Chapter 37: 300,000 Favors (2)
"Brother, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong. It's my ghost who is confused, but if the household department wants to allocate 2 million taels to Jiangnan and Hanoi to control the water, I have to go to the warehouse to withdraw the money, and this money has to be made up...... Brother, you can beat me and scold me as much as you want, but the 300,000 taels must be made up, otherwise I will definitely die......" Luo Shiheng really regretted it, he didn't care about the pain on his body, he pulled Luo Shijing's trouser legs, and cried bitterly. He didn't understand why he had so much courage to move the 300,000 of the user department, he had always been very responsible, how could he have so much courage, if he hadn't listened to that person, how could he gradually raise his guts, 30,000, 50,000, and finally 300,000, he really regretted it......
"That guy is already in place, right?" Shangguan Changzhi asked Li Ke'an, tasting the Longjing in March before Ming, and felt that it was extremely sweet.
"Your Highness, rest assured, that person has already left Jingzhao, and the finishing touches are all clean, and Luo Shiheng will not have a chance to find out that this person is specially placed by us." Hearing Li Ke'an's answer, Shangguan Changzhi showed a gentle smile, sniffed the fragrance of Longjing tea, and felt comfortable. This bureau has been in place for two years, in order to send that person to Luo Shiheng without a trace, Shangguan Changzhi and others also took a lot of twists and turns, but they didn't expect it to be the end so soon, if it wasn't for the Ministry of Industry to ask the Jun River to control the water, Luo Shiheng's affairs would not have been exposed so quickly.
Luo Shijing, if it weren't for the fact that you had 20,000 Jinggi guards from Jingzhao Mansion in your hands, and you boasted of being a pure minister and couldn't get into it, how could I think of starting with your younger brother, it's also your godbrother who has no way to do it, and your heart is so greedy and bold, but if it's not like this, how can I have the opportunity to show favor to you and make you owe me a favor, as for Luo Shiheng, I have to complain that you have a brother of Jing Zhaoyin, and I have to complain that brother loves you so much. Shangguan Changzhi thought so, his eyes darkened, and there was a little imperceptible yin owl.
"Prepare the 300,000 yuan, let the Luo family be anxious for two more days, let him deeply experience the feeling of a desperate place where there is no way out, only when there is no hope, will he be more grateful to me, will he remember my help, will he be on my side, and the 20,000 Gyeonggi guards can be used by me." Shangguan Changzhi instructed Li Ke'an that it would be much more effective to delay this bureau for two days and then close it.
When Shen Zejing came back from the examination, he also knew about the Ruliu place for the first time, and the Ruliu place was organized under his suggestion, and his concern for it was naturally extraordinary, so after listening to the reports of Shen Yuhong and Shen Yuyi, he did not think a lot like Shen Huashan, but made a decisive decision: believe the news and raise 300,000 yuan to send to Jingzhao Mansion.
As for other matters, I will wait for the matter of Jingzhao Mansion to consider it in the long run.
At this point, Shen Zejing and Shen Ning's father and daughter are by nature, they want to buy Jing Zhaoyin's favor, and the money can be earned again, but the opportunity is rare.
When he heard that Shen Huashan urgently needed 300,000 yuan and asked Shen Zeyuan when he would be ready, Shen Zeyuan felt that his heart and liver trembled, not frightened, but deeply puzzled, how could he need such a large sum of money? Although 300,000 yuan will not hurt the Shen family, but in such a short time, it is difficult to get together, but Shen Huashan did not explain what the use, only said that it was urgently needed, and Shen Zeyuan was a little anxious.
"It will take two days." Shen Zeyuan calculated expressly, it will take a lot of time to prepare 300,000 taels, before the Chinese New Year, his uncle Shen Deshan sent 30,000 taels and has not yet used it, the Shen family's Longjing Zhai and "Come to Drunk" liquor and other industries have about 100,000 taels of cash in circulation, and the Shen family's inventory and Zhuangzi all over the suburbs of Beijing can also make up about 120,000 taels, and the remaining 50,000 taels have to bother Hu Shi'an and Tang Jingzhao semicolons.
Yan Shang also felt quite strange when he heard Shen Zeyuan's instructions, but he had the advantage that he should never ask what he shouldn't ask, and immediately cooperated with Shen Zeyuan to transfer silver to various industries, and personally went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to redeem the silver tickets. Over there, Shen Zeyuan also visited the Hu shopkeeper of Anhetang's branch with Shen Hu's family, and the Hu shopkeeper was very kind to this Hu family's aunt and grandmother, and 50,000 taels was not a big amount for An Hetang, so he personally went to the money village to get a silver ticket for Shen Zeyuan. In this way, by the end of the next night, Shen Zeyuan sent 300,000 taels of silver tickets to Shen Huashan's study.
Early in the morning, Mrs. He, who specially delivered vegetables to Jingzhao Mansion, fell ill, and her nephew brought fresh fruits and vegetables instead of her. The gatekeeper of Luofu saw that the young man was upright, with a dark face and calluses on his hands, obviously he was also a child of a poor family, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy, and he didn't suspect him, so he checked the load of fruits and vegetables a little, and let him in.
When Mrs. He's nephew sent fruits and vegetables into the back kitchen of Luofu, for some reason, he suddenly became anxious, and he was extremely embarrassed to ask Luo Fang, the steward of the kitchen, to borrow a toilet. Luo Fang then pointed him out a place, Cai's nephew thanked him repeatedly, and hurriedly ran in that direction, after he was done, he seemed to feel that Jingzhao Mansion was the same, and couldn't help but get lost, and he just met Steward Luo who was about to serve Luo Shijing, and his nephew muttered a few words to Steward Luo, and saw that Steward Luo's face changed slightly, and said to the two little servants who followed: "The master said a few days ago that the recent fruits and vegetables are very fresh, and I want to give some rewards, just when her nephew came, I took him to meet and ask for some rewards, Don't follow me. The two boys nodded and retreated.
"What does that mean?" Luo Shijing looked at his nephew He with a deep face, and the power of Jingzhao Mansion Yin was suppressed to the maximum, but when he saw that the young man was not flustered, he replied respectfully: "My master knows that the adult is in trouble, and this 300,000 taels of silver tickets is used to solve the emergency, so he should be a friend with the adult." ”
"Who is the master of your house?" Although Luo Shijing was shocked in his heart, his face was extremely calm, who leaked the news? He knew that there were few Jingzhao officials who did not go to Jingzhao Mansion, but after years of combing, he thought that although Jingzhao Mansion was not as dense as an iron bucket, it was not bad, could it be that Luo Shiheng leaked the news? Could it be that the household department knows the news? No, it won't be a household, so is this person friend or foe? What is the purpose of sending this silver ticket? What is this person going to get from me? Years of experience have taught him that no pie that big will fall out of thin air.
"My master wants an adult to be a favor, and when I ask for something in the future, I ask the adult to help me. What is asked for will be within the law of reason. Nephew Cai conveyed the intention of buying favors with 300,000 yuan, and the master made it very clear, so Luo Shijing would definitely agree.
Sure enough, after Luo Shijing was silent for a long time, he motioned to Steward Luo to take the 300,000 silver taels, and then he took the pen and ink, and wrote the word "Haohao" on an inch square of white paper, and agreed that he would use this note to cash out the favor in the future. He really needs the 300,000 taels in exchange for his younger brother's life, Luo Shiheng is the younger brother he raised as a son, even if he knows that taking the 300,000 is equivalent to putting a knife on his neck, but he has to do so.
Nephew He still respectfully accepted the note, and greeted Luo Shijing again, and then retreated with Steward Luo.
"What, lost it? Mrs. He didn't have any nephews who came to deliver the dishes? Luo Shijing listened to Steward Luo's report, and he asked the housekeeper to follow Nephew He, but he didn't expect to lose it in a few clicks. I summoned the He Pozi again and asked, she didn't have a nephew at all, and she wondered why she got up late today. Luo Shijing sighed deeply, his skills are not as good as others, he felt like walking on thin ice for the first time, and for the first time, he also had the idea of retreating.
"Luo Shijing is clear on all sides, and his only weakness is his younger brother. Fortunately, this person has the reputation of Ji Bu, since he left a note, it is useful, and put it for later use. Shen Huashan looked at the word "Haohao" on the note, and said to Shen Yuhong and Shen Yuyi, the matter of Jingzhao Mansion is here for the time being, and we have to start thinking about other things.
"What do you say? Do you say it again? Luo Shiheng filled in the 300,000? Where did the money come from in Jingzhao Mansion? This is impossible, how is this possible, Jingzhao Mansion can have a maximum of 100,000 assets, and we have already deliberated twice...... How is this possible......" Li Ke'an listened to the advice of his subordinates, cold sweat came, how could it be, he was preparing to go to Jingzhao Mansion with His Royal Highness, what can I do, he remembered Shangguan Changzhi's methods, the two-year layout was ruined, he didn't dare to imagine how Shangguan Changzhi would react when he heard the news, the 20,000 Gyeonggi guards......
Li Ke'an felt that his back was soaked, but the cold sweat was still falling, and he told Shangguan Changzhi the news in fear.
"It seems that someone is ahead of us......" Unexpectedly, Shangguan Changzhi did not get angry, nor did he blame Li Ke'an, but said such a sentence with a calm expression. In fact, his heart hurts to death, the two-year layout has fallen short, he can't tell what mood he feels, remorse, unwilling, and aggrieved, if only it were two days earlier, he can't wait to rush to Jingzhao Mansion to ask what happened, but he still has to pretend to appease Li Ke'an as if nothing happened, he still has a useful place.
"Go and check if there are any people in Jingzhao Mansion in the past two days, and then go to check, Jingzhao can have someone who has transferred money and silver in the past two days, 300,000 is not a small amount, it should be able to find out......" Shangguan Changzhi ordered, this time the matter must have been cut off, but the hateful thing is that he doesn't know who it is, how could that person know about Luo Shiheng? - Actually, the Shen family doesn't know about Luo Shiheng at all, Shangguan Changzhi, you think too much.
Li Ke'an agreed, although he felt that he would definitely not be able to find out - Dayong Qianzhuang has extremely strict regulations, and the secrecy is strict, even the prince does not dare to easily investigate the affairs of Qianzhuang, because Dayong Taizu Shangguan Fu has been in charge of Qianzhuang, and Qianzhuang's status is extraordinary, not to mention that he can't reveal his identity to check, he can only go to the news in private, which is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
