Chapter 68: Quiet as a sick cat, moving like a mad dog

"Which one did you listen to?"

Let's not talk about whether the words life and death are exaggerated. How did the movement of this inner city enter Hu Xiaodao's ears?

"What the summer envoy said, how can it be false?"

Su Mu? Also, I heard that I went back to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion two days ago. It makes sense to be reminded.

"By the way, Xia Envoy let me give this to you. said that it was brought by a stinky chess basket, and he also gave one to the prime minister. ”

Stinky chess basket? Isn't that the border army strategist that Chai Sanhu said before? How did Su Mu get involved with the border army.

Before, let the writing of the private army training method be brought over. Shouldn't you go to Chai Mansion first and then hand it over?

Xu hurriedly opened the envelope. Sure enough, I saw a letter that was not short, in the font of silver hook and iron painting.

Many details of the private army from selection to actual combat are discussed. Even the diet during training is well defined.

"Prime Minister, why did she suddenly think of cutting off the big businesses in the inner city? The Chai Chamber of Commerce alone is too thin. ”

Xu Ku frowned. There was no secret report from Dongchang before, but now I know what a behemoth the Xiao family is.

No wonder the dream is worry-free, so I can only endure it. The military power of the Xiao family was put aside, and only the silver pinched Daluan's neck.

At least eighty percent of the silver in this big mountain is going around and around to pass through the hands of the Xiao family, and it is all operating clearly.

Under the guise of protecting the country, the face is full of bridges and roads, and the righteous acts of disaster relief and relief cannot be moved at all.

"What else? It's just that I heard that you were purified, but you can't be angry, this is even willing to give up your life. ”

"Why don't you run out with me like a golden cicada and persuade the prime minister to go back?" Hu Xiaodao said.

Xu Ku's chest was blazing. Wei Hongluan was able to do this for him.

But then his face turned bitter, "Knife, I'm afraid it's hard for your bitter brother to pull out his legs." His Majesty refused to let him leave the palace. ”

", who are you when you are, Your Majesty rarely cares about your. If you don't hide in a box, I'll carry you out. ”

Just when Hu Xiaodao was puzzled, there was a soft knock on the door. I realized what kind of realm I was in.

"Bitter Brother ......"

"Come in." Just listen to Xu Ku said in a deep voice.

Isn't it crazy? Shouldn't it be hidden at this time? This house is so hanging that it will be demolished, and it would be stupid to be caught.

The factory guard who entered the house looked at the mess and was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly lowered his head and pretended not to see it, and even sweated.

Even Xiao Dezi, the red man next to Da Qingyi, was stunned, not to mention an ordinary eunuch like him.

"Qiyu factory duke, Qing Gonggong found that the big households in the inner city spent 50,000 cash from the ticket number. Let the subordinates run back first to report the news. ”

Xiao Dezi's efficiency is so fast that Xu Ku nodded with satisfaction, "Our family knows, let him be in the Qin Shuai Mansion." ”

"Today, these two hundred people must be elected, our family needs it urgently, and we will pay double salaries this month."

"The subordinates retired."

The factory guard went out of the house and gently closed the door. It is like a little daughter-in-law who serves the bridegroom's officials.

"Bitter, bitter brother......"

Hu Xiaodao's mouth could stuff two duck eggs, and his fingers couldn't help shaking when he pointed at Xu Ku. I saw Xu nodding bitterly.

"Dongchang is now your bitter brother's territory. Can you run a monk, can you still run a temple......"

"This, I, oops, oops...... I'll go. ”

I never dreamed that Xu Ku was this mysterious factory father. The factory is matched with a demon appearance, and he is very obedient.

"Then I'll go back."

Hu Xiaodao did not hesitate, stood up and left. If you can't bring people back, it's good to bring back the news that you haven't cleansed.

Xu Ku nodded, "Give me the Prime Minister's excerpt, and it happens that Your Majesty wants to see you in the evening, so I will hand it over." ”

"Someone has already handed the excerpt."

"Who?"

"When I met a eunuch, I saw that he was dressed quite generously. It seems that the surname is Liu. No problem. Hu Xiaodao scratched his head.

"Father-in-law Liu? Is it a white-faced eunuch in his forties, the one with a scar at the corner of his eye? Xu asked with a frown.

"Yes, yes. This is the man, dressed in a purple robe. ”

Xu pondered for a long time, and said helplessly: "Then you can't leave." This person is the loyal dog of the Xiao family, and I almost fell on the road last time. ”

With a churn in the pile of secret reports, Xu Ku carefully read the part of the dormitory supervisor Liu Gonggong.

It's a ruthless one.

The time of the disappearance of all the maids of Xian Yu Palace was listed in detail before, and the most recent was the night he met Xiao Wan. If it weren't for the old eunuch who came first. At this time, it is estimated that he has been buried with the servant girl.

It's still a little scary to look at it now.

What he relies on is nothing more than being able to do something when he flips through the sleeping sign without worry. Half of the popular goods in the harem are entrusted to this person. The money earned can be used to drive horses.

What's even fatter is that every time he helps the buyers and sellers under the Xiao family to take the goods. Someone will add another 20% of silver, which is considered a reward.

The buying and selling of other families in the harem is probably like this.

"Damn these shit."

Looking at the money-making methods in the secret report, Hu Xiaodao didn't know what to say. This old man in the inner city plucked his hair and threw it to Chuzhou, which was worth a year's hard-earned money.

"Sensei said those are useless." Xu Ku interrupted.

"The surname Liu now knows that you are a person close to the prime minister, and it is estimated that you will send someone to block it as soon as you leave the palace gate. Routine questioning by the garrison is a very ordinary means. ”

"Then who is going to deliver the letter, the prime minister Xu has already taken people to the outer city." Hu Xiaodao was in a hurry.

"I can only surround Wei to save Zhao and fight for it. You go to the Wang Mound to hide, and tell Old Man Jiang that our family will send two jars of good wine later. ”

"Spread the word to our family, gather." After Hu Xiaodao left, Xu Ku changed into a cold face.

The less Hu Xiaodao knows about this East Factory, the safer it is.

"Xiao Quanzi stayed, and the rest went to keep an eye on our family with the people related to Cao Shangshu's Mansion in the palace." Xu Ku commanded.

"The factory has instructions for calling small powers."

Xiao Quanzi's real name is Quan Xing, and he is the little eunuch who went to the Rouyi Hall with Xu Ku at the beginning.

was smashed away by the gentle mud before, but the grace of that cake has never been forgotten. When I said goodbye, the handsome little brother turned into a factory man, and now I look at Xu Ku's eyes full of admiration.

"Help our family hand this letter to Xiao Dezi who is waiting in Yulin Guard's Mansion."

"Come back alive, pull you to be a reconnaissance captain, and lead the brothers all the way."

……

In the imperial study, Dream Worry-free looked at Xu Ku coldly.

"I let Dongchang settle the case of Cao Shangshu, but Xu Qing let Yu Linwei besiege the mansion of the salt official in Beijing, what is the purpose?"

Dream Wuwu gentian patted, "Do you know how many people in the court laughed at me for raising sick cats?" ”

That's why the minister has to do this. The ministers swore to death and rose to the power of this mountain. ”

Xu Ku saluted unhurriedly, and his face was slightly pale, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Please forgive your majesty for your innocence." Xu bitter goodbye.

"If you have something to say, say it."

"The prime minister once said that the people can be rich and can settle Chu Prefecture. The minister thinks that the same is true of the rivers and mountains of this big mountain, and only when the treasury is abundant can it benefit the community. There is ample evidence that these salt officials have private salt business, and the official salt tax has not been flushed into the national treasury. No, except that it is always a scourge. ”

"There are people in this palace who are powerful, because they hold the silver."

Xu was bitter, everyone knows who he said. It has long been a dream worry-free heart disease, and if you don't want to be tempted, it's fake. It's not that I haven't dealt with it before, but all the people who were promoted after that have gone the old way.

"Knock out these salt officials, and the treasury of Daluan will be rich? It's too simplistic. ”

"For every time salt and iron, oil and wine, and cloth are struck, sixty percent of the silver goes into the treasury, and forty percent of the silver is used for business. Some traders have to be in the hands of His Majesty to feel at ease. I can grab it. ”

"In the future, the money for the relief of the victims will be personally handed over by His Majesty. It's better than giving a good name to outsiders. ”

"Your Majesty just has to be a saint, and the mad dog who bites people will be a minister."

Xu made a bitter sound.

"Xu Qing is talking about relying on the Chai Chamber of Commerce? Joke, a small chamber of commerce can turn over the sky of Wangjing? Even if I could, how could I do that businessman's business? ”

"And the prime minister." Xu smiled bitterly, "As for business, Your Majesty can't do it, what about the two Highnesses." ”

"Huh? Is Wei Hongluan willing to do this? ”

Meng Wuwu raised his head when he heard this, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.
