mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 226
Zhao Chuanxin was not sure that Aixinjueluo Yikuang would obediently send the money.

He has controlled the imperial court for many years, selling officials and nobles, recruiting power and accepting bribes, and weaving party members. He is also a figure who can cover the sky with only one hand.

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen is not the only son. If the old guy doesn't regard the eldest son as a pawn that can be discarded, then Zhao Chuanxin is doing useless work.

Zhao Chuanxin's call for 100 million pounds is also considered.

It is said that Aixinjueluo Yikuang likes to deposit money in foreign banks, especially the British HSBC Bank.

But Zhao Chuanxin also likes to go to HSBC to withdraw money.

I had withdrawn money once before, and it seemed that Yikuang's money was in it. He had arguing with the British to no avail, probably because he suffered a dumb loss, and I don't know how much he lost.

Banks in later generations are also fucked up. If there is an elderly person at home, the bank clerk's nose is either nose or eye, so he just stuck his neck.

When Grandma Zhao Chuanxin passed away, he went to withdraw money, and the bank asked for a death certificate.

I went with the death certificate, and asked for immediate family members.

Is the blood of the emotional grandson impure?
Zhao Chuanxin's father went, and he was stuck asking for another document... After repeated many times, he finally took out more than 3000 yuan, which was a lot of gas money.

Aixinjueluo Yikuang's small coffers have roughly shrunk.

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't ask for all the rest of the money.

Let him go bankrupt, the old man probably wants to smash the pot.

So it was a compromise, and it was just right to take 100 million pounds.

For a person like this who loves money like his life, taking his money is more uncomfortable than killing him.

Zhao Chuanxin tentatively asked: "Ah Zhen, how much do you have left of your father's 700 million pounds?"

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen firmly denied: "My father doesn't have that much money, only a mere salary of tens of thousands of taels. I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"Look at what you said, your dad sells an official and doesn't charge more than this amount of money. Which one of us is with the other, what's the point of you hiding it from me?"

"..."

Am I familiar with you?
He was suppressed by force, and someone else, Aixinjueluo Zaizhenzao, slapped him with a big mouth.

To say that he is a dandy is true, and he has a temper, but he has a sense of propriety in dealing with people, especially knowing how to advance and retreat.

Now people are fighting for the knife and others are fish and meat, trying to adjust and adjust their mentality, and finally accept the reality.

For the first time, he began to talk about the truth: "Captain Zhao, first of all, my father doesn't have that much money. Secondly, I understand how you behave. You are reasonable..."

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Stop, stop, you know what. As we all know, although I like to convince people with virtue, I never make sense."

"..." These words are not contradictory at all. Aixinjueluo Zaizhen smiled bitterly: "Captain Zhao, you have misunderstood me. I know you are patriotic. And I have been Minister of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce for the past few years. Although he didn't have much credit, he did a few practical things. He did a lot of business and education."

"Oh?" Zhao Chuanxin was surprised: "What have you done?"

"I have visited and studied in France, Belgium, and the United States, and inspected their fifth Encouragement Expo in Japan. After returning to China, I asked the imperial court to establish a Ministry of Commerce. I actively participated in the New Deal. I also participated in the reform of the official system last year. My avatar , were printed by Shanghai Xincheng Bank on the banknotes they issued. Take this year as an example, I single-handedly organized the Zhili Joint Games of Beiyang University, including dozens of events.

Among them, the 'Restore the Right of Way' walking competition is to show our patriotic competition with foreigners for the right to own the railway.

If you hadn't imprisoned me, I would have gone to Beiyang University to watch the game tomorrow. "

When Zhao Chuanxin heard about the "restoration of the right of way" competition, he couldn't help but laugh.

The name is full of political and educational overtones.

But it makes this sport look a little irregular.

He said: "Unexpectedly, you and I are also considered to be a person of noble character. We all have noble and interesting souls. But, Ah Zhen, you have to understand that this will not change your father's need to exchange money for you The facts. At most, I will upgrade you from a low-rank slave to a middle-rank."

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen has a sweet throat...

I have never seen such oil and salt not entering.

How should I put it, since I am also the future prince, I have already negotiated in a humble manner, and finally changed from a low-rank slave to a middle-rank slave?

He stopped talking.

There's nothing to talk about with this guy.

He stopped talking, but Zhao Chuanxin became interested instead: "Ah Zhen, there are already two XHQ bannermen who have kneeled down for me. Today, you come to make up the number and kneel down for me too."

"..."

"Don't be shy, kneeling, you'll get used to kneeling."

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen was very skeptical that this statement meant something, but no evidence could be found.

Finally, he choked out a sentence: "I am Xiang-Lanqi!"

"..." Zhao Chuanxin was full of disappointment: "That's it, then forget it, you with the blue flag are not worthy to kneel to me. Turn around and let Cixi come. By the way, what color is Cixi's flag?"

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen was a little used to Zhao Chuanxin's words.

He said before that if he doesn't give money, he will send himself down early to wait for Cixi.

He said helplessly: "Lafayette was originally a blue flag, but was later 'carried into' a yellow flag."

"It doesn't matter whether it's congenital or acquired, it's okay to be Huang. Because Zhao has nothing to do with gambling and drugs!"

"..."

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen regretted it.

The guy's mouth in front of him seems to be born like this, so what's the difference with him?

Thinking of this, he wanted to slap himself.

If there was no incident on the train, there would be no imprisonment at this time.

Seeing that he was depressed, Zhao Chuanxin patted him on the shoulder and said in a consoling tone: "Your Majesty, don't be sad. Life is always full of helplessness. If you make friends with 100 million pounds, you two will not lose money. According to my With the temper you used to have, you can’t survive tonight. Now that you’re older, you’re starting to know how to run around for a living. The society is getting more and more impetuous, and there are not many people like me who work hard just to earn a living with 100 million pounds gone."

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin talking seriously, Aixinjueluo Zaizhen scolded shamelessly, 100 million pounds is still casual, you know how many officials it will cost... Ah bah, what a shrewd financial mind is needed Earn it back?

He earnestly said that he thought he could fight for it again: "I heard that Captain Zhao likes teaching and educating people?"

Zhao Chuanxin let out a sigh: "Zhao really cares about the physical and mental health of the next generation of female college students, and I am worried about it. I really want to invest a sum of money in girls' schools and customize short skirt school uniforms for them in line with international trends. But How do you know this?"

"..." Aixinjueluo Zaizhen opened his mouth wide. He thought he was a romantic figure, but looking at Zhao Chuanxin's face, he found that he was still a little bit of a fool. "This...I mean, Captain Zhao wants to donate to Beiyang University."

"What?" Zhao Chuanxin was stunned: "When did Zhao say that he would donate to Beiyang University? Isn't this nonsense? Why should I pay for a school run by the Qing court?"

Then Aixinjueluo Zaizhen recalled all kinds of things that day, and suddenly laughed: "So it is, so it is! Liang Dunyan, Liang Dunyan, all the tricks are exhausted, and finally all come to nothing!"

On that day, he was invited to listen to a speech by a patriot. Liang Dunyan vowed that the person would donate a sum of money to the school, as long as Aixinjueluo Zaizhen was present, it would be enough to give enough face.

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen went, and then found out that Zhao Chuanxin was Lu Xian, and conflict broke out between the two sides, leading to a series of bad results.

The fight broke out by accident and confusion.

Before the fight, Liang Dunyan listened to Yinghua's words and pissed off.

When I came back, I was dumbfounded, there was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood outside the auditorium.

Not only did they not get the charity money, but they also had to clean the campus and repair the dilapidated auditorium, which was another sum of money.

And Zhao Chuanxin has long been missing.

I lost my wife and lost my army!
The angry old man stomped his feet, it was too late to regret.

Zhao Chuanxin is also a smart person, and narrowed his eyes: "It turns out that old man Liang Dunyan plotted against me, but I thought he was interested in Zhao's noble morals and profound knowledge that are out of vulgar tastes! It's really unreasonable!"

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen glanced at Zhao Chuanxin with disdain.

Noble morals, profound knowledge, you deserve it?

The more Zhao Chuanxin thought about it, the more angry he became.

He gritted his teeth and became angry with embarrassment: "You people, there is no good thing! All of you seem to be innocent, and they are better than monkeys when they stick their fur. No, this thing is endless!"

Just as he was talking, a group of people aggressively boarded the Laolongtou pontoon bridge.

It was very lively today, with Yuan Datou, Aixinjueluo Yikuang, and even Zhao Chuanxin seeing Yang Yide and Zhang Zhankui.

All that should have come.

Among these people, Aixinjueluo Yikuang was the most expensive, and he was the only one who rode in a sedan chair carried by four people.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Aixinjueluo Yikuang jumped out of the sedan chair nimbly, regardless of his age.

"Son..."

Without even thinking about it, Zhao Chuanxin grabbed Aixinjueluo Zaizhen, who had just had a good talk, and pulled him in front of him as a shield to prevent someone from sniping.

Zhao Chuanxin shouted: "King Qing, did you bring the money?"

I don't know which idiot shouted: "Zhao Chuanxin, I advise you not to be ignorant of flattery and let His Royal Highness go!"

"Get out of your numbness!" Zhao Chuanxin said fragrantly: "If anyone shouts, stand up and let me see, I will send you down first to wait for Lafayette!"

There was a middle-aged man next to Yuan Datou, half-hidden behind Aixinjueluo Yikuang, yelling at Zhao Chuanxin: "Damn Zhao Chuanxin, Governor Yuan is here today to see if you dare to be arrogant!"

As soon as the words fell, the gun was already fired!
Because only one shoulder was exposed, he was shot in the shoulder immediately.

Immediately, he cried out in pain.

Everyone was shocked!

Is Zhao Chuanxin so reckless and staunch?
Zhao Chuanxin put away his rifle and shouted towards the shore: "Your name is Nima? Who are you with?"

Yuan Datou, Aixinjueluo Yikuang and others retreated in shock.

On the contrary, there were two people who bravely and fearlessly stood in front of Aixinjueluo Yikuang and Yuan Datou.

The two are: Yang Yide and Zhang Zhankui!
Yang Yide coughed and shouted: "Zhao Chuanxin, although Yang has never dealt with you, but Yang is not afraid of you, if you have the guts, shoot me!"

Zhang Zhankui is not as tactful as Yang Yide, but he was inspired at this time and said loudly: "Yes, if Director Yang dies, I, Zhang Zhankui, will stand in the way. Don't think that everyone will be intimidated by your lustful power!"

Yuan Datou and Aixinjueluo Yikuang were greatly moved.

Seeing that the rest of the subordinates hid, only these two stood in front without even thinking about it.

This is the subconscious loyalty!
This kind of loyalty cannot be faked.

But what Yang Yide thought was: brother Zhao has listened to my suggestion, he is good at marksmanship, so I don't have to worry at all.

What Zhang Zhankui thought was: Of course Mr. Zhao would not shoot me!
Sure enough, the person on the small boat said: "Zhao can't imagine that there are two heroes here who are not afraid of death?"

But he cursed in his heart: You two dogs put on a good show, and you used me as a supporting role, right?
After all, you have to give them a little bit of face, and the loyal and treacherous people also need to stack buffs.

Seeing that madman Zhao Chuanxin, Yuan Datou seemed to be overwhelmed by his two capable generals, so he felt a little relieved.

He went to see the injured person first: "Xiangyan, how are you?"

This person is Duan Zhigui, one of the parties involved!

Of course Duan Zhigui was in pain, the shoulder bone should have been shattered.

Dou Da's sweat kept sliding down his forehead: "Governor, don't worry about me, I won't die yet."

Yuan Datou sighed secretly: Hey, they are all loyal and brave people, these people will be of great use in the future!

Thinking that he still had a group of loyal subordinates, Yuan Datou was not so afraid anymore, he felt a bit of arrogance out of thin air, and stepped forward and said: "Zhao Chuanxin, do you know that you offended the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is furious, and has decided to arrest you and kill you!" Not only that, if you go back to Lugang Town, the queen mother is determined to eradicate you and Lugang town together. The governor hereby assures you that if you let the prince go, I will intercede with the queen mother and her old man, and maybe you will be spared the death penalty !"

"Grass, did I hear you right?" Zhao Chuanxin laughed after Aixinjueluo Zaizhen: "Zhao hasn't pardoned you from the death penalty, but you talk to me about pardoning death?"

Yuan Datou's nose almost twisted in anger: "Zhao Chuanxin, don't toast or eat fine wine!"

"Hehe, let me ask you a question, if you didn't bring the money belt, you can talk about everything if you bring it. If you don't bring it, His Royal Highness will die today! Your clamor is a funeral song for His Royal Highness!"

"you……"

"Hehe, let me open the back for the son first!"

As he said, Zhao Chuanxin used the elf carving knife, clasped his fingers three inches, and pierced Aixinjueluo Zaizhen's back shoulder blade!

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen let out a miserable howl!
Aixinjueluo Yikuang opened his eyes wide: "My son..."

"Stop, stop!"

Yuan Datou saw sweat on his forehead.

"Stop?" Zhao Chuanxin said with an innocent face, "I'm sorry, I can't control my hands, and I can't stop at all."

After finishing speaking, as if beating the back of Aixinjueluo Zaizhen, it rained down.

The only thing is: this back was hammered with an elf carving knife.

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen's voice was not human at all.

Those who heard the sound were terrified, and those who saw it wept, it was extremely miserable!

"Father, father, save me..."

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen originally wanted to grit his teeth and pretend to be a hero.

Unfortunately, he is really not that material.

It was his own flesh and blood, and he was the eldest son. Aixinjueluo Yikuang was so distressed that his eyes turned black, and he shouted with trembling lips: "Zhao Chuanxin, this king promises you, I will give you money! Promise!" Yes, yes, let me go!"

When Zhao Chuanxin heard this, he stopped immediately.

He said with compassion: "It's really a tragedy in the world. Zhao has a soft heart, and he hates this cruel scene the most. Or else, Governor Yuan is a bad person, and he is ruthless. Let the son suffer such a crime!"

What has it got to do with me?
Yuan Datou immediately retorted: "Zhao Chuanxin, don't talk nonsense! It's clearly you..."

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him: "Zhao is sick and can't bear the spirit. If anyone dares to shout and pretend in front of me, then Zhao will fall ill and lose control of his hands! Do you think it's your fault? It's clearly You did such a good thing, I suspect that you did it on purpose, I'm afraid the son has enmity with you? Look, you still dare to talk to me now, alas, what is the use of my hand, and I can't control it anymore... "

"you……"

The dignified governor of Zhili and the leader of the New Deal, Yuan Datou seldom has the opportunity to talk to others.

No chance to know?Who dares to challenge him?

But Zhao Chuanxin dared not treat him as an "outsider" at all.

Zhao Chuanxin turned to Aixinjueluo Yikuang: "King Qing, where is the money?"

Aixinjueluo Yikuang's beard trembled, feeling even more distressed at this moment.

And it's a constant entanglement: distressed +1, distressed +1...

He pointed to the shore outside the old dragon head pontoon: "There."

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Let them move to the floating bridge and throw them into the Haihe River!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Throw it into the river?
Isn't this guy crazy?

Zhao Chuanxin did not explain: "Hurry up, let them throw the money into the river together with the box. If you slow down, the prince will suffer!"

When Aixinjueluo Zaizhen heard this, he was terrified.

He wailed: "Father, listen to him quickly, my son can't stand that kind of torture anymore!"

Aixinjueluo Yikuang finally made a decision: "Come here, move the box!"

Once there are tens of millions of silver dollars and silver taels, the size is not exaggerated, but the weight is very scary.

Here, Aixinjueluo Yikuang was a bit distracted. Although Zhao Chuanxin asked for British pounds, he did not use gold coins or banknotes, but replaced them all with silver taels and silver dollars.

One after another, the boxes were lifted onto the pontoon bridge by people humming, and then thrown into the water.

Looking at the splashing water, Aixinjueluo Yikuang's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself: He won't be able to take it away by himself later, the king will find someone to salvage the silver. It will take some effort but it can still be saved. one time.

Thinking about it this way, his heart ached less so much, and he focused on Aixinjueluo Zaizhen.

After all the boxes were thrown into the water, Aixinjueluo Yikuang said to Zhao Chuanxin: "I have done as you ordered, should I let my son go?"

Zhao Chuanxin stood with his hands behind his back, and said quite proudly: "You don't even ask about it. Mr. Zhao has always been innocent in business. A mid-level slave, if he sells for 100 million pounds, it will be 100 million pounds. However, you Wait there, I'll count the money first!"

Hearing Zhao Chuanxin call Aixinjueluo Zaizhen a middle-rank slave, everyone grinned.

That is King Qing who will inherit the title in the future, you call him a slave?Still divided?
But Zhao Chuanxin jumped into the water with a "plop".

Aixinjueluo Yikuang immediately said to Yuan Datou: "Hurry up, save my son now!"

Yuan Datou: "..."

The boat is still some distance away from the Laolongtou pontoon, how can I save it?

The water is so cold now, is it possible to swim through it?Even if you swim over, the boat has no poles or sculls at all, so how do you row?Does it depend on the waves without paddles?
However, looking at the bottomless Haihe River, he had the urge to take a gun and fire randomly into the water.

But he still held back, turned his head and said to his opponent: "Go, climb up and play the semaphore, it's time for the water police to go.

My lord, don't worry, I have already prepared five steamboats, dozens of marine police, and set up nets on the shore.

This time I personally oversee the battle!

He, Zhao Chuanxin, didn't understand, he thought we were the prey, but in fact he was! "

After finishing speaking, his face was full of pride.

Yuan Datou's careful arrangement made Aixinjueluo Yikuang a little relieved.

At this moment, Zhao Chuanxin's hateful voice came from under the floating bridge under their feet...
