Xu Xuan was sweating profusely, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I persuaded Lord Xu to say something." Outside, a woman floated in.

It's none other than the eldest princess Li Lianqiao.

"I think it's a good idea." Li Lianqiao looked at Han Xizai.

"That's not a small amount." Li Yu said.

"Twenty taels, and one more letter." Li Lianqiao looked at Li Yu.

"Oh?" Li Yu probably understood what Li Forsythia wanted to do.

This is the first snow in Bianliang City,

A starling with a black body landed by the window of Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin.

It was none other than Li Lianqiao's messenger.

Zhao Guangyi looked left and right, and there was no one else.

Gently untie the bird's foot, take out the paper roll inside, look at it, and then nod frequently.

"Someone is coming, ......" Zhao Guangyi called his subordinates to prepare horses.

At the court meeting the next day, Zhang Ji, an official, impeached Xu Jin for accepting bribes from the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"The bribery of the Jiangnan Lord?" Zhao Kuangyin smiled, "If it's a bribe from Jingnan or Hunan, maybe it's possible, Xu Jin is the old enemy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his parents were killed by the Southern Tang Dynasty, can he collect the enemy's money?" ”

"There is a letter from Jiangnan Kingdom, which seems to have been written by Xu Xuan to Xu Jin, and he is called a virtuous nephew." Zhang Ji said.

Zhang Dejun took the letter to Zhao Kuangyin.

"What does this mean?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhang Ji.

"Official, if the minister didn't guess wrong, Xu Yongzhi and Xu Xuan should be related, he was sent by the Southern Tang Dynasty to break into the Great Song Dynasty." Zhang Ji said.

"This stupid hat," Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhang Ji and thought to himself.

Zhao Kuangyin knew that Xu Yongzhi was not surnamed Xu at all.

Zhang Ji is the kind of guy who is full of hostility, simple-minded, and will go online when he encounters problems.

Sometimes it is necessary to have such a person to whitewash the peace, but to build a peaceful and prosperous world, this kind of person must not listen to his words.

"Zhang Ji, this is a very serious accusation, do you have evidence?" Zhao Pu looked at Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji is simple-minded, it is true, Zhao Pu often encourages him to go to others, but this time it really has nothing to do with himself.

"Your Majesty, please look!" Zhang Ji took out a piece of twenty taels of garlic strips from his sleeve.

Lord Wang Pu frowned, a piece of gold, what can it mean?

"This is the gold used by Xu Jin's wife Duan when she recently purchased madder on a large scale, look at this payment, it is the stamp of Jinling Qianzhuang, if Xu Jin didn't take the money of the lord of Jiangnan, how could he have such a gold bar?"

Lord Wang Pu smiled, "Zhang Ji, I don't think this matter is true, Xu Jin's Shanzitang is a pharmacy with a national joint number, and there are a lot of money exchanges, and he has to subsidize the military from time to time, saying that he takes bribes, in the old man's opinion, it is really too much." ”

Lord Wang Pu leaves room for speech, not saying that you are a bad person or a fool, saying that you are too worried.

"Lord Wang Pu," Zhang Ji glared at him, "Do you want to use your life to protect Xu Jin?" ”

Lord Wang Pu was also a little vague, listening to the words, Zhang Ji seemed to have grasped some great handle.

"Official," Lord Wang Pu turned to Zhao Kuangyin, "Please bring Xu Jin over and ask carefully, and you will know the truth." ”

"Xuan Xu Jin, and his wife Duan come in." Zhao Kuangyin said.

Xu Jin is preparing for the war, so he doesn't need to attend the court meeting, and he will be called if he has something.

Zhang Dejun trotted and hurried to the military camp in front of the palace.

"Oh my brother! Who are you provoking again? As soon as Zhang Dejun saw Xu Yongzhi, he complained bitterly.

"What's wrong?"

"Zhang Ji visited you, saying that you received money from Nantang......"

"I'll go after I change into my official uniform."

Half an hour later, Xu Yongzhi and Duan Meimei both arrived outside the hall, both civil and military were in the palace, waiting for these two people, and everyone secretly scolded Zhang Ji for being troublesome.

"The minister Xu Jin sees the official family."

"Concubine Duan, see the official family."

"Yongzhi, brother and sister, get up." Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand.

It's so affectionate, it looks like it's okay.

Zhang Dejun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yushi Zhang Ji has a little question about you, and if you want to ask you in front of everyone, you can answer truthfully." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Do you recognize this gold?" Zhang Ji asked.

"There is so much gold in the world, how can I recognize it all?" Xu Yong's face was confused.

Lord Fan Zhen laughed, this answer was so funny.

"Father-in-law Zhang took the gold bar over and showed it to Duan's and Master Xu, and looked at the stamp payment, he should have some impression."

Zhang Ji's face was pale.

"Okay Xu Jin, others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of the powerful Zhang Ji, but I am not afraid of you." Zhang Ji secretly accumulated.

Duan Meimei looked at the gold and nodded to Xu Yongzhi.

"This gold was paid by my family, and it was bought in large quantities of madder." Duan Meimei said.

"Where does this gold come from?" Zhang Ji asked.

"I said, from my house!" Duan Meimei said.

Everyone couldn't help but smile.

"Think about it yourself, don't provoke people casually, I tell you Duan Meimei, if you offend too many people, there will be trouble." Zhang Ji said.

"Can I understand this as a threat?" Duan Meimei asked Zhang Ji.

"Is this money Lord Xu's money? Or did someone give it to you? Zhang Ji asked.

"You have to take care of it!" Duan Meimei went back directly.

At this time, Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, spoke slowly, as soon as he spoke, Xu Yongzhi should have known Zhang Ji's instigator, but if he didn't speak, Zhang Ji couldn't ask.

"Brother and sister," Zhao Guangyi thought, since the official family called it so, he should not be polite, and hurry up to rub a relative first.

"Zhang Ji is also an official of the imperial court, and the questioning is also ordered, you still have to make it clear, so as not to let Yongzhi's brother be wronged......" Zhao Guangyi said.

Duan Meimei couldn't scold Zhao Guangyi, so she answered the question: "It's not her husband's money, it's another source." ”

"Was it someone else?" Zhang Ji asked.

"Yes......" As soon as Duan Meimei said a word, Zhang Ji hurriedly interrupted: "Official! ”

The officials were in an uproar.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned, he was not so easy to fool, Zhang Ji's intervention was a means of planting.

"I'll talk about this matter...... Xu Yongzhi wanted to say it all.

"I'm going to listen to your lady first!" Zhang Ji interrupted Xu Yongzhi, "Madam, is it a gift from an elder surnamed Xu?" ”

Duan Meimei thought to herself, only those few people knew about the gold left by her father-in-law, how did Zhang Ji know?

"Yes, but ......" Duan Meimei wanted to say something.

"Look!" Zhang Ji shouted, "The case has been solved!" ”

The officials who were not familiar with Xu Yongzhi were a little surprised.

Duan Meimei was about to confess, Xu Yongzhi gently pressed her hand.

"Master Zhang, this gold is not an elder surnamed Xu, it was left to me by my father." Xu Yongzhi hurriedly made the most important sentence clear, and the more vague Zhang Ji said, the more suspicious he became.

Zhang Ji was elated: "See, Xu Xuan is his father!" He confessed! ”

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't stand it anymore and slapped the table.

Zhang Ji trembled and knelt down.

"Zhang Ji, why are you so confused?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhang Ji, "The letter is written about the virtuous nephew, how can it be his father?" You give me an honest kneeling! ”

Zhang Ji went down honestly.

"Yongzhi, tell me the origin of this gold." Zhao Kuangyin said.

Xu Jin told him about returning to Linquan Town, digging the cellar of the old mansion, and discovering the hidden gold.

"This money was left by my father, and there is nothing wrong with the ministers using it." Xu Yongzhi concluded.

"What evidence do you have?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

"If you go back to the prince, Xiaguan's wife Duan, his brother-in-law Duan Zishou, and his junior sister Chen Xiaohuan can all testify." Xu Yongzhi said.

"But these people are all your people!" Zhao Guangyi pursed his lips.

"On this point, Xia Guan has nothing to say, go deep into the enemy territory and look for confidential and urgent things, it is unlikely that I will invite His Royal Highness King Jin to go with me, it is too dangerous." Xu Yongzhi said.

This sounds sarcastic to Zhao Guangyi.

"You tell me, what to do when you buy so much madder, your Shanzitang uses more than 100 times the annual amount!" Zhao Guangyi couldn't bear it anymore, this word had been said, and everyone knew that he was participating in Xu Jin.

"It's used to make dyes." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Dye what?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

"Dye the armor." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Red dye, used to dye armor?"

Zhao Guangyi was secretly taken aback.

"You want to dye the soldiers and horses of your headquarters with different color armor, do you have the heart of rebellion?" Zhang Ji opened his mouth and came.

It's too much.

Duan Meimei couldn't bear it anymore and said: "The official family, the concubine brought evidence from home, and I hope to show it." ”

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand at Zhang Dejun.

Two small chamberlains brought in a set of Song cavalry armor.

Dazzling red, almost like fire.

The helmet is a bit special, there is no helmet gun, but there is a big mark in front, which is an iron "Song" character.

"Lord Zhang, is this the armor of the rebels?" Duan Meimei questioned Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji was speechless for a moment.

Careless, passive!

"Yongyuki, why did you change the color of your armor?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

"This matter was reported to the official family, and it was also approved by the official family, and the idea of the lower officials is to form the strongest elite soldiers, who will always be at the forefront of my Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses."

"Red armor, you can't run away...... Zhao Guangyi muttered.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, it's good that we defeat the enemy, why run away?" Xu Yongzhi said.

Zhao Pu felt creepy, on the one hand, he felt that Xu Yongzhi was indeed loyal to the official family, and on the other hand, he felt that in this loyalty, there was a determination to die, and this state made him feel creepy.

"Yongzhi," Zhao Kuangyin said, pointing to the armor, "put it on, let me see it!" ”
