The Duke's Mansion of the State of Qin.
In the study, Duke Qin, Uncle Qin, and Qin Zongliang gathered together, while Xue Ren stood guard outside the study door.
Uncle Qin: "I heard from the Queen that your Majesty has sent Zhang Cheng, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, out of the palace."
Duke Guo of Qin: "They must have been sent to Jizhou to assist the Jin Guards in transporting silver back to the capital. Liang'er, did you do this cleanly?"
Qin Zongliang: "Grandpa, don't worry. In order to be safe, my grandson didn't take more. It's just a fraction. No one in the Xue family will remember such details, let alone outsiders. The money is currently hidden in the suburbs of Jizhou. When the news passes, it will be released again." Get it back.”
Uncle Qin said regretfully: "The Xue family is really rich. Relying on the favor of helping the Chu family to found the country, they got a lot of salt work and made a lot of money. Such a large sum of money, if time is not urgent, it would be You should plan better and get more."
Duke Guo of Qin: "Every prosperity must decline, what is there to envy? If the Xue family had not been so greedy and arrogant, they would not have had the wealth and stability of two generations. Now their lives are in danger in prison. As a father, there are better sons than you." Taking a long-term view, if you take less now, how much money will you get if you help the prince succeed?"
Uncle Qin finished admonishing him and nodded in agreement.
Qin Zongliang: "I'm not the only one who got ahead of Jin Wei to get money this time. The informant who stayed in Jizhou said that there are two other families who got more money than me."
Uncle Qin Guo asked in surprise: "Do you know who he is? Have you ever been spotted?"
Qin Zongliang shook his head: "I sent someone to follow me. I don't know who they are yet. I was waiting outside the city. It was just dawn when I left, and I didn't run into those two groups of people."
Uncle Qin Guo thought deeply: "Who is so well informed?"
After thinking about it, he suddenly asked in fear:
"In Jizhou City, is the general who let you out of the city reliable? If he follows the general and tracks you down, it will be a serious crime that will harm the Duke's government!"
Qin Zongliang smiled calmly: "Father, don't worry. If the child knows that this matter is of great importance, he will not leave any clues and cannot find me."
Duke Qin glanced at his panicked son, feeling helpless disappointment welling up in his brows. When he turned around and saw the calm eldest grandson, his depressed mood calmed down.
Binzhou.
Seeing the silver that had been brought back after all the hard work, Cui Taishou was very excited. After kissing it, he secretly hid a small amount, hid the remaining silver in batches, and hurriedly sent a secret message to Chu Chengyao.
In order to prevent being traced, people were sent to wipe out the traces of the coming and going, and many suspicions were raised.
After clearing the tail, they sent out spies to keep a close eye on Jizhou, and the Wanyuan Sect did the same.
Taian.
General Jin Wei and Deputy Commander Zhang Cheng escorted the silver back to the capital. After handing it over, they immediately entered the palace to face the saint.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not because I didn't do my best. After receiving the order, I didn't dare to delay at all and rushed to Jizhou without stopping. The two groups of people found out now got the news faster than I did, so I arrived at the treasure house half a day earlier than I did. "
The emperor's face was full of anger: "How dare you quibble! Could someone detect the information faster than my spies? Who can have such ability!"
After getting angry, the emperor suddenly woke up:
"No, there is indeed one. There is a Tianji Sect that detects news so quickly in this world..."
Jin Wei knelt down and said without raising his head:
"I don't know if it was Tianji Sect's fault, but both groups of people advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and their traces were hidden very cleanly. This is not something ordinary people in the world can do."
The emperor thought for a moment and asked Jin Wei to take twenty military sticks and go home to rest.
