Chapter 434: The Show Begins
He Zhanyue didn't sleep all night, and the envoy of the River Supervision and Transshipment Department didn't sleep peacefully.
In the past few days, his eyelids have been jumping, and he ordered his son to be grounded in the yard, which can be regarded as a little more reassuring.
He gave birth to two daughters and a son, and the daughter was fine, and he married for his career to make his position more stable, but this last son did not let him worry.
Every day, they are either prostitutes in the green building, or they sink in the gambling house, but the gambling skills are so bad that they can't do it, and the silver goes out like water.
He earned a lot, and the tax and silver harvest that was transported to the imperial court, the Transit Division would intercept a part of it every time, and eighty percent of the silver intercepted would go to the Wing King, and two percent would flow into his own pocket.
Suzhou is a big city, one city is worth three other small cities, Suzhou's money is naturally large, fortunately, He Zhanyue is a capable person, and he has not made any mistakes in the past few years, Yiwang is satisfied, and he is also rich.
But there is such a bad son, who fills the holes again and again, and uses his own money, he is reluctant, so he has to fight for the idea of other money.
He had the courage to keep an extra 10% of Suzhou's money, and gave 70% to the Wing King, there was no way, there were few other cities, so he could only find a way from Suzhou.
The son was beaten and scolded, scolded and scolded, and gambled again within two days of stopping, and his son forced him, so he forced He Zhanyue.
It's a headache to think about.
Not long after falling asleep, I was suddenly woken up by a sharp knock on the door.
He almost bounced up from the bed and scolded: "What a shot! Anxious to report the funeral? ”
The housekeeper's voice outside the door trembled: "My lord, it's not good, the third master has been arrested!" ”
It's about the same as mourning.
The envoy hurriedly lit the lamp and let the butler in, who was still holding a letter in his hand, the envelope was dirty, and there seemed to be a chicken fluff in it.
But he didn't care about it, and took out the letter and glanced at the lamp.
Before the letter was finished, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
"What's going on? Wasn't he grounded in the yard? How did they get out, and how did they fall into the hands of bandits? ”
The housekeeper bowed his head and said: "The villain inquired about the little guy in the third master's courtyard, and the third master ran out while he was taking a nap, and the people in the house were pretending to be the little guy." ”
The envoy was furious: "Kill that damned minion and throw it out!" ”
His eyes were dark, and the housekeeper hurriedly supported him: "My lord, killing slaves is small, and saving the third master is big." ”
"I also know, but I don't even write the address on it, only that the person is in their hands, and they want 300,000 taels of silver, what can I do?"
300,000 taels, my heart is bleeding when I think about it.
The housekeeper groaned: "My lord, if you don't raise money first, they don't write the address, they must be afraid of revealing their whereabouts, observe our movements, maybe the money is about the same, and the address will come." ”
The envoy cares about chaos, he naturally understands this kind of simple truth, now calm down and take a long breath.
"You go to the treasury and see how much cash there is."
"Yes." The butler hurried out and went straight to the storeroom, not noticing at all that in the grass not far behind him, a pair of dark eyes were staring at him, and then followed.
Outside the back window, Gu Rongrong wore a mask, watched the envoy walk to the bookshelf, fumbled for the mechanism, opened the dark room of the study, and after a while, two small boxes were taken out of it, in addition to gold and silver ingots, there was also a stack of silver tickets.
Gu Rongrong's eyebrows bent slightly, and she said in her heart that this trip was really not in vain, she learned two bird calls, and Leng Xinghe in front heard it and made a movement in the yard.
The envoy was immediately alarmed, shouted for someone, opened the door with a knife and rushed out.
Gu Rongrong took the opportunity to open the back window, landed lightly, and took away the box on the table, before the door of the dark room could be closed, she flashed in, and the bright jewels dazzled her eyes.
Whatever he is, swoop and take it away.
The dark room is full, but the dark room is always small, and it will be cleaned up after a while, Gu Rongrong thought about it, poured out the gold and silver in the two small boxes just now, put a few stones in it, put the lid on the box, and put it back in its place.
At this time, the envoy was still having a good time with Leng Xinghe in the courtyard.
After blowing two more bird calls, Leng Xinghe immediately withdrew, and the envoy carried the knife with an inexplicable expression.
This thief came and went quickly, and he made a random call, and he didn't have any rules, he didn't do anything, and he left again.
The envoy was now in a state of confusion, and he couldn't care much about it, so he asked people to patrol and investigate thoroughly, and he turned around and went back to the house.
The chest is still there, and the door to the darkroom is ...... It's closed.
Did he just close the door? Confused for a moment, a little unremarkable.
Just as he was about to take a look, the housekeeper outside ran in: "My lord, there are more than 100,000 taels of silver in the treasury, plus silver tickets and jewelry, you can make up 200,000 yuan." Antique calligraphy and painting or something......"
"Those things, bandits won't take them," he waved his hand, "that thing is true or not, and it's also troublesome to exchange for silver, and the bandits understand it." ”
"How's that to be?"
A cold light burst out of the envoy's eyes: "What else can I do?" This is Suzhou's territory, and He Zhanyue is responsible for the safety of Suzhou, and my son has such a big incident, he must take care of it. ”
"You go to the city and let He Zhanyue find a way to give out 200,000."
The housekeeper took a deep breath and was about to turn around and leave, when there was a cry in the courtyard.
The envoy's wife came.
Looks like I've gotten the news.
The envoy's head hurt even more, and he glared at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper hurriedly said: "Adult Mingjian, the villain didn't dare to talk much, and he didn't send a word to the back house." ”
The envoy waved his hand to let him out, and the lady had already entered the door.
"What about my son? Where's my son? You're a one, forcing him every day, and banning his feet, if you don't control him too strictly, can he run out? ”
The envoy's head was on fire: "It's you who spoil him, so you spoil him to be the virtue he is now!" ”
"How dare you say me? I don't care, you pay back my son......"
The two cried and screamed and made a mess, and they couldn't get into a fight.
Gu Rongrong climbed out of the back window, without stopping, caught up with the hen who explored the way, and ran to the warehouse again.
Leng Xinghe stared at the movements of the study and the housekeeper, and saw that the housekeeper went out and was about to go to find Gu Rongrong, Gu Rongrong came towards him.
"The housekeeper went out, presumably to Suzhou."
"Let's go!"
……
As soon as the day dawned, before the city gate was opened, He Zhanyue's housekeeper called to open the city gate and came this way, but he walked quietly and in a low-key manner.
According to He Zhanyue's instructions, he had to go quietly and find out what was going on in the Fu family.
It was cold, there was a little light rain, there was a tea shed halfway, he went in to drink some hot tea, he got up early in the morning and didn't eat, just ate a few pieces of snacks, pad his stomach.
As soon as he sat down, he hadn't even taken two sips of tea, and two people sat on the table behind him.
"Two pots of tea and four plates of dim sum!"
These two people have loud voices, babbling, and the housekeeper can't pay attention to it if he wants to.
Sweeping his gaze, he accidentally saw the sign falling from their waists, and his eyes suddenly shrank.
Is that...... The waist card of the River Superintendent Transshipment Division.
