Chapter 817 Return to Beijing

There was no result in the robbery of Guanyin, and Shangguan Xiu suddenly returned to Beijing from Anyang, which surprised many people, including Tang Ling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After Shangguan Xiu returned to Shangjing, he first went to Shura Hall.

After Yuan Mu and Qin Chuan heard the news, they hurriedly greeted the entrance of the hall, and after seeing Shangguan Xiu, the two of them intervened to give a salute and said in unison: "Brother Xiu!"

Shangguan Xiu rushed back from Anyang day and night, and he came back in only seven days after a journey of more than half a month.

Sleeping in the open along the way, Shangguan Xiu also looked very tired, and Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, who came back with him, were even more discouraged, and the whole face looked like they couldn't find a white place except for their eyes.

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand at the two of them, walked into the hall, and said, "Go in and talk!"

Yuan Mu and Qin Chuan connected Shangguan Xiu to the inner room of the lobby, and asked people to bring a few basins of warm water.

Shangguan Xiu, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei just washed their faces and hands, and they used six basins of water. While wiping his face with a hand towel, he asked, "Have you tried Tian Caidie?"

"Brother Xiu, it's already been tried. ”

"The result?"

Yuan Mu cleared his throat and told Shangguan Xiu the whole story of the incident.

After hearing this, Shangguan Xiu burst out laughing, looked at Yuan Mu meaningfully, and said: "Ah Mu, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, even Your Majesty dares to coax!"

"Brother Xiu, Cai Xiao is really deceiving people too much, so calculating Shura Hall and calculating Brother Xiu, if we don't fight back, won't it seem that we are too easy to bully?" After a pause, he said apologetically: "Deceived Your Majesty, I am indeed at fault, please punish Brother Xiu, Ah Mu admits punishment!"

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and smiled, and said, "I didn't say that what you did was wrong, I just said that you were bold enough." He is still very satisfied with Yuan Mu's plan, and it is estimated that this countermeasure may not be able to be predicted by a shrewd Cai Xiao.

Yuan Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Cai Xiao has already proposed to impeach the Junwutang in the early court today, and under the opposition of Qiu Yi and other ministers, Cai Xiao also proposed to let the students of the Junwutang and the Lingwu Academy have a competition, the time is set for three days later, and the venue is the venue of the Capture the Flag Match outside the city. This is exactly the same situation as Tian Caidie's explanation!"

Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "Cai Xiao has been shrewd all his life, and he has calculated all his life, but he often walks by the river, how can he not get his shoes wet? This time, it is an excellent opportunity to bring down Cai Xiao." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, changed his words, and said: "Send a letter to the branch masters of each branch, and let them secretly investigate the underground vaults of each branch of Baofeng Qianzhuang." ”

"Underground vaults?"

Shangguan Xiu put down his handkerchief, took a sip of tea, and talked about the fact that Baofeng Qianzhuang was located in the underground vault of Anyang Branch, and then, he narrowed his eyes and said: "Baofeng Qianzhuang does this, in fact, it is equivalent to tying a talisman on their own body, if something happens to the Cai family and Baofeng Qianzhuang falls, then, the people who save money and send things in Baofeng Qianzhuang will suffer, and there may be a lot of chaos at that time, if the imperial court wants to solve it, it will have to come up with a large amount of gold and silver to compensate, I am afraid, the exhausted treasury may not be able to compensate." Therefore, even if His Majesty wants to move the Cai family, he may not dare to act rashly, if we can first find out all the underground vaults of Baofeng Qianzhuang, then the Cai family will be like fish and meat, and Your Majesty will punish it, and he will have no worries!"

When Yuan Mu and Qin Chuan heard this, they glanced at each other, and they both secretly sighed in their hearts, the Cai family was really shrewd to the core, and they could even think of such a bad move. Yuan Mu smiled bitterly: "The Cai family has set up underground vaults in various counties and counties, even if the Cai family really can't stay in the Wind Country, just relying on the gold, silver and treasures in these underground vaults is enough to make the Cai family rich no matter where they go!"

Moreover, these gold, silver and jewelry are not their Cai family at all, they are deposited in Baofeng Qian Zhuang by countless Feng people, and the Cai family is shameless to the extreme.

"Therefore, it is very important to find out the underground vaults of the Cai family in various places. ”

"Understood, Brother Xiu, I will write a letter to the hall masters of each branch later, and ask them to start investigating this matter as soon as possible. ”

"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu nodded. Yuan Mu asked curiously: "Brother Xiu, the official silver that was robbed in Anyang ......?"

"I can't find any clues for the time being, but the official silver is likely to be in Anyang City, but I am in Anyang, and the robbers hiding in the dark dare not act rashly, and if I leave Anyang, it is easy to lure them out of the water. Shangguan Xiu licked his lips and muttered, "Five million taels of silver, they won't hide it all the time." ”

"But Brother Xiu, I can't afford to delay it now, and many ministers in the court are taking advantage of the robbery of the official bank to take the opportunity to attack the gendarmerie, especially Cai Xiao and Song Sheng. By the way, some time ago, Song Sheng also recommended Pingwang Tang Branding to Anyang to take over the investigation of the case, and Brother Xiu returned to Beijing in time and failed to meet Tang Branding, which is also a good thing. "Tang Xuan's temper is stinky and hard, extremely difficult to get along with, if he meets him in Anyang, he may not know how to embarrass Brother Xiu!

Shangguan Xiu laughed, he hadn't had much contact with Tang Xuan, but he had also heard a lot of his deeds, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "King Ping's days of Xianyun Yehe are used to it, let him go to Anyang, I'm afraid he will have to run back in three or five days." He straightened his sleeves and said, "The robbed official silver is temporarily filled by the Sitong silver number." ”

"Four silver numbers to pay money, we want to take out five million taels of silver?"

"To be exact, this silver is not from us, but from the Cai family!"

Yuan Mu immediately understood when he heard this, Brother Xiu took the underground vault of the Anyang branch of Baofeng Qianzhuang, and the gold, silver and jewelry found were not only five million taels? Yuan Mu said with a smile: "This time, the Cai family has suffered heavy losses, but Cai Xiao has lost his wife and broken his soldiers!" Speaking of this, he frowned again and said: "The gold, silver and jewelry in the underground vault are not from the Cai family, we have all robbed them, will it hurt the local people?"

Shangguan Xiu shook his head with a smile and said, "The gold, silver and jewelry were lost in Baofeng Qianzhuang, and Baofeng Qianzhuang is of course responsible for compensation! As long as the Cai family has not collapsed, as long as Baofeng Qianzhuang still exists, the Cai family cannot ignore its reputation!"

Yuan Muda nodded and said in a brisk tone: "So, only the Cai family is really damaged this time!"

At this time, a military police officer walked in briskly from outside, intervened to give a salute, and said, "Your Excellency, the envoy of Ningnan is now in the Zhenguo Mansion, asking to see your lordship!"

"Ningnan envoy?" Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows, he didn't know about Ningnan's envoy sending an envoy to visit the Wind Country.

The gendarme replied: "This time, the envoy of Ningnan visited our country and proposed to exchange the Utar region of Duki for Pingguan!"

Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and asked, "Has Your Majesty agreed?"

His Majesty did not agree or object, but only said that he would discuss it after the adults returned to Beijing. ”

In terms of size, a hundred Pingguan together is not as big as the Utar region, and in terms of importance and strategic value, a hundred Uttar is not worth one Pingguan.

What else is there to discuss in this matter, the people of Ningnan clearly want to use a piece of rotten tiles wrapped in gorgeous flowers, and want to exchange the night pearl in the hands of the Wind Country, only a fool would agree to such an exchange. He casually asked, "There must be ministers in the court who support this matter, right?"

"Yes, sir!"

"The minister who supports you must be Lord Qiu, right?"

The gendarmerie general couldn't help but be stunned, subconsciously looked at Shangguan Xiu, and muttered in his heart, Could it be that your lord will not be able to predict the prophet? He nodded and said, "It is indeed Lord Qiu who agrees with the exchange between the two countries!"

"Rat-eyed. Shangguan Xiu muttered and asked casually, "Who is the envoy from Ningnan?"

Qiu Yi fornicated with the Ningnan people, not once or twice, this is not a shocking secret, but to say that Qiu Yi wants to help the Ningnan people overthrow the court of the Wind Country, and even let the Wind Country destroy the country, it is not enough.

The above official show understands Qiu Yi, he took the benefits given by the people of Ningnan and sold them some information on the national policy of the Wind Country to the people of Ningnan, or helped the people of Ningnan to do something that he thought would not harm the interests of the Wind Country.

It is estimated that this time Qiu Yi thought that the people of Ningnan would only exchange such a big Utar for one city in Pingguan, how much advantage did the Wind Country take!

"Lord Hui, Ningnan's envoys are General Xin Jiyao Xin and General Jun Qi Hanjun!"

Xin Jiyao and Jun Qihan, these two people can be called their old opponents, especially Jun Qihan, Shangguan Xiu still remembers the last battle between the two of them, and they both almost died in that vicious battle, who would have thought that your life-and-death opponent on the battlefield would one day appear in his own home, and he would come openly.

"Brother Xiu, do you want to see the two of them?" asked Yuan Mu.

"See, of course I want to see! It just so happens that I also want to ask the two of them, Ning Nan wants to exchange a piece of rotten land for Pingguan, are all people who are stupid?" Shangguan Xiu sneered and walked out.

Zhenguo Mansion.

After Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling got married, the Zhenguo Mansion was much more deserted than before, and the number of times Shangguan Xiu returned to the mansion was also only a handful. After returning to the Zhenguo Mansion, Shangguan Xiu first changed his clothes, and then went to the lobby of the vestibule.

When he arrived, Xin Jiyao and Jun Qihan were sitting on chairs, leisurely drinking tea, chatting with each sentence.

Looking at the leisurely posture of the two of them, it seems to be back to their own home. Shangguan Xiu smiled, laughing angrily.

He walked in from the outside, and said loudly at the same time: "It's rare to go to Beijing today with a beautiful wind and sunshine, and the two of you don't go out to play, but they actually came to my house to drink tea." ”

As an aside, you two are full of food!

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu finally showed up, Xin Jiyao put down the teacup in his hand on the ground, stood up unhurriedly, and said, "I heard that you have returned to Beijing, and General Jun and I came to visit as soon as possible!"

"General Xin's news is as well-informed as ever. ”

"Hehe!" Xin Jiyao chuckled and said, "Come and see you, are you dead?" ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and others, even Jun Qihan was startled, and secretly said in his heart: Xin Jiyao is really open-mouthed, after all, this is the Wind Country, and it is the Zhenguo Mansion! For Xin Jiyao's words, Shangguan Xiu was not angry, shrugged his shoulders and said: "The mouth is as vicious as ever. While speaking, he walked to the main seat in the center of the hall, turned around, and bowed his hand to Jun Qihan and said, "General Jun, it's been a long time!"
