Chapter 69: Don't Talk to Master Jia
What does "chat" mean?
When Gu Xiaohan was thinking about the meaning of the word Jia, Lu Ada, who was beside him, was so frightened that he "pounced" and knelt on the ground.
It's a "plop" sound, because under your feet is the floor of a loose carriage.
"My lord, it's none of our business, it's none of our business!"
Lu Ada's defense was vigorous, saying that after the soldiers suddenly came out, they surrounded the team to death, and they finally rushed out at the risk of death, and they were bent on asking for help, and it was definitely not an escape from the battle.
"I can't say this to the official, you go to the camp and tell Wen Zhongtang!"
Jia Liu didn't like to listen to Lu Ada's words, it was too undesirable to him.
His face sank to that side, and with a wave of his hand, his majesty came up, and he shouted: "Come on, take down these two cowardly wastes for me!" ”
"Huh!"
Fighting thieves, Wang Fu and they have no ability, but if they want to take their own people, it is a competition to perform.
Seeing that he was about to be taken down, Peng Xiaohan suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly said, "My lord, we are willing to talk, we are willing to talk to you!" ”
"Let's talk?"
"Let's talk."
One with the meaning of consulting, and the other with the meaning of affirmation.
"Cheng, this way."
Jia Liutou tilted towards the forest, probably to say that there are many people here, and confidential matters cannot be heard by idle people.
"Hey, hey!"
Peng Xiaohan pulled Lu Ada, who was still kneeling stupidly, and followed him into the forest.
"What do you mean by talking?"
Wang Fu asked Yang Yuchun on the side puzzled.
Yang Yuchun shook his head and said he didn't know.
"What good can be? Anyway, Devil Six told you to talk to him, don't go. ”
Zu Yingyuan glanced at Lin Zi, and didn't bother to pay attention to it: Most likely that kid wanted to extort money from other people's green camps, God knows why this guy is so greedy for money.
If you want to ridicule the devil for a few words, think about it or forget it, after all, people just now gave themselves the credit of two thieves.
Let's say that devil six can't be a man, this kid can also be a man.
Not?
Liu De looked thoughtfully at the vehicles full of silver boxes, and then at Peng and Lu, who were sneakily following the forest, and his heart was beating a little.
After Jia Liu entered the forest, he directly asked Peng and Lu who followed up: "What do you say?" ”
“......”
The more honest Lu Adada looked at Peng Xiaohan next to him, and after a short hesitation, the latter said with a smile: "My lord, the two of us are indeed not afraid of thieves to escape, please Mingjian?" ”
That's it?
Jia Liu's brows furrowed slightly, his time was precious, and every breath wasted was disloyalty and unfilial piety to the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing that Master Jia's face began to hang down again, Peng Xiaohan hurriedly took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his arms, and motioned for Lu Ada's to take out fifty taels as well.
"It's hard for adults to hunt down thieves, this is a little heart for the two of us, and I invite you to take it and drink tea..."
How could Jia Liu accept other people's silver tickets.
His face softened slightly, and he said slowly: "It stands to reason that the official should report this matter impartially, but since you said so, I can't really be that iron-faced and selfless... It's just that we flag people don't talk about money, but when we talk about money customs, we really talk about money, and I'm afraid it's not easy to talk about this money. ”
After speaking, he looked at the road with his negative hand.
In sight, hundreds of vehicles full of silver boxes lined up.
Seeing this, Peng Xiaohan's face changed, and his heart was sudden, and he said in his heart that this Lord Jia of the Eight Banners would not be fighting the idea of the army's salary.
Hey!
Coincidentally, isn't it!
Master Jia really hit this idea!
Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have been under his nose, and he just ran into a thief who robbed the road, isn't this a chance for progress given to Jia Liu by God.
What would he lack most?
Money!
Whether this can be done or not depends on Peng and Lu.
He's good, everybody's good.
He's not good, don't think about these two guys.
Of course, Jia Liuren never buys and sells, so he is quite patient and waits.
It's just that I waited and waited, but I couldn't wait for the head surnamed Peng to open up and say: "My lord, it's a mistake in my humble position, Aobai's family property... The silver that was robbed by the thieves was not nine carts, but nineteen carts..."
"It seems that you two don't want to talk to this official anymore? Nacheng, you go and talk to Wen Zhongtang by yourself! ”
Jia Liumian, who lost his patience, sank like water, and raised his feet to leave.
Tiandali, more than 30,000 taels of silver were lost, and it is not fake that all the officers and soldiers who escorted them were killed, and it is also a fact that Peng and Lu lived alone, this really has to be said in front of Wen Zhongtang, can you have a part in speaking?
Peng Xiaohan, who was originally working as an accountant in his hometown of Anlu County, regretted that his intestines were green at this time, and he had known that there was such a catastrophe, and he should not have listened to his brother-in-law last year to be the sentinel of this Laoshizi green camp.
Now it's okay, the capital hasn't been recovered yet, but the crime of killing the head is the first to be born.
hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and grabbed Master Jia, who was about to walk out of the forest.
"My lord, just now the number of lowly positions was wrong, and it was not nine cars that were lost, but ten cars!"
One car is less than four thousand taels.
This money won't kill your Lord Jia's stomach!
didn't want to, but Master Jia shook his sleeves angrily and said angrily: "You are the official to ask for rice flowers!" Tell you, the monthly expenses of the master in the Hutong in Beijing are more than 4,000 taels! ”
This is a gold sticker for himself, and if he really has this expense, he will not always pull Chang Bingzhong to climb the window and jump over the wall to escape the order.
At least a few of the Eight Great Hutongs did not welcome him, Young Master Jia.
The surname Peng is too grinding, and he doesn't understand the leader's mind at all.
"No, no, there is no such thing as a lowly position!"
Peng Xiaohan understands it, the heart of this Eight Banners is dark!
turned his heart sideways, and once again said that he had just counted wrongly, and the silver that the thieves had robbed was twelve carts, more than 40,000 taels.
"Really, Lao Lu?"
At this point, Lu Ada didn't understand what it meant, and hurriedly turned his head a little heavier: "Yes, yes, more than 40,000 taels." ”
Master Jia was angry: "You can't eat dry food, and you can still count the lost salary!" Go, count again! ”
After stacking these words, Jia Liu came out of the forest unhappily, beckoned to Yang Yuchun, who was a bodyguard and thug, and asked him where the bear had gone.
"Oops!"
Yang Yuchun found out that Hua Dog Bear was not in the team, so he hurriedly went to look for it, and found this guy between two big stones.
The dog was cowering inside, afraid that he would be frightened by the sound of the gun just now.
When he dragged the bear out and brought it to Master Jia, the sentinel surnamed Peng came over again.
"My lord, we counted it again, and it was not twelve cars that we lost, but fifteen cars."
This number is the result of Peng Xiaohan's repeated discussions with Lu Ada, because it can't be more.
I don't want Lord Jia to reply to the two of them: "Check again." ”
The voice was flat, but the unhappiness in it was obviously a little more than just now.
"This..."
Peng Xiaohan and Lu Ada's reluctance to count again, and the third time they reported that there were 20 cars missing, and 70,000 taels of military pay were lost.
Seventy thousand taels?
Jia Liu began mental arithmetic.
Seven minus 3.6 is 3.4.
How much silver is a platform on the small donation list I saw in the capital that day?
Just when Jia Liuxin was calculating whether the silver was enough, Peng Xiaohan thought that Lord Jia was still unwilling to be satisfied, so he had to remind: "My lord, you can't eat too much." ”
