Chapter 41: The Thief Li II

Candidates for the bank's stewardship.

As time becomes ticker, it is unlikely that outsiders will be able to manage the bank.

Only if the bank goes smoothly can he entrap the people of the clan, and this matter cannot be delayed.

"Ryuki, are you willing to take charge of the bank?"

I didn't say that.

At that time in the apse, her body and soul were conquered by Qin Chuan, and she was also promoted to the position of the crown princess, she will be the queen in the future, and she is obliged to do this for Qin Chuan.

"Your Highness, the concubine is willing."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lone will let Xiao Jin assist you, this matter needs to be kept secret, at least until Lone ascends the throne, it can't be known by any outsiders."

……

The next two things, one is to steal Zhou Dewei's warrant, and the other is to steal his treasury.

Yang Qianxue is responsible for the theft of the warehouse, and she can use the relationship of the Yang family to find some people in the rivers and lakes.

As for the person who stole the warrant, he had to find it from among the thieves in the capital, and he also needed the butler of the Zhou Mansion to answer it secretly.

That's right! The steward of the Zhou Mansion must be taken.

This is very helpful in stealing the treasury, covering people's eyes and ears, and cooperating with the outside world.

As soon as the sky was bright, Qin Chuan returned to the mansion and called Yao Cheng.

"Your Highness, what do you command?"

"Do you know that Zhou Dewei's housekeeper has an outhouse?"

Yao Cheng: "Yes, many people in the capital know that this housekeeper Zhou An has always had unclean hands and feet, he is in charge of the Zhou Mansion's treasury, steals a lot of things from the treasury, and often walks around the black market in the capital. He had three outer houses, each with a concubine. ”

Hmph, the housekeeper of Xiangye's Mansion, can your hands and feet be clean?

Qin Chuan: "You have to find a way to find his whereabouts, you have to see him as soon as possible, remember, don't startle the snake, don't let others know." Lone will see him alone. ”

"Subordinates know what to do."

He pondered for a moment, and then said, "Is there a thief in the capital?" ”

Yao Cheng is Qin Chuan's henchman, and he is also his personal guard who followed him since he was a child.

When it comes to thieves, he can name twenty or thirty.

This is the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, rich and corrupt officials emerge in an endless stream, and it is also the habitat of thieves.

"Your Highness, there are too many thieves in the capital, I don't know what you are asking for."

Qin Chuan: "You are Lone's henchman, Lone will not hide it from you, looking for a thief is to infiltrate Zhou Dewei's Prime Minister's Mansion to steal his warrant, Lone is of great use." ”

Yao Cheng: "Your Highness, Zhou Dewei's warrant has not been used for a long time, the first emperor gave him the warrant because of the unstable situation in the court, and hoped that he could act on behalf of the Son of Heaven and suppress hundreds of officials." But ......"

But Zhou Dewei is already above 10,000 people, and if the warrant is not warranted, it has become an ornament, and his words are worth more than half of the holy decree.

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister's Mansion is extremely strict, and it may not be easy to find such a person. The subordinates know a person named Li Er, a person from Jiangnan, who is the descendant of Jiangnan Yanzimen. ”

"Swallow Gate?"

"That's right, the Jiangnan region is a gathering place for martial arts people from all over the world, and even thieves have sects, among which Yanzimen is the most famous. This Li Er is the descendant of Yanzimen, he made a bet with someone six years ago, entered the palace to steal the jade seal, and then wanted to leave the capital, but he didn't want to be betrayed by his companions, and was arrested and sent to the criminal department, and the sentence was thirty years, and he had to be beheaded after the sentence was completed. ”

Oh, this crime is serious enough, who can stay in prison for thirty years, I'm afraid that if I can't wait to cut off my head, I will have to die first.

Yao Cheng also said that Li Er not only has an outstanding ability to steal, but also has the nickname of 'stepping on snow without a trace', and his light skills are unparalleled in the world.

The disadvantage is that his martial arts are not good, which is also the result of Yanzimen's specialization in light skills and stealing skills, and he is not good at the cultivation of fighting martial arts.

"Hmm...... Is there a way to bail him out? ”

Yao Cheng sighed: "Your Highness, the top and bottom of the Criminal Department are Zhou Dewei's protΓ©gΓ©s, and the Shangshu Wang Kaizhong of the Criminal Department is even more loyal to Zhou Dewei, if you come forward, I'm afraid it won't work." But if you use money to redeem him, maybe it's okay. After all, the first emperor has died, who will remember the theft of the jade seal back then? ”

"Okay, this matter, you do it, as long as it turns out, how much silver does it need?"

"A thief...... According to the practice of officialdom, two thousand taels of silver is enough. ”

Small meaning, Qin Chuan can still afford to spend this money.

In the evening of the next day, Li Er was released, and someone arranged by Yao Cheng went to pick him up, and then he went round in a remote and uninhabited tavern, where Qin Chuan was waiting for him.

Li Er described as obscene, a typical gentleman on the beam, not tall, walking with a pee-like look, like a mouse.

His clothes were ragged, and the smell was not good, and when he entered the house, he saw a table of wine and food, and he couldn't eat it anymore.

For six years, I haven't touched a drop of wine, and even the meat is only eaten during the New Year, and it's not good to be greedy.

I can't help but say it, sit down and eat.

Yao Cheng: "You slow down, no one will rob you." ”

On the second floor, Qin Chuan slowly walked down and walked lightly to Li Er: "How does it taste?" ”

Li Eryi raised his head and was stunned: "Did you save me?" ”

"I saved you."

Li Er chuckled and said, "You and I have never known each other, why do you want to save me?" Could it be ...... You want me to do something for you? ”

"You are very smart, I know that you are a thief, even the heavily guarded palace, you can come and go freely, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to steal, then it will not be a problem."

What? Prime Minister's Mansion?!

Hearing this, Li Shuangzhong's roast chicken paused, he took a sip of wine, chewed and thought slowly, and then looked at Qin Chuan: "You are playing me?" ”

"I spent two thousand taels of silver to get you out, just to trick you? Then I'm too laid-back. ”

Although Li Er was a thief, he was thoughtful, he leaned forward and asked, "Who are you, why did you let me go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to steal things, what do you want to steal?" ”

"Who am I, you don't need to know, I will save you, and I will give you a sum of money, and then you will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to steal the Prime Minister's warrant and hand it over to this Lord Yao. When the deed is done, I will give you five thousand taels of silver. ”

didn't think about it, Li Er also took it: "Five thousand taels of silver, you want me to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to steal something?" Oh, Engong, you are too stingy, who doesn't know that Zhou Dewei's mansion is even more difficult to break into than the palace, and you don't inquire, who dares to go to his house to steal things from the three hands in the capital. Aren't you asking for my life, I might as well go to jail? ”

"Thirty years in prison, and you want to cut off your head when you finish it, are you willing? After this matter is successful, the sky is high and you can fly. ”

Yao Cheng reminded: "If you don't cooperate, you can go by yourself, but the imperial court will issue a sea fishing document for you, and it is useless for you to go to the ends of the earth." ”
