Chapter 440: Finding Out
King Jing Zhao Qi is playing with the jade pendant carved with the peacock pattern sent by Zhang Zun, the jade pendant is not valuable, Zhang Zun just claimed that the jade pendant was opened by the monks of Chengdu Dajing Temple, which is considered an auspicious object; As a prince, Zhao Qi has seen countless gold and silver treasures, and he never thought that he would come out this time to make some money by the way, he knows very well the mentality of the people below, which is nothing more than offering money to seek his protection.
But Zhao Qi never thought that Zhang Zun's shot was so magnanimous, a full 100,000 taels of silver, and such a heavy gift, even King Jing Zhao Qi was shocked, because he couldn't bring any benefits to Zhang Zun. Zhao Qi looked up at Grandpa Sun, and only spoke after a while: "Grandpa Sun, what does Zhang Zun think?"
"There is no need to worry about the prince. Sun Gonggong smiled and said: "Zhang Zun should have no extra thoughts, after all, he is just a businessman, his eyes are on money, I heard that he came to the northwest, just to let Tong Taiwei agree to Jiaozixing to Qinzhou and Yan'an, maybe I learned that Tong Taiwei went back and wanted to develop in Bianliang." Later, if Zhang Zun didn't open his mouth, the prince would pretend to be confused, and if Zhang Zun really opened his mouth, let him go to Bianliang first, and talk about the rest slowly. ”
King Jing Zhao Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, as long as Zhang Zun arrived in Bianliang, everything was not in his control, even if there was a big difficulty, the queen mother would help settle it; ”
King Jing Zhao Qi nodded, this method is good, you can avoid a lot of embarrassment, and you can be invincible; Grandpa Sun hurriedly came to the living room, sat down with Zhang Zun, let people serve tea, and asked: "Mr. Zhang came over so early, is there something wrong?"
"Grandpa Sun. Zhang Zun looked like a slightly fat rich man, of medium height, with a smile on his face, and the smell of money all over his body, Zhang Zun said flatteringly: "I am here to report to King Jing, Qu Tuchu is a member of the Western Xia Paradise Hall, and is responsible for investigating the activities of the Great Song Dynasty in Qinfeng Road. ”
Zhang Zun's words surprised Grandpa Sun, yesterday several high-ranking officials of Qin Fenglu and Qu Tuchu's close relationship was almost undisguised, if what Zhang Zun said was true, it would really be a scandal; Grandpa Sun said slowly: "I have never heard of such a thing, have you reported it to Lord Zhao?"
"No, I'm afraid of the news leaking. Zhang Zun has the decisiveness of being a big businessman, and deliberately pointed out the word "leak", which seems to have a good effect, and Sun Gonggong's face has changed, and it seems that he is considering whether Zhang Zun's doubts are reasonable; Zhang Zun said in a low voice: "The salt sold by Qu Tuchu to Chengdu and other places is mixed with green salt, and the people in our trading house have secretly checked several batches of goods, and the ratio of salt to green salt is three to seven. I have been in Qinzhou for almost half a month, and no one knows the origin of Qu Tu Chu Qingyan. ”
The western army is all arrogant and fierce, and the smuggling is almost always open, and the collusion between officials and businessmen is probably not an exception; however, with Zhang Zun's ability, he could not find out the origin of Qu Tuchu's green salt, which means that Qu Tuchu's smuggling is very secretive, which is a bit incompatible with the general environment in the northwest. Gonggong Sun somewhat understood why Zhang Zun judged this way, when the smuggling was made public, the more concealed Qu Tuchu's behavior was, the more it showed that it had nothing to do with the generals of the Western Army, and it showed that Qu Tuchu directly traded with some people in the Western Xia, and even Qu Tuchu might be a spy of the Western Xia people.
Sun Gonggong pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Mr. Zhang, there are many things to talk about evidence, you are clear about the background of several big people in Qin Fenglu, without evidence, it is not convenient for King Jing to speak." ”
In the face of Grandpa Sun's prevarication, Zhang Zun began to twist his fingers uneasily, the meaning of Grandpa Sun's words was already obvious, Zhang Zun began to wonder if he was a little anxious today; Zhang Zun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said uneasily: "Grandpa Sun, you know, I just came to find Taiwei Tong to do something, and many things can't be done." ”
But King Jing Zhao Qi and Sun Gonggong did not mean to say any more, Zhang Zun politely said a few words and left, he lived next to the north gate of Fengxiang Mansion, and walked through the intersection of the avenue, when he was about to reach the street, he saw that the lights on the side of the road were brilliant, and the night market had begun. Even if there were no pedestrians, Zhang Zun's coachman still slowed down the speed of the carriage, and Zhang Zun often taught his subordinates that businessmen were not powerful after all, and disputes were easy for others to take advantage of.
Zhang Zun's entourage approached the carriage and whispered, "Boss, someone is watching, in addition to the two people in the back, there are also people in the parallel alley." ”
Zhang Zun's surprise is not trivial, he knows that he may be richer than Qu Tuchu, but in Fengxiang Mansion, the gap between his strength and Qu Tuchu is too far, if Qu Tuchu is from Western Xia, then his situation is really a little dangerous. The coachman seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly whipped the horse, hoping that the carriage would go faster, and Zhang Zun looked towards the side of the road, and before crossing the crossroads, the doors of the houses on both sides were closed, and occasionally a glimmer of light peeked through the crack in the door.
Fortunately, Zhang Zun's long-term entourage had already dispersed to protect him, and the people who were following him were in different positions, and there was no way to gather for a while; Zhang Zun's carriage quickly ran to the house rented by Zhang Zun, which was only thirty meters away from the patrolman's residence, Zhang Zun's mood was settled, and then let the long-term followers check, and the people who followed him were very familiar with the situation on this street, and left on the street. The carriage entered the courtyard, Zhang Zun pressed the door of his head before getting out of the car, and the people who followed him did not hide their whereabouts, indicating that they were not afraid of making a big deal at all.
Zhang Zun returned to his study, carefully pondered his actions this time, his mind was clearer, for the generals of the Western Army, whether the matter is successful or not, there is no harm to them, and they will definitely not care about their whereabouts;
Zhang Zun looked at the sky from the window, the moon was gradually rising, the garden was bright, there was no figure in the surroundings, only the sound of crickets and some unknown insects, the wind blew, and the poplar trees were rustling. Zhang Zun could see the figure of the patrolling family, and heard the sound of the watch, Zhang Zun decided to keep a low profile, and was going to go to the ceremony of Famen Temple to show his face, so forget it, it is safer in Fengxiang Mansion.
