Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 63
Yang Hanyu rolled her eyeballs and said again;
"Thank you, Eunuch Wang. I just want to save more cash. I'll exchange some silver notes for you. This is 40 taels of silver notes. You can count them."

"Okay, yes."

Manager Wang also fully agreed, as long as it is money, it doesn't matter whether he has silver or bank notes, and it is better to go if there is less cash. If there is another trip along the way, I will definitely run away.

Yang Hanyu happily handed the silver bill to the prince, and then carefully read the sales contract, loan and repayment documents, and the corresponding property title deed, and signed his name and affixed the seal of the Houfu after checking that it was correct.

Eunuch Wang took the banknotes and counted them. Just in time, he was taking the sales contract and repayment documents signed by Yang Hanyu to have a look. Yes, he also added the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he nodded and said;
"Okay ma'am, I'll arrange for someone to unload the truck. You can show them where they put it. There are also two copies of the contract and the repayment document. You should keep these two copies. The loan documents are kept in addition to the ones kept by the household department. I have already given you the share, and after the 32 boxes of silver are moved, we will settle the money and goods, so I won't bother you anymore, I have to go back quickly because I have too many things to do today."

"Ah. Alright, alright, my lord, I'll go right away."

Yang Hanyu took the servant girls and went out to instruct the people of the Imperial City Department to move the silver to the warehouse in his yard, and ordered Huo'er to give the escort 3 taels of hard money to each of the escorts, and of course he also gave it to Guanshi Wang and Ma. One person in a thousand households received 1000 taels of silver bills, and the two smiled face to face.

After the matter was settled, Wang Gonggong and Ma Qianhu led the convoy out of the Hou's Mansion and went to the Yamen of the House of Internal Affairs. After Yang Hanyu saw that everyone had left, he hurriedly brought Huo'er and Ming'er to the warehouse. Check the box, and after opening it all, the white official silver is white and dazzling. If you look carefully, you can see that it is the same size and high quality. It really is official silver.

After the inspection, he closed the box with satisfaction, took the second daughter out of the warehouse, locked it with three locks, and returned to the main house with peace of mind. He was thinking about when he would go to see what he bought, no way. , I have to wait a few days, no one is using it.

And told the second daughter to take good care of the money, it belongs to the lord, and it will be completely handed over to Lord Hou at that time, I really think I am stupid!

I kept the money for my husband, Zhang Jinyu. As for those properties that must be bought, it would be foolish not to take advantage of them. Besides, if the Hou’s mansion doesn’t have any income, it will be difficult in the capital. understand.

Beijing,

Xiangyang Hou Mansion.

The two brothers prepared the silver taels early on, packed five carriages, 5 boxes of 20 taels of silver each, and carried 1 million taels of silver notes on them. They waited for letters from the follower, and went directly to the household department to pay back the silver. .

But after waiting and waiting, no one came back to report, the third master Bai Shaofeng said anxiously;

"Brother, send someone to see what's going on. Why hasn't there been any movement after such a long time?"

"Calm down, well, you can send someone to take a look."

The third child sent someone to see what was happening to the people who were being followed by the Hou Mansion, and after a while, the people they sent came back, and the servants ran in and replied;

"Master Hou, third master, I went to Luoyunhou Mansion to ask the people who were following me. Is it true that no one from the House of Internal Affairs came?"

"You should look carefully."

"Back to the third master, our people didn't leave there, but kept watching there."

"Wait a minute, what about this big brother?"

"Go again, you, work hard again, look in the opposite direction from Luoyunhou Mansion to Da Nei Road, and come back when you see the convoy."

"Yes, Lord Hou, I'll go right away, little one."

After finishing speaking, the concierge quickly went out again, and walked westward when he arrived at the Hou's Mansion, but he didn't run far when he saw a large number of people fleeing from the front street as if they were fleeing. They seemed to be avoiding something, and they were still shouting. "Run, kill someone."

The concierge was also shocked. Killing people in the capital in broad daylight was so daring. In order to see what happened, he sneaked over to take a look. It didn't matter. He was shocked. Is it the news about the convoy that Lord Hou was waiting for? Why are people all over the place dead? It seems that the people in the government are dying.

The concierge saw him, and hurried back to the mansion from the small path, and shouted as soon as he arrived at the Hou's mansion;

"Close the door quickly, there are rebels outside."

The guards of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion were frightened and closed the gate tightly, and called a lot of servants and men to stand guard there with hoes and long sticks. The concierge himself ran to the study very quickly, and shouted as soon as he entered the door;
"Master Hou, something big happened, something big happened."

This loud roar startled the two brothers, and the third brother opened his mouth and said;
"You melon, what are you yelling at, what big things can happen?"

"Master Hou, Lord Third, the convoy you mentioned is not far from the mansion of Marquis Luoyun Zhang Jinyu, just six or seven streets away."

The concierge took a deep breath when he said this.

"Brother, look, isn't it here?"

"No. Third Master, haven't you finished yet?"

"You boy!"

"Third brother, don't talk, and don't rush to speak slowly."

"It's Lord Hou. The young one saw the convoy, but it was being besieged. More than half of the people in the imperial court died. There were corpses and blood all over the ground. Everyone in the street ran away. After seeing it, the young one ran back from the small road. I don't know what's going on now."

"Ah, it's true, you can see clearly, this is not a joke."

"Back to the third master, how dare you little one, if you don't believe me, send someone to look at it now."

The concierge replied aggrievedly.

"Okay, third child, it shouldn't be too bad. We've waited so long, either we didn't come, or something delayed us. It looks like something happened, but who did it?"

"Brother, what should we do then?"

Xiangyang Hou Baiguangju smiled mysteriously.

The third son, Bai Shaofeng, saw that his elder brother didn't answer, but just smiled, and became even more anxious.

"My elder brother, you are still smiling at this hour, are you still going?"

"You, said to hold your breath, the third child will give him a reward, go down and rest, you have done a good job."

Bai Guangju didn't answer, but asked the third child to give a reward. Only then did the third child realize that there were outsiders, so he took out ten taels of silver ingots from his pocket and threw them over.
"Thank you, good job."

The concierge accepted Yinzi with a happy smile and thanked him,

"Thank you Lord Hou and the third master for the reward, the younger one will go down."

The third child came over and asked in a low voice after seeing the porter walk out of the study;
"Brother, you're gone, but you still want to pay back the money?"

"It's natural."

"No way, it's like this on this street, maybe all the embargoes transported are dead."

The third child widened his eyes and looked at his elder brother. Could it be that he was frightened and stupid, but the eldest brother did not look up, and was still writing a letter there, his expression unchanged;
"That's why we have to go."

"Brother, please clarify."

"I ask you, if the money has not been robbed, what do you think the Ministry of Internal Affairs will do next?"

Hou Baiguangju of Xiangyang asked his younger brother back, the third child was silent for a while, what should he do if this question is asked,

"Well, brother, I feel that I have to go back or continue to go to the Marquis Mansion, but I think that if such a big incident happened in the capital, I should go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, investigate the matter thoroughly, and send money again."

Bai Guangju shook his head when he heard this;
"Contrary to you, I will continue to send money."

"No way. What if the money is robbed after death? Is it possible to go back and bring the money again? The Ministry of Households will definitely not agree."

"Well, that's a good point. The Ministry of Household Affairs will never pay the money. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will pay the money, or we will pay it. Is it more necessary to go?"

The third child was stunned for a while, what do you mean, why didn't you understand,
"Brother, what do you mean?"

"Literally, they are all waiting for money from our Xiangyang Hou Mansion, or they are waiting for my reaction."

Only then did the youngest realize that he was there, and the nephew just happened to tell him something, so it was arranged, which is too bad.

"Understood, brother, it was for you to hear."

"Well, there is still help, I have grown up."

After Bai Guangju finished speaking, he just finished writing a picture, and nodded in satisfaction. This picture of "combining ability and political integrity" is still so majestic and majestic.
"Third brother, I will give you this picture. If you have virtue, you must also have talent. If you have virtue, you will have talent, and then you will be richer."

"Understood, brother, I will be careful in the future, then when will we set off and what will happen to the safety of the convoy."

"This is the capital city, and the reinforcements will arrive in a quarter of an hour. As long as the robbers are not stupid, they will run early, and this period of time is the safest. If they rob the official bank, you dare to spend it, the people behind it are not stupid. "

"Yes, the Imperial City Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has suffered such a big loss, and now they have to overthrow the capital. Brother, what if this person is a fool?"

Bai Guangju was also taken aback. What the third child said was not unreasonable. This is a robbery in the capital of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is either a fool or a capable person, and there are careful arrangements. It seems that a fool can't do it so carefully. arrangement.
