Chapter 16: The second boss is really a big official
Li Xiaoshan and Zhao are really the little leaders who follow Wang Jinlong in the capital.
In the cottage, after the adjustment of the two masters, the various relationships are quite smooth, the six hundred minions are divided into six hundred teams, each hundred people are subordinate to ten people and one martial arts is the sentry, Li Xiaoshan and Zhao Shi are the sentry commanders, usually these two people with their own subordinates do not leave Wang Jinlong, and they are Wang Jinlong's personal guards.
Speaking of which, in the cottage, there can be no big boss, there can be no second boss, the big boss explains, and if something happens to the second boss, they will accompany him to lose his head.
The second master walked into the city for half a day and a night and didn't come back, but Li Xiaoshan and Zhao were really anxious, what if something happened?
But they remembered Wang Jinlong's explanation before leaving, before the second master did not come back, no one was allowed to leave the carriage shop, went out to make trouble, and came back to play the board.
The two of them were in a hurry, but they couldn't think of a way.
Speaking of this carriage shop, in addition to being dirty and messy, other things are said in the past, there is food and drink, and there is also a place to sleep, which is very good.
The two of them just couldn't sit still and discussed how to go out to find Wang Jinlong.
But the capital is so big, the first time they came, their eyes were black, where should they find it?
According to the second master, he went to find the great eunuch Wang Chengen, is it okay to find Wang Chengen? The two of them thought it wouldn't work, maybe it was the guy with the missing crotch who arrested the second master.
However, the two of them combined, and they felt that it was impossible, and the two masters brought them here to send a letter to the emperor, completely for the emperor's good, there is no reason?
Just as the two of them were scratching their ears and cheeks, a small sedan chair came outside the door of the store, followed by a few people with smooth faces, and the two felt surprised.
Not only were the two surprised, but the shopkeeper was also surprised, Li Xiaoshan and Zhao really didn't know, but the shopkeeper knew, the person who came here was a servant of the emperor in the palace.
In the Ming Dynasty, who doesn't know that eunuchs are not easy to mess with?
So, the shopkeeper hurried back to his house to get the money.
Everyone who does business knows that no one in the official family can be provoked, and it is the best policy to send the two people away, if they make these people unhappy, there will be trouble in the future, and the business will not be done.
Seeing Wang Jinlong get off the sedan chair, Li Xiaoshan and Zhao Shi couldn't say how happy they were, there was no accident in the second master, this was drinking.
They saw that Wang Jinlong's face was flushed, and he looked like he had drunk too much.
However, the two don't understand, what kind of wine do the second masters drink in the middle of the night? Who are you drinking with?
Wang Jinlong just drank too much, his head was very sober, and when he saw Li Xiaoshan and Zhao Shi coming up, he said to a few little eunuchs: "You all go back, I'm here." ”
Several little eunuchs also saw Li Xiaoshan and Zhao Shi who came up, and they were all surprised, I wiped it! This nobleman who drank wine with the emperor in the middle of the night really lives in this shabby place.
Since people really live in this place, our task is completed, if the emperor asks, tell the truth, if the emperor is looking for someone, we will bring someone to this place to find it, and a few little eunuchs want to go back.
The shopkeeper walked over with a string of copper coins and handed it to one of the little eunuchs, "The official buys a cup of tea to drink." ”
The little eunuch was about to pick it up, but Wang Jinlong spoke, "Dare to ask, I'll chop off your heads tomorrow." ”
The little eunuch who reached out to take the money immediately let go, and several little eunuchs said that they shouldn't be.
Then, bowed and took the palanquin man away.
The shopkeeper wondered, why is this guest officer so powerful? One sentence scared away the people in the palace. However, with such a powerful character, why do you live in your own carriage shop? This place is generally a place for runners or small traders.
Li Xiaoshan and Zhao Shi were also surprised, what happened to the two masters? But it's pretty awesome.
The shopkeeper understood very well, and immediately took two steps forward with a smile, "Master! I'll boil some boiling water for you, and I'll send it over in a while, and you can wash it. ”
The shopkeeper guessed that this Wang Jinlong was not an ordinary person, and he no longer called the guest officer and changed his name to the master.
Wang Jinlong was really sleepy, and after drinking so much wine, he wanted to go directly to the kang to sleep when he entered the house.
There is generally no bed in the carriage shop, all of them are adobe rams, the exposed place is edged with blue bricks, all burn the kang in winter, several rooms are connected together, this head burns the fire, the chimney smokes, the winter lies on the kang and sleeps very comfortably, the summer comes, the straw mat on the bed is replaced, the mat is spread, and the sleep is also very comfortable.
"How about the second master? Have you done everything? ”
Wang Jinlong looked at Li Xiaoshan, "When did the master do something unfavorable?" ”
Li Xiaoshan replied: "That's! Is that! Second, there is nothing that is not good to do. The second is in charge, when will we go back? Can you take the time to take us into the city for a walk, the little ones are all coming to the capital for the first time, and they have to go to the palace to see everything. ”
Wang Jinlong smiled, "Okay! I said to you, my lord, I am a big official, and we will live in the capital in the future, and it will not be easy to enter the palace to see? ”
The palace is not a place where anyone can enter if they want to, but Wang Jinlong is right, these brothers will all be members of the Intelligence Bureau in the future, according to the previous rules, their status is above the Jinyi Guard, and it is not difficult to enter the palace.
"Really?" Li Xiaoshan, Zhao Shi and a few little minions who followed up were all surprised.
Wang Jinlong glared, "When did the master tell a lie?" ”
A few people thought about it, yes! The second master's Wen Taowu strategy really didn't say anything big to deceive everyone.
The shopkeeper brought hot water with a man, but it was still relatively cold at this time, and the cauldron in the store was usually hot water.
After Wang Jinlong thanked him, he wiped his face with a hot towel, washed his feet and went to sleep on the kang.
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen fell asleep on the big royal bed, and this sleep was very sweet.
A little more than an hour, Wang Chengen ran in, heard that Zhu Youzhen was asleep, thought about it and called Zhu Youzhen, "Your Majesty, you have made a fortune, you have made a fortune!" The silver is back, the silver is back. ”
Zhu Youzhen listened to it and got up, "Wang Chengen, what did you say?" ”
Wang Chengen's face was excited, "Your Majesty, you have made a fortune, what Wang Jinlong's kid said is not wrong at all, the Hui are really rich, this is just less than a third of the raids, the street is full of silver, counted, there are more than 6 million taels that have been copied out, there are only 20 silver cars in the household, a car can only pull 30,000 taels, this first trip, pulled back 600,000 taels, the old slave personally escorted back, the car is not enough!" ”
Zhu Youzhen's surprised eyes were about to pop out, so much? He didn't believe his ears a little, "Old minion, take me to see it!" ”
Outside the Qianqing Gate, twenty carts full of silver were parked there, and there were Jinyi guards and officials from the household department guarding them, and the reason why Wang Chengen ordered not to move first was to let Zhu Youzhen take a look at it first.
Zhu Youzhen didn't care about the image of the emperor, he didn't wear a hat, he came out with his hair scattered, and when he saw the cart full of silver, Zhu Youzhen was incomparably excited.
This is all Wang Jinlong's idea, hey! Where did Wang Jinlong and Wang Aiqing go, "Who is on duty?" What about my Wang Aiqing? ”
In addition to Zhang Yin, the head of the eunuch on duty, there is also Wang Xiangyao, Wang Xiangyao has already received a report from the little eunuch, and the person who drank with the emperor in the middle of the night lives in the carriage shop outside the city, at first Wang Xiangyao did not believe it, the little eunuch swore that he did not tell a lie, not Wang Xiangyao did not believe it, he knew that Wang Aiqing asked by the emperor may be this Wang Jinlong who lived in the broken carriage shop, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, a few little minions are not sensible, and the king, the king, and the king are sent to the carriage shop outside the city."
Zhu Youzhen was surprised, Wang Jinlong went to the carriage shop outside the city?
Alas, I complained that I was drunk first, and I didn't explain to Wang Aiqing to arrange a place to rest, how could Wang Aiqing live in a carriage shop outside the city?
"Wang Xiangyao, you personally bring someone to invite Wang Aiqing back to me, Wang Chengen explained, the North Post House temporarily let Wang Aiqing live, and the people who have already lived in it, whether they are officials or nobles, are all cleared by me, and explain to the officials of the post house, if you don't take good care of them, take them and ask them!"
"The old slave obeys! The old slave will arrange it, but the old slave asks for instructions, where is so much silver? ”
Wang Chengen asked knowingly.
"Let's save the inner library first!"
In fact, Wang Chengen had long known that he would definitely put it in the inner library, and the reason why he still asked was to make Zhu Youzhen happy.
Zhu Youzhen came to his senses, and stood outside the Qianqing Gate to watch the silver car change its route to the harem.
The first assistant Wei Zaode and the second assistant Fan Jingwen, who were on duty in the south study, had already come out.
Wei Zaode was surprised, "Your Majesty, where did you get so much silver?" ”
Zhu Youzhen immediately changed his face when he saw Wei Zaode, "Where did you get it?" If you want, can you? ”
Wei Zaode was immediately stunned, something was wrong with the emperor today, why did he scare him at such a happy moment for no reason.
Fan Jingwen was very happy when he saw that he got so much silver, no matter where the emperor got it, it would be good to have silver, alas, the court has no silver, and nothing can be done, "Congratulations to the emperor!" ”
Zhu Youzhen saw Fan Jingwen and immediately changed his face, "Oh! Fan Aiqing! I say to you, we will never be short of silver again. ”
Fan Jingwen was really happy to listen to Zhu Youzhen's words, but Wei Zaode's face was cloudy and uncertain, he hadn't done anything to smash the pot in the past two days, there was no problem with the right summons, he hadn't made the emperor angry, why did the emperor treat me with such a face? is also a member of the cabinet, why is he happy to give Fan Jingwen a good face? I'm still the first one.
Wang Jinlong was sleeping in the carriage shop, Wang Xiangyao took four people to carry the sedan chair, and came to the carriage shop with more than 20 brocade guards and more than 20 eunuchs, and everyone rode a high-headed horse.
This situation can freak out the shopkeeper, what's the matter? Why are there so many brocade guards? There are so many internal officials, even if there is something wrong with the carriage shop, it will not alarm the Jinyi Guard?
What does the brocade guard do, everyone in the capital knows that the emperor's personal soldiers!
"Master, what are you?" , the shopkeeper came to Wang Xiangyao with trepidation.
Wang Xiangyao took out two taels of silver from his pocket, "Shopkeeper, you are blessed with a bright star!" There is a great nobleman living in your shop, take it, this is our family to reward you. ”
After speaking, Wang Xiangyao threw the silver to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper's stunned mouth couldn't close, what? My broken carriage shop is inhabited by nobles? No kidding, can you live in my place? But the father-in-law in the palace came to greet him, and he brought so many brocade guards to escort him, and rewarded him with silver, if you don't believe it, you can't do it!
Wang Jinlong was sleeping Zhengxiang, he was called up, he went out to see, everything was understood, needless to say, Emperor Chongzhen must have woken up, this is to send someone to find him.
"Our family has seen Lord Wang!" , Wang Xiangyao knelt down directly and saluted.
The little eunuch and the brocade guard who followed behind also knelt down and saluted.
This scene is stupid to the shopkeeper, my mother! Isn't this the same young man who spoke strangely and slowly understood yesterday? I brought hot water to me just now.
"Get up! The officer is going to go in and freshen up. ”
Li Xiaoshan and Zhao Shi couldn't close their mouths in surprise, the second master really became a big official!
What kind of official did you be? Such a pomp!
The two of them followed in stupidly, don't say anything, hurry up and wait for the second master to wash up.
