() just arrived at the gate of the palace, there were hundreds of Jinyi guards waiting for him. When they saw Li Jianguo, hundreds of Jinyi guards knelt down and said in unison: "Greetings, Master Tongzhi." Li Jianguo frowned and asked: "What's the matter with you?"

The Jinyiwei looked at each other, and a hundred households came out and said, "My lord, this is the day when the Jinyiwei pays the money in Beijing. If you don't have Tongzhi adults to go to the inner mansion to pick up the money, how can you pay the money?"

Li Jianguo shook his head, he knew, why would he look for him if he had nothing to do?Although I didn't take it seriously as a colleague, I had to do what I was supposed to do for a day in his position.Immediately said: "Have you written the note for withdrawing money?"

The hundred households took a bill from a person next to him, handed it to Li Jianguo, and said, "My lord, this is the bill of lading for this month. As usual, the money is paid from the inner government. You have to ask your lord to go."

Li Jianguo was very surprised. He took a look at the bill of lading and was startled. He actually needed 400 taels of salary in Beijing Jinyiwei for a month.It's not that he was intimidated by this little money, but that the inner government has so much money for him?He knew that the Ming Dynasty was extremely poor.

Immediately shaking the list, he asked, "Can the inner government afford the 8 taels of silver?"

The hundred households looked at the other guards in Jinyi, and said with a wry smile: "When Commander Luo was here, he could get 3 taels a month from the inner government, which was only enough for the brothers to make ends meet. If it wasn't for some other income, Someone in our Jinyiwei has starved to death."

Li Jianguo squinted his eyes, he didn't believe what this Baihu said, but this matter was a good opportunity, and he wanted to use it.Immediately said: "You send someone back first, within half an hour to count how much money you have owed over the years, and hand over the bill of lading to the officer, and the officer will make it up for you in one go. Also, inform the police in Beijing All the guards in Jinyi, all gathered in the west city, don’t forget to bring the payment books and ten silver carts, others will go with me, I will take you to carry the money today.”

All the royal guards couldn't believe their ears, could it be that they were dreaming now?But it was true, some Jin Yiwei twisted his thigh fiercely, and screamed immediately, this is not a dream, but he still can't believe that Li Jianguo can really get back the money he owed over the years.

Li Jianguo saw them standing still, and immediately became furious, and shouted: "Didn't you hear what I said? Do you want me to chop off your heads? Why don't you do something?"

Hundreds of guards in Jinyi suddenly stood up, and said in unison: "Respect Your Excellency's order." The voice was full of anger, with money, they can be 100% obedient, otherwise, why should they establish prestige and authority?

At that moment, the hundreds of households hurried to the accountant to count the debts accumulated over the years.And the hundreds of Jinyiwei sent out a hundred to notify all the Jinyiwei in Beijing to gather.

The other Jin Yiwei followed Li Jianguo to the west city.They were very strange, the inner mansion was on the east side of the imperial palace, so what kind of money are they looking for when they come to the west city?

When the group left Xiyang Gate, Li Jianguo took out the list of the White Lotus Sect and asked, "Who is familiar with the names and surnames of those officials and family members in Xicheng, come and have a look."

When the Jinyi guards heard this, they immediately shouted: "Old Du, come out quickly, Lao Du is the most familiar." A Jinyi Xiaoqi who was about [-] years old rubbed his hands and walked out, and said with a smile: "My lord, Du Qing from the Qianhu Office of the West City , Greetings to my lord."

A Jin Yiwei whispered in the crowd: "What is Du Qing, it's Ximen Qing." Suddenly, many Jin Yiwei snickered. He is the most familiar, his nickname is Du Ximen.

Li Jianguo handed the list to Du Qing, and said, "Look at it, it doesn't matter whether the officials are big or small here, you only pick the rich ones and tell me, they all belong to that family."

Then Du Qing took the white cloth, and after a cursory look, he was startled. No one else knew, but he knew him very well. These names were all the names of the family members of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, including the family members of the cabinet elders. Both first and last names.Immediately his hands trembled.

Li Kaiguo smiled faintly and asked, "Look, are there any names of Zhou Shipu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Xue Guoguan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials?"

This time, it wasn't just Du Qing who was trembling, even the guards in Jinyi looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them knew what kind of medicine Li Jianguo was selling in his gourd.But some people feel that something is wrong, don't let us go to Mr. Zhou and Mr. Xue's house to ask for money.

Du Qing was covered in cold sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it off, and he didn't dare not to answer Li Jianguo's words. He was just a small flag, and if he didn't answer his questions with Mr. Zhi, he would go to the Zhenfu Division.At the moment, I can only be brave enough to point to the three names on the list and say: "These three people belong to Mr. Zhou's family, one is his second-granddaughter-in-law, and the other is the dowry maid. housekeeper."

Pointing to the other five names, he said: "These four are all newly bought maids by Mrs. Xue last year, and the last one named Wang is Mrs. Xue's new concubine." dare not move.

Li Kaiguo looked carefully, and said with a smile, "Do you think Zhou Shipu and Xue Guoguan's family are rich?" Then Du Qing knelt down on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed repeatedly: "My lord, these are two Shangshu lords, they... ..."

Li Jianguo's face turned cold, and he shouted: "Shit, I have ordered to investigate today's treason case, what is the official book, you just need to tell me whether their family has money?"

Du Qing put his head on the ground and said: "My lord, everyone in the capital knows that Mr. Zhou's family uses silver as a bed; Mr. Xue's family's toilet is even inlaid with emeralds."

Li Jianguo laughed, and said: "It's good to have money. Let's take a look. This is the imperial decree just given to me by the emperor. I will go to the residence of the two adults. I promise that I will give it to you today." Make up all the owed money, maybe even make a small fortune."

As he spoke, he threw the imperial decree to the Jinyi guards to pass it on.Immediately, Jin Yiwei read the imperial decree, and after listening to it, the Jin Yiwei's spirits immediately rose, coupled with the temptation of money, they all shouted loudly: "My lord, you can do whatever you want, we will follow your lord. "

Li Jianguo shouted: "Okay, I don't want you to do anything, I send a team to the Fusi, and bring a woman named Zhou Wang to the gate of the Zhou mansion. You just need to stand where you are and help me. Others, I will deal with it myself, and I will definitely satisfy you. Du Qing, you lead the way, and whoever the Zhou Xue family is closest to, we will go to the house first."

Although Du Qing was still afraid at this time, he was even more afraid of the prison of Zhen Fusi, so he immediately said: "Mr. Zhou's house is the closest, just turn two streets away." He immediately led the way.Another five people went to Zhen Fusi to fetch his wife Zhou Wang.
