my wonderful zoo

Chapter 62
"It's a pity that that boatload of treasure only escaped from the tiger's mouth and ended up in the belly of the wolf." Chen Xun sighed to himself.

"What kind of treasure?" A voice asked softly from the side.

Chen Xun turned around and saw that it was Chen Qin.

"When did you come in? Didn't I ask you to study hard? Why did you come here right after class?"

During this period of shameless work, Chen Qin has basically figured out Chen Xun's character. He knows that this little official can't say how he treats men, but he still has a high tolerance for women. At least, he treats himself Very tolerant.

"I've been here for a while. You've been concentrating on reading the official documents and haven't noticed me."

"Have you finished your homework?" Chen Xun asked pretending to be stern. This girl was becoming more and more unrestrained in front of him, but it was just in line with her age.

It is probably because of the support of Chen's father and Chen's mother that he dared to do this.

"I finished it a long time ago. I finished it in the classroom before leaving after class." Chen Qin stuck out her tongue.

"It seems that the teacher left too little homework. I want them to assign more." Chen Xun threatened.

"No! It's already a lot. I do it without taking a break after class." Chen Qin quickly made amends, fearing that it would cause trouble for her classmates.

Because Chen Qin had no foundation before, she now goes to school with children four or five years younger than her. Those children do not have her self-discipline, so it naturally seems that she learns easily.

"If you think it's easy, just study on your own. You can apply for the entrance exam in advance and skip a grade. Don't follow a bunch of brats in class all day long and enjoy it," Chen Xun criticized.

"It is a virtue for a woman to have no talent. What should I do if I learn so much?" Chen Qin muttered.

"Bullshit, who told you that? Don't let me hear such words again!" This sentence made Chen Xun really angry.

Seeing that Chen Xun was really angry, Chen Qin didn't dare to say anything and quickly admitted her mistake.

"The concubine knows."

The concubine here does not mean that Chen Qin is Chen Xun's concubine, but what women in this era call themselves. Those who are slightly older will call themselves "concubine".

The humble self-proclaimed words that came out of her mouth showed that she was really frightened.

"If you really want to follow me in the future, you have to study hard. I will not accept that my wife is a fool who doesn't understand anything." Chen Xun realized that she was still young, so he changed his way of motivating.

"I will definitely study hard, but you have to let me continue to help you clean up the room." Chen Qin pouted, holding back the tears in her eyes.

"Okay!" Chen Xun understood that this was her last act of stubbornness, which was in line with her boldness in identifying herself that day.

"Thank you, Sir." Chen Qin smiled through tears, saluted, and ran out.

Cai Jing's death reminded Chen Xun of one thing. Cai Jing was one of the six thieves, and the six thieves basically all died within a year, and they all died at the hands of Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, who is now the great emperor. Song Guan family.

Tong Guan, one of the six thieves, was also demoted to the south and was sentenced to death when he was about to reach his destination.He couldn't remember where exactly, but the news was easy to investigate. As long as he found the destination where he was demoted and followed it all the way, he would have a chance to obtain the treasure that Tong Guan was carrying.

Cai Jing can bring a boatload of treasure, and Tong Guan should not be far behind.

You must know that Tong Guan's victorious army is all young soldiers he recruited in the west, they are all his guards, and they are all raised by him with his own money.

How rich an official must be to be able to afford tens of thousands of private soldiers.

"Come here, find Lu Hui." Chen Xun ordered the guards outside the door. "yes!"

Chenjiazhuang was very small, so Lu Hui rushed over quickly.

"I have something here..." Chen Xun first introduced the whole matter to Lu Hui: "I conclude that Tong Guan will definitely die. If he dies, the treasures he carries with him will definitely be lost to other people like Cai Jing. Officials carve it up.”

"What are your plans?" Lu Hui asked.

"I was wondering if we could rob him first."

"This..." Lu Hui thought this idea was too crazy: "He is the former prime minister. If he is not dead, this feud will be serious."

"What are you afraid of? We are now on the opposite side of Song Ting. Are we afraid of setting up another former prime minister who is about to be buried?" Chen Xun patted the table: "Besides, as long as we don't reveal our identity, who knows who robbed us?" ?”

"That's right."

"Now the expenses in Chenjiazhuang are too high. We are spending money everywhere to build village walls and move workshops, but the way to make money is narrow. This treasure is very important to our Chenjiazhuang." During this period, Chen Xun watched it every day Looking at those accounts, Chen Xun felt dizzy. If he hadn't known that he was doing something serious, Chen Xun would have suspected that he was a prodigal.

The money earned in the past ten years or so can only last for one year at most at the current rate of expenditure.

"What are you going to do?"

"It's not what I plan to do. I plan to leave this matter to you, so it should be what you plan to do." Chen Xun said.

"Me?" Lu Hui couldn't believe it. This was too challenging.

"Besides you, who else do you think is suitable?" Chen Xun asked,

Lu Hui went through all the Chen family villages in his mind, and felt that they were a little unreliable.Sun Zheng is quite suitable, but he needs to step up training Ma Jun, and he will definitely not be able to walk away.

"I can't do this." Lu Hui said helplessly.

"The principle of robbery on the road is basically the same as that of robbery at sea. I asked Korey to send you some capable men, and you can choose some smart ones from the infantry of the guards. When encountering problems, you should consult your subordinates for their opinions and rob a demoted official. It's not difficult." Chen Xun began to come up with ideas: "We still don't know how Tong Guan's treasure was transported. If you bring the elites of the land and sea teams with you and be prepared, you will be sure of success."

"How many people should I take?" Lu Hui accepted the task.

"People from both cities, the more the merrier." Chen Xun replied, there are 200 people in both cities.

"However, if I take away people from both cities, Chenjiazhuang's defense force will be even less. How will we face the next encirclement and suppression by the officers and soldiers?"

"The next encirclement and suppression campaign by officers and soldiers will not be so easy to organize. Last time, 4000 people were defeated. This time it must be more than [-]. Guangzhou alone will definitely not be able to produce so many people." Chen Xun explained: "We must If you want the Guangnan East Road pacification envoy to send troops, the Song Tingguan family must nod. With these orders coming one after another, plus the time for discussion and organization, you should be back."

"Okay, then I'll go and come back quickly. But you have to give me the follow-up information in time, otherwise my eyes will be darkened and I won't know where to rob Tong Guan."

"Don't worry, you go on your way first, and the information will be back within three days at most."

It is not in vain that Chen Xun has invested money in the intelligence agency for so many years, and with the snow pigeon as a communication tool, Chenjiazhuang's intelligence transmission speed is definitely beyond the times.

"Okay, I'll prepare it tonight and leave tomorrow."

"Okay, bring enough weapons, go back quickly, and pay attention to safety." Chen Xun agreed.
