Yujing, Murong Mansion
Because the Chief Secretary of Hebei and Henan had nothing to do today, as the Chief Envoy, he returned to the mansion early. As soon as he entered the mansion, he heard Butler Wang approaching him and saying softly:
"Master, a batch of new books came into the house today..."
As soon as these words came out, Murong Yuliang's originally relaxed mood immediately became cautious. After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Where is it placed?"
"We've given you a study room!"
As soon as Murong Yuliang said these words, he walked towards the study. The book was a code indicating that someone from Luo'an was looking for him.
After a cup of tea, Murong Yuliang walked into the study. He saw a handsome young man in the study. When he saw Murong Yuliang coming back, he immediately bowed and said:
"Murong Zhao has met his second uncle!"
Looking at the elegant Murong Zhao in front of him, Murong Yuliang was also a little surprised. After a slight hesitation, he nodded and said with emotion:
"It's been seven years since I last saw you, Zhao'er, you've grown up too!"
After listening to Murong Yuliang's words, Murong Zhao said with a gentle smile:
"I have not seen my second uncle for seven years and you are finally able to express your ambition. It is really gratifying!"
Seeing Murong Zhao talking about this, Murong Yuliang also had a smile on his lips, but he still shook his head and said:
"I'm just a chief envoy, no comparison with your father!"
After a few warm words, Murong Yuliang asked his nephew to sit down and let the maid serve fragrant tea. Then he asked his nephew about the current situation of Luo An's relatives. Although he and his eldest brother Murong Lun had always kept in touch with each other through letters, now The world is divided, and it takes at least two or three months for a letter from home to reach each other...
Therefore, now that his nephew Murong Zhao has arrived, Murong Yuliang can't help but ask. He has not seen those relatives and family members in the family for seven years, and he is very concerned about them.
After chatting for about half an hour, Murong Yuliang went straight to the topic and asked:
"Why did your father ask you to come this time?"
Regarding this question, Murong Zhao said:
"It's not a big deal. The Luo'an court is now in an increasingly difficult situation, so Shangguan Hongyuan is increasingly pressuring my father. He wants my father to write to Lu Jianchao to completely cut off the Fengwu Army's financial path in Jiangnan. Not only In order to completely tie the family to their chariot, Shangguan Hongyuan even forcibly designated several marriages!"
Come and try it quickly. 】
"Seventh sister was already engaged to the third son of the Liu family. Our family and the Liu family were very satisfied with this marriage. However, she was forced to break up and marry Shangguan Kui of the Shangguan family. Even I want to marry a Shangguan family. Woman, I really don’t like the arrogance of that Shangguan woman, she doesn’t have the gentleness and virtuousness that a woman should have!”
"So my father arranged for me to escape, and also asked me to come to my second uncle to explore the way!"
"Exploring the way?" Murong Yuliang was a little confused when he heard this. What did his nephew mean?
Murong Zhao nodded and said:
"After the Battle of Yunbin, the Luo'an court has shown signs of decline. Coupled with its repeated forbearance to the Kipchak Khanate, the Luo'an court has become increasingly alienated from Shangguan Hongyuan!"
"So the family is also considering whether to transfer part of the property and personnel to leave. It happens that you, the second uncle, are now serving as the chief minister of Hebei and Henan, so the family is considering whether to transfer part of the property to Hebei and Henan... ··············”
Hearing what Murong Zhao said, Murong Yuliang also understood the family's thoughts. After pondering for a while, he asked:
"How much property is the family prepared to transfer?"
Meeting Murong Yuliang's gaze, Murong Zhao raised a finger. Seeing this, Murong Yuliang frowned but still asked:
"Ten thousand taels of silver?"
Murong Zhao heard this and said softly:
"Ten thousand taels of gold!"
Murong Yu's conscience was shocked as soon as these words came out. He was wondering why only ten thousand taels of silver were transferred, but he really didn't expect that the finger raised by his nephew was actually pointing to gold!
As the saying goes, collections in prosperous times are gold in troubled times. Although the situation in Hebei and Henan has gradually stabilized under the rule of Fengwu Army, gold is still a first-class hard currency. As the Chief Envoy of Hebei and Henan Murong Yuliang knows, now Hebei and Henan On the Henan market, one tael of gold can be exchanged for at least thirteen taels of silver. If you don't rush to buy it out slowly, you can even exchange it for fifteen taels of silver.
Therefore, these ten thousand taels of gold are definitely a huge sum of money!
After being surprised, Murong Yuliang also started to think about it. Although he was not the head of the Murong family, as the second brother of Murong Lun and the elder of the Murong family, he still had some understanding of the family property. If he remembered correctly , although the family has accumulated some gold, it only amounts to two or three thousand taels.
Seemingly seeing Murong Yuliang's doubts, Murong Zhao explained:
"Second uncle is like this! My father sold most of the grain in the family granary to a few grain merchants in Luo'an, and got seven thousand taels of gold from them... ···············”
Murong Yuliang was a little confused when he heard this. Although gold is very strong in today's world, there is nothing more useful than food at the moment. The food in the Murong family's granary can be said to be an important part of the family's influence. Murong How could Lun exchange grain for this gold?
Murong Zhao continued:
"My second uncle is like this. Some time ago, the major grain companies joined forces to push up the price of grain in Luo'an. My father had a premonition that Shangguan Hongyuan would intervene. In order to prevent Shangguan Hongyuan from forcing the family to sell grain at a low price, he So my father took advantage of the situation and sold the grain to those major grain merchants at high prices in exchange for the gold!"
"After completing this transaction, Shangguan Hongyuan really planned to stabilize the price of grain. In order to obtain enough grain to meet market demand, this guy did not care about his face and even threatened to use force. The Zhang family, the Fan family, and the Liu family all I was forced to hand over the food in my family’s granary!”
After hearing this, Murong Yuliang said with great admiration:
"Your father is really clever and clever, it's amazing!"
After speaking, he pondered for a while and continued:
"If the gold can be transported safely, I can naturally protect the gold!"
"However, in order to share some risks, I suggest that the family consider depositing part of the gold into the Guangtai Hetai Bank in Hebei Province. The deposit now earns 1% interest per year, and the Chief Secretary serves as a guarantee..." ··············”
"Guangtai combined bill number? Interest on deposits?" Murong Zhao was a little surprised.
Just when Murong Yuliang was about to tell his nephew about the Fengwu Army's ticket number reform, there was a knock on the door outside the study. Hearing this, Murong Yuliang frowned but still said in a deep voice:
"come in!"
After Murong Yuliang finished speaking, Butler Wang walked in from outside the house and said softly to Murong Yuliang:
"Master, Fang Peng has something to ask you!"
After hearing this, Murong Yuliang said impatiently:
"Let him talk about it tomorrow if there is anything!"
"Master, Fang Peng is very anxious. He said he has something big to ask you!"
After hearing this, Murong Yuliang also calmed down. Fang Peng was promoted from Liaoyang and brought to Jiyu's old subordinates. He was very calm and cautious. If he actually said such a thing at this time, it must be true. Look to yourself for urgent matters.
Seeing Murong Yuliang's slightly solemn expression, Murong Zhao also stood up very wisely and said:
"My second aunt loved me the most when I was a child. I just entered the house and haven't paid a visit to my aunt yet. It's really a sin! Second uncle, you are busy here now, I'm going to visit my aunt!"
Murong Yuliang also nodded slightly and said:
"Okay! Your second aunt keeps talking about you too!"
As Murong Zhao left, Fang Peng was also brought to Murong Yuliang. Although he knew that Fang Peng must have encountered something, Murong Yuliang never expected that Fang Peng would fall to his knees as soon as he saw him. He cried loudly on the ground:
"Sir! I was wrongly accused..."

Yijing, late at night, Gufu
Looking at Huo San in front of him, Gu Sansi said coldly:
"Are you trying to kill me?"
Facing Gu Sansi's questioning, Huo San also looked guilty, bowed deeply to Gu Sansi and said:
"Mr. Gu, it is very dangerous for me to visit late at night, but I really have no choice. Please save me!"
"Don't worry, I'm going to be very careful on this trip. The inner guards don't know anything!"
Although he didn't want to see Huo San at this juncture, looking at Huo San in front of him, Gu Sansi felt helpless, knowing that the yellow mud was falling off his crotch, and it was either shit or shit!
Since he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to wade through the muddy water. Gu Sansi sighed again and asked Huo San:
"What the hell is going on?"
Huo San felt happy when he heard this, knowing that Gu Sansi was willing to help him, and immediately told Gu Sansi all the causes and consequences of the matter.
Listening to Huo San's story, Gu Sansi's face became more and more serious. When Huo San finished speaking, he asked Huo San coldly:
"I have a question for you! Huo San, please answer me honestly!"
Seeing that Gu Sansi looked so serious, Huo San also said solemnly:
"Mr. Gu! Just ask! Since I came to you for help, I will naturally tell you everything I know..."
"Do you know who Ye Zhanpeng's family is?" Looking into Huo San's eyes, Gu Sansi asked word by word:
As soon as these words came out, Huo San said helplessly:
"The man behind this incident is indeed Ye Zhanpeng. I, Lao Ye, and Lao Zhang were all taken advantage of by this kid. Lao Ye and I only thought that this kid was doing some smuggling and using his power to gain some benefits. Lao Zhang thought This kid wants to covet those discarded iron materials from the First Manufacturing Bureau!"
"Who knew that this kid was so ambitious and dared to smuggle arms? Although we are a little greedy for money, we are not so crazy and crazy. If I had known that this kid was so big, I would have been the first to kill him. He's been arrested!"
Seeing that what Huo San said was not fake, Gu Sansi also fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Huo San was also a little anxious. He came to see Gu Sansi late at night this time, but he asked Gu Sansi to give him advice and plead with Ye Mingsheng. , in his opinion, Ye Zhanpeng’s wife is almost married now!
After thinking about a cup of tea, Gu Sansi asked again:
"Did you find out who was the Chief Secretary of Liaoyang who received money from Ye Zhanpeng?"
Faced with Gu Sansi's question, Huo San said without hesitation:
"It hasn't been found out yet, but there are only a few people in Liaoyang Chief Secretary who are capable of doing this for Ye Zhanpeng. It's not difficult to find this person one by one... ·······I am in urgent need now, so I will leave this matter to my subordinates!"
Listening to Huo San's story, Gu Sansi asked with a flash of light in his eyes:
"Why did Ye Zhanpeng burn these documents before he died?"
Hearing this, Huo San became more and more confused. He didn't know what Gu Sansi wanted to say, but he still thought about it patiently and replied:
"The Chief Secretary of Liaoyang, the Inspector General, our Coordination Office, Dadongsheng Company, the First General Manufacturing Bureau, the Second General Manufacturing Bureau, and various prefectures and counties in Liaoyang, many people have accepted his money. Ye Zhanpeng burned these documents, it should be If you want to destroy evidence, protect these people!”
Gu Sansi heard this and said coldly:
"Is that what you think?"
Hearing Gu Sansi's rhetorical question, Huo San subconsciously thought about what he just said, but he still felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Seeing this, Gu San thought about it and said:
"According to what you said, Huo San, under the strict orders of the commander to investigate, Ye Zhanpeng has become completely unprotectable and has become an abandoned son. Huo San, you yourself said that under the circumstances at that time, you accepted his money like you did. What do people want to do most?"
As soon as these words came out, Huo San was stunned for a moment. Seeing this, Gu Sansi continued to say quietly:
"Ye Zhanpeng is able to weave such a large network of interests. He is also a very smart person. He will definitely think that what you want to do most at that time is to silence him and prevent him from talking nonsense after he is arrested, and you all Everyone bites it out!"
As Gu Sansi spoke, Huo San's face became more and more serious, and Gu Sansi continued to ask the most critical question!
"So why do you think he burned the evidence when he was dying to protect those of you who wanted to kill him?"
"If I were Ye Zhanpeng! Knowing that I was going to die in that situation, I would have dragged you to be buried with me. I couldn't wait to hand over all the evidence in my hand. How could I burn all these things myself?"
After speaking, Gu Sansi patted Huo San on the shoulder and said calmly:
"This matter is far from over, and it is not as simple as you think..."
"Although everyone's comments are not displayed due to the starting point, I can see it in the background, so I still ask everyone to speak enthusiastically and listen clearly! PS: What do you think of this chapter? You can take a guess about this. What’s going to happen next!”
