Chapter 52: Calculation

Although Fan Zhongyan is pedantic, he has been mixed in the court for so many years, and he still doesn't know the situation. So he asked, "I will definitely play the imperial court for the credit of Lord Bao." But before we do that, we have some handover formalities to be done! What about you adults? ”

Seeing this, Jin Wandao had to say, so he had to reply: "Master Bao is going home, I'm afraid I'm too tired, rest!" ”

Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu sent people to receive them, and on the other hand, they went to the imperial court to report the situation here, and asked the imperial court to send a large army to escort the two million yuan.

"What is this Bao Qing doing? What treasure hunt? Three million dollars, isn't it a joke? Ouyang Xiu said.

"Just go and see, Bao Qing has a house in the east of the city, and the master of Qin talked about it when he chatted with me that day. said that this package of adults took a big advantage, and bought a big house in the east of the city for only a few hundred yuan. also joked that this bag of adults never suffers losses when doing things, but his master book has suffered a lot in his hands and suffered enough. But then again, this Qin master's evaluation of Bao Qing is extremely high! What do you say about this long-term county disaster relief, you can see that Bao Daren has the people in his heart, and he dares to act, and he is a rare capable official in this Great Song Dynasty! Fan Zhongyan said.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this cunning boy to have such a high evaluation." Ouyang Xiu said with a smile.

The two of them took a few entourages and asked left and right to finally find Bao Qing's residence. Let's say that Bao Qing and Zhu Daniu took away the hired short-term workers, leaving only their cronies and entourage. Immediately, the inventory began, and Bao Qing looked at the money, his eyes were spent, and his hands were a little sore.

"Brother Bao, the inventory is complete, it's really three million."

"Haha, three million guan, get rich!" Bao Qing laughed.

But at this moment, there was another hearty laugh outside: "Okay! Good! Congratulations to Mr. Bao for making new contributions to the court! The unsolved case of nearly ten years has been solved by Lord Bao again, and the anti-Liao military salary that has been missing for nearly ten years can be lost and recovered, and it was found by Lord Bao, which is really gratifying! ”

The people who came were Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, and the two of them looked for Bao Qing's residence all the way, and wondered all the way what kind of money Bao Liuwen said about three million yuan. was finally remembered by Fan Zhongyan, it turned out that it was a robbery of military salaries that was widely implicated many years ago, and after so many years, I didn't expect it to be able to tour.

Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but sigh, God bless the Great Song Dynasty, it was during the period when the Liao army knocked on the border, and the Great Song Dynasty needed this money to fully pay the army, buy grain and grass, and actively prepare for war.

Bao Qing was shocked when he heard this, scolded the doorkeeper in his heart, and glared at Zhu Daniu viciously. Zhu Daniu was extremely depressed, this gatekeeper was indeed what he was looking for, where did he think that it would be like this. When the men who came to see the door heard that it was Qin who came, they were so frightened that they hurriedly opened the door and volunteered to lead the way.

Bao Qing didn't have a seizure on the spot, so he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and said, "Hello Master Fan, why are you here?" ”

"If we don't come, is Lord Bao going to hide all these three million in his own home?" Ouyang Xiu said.

"How can this be done, no matter what, our words can count. Zhu Daniu came, found someone to count the cash box, and found 1.5 million yuan and handed it to Master Fan. Bao Qing said.

"No, Lord Bao, it should be three million." Ouyang Xiu said.

"Lord Ouyang, the official family has set a deadline for me to recover the two million yuan in the robbery of the official bank, have I already done it?" Bao Qing asked.

"Yes, Bao Qing, you did a good job, I will go to the official house today and give you a reward!" Fan Zhongyan said happily.

"With this word from an adult, I am relieved! I think that on that day, Lord Qincha said in person, as long as I find the money again, give me half of it! Haha, big cow, there are three million guan here, if I didn't find Bao Qing back, I'm afraid that the imperial court won't be able to get a copper plate! I think Lord Qincha's personal promise in front of everyone will definitely count, and you quickly divide half of it and give it to Lord Fan and Lord Ouyang to take away. These days, in order to solve the case, I opened a dam to flood the fertile land, and many officials and catchers died, which cost money, and I have installed the rest. Bao Qing said with a smile.

Fan Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Master Bao! What are you? You're going to take 1.5 million guan? Have you spent it? ”

"Look, my lord, I said it earlier, I said that this bag of boys set you up, you don't believe it. Look at his cunning appearance, he has already calculated it. I'm afraid these three million are already in his calculations! Ouyang Xiu said with a complaint.

"But, this is stolen silver, and it's the money of the imperial court? Bao Qing, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this! Fan Zhongyan never expected that Bao Qing would act like this at this time.

"No, Bao Liuwen said very clearly that day, saying that Lord Qincha represents the official family, and the official family is not the first person in the Great Song Dynasty, it can be described as a golden mouth, how can there be any reason to regret it, do you want the official family to lose faith in the people? Besides, this reason can be explained everywhere, it really doesn't work, I'll set up a banquet tonight, so that everyone who came that day will comment! Bao Qing said.

Now Fan Zhongyan can be regarded as understanding, he regrets it in his heart, he has lived a person of this age, it can be said that he has become old and fine, but he didn't expect that he was calculated by a young junior.

"Bao Qing, did you kid already calculate it, and you will definitely get back the three million yuan? No wonder, in order to solve the case, not only did he promise to deceive the victims to repair the embankment, but he also deceived the officials and the arresters to work for you. Dare to use the money? All right! I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, this is all calculated on my head! Fan Zhongyan thought about it before and after, and didn't know whether he wanted to be angry or laugh.

Bao Qing smiled and said nothing, but he muttered in his heart, he didn't think so far, he just took one step at a time, as for money, he copied Li Jiujin's house, there are always 100,000 yuan if there is no million.

Ouyang Xiu saw Bao Qing's smug appearance, and hated it in his heart, and pointed at Bao Qing with his finger and said, "You kid is too cunning, it's really too unauthentic." After speaking, he pulled Fan Zhongyan, who still wanted to say a few words, and left.

After the two left, Zhu Daniu stood aside depressedly and asked, "Brother Bao, how is this good!" Aren't we just doing our jobs for nothing? ”

"Neither nor not!" Bao Qing smiled, "Do you really think I want to swallow these three million yuan?" If I did this, then Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu would have hated me to death, and the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty would still have designated in his heart who would not look at me as Bao Qing! Besides, what am I going to do with all this money? Do you want to recruit troops? ”

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense about Brother Bao! It's going to kill your head! So why are we so busy? ”

"For what? Of course, it's for money, think about it, I cried to Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, and finally gave them all the three million, do you think they will be very grateful to me? Then Li Jiujin's money and property, do you think they are embarrassed to settle it with me? I estimated it, the Li family has been robbing merchant ships in the past few years, and I am afraid that the accumulated money is also a lot, there should be a lot. That's what we want. This money is safe and private, and you are not afraid of people's eyes! ”

"Brother Bao, you are really smart!" Zhu Daniu said with a smile.

"If there is anything in the future, don't tell Xiaowen again, this little girl is a big mouth and can't hide her words!" Bao Qing said.

"No, Brother Bao, didn't you ask me to deliberately go to Xiaowen this time and tell her about our treasure hunting? Yes? Do you mean that Xiaowen told Master Fan about our whereabouts? Zhu Daniu asked with a surprised expression.

"If it's not her, who else can there be? Da Niu, let's do two things. First, you go back to Xiaowen to take a look, you should dig out the second child of the Li family, go and ask where the money is hidden, as long as Master Fan accepts all the money, you let Jin Wandao withdraw, don't be obliged to guard, go and help me find money. It is estimated that Zhanzhao and they should come in a while. Instead, a banquet was set up in the evening, and officials from all over the county were summoned to see off Lord Fan, and the Qin master was notified to open the upstream embankment to allow passing ships to pass normally. ”

"Okay!" Zhu Daniu replied excitedly.

After waiting for about half an hour, Zhanzhao and the others really came, taking advantage of the dusk, the sky was dark, and a dozen figures pushed a few cars and slowly entered the house.

"Brother Bao! Guess how much money we found? Zhan Fei saw that Bao Qing was there, and asked with a smile.

"100,000?"

"Huh? Brother Bao, this is too much, only 60,000! Of course, if you add those jewels, and some silver, I guess there is. Zhan Fang on the side said.

After Bao Qing heard this, he made a gesture and asked them to transport the things to the backyard, leaving only Zhanzhao and Zhanqing.

"Something?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Now that the money is available, the previous charges should be gone! Zhanqing, except for some jewelry and silver, you can bring all the money back to Zhanjiazhuang! Disbanded Xiangma and re-operated Zhanjiazhuang. Bao Qing said.

"Huh?" Zhan Qing was obviously a little surprised, "How is this good!" Besides, that's too much! ”

"What I'm saying is true, I don't want you to continue to be a ringing horse in the future! How will I marry Fang'er in the future? Bao Qing said with a smile.

"Big brother, it's rare to have a piece of big brother's heart! After my sister got married, she was her own family, so why are you polite? Zhanfei said.

Zhan Zhao looked at the Zhan family who followed him, as well as the more than ten ringing horses, and paused and said, "Big brother, Hugh is like a daughter, you can transport the money back, and treat these remaining brothers well." ”

"Huh? What are you? Zhan Qing said with some puzzlement.
