Hu Sanwan glanced at the crown prince with disdain, stepped forward and pushed him, Xuanyuan Zixun fell to the ground and cried: "You hit me, you hit me, I told my father that you hit me, wuwuwuwu,
Mother, they beat me, they beat me, they don’t play with me, wuwuwu..."
"Why are you so crazy?" Hu Sanwan asked.
Ruan Qingwen said: "The one who could conquer the world is now a prisoner. Anyone would go crazy."
Chen Guanxi said: "Fortunately, this prince has not become the emperor. If he becomes the emperor, he will definitely cause cholera in the country."
Hu Sanwan said: "It's the same no matter who is the emperor. How can they sympathize with the sufferings of the people when they grow up in a deep palace compound? Just talk about this prince. How can he understand how much taxes the people have to pay when the battlefield lasts for a year? Ordinary people
Overwhelmed, he is still singing and dancing in the camp, do you think he will change after becoming emperor?"
Ruan Qingwen said: "No matter who becomes the emperor, the prince must be deposed. Wherever he is placed, he will prick his hand like a hedgehog."
Guan Cheng was eager to give it a try: "How about we kill him? Just say that the person sent by Lianglang Pass is a dead person?"
"The new emperor must have a good reputation. If we kill his brother, although he will be happy inside, he will definitely avenge his brother to win over the royal family, so he cannot die in our hands." Ruan Qingwen said with a gloomy face, "This
This is also the reason why Cao Yan gave him to Mucheng."
Hu Sanwan and Chen Guanxi searched the prince's body. Xuanyuan Zixun did not resist. Sure enough, he had tiger charms and banknotes with him. Hu Sanwan counted them and found that there were as many as 1,750,000 taels. There were three people.
He exclaimed that the prince had probably received an inflated salary from the Qinglong Army, and that the Minister of Household Affairs was the prince's father-in-law. The two sons-in-law had emptied the treasury.
After taking the tiger talisman and the banknote, Ruan Qingwen stayed at Lianglangguan to hold off Cao Yan and others, while Hu Sanwan and Chen Guanxi soldiers went to Huizhou and Daizhou in two groups, saying that they respect the commander-in-chief of the Qinglong Army, Zhenbei General Crown Prince Ling.
Money was raised from various Hengtong banks to support the Yaojin front line. A total of 100,000 taels of silver were obtained from seven silver stores, especially in Huizhou City, where the Qinglong Army originally stored military pay, and five taels of silver were cashed out here.
One hundred thousand taels.
Hu Sanwan and others took advantage of the night to go to Cunxinguan and hid 600,000 taels of silver there. Chen Guanxi led 150 soldiers disguised as Taoist priests and stayed here to take charge of guarding. Hu Sanwan took 100,000 taels of silver.
The two taels of silver were disguised as spices and returned to Lianglangguan. Although the 1.5 million taels of silver notes were only exchanged for 700,000 taels, this was already all the treasury silver in the Hengtong Bank in Huizhou and Daizhou. If you want to
After all the 1.5 million taels of silver have been exchanged, the silver must be transported from Longdu Headquarters.
Ruan Qingwen laughed: "That's enough, that's enough. Leave half of it for the court and let them snatch it away."
Hu Sanwan proposed to use the remaining money to exchange it at Hengtong Bank in Lianglang City, but Ruan Qingwen refused. Every move they made in Lianglang City was witnessed by the wolf guards. If they rashly exchanged and took away, the wolf guards would not only stop them
, in the future some people will suspect that they took away 700,000 taels of silver, and they will be punished.
They said goodbye to the Wolf Guard first, saying that they had purchased enough spices and salt. Tomorrow evening, when it was dark, they would hide the prince in the car and leave the customs. They also asked the Wolf Guard not to check, lest anyone know that the prince had stayed in the Wolf Guard.
Cao Yan was not aware of the deceit and allowed the passage, but also ordered the soldiers not to inspect the troops leaving Mucheng. Lianglang Pass has always been easier to leave than to enter the pass, so the Wolf Guard focused on inspecting only those entering the pass, and the Wolf Guard was happy
I have some free time and don’t check on Mucheng’s purchasing team.
Before the evening of the next day, Hu Sanwan and Ruan Qingwen left Lianglangguan in the dark. When they returned to Mucheng, Zhang Xiaowu burst into laughter when he saw the one hundred thousand taels of silver, and jumped in anger. Xiao Kai and others suspected that he had obtained it.
He lost his mind and went crazy. Afterwards, Zhang Xiaowu covered his chest and lamented: "Seven hundred thousand taels, half of it is missing."
It turned out that Zhang Xiaowu regretted that the 1.5 million taels of silver notes were exchanged for only 750,000 taels of silver. After this opportunity passed, the dragons stopped, fearing that they would never have the chance to take away the silver.
Zhang Xiaowu then asked: "Is there no suspicion in Huizhou Daizhou?"
"No, they don't know that we took it from them." Ruan Qingwen said, "It seems that other places in the Central Plains still don't know about the defeat of the Green Dragon Army."
Zhang Xiaowu considered sending someone to exchange the silver again, but quickly rejected his method. If he was too greedy, he would be exposed. Seven hundred thousand taels of silver was enough.
Ruan Qingwen bowed his head to the ground and apologized: "The prince was forced to us by Cao Yan. We couldn't evade it. We happened to need to transport silver taels out of customs, so we used the excuse that the wolf guards were not allowed to check the prince, so we handed over one hundred thousand taels of silver.
We were successfully brought out of the Two Wolf Pass."
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xiaowu said, "With these 700,000 taels of silver, we won't be afraid of being fined by the emperor in the future. This is called having food in hand and not panic, and I finally have Boss Ma's
I can speak confidently, but I am not interested in money. My biggest regret in life is having too much money."
Ruan Qingwen thought to himself, "What are you talking about?", and seeing that he didn't seem to be stupid, he thought that he really didn't love money, and that he took money because he didn't love money, it must be to settle the future of his brothers. He was very moved in his heart,
He felt that Zhang Xiaowu could create such a foundation at such a young age, and indeed he had strong personal abilities and charisma. While moved, he asked again: "City Lord, where is the prince?"
"Leave it to Li Chuncheng. Arrange him in a dungeon and hold him in solitary confinement. Don't have contact with outsiders, and don't let him die."
"Here."
That night, Zhang Xiaowu came to the dungeon and looked coldly at the enemy in front of him through the wooden fence. Looking at the disheveled and crazy prince in front of him, he thought of Shi Jing's death, Ding Yi's death, and Jiu'er's death.
Death, thinking of Shao Zifu's death, Tao Wang's death... He punched the wooden fence, and actually smashed the thick wooden fence into pieces.
Li Chuncheng was startled, stepped forward and said, "Sir, what are you..."
Zhang Xiaowu gritted his teeth and said: "This person killed my closest relatives and friends. This person caused tens of thousands of people to die in Saibei. This person deserves to die!"
Li Chuncheng understood and said: "Understood." He knew that Zhang Xiaowu was from the 27th Regiment, and he also knew how tragic the battle in Tucheng was, and the hatred between Zhang Xiaowu and the prince was as deep as the sea.
Zhang Xiaowu was angry for a while, then shook his head and sighed, saying: "But he can't die yet, at least he can't die in your or my hands. When the new emperor ascends the throne, we will have to send him back."
"Send it back?"
"Yes, the new emperor will kill him." Zhang Xiaowu said coldly, "He won't survive next year. We don't need to cause these troubles."
Li Chuncheng said: "If the city lord wants to make his life worse than death, I have many ways."
Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said: "It's not necessary, just let him continue to go crazy."
