Chapter 491: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea

Lao Wei accompanied her to ride a horse around the city, and she stretched out her big ironclad hand to the people on the street, and the soldiers waved her hand, but she found a few big patrol fans.

stepped heavily on the snowflakes and went up to the city tower, without her saying anything, he stood under the dragon flag with his sword, everything was like an emperor. Below, there were officers and soldiers shouting "Hurray!" ”

Xin Kun didn't speak, she still stood at the top and waved her hand softly to everyone.

Cai Guan was speechless, this one pretended to be quite similar, at least from behind, he almost felt that Guo Peng was back.

came out and took a turn, so that the people and officers and soldiers saw the emperor, and Shanhaiguan settled down, Xin Kun returned to Xingzai, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Cai Guan and Lao Wei waited outside the door for her to get better before entering.

"It's time for the emperor to arrive, right?" Xin Kun touched a little clam oil on her face, and just washed her face with hot water, without applying some oil, she felt that her face was about to open.

"There's no news yet, and I can't see anything in the official documents that have been going back and forth in Beijing these days. Of course, there was no letter urging the emperor to reply to the barbarian. Cai Guan pursed his lips and smiled.

"Interesting, in fact, if I were them, I should persuade the emperor to return to Luan as soon as possible. He can't take the army back, along the way, on the contrary, there are more opportunities. Xin Kun took a sip of tea and shook his head.

"That's not ready, people are sent outside the customs, their people don't dare to enter from Shanhaiguan, they can only make a detour, at this time urge the emperor to go back, what if their people are not in place, and the emperor goes back?" Cai Guan understood very well and chuckled.

"That makes sense, by the way, those people have been locked up for so many days, have you found out something?"

"The quartermaster was recruited, and he colluded with the Beijing Central Military Department, and over the years, he got a lot of silver. There are nearly ten houses in the capital, and now the Xin family can no longer say that they are rich people in Beijing, compared with these people, it is far behind. Cai Guan handed over the book of weeping blood and sneered.

"In other words, he is bent on making money and doing nothing else?" Xin Kun looked at the statements and frowned.

"Who has nothing to do with the quartermaster? Also, how much does it cost to buy? "Cai Guan believes in the quartermaster.

"The best thing to buy is the quartermaster, and whoever wants to get resources from him has to talk to him. That's why I asked you to catch it. said that he was the only one who died, of course, he reported it meritorious, maybe he would be dismissed from his post and go home to be his rich man. But conspiracy is a big crime to go to the three clans, especially my court's rebellion against officers is even more severe, it's you, which one do you recognize? ”

Cai Guan looked sideways at Lao Wei, "What do you think?" ”

"Shut it up, anyway, don't point it out anyway." Lao Wei didn't bother to care, "Niangniang, do you want to mobilize the grain and grass from all the surrounding departments?" ”

They didn't bring any grain and grass when they came back, so they pointed to the ones who came to Shanhaiguan to replenish, but Shanhaiguan didn't have any extra grain and grass, according to Xin Kun's earliest budget, they wanted to mobilize a batch here and send it to North Korea, after all, so many soldiers can't starve to death in the ice and snow!

"Aren't you rich now?" Xin Kun pointed to the confession.

"Is his money here?" Lao Wei didn't have that much sense of morality, what he thought was, what if this miser didn't have so much money at the border?

"Go and search, and then use the money to buy grain in the market first, and tell the merchants that those who transport grain to Shanhaiguan will not only be purchased by the imperial court according to the official price, but also give different rewards according to the quality and quantity of the grain. The best thing is to have a prison guard qualification in the family. Xin Kun said casually.

"Niangniang, do you want to discuss it with the emperor." Cai Guan was taken aback, a prison qualification, there is only one in the family of the Wupin officials, and now it is given to these businessmen, this is too terrible.

"Oh, to be announced, we only need 100,000 loads of grain, and we won't wait for it to be outdated!" Xin Kun looked up.

"How many people can get the qualification of prisoners?" Lao Wei looked at Xin Kun.

"Five, the imperial court will only give five prison places to the conscientious businessmen who have made the greatest contribution!" Xin Kun thought for a moment and looked at Cai Guan, "Do you think five is more?" ”

"Yes!" Cai Guan nodded, five prison places, Guozijian is still acceptable.

"I'm afraid that these 100,000 loads of grain will be squeezed out." Lao Wei shook his head, he could already imagine the grand occasion at that time. The verdict will be nerve-wracking.

In the past, the son of a merchant could already take the imperial examination, but this atmosphere could not be changed overnight. What's more, businessmen are still discriminated against, and they really let their son use a lot of resources to study and take an official exam, but in fact, he is still bullied, so everyone's enthusiasm is not high. And the Guo family has passed down to this generation, and there is no shortage of money enough to let people donate officials, at most they are open to redeem the crime of buying copper, and some crimes that are not very serious can be redeemed with money. Now the businessman's family does not need to take the exam, and he can exchange the money for the qualification of a prisoner, and he does not need to go to the exam, but the family is considered to have a fame, and he will live a lot in the world, which should be very popular with those big businessmen.

"Anyone else is still carrying?" Xin Kun didn't care about these merchants, but she cared about the four people who were locked up, and only one person was recruited, should she still find someone in the courtyard to tell them what it means to 'confess leniently, resist strictly'.

"Every day, I write a plea, but it doesn't mean much. All were beaten back! Cai Guan shook his head, he didn't say anything, he didn't expect those people to be locked up for five days, obviously good food and drink, as a result, one by one cried bitterly, and he couldn't see at all that those three were all experienced generals.

"Keep closing, right? Wait for the emperor to stabilize the situation in the capital before releasing it. If only there was no great sin then. Xin Kun nodded.

"Looking at you, I don't think they'll be released."

"Actually, there is really nothing to do on the town guarding side, that is a ghost, you don't believe that the quartermasters in the army are locked up one by one, I guarantee that none of them are innocent."

"So, hit the child on a rainy day, and be idle and idle." Cai Guan gave her a roll of the eyes.

"That's pretty much what it means, anyway, they're not in vain, they're not clean." Xin Kun twitched the corner of his mouth.

"The ministers want to see you." Cai Guan said the third thing, they went out of Beijing to fight in person, and brought a few old ministers, and now these people should also return to Beijing, but she stayed where she was, and the old ministers couldn't sit still, they were not fools, taking over the affairs of the border gates, and imprisoning the guards, these are not just because they met assassins on the road.

"See you then!" Xin Kun nodded.

"!" Lao Wei frowned and hurriedly stopped.

"Okay, let's arrange it, this one can't do anything else, pretending to be sick is something that others can't compare." Cai Guan raised his eyebrows, he didn't guess what he was thinking.
