Chapter 81: Counting is counting
The reason why you have to wear gloves is to prevent people from peeking at it, because the letter has been quenched with poison, and if it is not detoxified in time, it will soon be poisoned and killed.
Zhang Xun had a maid who added fragrance to his red sleeves in the study some time ago, and after reading the letter secretly because of curiosity, he ended up with large black patches all over his body, which was very scary, and where were the peach blossoms on weekdays.
With this experience, Zhang Xun will never forget to wear gloves every time he comes to see the letter.
At this time, he opened the latest letter that his brother-in-law had written to him, which said that someone in Beijing would come to get the silver.
Zhang Xun was a little heartbroken, there was so much silver on the ground, but only a few of it really fell into his pocket, and he was busy for so long, but he was making clothes for others.
But thinking about the identity of that person, he was calm again, and now his flesh hurts, and when that person goes up, his benefits will be as much as he wants.
Speaking of which, thanks to his brother-in-law threading the needle in it, otherwise, with his own small prefect, how could he have a relationship with that person?
But I don't know who he will send to get the money, but I still have to curry favor with him, and let him go back and say a few kind words for himself.
At this time, the voice of a subordinate suddenly came from outside the door.
"Master, someone from the house said he was looking for you, and he is waiting in the hall now."
Zhang Xun secretly thought, could it be the envoy who came to get money? Then you can't afford to slack off.
He hurriedly came out of the secret room, closed the mechanism again, and arranged his clothes before walking to the hall.
When I saw the hall, the man was drinking tea leisurely, his expression was very calm, and when he saw Zhang Xun, he got up and saluted.
"Hello Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Xun was still not sure who he was at this time, and asked tentatively, "I don't know where this one came from?" ”
The man smiled slightly: "The lowly post came from Beijing, and he was sent by someone to find the lord." ”
After that, he took out a sign from his arms and held it up to Zhang Xun to see.
Seeing the four words on it, Zhang Xun was very surprised, the brand should be the one, he actually asked people to take this sign to find him, then he would definitely not recognize the wrong person.
"The lower officials have missed the distance, and I hope the envoy will forgive me, I don't know how the eldest prince is doing recently?" Zhang Xun hurriedly saluted and asked.
The man's eyes were slightly dilated, as if he was surprised, but they returned to normal in an instant. Zhang Xun, who lowered his head, missed the change in his expression.
The person who spoke to Zhang Xun was none other than Su Muwan!
Originally, Su Muwan took the token given by Shangguan Chen, originally wanting to create an identity for herself to scare Zhang Xun and see if she could get anything out of his mouth.
So she spoke to Zhang Xun very vaguely, only saying that she was from the capital and sent someone to find him, she originally wanted to say that someone in Beijing ordered her to investigate Zhang Xun.
But he didn't expect Zhang Xun to be wrong, and directly recognized her as the person who came to get money from the capital, and directly said the last person behind the scenes.
It's actually Shangguan Qian?
Su Muwan's face was not obvious, but at this time, her heart was full of shock, if Shangguan Qian was the person who was sent to withdraw the money, it didn't mean that all this was planned by him.
She was a little incredulous in her heart, although she knew that Shangguan Qian was not as gentle as jade and humble as he pretended, but she didn't expect him to do such a thing.
After taking off the mask, is he actually such a person?
He still wants to sit on the throne like this, if he really goes up, I'm afraid that the people of the world will suffer!
Su Muwan's mind tumbled a lot, and finally decided to plan the plan, so she pretended to be someone sent by Shangguan Qian to see what other evidence could be found.
So she looked at Zhang Xun and smiled slightly: "The eldest prince is all right, when I came, he also asked me to pass a message to you and Qingcheng Taishou, saying that the two of you are doing very well, and he will value the two more in the future." ”
When Zhang Xun heard Su Muwan say this, his heart was simply happy, saying that he had been appreciated by Shangguan Qian, and it was really not in vain to pay so much silver.
"It is our honor to be able to do things for the eldest prince, and I hope that the special envoy will turn around and tell us that we will definitely do our best in the future." Zhang Xun smiled at Su Muwan with a flattering face.
Su Muwan nodded, "I must tell you for my lord, but I don't know if my lord is ready for what the eldest prince wants?" ”
"It's all ready, just wait for the envoy to come and get it, the envoy might as well go with me."
Zhang Xun now can't wait for Su Muwan to hurry up and bring all the silver back to the capital, so that Shangguan Qian can quickly know his ability.
Su Muwan followed Zhang Xun all the way to the study, and couldn't help laughing as she watched him open the secret room step by step.
"Master Zhang is really thoughtful, I'm afraid that no one can find such a Tibetan method."
Zhang Xun was a little proud when he heard her praise herself: "Don't hide it from the envoy, the secret room of Xiaguan is designed by himself, and then made by skilled craftsmen, you see that there are basically no guards in Xiaguan's mansion, just because of this secret room, I feel very at ease." ”
Su Muwan nodded, Zhang Xun was really thoughtful, but the first time Mo Yan Mo Yu came to his study, he found his secret room, if Zhang Xun knew, I don't know how to feel.
Entering the secret room, Zhang Xun pointed to a few boxes of silver on the ground, "Special envoy, please see, this is what I prepared for the eldest prince." ”
Su Muwan nodded and praised her face, looking very agreeable: "It seems that Master Zhang really remembered the instructions of the eldest prince in his heart, and the eldest prince will definitely be very happy after seeing it." ”
After speaking, Su Muwan's eyes began to look around in this small secret room, and finally his vision fell on the letter on the desk.
"It's better for Lord Zhang to be cautious and put this letter in the secret room."
I was curious in my heart, were the letters on it the ones that made Mo Yan poisoned?
Hearing Su Muwan talk about the letter, Zhang Xun replied: "The envoy doesn't know anything, in order to prevent someone from peeking, Xiaguan's brother-in-law and I also came up with a good way." ”
Su Muwan raised her eyebrows, "Oh, what's a good way?" ”
Zhang Xun thought a little about being pretentious, took out a pair of gloves and put them on his hands, stepped forward and pinched a letter, pointed to this and said to Su Muwan.
"Does the envoy know what we did to this letter?"
Su Muwan shook her head, and the curiosity on her face made Zhang Xun a little proud.
"The envoy doesn't know, this letter has been quenched with poison by us, as long as you touch it with your hands, you will be poisoned, this poison is a strange poison we specially found, named Wuxue, when the poison hair will grow a piece of black on the body, when it grows all over the body, it will be poisoned to death, and there is no medicine stone."
"Why is it okay to hold the letter?" Su Muwan saw that his gloves were not the same as the ordinary ones.
Sure enough, hearing Su Muwan ask, Zhang Xun put down the letter, took off one of his gloves, and held it with his other hand and said.
"This kind of glove has a layer of cloth woven from gold silk on the outside, and it can be carried without poison."
Su Muwan took a closer look, the outside of the glove was sparkling, shining with a golden fine light, and it really made a difference.
Seeing that Su Muwan seemed to be very interested in this glove, Zhang Xun asked with a very eyed look: "There is just another pair on the Xiaguan Mansion, if the envoy is interested, the Xiaguan will give it to the envoy." ”
Su Muwan was overjoyed in her heart, "That's great, I'll thank Master Zhang for my humble position." ”
With this, let Mo Yan and the others come again tonight, and you can know what the letter says.
"Special envoy, do you need to send someone to help the envoy move out of these boxes?" Zhang Xun asked.
Su Muwan waved her hand, and her tone was very free, "Don't bother Lord Zhang, just let the people brought by the lowly position move by themselves." ”
After that, Su Muwan gave Mo Yan and Mo Yu a few people behind her, and several people came over and carried a few heavy boxes of silver onto the carriage outside.
Outside the gate, Mo Yan and Mo Yu and the others had already put all the silver on the carriage, and Su Muwan stood in front of the carriage, refusing Zhang Xun's request to stay for a few days.
"Lord Zhang, there are other tasks on my humble body, and I really forgive my fate." Su Muwan looked at Zhang Xun with a look of embarrassment.
Seeing this, Zhang Xun took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and stuffed them into Su Muwan's hand, "Then the lower official will not be kept, but if the envoy brings it to the eldest prince, I hope the envoy will convey it." ”
Su Muwan felt the thickness of the silver ticket under her hand, at least a few thousand taels, and it seemed that this Zhang Xun was not less in his pocket.
She nodded and smiled meaningfully at Zhang Xun, "Naturally, naturally, the lowly will naturally tell the eldest prince about Lord Zhang's hard work." ”
Hearing her say this, Zhang Xun smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
In the end, Zhang Xun looked at the carriage that had disappeared in the same place, felt that his position as a high-ranking official was within reach, and he had a good dream of being promoted to become rich.
on the carriage.
Su Muwan asked Mo Yan to pretend to be out of the city first, and then changed to another carriage prepared in advance outside the city, and several people dressed up in disguise, changed their faces and returned to Xin'an from the gate.
"Mo Yan, you will take a few people to guard near this city gate, and once you find the people sent by Shangguan Qian, you will immediately kill them, so as not to cause chaos to our future plans."
Su Muwan instructed Mo Yan, Mo Yan's secret weapon was extremely good, and this kind of assassination was easy for him.
"Mo Yu, you wear this pair of gloves, go to Zhang Xun's mansion tonight and see what is written in a few letters."
Mo Yu nodded, took the gloves handed over by Su Muwan, and was very curious about this.
"What about the princess, what about the contents of this box?"
Mo Yu asked, he had seen it in the box before, and there were tens of thousands of taels of silver, and he didn't know what to do with it.
The corners of Su Muwan's mouth curled, "Let's go to the dart bureau and find someone to escort the silver to the capital, why don't you want the money for nothing." ”
Besides, since this money is taken from the people, although it cannot be used by the people now, it cannot be left to these corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
