Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

Chapter 41 The audacious Beisheng

Lang Zhuo left without lunch and went directly back to his house.

He took a leave of absence from the court and was recuperating at his residence these days.

A flying letter from Tuoba Zhao hit the door of Lang's house. Lang Zhuo had a splitting headache when he looked at the words on it. He held his forehead with one hand and punched the case hard with the other.

The wound that Beisheng had bandaged in the morning suddenly burst open and blood gradually oozed out.

"Sir, your injury!" Qingyang stepped forward to support Lang Zhuo's injured wrist. The originally white gauze was stained with blood.

Qingyang frowned in distress, "I'll ask Miss Xu Er to bandage the adults again."

"Don't, don't go!"

Lang Zhuo put his hand on his forehead and calmed down, then said: "Go to Boran and ask her to go to Baijin Smith's Shop to send a message to Tuoba Zhao, asking him to wait for me at the east city gate today at You hour, and I will personally take him out of the city. .”

"Sir! I need to release the key when I pass the city gate at Youshi. Do you want to send Tuoba Zhao all the way out of the gate?"

"Stop being so nagging, go quickly!" Lang Zhuo raised his hand and pushed Qingyang.

Qingyang had just left when Orfeng ran over in a panic, "Sir, people from the capital's government office have surrounded the entire capital, hunting for a businessman named Yan Mo."

"Yan Mo? Yan Mo is in the capital?"

"Yes, I heard that Yan Mo signed a contract with King Leping's people at midnight yesterday for a batch of raw silk and cotton. King Leping felt that the price was too high this morning, so he reported it to the capital government office, saying that he had been deceived. Only then was he arrested, and even the sea arrest documents were issued."

Lang Zhuo frowned and smiled bitterly, "This Yan Mo used to be quite powerful. In the past two years, he only did tea business. Unexpectedly, he bought all the grain this year, and also did cotton and raw silk business. He even became the king of Leping." head."

Ao Feng followed with a smile and said, "It is said that there is no business without treachery. I think this Yan Mo is not only a profiteer, but also a daring person. According to outsiders, the batch of goods that Yan Mo left to King Leping is worth at most more than 10,000 taels." Silver, but he took forty-six thousand taels from King Leping."

"Actually, I don't blame Yan Mo for being cruel. Who told King Leping to be in such a hurry? He was dozing off in the middle of the night, so he paid for the goods and delivered the goods. He didn't realize it until early in the morning, and now he couldn't find anyone."

Lang Zhuo held his bleeding wrist and murmured in a low voice: "Since the city gate is blocked and he can't escape, let him live for a few more days."

Before Orfeng could react, Lang Zhuo raised his head and said to him: "Go to Zuixian Tower to call Qingyang back."

"Yes."

……

It was already Youshi when Nanyin returned to the Duke's Mansion, as if someone had taken out his soul, he was stunned.

Mrs. Yun asked for a long time before she burst into tears, "I was defrauded of five thousand taels of silver! That's all my savings..."

Mrs. Yun frowned and asked in a shocked voice, "What did you do to be deceived?"

"It's the prince..." Nanyin sobbed and said intermittently: "He said that it will be cold this year, so he can stock up on some supplies in advance and sell them at a high price... I gave him all my money. There was a businessman last night I claimed to have a large amount of cotton and raw silk on hand, but the goods that were originally worth only 10,000 taels were defrauded of 46,000 taels. My money is gone, and the prince’s money is gone...Mom, what should I do? Let’s do it…”

Ye Zhi's heart tightened when he heard this, "What kind of person is he? He is so bold that he dares to lie to King Leping?"

"It's a man named Yan Mo... Your Majesty woke up this morning and sent people to search for him, but he couldn't be found all day long..." Nan Yin cried heartbreakingly.

"Don't worry, the prince is still investigating, there will always be news." Mrs. Yun lovingly wiped her daughter's tears.

Five thousand taels of silver was a big sum for Nanyin, but it was nothing to the Duke's government. Mrs. Yun used her personal money to subsidize 5,000 taels to Nanyin, and Nanyin finally calmed down.

After being hungry all day, she couldn't even take a bite of food and sobbed to sleep. Mrs. Yun waited for Nanyin to fall asleep and asked her maids to take care of her carefully. Then she and Ye Zhi returned to Meixiangju.

After leaving the door of Qinghuaju, Ye Zhi lowered his voice and said: "Whoever dares to deceive King Leping like this is probably King Leping's enemy. But now there is no news about His Highness the Crown Prince. King Leping is the only one in the capital. Who dares to challenge Leping?" Is the king right?"

Mrs. Yun was in the back house and didn't know much about what was going on outside. She had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen in the capital.

She said nervously: "My father-in-law hasn't come back yet, we don't care about other things. You take good care of the eldest girl, and tell the outside world that the eldest girl is sick. Whether it is King Leping or others, they all say so, and don't let the eldest girl go out." .”

Ye Zhi nodded, "Yes, I understand."

The commotion in Qinghuaju was so loud that Beisheng could hear it clearly in Qingaiyuan.

She sat on the couch, leaning on the couch, her eyes slightly closed, her feet soaking in the potion in the wooden basin, and the whole room was filled with a strange medicinal fragrance.

Chang Yue knelt down with his head bowed. He answered whatever Beisheng asked, not daring to look up.

As soon as Nanyin fell asleep, Chang Yue came to report the news to the second girl. Unfortunately, the second girl was taking a foot bath.

Beisheng asked: "What's going on in Prince Leping's Mansion today?"

Chang Yue lowered his head and said with a smile: "Of course it was a big fuss. King Leping smashed everything in the house. He also asked people to tie up Zhao Kun and beat him. Finally, he stripped off his clothes and threw them out. He almost She froze to death. When the elder girl learned that she had been cheated, her legs were so weak that she could no longer walk. It was the villain and Hongzhu Luxiu who helped her out."

"But King Leping notified the capital government office, painted a portrait of the liar and posted it everywhere, and issued an official arrest warrant. When we came back today, we heard that he had been chased out of the capital, but we didn't know if we could catch him."

Beisheng's heart tightened when he heard this, and he said softly: "Bring the portrait over tomorrow and let me take a look."

"Yes, second girl."

Beisheng winked at Lu Zhu, and Lu Zhu took out two silver ingots and gave them to Chang Yue, "This is what the second lady rewarded you for."

Chang Yue took the silver ingot and kowtowed twice on the ground, "I would like to thank you, Miss Er, for the reward. I would like to thank you, Miss Er, for the reward."

Lu Zhu said: "Go back quickly while no one is paying attention."

Chang Yue lowered his head and exited Beisheng's house.

Lu Zhu hurriedly closed the door and asked with a worried look: "Then Boss Yan..."

Beisheng closed his eyes and said nothing.

She was not worried that Yan Mo had not escaped. He was a good man, and he could transport so much cotton and raw silk to the capital when the ice and snow were everywhere. Now that he was traveling lightly, was he still afraid that he would not be able to escape?
  What's more, the medicine Guang Xin gave them last night was so distracting that they probably couldn't even see what Yan Mo's face looked like. King Leping and Xu Nanyin made a lot of money, and Zhao Kun also made a lot of money.

She read the contract signed by Yan Mo and Zhao Kun today. There was at least ten thousand taels of silver in it that should belong to Zhao Kun.

Since Xiao Yi beat up Zhao Kun, she might as well help Xiao Yi and make Xiao Yi's reputation worse.

Bei Sheng opened his eyes and said calmly: "Let Jing Fan go out, find that Zhao Kun, and save his life."

"Yes." Lu Zhu obeyed the instructions and left.

That Zhao Kun, Beisheng had no enmity with him, but he was only used by her because he was involved with King Leping.

It's not her intention to hurt innocent people.
