I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 202 Who dares to take my money?

Luoyang.

Within the palace.

"Qu Gong, this is not good... there are many people nearby, it would be bad if someone finds out."

"Hey! You're such a bastard. Yesterday, you talked to your father-in-law and called him affectionate. But after not seeing each other for a day, you pretended to be?"

"Alas... Father Zhong, I didn't want to do that either. Yesterday Mr. Zhao called me to train me again..."

"How dare his surname Zhao An do this! He doesn't know you are mine, right?"

"I don't know, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as scolding me yesterday."

"That's good, I really feel wronged to you..."

"Father Zhong——"

After a touching emotional exchange, the two people talking finally got to the point.

When they arrived at the north gate, someone handed Sun Lun a special iron-seal talisman to the guard guarding the gate, indicating his identity.

In the past, there were many ways to get money, and Qu Mu didn't care about the small amount of hard work. But as the new king gradually came to power, bribery, the once most important way to make money, was about to disappear.

The next day, Sun Luntian, who lived in the eunuch's house, got up before dawn, took the shopping list he had planned long ago, and yawned out of the door.

The eunuch's residence is located in the palace between the palace and the outermost palace wall. There is only one palace gate to go out.

Even though the money from a single item is small, these are inherently costless transactions. You can earn money by selling them. If you gather a small amount, you can make a lot. If you accumulate it day by day, it is definitely not a small amount of money.

Qu Mu whispered in Sun Lun's ear: "Tomorrow you go out to the palace to do shopping, and the things you want to take out are also five hundred-refined swords."

The person who was called Qu Gong was none other than Zhong Chang Shi and Shang Fang Ling Qu Mu, and the person talking to him was Sun Lun of the Xiaohuang Clan who was employed by Zhao Zhong in Dachangqiu.

"How dare you check my car!" Sun Lun couldn't sit still in the carriage, got out of the carriage and started to curse. After a few curses, he saw the guard coming to him. The light of the lantern saw that the guard looked strange, so he changed his tone and said, "Seeing as you are new here, I won't argue with you today. You can ask Pan Sima by yourself in the daytime!"

Sun Lun's eyes widened: "Qu Gong, Zhong Fu, we used to resell some palace utensils. We just need to pay attention to some unique styles and palace symbols, and then pass them off as good ones. But this sword You can’t fake it!”

"Is there no old man around? No one tells him what to do?"

When he did his shopping, he always had free money outside the palace.

Several loaded carriages and the servants driving them were already waiting. Sun Lun casually opened the lid of a wooden barrel on one of the carriages. Seeing something there, he immediately got into his carriage, waved his hand, and set off. !

Shang Fanling was in charge of the production of swords and utensils in the palace, while Sun Lun was walking inside and outside the palace because of Zhao Zhong, and no one dared to check. The two colluded, and they had such a business of reselling palace utensils.

After checking these, when Sun Lun was about to call for departure, he heard that the guard at the head did not let him go, but asked the guards next to him to start checking the barrels on the car...

Money is real when you touch it in your hand. Sun Lun, who had the same idea as Qu Mu, no longer hesitated and agreed.

But no one responded to him.

"Take it out first and give it a try. If it sells well, there will be many more in Shang Fang Prison!"

Qu Mu smiled and said: "Of course I have considered such trivial matters. Don't worry, no one will know that this sword came from the palace."

Sun Lun liked to take the North Gate the most, because the Beitun Sima in charge of the North Gate was familiar with him. Regardless of his presence or not, his subordinates did not dare to check the contents of the car.

"An ordinary Bailian sword outside can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan. The sword here is exquisitely decorated and has complicated craftsmanship. A sword can be sold for 30 to 50,000 yuan at least! It is almost worth our time. profit."

Anyway, it’s the same as usual!

The guards resolutely carried out the order to search the car.

"Stop, you guys, stop it!"

Sun Lun finally panicked. He jumped out of the car and asked again in a stern tone: "This is how Duke Zhao ordered me to leave the palace during the Great Changqiu period. Do you really dare to search?"

……

"Why don't you dare?" A figure stepped out from the shadows.

When Sun Lun saw it, he knelt on the ground and trembled all over.

There is no arrogance at all. "Mr. Zhao..."

"As long as you listen to my advice once..." Zhao Zhong looked at Sun Lun, who had high hopes for him, but was eventually ruined by greed.

"Take it!" Zhao Zhong shook his head, turned his back and walked away without saying a word.

Five or six people from Huangmen followed behind him.

Sun Lun, who was left behind, collapsed to the ground, and the guard he had scolded before came closer.

A face came closer to Sun Lun: "Where did the courage to scold me earlier go?"

"Let me remind you, my surname is Dong. The daughter of the family is not talented, but she is a noble person in the palace...I heard that you are not respectful enough to the daughter? Don't worry, I will ask the prison to take good care of you!"

Suddenly, Dong Cheng sniffed - "What does it smell like?"

Then he stayed away from Sun Lun in disgust.

On the other side, Zhao Zhong became more and more uneasy as he walked, thinking about yesterday.

Yesterday, when the emperor went to Cai Guiren's palace, he suddenly called him over.

Then he asked him to look at a porcelain plate on the table.

The dishes on this porcelain plate look very exquisite, with full color, aroma and flavor. The only flaw is that there is a gap on the edge of the porcelain plate.

This is a serious oversight on the part of those who serve.

But it's not just a matter of omission.

According to Zhao Zhong's understanding, neither the emperor nor Cai Guiren were strict people in this regard.

Zhao Zhong was in the palace for a long time. He took a closer look and suddenly realized that although the porcelain plate in front of him was also made by Shang Fangjian to the palace standard, its quality should be inferior and should not appear here at all.

Only then did he understand the purpose of the emperor calling him here...

"I don't know what happened in this palace in the past."

"I gave you time and a chance to restrain... but is this your reward for me!"

"Mr. Zhao, go and find out who stole my money!"

At that moment, Zhao Zhong admitted that he saw the shadow of the late emperor in the emperor.

Back in time, Zhao Zhong was walking and thinking about who had revealed this to His Majesty.

You know, even though he has been in the palace for a long time, he has a tendency to have this suspicion. His Majesty has never shown that he understands the porcelain plate before, so how can he tell the difference.

There must be someone inside!

Even that porcelain plate might have been specially arranged.

But he didn't see any of the regular servants from Xiaohuangmen getting rewards or promotions.

While thinking, Zhao Zhong had already arrived at Qu Mu's residence.

The ten permanent attendants all have residences outside the palace, but there are not many opportunities for them to live there.

"Be polite."

Fan Cong, who was beside Zhao Zhong, was ordered to knock on the door.

Contrary to Zhao Zhong's expectation, Qu Mu clearly realized what had happened after opening the door, but he did not panic.

"Sit down, Mr. Zhao... If you are not in a hurry, why don't you have a chat with me, a sinner?"

Zhao Zhong nodded and sat opposite Qu Mu.
