Chapter 53: Borrowing money
"Oh?"
These words reminded the Queen Mother.
If it was in the past, her power was in full swing, and she naturally didn't bother to pay attention to this person, but now that the situation is unstable, she can be regarded as a big injury, and it doesn't seem bad to let herself have more help now.
"That's exactly what you said."
When the Queen Mother heard this, a smile flashed on her face, and she picked up the letter and read it carefully.
"It's rare that he has a deep affection for the mourning family, if that's the case, then the mourning family should give him a little sweetness to taste, bring a pen and paper, and the mourning family will write him a reply."
Red Sleeves was overjoyed again when he heard this, and immediately went down to prepare.
On Fan Shicheng's side, a net carefully compiled by Zhao Feng for him has been quietly laid unconsciously.
At night, the Prime Minister's Mansion is still as lively as ever.
In the past month, the aristocratic forces in the capital have been extremely close to Fan Shicheng, and they have to get together in Fan Shicheng's mansion almost every few days, which seems to be extremely intimate.
"Adults drink one!"
Cao Xuyao, the leader of the nobles, raised his glass, "What we have been doing for adults in the past few days can be called the hearts of adults?!" ”
Fan Shicheng's face was also happy, and he raised the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.
"That's nature! How could the old man not be at ease! These days, it is thanks to a few people that the old man has acted so smoothly! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone raised their wine glasses and drank them again.
Cao Xu wiped his mouth, made eye contact with several people in the seat, and soon spoke again.
"Actually, I waited for me to come here today, and I asked for something, I wonder if Fan Xiang is willing to help?"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Fan Shichengxing came up, and couldn't help but boast, "As long as the old man can do it, he will definitely help!" ”
"I'm relieved to have this word from an adult!"
Cao Xu smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just that a few of us did a small business together a few days ago, that is, we bought a lot of rare things from foreign countries and prepared to transport them back to Beijing to sell." ”
"Unfortunately, the time was not good, and we encountered horse bandits on the road, who robbed most of our goods, and our men who escorted the goods also suffered heavy casualties."
Speaking of this, Cao Xu sighed deeply again, "Although we have sent people to recover the goods, we have put most of our net worth on that batch of goods." ”
"At the moment, things have not come back, and we are in urgent need of money in other industries, and some of the money cannot be turned around."
"So at the moment, I was really desperate, so I found Fan Xiang and wanted to ask Fan Xiang if he could help him with money? It's easy to say that when the goods are recovered, we will definitely pay back the money to the adults immediately! ”
After Fan Shicheng heard this, the smile on his face stiffened slightly.
For a long time, this group of people came to him to borrow money?
Although Fan Shicheng wanted to refuse, he had already boasted about Haikou, and in front of so many people, he naturally had no way to refuse.
"That's fine!"
Fan Shicheng stiffened his face and said, "But I don't know how much you want?" ”
"One hundred thousand taels of silver."
Cao Xu's simple words directly made Fan Shicheng gasp.
I thought it would be almost enough to ask him to borrow two thousand taels of silver or something, but I didn't expect to ask him for a full hundred thousand taels of silver?!
"What? Isn't there enough money in Fan Xiang's hands? ”
Seeing that Fan Shicheng was a little hesitant, Cao Xu said,
"If Fan Xiang finds it difficult, it doesn't matter, let's find someone else to find a way, and we don't need to trouble Fan Xiang."
Fan Shicheng was anxious when he heard this.
This group of local nobles in the capital is not easy for him to reach, if he loses their trust because he is reluctant to borrow money, it is not cost-effective!
Fan Shicheng's heart struggled, and he sighed silently in his heart.
Borrow it, borrow it!
"What are you talking about, Gongzi Cao!"
Fan Shicheng forced a smile, "How can the old man not be able to take out 100,000 taels of silver?" Besides, if you still want to borrow it, how can the old man shirk it! ”
"You wait here, the old man will call someone to get the money!"
After saying this, Fan Shicheng immediately motioned for Lin Xiao to come forward, and after whispering a few words, Lin Xiao walked out of the hall.
At the same time, more than a dozen masked men in black also hid here.
This man in black is not someone else, it is Zhao Feng and the assassination team led by his subordinates.
A few days ago, Zhao Feng also studied how to get Fan Shicheng's money, and tried his best to probe many times, but he didn't know where this old guy hid the money.
And today, it is a drama to seize Fan Shicheng's money.
And Cao Xu and his group had already been bought by Zhao Feng.
At the beginning, the official positions of this group of nobles were given by Zhao Feng, and Cao Xu and his party continued to communicate with Fan Shicheng according to Zhao Feng's instructions.
"Concealment."
Zhao Feng said softly, this was the first time he had taken the assassination unit he had cultivated on a mission, and Zhao Feng still felt that it was better to go there in person.
More than a dozen people in black were hidden in the night, and Lin Xiao still didn't know anything about their existence.
After getting a bunch of keys from the warehouse, Lin Xiao called five or six family members and walked with him to Fan Shicheng's study.
"You wait outside, and you can come in when I tell you to come in, and if you dare to peek, you will be killed."
Lin Xiao opened his mouth to threaten, and several family members also nodded again and again, and watched Lin Xiao enter the study and then close the door.
Zhao Feng lightly jumped on the roof, carefully removed a tile, and stared at Lin Xiao below.
I saw Lin Xiao turn an ordinary ornament on the desk first, and then pushed away the big desk with solid wood.
There was a tap on the floor. After determining the location, he took out the key in his hand and inserted it into the imperceptible keyhole on the ground.
Then there was a rumbling sound, and stone steps that went deep into the ground appeared one after another, leading to a mysterious tunnel.
Zhao Feng was also a little amazed when he saw this scene, but he didn't expect to hide the money in such a hidden place.
If it hadn't been found out in this way, I'm afraid that even if his home was raided in the future, I wouldn't know where he hid his money.
But the money will soon change hands.
After seeing that the tunnel was successfully opened, Zhao Feng gently dropped a stone from the roof, and when the few family members were still wondering where this movement came from, they were already wiped by the man in black in an instant.
Before they could even utter a single groan, several of them were already dead.
At the same time, Lin Xiao opened the tunnel and was about to come out to call someone, but when he walked to the door, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
Not right!
