Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Zhang Jiujin said: "Put the stones in a sack first, and then put them at the bottom. The top sack is filled with real gold and silver. If Cui Yigui really wants to come to the granary for inspection, he can't put the top one aside for inspection." , and check the sacks at the bottom, shall we? In this way, wouldn’t it be possible to steal all the money out without anyone noticing it?”

"what?"

Guo Ye's face brightened, and he gave Zhang Jiujin a thumbs-up and praised: "Jiujin, your IQ is rising now? You are more and more able to use your brain to do things, yes, yes, you have made great progress! Okay, I see You can do this!"

"Thank you for your appreciation!"

Zhang Jiujin was a little proud, raised his head coquettishly, and said cheerfully, "My lord, then I'll go back and discuss it with Bajin, and we will start to act tonight!"

Guo Ye hummed, nodded, and was about to open his mouth to say yes, when suddenly a man trotted in, his footsteps were heavy and the rhythm was hasty, and he kept shouting: "My lord, my lord, something is wrong!"

Guo Ye and Zhang Jiujin looked back and saw that it was Wang Bajin who was in charge of the granary.

As soon as Wang Bajin came to him, he was still out of breath, so Guo Ye asked displeasedly, "Bajin, didn't you ask someone to watch over the granary?"

"Forget it, my lord!"

After Wang Bajin took a few breaths, he complained with a depressed face: "You don't know that Cui Yigui, a thieves and foxes, actually sent his confidant shopkeeper surnamed Hu to the granary. Guess what the old man surnamed Hu said?" ? He said that their boss was worried about this side and always felt that something would happen, so he was assigned to watch over the granary for the next five days."

"My grass!"

Guo Ye naturally knew the style of shopkeeper Hu, and he was more cautious than Cui Yigui. This is a cunning and cunning old fox.

After scolding his mother, he looked at Zhang Jiujin with a wry smile and said, "Jiujin, did you see? Cui Yigui is not worried about the granary. It seems that your method of Li Daitao's stiffness and stealing is over. And, if This guy surnamed Hu is really squatting at the granary, and the delivery in five days is really hanging in the balance!"

Zhang Jiujin scratched the back of his head, and after a while, suddenly said: "My lord, I have a way to deal with this old guy surnamed Hu. I just don't know if it will work or not!"

Guo Ye couldn't help but lamented that there are experts in the world, Zhang Jiujin's IQ is really rising today, and he has frequent countermeasures.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand and asked: "I don't care if it's feasible or not, tell me your idea and listen, and I'll make a decision."

Chapter 832 The last night

Zhang Jiujin glanced at Guo Ye and suggested, "My lord, why don't you find a way to make this Shopkeeper Hu disappear tonight!"

As he spoke, Zhang Jiujin stretched out his right hand and stroked lightly on his neck, a throat-slitting motion.

After hearing this, Guo Ye immediately shook his head and refused, "No, absolutely no!"

In his opinion, Zhang Jiujin is not helping him to solve his problems?It's just messing around and coming up with bad ideas.

Although the surnamed Hu is only an old shopkeeper under Cui Yigui, he has won Cui Yigui's trust.

As long as shopkeeper Hu dies suddenly, wouldn't that be a reminder to Cui Yigui that he had hidden evil intentions?

At that time, not only will not receive the desired effect, but on the contrary, it will scare the snake away.After finally tricking Cui Yigui into the game, it can't be because of this incident that the final result falls short.

Oh shit!

Guo Ye gave Zhang Jiujin a hard look to express his dissatisfaction. Just now, he praised him for his rising IQ and great progress.Unexpectedly, at this time, I started to feel muddled again.

Obviously, Zhang Jiujin also felt Guo Ye's dissatisfaction, and after a sneering smile, he retreated behind Wang Bajin, and stopped making random ideas.

Wang Bajin saw that Zhang Jiujin's bad ideas caused Guo Ye's dissatisfaction, so he naturally didn't dare to make random suggestions, but reminded Guo Ye in a low voice: "Lord Inspector, if this surnamed Hu stays at the granary all day, you can Seeing the sky is watching there. If there is any change in us at that time, he will definitely find out at the first time, and then report to Cui Yigui."

Guo Ye nodded his head and said to himself: "Yes, it's really a mess in the middle of a busy schedule. There are still five days before all the money of Cui Yigui will be in place. It doesn't matter if the shopkeeper Hu is watching there these few days. As long as you are careful in what you say and do, there will be basically no major problems. What I am worried about is the last day. Because we have an appointment with the Salt Gang, and their ship will dock at night five days later to load the silver and leave .If shopkeeper Hu finds out about it while unloading silver onto the ship, there will definitely be a big mess.”

After Zhang Jiujin listened to Guo Ye's self-contained speech, his mouth itched and he suggested again: "My lord, why don't you ask Chen Juncheng to cooperate and inform Cui Yigui to change the delivery location to be delivered on the river. In this case, we will The money can be transported out of Yangzhou in an open and aboveboard manner. Cui Yigui is afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Qinghe family, and it will definitely not be convenient to come forward. If he lets Shopkeeper Hu accompany him, we will snap this old boy off the river where the money is being transported, how about it?"

Guo Ye raised his brows, and glanced at Zhang Jiujin unexpectedly. Since the incident of beating the Zhang family in Gujing Lane, this kid has always been decisive in killing and killing, and his hostility has become more and more serious.However, he had to admit that this time he was on point.

"Okay, listen to you, just do it!"

Guo Ye nodded and agreed, and then confessed to the two of them: "The last five days are the most critical five days, you must pay close attention to me, and don't make any mistakes. As for the old ghost surnamed Hu, for the time being Let him live for a few more days. During these five days, you must give me good food and drink, even if you make offerings like ancestors, you can't make him have the slightest doubt."

"Got it!"

Zhang Jiujin and Wang Bajin nodded one after another, then turned and left.

The next day, the Qinghe Cui family transferred money to Yangzhou.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day...

The silver came in one after another and entered the granary in batches one by one.

Until the fifth day, a total of 950 million taels of silver were all in place.

The final moment is coming, as long as tonight is over, the final closing operation will be carried out tomorrow.

That night, Chen Jitao couldn't sit still, Guo Ye couldn't calm down anymore, and even Cui Yigui panicked for no reason, and rushed from Yangzhou Bank to the warehouse in a hurry.

Cui Yigui rushed to the granary at the Ferry Wharf overnight. As soon as Guo Ye received a message from Zhang Jiujin, he immediately rushed to the wharf.

After arriving at the pier and entering the granary, he saw Cui Yigui leading shopkeeper Hu to patrol the granary, followed by Zhang Jiujin, Wang Bajin and others who followed closely.

Seeing Guo Ye's arrival, Cui Yigui greeted him with both apprehension and excitement on his face, and asked while rubbing his hands, "Wu Dong's family, the day before yesterday Chen Juncheng suddenly sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the place of delivery was changed to Jiangshang. Why do I feel a little guilty?"

Guo Ye's heart skipped a beat, and his brows were slightly frowned, but he remained calm, and asked softly, "Cui Dong's family, this should not be Chen Juncheng's idea. It's probably the idea of ​​the governor Guo, right? The governor surnamed Guo must be the idea. You don’t want people to know the deal between us and the government?”

Cui Yigui was taken aback, and asked in puzzlement, "Why? Could it be that Governor Guo has other ideas?"

Just as Guo Ye was about to find an excuse, the shopkeeper Hu who was next to Cui Yigui suddenly smiled and flattered Cui Yigui: "Boss, it's probably because Governor Guo doesn't want others to know the price tag of this Slender West Lake, right? He's an official for thousands of miles just for money, maybe He wants to make a fortune out of the 950 million taels of silver, and then lie to his superiors about another price?"

Guo Ye was full of joy, this shopkeeper Hu really came in time!

Immediately, he smiled and said to Cui Yigui: "Cui Dong's family, Shopkeeper Hu's guess is not bad at all. I heard Chen Juncheng said a little bit about this. Hehe, this Guo governor is not a good man and a faithful woman. I heard that he was an official in Longxi back then. At that time, he was a well-known money-gathering expert. Wherever he was in office, he scraped the land. But we can understand this. Which official doesn’t want to make some money these days? The officialdom is sinister and dirty. No wonder!"

After what Guo Ye and shopkeeper Hu said, the worry on Cui Yigui's face gradually faded away.

However, he still said a little worriedly: "For this delivery, Cui's identity is too embarrassing, and it's really inconvenient to come forward. But if I don't show up, I always feel a little guilty. Hey, say something that I'm not afraid of Wu Dong's jokes." , Cui has never done such a big thing in this life, I'm afraid, a little scared!"

Guo Ye's heart tightened suddenly. Could it be that Cui Yigui still wanted to personally participate in the delivery?No, absolutely not.

Immediately, he laughed heartily, pointed to shopkeeper Hu next to Cui Yigui, and said, "Dong Cui's family is a bit unfounded. Isn't shopkeeper Hu going to participate in the delivery on your behalf tomorrow? With shopkeeper Hu and me here, where will it come?" What's the matter? Could it be that Cui Dong's family can't trust Wu? Or are they worried about Shopkeeper Hu?"

"No no no!"

Seeing that Guo Ye misunderstood, Cui Yigui quickly explained: "Wu Dong's family is serious. Shopkeeper Hu has been with me for so many years, how can I not trust him? As for Wu Dong's family, you are too out of touch. You are also included in this money Isn’t it for your sake? Since you and I are cooperating, it’s natural to be honest with each other. How could Cui worry about you? Thinking too much, Dong Wu’s family really thinks too much.”

Call ~

Guo Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally passed by.

Immediately, he said to Cui Yigui: "Cui Dong's family, Wu and shopkeeper Hu will spend the night in the granary tonight. In the morning, he will lead his men to load the silver on the boat and trade it with the government on the river. What a mistake. As soon as the delivery is completed tomorrow, the Slender West Lake site will belong to Dong Cui and you. You can pay back your capital in five years, and you can make a lot of money in ten years. We will be rich like an enemy. Hehe, we will need to rely on Dong Cui at that time There are still many places. Shopkeeper Hu, don’t you think so?”

"what?"

Shopkeeper Hu glanced at Guo Ye gratefully. He thought that what the other party said was just to give himself a chance, a chance to make contributions in front of Cui Yigui.
