Chapter 287: Old Knowledge
The Xie brothers were just unable to get by with face, so they didn't continue to follow Li Kui to the capital. But after this incident, they no longer have the face to stay.
Li Kui looked at the backs of them running away when they left, and seemed to be covering his face, which showed that the two of them were also people who knew shame.
"Second brother!"
Li Yun looked at the deep Red Mansion, his eyes were a little straight, and he shouted.
Li Kuixin said, this kind of rouge and vulgar fan, isn't it weakening his reputation, he is about to go to the capital, what place in the Great Song Dynasty can compare to the prosperity of the capital. From all walks of life, which one can compare to the ultimate in Beijing?
"Li Yun, your kid has grown up, and it's time to find you a daughter-in-law. Don't worry, go back and your second brother will write a letter to Uncle Qing, and ask him to find a good-looking one for him to be his daughter-in-law. β
Li Yun snorted angrily: "Second brother, you're too disappointed, aren't you?" Besides, what my father can find is Nizi in the countryside of Yishui, how can which women be worthy of me, who is destined to be an official? β
Buying Li Yun's super confidence, Li Kui was a little stunned, and he found that he seemed to underestimate this guy.
Li Yun continued: "I want to go to the capital and find a daughter of an official eunuch as a wife. β
"Ambitious!"
In the face of Li Yun's bold words, Li Kui was quite supportive: "However, let's wait until you are admitted to the Jinshi!" After all, Tokyo City has rules for catching sons-in-law under the list, and if you are a jinshi, you won't have to worry about no eunuch waiting in line for him to choose. β
Li Yun's momentum was suddenly frustrated, and he said weakly: "Can't you have money?" β
"Rich...... It's a fart! Li Kui scolded with a smile.
For eunuchs, it really doesn't matter if they have money. Because as long as they put down their bodies, it's really easy to make money. Of course, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty who acted against the treasury were the most stupid behaviors. Even the prime minister will die ugly, regardless of how much money there is.
But it is not difficult to say that doing business, being a high-ranking official, and having a wealth of tens of thousands of yuan a year.
In addition, a large amount of land was purchased, and they were also able to live a luxurious life on land rent, so having money was not very attractive to the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the civil officials.
Li Kui and Li Yun were in Qizhou and stayed for five days.
On this day, in Huitong Qianzhuang, Zuo Nanyi finally waited for two good news.
Facing Li Kui every day, the pressure on Zuo Nanyi is too great. Li Kui didn't speak, he just looked at him, which made him uncomfortable and cold all over his body.
"Shopkeeper, find out, the Taoist you are always looking for is in Yuncheng County, Jeju. Strange to say, after the Daoist appeared in Suseong in Yunju, he set off for Jeju. You must not have guessed that this guy is hiding too deep behind his back, and it turns out that the thieves who robbed us of our silver money also live in Dongxi Village under Yuncheng. If it weren't for the fact that the Taoist we were looking for was really conspicuous, we wouldn't have been able to find the thief's lair. The people who came were excited to talk and gestur.
Zuo Nanyi hesitated for a while, and said to the visitor: "Qianjin, you did a good job this time, I will explain it to the chief shopkeeper." But we found thieves, but we lacked manpower. The people and horses who escorted the silver money before were all personal guards of the Liu family and belonged to the forbidden army. Although the number of people is small, ordinary thieves do not dare to make mistakes. But this time, they dared to rob our money ship, so they naturally relied on it. It's good for the forbidden army to bluff people, but I'm afraid it's a little worse for them to exterminate the thieves. β
The person who came was also embarrassed, where did he not know the uselessness of the forbidden army?
But when the thieves were discovered, they were helpless, which really made people angry: "Big shopkeeper, what do you think if we report to the Jeju government?" β
"It's not proper, Jeju's Zhizhou Chen Xiu doesn't care about anything, if he knows that it is the money lost by the forbidden army, at most the yamen will set up a case, and if they really want them to arrest the thieves, I'm afraid it will be perfunctory to us. Moreover, Yunseong County is an area under the joint administration of Jeju, Yunju and Puju. I'm afraid that the governors of the three states will ignore us. For now, the only way to do this is to let the chief shopkeeper find a way in the capital. Zuo Nanyi said helplessly.
A guy ran from outside the door and hurriedly handed a letter to Zuo Nanyi: "The big shopkeeper, the letter from the capital." β
After Zuo Nanyi opened it, he secretly complained, it turned out that it was the general number of the capital who urged him to escort the silver to the capital again. But now, where does he dare to ship silver?
It's not that he didn't think about finding a magistrate, but the official system of the Great Song Dynasty made people want to rebel angrily.
Zhizhou basically doesn't care about things, and the general judgment and the magistrate pass the buck to each other, and they are also afraid of things. Basically, I don't care about thieves.
In addition, there are many forbidden soldiers among the escorts, and in order to avoid suspicion, even if the civil officials have the intention to punish these thieves, most of them will not be able to do so. Anyway, they don't get involved in the affairs of the gate. Besides, the generals have their own strength, although there are not many people, but if even the thieves can't deal with it, wouldn't it be humiliating themselves?
But the Liu family originally did not have a deep foundation in the army.
Besides, although the Liu family said that there were elements of the rich village, there were not many molecules. Therefore, the Liu family will not do their best, and even if they want to contribute, I am afraid that their ability is limited.
Zuo Nanyi, who was in a dilemma, gritted his teeth and had a horizontal heart. Anyway, the proprietor is in Qizhou, or let him decide?
Thinking of this, he also knew that he had no way out. Reporting to Li Kui is not a good thing for him. On the contrary, it is a bad thing, and it is easy to be labeled as incompetent.
But Zuo Nanyi was also forced to the edge of the cliff, and he had to consider the mind of the chief shopkeeper. As a last resort, he decided to ask to see Li Kui, but before that, he needed to ask Li Kui if he was willing to meet the guy who inquired about the news.
In the small courtyard where Li Kui lived temporarily, Zuo Nanyi explained the situation, and then stood still: "The proprietor, Li Qianjin is standing outside the courtyard gate, and he is the steward who inquires about the news." On weekdays, he also does his best to protect Qian Zhuang, and he is a person who can be trusted. β
"Well, tell him in!"
Zuo Nanyi has already said this, and Li Kui naturally has no opinion. It's just that he's a little strange, and the name Li Qianjin seems a little familiar.
Zuo Nanyi called Li Qianjin, and when he entered the door, he told him to deal with it carefully and not to anger the owner.
But when Li Qianjin saw Li Kui sitting in the hall, with no one left and right, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Are you?" β
Li Kui took a look, it turned out to be an acquaintance, but Li Qianjin seemed to be getting worse and worse, and when he first saw it, he was still a small colonel of the Imperial City Division, and he was considered a military attachΓ©, as if he was an eight-rank official.
After the eunuch Shang he protected was killed by Zhang Dian in Yizhou, the Imperial City Division could not go back.
After that, he worked hard to find a job and took refuge in Gao Xiaoli, a member of the Gao clan in Yingzhou, but when Gaojiazhuang was besieged, he didn't rush back because he went to inquire about the news.
Gao Xiaoli's Gaojiazhuang was almost breached, but the leader of the martial arts under his command was gone, and the richest man in Yingzhou, Master Gao, muttered in his heart, the chief martial artist he recruited was estimated to have a ghost in his heart.
As a result, Li Qianjin lost his job again.
met the shopkeeper Qiu recruiting troops in Yingzhou, so he relied on his martial arts to find a guard in Qianzhuang to do. Two years have passed. I thought that Li Qianjin thought that he would dedicate his life to Huitong Money, but he didn't expect that the proprietor that the big shopkeeper took him to see turned out to be Li Kui.
Li Kui said with a smile: "General Li, you are very surprising!" β
"Where is the general." Li Qianjin felt that the world was impermanent, but he complained bitterly: "There is no good thing to meet you, and it is estimated that my business as a housekeeper has come to an end." β
"Who said they were going to quit you?" Li Kui looked at Li Qianjin strangely, this person's face is not black, it is Yintang's black shiny, and his luck is not as good as a year. Li Kui didn't plan to quit Li Qianjin, this luck was not good, but when Li Kui saw him for the first time, he was also a captain officer in charge of a hundred people in the Imperial City Division, and his ability was naturally not bad, but his luck was outrageous.
However, this time, the luck of Li Qianjin was so good that he not only heard the traces of Gongsun Sheng that Li Kui wanted to find.
Even the lair of the robber who robbed the Qizhou branch of Huitong Money Village was found, although he didn't know the origin of the other party. But I guessed that the robbers were afraid that someone would report the news.
Li Kui pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Is it the problem of Qian Zhuang?" β
Zuo Nanyi didn't expect Li Qianjin to set himself on fire, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said sadly: "The proprietor, the guys in the money village don't know about the escort of the silver vault, how can they go to ventilate and report the news?" As for the escorted prohibitions, they don't know about the escorted goods at all? β
Inside and out, Zuo Nanyi means to shout grievances.
Li Kui said: "Let's put this matter aside for the time being, let's talk about the matter of Dongxi Village in Yuncheng first." β
Li Qianjin hesitated for a while, and then said: "Proprietor, Li guesses that there are a few people who may have appeared in Yingzhou back then. β
"Yingzhou?" Li Kui hesitated for a while, and then thought of the battle in Gaojiazhuang, the six villains in Jieyang Town were really brave, and he was a little overwhelmed by himself. If it weren't for Shi Wengong at that time, I am afraid that he would have to flee in the end.
Of course, when Shi Wengong faced Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Mu Hong and others alone, I am afraid that there is only one way to go, that is, to escape.
Even the bold Li Kui had a bit of a headache in the face of this group of people, and he couldn't cope with it alone. Suddenly I thought of someone, if he was there, no matter how many people came, it would be no problem.
Li Kui said to Li Qianjin: "Give you a fast horse, how many days can you reach Guangji Junzhou?" β
Li Qianjin thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Two days, as long as two days." β
Li Kui immediately repaired a book, and then handed it to Li Qianjin and said: "You give this letter to Cheng Zhijie, the guerrilla general of the Tiger Battalion, and ask him to transfer someone." β
"Let's get ready." Li Qianjin is also a simple person, and he was ready to leave immediately.
Li Kui saw that Zuo Nanyi hadn't left, and said curiously: "Is there anything else?" "For him, Gongsun Sheng's matter is very tricky, mainly because he doesn't know why this guy can't get along with him. Just for what kind of morality? This guy isn't a human.
Curiosity prompted him to ask for clarification.
As for Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Mu Hong and others, since they are enemies, they must cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Zuo Nanyi said anxiously: "The proprietor of Qiqi, the chief shopkeeper wants to allocate a batch of silver to the capital, but now the Qizhou branch is not able to transport ...... at all."
Li Kui waved his hand and said: "This matter is simple, when the person I transferred comes, I will escort you." β
Zuo Nanyi was suddenly stupid, he didn't have the heart to let the proprietor escort the money! If you let Qiu Mingren and the shopkeeper Qiu know, you won't pick his skin?
