Chapter 52: Night Visits
"Senior brother, it turns out that Yanran is so rich?" Yin Ying looked at the account books, with a look of jealousy: "No wonder she can't look down on the five hundred taels of silver." ”
"This thousand taels of silver was deposited into Yanran's account by Li Rat. The young man in Chinese clothes explained: "But no matter what, according to the rules of Qian Zhuang, this thousand taels already belong to Miss Yanran." ”
"The little one was ordered to come and serve tea. When Yin Ying was talking to the young man in Chinese clothes, Tong Bo's knock sounded outside the door again.
"Why are you again?" The young man in Chinese clothes couldn't help frowning when he saw Tong Bo enter the inner hall again to serve tea: "Wrinkling the sixth child, why didn't he come?"
"The shopkeeper, the sixth uncle is a little unwell today, so he sent the little one to serve tea. Tong Bo replied to the words of the young man in Chinese clothes, but his hand did not stop at all, he put the brown teacup in front of Yin Ying, lifted the teapot with his right hand and tilted it slightly, and poured the pale yellow tea into the quilt in an arc.
"Well, the faint fragrance is quite lonely in the autumn when the northern geese fly south. Yin Ying put the teacup next to her nose and sniffed it, then took another sip and exclaimed: "I can't imagine that you can still drink such authentic autumn geese in Jinling City; ”
"The sixth wrinkle has been here with me for more than ten years, and the tea art is naturally exquisite, otherwise my money village will not be able to cope with all kinds of distinguished guests. The young man in Chinese costume was praised by Yin Ying, and he immediately felt very face-saving.
"Little brother, have we met somewhere?" Yin Ying looked at Tong Bo's tea pouring technique and eyes, but became interested.
"The small, the small one is just pouring tea, how can I ever see a noble person like Gongzi!" Tong Bo put away the teapot and deliberately pretended to be cowering and stood aside.
"Yes, junior sister. The young man in Chinese clothes also laughed: "This person is just a small guy in our Qianzhuang's house, my sister has lived in Luoyang for a long time, how can I see it." ”
"Yes!" Although Yin Ying said so, what she believed in her heart could not dispel her doubts.
"Alright, you go down first. The young man in Chinese clothes waved his hand to Tong Bo, and Tong Bo took advantage of the situation to exit the inner hall, but did not leave in a hurry, but hibernated outside the door and continued to listen to them.
Senior Sister Fang Cai looked at the number of account books. Yin Ying paused deliberately and said with a smile: "The large amount of silver in this account book plus Yan Ran's sum, there are five two thousand taels and three one thousand taels, which adds up to thirteen thousand taels." ”
"There's nothing wrong with this, if our money bank doesn't even have this bit of silver, it will be the first village in the country. "When the young man in Huafu mentioned Sanshun Qianzhuang, his face was full of pride.
"The silver taels defrauded by the fake tax collector this time have been roughly calculated by the imperial court, and they are as much as 100,000 taels. Yin Ying saw that the young man in Huafu couldn't understand what he meant, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly: "If those fake tax collectors can save at least 30,000 taels to 40,000 taels of dirty silver by dispersing the deposit of silver." ”
"yes, I didn't think of that. The young man in Huafu suddenly realized: "As long as it is a money village with a scale like Sanshun, after depositing silver in this city, and then going to other cities to take it out with the redemption ticket, then this dirty silver will be out of Jinling City." ”
"According to my sister's opinion, from today onwards, all large amounts of silver deposits are allowed to enter and not go out, and each transaction must be reported to the officials of the household department for verification, so that even if there are omissions in the future, we will not be blamed. Yin Ying handed over the account books to the young man in Huafu.
"Cut! This Yin Ying is worthy of being from Qian Zhuang, although I also thought of this section, but I didn't respond as decisively as her. Tong Bo outside the door couldn't help but secretly admire.
"Senior sister is reasonable, without further ado. The young man in Chinese clothes also broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Yin Ying's analysis: "Come on, prepare the horse." ”
Tong Bo heard the call of the inner hall, and knew that he couldn't stay here, so he hurriedly slipped away from the other side of the outer passage.
"Master Sha, it's been a long time since we've had a few drinks together, how about going to the Drunken Wind Building together to have a good time?"
"Oh! I really envy Lord Zhu, you can go and have a drink, and I have a hard life, and I have to be on duty today. Sharba just entered from outside the door and took a look at Zhu Danian and other colleagues: "You also know that this household has not been peaceful recently." ”
"Why do you want to do so much, there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow is sad. Zhu Danian waved his hand to his colleagues beside him: "Since Lord Sha is still on duty, it can only be blamed for your lack of mouth." ”
"Hmph! Recently, you and others need to step up their night patrol work, and we must not allow some small nights to take advantage of it. Sharba looked at Zhu Danian's distant back, commanding a group of errand soldiers, and there was a sneer of disdain on the corner of his mouth.
"Yes! All the officers responded in unison.
The sky had gradually darkened, and the servants of the household department were also divided into groups of two to find the night under the order of Sharpa.
"Hey, you said that what happened lately, that you can't go on a business trip on time, and you have to take turns keeping vigil; I thought that when I entered the household to work as an errand boy, I would find an iron rice bowl, but who knew that I would have to suffer such a living sin!" a night watchman complained with a lantern.
"Who's to say it's not? Normally at this hour, the brothers would have gathered together to drink and make fists, and it was so comfortable. Another night patrol discrepancy immediately echoed: "And the household is so big, there are two groups of people arranged every night, and I don't know what this Sha Da think." ”
"Xiao Duozi, why do you say bad things about people behind your back, be careful of being listened to by others. A gray-clad officer in front of the door of the errand room scolded.
"Yo! It turns out that Brother Chuan, you are still comfortable, and with Master Zhu's errand of managing a bad house, it is like we still have to patrol the night. This messenger named Xiao Duozi turned around and shone Li Chuan with a lantern, and said sour words.
"Yes, Brother Chuan, you don't know how to carry our brothers!" The other officer also looked jealous when he saw Li Chuan.
"Hey, you two stinky boys are really singing and harmonizing. Li Chuan scolded with a smile: "This is a big deal, Luo Bei and I are worried about it every day." ”
"Hmm, why haven't you seen Luo Bei these days?" Xiao Duozi scolded: "You won't take leave again, right?"
"I really let you say, Luo Bei's daughter-in-law is not in good health. Li Chuan looked helpless: "It may be a few days before I can come back on an errand." ”
"He has a lot of family affairs. Xiao Duozi was not angry: "Today's mother, tomorrow's daughter-in-law, I think in the future, even his golden house is good and has something to do." ”
"Hey, that's what your mouth says. Li Chuan laughed when Xiao Duozi said on the phone: "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to fry two appetizers, and the two of you will come over to drink two cups when you get off a business." ”
"Really, Brother Chuan! That's a good feeling. As soon as the two officers heard that there was wine to drink, they immediately danced with joy, and no longer complained: "Then let's go to another place first, you must wait for us to come." ”
"That's right, Brother Chuan, go to the kitchen. "Our stomachs are growling with hunger.
"Don't rush, don't rush! I'll go now. Under the repeated urging of the two, Li Chuan even forgot to lock the door of the errand room, so he hurriedly ran away.
Liu Ningshi, who was dressed in black gauze and masked, was lying dormant behind the grass not far from the errand room, and when she saw the opportunity coming, she jumped on the roof without hesitation, and after a rush, she landed in front of the door of the errand room, and entered the house in a flash, and closed the door with her backhand.
Unexpectedly, Li Chuan was so careless, not only did he forget to lock the door, but even the last two wooden cabinets were not locked. Liu Ningshi sighed, originally she was still thinking about how to steal the key.
Liu Ningshi opened the door of the wooden cabinet, reached out and took out a tax card, and carefully stroked the back with her hand: "This tax card really has three wave-shaped reliefs?
Ho's emboss!"
Liu Ningshi first put the tax card as it was, and then checked the tax card in the other cabinet, and there were actually three wave-shaped reliefs: "It seems that the tax cards we saw last time were all fake." ”
Liu Ningshi was thinking about the tax card in her mind, when she suddenly felt a few wisps of dust falling from the top of her head, she didn't look at it, her feet were a little, and she flew in the direction where the dust was drifting, and a man in black who was lying on the house borrowed his feet against the wall, rotated diagonally, and hit Liu Ningshi's palm with his right palm.
"Bang", in the moment of lightning, the two palms suddenly collided, Liu Ningshi only felt that the other party's palm force was like a boulder pressing her heart for a while, and the man in black also felt that Liu Ningshi's seemingly soft internal force was like thousands of fine needles piercing his heart.
With the power of this palm, Liu Ningshi tapped her feet twice towards the wall, and the whole person was in a semi-arc, and she made a roundabout kick from mid-air.
The man in black couldn't imagine that Liu Ningshi's reaction was so agile, he couldn't avoid it, his chest was firmly kicked, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back;
"It's hard stubble lately, it's really worry-free. The man in black reached out and patted the dust on his chest, and said secretly in his heart.
"This person may be the one who swapped the tax card, and he was captured first. As soon as she thought of this, Liu Ningshi's body moved, and her ghostly phantom steps combined with her slender jade palm to hit the man in black like a storm.
The man in black saw that Liu Ningshi's body and palm speed were so fast, but fortunately he gave up the defense and attacked with a move;
"This is a secret visit, if you use the phantom sound, I am afraid that it will attract the servants, since this is the case, I will use that trick. Liu Ningshi stepped back a few feet and closed her eyes slightly, her two palms that condensed blue internal force shook slightly, her eyes opened suddenly, and her ice-like eyes pierced the man in black.
"Hmm, what's going on?" the man in black felt himself deep in the middle of the ocean, the rough tide had reached his throat, and it was becoming difficult to breathe, and he swung his palms hard, slamming the water, trying to force the tide back, but he sank deeper and deeper.
"It worked. Seeing the man in black dancing his palms wildly, Liu Ningshi did not hesitate, and slammed his palm towards his closing point, and the surface of the black-clothed person suddenly glowed with a circle of golden light, colliding with her blue palm.
Liu Ningshi's palm was blocked outside the yellow circle of light for a few breaths, but the man in black came to his senses with the power of a palm.
The man in black silently used his internal strength, and the yellow aperture moved at will, not only bouncing back Liu Ningshi's palm power, but also bouncing her back a few steps.
"Cut! It's an illusion, and it's still on the way. The man in black took advantage of this gap, opened the door and flew up the wall, and then turned around and glanced at Liu Ningshi: "I have written down this look." ”
