Chapter 106: Finding a Secret
Chapter 307: Finding a Secret
It was late at night, and after solving the matter of the white envoy, Lu Ziqian rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, sat in the circle chair and sighed softly.
Cheng Ye on the side hurriedly came up and gently kneaded his shoulders and neck.
The people next to him had already retreated, and he suddenly asked Cheng Ye: "You say, how true are the words that Lao Bai said today?" ”
Talking to Lu Ziqian, you must be careful, Cheng Ye cheered up, thought for a while before saying tentatively: "I think he is really heart-to-heart for the mad dog, we asked Zheng Jun's people to send the news out, in fact, we are not sure that we will be able to catch this big fish, but they still came, proving that they really care about the mad dog." He knows very well in his heart, the life and death of the mad dog are in our hands, if they dare to give us a fake secret letter, then it will be impossible for the mad dog to leave Da Zhou with him, in the end, we still hold the initiative. ”
These words really caught Lu Ziqian's heart, and Lu Ziqian slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Also, as long as they haven't left Da Zhou, their lives are in our hands, and we are not afraid that they will turn out of the sky." ”
After he said this, he suddenly laughed a few words.
It seems to be some great joy.
Cheng Ye has been waiting on the side, and only after Lu Ziqian finished laughing did he bow down: "Congratulations to Master Horse for fulfilling his wish!" If you can get this treasure up this time, it's a great credit. ”
Where and how those treasures were hidden is still a problem for them.
At such a big price back then, it was precisely because they wanted to privately swallow this batch of treasures that they would ignore the lives and deaths of the king of Pingjiang and the crown prince, but the matter was completed, but in the end they couldn't find where the money went.
Zheng Qian is cautious, no one believes it, so that he hides things like this, he hides things tightly, unless he gets a treasure map and tokens, otherwise, no one can think of taking out that silver.
Nowadays, the treasure map and secret letter are things that were taken by the white envoy -—— that is, Kong Bingsen back then.
Lu Ziqian's brows moved, and he didn't say anything more, just glanced at the dishes that had barely moved, and said in a deep voice: "Let people come up and clean up." ”
Cheng Ye hurriedly agreed, and looked at his face again: "Don Ma, it's so late, do you see it, are you going to Miss Xiangyu?" ”
Lu Ziqian has always cared about women, but since Xiangyu came to Baoding Mansion, he has treated Xiangyu differently.
Today's new girls didn't seem to have anyone he particularly liked, so Cheng Ye mentioned Xiangyu's name.
Sure enough, Lu Ziqian didn't think much about it, and nodded directly: "Go over." ”
Cheng Ye hurriedly went to arrange it.
When Lu Mingwei returned to the inn, it was already late, but Xu's mother still hadn't slept and had been waiting for her, and when she saw her come back, she couldn't wait to chant Buddha, so she hurriedly stepped forward and took her hand and walked into the room: "Why did you come back so late?" It's been a few waves of people patrolling outside, and I'm worried that you'll bump into it when you come back, so I'm so worried. ”
Mother Xu was careful, the hot water was always boiling, and at this time she hurriedly ordered the guards to bring it up, and she waited for Lu Mingwei to wash up, and changed all the clothes for Lu Mingwei, before she whispered: "Girl, let's come out for three or four days." ”
Originally, I told Lu Mingxi to go out, but I said that I would only come out for a day or two.
Although Lu Mingwei later sent someone back to report the news, Lu Mingxi and Lu Yunting were not afraid of anything, at most they were worried about this, and they were afraid that Lu Xianzong would get to the bottom of it.
A girl, like this, without an elder, it is not good to stay outside for a long time, Xu's mother persuaded a few words, and then stopped talking.
Lu Mingwei understood Xu's mother's worries, and shook Xu's mother's hand: "Don't worry, I know in my heart, this matter is almost done, and we can return to Beijing the day after tomorrow." ”
It's not that I'm not worried, after all, Cui Minglou is also there.
Mother Xu saw that Lu Mingwei knew it in her heart, but she still insisted, and knew that this must be a great thing, so she didn't say anything more: "It's good that the girl knows it in her heart." ”
put a tent for Lu Mingwei, and went to lie down on the bed next to him.
The moonlight sprinkled faintly on the ground through the window paper, Lu Mingwei turned over, and went through the words of Lu Ziqian and those people tonight in her mind, and set off a huge wave in her heart.
If there was no huge profit drive, Lu Ziqian had the courage to dare to participate in the Northwest Rebellion, what was the Northwest Rebellion to cover up who was there, or rather, who was the person who instructed the matter to cover up so tightly?
Now it seems that the purpose of these people is also very obvious, for the sake of the batch of military salaries that Zheng Qian swallowed.
Now that I calculate it carefully, the military salary that Zheng Qian swallowed back then was not more than one million taels of silver.
One million taels of silver is only a military salary, and there should also be a pension for the fallen soldiers, and the food and salary raised by the big families and gentry in the northwest at that time.
No wonder they have to take risks, these add up, at least no less than two million taels of silver.
More than two million taels, no matter who wants to swallow it, they have to eat it in one bite to become a fat man.
Who has such a big appetite?
Zheng Qian?
He was dead, and he didn't get any of the money.
Lu Ziqian?
Although Lu Ziqian is a lieutenant, he has no actual military power, and secondly, when there was an accident in the northwest that year, he was just responsible for the aftermath with the Qincha team after the accident, and he couldn't touch the core things.
In other words, he had something to do with it, but he certainly wasn't the actual mastermind.
So the people behind the scenes
Lu Mingwei narrowed her eyes.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess that there are only a few people who can have such means to reach the sky, and even Lu Ziqian and Zheng Qian are lackeys.
The cabinet elders, the ministers, and the two princes.
No one else has the skills and abilities to do so.
And these people are inside
Lu Mingwei analyzed for a while and slowly closed her eyes.
Cui Minglou couldn't sleep at all, and the information he got today was enough to keep him awake all night.
He sat on the roof, looking at the gambling house opposite, with mixed emotions in his eyes.
As far as the rules are concerned, he still has to call the horse uncle.
This colt is the best colt in the court and has the best reputation in the clan, everyone says that he is an honest man, but he didn't expect that such an honest man is the manipulator of this gambling house behind his back.
Xiushui stopped beside him silently and called out softly, Your Highness.
Cui Minglou glanced up at him: "Where is the white envoy now, have you found it?" ”
Xiushui nodded, and replied to him in a low voice: "Don't worry, Yuanshan will follow him personally, and nothing will go wrong." ”
The distant mountains fell silently on the thick branches, and by the cover of the night and the shade of the trees, they hid their figures tightly and without any flaws.
The white envoy didn't notice this, he hurried up the stairs with the reluctant mad dog through the big tree, almost pulling the mad dog forward all the way.
Mad Dog was reluctant to follow him, and when he finally got upstairs, he immediately shook off the white envoy's hand and said impatiently, "Okay?" I have to go back to sleep, I don't have time to spend time with you here. ”
The white envoy was suddenly a little anxious: "Ah Zhao, don't you know me?" I'm your big brother! ”
Big brother is not big brother, these things were on the table before, Lu Ziqian and Chengye who should be talking about it have already told Mad Dog, and Mad Dog also knows that the person in front of him is his brother.
But over the years, he has grown up with Lu Ziqian.
It's really not that important to him if his brother is not his brother.
He let out a disinterested groan, turned and walked away.
The white envoy was a little too anxious, and suddenly stepped forward to stop him: "Ah Zhao! I came back from Warat with great difficulty, just to find you and take you with me! You must come with me this time! ”
His tone was hurried, because this courtyard was assigned to him, and he didn't allow people from the gambling house to come in, so he didn't have any scruples when he spoke, although he still lowered his voice, but his words were very clear: "Back then, our father was just to help Zheng Qian, so he was hunted down and killed and left outside the gate. They were able to blackmail my father, and it was because of my father who threatened you that my father always told me that I must find you! ”
The mad dog seemed to be listening to someone else's story, and there was no too violent reaction, at least not the reaction that the white envoy wanted to see.
The white envoy was a little annoyed: "Lu Ziqian is not a good thing, he has kept you all these years, just to fish us out, let us hand over the secret letter and treasure map they wanted, do you know?" Why are you unmoved? ”
Mad Dog looked at him gloomily: "How should I move?" ”
