Tang Ping didn't know Duanmei's plan. He looked at the information he asked Lu Yi to find and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that I saw an acquaintance."
He called Lao Cui and said, "Go and invite this man to me quietly. Don't let anyone know that he is here."
"Yes!" Lao Cui responded, and then went to make arrangements.
Tang Ping watched for a while, and Lao Cui came to report that someone had been invited.
Then Tang Ping saw a man being brought over with his head covered.
He looked at Lao Cui, who said honestly: "Didn't the young master say that no one should know? So even he himself doesn't know!"
Tang Ping held his forehead, he said he was inviting someone, not kidnapping him!
"Ping Guo Gong?" The man wearing a hood asked doubtfully.
Tang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "How did you know it was me?"
"I have good control over distance and direction. They just took me out of Chang'an City. Based on the direction and distance, I should be near Shanghe Village."
"And I still have some memory of your voice, so I took a bold guess."
Tang Ping went up and took off his hood, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Li, I didn't make it clear. I apologize to you here."
This person was none other than Li Yu, the mining official who was chatting with Tang Ping in the back when Tang Ping went to the court meeting during the last Fuso development.
This time, he returned to Chang'an from Fusang to report on his work while taking advantage of the gold mine.
"It's okay!" Li Yu said nonchalantly, and then looked around: "I have long heard that the place where Pingguo Gong lives is different, and today I finally have the opportunity to come and take a look."
"I wonder why Duke Ping invited me here today?"
Tang Ping asked with a smile: "How was it? Did you get any money from going to Fusang this time?"
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Ping Guo Gong, this joke is not funny!"
Tang Ping patted him: "Okay, okay, no joke, but this time your majesty and I really need you to be greedy for some money."
"What?" Even though Li Yu was calm as usual when he was kidnapped just now, he was a little stunned when he heard Tang Ping say this.
"We have investigated in advance and found that Mr. Li has always been clean and self-sufficient in the Mining Department. In addition to his excellent professional level, he also has a noble character, so
That's why I chose you. "
"I believe that when you returned to Chang'an this time, you heard that there was some unhappiness between His Majesty and I, right? But I can tell you here that this was originally the plan of His Majesty and I."
"Now we need someone to deposit a sum of money that cannot be seen in the light to Daxingshan Temple and several other temples in Chang'an."
Li Yu nodded: "So I am the one who escorts the gold back to the country, right?"
"Yes, with such a large amount of gold in hand, and Fusang is far away overseas, it is really easy to be greedy."
Li Yu was originally from the Li family in Longyou, and was of the same clan as Li Shimin, and based on the screening, he was the most suitable candidate for this task.
"This is His Majesty's warrant. You can read it, but you can't take it away." Tang Ping took out another warrant and gave it to Li Yu.
Li Yu opened it and looked at it. It was Li Shimin who asked him to cooperate with Tang Ping to find out the secret deposits of various temples in Chang'an.
After Li Yu read it, he respectfully returned the order to Tang Ping with both hands.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Tang Ping asked.
"Yes!" Li Yu nodded: "You didn't forge this warrant, right?"
"Ahem!" Tang Ping said in embarrassment, "How is that possible? Even I wouldn't dare to forge this thing."
"Oh!" Li Yu said with a smile: "I was in Fusang but I heard that Duke Ping also forged their credentials!"
"That's different!" Tang Ping said awkwardly.
"Then there's no problem." Li Yu cupped his hands and said, "I just have a few days off, and I can go to Daxingshan Temple tomorrow. But if I want to save money, I must have money!"
Li Yu dug into his pocket: "Look, I only have these few dozen pennies."
"Don't worry, when I take you back later, I will send it with the money." Tang Ping said.
"Do you believe me so much? What if I wait for you to leave and take your money and run away? The temptation of your money is really big!" Li Yu asked with a smile.
Tang Ping shook his head: "I believe you can't. If you could, you wouldn't have bothered to find and hand over the 40 kilograms of gold ore that Fuso lost last month due to a mine car failure."
"Although you are complimenting me, it's really uncomfortable to feel like everyone is staring at everything.
ah. "
Tang Ping shrugged: "There is no way. In front of so much gold, who do you think can be 100% believed?"
Tang Ping said to Lao Cui: "Be normal when you send Mr. Li back later, but it's better not to be discovered."
"Understood!"
Li Yu was sent back to his home, and eight million yuan went back with him.
He needs to deposit the money in four temples in Chang'an.
Tang Ping told him how to save money in each temple.
Early the next morning, he asked someone to drive to Daxingshan Temple first.
According to what Tang Ping said, he entered a Buddhist hall, sat in front of a monk and said with a smile: "Master, I want to light a hundred everlasting lanterns, but I don’t know how to do it Can’t make arrangements.”
The monk glanced at him, nodded and said, "In that case, please go into the inner hall and register who lit the lantern."
Then he nodded to a monk next to him, and walked in through a small door with Li Yu.
"The donor is very handsome. I wonder what he does for a living?"
Li Yu said with a smile: "In the Mining Department, I was sent to Fuso to develop gold mines some time ago, and I just came back recently."
The monk's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Isn't the scenery over there at Fuso nice?"
"Maybe, but staying in the mine all day won't be much fun."
The two chatted casually and came to a relatively private room. The monk apologized, asked Li Yu to wait, and went out first.
After a while, another person came in, but he was not a monk anymore.
"Hello, Mr. Li." The man came in and saluted.
"Do you know me?" Li Yu asked curiously.
"Didn't Mr. Li come in just now and say he was in the Mining Department? We happen to have some connections in the Mining Department. Mr. Li was the only one who came back from Fuso recently, so I took a bold guess and it seems I was right."
Li Yu gave him a thumbs up: "Awesome, it seems my money should be safe here."
"Don't worry." The man said with a smile: "Since Mr. Li can find us, he naturally knows our abilities. How much money does Mr. Li plan to deposit in our Daxingshan Temple this time?"
"Two million Tang Dynasty coins, isn't it a little less?" Li Yu asked with a smile.
