Chapter 103: The Value of Intelligence

Bailuting's words made Zhu Gui understand his position.

He didn't want to take refuge in himself, but wanted to be an intelligence dealer, but it was different from Hu Shidao, who he had cultivated.

Hu Shidao's identity was arranged for him by Zhu Gui, but this Egret Pavilion wanted to use his own Jinyi Wei identity to make money.

However, Zhu Gui was not only not angry, but was a little happy.

Originally, he was still worried about Bailu Pavilion's position, afraid that he would rebel against him in the future, but now this kind of business of using money to buy intelligence is naturally the most beneficial to him.

"What kind of information can you get for a thousand taels?"

Zhu Gui said in a tentative tone.

A thousand taels was just a small amount of money to him, but he didn't want to be too cheap for the other party.

A bright light flashed in Bailu Pavilion's eyes, and he realized that he had met the lord this time, but he immediately returned to his serious expression.

"Zhu Di, the king of Jin, once said bad things about the prince to the emperor at the prince's birthday banquet, although there is no definite information yet, but the last incident is likely to be related."

Egret Pavilion whispered.

Zhu Gui pondered for a while, and finally handed the other party a silver ticket of one thousand taels.

King Jin? His fief is in Taiyuan, in fact, it is not far from Yunzhou, if he is really unfavorable to Zhu Gui, it is reasonable.

If Zhu Gui dies unexpectedly or is withdrawn, then he is likely to take over Datong Mansion.

And among the kings, except for Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who has been to Datong Mansion once, only the nearest King of Jin may know the true situation of Datong Mansion.

Could it be that he coveted the wealth of Datong Mansion?

Just as Zhu Gui was groaning, Bailuting put away the silver ticket with a smile and said, "Does the acting king still want to know any other information?" ”

For him, this money is too easy to earn, and he seems to regard Zhu Gui as a big customer.

The voice of the White Egret Pavilion made Zhu Gui wake up suddenly, he couldn't be led astray by the person in front of him.

If there were other 'masters' behind this person, then what he just said was probably arching the fire.

If it was before, when Zhu Gui didn't understand the current situation in Nanjing, maybe he wouldn't have thought about it so much.

But now that there is a drama of kings seizing the heirs, he doesn't want to become a pawn of others.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gui took a deep breath, and then took out five more silver tickets: "At present, this king is not interested in anything, but regarding the internal investigation of Jinyiwei, if there is any 'unexpected progress', you must inform this king in time." ”

When Bailu Pavilion saw the silver ticket, his face was about to bloom, and he quickly put it into his sleeve and said, "It must be, this is also what the emperor ordered." ”

"No, you should know what this king is referring to." Zhu Gui said sharply.

Egret Pavilion was stunned for three seconds, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Lord Wang, you don't want to ......"

"I'm afraid this time the matter will end in the end, but this king wants to know who wants to design this king, and at the same time ......"

Zhu Gui turned to look in the direction of the soldiers of the Imperial Mansion halfway through speaking, with a playful look in his eyes.

"The next action of the Jinyi Guard, this king also wants to know."

Bailuting didn't understand Zhu Gui's thoughts at all, but since he had received the money, he agreed.

So a tense meeting ended in a secret deal.

……

When Zhu Gui returned to the Daiwang Mansion, he just caught up with Xu Yingxu, who led the team, and Xu Miaoqing, who looked eager.

Before Zhu Gui could speak, Xu Miaoqing rode to his side and said anxiously: "You fool, why didn't you ask me to go with you?" ”

"Well, you slept soundly at the time, and this king didn't want to disturb you, hey, don't fight, not next time, this king promises, this king swears."

Zhu Gui rode a horse and was chased by Xu Miaoqing around the team, and the surrounding government soldiers and guards looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

"Ahem, princess, okay, pay attention to the image." Xu Yingxu reminded loudly.

Only then did Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing return here.

"Lord Wang, I heard that the person who came was the general of the Jinyi Guard, but why did he bring the army here? What did he talk to you about? ”

Xu Yingxu asked with concern.

"Let's go back to the palace and talk about it."

Zhu Gui said.

So the three of them returned to the Daiwang Mansion, and after dismissing the palace soldiers and subordinates, Zhu Gui told the deal with the Egret Pavilion.

"I didn't expect there to be such a character in the brocade guard, and it's no wonder that they often make some outrageous moves." Xu Yingxu sighed.

"Zhu Gui, what are you going to do over there with King Jin?" Xu Miaoqing asked suddenly.

"I can only wait and see what happens, the emperor does not allow the vassal king to fight privately, and this king can't believe the words of Jinyiwei's family."

Zhu Gui said, and at the same time he remembered Hu Shidao, and just asked him to go to Taiyuan to explore the road and check the situation over there.

"The prince is right." Xu Yingxu naturally agreed with Zhu Gui's forbearance.

The three of them chatted until the evening, and then Xu Yingxu led the troops back to the garrison.

Xu Miaoqing went to the kitchen on a whim again.

Although Zhu Gui was a little worried about his stomach, because of something, he had to let it go.

He called for Hu Shidao.

The other party has been operating the network of Shanxi and several nearby provinces in the past few months, and because of the financial support of the Dai Wangfu, it can be said that he is very proud.

"Lord Wang, you look for me." The radiant Hu Shidao half-knelt in front of Zhu Gui.

"Get up and speak, have there been any unusual movements of the wealthy families in Shanxi in the past few days?" Zhu Gui asked casually.

"Several wealthy families close to Datong Mansion have some moves, and they seem to want to trade with the Mongols, but they have no way out, and they are worried about being exploited by the prince, so they are running around to unite."

Hu Shidao said with a smile.

Zhu Gui nodded, not taking this matter to heart, he continued: "This king has an important matter to be entrusted to you to do, and this time I want you to go in person. ”

Seeing Zhu Gui's solemn face, Hu Shidao immediately became serious.

"Lord Wang, please command."

"You personally go to Taiyuan to find out the movements of the Jin Palace, and this king will let the Datong Chamber of Commerce cooperate with you, and be sure to find out what is the relationship between the King and the Jin Palace."

Zhu Gui said.

Hu Shidao only hesitated for a moment, and immediately agreed.

Maybe for others, investigating a vassal king is a big crime to lose their heads, but Hu Shidao is from the Salt Gang after all, and this kind of thing has long been used to it, not to mention the backstage of the acting king.

Although he didn't know what the purpose of the acting king was, he also knew that this was not something he should know, as long as he reported everything he could find to the acting king in time.

Zhu Gui watched Hu Shidao leave, and he was immediately relieved, but then Xu Miaoqing's voice made him feel like he was on pins and needles.

But what should come is always coming.
