Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 528 In a dark place under the lamp, someone is so bold
Zhao Pu grabbed a few copper coins and walked a long way before he bought a flax cake.

Compared with the market situation in the earlier years, Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo has been much depressed.

From the flax cakes, it can be seen that the streets of Tokyo were full of hawkers selling cakes. Although flax cakes are indeed much more expensive than other coarse grains, they are not like what they are now, and even Zhao Pu feels a bit extravagant .

Moreover, the current price is three times that of before the Khitan people entered Tokyo, and it is not easy to buy, and the sesame seeds on the cake are almost gone.

Zhao Pu took a bit of a cherished bite, his Yue family's Wei family was originally a local family, but after the Khitan entered the Central Plains, they suffered from military disasters, and now he is required to help.

Therefore, although Zhao Pu's income is still guaranteed, he still feels that it is quite difficult, and he is only willing to buy one flax cake.

The Son of Heaven this week is a benevolent lord who neither kills nor loots, but unfortunately life is getting more and more difficult.

Sighing, Zhao Pu turned around and walked into a house next to the Daxiangguo Temple. After passing through several houses, he came to a slightly dark room.

There were several fat, bald men standing at the door of the room. These men were wearing thick cowhide armor, with long daggers stuck in their waists, and heavy weapons such as spear bones were placed in the corners.

"Zhao Dalang is here, go to the side room and change clothes, Master Minghui has arrived, and I need to take inventory of the third library of Jiazi in the near future."

Zhao Pu nodded, walked towards a small room, and soon got dressed and came out.

It's just that the so-called clothes are just a half arm that clings to the body, and there is only a pair of shorts with a small nose under the crotch.

This is because Zhao Pu is about to enter the treasury to take inventory. This kind of clothes that are very close-fitting and have no pockets, etc., is to prevent him from bringing gold and silver with him.

That's right!This house located behind the Daxiangguo Temple also belongs to the Daxiangguo Temple.

Moreover, it is the account book room of the bank in the Daxiangguo Temple, which is in charge of money, and Zhao Pu is the small shopkeeper in charge of the bank.

Different from the history, the Khitan invaded a few years earlier, and Zhao Pu just got married, so he didn't want his wife to go to Yanzhou to join the army.

And Lanruo, such as Daxiangguo Temple, also happened to have a prosperous bank business, and there was a shortage of people who could write and count, so Zhao Pu stayed in Tokyo.

Wearing shorts with half-arm and calf nose, was blindfolded and brought into the carriage, rattling in the dark, I don't know how long it has passed.

When he was supported by his arm and walked a certain distance, and then his blindfold was taken off, Zhao Pu had already come to a huge warehouse.

In an instant, Zhao Pu was shocked. This warehouse, called A[-], was bigger than the B[-] warehouse a few days ago, with more property accumulated.

And a fat monk, with a dozen bald monks, was standing in the warehouse first.

He looked at Zhao Pu and other small shopkeepers of the bank, and threw down a golden glutinous rice ball the size of a baby's fist with an arrogant expression.

With a jingle, the golden scorpion was thrown into a pile of shiny gold and silver like a stone.

Master Minghui's icy voice came later, not like a temple mage, but like a man-eating ghost.

"Two things, one, don't entrain, anyone who dares to entrain even a little bit will be killed and thrown into the Bian River. This is a troubled time, and death is no big deal.

Two, don't whisper, if you don't want to lose this job, if you still want to support your family, then keep your mouth shut.

The inventory will be completed within three days, and there will be a big reward at that time. "

Zhao Pu didn't have any dissatisfaction with the threat of Master Minghui, because he really needed this job very much.

Without this job, his sick wife, young son, and beautiful sister-in-law will all starve to death.

However, during the endless counting and estimating, Zhao Pu touched something, which was a gold medal with dark brown blood stains, and the three big characters of Zhenbaoer were engraved on the gold medal.

"My son, my treasure, she's only 12 years old! She's only 12 years old! You bastards!"

The miserable scream seemed to still be echoing in Zhao Pu's ears, and a picture slowly unfolded in Zhao Pu's mind.

The one crying was his neighbor, a small official surnamed Zhou from the Yantie Division. His family had a lot of assets.

The little official also has a daughter who is regarded as a treasure, she is really beautiful, and the little official often brags to Zhao Pu, saying that in the future she will not marry unless she is in a town.

Zhao Pu has seen this gold medal engraved with the words Zhen Bao'er several times, because Zhen Bao'er often comes to play with his sister-in-law, and the two are similar in age, and Zhen Bao'er sometimes shows it off.

Zhao Pu felt uncomfortable all over while touching the gold medal.

What a wonderful woman Zhenbaoer is!He was taken away by those ferocious northern captives like a kitten, and even the little official who cried and scolded miserably had his head cut off with a knife.

Suddenly, a thunder flashed in Zhao Pu's mind. Wasn't Zhen Bao'er snatched away by the Khitan people?
This warehouse is also owned by the bank. It is supposed to store gold and silver brocades. Why is there Zhen Baoer's gold medal and other miscellaneous gold hairpins and jade pendants?
Could it be?Could it be that the people from the Qianzhuang colluded with the Khitan people?

In other words, the Khitan people who went to fight against the emperor's army stored a large amount of gold and silver in the bank.

Thinking of this, Zhao Pu felt a burst of sweat on his head. No wonder they had to cover their eyes when cleaning the vault recently.

Are such tense and strict measures covering up this?

Oops!If it is similar to what I think, it must not be discovered. If someone sees it through, it will definitely lead to playing in the Bian River.

Zhao Pu held back his trembling hands, and quickly threw the gold medal into the wooden box beside him, and then quickly wrote on the account book, "Gold medals are worth two, two or three dollars." '

. . . .

In the Daning Palace, Shi Chonggui was originally used to keep the side halls for the beautiful palace people from all over the world.

Zhang Liecheng, Li Xiaojie, Cao Dong, the son of Cao Wantong of the Hexi Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Lieming of the Zhang family in Shazhou, and other high-level officials of Jinyi envoys are discussing countermeasures.

Zhang Lieming squinted his eyes and slowly played with the dagger in his hand. Zhang Zhao's nephew looked like a playboy, but in fact, he was indeed a playboy.

Good food, likes to fight horses and dogs, but is quite talented in intelligence and tricks, so Zhang Zhao threw him into the envoy in brocade clothes and became one of the three deputy commanders.

"Brother, let's underestimate those bald donkeys! If they go on like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to exchange them until next year." Zhang Lieming said with a grin.

According to Zhang Zhao's instructions, the Jinyi envoy found Feng Yu and the craftsman who printed Liao bank notes, and directly bought 300,000 coins to run.

It also spread the word that Khitan not only took away 500,000 guan from Gelanruo Bank, but 2 million guan.

I wanted to rely on this to directly run the bank of these great monks and let them have a taste of it.

Zhang Liecheng and others also thought that the great monks might not admit the authenticity of these bank notes.

But that's exactly what they want!If the monks dare to do this, their reputation will collapse.

In the end, who knows, the Tokyo Bank Association actually admitted that it was valid, and bit the bullet and cashed thousands of strings.

But just when the envoys in Jinyi wanted to continue the run, the bank would announce that due to the long distance where the silver was stored and the journey was unsafe, it would limit the daily exchange of Liao banknotes to [-] guan.

Zhang Liecheng saw it at the time, hey!Come to this trick, so I mobilized other merchants who had saved money in the bank and held Hexi bank notes to exchange.

This rule of only exchanging [-] Guan per day will immediately cause the bank to lose its reputation.

However, something even more unexpected happened, the bank will not have a limit on these people at all, only when they go to exchange with the Liao country bank notes, there will be a limit.

In this way, it will be troublesome. Originally, rich households and merchants in Tokyo thought it would be safest to store their money in a bank, because if they stored it in their own homes, they might be robbed.

After running for a few days, they saw that it had no effect at all, so they simply deposited the gold and silver brocades they took out one after another.

Made!The envoy in Jinyi worked for a long time, although he won six or seven thousand guan for nothing, but the task was not completed, and instead of helping Lanruo Bank, the reputation of the bank was blown out.

Zhang Liecheng glanced around at the few people in the room, and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, I heard from your lord that if our envoys in Jinyi do well, we will be promoted to Jinyi Guards, known as Jinyi's Pro-Military Guards.

In the future, not only the current intelligence and investigations can continue to be managed, but also the shelter officials and the investigations of states and counties across the country will all be handed over to us.

The title of an envoy in brocade clothes is always somewhat nondescript, and it might be eliminated one day.

But once organized into a military guard, it is still a pro-army, which is like a forbidden army, and it is a formal yamen.

You are the sons of heaven who are close to people, so you should know the pros and cons.

But if even the Lanruo Bank Club can't be won, the emperor thinks we are useless, and if he doesn't set up a brocade army, the wealth and power of the descendants will be gone. "

When Cao Dong heard it, his saliva almost fell down, and he scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.

Their brocade envoys are now like a yamen, Zhang Liecheng is right, they may be eliminated at any time.

Only by becoming a bodyguard in brocade clothes can he continue the power and wealth of his children and grandchildren.

The words are clear, the four people in the house began to use their brains quickly.

Zhang Lieming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands together, "I remembered, that day when I went to the south of the city to look for a joker, I happened to meet a beautiful little lady. Uh! Cough cough cough!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Lieming suddenly coughed a few times, put away his lewd look, and suddenly became serious.

"That day, a certain person was doing routine investigation in the south of the city, and heard a piece of news from a young lady surnamed Wei.

She said that her brother-in-law worked as a treasurer in a certain place, but she went to see it secretly, and there seemed to be many strange fat monks going in and out of that place.

Moreover, her brother-in-law always disappears for at least two or three days, and at most five or six days, as soon as he starts work. "

After Cao Dong heard this, he immediately came over, and said cautiously: "Someone also found a piece of news, saying that when the Khitan people were in Tokyo, they also liked to store their goods in the bank, but it was not very honorable, so don't worry about it. Someone mentioned it."

Li Xiaojie suddenly opened his half-closed eyes, "If the news discovered by Commander Cao is true, it will be mutually confirmed with the news obtained by XX.

The accountants of the Daxiangguo Temple rarely showed up recently, and the monks Minghui and Mingshen who were in charge of affairs outside the temple seemed to have disappeared overnight.

According to our spies' investigation, they went to other places to clear the warehouse. "

Speaking of this, Li Xiaojie, who has always been full of brains and big brains, looked at the other three with a low voice, and said slowly.

"Everyone, tell me, is it possible that the Lanruo Bank in Tokyo may have been blackmailed by the Khitans for 500,000 coins, but in fact they absorbed the gold and silver brocades that the Khitans looted in Tokyo.

Don't you ever think that the Khitan people were defeated, even the Khitan Lord was killed by us, these bald donkeys just want to swallow this ill-gotten wealth? "

'hiss! Zhang Liecheng gasped!
He still believed in Buddhism, so it was hard to believe for a while, but he knew what his mission was, and after calming down, he looked at Zhang Lieming and said.

"Jiulang, you dispatch people to bring the whole family of the little lady of the Wei family to our territory. Remember, you must try to avoid people's eyes and ears. Whether it is true or not, you can find out at once.

Li Xiaojie and Cao Dong immediately mobilized all the remaining people to search the city to see if there are any other people who can write and count, who have suddenly disappeared for several days recently, and if there are, find them all for me.

The Qianzhuanghui was created by the emperor, and no one can use it to hide filth.

The future of our envoys in brocade clothes is at stake. "
