Xiong Wei looked at Xiaoyaozi and felt that Xiaoyaozi had a strong mysterious aura on him. He scratched his head inexplicably, thinking to himself: What did Master say to Wang Dong?

Before Xiong Wei could figure it out, he heard Xiaoyaozi say to him lightly: "The grain and grass have been prepared and are being sent to Liaodong." There is also the money for military salaries, how are you prepared there, come in quickly, and discuss!"

"Master......" Xiong Wei wanted to ask something more, Xiaoyaozi squeaked, pushed the door open and walked into the house. Xiong Wei had many questions so that he could only put them in his heart and follow Xiaoyaozi into the house.

Xiong Wei asked excitedly: "Master, it's really amazing, you can prepare all the grain and grass in such a short time." Master is indeed a master, worthy of being a well-known hero in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Not only that, but Master also brought 500,000 taels of silver. Xia Yun walked in as she spoke, "There are two big cars outside the door, you hurry up and take a look." ”

"Not busy!" Before Xiaoyaozi could finish speaking, Xiong Wei ran out of the house again.

Xiong Wei ran out of the yard as fast as he could, and looked at the door. In front of the door there were two large carts, both two-headed horses, each with five boxes. Xiong Wei opened the boxes and saw that each box was filled with white silver.

Xiong Wei looked at the silver very suspiciously, and returned to the backyard of the flower building with a stomach full of questions.

Xia Yun was talking to Xiaoyaozi about the matter of pulling the silver carriage in front, and she had already dealt with it.

Xiong Wei walked in and asked Xia Yun seriously, "Did Master say where did the silver come from?"

"I also asked you this question, but Master didn't say it. Xia Yun paused and explained, "We were fighting at the time, maybe Master didn't have time to say it." ”

"Who are those people escorting grain and grass to Liaodong?"

"After the master knocked Wang Dong's men down, he asked me to come out and look at the silver. It is impossible for grain and grass to enter the city, and it is already on the way to Liaodong. The master said that the silver would be transported into the city first, and then transported to Liaodong together with the confluence of Hua Manlou. ”

"Oh?" I don't know why, Xiong Wei always felt that something was wrong in his heart, as if something was going to happen soon.

"Don't stand there stupidly. Come here, I'll tell you. ”

Xiaoyaozi still sat at the table as always, drinking tea slowly.

"Master, the money and food are complete. Now it's just a perfect excuse to cover it up. ”

"What are you going to say?" asked Xiaoyaozi expressionlessly as she sipped her tea.

Xiong Wei looked at Xiaoyaozi with a smile and said, "Master, where did you get all this food?" ”

"Huh?" Xiaoyaozi was stunned for a moment and explained: "Some of the rich businessmen in Lianghuai donated it, some of which were saved by the Salt Gang, and some of them were sent by people in the martial arts who knew about it and took the initiative to send it. ”

"Master, it's those rich businessmen, those martial arts decency. When the emperor asks, I'll say it!" Xiong Wei wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and he wanted to ask where Xiaoyaozi got so much food all at once. If the provenance is better, he will tell the emperor by the way that all these coins come from this place.

"It's all chivalrous people who don't want to leave their names. Xiaoyaozi was stunned for a moment, and then continued, "Don't think about my words. Think for yourself what to say to the emperor. ”

Xiaoyaozi doesn't say it, and Xiong Wei can't do anything. But his curiosity was at work again. He shrugged his shoulders and deliberately said, "It's a big deal, I'll tell the emperor that I stole this silver from the homes of various big people in the Jingshi." At most, he killed me. As long as I can prepare for the transportation of grain and grass to Liaodong, I can be regarded as having a heart to serve the country. ”

Xiong Wei originally wanted to use this method to provoke Xiaoyaozi to see if he said it. Who knows, Xiaoyaozi knew Xiong Wei's mind completely, and did not react to his words at all, and smiled faintly and said, "Whatever you want." ”

Xiong Wei was stunned for a moment, and said unwillingly: "Master, then you don't have an apprentice." ”

Xiaoyaozi was not too lazy to say, he couldn't tell Xiong Wei that most of the money and food were taken from the secret base of the Donglin Party. There are also some donations from the martial arts sect and the salt gang in the rivers and lakes, but that is only a small part.

Xiong Wei looked at Xiaoyaozi, scratched his head helplessly, and thought: Could it be that I also told the emperor that it was donated by some wealthy businessmen and chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes who did not want to leave their names?

He thought about it and sighed again, but he really couldn't say that. Could it be that I really stole it?

Xiaoyaozi watched Xiong Wei go crazy like a monkey, took a sip of tea, and slowly put down the teacup.

"Master, don't embarrass me. Tell me, how can I talk to the emperor in order to save my head!"

Xiaoyaozi took out a list of the characters planned by the grain and grass to Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei saw that there were many celebrities in Lianghuai on it, including the Salt Gang and some chambers of commerce, Xiong Wei was stupidly stunned.

"Master!"

"You have a lot of questions. Xiong Wei didn't speak yet, he only called Master, and let Xiaoyaozi seal the channel for asking.

Xiaoyaozi asked Xiong Wei to add the names of Wang Dong and some dignitaries and nobles in Jingshi to the list he brought, and even the name of the queen, and asked Xiong Wei to hurry to the palace to reply, saying that these grains, grass, and military salaries were all donated by patriots, so that the emperor would not be able to cure Xiong Wei's crimes.

When Xiong Wei heard this, he also added the names of Wang Dong and the queen, and also wrote how much they had donated. I couldn't help asking, "Master, that's what you told Wang Dong just now?"

"That's right. I asked him to go back and tell the queen, and I said that the queen had heard about the war in Liaodong and that they had voluntarily donated it. ”

"This time Wang Dong picked up a big bargain, I didn't steal so much silver from their house!"

"You have a lot of questions!"

Xiong Wei let Xiaoyaozi say this, and obediently closed his mouth.

Xiong Wei came to the palace, and there were names of the queen and Wang Dong on the donation list, and Mingshenzong saw that this Xiong Wei also moved the queen out, and he really couldn't cure him for a while.

Xiong Wei finally told Mingshenzong that there were some people who didn't want to leave their names who volunteered to donate these coins. They were also unwilling to ask for credit in front of the emperor, just to support the war in Liaodong and contribute to the country. So I won't let Xiong Wei talk about it.

Mingshenzong was very surprised that Xiong Wei was able to gather the silver in such a short period of time, and there were 500,000 taels more.

In fact, he originally expected that Xiong Wei would be able to gather two or three hundred taels. I didn't expect Xiong Wei to be so capable of doing things.

It made him both worried and happy. Happily, he finally solved a big problem, and worriedly, the queen still intervened in the matter. and whether Xiong Wei will really seek the throne with some people in the rivers and lakes.

He really wanted to send Xiong Wei to the front line to fight, but he was afraid that Xiong Wei would end up arrogant.

At night, Mingshenzong sat in the Qianqing Palace again, unable to sleep peacefully.

Myojin Sect rested on the arm of the chair with one hand and supported his head with the other.

"Your Majesty ......" Concubine Zheng Guifei brought another bowl of things to Mingshenzong.

Mingshenzong saw that Concubine Zheng was coming, smiled slightly, and suddenly felt warm in his heart, "Concubine Ai, why are you here at this time." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that you haven't rested well these days, so she specially made a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup and sent it to the emperor. Zheng Guifei said as she scooped a mouthful with a soup spoon, put it to her mouth, blew gently, and then put it on the mouth of Mingshenzong.

Myojinzong took the soup spoon, took the bowl, and said, "I'll come by myself." Concubine Ai should go to rest early. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines know why you are upset. The concubine came here for this purpose. ”

When Mingshenzong heard this, he hesitated in his heart and thought: Ai Concubine. Don't give me any more 'good ideas.'" Both of these ideas were yours, and as a result, things turned out to be more difficult to do.

However, he could only say this in his heart. I secretly decided in my heart that no matter what Concubine Zheng said this time, she would just listen to it, and her left ear went in and out of her right ear.

"Your Majesty, you see that Xiong Wei has done his best for the military salary this time, which shows that he has no second thoughts about the emperor. You don't have to worry about it, since he wants to go to the front so much, then let him go. We can't live up to Lord Xiong's fierce loyalty. ”

Mingshenzong heard Zheng Guifei's words, Zheng Guifei has always been at odds with Xiong Wei, how did she speak for Xiong Wei this time.

Zheng Guifei is the beloved woman of Mingshenzong, and he has been married to her for decades, of course he knows Zheng Guifei's temper. Zheng Guifei will not let go of Xiong Wei easily, unless Zheng Guifei has already bought Xiong Wei, or has other bad ideas.

Mingshenzong couldn't guess what Zheng Guifei wanted to do at this time, and this matter was related to national affairs. He had no choice but to ask Concubine Zheng directly, "Aifei, do you have any ideas in your heart?"

Concubine Zheng hesitated, this was originally a trap for Xiong Wei. She originally thought that if Xiong Wei couldn't gather money and food within the stipulated time, she would let the Myojin Sect use this as an excuse to kill him. At present, since Xiong Wei can get the grain and grass together on time, there is only another way to kill Xiong Wei.

However, she couldn't let the Myojin Sect know about it either. She wasn't sure if the Myojin Sect was really worried about Xiong Wei now. In case, Myojin Sect didn't want to kill Xiong Wei in his heart, and she would make Myojin Sect disgusted by doing so. She would never do anything she was 100% sure of.

"No, I don't. I just think it's time to hire people. Xiong Wei is so brave and good at fighting, he should be given a chance to serve his country. Zheng Guifei used her goosebump-sounding voice to tell Mingshenzong delicately.

She wanted to use this method to test the attitude of the Mingshen Sect towards Xiong Wei.

"Then let him go and escort the grain and grass. Anyway, people have to deliver the grain. It just so happened that he found the money and food again. Yang Ho lost the battle again this time, so let him help Yang Ho. Mingshenzong said, and said firmly: "Yes, that's it. Let him be a pioneer for Yang Hao, give Yang Hao a wake-up call, and let him pay more attention to Xiong Hao's whereabouts. ”

"Your Majesty, since you have figured it out, let's rest early. Zheng Guifei said with a smile again, but she didn't think so in her heart. She sighed secretly in her heart, but fortunately she didn't tell the emperor to ask him not to reuse Xiong Wei. It seems that my original prediction was correct.
