Chapter 370: The Origin of Silver
Liang Yichuan's anger was a little uncontrollable.
Gu Rongrong didn't have the slightest fear of him, and even the waste of the assassination history dared to interrogate him.
He sneered: "Lord Assassin Shi, now the envoy is accusing him of stealing official silver, isn't he the one you should try?" Why do you ask about the envoy? If the envoy knew how he stole it, would he still bother to assassinate Master Shi? ”
Dai Thorn Shi twisted his eyebrows: "Why is the official silver in the Liang Mansion?" ”
"This is a matter for the city guards, so Lord Assassin doesn't have to bother!"
"If you don't let the official bother, then why let the official come to trial?"
Liang Yichuan was silent, with anger in his eyes, staring at the history of the assassination, full of warnings.
Dai Thorn Shi blinked, looking unclear.
"Why don't you speak?"
Liang Yichuan: "......" I want to kill you, tell me about it.
Gu Rongrong couldn't help laughing, and arched her hand: "My lord, these three boxes of silver are used by grass people to bring in food.
Because the Liu family was restless in business before, spreading false news about the food shortage, the people in the city were afraid, and the grass people were afraid of the grain being sold short, so they prepared silver and prepared to let their subordinates go to other places to buy some.
As soon as the silver was prepared, the guards came to search, and for some reason, it was not said that the grass people's silver was their lost official silver.
My lord knows that even if the grass people are bold, they don't dare to steal official silver! ”
Gu Rongrong's voice was sincere and sincere: "Besides, as the adult said, the grass people are a small merchant, where do they have the ability to steal official silver?"
Although the grass people have never been to Liangfu, who in Yuzhou City does not know? What kind of place is Liang Fu? In addition to the military camp in Yuzhou City, it is the most difficult place to enter, right? ”
Gu Rongrong glanced at Liang Yichuan: "If the lord says that I can go in and steal the official silver as a mere merchant, then my lord, how can I reassure the people in the city that the city guards can protect Yuzhou City?" ”
Liang Yichuan was stunned.
How can this be self-proven?
said that it could be guarded, so how could the Liang Mansion lose its official silver? If you can't say no, then where will you put the face of his city guard?
Liang Yichuan looked at Gu Rongrong, and then looked at the history of the assassination, and smiled very slowly.
"The envoy still wondered if the sun didn't seem to rise in the east today, but now I understand it a little."
"Isn't it a wolf and an embarrassment colluding together, one thinks he can regain power by relying on money, and the other thinks he can use power to fight for power? It's a pity," a sneering smile appeared on Liang Yichuan's face, "There is an envoy, no matter how embarrassed he is, it is useless, no one wants to turn it out in the hands of this envoy!" ”
Gu Rongrong wiped her face and sighed: "Since Liang Chengcheng said so, it is useless to say more, so let's speak directly with silver." ”
"You said that my silver is official silver, okay, then may I ask, what are the characteristics of official silver?"
"This batch of silver was not made by the Yuzhou Supervisor and the Bank, but the military salary given by the imperial court, and of course there are the words cast by the Imperial Court Linyin Division when it was cast."
"Okay, then since that's the case," Gu Rongrong arched her hand to the stabbing history, "My lord, don't hide it, the grass people's money also has a history." ”
"Tell me."
"I don't know if you have any impression of the plague that happened in Luzhou a few years ago?"
"Naturally, the epidemic in Luzhou is one of the biggest disasters in our dynasty in recent years, and everyone knows it."
Gu Rongrong nodded: "Yes, the grass people used to do the herbal medicine business, and they were fortunate to contribute a little bit to Luzhou, and donated twenty carts of herbs and thirty carts of grain. This batch of silver is the reward given by the imperial court to the grass people after the disaster relief. In addition to the words supervised by the imperial court, the difference is that on the side of the silver ingot, there is also a small word for appreciation. ”
"This batch of silver was not only given to the grass people, but also to many merchants who contributed to Luzhou, more or less, and the number was different. The grass people have not been willing to use it for so many years, thinking that this food shortage can be regarded as making the best use of it for the people of Yuzhou. ”
Gu Rongrong sighed and sneered again: "I just don't know how to become the military salary official silver in the mouth of Liang Cheng's envoy." ”
Liang Yichuan heard what she said about the origin of the silver, and felt that she was talking nonsense, what kind of reward for silver, it was simply nonsense, he knew about the disaster, but the court gave a reward for silver, and he had never heard of it.
At that time, the imperial treasury was very poor, and I wished that these merchants would come out to contribute, so how could they give any rewards.
Besides, he knew best how these three boxes of silver came from.
Dai Assassin Shi nodded and praised repeatedly: "Zhang Gongzi is really righteous, and this official admires it." ”
"My lord, this is what I should do as a citizen." Gu Rongrong said modestly.
Liang Yichuan was so irritable that they complimented them politely.
"Okay, my lord, you listen to his nonsense, what's going on, just open it and check it, I just don't know if you dare?"
Gu Rongrong was categorical: "Dare!" However, I would like to ask the adults to test it for themselves. ”
"Okay," Dai Thorn Shi agreed.
He immediately got up and came down, and without a moment's hesitation, waved his hand and asked the official to open the box.
The people in the hall and the hall all stared wide-eyed, and their necks stretched out in the distance.
Leng Xinghe believed that Gu Rongrong had a countermeasure, but he didn't know what method she used, so he held his breath at this time.
Liang Yichuan stood to the side, watching them, it was impossible for them to make trouble under their noses.
Dai Thorn Shi personally picked up a piece of silver and looked back and forth in his hand.
There are indeed words at the bottom that are supervised by the imperial court, but ...... There is no "reward" that Gu Rongrong said.
Dai Assassin Shi chuckled in his heart - didn't the princess say something wrong? Or what's going on? Why not?
He hesitated, and did not speak for a long time.
At this time, Liang Yichuan was also a little puzzled, but what he wondered was not whether he was rewarded or not, but that he knew that when he gave Gu Rongrong three boxes of silver, the bottom layer was the official silver, why did he run to the top now?
After thinking about it again, maybe it was his subordinates who tumbled on it when they were searching.
"My lord, is it as he said?"
Dai Assassin Shi didn't say anything, he was anxious, and looked at Gu Rongrong.
Gu Rongrong smiled calmly, without any panic.
Liang Yichuan urged: "My lord, you are talking, do you have that reward?" ”
"This ......"
Liang Yichuan couldn't wait, reached out and picked up a ingot, held it high for the people around him to see clearly, turned it over and over a few times, and sneered: "The surname is Zhang, where is your reward?" ”
Gu Rongrong's face changed slightly, and she picked up a tablet: "No?" ”
"See for yourself!"
Gu Rongrong also turned it upside down, looked at it several times, and picked up another ind, but there was still nothing.
Leng Xinghe frowned slightly, and quietly stood behind Gu Rongrong, ready to strike at any time.
Liang Yichuan threw the silver into the box, picked up a few ingots in the other two boxes, and flipped through them.
"You say, where is the so-called rewarding word!"
Dai Assassin Shi opened his mouth and was about to speak, when Liang Yichuan asked angrily: "Do you still want to protect him!" ”
