But that is just for ordinary people or poor people. For the truly powerful, housing has never been a problem. Especially for a noble prince like King Xiang, there are countless houses.
Some were gifts from the emperor, and some were gifts from the officials below. Just like this empty house in front of him, Prince Xiang has never really visited it once since he got it. He just left a slave here to watch the house.
That's all.
The servant who looked after the house lived in a side courtyard. He got such an idle job because he gave a gift to Wang Yu, the eunuch chief eunuch of Prince Xiang's Mansion. He guarded a courtyard and had nothing to do. He usually had to sleep until three o'clock in the morning.
Only then will I get up.
This morning, he was still asleep as usual. He didn't know what he was dreaming about. His saliva was flowing out from the corners of his mouth, and he would hum softly once or twice. But suddenly there was a sound of pushing the door.
It shocked him. While he was still sleepy and not fully awake, someone had already slipped him out of bed.
"What's going on? Who are you? Let me tell you, a certain person is from Prince Xiang's Mansion..." The housekeeper thought he had encountered a robber, so he wanted to shout a few words loudly to embolden him.
But before he could finish his words, the person who came had already put him on the ground, "I know you are from Prince Xiang's Mansion and are responsible for looking after the house here. But now the house no longer belongs to His Highness Prince Xiang and has been confiscated by Daqian Bank.
, your errand is gone. I’ll give you half a stick of incense to pack up your things and leave.”
The person who spoke was quite civilized and did not use any curse words. He just made a routine statement on behalf of Daqian Bank.
The people who came were all security personnel of Daqian Bank. They had received special training on how to talk to people when they were on a mission, in what way, and what to do when encountering problems. In Shen Ao's words, it was polite.
Do things in a disciplined manner.
There was more than one security guard, there were five people in total, a small team. When they all stood in front of the house watcher, it was still very stressful. "Okay, you can do it, you wait.
."
How did the housekeeper know that such a thing would happen? He didn't even know that the property had been mortgaged and the deed had been sent to Daqian Bank. He only knew that someone was planning on this yard. He
Just report the matter to King Xiang and let him know.
The housekeeper didn't even take his own things, or he forgot in a hurry, or he thought he would come back soon, and he still had to move these things back. Why go through all the trouble?
He ran out all the way and stumbled straight towards Prince Xiang's Mansion. Wang Yu had just gotten up and hadn't even eaten breakfast. Then he saw the panting housekeeper running up to him and said, "Manager Wang, something serious is going wrong.
, a group of people came and wanted to take possession of the house."
"What?" Wang Yu naturally recognized the housekeeper in front of him, so he reacted quickly.
It's just a pity that the housekeeper didn't speak carefully. He even forgot about the visitor's report about Da Qian Qianzhuang because of fear and nervousness. He didn't tell Wang Yu about it. The angry Wang Yu didn't ask any more questions.
It seems that no matter who it is, no one can have an idea of Prince Xiang's property. He only knows that if someone does this, he must be punished. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss of face for Prince Xiang's palace?
"Go and find Zhang, the chief guard. No need, let's go in person." Thinking that the matter was important and he wouldn't trust others, Wang Yu decided to go to the chief guard Zhang of Prince Xiang's Mansion in person and ask him to take him. People beat up the thugs who wanted to seize the property of Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Originally, for such a trivial matter, even if Wang Yu told Zhang to hear it, he only needed to casually instruct a squad leader or the deputy captain of the bodyguard to go. But Zhang wanted to perform well and heard it. When someone came to the door looking for trouble, he thought it was an opportunity to express himself. He followed King Xiang every day, almost doing nothing. After all, King Xiang's name is here, not everyone dares to come, and everyone has the courage to come. Provocative.
Normally, there is no chance to show off. Now that the opportunity has come, how can one give up. Then he kissed twenty guards, and the group resigned from Wang Yu. Under the leadership of the housekeeper, they walked out of Prince Xiang's Mansion and left majestically. .
Just when Zhang Gei led his men out of Prince Xiang's Mansion in a furious manner, the people from Daqian Bank who were in charge of keeping an eye on the situation hurriedly reported the matter, and a large net began to open, waiting for the prey to appear.
How did Zhang Gui know this? The housekeeper couldn't explain it. He just thought that someone wanted to take over the house. He was still thinking in his heart, who dared to take advantage of the courage of a bear and dare to take advantage of King Xiang? Is there really someone who doesn't want to take over the house? Do you know how to write the word "death"?
Even so, he must really take action to teach him a lesson, so that people can know that Prince Xiang's Mansion is the butt of a tiger - it cannot be touched.
A group of more than 20 people came in force and walked through the streets and alleys, attracting the attention of many passers-by. Some people who had nothing to do and were not afraid of big things followed behind them from a distance, wanting to see Look, what did these guards of Prince Xiang's Mansion want to do this morning?
Zhang Gai also noticed that there were people following behind him, but he didn't pay attention at all. He also thought that the more people watching, the better. This time, they were in charge of Prince Xiang's Mansion, and they were afraid of making things worse. He just took this opportunity to show off his power. , and also let the people in Daliang City know that a person like him exists.
In this way, Zhang Gei and his group walked in front, followed by many people watching the excitement, and they soon arrived at the courtyard that was protected by five Daqian Bank security guards.
As soon as Zhang Gei and others appeared, the five security personnel looked nervous at first, and then seemed to remember something. They all stood in place like stakes, not showing any signs of nervousness or fear due to the large number of people coming. .
"That's them." The housekeeper changed his previous behavior of running away like a bereaved dog. Now he was barking and jumping, pointing at the five people to guide Zhang Gui.
"Very good. Young men, no matter who they are, let's deal with them first." Zhang Gei saw that there were hundreds of people watching, and most of the people's eyes were on him at this time, so he Feeling a sudden sense of heroism, he waved his hand, pointed at the five security personnel, and gave the order to the guards of Prince Xiang's Mansion to take action.
As the chief of guard of Prince Xiang's Mansion, Zhang Gei believed that he was a person of high status, and few people would be looked down upon by him. Even if he had recognized that the five Han people were wearing the clothes of the security guards of Daqian Bank, after all, those The dark green uniform leaves a deep impression on people.
But what if they are the security personnel of Daqian Bank? Is there something wrong with them in Prince Xiang's Mansion? It seems that he should be a superior being.
"Close the door." The five security personnel had been paying attention to this end of the street for a long time. When they saw more than 20 people rushing towards them from a distance, they turned around and retreated into the courtyard according to the previously planned plan, with quick movements. Close the courtyard door from the inside.
"Bash the door, climb the wall, rush in and take care of them." Zhang Gai is quite capable, and he said with a commanding look. According to him, even if he comes out this time, he must make a fuss. With a little movement and some results, he could claim credit in front of King Xiang.
Just when the guards of Prince Xiang's Mansion began to attack the compound, two teams rushed over from the other end of the street, one hundred silver-armored guards and thirty government officials from Dali Temple.
As early as yesterday, when Shen Ao went to see Rui Butong, the Minister of Revenue, he told him what might happen today, and asked him whether the Lord Minister should come forward and second some soldiers to prevent any accidents from happening. Although he said The security personnel of Yinzhuang are also strong enough, but after all, they cannot serve as law enforcers. If they were to face the counterattack of Prince Xiang's Mansion, they might be said to be dishonest and dishonest.
Rui Butong agreed to Shen Ao's request after hesitating for a moment. Why didn't he know that with Shen Ao's current influence, he could go directly to His Majesty to explain this matter. But he still put the matter in advance. I told myself that this is a sign of knowing how to do things and knowing how to respect the superior.
There is no superior, and subordinates who like to make their own decisions will cause a lot of headaches.
Moreover, Shen Ao had just delivered two thousand healthy horses, a lot of cattle, sheep, and valuable furs to the treasury as promised when he went to the barbaric land. Once these things are sold, he will probably make a lot of money again. .With money, he can only hold the position of Minister of Household Affairs. It is not true.
Shen Ao is so sensible, how can he do nothing? That style of only taking benefits and not doing anything does not belong to Rui Butong. Besides, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Daqian Bank is under his jurisdiction. No matter what happened, he originally wanted to take the lead.
Rui Butong agreed, and then went to the Yangxin Hall to meet with the emperor and obtain his decree.
Emperor Qianwen was also troubled by the matter of Daqian Bank. Don't look at his appearance of believing in Shen Ao. But after all, he threw in 200 million taels of real gold and silver, which belongs to the national treasury. Once it really comes out If there is a problem, I am afraid that his throne will be unstable.
If Shen Ao hadn't just returned from victory, he might have already pressed him to ask Shen Ao to solve the bank's troubles. Now, Shen Ao took the initiative to take over the job. Of course he wanted it. As for what Rui Butong said. He readily agreed to the matter of mobilizing the Silver Armor Guards and the Yamen of Dali Temple.
Everyone in the world doesn't know that Shen Ao got his permission to start this big money bank. But there are still people who want to see its excitement. Emperor Qianwen has been angry for a long time. How can he care about the life and death of those people now? .
Even if you don't give me face anymore and you still want me to give you face, how big is your face?
Emperor Qianwen agreed, and so the hundred silver-armored guards and thirty Dali Temple officials appeared. They had been waiting outside, waiting for the rightful master to appear, and then they closed the net.
