From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 83 Mei Zhongkai

After thinking for a long time, Zongzheng Mingzhen opened his mouth, only to see him smiling slightly, picked up the teacup and replied casually: "Give it to her, the right is her compensation. If there is no bank note, I will give it all in cash and let her take it by herself." Bar."

15 taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is also a lot, especially the 50 taels of silver ingots, which is enough for her to count.

As soon as Zichen heard this, he immediately understood what it meant, smiled unkindly and said, "Yes, this subordinate obeys orders!"

Putting the letter in his hand back on the table, Zichen bowed his hands and retreated respectfully.

After a stick of incense, Mei Xin and the others left the city, and were about to gallop back home when they thought that the old man who blocked her at the teahouse appeared again.Not surprised at all as expected, Mei Xin opened the curtain of the carriage and asked: "Have you thought about it?"

His face blushed and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed. The old man muffled, "The three-day period is too long, I can't wait. Tell me, where are you going to trade?"

Seeing that he is no longer talking nonsense like before, Mei Xin knows that he has learned a lesson. Of course, the lesson of 5 taels is indeed enough for him to remember in his heart for a lifetime.She had expected them to come, and Mei Xin had just thought about it, and replied unhurriedly: "The goods are in Liangzhou, let's go to Liangzhou."

It was impossible to transport those wrought irons to the capital if they had to hurry, so she asked Feichen to bring a hundred cavalry back to Liangzhou on the day the robbery arrived.

"How to trade?" The old man had already received the news from Yan Jingchen, and knew the specific location of the goods, but Liangzhou was the territory of the Mei family, and they dared not go to Liangzhou to snatch it even if they had the courage.

In fact, it's not a matter of daring to rob, they won't be able to escape after robbing, and the influence of the Mei family in Liangzhou can easily catch them.

Wrought iron is certainly pleasing, but at present, Mei Xin is even more lacking in silver.So, she said: "Tomorrow at noon, there will be someone waiting for you at the Juyuan Loutian shop. Yunying, let's go!"

Putting down the curtain of the carriage, Mei Xin didn't say anything, Yunying sat on the horse and waved her hand, "Let's go!"

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and a group of more than a dozen rode away on horseback.

Maybe it was because he knew the temper of the Mei family and knew that they were people who kept their promises, so the old man didn't catch up.He turned around and went back to the city to report directly to Zongzheng Mingzhen.

Zongzheng Mingzhen didn't say anything when he heard it, he was sure that the prince and others would not be able to leave for a while, so he rushed back to Beijing with Li Yu on horseback.

At noon the next day, Feichen showed up in Juyuan Building on time, and when he heard that it was Xian Yin, he immediately laughed.But all bank notes have deposit numbers, and the ins and outs can be checked clearly. In the end, it is easy to find out where the money was used.Current silver is different, as long as it is not marked, no one will know whose silver it is.Therefore, he agreed very straightforwardly: "Yes, at midnight tonight, we will trade behind the City God's Temple in the north of the city. One hand is silver and the other hand is goods, and the money and goods will not be owed again."

The entire Liangzhou was in the hands of the Mei family, and Feichen wasn't worried at all that he would play tricks.

Knowing the current situation and knowing that this is the territory of the Mei family, the old man stood up and said, "It's a deal, let's say goodbye!"

The old man bowed his hands and left with the two of them. Yan Jingchen was still waiting for him at Qiuji Bank, so he had to hurry over to report the situation.But General Mei is really not afraid of trouble, 15 taels of silver, more than a dozen big boxes, it will be up to them to count them all.

In the capital, in the middle of Yinghua Street, in Chen Xiangxie in Prince Liang's Mansion, a young man in a blue gown and wearing a wooden hairpin was writing a book.He was handsome, with an oval face, a high nose bridge, and a pair of piercing eyes under thick black eyebrows.

Xu is because of his years of studying literature and ink, he is full of bookishness, his face is fair and clean, giving people a sense of elegance and cleanliness.He was writing, his fingers were long and slender with distinct joints, and his neatly trimmed nails made him look even more clean.

On the paper spread on the table is written Sun Tzu's Art of War: The best strategy is to attack the heart!
"Second Master, Second Master, it's not good, something serious has happened." Before the person arrived, the voice came, and Lin Hai, Mei Zhongkai's servant and entourage, rushed in hastily.

As if he was used to his yelling, Mei Zhongkai was unmoved at all, and continued to move without raising his eyelids.

As a descendant of the Mei family, he has already memorized Sun Tzu's art of war fluently, but his mother is reluctant to let him go, and refuses to let him join the army to make contributions.If you can't show your ambitions, you can only study military books hard. You don't expect to be able to go to the battlefield one day.

A gust of wind rushed toward his face, and the nervous Lin Hai came in front of him, seeing that he was calm, as if he didn't hear him at all, and hurriedly said: "Second Master, it's not good, something serious happened."

After finishing writing and putting away the pen, Mei Zhongkai looked up at Lin Hai, seeing him running profusely in sweat, he couldn't help but jokingly said: "If you didn't grow up in this family, I would suspect that you are a woman. Yesterday I yelled out It's a big deal, and I said it a while ago, so what's going on today? Is there another commotion in the backyard?"

There is a grandmother who doesn't know what is good or what is bad, and big things happen every day in the Mei family.He is a man, and after he was ten years old, he moved to live alone in the front yard. Therefore, he didn't want to take care of the affairs of the back house, and he was bored, bored, and tired.

Shaking his head violently, Lin Hai blurted out: "No, it's not about the backyard, Second Master, Second Master..."

As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I heard movement in the corridor. I turned around and walked to the door to look around. When I saw no one, I closed the door.Then walked a few steps back to Mei Zhongkai and said in a low voice: "The servant just got the news that the person who returned to Beijing was not the uncle, but the eldest lady."

There was a shock in my heart and I was stunned for a moment, a drop of ink dripped from the tip of the Langhao pen that had not been put down.The ink smudged away and a good word was ruined, Mei Zhongkai came back to his senses and said, "Big sister?"

Although the Mei family has four households, the only one who can call everyone a young lady is Mei Xin, the daughter of Prince Liang's mansion.

"En!" Nodding his head vigorously, Lin Hai said decisively: "The slave just delivered something to the second master, and I personally listened to what he told Li Gui'er beside me."

Frowning deeply, Mei Zhongkai lowered his head and put down the pen in his hand. Mei Zhongkai sat down on the chair and said thoughtfully: "My father? Why is he back at this time? Is the Ministry of Rites very busy recently?"

Mei Zhongkai's father, Mei Jingxuan, was demoted because of being impeached by the censor and reprimanded by the emperor.Downgraded two ranks in a row and became a doctor of the fifth rank in the Ministry of Rites. He is insignificant, but he is not idle on weekdays.

Lin Hai didn't know, but he heard it, so he immediately replied truthfully: "Second Lord said he was sick and felt uncomfortable all over, so he asked for leave and came back to rest for two days."

When running back, the second lady had already sent someone to invite the doctor, and it was estimated that the doctor would be here by now.
