Chapter 364 Eunuch Du suffered hidden losses under house arrest

Hearing Sun Xin say that if he forcibly intervened in the operation of the Supervisory Committee Bank, he could directly disband the Supervisory Committee Bank. Du Cai was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat on his vest and shouted quickly: "Don't do this!"

He couldn't help but panic. Sun Xin directly sent Zhao Ji a profit of 7 million last month, which amounted to close to 9,000 yuan this year.

The famous Xicheng City imposed excessive taxes and made the people resentful, but the amount of money they could get across the country in a year was only more than 100,000 guan.

There were many eunuchs working in the imperial shops under Zhao Ji. If each shopkeeper or shopkeeper could get a hundred coins for Zhao Ji every year, it would be worthy of him to tell him that he was good.

In comparison, the thousands of money in the Supervisory Committee Bank is really a small amount in Xiao Zhao's eyes. It is precisely because he is specially sent here this time because he is interested in the huge profits of the Supervisory Committee Bank.

If Sun Xin really disbanded the Supervisory Committee Bank in a fit of anger, Du Cai didn't know whether Sun Xin would bear Zhao Ji's anger, but he would definitely be killed by Zhao Ji.

He quickly smiled and said:

"Zhuang Master Sun is joking, how can we get such land? I think this brother Jiang's plan is very good, so why not just implement it."

Sun Xin stared at Du Cai's eyes, looking at him as if he were Ao Ying. Only then did Du Cai realize that Sun Xin's eyes were full of murderous determination, not like a man in his twenties at all.

He looked like a young man of 20 years old, but when he looked at Sun Xin, he felt that the person standing in front of him was a person of Tong Guan Yang Jian's level, who could definitely kill him without any hesitation.

After only looking at each other for a few seconds, Du Cai felt cold sweat break out on his back, and subconsciously avoided Sun Xin's sight, not daring to look at him again.

Only then did Sun Xin burst out laughing. As if nothing had happened, he turned to Jiang Jing and said, "Brother Jiang, Mr. Du also praised you for your well-written plan. Then you can take care of Mr. Du first in the following days."

Wait for a while, wait until the next time you go back to Dengzhou to pick up the luggage, you can go back together."

Jiang Jing nodded, feeling quite shocked by Sun Xin's heroic spirit just now.

This is a group of eunuchs that everyone in the world is afraid of and hates. In front of Sun Xin, he was able to subdue them with just a few words.

It's not that others can't do it, but there are very few people who can treat eunuchs with such sincerity as Sun Xin.

Jiang Jing had been to Liangshan before, and he knew that even those heroes on Liangshan who claimed to be trying to eradicate evil and uphold justice would be groveling when faced with real high-ranking officials and the eunuchs sent by the emperor. None of them could do what Sun Xin did.

Something like this.

Jiang Jing felt more and more in his heart that Sun Xin was the one who really wanted to achieve great things. The bandits on Liangshan Mountain whom he followed in the past said they wanted to achieve great things, but in the end, didn't they all want to be the dogs of these officials and eunuchs?

He took Du Cai and left. After they left, Sun Xin called Wu Song directly and asked Wu Song to send a few men to watch Du Cai and others.

At night, outside Qingzhou City, Du Cai and others quietly gathered in a small tent.

Du Cai asked his three subordinates: "Did you get any news when you went out today?"

The three of them looked at each other, then shook their heads with grimaces.

"Those escorts all dispersed when they saw us approaching. When we asked questions, no one answered."

"Stop asking questions, I chased them and scolded them. They ran much faster than me. I couldn't even catch anyone and beat them."

"The civilians under us have been dismissed by them a long time ago. Now there are only four of us in the camp and five servants who were forced to stay here."

Another clerk said with a grimace: "I'm afraid those servants have also been bribed by Sun Xin. I saw them all being called to lecture in front of a man who looked like a protection officer in the past two days.

"

From the news exchanged with each other, no matter how slow they were, they could tell that at this time they were completely under house arrest by Sun Xin.

A clerk couldn't help but said: "Sun Xin is so brave. How dare he deal with Duke Du like this?"

After finishing speaking, the man was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "I have no intention of complaining, and I am loyal to Duke Du."

Having said that, his disappointment was all over his face. What they said was a minor official was actually just a handyman in the Xicheng Office.

This time Du Cai wanted to come to Dengzhou to work. They wanted to seek an opportunity to make money, so they spent a lot of money to get this job and followed Du Cai out of Bianliang.

As a result, I didn't expect that the other eunuchs were all powerful when they went out, and their subordinates also had a lot of money to make. However, Du Cai had not even entered Dengzhou, and was directly placed under house arrest by Sun Xin in Qingzhou. Not only was it difficult to make money,

It's possible, but life will definitely be difficult in the future.

Everyone fell silent after talking for a while. Now everyone is like a grasshopper on a rope. They can only complain secretly in private, sitting in the city of sleep and sorrow, talking about the same things.

A clerk calmed down and whispered to the other three: "But Sun Xin's family is really rich."

Another person snorted coldly: "I don't know where he got so many soldiers and horses."

"It's not just soldiers and horses."

In order to prevent outsiders from spying on the inner workings of the tent, several people squatted on the ground to prevent their shadows from being illuminated by the light. The little official who was talking had been squatting on the ground for too long, and his legs were numb, so he moved a little.

Body, continue to be small

He said to the three people: "I have been to Junzhou with my father-in-law before, and I have seen their soldiers and horses training. They are the ordinary Xiang army of our Song Dynasty... No, let alone the Xiang army, even the Forbidden Army is not like that.

His protective army is so organized."

As soon as this statement came out, several people were surprised.

Du Cai has been in the palace since he was a child. He has never served in the military and has never seen this military tent. Hearing this, he was surprised and asked: "Is this true?"

The clerk nodded: "Not only that, but also looking at the food among his protective troops, I quietly counted that there is one meal of meat every three days. How is this the treatment of ordinary soldiers?"

As soon as these words came out, another clerk also remembered the matter: "I followed a father-in-law to Laiwu to supervise the iron mines. Although I only worked under him, I also saw the iron produced by the miners."

"Even the best iron used to pay taxes to the government is not as beautiful as the iron mouth of the gun used by the protecting army. Just one of their rifled guns, that iron

If you don’t say anything, Guan Zi will have to pay a lot of money in exchange for it!”

Upon hearing this, the three of them were all shocked.

Several people present have extensive experience in exploiting people all over the world. After analyzing the characters they have met and their past bad experiences, they gradually discovered that although the protection army looked simple at first glance and had ordinary muskets.

The soldiers in the company did not have armor, but from top to bottom, whether it was the discipline of the army or the cost of food and clothing, they all exceeded the standards of the Forbidden Army, and the attitude of the officers and the temperament of the soldiers were far different.

Finally, Du Cai also remembered something: "In the past few days, I have been thinking about whether I could sneak out quietly, so I secretly took a look at his camp."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of the three clerks were a little ugly. Du Cai looked at the camp secretly and obviously didn't want to lead them away and wanted to escape alone.

Although he is a eunuch, he is only in his twenties. He usually eats well, lives well, and is in good health. Compared with the small officials like them who exploit the people and get fat, they have better hands and feet.

However, the three of them did not dare to say this in front of Du Cai.

Du Cai continued: "The barracks of the protection army seemed to be very reluctant to light up the torches at night to reveal their location, but I walked all the way and could quietly see their camp even from a high place on a sunny day.

The scope, at least, stretches to several nearby hills, and two to three thousand people are ambushed, and judging from the way he is carrying supplies, it is obvious that there are still soldiers and horses in the city."

As soon as this statement came out, the three officials were a little surprised. One of them secretly calculated and said: "Then it will be at least four or five thousand soldiers and horses... My God, a state capital may not be able to gather so many soldiers, right?"

.”

The junior official who had stayed in Junzhou said categorically: "I can't make it up. If it weren't for the state capital that is responsible for military affairs, there wouldn't be so many people even if they were recruited from the countryside, let alone such brave and strong people.

Strong troops."

As they talked, the eyes of the four people gradually changed, and they could see each other's thoughts when they looked at each other.

A petty official suddenly asked Du Cai: "Du Gong, where do you think we can go even if we escape?"

"Yes, if you go back to Bianliang, you will definitely make the officials unhappy."

"Besides, we don't have any real evidence of his crime. This Sun Xin just disagrees with our way of doing business. This is not a crime. Even if he goes back and tells the officials, they might also punish him.

Let's not say that Sun Xin is wrong."

Du Cai nodded: "It seems that we can't be tough with Sun Xin, we have to take it easy."

It was said that he was trying to do it slowly, but Du Cai had actually decided to surrender.

He was also shocked by Sun Xin's strength before making such a decision. If Sun Xin had not shown his powerful military strength in the past few days, Du Cai would definitely have to fight with Sun Xin for a while. Now that Du Cai knows that he is not Sun Xin

His opponent, as a eunuch from Xicheng, he had no bones to begin with, so he immediately changed his mind and decided to flatter Sun Xin.

Du Cai secretly cried out that he was unlucky. It was impossible for him to come to Dengzhou to take advantage of the territory and even dominate. Instead, he had to flatter Sun Xin and hoped that he could run the Supervisory Committee Bank well so that he would not have to worry about it.

It didn't make sense to the emperor.

Facing a big landowner like Sun Xin who had soldiers and food, didn't care about the banking business of the Supervisory Committee, and was loved by Zhao Ji, Du Cai really had no choice.

He made up his mind that what he was pursuing in his trip to Danzhou was nothing more than not losing anything. Of course, he had a way to write down the things he did in Dengzhou in a colorful report, but earning more money was

It's unlikely. What Du Cai is thinking about now is to stay in Dengzhou for a while, get enough experience to leave an impression on the officials, and then see if there is a chance to leave.
