It is said that there are people from King Xiang in Dali Temple. But the transfer of these thirty government officials was not a big deal in the first place. In addition, these government officials did not know what they were going to do before, so the scene is like this. I must turn to Xiang. When Wang finds out, he will be very angry again.
Zhang Gaizheng commanded people to prepare to attack the courtyard, and then took out the five security personnel of Daqian Bank to vent his anger. Unexpectedly, so many people appeared behind him. But he was not afraid. On the contrary, he acted like a victim. Zi Qi said, "Come, you are here at the right time. Look, there are people robbing houses in broad daylight. Come and help us do it."
Zhang Geizheng said solemnly, unexpectedly, the silver-armored guards and government officials surrounded them first, and then disarmed them. Anyone who did not cooperate would be hit with several sticks, causing all the people in Prince Xiang's Mansion to be hit. The guards were beaten and didn't know what happened.
To say that the guards of Prince Xiang's Mansion are pretty good, not to say that they are all carefully selected, but they are also capable people. If there is a fight, even though they are smaller in number, they are not without their own strength. They can compete. They are the Silver Armored Guards and the government officials of Dali Temple. One of them represents the military and the other represents the local government. If they really get involved, it will be a big deal if they are stabbed by someone with intentions.
I'm afraid that when that time comes, even if King Xiang steps forward to protect them, he will have to pay a high price.
With the intention of not causing trouble for his master, Zhang Gui angrily scolded the intruder while ordering his guards to put down their weapons and not to resist. Anyway, he believed that he was justified. As long as he didn't take action, he would not go back to the lawsuit. Fear.
Under Zhang Gai's order, the guards of Prince Xiang's Mansion were tied up with great cooperation. A storm of property snatching was over before it started. Many people who followed to see the excitement saw what they had just seen. The scene where Zhang Gei and others were taken away by the silver-armored guards and the Yamen servants.
As soon as Zhang Gai and others were taken away, the gate of the courtyard opened. Five security personnel from Daqian Bank stood up. While there were still so many people present, they explained loudly that this was a very big deal. How could you miss a good publicity opportunity?
According to the security personnel, this courtyard previously belonged to Prince Xiang, but was later mortgaged to Daqian Bank by Shi Zitong, a staff member of Prince Xiang's Mansion, on the grounds of poor cash flow. It lasted for three months. Now that the time has expired, the other party has not paid back the money. , according to the rules, the property must be confiscated. Not only that, in order to make up for the shortfall, the courtyard is now for sale. The base price is only 200,000 taels of silver. Later, Daqian Bank will prepare a special auction, and the highest bidder will get it.
The people in Daliang City are no strangers to auctions. Weren't the glass products that appeared one after another in the past sold through auctions?
The people watching the excitement realized what had happened through the explanations of the security personnel. Many people lamented that Daqian Bank was really vigorous. Even though they knew it was the property of King Xiang, they collected it when it was due and sold it when the time came. It was really Very courageous.
Of course, there are also people who are considering the auction. After all, the courtyard originally worth 300,000 taels is now only sold for 200,000 taels. If you can buy it, the difference in price will be quite a lot. Wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money by changing hands? ?
No matter what thoughts they had, the crowd who watched the excitement finally left, and then the news about what happened here quickly spread through word of mouth. It didn't take long for the incident to reach Prince Xiang's palace.
At this time, Prince Xiang's Mansion had already received the news, and the insider in Dali Temple had also reported the news not long ago.
At this time, Prince Xiang had just gotten up. When he was halfway through breakfast with his maid serving him, he saw Wang Yu, the eunuch in charge, stumbled in and knelt down at his feet with a plop.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see that the king was dining?" Seeing Wang Yu's appearance, Prince Xiang looked dissatisfied.
It was Wang Yu who came, and he had always taken good care of him. If it had been someone else, he would have started punching and kicking him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, something bad has happened. A property we mortgaged at Daqian Bank has been confiscated. We also have the guard Zhang Zhang to bring people to reason. Now he has also been arrested by the Yinjia Guards and the Yamen of Dali Temple. Are you being held there now, saying that Your Highness is being asked to pay for the money to redeem someone?"
The look of horror on Wang Yu's face was actually what Zhang brought people out and he allowed it. Because Prince Xiang hadn't gotten up yet, he didn't report it. This was his own private behavior. Who knew what Prince Xiang would do? I won’t regret myself for this.
"What, there is such a thing, is there a rebellion?" The next moment, King Xiang was also angry, and suddenly knocked the bowl in front of him to the ground, causing the maids waiting on the side to scream and retreat. aside.
"Get out, all of you, get out. Wang Yu, come forward and tell me what happened?" Looking at the performance of the maids, King Xiang waved his hands impatiently, and then his eyes fell on Wang Yu's eyes. He wanted to find out what happened. Why was the house taken over, why was the head guard arrested, and why did all these things happen this morning.
Wang Yu knew that the matter could not be avoided, so he made a detailed report on everything that happened before King Xiang got up.
After a while, Wang Yu explained the matter clearly. When he just looked up, he saw a big foot kicking towards his face. Then his facial features were instantly twisted into a ball, and there was a huge pain. The feeling came from his face, and King Xiang kicked him to the ground.
The reason for King Xiang's kick was to vent his anger, and also because Wang Yu made the decision privately without asking for instructions.
Wang Yu, who was kicked over, had begun to bleed from his nostrils, but he didn't care at all. He hurriedly climbed over on his knees and came to the feet of King Xiang again. He had served his master for such a long time, and he knew his master's character very well. Before the anger is completely vented, it is useless to dodge, it will only bring more anger. Only by hitting the left cheek and then giving the right cheek can the master dissipate the anger.
Sure enough, Wang Yu, who had just crawled over, was kicked to the ground by King Xiang again, and there was another semi-clear shoe mark on his face. Then he got up again, and after repeating this several times, the panting King Xiang Then he stopped his legs, then pinched his waist and said: "Go, invite all the gentlemen over, quickly."
Wang Yulian immediately agreed and went out to look for the person. Half an hour later, Han Ce, Shi Zitong and Zheng Qi all stood in front of King Xiang.
Prince Xiang's expression had returned to normal at this time, but judging from the movements of his arms from time to time, it was obvious that he was still quite angry. "You all know the matter, can you tell me what to do next?"
When King Xiang asked for advice, the three staff members stood there like wooden stakes without saying a word.
Han Ce had made plans before, and he did not agree to inflict trouble on Daqian Bank. That was something that the emperor and Duke Zhong had jointly accomplished. How could he let others take advantage of it?
The reason why things didn't break out was because the time hadn't come yet. Now it seems that everything he planned has been realized, what else can he say now?
Zheng Qi didn't speak because he didn't know what to say. After all, he couldn't find any clue about such a complicated situation, so naturally he couldn't come up with any good strategies.
The last one, Shi Zitong, had nothing to say at all. He was the one who handled the matter in the first place, and he was also the one who supported the attack on Daqian Bank the most.
Before anything happened, of course it was hello, hello, hello to everyone. But now that there is a problem, he seems to be the culprit. You still ask him to say something. If he talks more, isn't it? Let King Xiang pay attention to himself and cause trouble for himself?
"What's wrong? Why don't you say anything? Don't you usually talk a lot and have solutions? You all look like you could pluck off the moon in the sky. Now that I'm asking for advice, you've all become mute. ?" Seeing that the three of them didn't say a word, King Xiang, who was already angry, became even more angry. When he looked at the three of them, he had already stretched out his right hand and started pointing. The appearance should fall on the faces of the three of them at any time.
"Shi Zitong, tell me. This matter was originally your idea. Now that something has happened, you should come up with a solution. I guess you should have planned everything before. Now let's talk about a solution." When people responded, King Xiang began to take the initiative to name names.
Shi Zitong, who was afraid of being unable to escape, suddenly had a bitter look on his face when his name was called.
What can he do?
I originally thought that Shen Ao was overestimating his capabilities and brought a thousand guards with him. He recruited three thousand rangers and then went to find trouble with the barbarians. It was obviously an act of death. As long as Shen Ao left, I was afraid that he would never come back. Daqian Naturally, the bank is not far away from collapse. If you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, you won't take advantage of it, right?
Who would have thought that Shen Ao could come back?
It should be said that what Shi Zitong hates most now is not Shen Ao, but the barbarians. They are said to be brave and ruthless, and good at conquering. Now it seems that this is just an exaggeration. They can't even defeat a young man who has just entered the battlefield. , you still claim to be a strong army, bah!
In his heart, he was still cursing the barbarians for their appearance and lack of reality. But he forgot that King Xiang was waiting for his answer. Seeing that a while had passed, Shi Zitong did not even mean to answer his question, and King Xiang was even more Angry, he raised his foot and kicked Shi Zitong, who was like a stick.
As a staff member of Prince Xiang's Mansion, he is not a servant. Normally, when Prince Xiang is angry, he just scolds them for being incompetent and will not do anything. But now, he actually took action, which is enough to prove the anger in Prince Xiang's heart at this moment. .
