Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 456 The Most Profitable Business

The Nufu Sect controlled the remnants of the Gu clan.

Xu Zhiqiong once speculated about this matter, because Xiao Songting himself has mastered many Gu insects and Gu masters.

He is one of the core members of the Nufu Sect, which is enough to prove that the Nufu Sect has secret contacts with the Gu Clan.

Shan Yan said that the remnants of the Gu clan held Daxuan's ordnance in their hands.

Daxuan had indeed lost a batch of ordnance, which was supposed to be sent to the northern border, but was detained for a long time in the hands of Liu Xuxing, a doctor in the Ministry of War.

After the incident, he raised half of the ordnance and sent it to the northern border, but the northern border did not actually receive it.

As for the remaining half of the ordnance, it was also missing, because Liu Xuxing himself became a Gu Shi, and in his outer house, a bloody battle was triggered, a desperate battle between Wu Xu and Yuan Exing.

This part of the ordnance seems to have been sent to the Nufu Cult.

Liu Xuxing is a member of Nufu Cult.

It is Liang Yuming who can lead Yuan'e star to attack the capital.

It was also Liang Yuming who raised Gu on Liu Xuxing's body.

Liu Xuxing should be under Liang Yuming's command. How could he become a member of Nufu Cult?
Could it be that Liang Yuming also has contacts with the Nufu Sect?

Leaving the relationship between Liang Yuming and the Nufu Sect aside, one thing is for sure, Liang Yuming has an important think tank beside him, and this think tank is Xiao Songting, who is the core of the Nufu Sect.

It is him again!
He also had contacts with Bai Wuchang and Bi Wusheng.

He was probably the one who did business with Du Yanjun.

He still has contacts with Ren Songde, and there must be his contacts in the judge's way.

He also had contacts with Liang Xiaoen, and even the domineering Canglong could get in his way.

In the underworld and the yang world, there is no place he can't eat.

Could it be that the remnants of the Gu clan are also in his hands?
Regardless of whether it is in his hands or not, it must be in the hands of Nufu Cult. There is no need for Shanyan to lie about this matter.

If the Nufu Cult takes down the Gu clan, or even the entire Yu Xianguo, the situation of Daxuan will be very dangerous, and the situation of Judge Dao will also be very dangerous, Suzaku Shengdao and Xuanwu Mingdao may have unexpected changes.

This matter cannot be ignored.

Xu Zhiqiong was thinking about countermeasures, and when he was about to leave the palace, he saw Lu Yunxi's face covered with sweat, blocking his way.

"Master Hou, you can make it easier for me to find you. The Holy Majesty told you to go to the Secret Pavilion to discuss money with you!"

Why are you withdrawing money again!
Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his forehead, followed Lu Yunxi to the secret pavilion, and seeing Emperor Changle's mournful face, Xu Zhiqiong directly stated: "I will not pay back the [-] silver!"

"Zhiqiong, the silver is really not enough. That bastard Liao Shuming cut corners on the embankments in various states, especially in Fuzhou and Yunzhou. There is no decent embankment. If they are all repaired, at least three million silver will be needed.
It's raining in the south now, the river water is rising every day, Zhang Zhuyang has invested in all his belongings, but he really can't stand it anymore, brother, what should you do about this matter? "

Did Zhang Zhuyang fight for his fortune?

This guy's pattern is coming up!
He has been a censor for many years, and he has been greedy for money, so he should be able to take out tens of thousands of taels of property.

But one is that he didn't dare to take all of them, otherwise he couldn't explain clearly.

The second is that even if he takes all of them, it will not solve the fundamental problem.

Three million silver, where can I prepare it?
Emperor Chang Le rubbed his hands and said: "Based on the accumulation of these days, we barely have a million in our hands. I planned to send it to Ji Qi and let him use it as military resources to fight against Tu Nu first.
It stands to reason that this capital can definitely be snatched back and make a fortune, but now that Gongsun Wen is making trouble in the north, Ji Qi dare not take it lightly! "

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "Unless the Nufu Sect in the northern border is cleaned up, Ji Qi must not send troops. If he sends troops rashly, the backyard will catch fire anytime and anywhere."

Emperor Chang Le shook his head and said: "Don't talk about the backyard, the matter of the river embankment has already hit the beams of the house, especially in Yunzhou, there must be no mistakes, your money for food..."

"Don't always worry about the money on my food! If my food can't be collected, how can I pay you back?"

"Let's not talk about Shiyi first," Emperor Chang Le said, rubbing his temples, "If Yunzhou suffers a disaster, I'm afraid I won't be able to raise even the army rations. If I don't pay the army wages, I'm afraid the defenders will be in trouble again."

Yunzhou is located in the frontier, at the junction of Daxuan and Yuxian. There are [-] troops stationed in the state, which is directly related to the safety of the South Gate of Daxuan.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "What good idea does Your Majesty have?"

"It's all at this point, what else can I think? I said sell the palace, and now the palace can't be sold, and I don't know which bird spread the news that the former king's palace lived in bad luck, even if it added a new one. Jun's joy is of no avail, I lowered the price to [-], and no one is willing to sell it now."

"Don't be in a hurry to sell the palace."

"If you don't sell the palace, what are you selling? I intend to sell the harem too..."

"The harem cannot be sold!"

"Then what to sell?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Sell war!"

"Sell war? How do you sell this thing?" Emperor Chang Le was puzzled.

Xu Zhiqiong paced back and forth in the secret pavilion. After clearing his mind, he lowered his voice and said to Emperor Changle: "This is a good deal. It not only eliminates disasters for us, but also earns money for us. Make a good neighbor."

"How do you say that?"

Xu Zhiqiong took the map and stippled it.

Emperor Chang Le looked at it for a moment, nodded and said: "I have also checked this matter, it is indeed the envoy of Nufu Sect Leader, this business can be done, I will prepare the letter right now."

Xu Zhiqiong grabbed Emperor Changle and said, "What letter are you preparing?"

Emperor Chang Le said: "Business, don't we have to talk to someone first?"

He is really different from Emperor Zhaoxing, completely different in his bones.

Emperor Zhao Xing never looked down on Emperor Yu Xian, how could he take the initiative to talk to him?
For his own life and face, Emperor Zhaoxing did not hesitate to sacrifice everything in Daxuan.

Emperor Chang Le was just the opposite of him.

For Daxuan's livelihood, Emperor Changle was willing to risk his life, let alone face.

But as far as this matter is concerned, he cannot take the initiative!Being too proactive can make business difficult.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "You can't come forward to talk, I have to do it, otherwise the price is not easy to negotiate, if you can persuade the cabinet, and then persuade the two princesses, this matter will be considered a success!"

Emperor Chang Le considered it carefully and said: "The cabinet is easy to say, Yan Anqing has suffered a lot from the Nufu Sect, he should agree with both public and private matters, and the other cabinet ministers, let me persuade you slowly,
Don't worry about Sixth Sister. As for what Ah Fang is thinking, I will discuss it with her at that time. Since there is going to be a war in the south, the war in the north should be slowed down first! "

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Xiao Huan, you can't be too slow. After a long time of relaxation, Mao Cha became rampant again. We must find out the whereabouts of Gongsun Wen as soon as possible."

Emperor Chang Le thought about the candidate: "How about sending Li Shabai? Although it is only a vain job, he is also an official appointed by the imperial court, so it is only natural for him to do errands for the imperial court!"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Painter Li is none other than Li, but since he is on a business for the imperial court, he cannot be treated badly for the expenses."

"Don't worry, this little money is nothing to worry about. I will give him the right to do things cheaply. Liu Jiaqi, Zhang Shen, and Yuan Weiji are waiting to take office. I will assign them to Li Shabai. They are more familiar with the northern border, presumably. It can also come in handy.”

After two discussions, Xu Zhiqiong returned to Baoci Hall, found Shanyan, and first asked Shang Yijian to buy decent clothes for her.

Shan Yan took the clothes and said dumbly: "What's wrong with you? Are you asking me to dress better and send me on my way?"

"This is to let you dress better and be a matchmaker for me. I have a business and I need your help."

Xu Zhiqiong told Shan Yan about the business, Shan Yan was stunned for a while, and asked, "Is this true?"

"I am the Marquis of Daxuan, do you take this seriously?"

"If this is true..." Shan Yan's voice trembled, "I will kneel down to Lord Hou!"

The strong woman bent her knees and really knelt in front of Xu Zhiqiong.

Although it is a detailed work, it can be seen that she is loyal to Yu Xianhuang.

Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to help Shan Yan up: "Don't do anything to bully Jill, I will let you go today, you hurry up and leave, first find someone who can speak strong, and report to your emperor, I think it's a big deal Zong Bo Yanhuan is a nice person, why don't you discuss it with him first..."

"You don't need to look for Yanhuan, the person you should look for is in the capital! Lord Hou, if you are sincere, come with me to Zhuque Palace!"

……

Xu Zhiqiong followed Shanyan to Suzaku Palace.

Today's Suzaku Palace is still very deserted.

After Emperor Changle ascended the throne, he quickly rehabilitated the Suzaku cultivator who had been wronged. After paying the compensation, he gave the Suzaku cultivator a chance to choose.

They can choose to return to Suzaku Palace, or they can choose to stay in the household department as officials.

Emperor Chang Le was very sincere, but Yu Xianguo lost his enthusiasm.

They didn't send people to run the Zhuque palaces in various places, but only left a big uncle as an idler in the Zhuque palace in the capital.

And this idler was Mo Chi who succeeded Yan Huan.

This young man, when he failed to ask for armaments, directly withdrew a large number of Suzaku cultivators to Yu Xian, instead of praying for a good harvest, he used a trick to draw salary from the bottom of the pot at the critical moment of the autumn harvest.

Now that Daxuan's food is running low, it has a lot to do with Mo Chi, but no one in Daxuan has the right to blame Mochi.

As far as the humiliation suffered by Suzaku cultivators, Mo Chi made the right choice for them.

Mo Chi was a little surprised to learn that Yunhou and Shanyan had come.

He knew Shan Yan's identity, and also knew Shan Yan's situation.

A captured spy came here with a big law enforcement officer. According to common sense, Xu Zhiqiong should come to question the crime.

Mo Chi was very calm. He first asked people to set up the magic circle, leaving a way out, and then led people to welcome Xu Zhiqiong calmly.

"The Marquis Yun is here, what can I do?"

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Shan Yan and said: "The little Zongbo of your country has suffered a lot under the hands of King Xuan Chou, and now that Daxuan has established a new king, today I will send little Zongbo back to Zhuque Palace to show the sincerity of the two countries' repairing. .”

Send back the detailed work?

This is not normal behavior. Mo Chi always felt that Xu Zhiqiong had something to say, and Shan Yan hurriedly explained: "Uncle Dazong, Marquis Yun is here to help us fight the war."

"Help us fight?" Mo Chi looked sideways at Xu Zhiqiong, "I don't know how you want to help?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Your country must be short of armaments to put down the rebellion of the Gu clan. It is announced that it will sell [-] armaments to your country. I don't know what your country means?"

Armaments of [-] people!

Mo Chi was overjoyed at first, then frowned again.

Yu Xian was indeed short of armaments, but [-] armaments were too much, Yu Xianhuang couldn't even raise [-] troops.

But you can't tell Xu Zhiqiong this, once you say it, not only will you leak the inside story, but you will also lose face.

"One hundred thousand ordnance, we bought it, shipped it and set a price!"

When he arrived, Shan Yan talked about Yu Xianguo's situation, and seeing the change in Mo Chi's expression, Xu Zhiqiong knew his difficulties.

"Daxuan can also send [-] troops to help your country suppress the rebellion."

"Really!" Mo Chi's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "It's just that this battle has nothing to do with Daxuan. Since it's fighting for your country, I'm afraid your country will have to pay for the soldiers' salaries and rewards."

"The matter of silver is easy to talk about!" Mo Chi was about to agree, but he was a little suspicious, "Yun Hou, let's make things clear, Daxuan has never been short of money, and this time to help, really he only needs money?"

He worried that after the war, Daxuan might claim the land.

Xu Zhiqiong saw Mo Chi's concerns: "Daxuan came here with sincerity, and is willing to re-sign the Xuanyu alliance with your country. Yu will not betray Xuan, and Xuan will not hurt Yu. Daxuan only helps Dayu put down the rebellion. After the war, not even an inch of land will be occupied, and I hope Uncle Da Zong will convey this sincerity to Emperor Dayu."

Mo Chi got up and clasped his fists and said, "Marquis Yun speaks quickly, Mo Chi admires him very much, and troubles Marquis Yun to convey to Emperor Changle that Da Yu wishes to form an alliance with Da Xuan Yongxiu."

It's not enough to talk about Jill, but to have some substance.

Xu Zhiqiong took a sip of tea and said, "Uncle Dazong, there are many rules in my Daxuan court, and you must know that if Daxuan wants to send troops, he has to convince the cabinet in advance, especially in terms of capital, so it can be justified. "

Mo Chi nodded and said, "I'm also a straightforward person. I would like to pay a whole number for the military salary and ordnance, plus the compensation for your country's soldiers."

an integer?
One million silver?

Then let me talk to you about wool?

Xu Zhiqiong's face sank, he put down his teacup and wanted to leave.

Mo Chi said: "Marquis Yun, please tell Emperor Changle that if Da Yu declares his wish to help Da Yu put down the chaos of the Gu clan, I, Da Yu, will give [-] million silver!"

Xu Zhiqiong raised his sinking face again, and with a smile on his face, he held up his teacup and said, "We don't particularly care about the amount of money, it's just that Uncle Da Zong, ten million silver, is related to the foundation of a country. It’s not just talking casually, you’d better discuss it with Emperor Dayu first, and then make a decision.”

"There is no need to discuss this matter. Once a gentleman says something, he will whip the horse!" Mo Chi got up and said to Xu Zhiqiong, "To show my sincerity, within three days, I can first send five million taels of reward!"
