Leitong's debriefing
When Lei Tong nervously inspected for a long time, he soon found that the goods in this room showed no signs of loss at all.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he couldn't help but doubt his own judgment a little.
Could it be that there are no thieves at home?
Otherwise, why didn't he lose anything, but just moved his official seal?
Could it be that the thieves used their official seals to stamp some important documents in vain in exchange for great benefits?
However, his official position is not very high, and he has never controlled important real power in his hands.
What can thieves do with their official seals?
Lei Tong carefully analyzed for a long time and never thought of the thief's purpose, so he had to go to his business first with doubts.
Li Xiang, the prime minister of the Cham country, chose to let Lei Tong replace the Huang Shiren and continue to pretend to be pirates to rob past merchant ships, without much consideration.
It's just because there is really no goods in the Cham country that can be traded with the Tang Dynasty, so they plan to rob some so that the Cham will not be unable to make ends meet.
However, what he didn't expect was that the pirates had gained quite a lot in the past two years.
Not only did it provide Cham with enough goods to trade with the Tang Dynasty, but it also had the spare energy to sell some goods to other countries in exchange for more good things.
In this process, Li Xiang, as the planner and organizer of everything, has obtained countless benefits.
At the same time, he also cultivated Lei Tong and others who participated in this matter as his diehards.
When he received Lei Tong's recital, he immediately understood what Lei Tong meant, so he quickly asked Lei Tong to meet.
"Prime Minister, a new batch of goods will soon be traded with the merchants of Zhenla Kingdom.
Seeing that a few of these things were quite eye-catching, he made his own decisions and kept them for the prime minister.
I also hope that the prime minister will not blame him for his humble position and his use of power for personal gain. ”
After Lei Tong arrived at the prime minister's mansion, he immediately took out a few good things he carried with him and put them on the coffee table next to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang glanced sideways and then said with a smile: "The official has told you countless times that you don't need to worry about the official, but you don't listen.
Now is the time when the country is in dire need of money, wouldn't it be better to exchange these things for money to strengthen the country? ”
Lei Tong said: "The prime minister taught me a lesson, but I saw that these things are really beautiful.
Dealing it with those who don't know the goods and not getting much money in exchange for it, it is inevitable that they will be cruel to heaven and earth, and they will make their own decisions. ”
Li Xiang pretended to sigh and said, "Since this is the case, the official will reluctantly accept it first."
When the person who knows the goods is treated, he will sell it and exchange it for some necessary things for my Cham Po. ”
"The prime minister is loyal to the monarch and the country, and never forgets to work for the country, which is really an example for lowly people to learn all their lives."
Lei Tong waited until Li Xiang's words fell, and immediately sent a sycophant.
I only heard Li Xiang "haha" and said with a smile: "This official is just in his position, seeking his own government, and he should not be praised by General Lei." ”
After saying this, he continued: "It's a good thing that you mentioned that you have integrated all the pirates around you.
It also shows that the vision of looking at people is not bad. ”
Lei Channel: "Now that there are more and more armed guards coming and going on merchant ships, the cost of each robbery of those small groups of pirates is getting higher and higher.
Seeing that the opportunity was rare, the lowly official used some means to bring all these people together. ”
Li Xiang said: "You have done a very good job in this matter, and you have increased the size of the team several times without spending any money.
The official will come to the lord of the kingdom and say a few kind words for you, and if all goes well, it may not be long before you will have to add a burden to your body. ”
"The achievement of the humble function is all thanks to the promotion of the prime minister, no matter how the humble position is in the future, it will still be the prime minister."
After listening to Li Xiang's words, Lei Tong hurriedly spoke up.
He is now just a four-rank Zhonglang general.
If you can climb up the next level to reach the third rank, then you will be able to rank among the ranks of high-ranking bureaucrats.
Li Xiang was very satisfied with Lei Tong's statement.
He looked at Lei Tong with a smile and said, "Before, my strength of the Cham Water Master was greatly damaged, and I am afraid that you will need to spend more effort in the future!" ”
Lei Tong's eyes lit up after listening to Li Xiang's words.
Listening to the prime minister's meaning, I am afraid that I will be in charge of the Cham water master in the future.
If that's the case, then I'll at least be able to sit in the position of a general in the future.
Although the Cham Water Division has been severely damaged by the Tang Dynasty Water Division, it has now recovered to a scale of nearly 10,000 people.
If he can take over it, then his pirate organization will no longer have to worry about running out of manpower.
In addition, he can also make these sailors and warriors take turns to go to the sea to pretend to be pirates.
At that time, it will not only be able to play a role in training, but also slowly take this sailor into his own hands through some rewards.
Thinking of this, Lei Tong once again said to Li Xiang: "Everything is arranged by the prime minister."
As long as the prime minister needs to be humble, he will never frown at the top of the sword mountain and down the sea of fire. ”
Li Xiang said: "Okay, as long as General Lei has this determination." ”
After saying this, he opened his mouth again and asked, "I don't know when General Lei plans to return overseas, but is there any difficulty that needs the help of this officer?" ”
Lei Channel: "Within two days, you can complete the transaction with the Zhenla merchant."
He then returns to the overseas office immediately. ”
Speaking of which, Lei Tong suddenly remembered that his family might be robbed.
So he told the story.
Li Xiang couldn't help frowning after listening to Lei Tong's story.
There is indeed a strange thing about this matter.
If the thief can enter Lei Tong's study, he will definitely be able to enter the room where the goods are stored.
But the thief didn't take anything, just used the seal of Leitong.
If the thief knew Lei Tong's true identity, he would definitely know that Lei Tong's seal was of little use.
If you don't know Lei Tong's identity, will you know his identity through Lei Tong's seal and be scared away?
"General Lei, have you encountered anything strange recently? Or was there an abnormality in the home at the time of the crime yesterday? Li Xiang asked.
After listening to Li Xiang's question, Lei Tong immediately thought of the few Tang people he had met before.
In addition, there are vicious dogs that they have specially trained and have not reacted at the time of the incident.
After Lei Tong told Li Xiang about this, Li Xiang immediately lowered his head and pondered.
After a long time, Li Xiang's gaze suddenly froze.
He looked up at Lei Tong and asked, "General Lei just mentioned that they called you the island master?" ”
"Exactly." Raiton replied.
"Are you sure you've never met anyone before?" Li Xiang asked again.
Lei Tong shook his head and said, "For the sake of caution, I never talk casually with strange Tang people..."
