Liu Qingsong tied up the package and hung a sword on his waist. He looked at Liu Qiqi, saluted Master Wu, and then left.
Mr. Wu hurriedly explained to Liu Qiqi carefully before letting her rest and planned to take the opportunity to enter Dahuang Village to spy.
Not long after Liu Qiqi left, Wu Dacai hurriedly went out to welcome someone in person.
This man was about twenty years old, wearing a green robe, with a gentle smile on his face, and walked in with a gray cloth package in his hand.
The two of them sat down separately, Master Wu cupped his hands and said: "Brother Liang is really neglected!"
The young man smiled and said: "You and I are working for the emperor, business matters are important! There is no need to be polite, Mr. Wu."
Mr. Wu smiled and said: "Brother Liang has done a great job this time. I have already reported to the emperor secretly that I will go to the emperor to ask for credit from Brother Liang! As for the money..."
The young man interrupted with a smile: "Don't mention these trivial matters, Mr. Wu. I also asked Mr. Wu to send a message to the prince-in-law, saying that this batch of ordnance will be borne by the Liang family. Everyone is working for the emperor. Don’t get divided!”
Lord Wu nodded, "Brother Liang is so righteous! The emperor will definitely appreciate it after hearing this. This time it was possible to do something thanks to the accurate information provided by Brother Liang, otherwise it would not have been so smooth!"
The young man smiled lightly and said, "We, the Eight Families of Shanxi, have shops all over the capital. Any disturbance will naturally not escape our eyes. That day, Mr. Xu and Mr. Cui went to No. 1 to purchase old ginseng, and I happened to be there. The two noble gentlemen behaved in an exaggerated manner. After hearing only a few words, I realized that there was something fishy about them, so I paid close attention to them.
It just so happened that I brought funds to Mr. Wu, so I just talked about it with Mr. Wu. After all, it was Mr. Wu who did the job, otherwise he wouldn’t have achieved this! "
Mr. Wu smiled complacently. As this person said, Mr. Liang just said a few words as a conversation piece after dinner that day, but he keenly felt something unusual from it! Hence the current situation!
After the two exchanged compliments, the young man placed the package on the table, opened it, and took out items one by one.
But it was a glass mirror box, perfume, soap, ironware, cloth, toilet paper. Mr. Wu had already known about these and purchased a batch. The baggage Qin Song had just sent back to Shengjing was the mirror box and other items.
Lord Wu said nothing and looked at the young man with a smile.
The young man took out a stack of banknotes from the package, pushed it over, and said with a smile: "Master Wu, this is a little thought from our family. Please accept it, Master Wu!"
A flash of greed flashed through Mr. Wu's eyes. The name Yongtaihe on the ticket number and the face value made him jealous. Yongtaihe is the name of the bank account of the Fan family in Shanxi. These banknotes are all with a face value of one thousand taels. Visual inspection There are at least dozens of them!
He had already spent his remaining funds by bribing officials from the Ministry of War to seek official positions. If he had this huge sum of money now...
"Brother Liang, there is no reward for no merit, but this gift is too heavy!"
The young man smiled and said, "Master Wu has been of great help to us, but he doesn't know it. Please don't refuse this gift!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Master Wu said with a smile.
The young man pushed again and said, "Please accept it, sir, so that I can continue to explain. After listening to this, you will definitely feel that it is natural for me to accept it!"
"In this case, I will accept it first and listen to what Brother Liang has to say. If not, I will retreat to Brother Liang."
Mr. Wu took the initiative and collected the banknotes.
The young man smiled and said, "Sir, please take a look!"
He took a piece of cloth and said: "This piece of cloth is well-proportioned in warp and weft. It is a fine piece of cloth. It is several grades higher than what we produce! However, the price is only 40% of our price! As soon as this piece of cloth comes out, I It was an immediate shock! In the past two days, the cloth store had not sold a single piece of cloth!
And this soap, perfume, ironware, glass, toilet paper, any one of them contains great wealth. If these secret recipes are in our hands, we can take all the wealth in the world and make it mine! It is also extremely beneficial to me, Daijin! At this time, people in Dahuang Village are panicking. It is a good time for me to take action. Does Mr. Wu still think that our courtesy is important? "
Master Wu's thoughts moved slightly, he took a moment and said, "I'm afraid I'm weak-minded about this."
The young man said: "This matter requires Master Wu's full help! You have so many talents under your command, and you have been operating in the capital for a long time, there must be something extraordinary! Although we have many eyes and ears, in terms of means, it is not worth mentioning in front of you. .”
Mr. Wu was secretly annoyed. This person once again mentioned that he had many eyes and ears. On the one hand, there was a hint of threat, and on the other hand, it also meant cooperation. For a lurking spy, this feeling was very unpleasant.
He sighed and said, "Excuse me! I'm walking on thin ice in Beijing, and all the heads of the family have great hands and eyes. If you were not one of our own, Wu Mou would have been caught by the Ming court long ago, so it wouldn't be extraordinary."
The young man smiled and said: "Since we are all our own people, let's get straight to the point. Your Excellency and we will take care of each other. Your actions in Beijing will definitely be smoother, and you need to find out these secret recipes. Of course, every time Xiang, what do you think when we give you a hundred thousand taels of silver as a thank you fee?"
One hundred thousand taels! What a grand gesture! Mr. Wu swallowed secretly. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he nodded and said, "Then I will do my best! Brother Liang, please go back and wait for my news."
The young man stood up with a smile and said, "Then I will wait for the good news from you!"
Master Wu sent it out, and after turning around, he counted the banknotes in his hand, and found that there were thirty in total, totaling a huge sum of thirty thousand taels! He couldn't help but laugh out loud! The money allocated by the emperor every year is only a few thousand taels, but these landlords are still rich!
His original order to Liu Qiqi was to collect these secret recipes, but now he can contribute to the country and gain personal gain. He is very satisfied.
This man is none other than Wu Changchun, the son-in-law of Fushun's consort Li Yongfang!
He has been lurking in the capital for eight years since the forty-sixth year of Wanli Dynasty. He is the most successful secret agent of Hou Jin Dynasty!
Historically, he was arrested in 1626 next year because he was reported by his mistress Li Feng'er. The case was investigated by Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, and was arrested by Dongchang!
Ming Dynasty was extremely excited to capture Wu Changchun, the leader of enemy spies in the capital.
The Ming court treated it as a major event at that time and believed that being able to solve such a case at the feet of the emperor was "thanks to the gods of the clan and the loyalty and wisdom of the officials". It was a great blessing!
Zhu Youxiao issued a special decree: Wu Changchun would be "executed in a hurry, and the leader ordered all parties" to execute all the officials of the Ministry of War who had colluded with him to betray his officials.
At the same time, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, who had seized the case, received heavy rewards, especially Wei Zhongxian, who was in power at the time, saying that he had forewarned the evil plot and greatly frustrated the long-standing gangsters. Although the good news was reported to the frontier ( At that time, Yuan Chonghuan had just won the great victory in Ningyuan), and the odds of winning were really in the temple!
He also specially named Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangqing, the "Prince Taibao and Left Governor", as Suning Bo, which can be said to be a super promotion.
