Chapter 50: Conspiracy
The next day, Wang Jun loaded the money into the carriage, escorted by Zhao Yun and others, and came to the Mingde Hall of the Imperial City again, and found Steward Wan to settle the bill on the spot.
Steward Wan waved his orchid finger and chuckled: "Wang Gongzi is really trustworthy, and he came to pay the balance so soon." ”
Then he solemnly took out a holy decree from the box and slowly opened it, only to see that the appointment had been written on it and the seal had been stamped, but the name had not yet been filled.
Now as soon as Wang Jun handed over the money, Steward Wan immediately filled in Wang Jun's name in the vacancy, and then held it to Wang Jun with both hands, and said, "Wang Gongzi will take the order!" ”
"Minister Wang Jun, take the order." Wang Jun bowed slightly and took the holy decree.
The two of them immediately laughed, and after a moment's pause, Steward Wan warned: "Wang Taishou also remember that you have only paid 30% of the money and goods now, and you need to pay 20% next year, otherwise your official position will be deprived by Your Majesty." ”
"Thank you for your advice."
Wang Jun took out two heart-sized pearls from his sleeves, quietly handed them to Steward Wan, and said, "Steward Wan, I still need to go back to Yingchuan in the future, and this matter is still troublesome for Steward Wan to help." ”
Steward Wan put it away sensitively, his face was solemn, and he said: "The law is nothing more than human feelings, this official can help you maneuver, five months, and go to office in five months." ”
Rubbing his fingers, he said, "But you need to touch it up and down." ”
Wang Jun took the small box in Da Niu's hand, handed it to Wan Guan Shi, and said, "Then it will be troublesome Wan Guan Shi." ”
Steward Wan took the small box, lifted a gap slightly, and suddenly a golden one, quickly covered it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Wang Gongzi, your account can be counted from half a year later." ”
"It's all in trouble." Wang Jun said with a smile.
"Well said, well said."
The two politely exchanged words for a while, Wang Jun said goodbye, and left the imperial city with Zhao Yun and the others.
Immediately asked the coachman to rush to the Huangfu General's Mansion, and Wang Jun went to visit Huangfu Song's home again, because Huangfu Song was still out on the expedition, and soon left.
Then I went to Xun's house to pay a visit, but Xun You studied here, talked to him, and left.
returned to the courtyard, called the direction, and explained to him that if there was really danger, he could give up Luoyang's business, and went to the dark to collect intelligence, waiting for his order to evacuate.
...........
The next day, the weather in Luoyang was gloomy, like a harbinger before heavy rain.
Wang Jun had already bought the official position of Hexi Taishou, and there was nothing to do, so he was ready to return to Yingchuan, gather people and horses, and prepare grain and grass to go to Hexi County to take office.
In the carriage, Guo Jia looked at the pedestrians outside the window and asked like a dream: "Lord, aren't you afraid that the Yuan family will let the government find you trouble." ”
Wang Jun closed his eyes, his body shook with the carriage, and said disdainfully: "If the Yuan family does this, I really look down on them." You must know that this kind of taboo thing is a taboo thing, as long as I don't leave a handle, they can't use the power of the government. ”
"Fengxiao, we are only developing in the furniture side, but the Zhen family of Zhongshan and the Mijia of Xuzhou are famous big businesses in the world."
"Do you guess that if there is really a top family competing for it, will those big businessmen and small heroes have a sense of crisis? In fact, the greater your power, the safer you are, not to mention the troubled times. ”
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth rose and said, "It's better for the lord to be careful." ”
Wang Jun sneered: "The one who drove the car in the rear, the few people who rushed in the rear, and the soap servant, they have been following us for a few days." If I don't leave, I don't know how long the rats in the gutter will have to keep up. ”
Guo Jia had already discovered those mice, and originally wanted to remind Wang Jun, but he didn't expect Wang Jun to know about it a long time ago, put down the car curtain, and said with a smile: "Lord, I'm waiting to watch the show." ”
The convoy walked for more than ten minutes to the city gate, only to see a lot of people entering the city, and many people leaving the city.
More than 30 soldiers were checking for prohibited weapons one by one, and soon it was Wang Jun's turn to do the inspection.
A centurion personally jumped into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw Wang Jun sitting in a precarious position, a surprise flashed in his eyes, and he jumped out of the carriage as if nothing happened, shouting: "Normal, let go." ”
Watching Wang Jun's convoy leave, the centurion explained, and immediately ran to the private room on the second floor of the restaurant not far away, knocked respectfully on the door, and said, "Butler Fu, the little one has something to report." ”
"Come in!" Yuan Fu's old voice sounded in the room.
When he entered the door, he saw Yuan Fu drinking by himself, and the centurion bowed down and said, "Steward Fu, the group of people you let pay attention to, they have just left the city." ”
"Yes, there's a reward." Yuan Fu said proudly.
He took out a money bag from his bosom and threw it to the centurion, and then said sharply: "Get out of here, and rot this thing in my stomach." ”
The centurion happily took the money bag, opened the money bag and glanced at it, put it in his arms, smiled with a flattering face, and said: "Don't worry, Steward Fu, the little one hasn't been here today, so the little one will leave." ”
The centurion bowed down and withdrew from the private room, carefully handed the door to the steward, took out the money bag and kissed it, and carefully put it into his arms, alert for possible thieves.
Yuan Fu in the private room, estimating that the centurion had already walked away, got up and came to the next room.
There was already a middle-aged man in leather armor with a scar on his face in the room, a knife in his hand, and slowly drinking tea.
Yuan Fu stretched out his head to see that there was no one left and right, slowly closed the door, looked at the man, and said, "Has Captain Li decided?" If you agree, you'll do it yourself, and we'll treat you as one of our own. ”
Captain Li hoarsely said, "What if I don't agree?" ”
"It's okay if you don't agree, but this matter must not be revealed, otherwise be careful of your small family, hum." Yuan Fu said with a gloomy face.
A trace of resentment crossed Captain Li's eyes, but he didn't let Yuan Fu find out. He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, tried his best to keep his voice calm, and said: "Jiang Lu, the deputy of a certain person, Jiang Junhou is skilled in soldiers and horses, and he should be in charge of this matter There should be no problem, but he needs a hush money of five hundred gold, after all, the tunqi is not decided by someone." ”
"No problem, I'll let someone send it to you later, but your Shangguan doesn't need you to take care of it, we've already said hello." Yuan Fu said without a trace that the Yuan family was strong and warned Li Tong.
Li Tong grabbed the long knife, got up and hugged his fist towards Yuan Fu and said, "Since Steward Yuan has already arranged it, I will go back and arrange the soldiers and horses." ”
Yuan Fu was still a little annoyed that Li Tong was unwilling to take action in person, but he also knew that the important thing at the moment was to intercept and kill all Wang Jun and his party, and he could slowly concoct Li Tong when he turned around.
flicked his long sleeves, turned his back to his hand, and said, "Don't send it if you go slowly." ”
Li Tong didn't stop, he pulled his legs and left.
"Wait." Yuan Fudao.
Li Tong turned his back to Yuan Fu, the anger on his face was undisguised, suppressed his emotions, and said, "What else is there to manage Li?" ”
Yuan Fu turned around and stared at Li Tong's back, and said with a disdainful smile: "No matter whether Li Tong is willing or not, I will immediately send troops to the Jiang army when I return to the camp, don't let people run away for me, otherwise you won't have a good time in the future." ”
"I see."
With a bang, Li Tong slammed open the door and vented, and returned to the barracks angrily.
