Chapter 687 Decisive Battle at the Top of the Imperial City
"30 bolts of silk, 20 taels of silver? Can you handle so many things?"

Wang Qing said disdainfully, 20 taels of silver is 1 catties, and it is impossible to move it out of the treasury of the Ministry of Households by manpower, not to mention there are 30 bolts of silk, even if the warehouse is open, it will take a day to move it.

"That's right, if you want to rob, you have to wait until the things leave the city before doing it!"

Tian Hu was very interested in the old coins. If he had such a windfall, he would not have to worry about next year's food, grass and military expenses.

"You are quite brave, you dare to loot the old coins? You know that every year the old coins are sent to the border by the army, and all the passing by are military towns."

Wang Qing glanced at Tian Hu and said with a sneer, this is no longer courageous, this is no brains, and fighting the army head-on is courting death.

"Then what do you say?"

Tian Hu was furious, and slapped the table in front of him. He had already taken a fancy to this shipment, and the army of transporting New Year's coins must go to the East Road, which is his territory.

"You two, don't get angry. In my opinion, whoever can take out Kuyin will win?"

Fang La persuaded with a smile.

"Ku Yin?"

Tian Hu and Wang Qing were puzzled for a while.

"That's right, I've already found out that the Liao Kingdom has very high requirements on the fineness of silver for the year coins, so every year the year coins are newly minted, and they are stamped with the official seal and year name!"

Fang La explained.

"Isn't it too petty to take only one ingot of silver? If you want to take it, take a box!"

Tian Hu opened his mouth and said, how can he only take one ingot of silver when he arrives at the warehouse?This thief is not empty, he is eager to move all of them.

"If you can, move a box out."

Wang Qing looked at Tian Hu and said with a smile, that's the warehouse of the household department, it's heavily guarded, it's hard to get in, and you want to move a box of silver out?
"What does Chief Sun think?"

Seeing that Wang Qing and Tian Hu only quarreled, Fang La looked at Sun Lei who had been smiling and not saying a word.

"not so good!"

Sun Lei shrugged and smiled.

Fang La's face froze, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he wanted to swear, but Sun Lei rejected his good idea just like that.

"It's too easy to get the silver from the warehouse of the household department. Besides, it's hard to distinguish the real and fake silver. It's not difficult to find a silversmith to open a furnace to melt one! The imperial court has no secrets to speak of, and the styles of old coins have long been known!"

Sun Lei said, because a large number of new silver ingots are minted every year, and the government does not have enough craftsmen, so they will recruit a large number of craftsmen from Tokyo. The styles of those silver ingots have long been no secret, and they can be made privately.

As soon as these words came out, both Tian Hu and Wang Qing looked at Fang La suspiciously. Just as Sun Lei said, this thing is too easy to cheat. Maybe Fang La has already prepared Ku Yin, and he has already won.

"I, Fang La, act openly and aboveboard, without any selfishness, and strive for fairness and justice!"

Fang La immediately opened his mouth to speak, but Tian Hu and Wang Qing didn't listen at all, the expression on his face had already determined that Fang La was cheating.

"What Fang Hierarch thinks, only Fang Hierarch knows, we don't know!"

Wang Qing looked at Fang La with contempt. The four of them are not good people. It is common for the four big rebels to kill and set fires. What kind of thing is lying to someone?He just relied on his handsome appearance and smooth-talking mouth to dominate Huaixi!

"Since that's the case, how do you compare!"

Fang La said with cold eyes.

The three of them looked at Sun Lei at the same time. In their eyes, Sun Lei was the most insidious, full of bad ideas, and full of ghost ideas. Now that Fang La's "trick" was exposed, he must have a plan.

"Fight to the top of the imperial city!"

Sun Lei smiled and pointed to the imperial city in the distance.

"Fight to the top of the imperial city!"

Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing's expressions suddenly changed, and no one dared to answer for a while.

"Are you crazy? You can also break into the imperial city?"

Wang Qing looked at Sun Lei and said.

"You don't even dare to enter the imperial city, how can you say that you can dominate one side? Everyone in the world says that now that the four emperors are rising and want to separate one side, if you don't have the courage, go home and play in the mud."

Sun Lei looked at the three of them and said.

"What do you mean!"

Tian Hu was furious, slapped the table and roared.

"If you break into the imperial city, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Fang La looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Consequences? The big deal is being wanted! Everyone here is not a wanted criminal? Adding one is terrible?"

Sun Lei looked at the three people in front of him and smiled.

The faces of the three were uncertain. They were all traitors, and they had already been charged with the crime. Naturally, they were not afraid of adding another one, but such a bold intrusion into the imperial city might intensify the conflict with the court and lead to a direct war.

"If you are afraid, forget it!"

Seeing that no one spoke to Sun Lei, he said indifferently.

"What are you going to do in the imperial city? Assassinate the emperor?"

Fang La looked at Sun Lei and asked, the palace is heavily guarded, and it is dangerous to go in and do anything.

"I heard that on New Year's Day, the emperor will entertain his ministers in the Daqing Hall, and a dragon flag will be raised above the Daqing Hall!"

Sun Lei opened the mouth and said, according to the etiquette and law of the Song Dynasty, the ceremony is held in the Daqing Hall, the court is heard in the Zichen Hall, and the government is heard in the Chuigong Hall.

"Daqing Hall!"

Fang La and Tian Hu were at a loss for a while, they knew nothing about the layout of the imperial city.

"And then? What do you want to do? Break in?"

Wang Qing is a native of Kaifeng Mansion and once served in the platoon army. He still knows about the imperial city. Daqing Palace is the largest palace in the imperial city. Office locations such as the Province, Menxia Province, Academy, Secret Pavilion, and the Third Hall are looser in control than the Harem because ministers often come in and out.

"What are you doing breaking in? What I want is that dragon flag. There is only one thing in the world. Whoever holds it will win!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Dragon Flag!"

The faces of the three of them changed again. Isn't this the same as pulling the dragon's beard and touching the tiger's butt?

"How is it? It's exciting enough!"

Sun Lei looked at several people and said.

"I have no opinion!"

Wang Qing was the first to speak. He had been on the street before. In this kind of situation, it doesn't matter whether you lose or win. It doesn't matter if you win or not.

Seeing that Wang Qing agreed, although Fang La and Tian Hu were extremely unwilling, they could only agree because of face.

"Then it's settled. The dragon flag is raised on New Year's Day, and until the Lantern Festival is lowered, we will limit it to fifteen days. Whoever takes down the dragon flag first will win the hero meeting."

Seeing that the three of them agreed, Sun Lei smiled and said.

"That's it, I'll go first!"

Wang Qing got up and said, since the game is so big, it is natural to prepare well.

"I'm leaving too!"

Tian Hu also got up and said, he doesn't want to stay here for a long time, they are all ulterior motives, if they stay for a long time, they are afraid that something will happen, he doesn't worry about these people in front of him.

With a wave of Fang La's hand, the boat docked. Wang Qing and Tian Hu led the people ashore, found their own directions, and disappeared into the crowd.

"Chief Sun?"

Fang La looked at the unmoving Sun Lei and asked suspiciously, "Wang Qing and Tian Hu have both left, so why is Sun Lei sitting still and not moving at all?"

"Master Fang, you and I are separated by thousands of miles from the south to the north. It's rare to see each other. Why don't we go to the bar for a glass of water!"

Sun Lei looked at Fang La and smiled.
