"Li Yi, Jiang He!"
Zhao Jun suddenly shouted loudly!
The suddenness startled the two of them.
"This question I am asking is not only for Zhu Tuo, but also for you!"
Zhao Jun slowly turned around and looked at the two of them.
thump! thump!
There were two sounds of knees touching the floor, and the two of them fell to their knees together.
"I await the death penalty!"
Zhao Jun's already cold expression became even colder.
capital offense?
Haha, what a capital crime!
You can get away with just a sentence of death, but it really makes life difficult for me!
"Since you want to die, then I will make it happen for you! Come here!"
Swish, brush, brush!
Six fully armed soldiers sprang out from nowhere. Judging from the armor on their bodies and the slowly melting water stains, they must have been waiting here for a long time.
When Li Yi and the other three saw these soldiers jumping out, they understood that the prince's sudden mention of coming to East Street today was probably not a sudden move at all, but a premeditated plan.
Zhao Jun looked at the three of them coldly, and ordered coldly and ruthlessly:
“Press these three people into the secret guard dungeon!
I would like to see whether it is the coldness of the dungeon in this winter, or the coldness of the hearts of the victims who appeared because of their bribery!
Today I am going to make them "feel the same"! "
"yes!"
The six soldiers clasped their fists in response, turned around and immediately worked in pairs to control the three of them.
The three of them did not resist, and were controlled by the soldiers.
Before they were pressed away, the three people's expressions were all miserable.
There was a feeling of relief on Zhu Tuo's face.
His expression was quite relaxed.
The nine people gradually disappeared, and Zhao Jun stood there for a long time looking at the place where the nine people disappeared.
It wasn't until Wang Huai'en came up from the side and whispered a reminder that he came back to his senses: "Your Majesty, they have been crushed away."
Zhao Jun, who came back to his senses, was still in a daze, but he quickly calmed down. It was this king that they were sorry for, no wonder!
His eyes gradually became firmer, and Zhao Jun ordered: "Wang Banban, let's go, let's go back to the house!"
Wang Huaien nodded, but then he looked at the frightened man lying on the ground and didn't dare to make any sound and asked Zhao Jun: "My lord, how do you think he should deal with it?"
When the guy heard this, he immediately reacted, quickly stood up, knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed desperately:
"My lord, have mercy! Your lord, have mercy! I'm just a boy! I don't know anything! I don't know anything! Please spare my life!"
There is a big family in the little one’s family that he needs to support, so he can’t die!
Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy! "
Zhao Jun glanced at the guy casually and said coldly: "It's just an insignificant ant, don't worry about it."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away towards the door.
Wang Huaien turned back and took a deep look at the waiter who already showed a look of surprise, then turned back and followed the steps of his prince and left.
It wasn't until the two of them had left for a long time that the guy finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stood up from the ground, supported his weak legs, slowly moved to the chair aside, plopped down on it, and then I started breathing heavily!
Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!
Panting for a long time!
The man's turbulent mood finally calmed down, and a sense of joy for the rest of his life came to his heart.
A relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"Huh! What a risk! I saved a small life today!
This Prince Yun is really scary. It’s just a pity for him, I’m afraid he will die this time!
This big shop..."
At this point, the guy suddenly reacted.
If the master is arrested, doesn't it mean that this shop has no owner now?
The master is guilty of corruption and bribery. With the temper shown by their prince, I am afraid there will be no chance of getting out. This shop will be closed down soon.
In that case, why not make a fortune yourself?
Thinking of this, the guy immediately showed a greedy look.
On weekdays, I manage this shop myself, and the shopkeeper, who is the master's cousin, doesn't come here very often. After all, he is only the boss in name.
He knew exactly where the gold and silver in this shop was kept.
Anyway, the master can’t come back. The gold and silver in this shop will be confiscated soon. I don’t want to take more. The provincial government office saw too many mistakes when they reconciled the accounts, so I only take part of it. With those officials in the government office, His temperament was afraid that part of it would be lost when the house was ransacked, and he was afraid that even if he knew that the money was not enough, they would not tell him about it, so that he would be worry-free.
If you don’t take it, you won’t get it!
The brave ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death. A man cannot be rich without windfall, and a horse cannot be worthy without night grass!
Guo Xiaosi deserves to be rich today!
Ha ha ha ha!
As he thought about it, Guo Xiaosi couldn't help laughing, but he quickly silenced it. He looked around and saw no one passing by outside the store, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Their store was originally located in a remote place, so it was normal for no one to be around. However, in order to prevent something unexpected from happening, Guo Xiaosi hurriedly got up and closed the store door.
Now that there is an opportunity to make a fortune, people will no longer panic, their legs will no longer be weak, and they will not be able to walk as fast as flying.
Not much time, Guo Xiaosi quickly walked to the back of the store and came to the study room in the store.
The study room is not big. It can only accommodate a table and bookcases. There are some scattered books on the bookcases.
There are also four treasures of the study prepared on the desk.
A large vase was used as a painting tube and placed next to the desk, blocking the space behind the desk into an extremely narrow space.
Walking behind the desk, Guo Xiaosi reached into the vase and took out an unused scroll. There was a raised plum blossom relief on one end of the scroll. There were complicated patterns on the plum blossom relief, which looked extremely beautiful.
Picking up the scroll and turning to face the one-person-high bookcase behind him, Guo Xiaosi chuckled and suddenly reached out and pulled out a book from the row of books on the far left of the bookcase. There was a small, complicated pattern dent on the wall behind the book.
Pick up the end of the scroll with the plum blossom print, align it with the pattern depression, and press it, then twist it three times to the right, and then three times to the left.
Just hear a click.
There was a sound of mechanical rotation. After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, the bookshelf in front of me suddenly slowly sank to the ground. A hole appeared where the bookshelf originally was.
Taking the oil lamp from the desk on the side, Guo Xiaosi carefully stepped into the cave entrance. The top of the bookshelf that was exposed to the ground was just enough for someone to step on. He took the next step and fell to the ground, entering the dark room below the study.
The space in the darkroom is not large, but it is much larger than the study room outside which is less than thirty square meters. There is two feet of thickness between the top of the wall above your head and the ground. Even if you jump on it, no echo will reach it.
There was nothing in the darkroom, except for two large boxes. Guo Xiaosi excitedly stepped forward and opened one, and a golden light appeared in front of his eyes.
Although Zhu Tuo was not in charge of civil affairs, but only in charge of soldiers, such as patrolling Wuhou's yamen, he was after all one of the three highest-ranking officials in Yunzhou County.
There are also many people who want to go to him for convenience.
Even if many wealthy people accidentally do something that violates the laws of Yunzhou, they will ask their family members to give money to the chief official after being caught in the yamen.
Therefore, the benefits Zhu Tuo can receive are not many at all.
But he didn't dare to spend a tael, nor did he dare to take it home, so he kept it all here.
A large box of gold, worth ten thousand taels.
But looking at the box, after hesitating for a long time, Guo Xiaosi still didn't dare to move.
There was a lot of stuff, and he was afraid that the government officials who came to ransack the house would be reluctant to take it, so he didn't dare to fool him.
So he quickly moved to another box and opened it. This box was full of silver ingots.
The silver ingot was also mixed with a lot of jewelry. Guo Xiaosi suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, quickly grabbed a handful of jewelry and stuffed it into his pocket.
This thing is great. It’s not big, but it’s valuable. It’s not as eye-catching as gold and silver!
He finally stopped when he realized that all the pockets on his body were full and the crotch of his pants was stuffed.
He looked at the box that was missing a whole layer, thought about it, took out some more from his pocket, and piled it into a small pile on top before nodding with satisfaction, closing the box and turning around to leave the darkroom. .
After closing the darkroom, Guo Xiaoshi quickly left the store while no one was there. He quickly returned home and hid all the jewelry. Then he suddenly remembered, wasn't his cousin working in Sheriff Li's shop?
Greed returned and he hurried out the door.
What he didn't see was that on the roof of his house, a secret guard was looking thoughtfully at his back as he ran out.
Another secret guard had already entered his house after he left. He easily found the jewelry he had hidden, put it in a cloth bag and walked out of the house. He greeted the roof above:
"Found it! Let's follow!"
The man above nodded, turned over and fell from the roof.
"How about it?"
"What's the point? This kid is so good at hiding things that he can find them after just two glances.
No difficulty!
Our prince is still smart. He was afraid that those two people were hiding the money, so he specially left this boy to lead us to find it!
But it seems to me that Zhu Tuo has no intention of resisting. Is this necessary? "
"This is not something you should ask. Let's just do things honestly."
"Um...too."
"You just need to take your things back to the palace first, and I'll follow you."
"Can you do it alone?"
"Okay, there are still people watching over there, there is no shortage of manpower."
"Okay! I'll take the things back first, and I'll bring people to support you soon."
"Um!"
The two secret guards had a conversation and soon divided up their things.
One took the jewelry back to the palace, while the other chased after Guo Xiaosi in the direction he left.
Here, although the excited Guo Xiaosi was cautious all the way, his efforts were in vain and he didn't realize that there was a secret guard hanging far behind him, watching him from the dark.
Jogging all the way from home to Li Yi's shop on East Street, Guo Xiaosi arrived in less than two quarters of an hour.
When Guo Xiaosi saw his cousin Guo Xiaoliu, Guo Xiaoliu also saw him, but at this time there was a fat boss in brocade clothes in the store picking things, so Guo Xiaoliu also He didn't come to greet his cousin.
Guo Xiaosi did not come forward and waited quietly outside the door.
The fat boss here finally picked out something, took out a painting in his big hand with a green thumb, and said with a smile: "I want him! How much money?"
Guo Xiaoliu shook his head: "How much money did you say?"
The fat boss smiled knowingly, and then said: "Eight thousand taels!"
Guo Xiaoliu was startled and quickly took the paper from the side and asked: "When, where?"
The fat boss grinned, knowing that he had achieved this price!
Dang Ji said: "I heard that the city wall part of the new city has been completed, and residential areas will be built first, but the timber supplier has not been selected yet, and there will be a public bidding in the Yamen in the future.
I don’t know what the hidden price the yamen has set. It would be better if they could give an accurate number. "
Upon hearing this, the smile on Guo Xiaoliu's face immediately disappeared.
The master had told him before that there was a lot going on and that if anyone wanted to win over any supplier, they would have to pay more than ten thousand taels.
This fat boss, please give me less! "
This fat boss can do such a big business because he is obviously a good person. He looked at Guo Xiaoliu's expression and secretly said bad!
The price may not be enough, but he is also mentally prepared. A total of four areas will be built in the new city residential area in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
The one he wants to win the bid for is the commercial street planned in the west of the city that is close to the county government and positioned as the same class as Kanneishi City.
It can be said that after it is completed, it will be a naturally wealthy area. The houses here are not ordinary houses like those in Dongcheng. They will need a lot of wood and precious wood.
If he can get the supply qualification, he can earn back not only 10,000 taels, but also 500,000 taels!
Immediately, the fat boss immediately increased the price.
"Sorry, I was wrong just now. This painting is not worth eight thousand taels..."
Guo Xiaoliu's eyes suddenly widened.
The fat boss then laughed and said: "This painting! It's worth at least thirteen thousand taels!"
Only then did Guo Xiaoliu retract his widened eyes, and he was overjoyed. He was about to say yes, but suddenly his eyes rolled.
The fat boss didn't know what he was thinking. He took out a gold leaf from his arms with a smile, stuffed it into Guo Xiaoliu's arms and said with a smile: "Please, little brother, please welcome me, take this little money to drink some tea. Have some tea!”
Feeling the coolness of the golden leaves in his hands, Guo Xiaoliu immediately showed a big smile.
This is his biggest gain in this store. His salary is not that much, but these wealthy businessmen who come and go are very generous!
Guo Xiaoliu immediately wrote down a few strokes in his hand, and then asked: "I wonder what your surname is?
Our Lord Sheriff has also put a lot of effort into painting this painting. This painting is the Lord Sheriff's favorite. You have to know which master bought it. If you think about it in the future, you will know whether it is the master or not? "
The wealthy businessman immediately announced his life and identity with a smile: "Easy to say, Chen Qing, the owner of Chen's Timber Store in the south of my city, also asked me to help me mention my name to the county chief. I will need tea money in the future, right?" "
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen is joking, why is this so embarrassing?"
"What's the point? It's just a matter of drinking tea and talking."
"Then thank you Master Chen. I will definitely speak kindly to Master Chen in front of the Sheriff!"
"That's good!"
…
Nothing happened, and the wealthy businessman Chen Qing left the shop with the painting he bought for thirteen thousand taels satisfied.
In the shop, Guo Xiaoliu happily took out the golden leaves that Chen Qingsai had just given him and laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. It was a full tael!
This is more than ten taels of silver at least, which is more than two months' wages. I'm lucky today, I met a very generous person!
Seeing that his cousin had finished his work, Guo Xiaosi, who was standing at the door, hurriedly walked in. The first thing he saw when he came in was a small box on the table.
He knew that it must be the money that the wealthy businessman brought to buy paintings. He had received many wealthy businessmen like this.
A look of greed flashed in his eyes, I don't know how much of this has not been accounted for yet, I can totally take it all away!
At this time, Guo Xiaoliu quickly came to his senses. When he saw his cousin coming in, he quickly put away the small box on the table and asked, "Why are you here?"
But Guo Xiaosi put his hand on the box to stop his movement, which stunned Guo Xiaoliu.
"Xiao Si, what are you doing?
This is not something you can worry about. You also know that I work for the county governor. If you dare to touch the master’s things, you will have no place in Yunzhou County! "
But Guo Xiaosi grinned and said something that made Guo Xiaoliu's expression suddenly change: "What if the county guard has been arrested and has no chance of coming out?"
"What?!"
Guo Xiaoliu's eyes widened in disbelief!
…
I was stuck before, so the update is a bit late, don’t panic, hehe
