PS: Thanks to I am your little brother, Canglang 001, saynol, and several book friends for their rewards.
The storekeeper of the grain store said with a smile: "As soon as I heard that the General Military Mansion wanted food, the grain store immediately prepared it. No, it was delivered as soon as it was collected."
"Well, yes, Shopkeeper Wang is interested." Chen Gong looked satisfied, and immediately said to the servant beside him, "Go and open the side door to let the grain truck enter the house."
The servant was called and ran back to the house.
Chen Gong smiled and said to the shopkeeper of the grain store: "Shopkeeper Wang, please do me a favor and take the car to the side entrance of the General Military Mansion first."
"You all follow Mr. Chen's orders," the grain shop owner said politely.
There was a large wooden box containing five thousand taels of silver pulled on the cart. Naturally, you couldn't move it down from the cart in front of the General Military Mansion, you had to avoid people.
One of the servants beside Chen Gong came out and led the grain shop owner towards the side door of the General Military Mansion.
When the grain truck arrived at the side door, the shopkeeper found that the side door had been opened wide, and standing at the door was the servant who had run into the General Military Mansion before.
The grain truck entered the General Military Mansion from the side door smoothly.
The servant guarding the door waited for the grain truck to come in, then closed the side door and bolted it.
"You guys wait here for a while, sir, he will be here soon." The servant who fastened the bolt on the door told the storekeeper.
The grain store manager nodded, and waited patiently in the yard with the accompanying grain store clerk.
Not long after, Chen Gong brought a dozen servants to the yard where the grain trucks were parked.
"Mr. Chen, the money is all on the grain cart. In order to hide it from others, it is covered with a layer of grain." The shopkeeper of the grain shop came up to him and explained with a smile.
Chen Gong nodded and said to the servants he brought with him: "You guys go and unload everything from the carriage."
A dozen servants came forward.
The grain bags on the grain truck were only covered with one layer. After the servants removed the grain bags, the wooden boxes inside were exposed.
Chen Gong quickly walked to the grain truck, reached out and grabbed the lid of one of the wooden boxes, and raised his hand to open it.
Bright silver appeared before his eyes.
Seeing the silver in the wooden box, Chen Gong's Adam's apple squirmed, and he quickly closed the lid of the wooden box and said to the servant next to him: "Move all these boxes down, be careful not to damage them."
Even though he knew in his heart that the money would not be broken, he still couldn't help but subconsciously give a warning to those careless servants.
At this time, the servants around also knew that the wooden box contained silver, and it was the first time for many of them to see so much silver in front of them.
When moving the wooden boxes, the servants did not dare to be careless. They carefully moved the wooden boxes one by one off the grain truck and placed them in an open space not far away.
Five wooden boxes were not too much, and they were all moved off the grain truck in a few trips.
Chen Gong walked to the five wooden boxes and opened the lids of the wooden boxes one by one. From time to time, his big hand picked out a piece of silver from inside, weighed it, and finally put it back with a look of reluctance.
As a staff member around Wang Bao, he handles quite a lot of money, but it is the second time to see so much money in front of him. The last time was the five thousand taels of silver sent by Tiger Character Banner. Just go and listen to books
"Mr. Chen, the five thousand taels of silver are here. Do you want to check the amount?" the shopkeeper asked Chen Gong humbly.
After hearing this, Chen Gong withdrew his gaze towards the silver and said, "No need, since your Tiger Flag has sent the silver, I believe the amount will not be small, otherwise you will also be the unlucky ones."
It was neither soft nor hard to scare the grain shop owner.
The shopkeeper bowed his waist and said: "Don't dare, I guarantee it will be five thousand taels. I will never deceive the commander-in-chief about the number."
"Don't you dare." Chen Gong snorted coldly and said immediately, "Okay, the things have been delivered. Shopkeeper Wang can go back."
After receiving the money, he immediately issued an eviction order.
"This..." the grain store manager hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly, "I wonder if I can meet with the Commander-in-Chief. Such a large sum of money has been sent here. I have to have a certain letter before I can go back."
Chen Gong frowned when he heard this, and his voice suddenly turned cold, and he said: "No matter what your status is, you are not worthy of meeting my master. Even if your boss comes, you must bow your head when you see my master, let alone You are a grain store manager who cannot stand up to the table."
"Mr. Chen misunderstood. My identity is naturally incomparable with that of my proprietor. It's really hard to explain to my proprietor if I just go back after such a large sum of money was sent to me." The shopkeeper of the grain shop said with a grimace.
Chen Gong snorted and said, "My lord really wants this money. If your tiger character flag is unwilling, just use a cart to pull it back."
"No, no, no, Mr. Chen misunderstood. We are willing to give the money, willing to give it." The shop owner did not want to really anger Chen Gong in front of him, so he had to lie down repeatedly.
Wang Bao, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, is also needed to stop the invading Mongolian army. He will not really offend the people of the commander-in-chief.
Seeing the submissive look of the grain shop owner, Chen Gong showed a hint of ridicule on his lips, and said in a light tone: "My lord uses this money to pay the people below, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.
Chen Gong waved his hand and said: "Okay, you have nothing to do here, go back to your grain store!"
"I also hope that Mr. Chen can have more kind words around Mr. General." The shopkeeper of the grain shop saluted Chen Gong.
Chen Gong waved his hand impatiently, indicating that the other party could leave.
A servant on the side ran to the side door, reopened the side door, and allowed the grain truck, grain store manager, and others to leave through the side door.
When the side door closed again, Chen Gong said to the servants around him: "Send these boxes to the accounting room, count them and put them into storage."
The five wooden boxes were carried to the inner courtyard by the servants.
After leaving the General Military Mansion, the storekeeper and others drove the carriage to the grain store.
On the way, a waiter asked the shopkeeper with a puzzled look on his face, "Shopkeeper, why do we send so much money to the General Military Mansion? The Mongolian army invaded the Xuanfu, so he should be the General Manager of the Xuanfu." The soldiers will come forward to solve the problem."
The grain shop owner who was sitting on the grain cart looked at the boy who was walking beside the grain cart and said, "You are right. The Mongolian invasion is a matter for the local government. But don't forget one thing. Our Tiger Flag went to the grasslands to build forts and we couldn’t hide it from anyone. Once the court determines that the invading Mongolian army was caused by our Tiger Flag, who do you think will be the unlucky one in the end?”
"What do you mean by the shopkeeper, that the court will blame us for the Mongols' crimes?" The clerk's brows knitted together.
The shopkeeper moved his crossed right leg and said, "Do you think we adults will give away our money to others in vain? This money is not easy to get. It is hush money. If you take the money, you must keep your mouth shut." .”
"I understand." The man suddenly realized.
There is no longer any resistance in my heart to giving free money to the General Military Mansion.
