Chapter 115: A Fire
Su Changhai knew what was on the burned painting boat, and even during this time, he was trying to find a way to transfer it.
It's just that after so long, he hasn't been ready yet.
At this time, the painting boat suddenly caught fire, and at this time, he looked at the burning painting boat and felt distressed.
That's 100,000 taels of silver, according to the previous agreement, as long as the silver can be transported out of Songzhou City, he can get 30% of the silver, that is, 30,000 taels.
Don't underestimate these 30,000 taels, it is true that Su Changhai is the person in charge of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce in Songzhou, but his own personal property is only tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Today, he seems to have spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, but these silver are all from the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, and he knows that the things he bought are worth it, and the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce will not blame him.
Yang Zhi didn't even tell Lao Feng about the painting boat, so Feng Zhongyao didn't know about it.
At this time, he and Jin Zixuan stood together, both worried.
First, as soon as Jin Zixuan took office, this incident happened, no matter what, it was more than a dozen lives.
If it's an accident, it's fine, but if someone deliberately set it on fire, then it's a big deal.
The girls on the painting boat, those are all the former Oiran of Songzhou City, who knows if there are any big people behind her.
"Lao Feng, this thing is very weird!"
Jin Zixuan opened his mouth and said: "You are familiar with Songzhou, you said this matter, will you come for me." ”
The two of them stood to one side and spoke, and the men under them were far away.
Feng Zhongyao's gaze shrank slightly, and Yang Zhi's figure also appeared in his mind for a moment, but he shook his head again, feeling that Yang Zhi didn't seem to have to do this!
"Let's let people check first, who is on this boat!"
Feng Zhongyao said softly: "It should be just a coincidence, in case it's just an accident, maybe it's not enough." ”
Having said that, he himself felt that it was impossible, Songzhou had not had any accidents for a long time, but at this time, there was a sudden fire to the painting boat, which was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
It's as if something is completely out of his control.
"My people have already investigated, the girl who made it above was once the Oiran of Wanhualou, and she was ransomed two years ago, as for who ransomed her, she has to wait for Wanhualou's reply."
Jin Zixuan sighed: "You also know the background behind Wanhualou, if they are unwilling to disclose the news, there is nothing I can do." ”
Feng Zhongyao nodded, but said with a smile on his face: "Then you can go to Uncle Zhongyong for this matter, and the relationship between him and Wanhualou should be able to be asked." ”
Jin Zixuan's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that Yang Zhi and Wanhualou still had a relationship, but I don't know if it was because of that big man.
But he thought about it, the one behind Wanhualou might not even give face to this big man!
Thinking about it like this, he attached more importance to Yang Zhi's identity, remembered the entrustment of the big man, and finally had a score in his heart.
The entire city of Songzhou was alarmed by the burning of a painting boat, and several frightening news came out of the city.
Some people say that this is the work of robbers, that is, to kill and rob.
Some people say that the girl in the painting boat offended the big man, which is why this incident happened.
Some people also say that the girl on the painting boat is a good friend of Ma Dayuan, the former Xiping guard.
In short, there is everything, but there has not been such a big event in Songzhou City for a long time, which makes many people feel that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
Among them, the most apprehensive one in his heart must be Su Changhai, because he knew that there were 100,000 taels of silver on the painting boat, and he seemed to be the only one in the entire Songzhou City.
Su Changhai, who returned to Su Mansion, immediately sent someone to investigate, you know, this 100,000 taels of silver, but someone has already asked for it, and now that the silver is lost, none of the people on the painting boat will definitely not survive.
I'm afraid it's hard for him to communicate with the people above, because he is the only one left who knows about it.
In the Zhongyong Mansion, Yang Zhi had a deep smile on his face.
"Uncle Chen, remember to go and collect this silver early tomorrow morning, this silver is still in your own hands and feel at ease!"
Uncle Chen smiled and said, "Young master, don't worry, I promise to give you all this silver tomorrow to get it back." ”
Yang Zhi also knew that in this Songzhou City, probably no one dared to repay the debt, unless he didn't want to live.
Today's birthday auction was really successful, in addition to a pile of rotten glass products sold silver, there were also a bunch of gifts from these people.
Or, wait a while, and have another birthday.
Wu Qianqian looked at Yang Zhi's smile on the side, and guessed that he must have some bad idea in his heart.
"Do we still have to sell those in our warehouse?"
Yang Zhi looked at her and said, "Of course I want to sell it, but not now, they just got these treasures, if they know that I still have the same, these people will not swallow me." ”
Yang Zhi still has this self-knowledge, just kidding, these things are precious because they are scarce, if they appear in large quantities, it will be the same as in his world, worthless things, no one will pick them up on the street.
"After a while, we can buy these things in Jiangnan and sell them to the capital, and when the time comes, we will make a lot of money!"
The more Yang Zhi spoke, the more excited he became, he didn't have the slightest psychological pressure to pit the money of these rich and unconscionable magnates.
These people are all rich and unkind guys anyway, and they should be robbing the rich and helping the poor.
Now that the money is available, even those who Ma Dayuan embezzled have been recovered, and it is time to pay the military salary owed by Xiping Pass.
So the next day, Yang Zhi dragged dozens of carriages of silver and went directly to Xipingguan.
Everyone knows that Yang Zhi made money last night, so it seems normal for him to drag the silver to Xipingguan today.
What surprised many people was that Yang Zhi was using his own money to pay his military salary.
There are only 15,000 of the 20,000 defenders in Xipingguan, only Yang Zhi and Lao Feng know that for outsiders, the arrears of three months' military salaries, 20,000 people, that is a full 60,000 taels of silver.
This is only the military salary of ordinary soldiers, as well as the military salaries of captains, centurions, thousand-commanders, and adjutant generals.
Xiping Guan, it has already taken on a new look, because of the change of guards, Yang Zhi has developed a new training method, plus a batch of military funds have been deployed before, the soldiers have winter clothes, and they can eat enough, so they naturally work very hard.
And this time, Yang Zhi brought military salaries, which also made the soldiers who were still uneasy in their hearts completely relieved.
Looking at the excited expressions of tens of thousands of soldiers lining up to lead the army, Yang Zhi knew that as long as he was given some more time, the defenders of less than 20,000 would become terrible killing machines.
Sometimes Yang Zhi even wondered if he was doing the right thing, which could be regarded as changing the overall quality of the army in this era.
