one step closer to the end

"That's good, that's good..."

The father and son breathed a sigh of relief again, and the prince asked, "That's right! When will the Pantao Festival open? Is it too late for us to do good deeds?"

"One day in the sky, one year on the ground! Immortals are used to laziness, and thieves slow down..."

Zhao Guanren smiled wryly and said: "Just tell me to eat for a few days, and their few days are our years, but don't worry, as long as you enshrine the immortal card, even if you die in battle, the Yuanshen will go to the Nantian Gate Wait, you will see us in three or two days!"

"Oh! This is great, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up..."

The four of them were completely limped by being fooled, but Zhao Guanren didn't mean to cheat them. It was better than any policy to lead them on the right path, but they couldn't be too radical, otherwise they would be messed up if they took too many steps.

"Hu Lingzhi! Come in..."

Zhao Guanren called the mother and daughter of the Hu family, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can do good deeds at any time. I think you should start with the Amnesty Teaching Music Workshop, and send them away. Those who are willing to stay are good artists. Give some money and send it back to the place of origin!"

"Yes! I will issue a decree tomorrow to amnesty the world..."

Emperor Shun Yao waved his big hand very happily, and the mother and daughter of the Hu family couldn't believe their ears. They knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed to thank Zhao Guanren three times in a row.

"My lord!"

Jin Wuming suddenly whispered: "I don't see anything wrong with the singing girl playing the jade flute at the back. She has been listening to us with her ears up all the time, and she is playing the tune out of tune!"

"Haha~"

Zhao Guanren knew that he was talking about the famous prostitute Dong Siyun, so he pretended to be casual and whispered: "I seem to know who she is, just look at me!"

Chapter 0509 Twins

"Your Majesty! I respectfully offer you a toast..."

Song Chizhu's fat face was flushed with excitement. He was only a seventh-rank sesame official a few months ago, and Bian and Xie's family dared to flirt with him. Now that he can sit at the same table with the emperor, he feels that the ancestral grave is about to burst into smoke. on fire.

"allow!"

The prince put down his wine glass and said: "Lao Jiu and I are about to go overseas to conquer the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but my Dashun soldiers are not good at naval warfare, and the warships of the navy are also in disrepair. It may not be easy to land. Countermeasures?"

"Let's build a gunboat! Soft sail and iron-clad gunship, I've drawn all the blueprints for you..."

Zhao Guanren said with a relaxed smile: "Don't be in a hurry to go to sea. When you get to the sea, you should practice the navy first, and then fund the Thai people's rebellion. The small ones will be given money first, and the large ones will be given armaments, and then rewards will be issued for the heads of generals at all levels. One for 5000 taels!"

"That's right! This plan is very clever, why didn't we think of it..."

The prince's eyes lit up suddenly, but Prince Duan spread his hands and said in mourning: "It's a good way to say it, but where can we go to raise money? It's so tight!"

"Haha~"

Zhao Guanren laughed and said: "You have raised so many moths, you will go to hell if you don't eat up the national treasury, let's not talk about the far ones, guess how much money I copied at Mr. Tian's house?"

"It must be a lot..."

Emperor Shun Yao said angrily: "The dead eunuch must have been greedy all these years, and even stole a lot of treasures from the treasure house. I estimate that there are more than 100 million taels of silver in his courtyard. It is not uncommon to exceed 300 million taels!"

"Old Song! You report a real number to the emperor..."

Zhao Guanren ate a mouthful of food with a smile, and Song Chizhu hurriedly said, "Report to the emperor! There are many treasures and fields, and the exact amount is still being estimated, but as far as the current situation is concerned, I estimate that there will be 700 million taels, which is more than 2000 taels of silver." It's possible even if it's two thousand!"

"How many?"

The two princes jumped up suddenly, their eyeballs stared round and round, and the wine glass in Emperor Shun Yao's hand fell to the ground, and they couldn't close their mouths.

"Your Majesty! Do you know how big a moth you have raised..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head and said: "The old eunuch's treasury is supported by twelve pillars, one of which can be embraced by two people, each of which is made of solid sterling silver, Dashun's annual income was only over 6000 million taels last year, and he swallowed nearly Small half of the national treasury, I didn't let you kill this person by mistake, did I?"

"Sigh~"

The two princes took a breath at the same time, and suddenly felt how poor they were as princes, and they couldn't compare to an old eunuch.

"Ah~ Yunxuan..."

Emperor Shun Yao held his head and mourned: "You have helped me find out so many demons and ghosts. My Dashun is so corrupt. I can't absolve myself of the blame, I can't absolve myself of the blame!"

"Your Majesty! You don't have to sigh, I don't want a tael of money..."

Zhao Guanren took out all the banknotes in his arms, and even put the big seal of the bank on the table, and said: "In war, money is what is fought. In Kyrgyzstan, let's talk about it first, and take precautions as a supplement. In Thailand, we will directly attack it." Mainly, supplemented by intimidation, these things are indispensable for money!"

"I'll give you everything I've said, how can you go back on your word..."

Emperor Shun Yao waved his hands again and again, but Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "I can't spend that much money, besides, I took away all the rare treasures, and I also picked a few nice houses and fields. Those women in my family are enough to spend." , take the rest and prepare for the battle!"

"Father!"

Prince Duan said excitedly: "If we have more than 1000 million taels of silver, we are sure that the Thai thieves will destroy the country, so you can accept it. Yunxuan doesn't care about it at all, and we have to use money to help the common people." !"

"The cost of destroying the country is too high, and the gains outweigh the losses..."

Zhao Guanren raised his voice and said: "If they are willing to pay a large sum of money, send a few concubines to concubines, and send two princes to be hostages, we don't have to waste money and people, but I need at least two princesses, I have to let them The son's surname is Chiba!"

"Hahaha……"

The father and son all laughed, only they understood the stalk, but Jin Wuming suddenly cursed a foreign language, only to see Dong Ming prostitute subconsciously knelt down and shouted something in the same language, but after shouting She turned pale in horror.

"Damn it! It really is a Thai thief..."

Jin Wuming pulled out his waist knife suddenly, and slashed forward with a burst of knife light, but a cloud of white smoke burst out from under the skirt of the courtesan Dong, covering the entire singing and dancing room with a "bang", frightening the geisha. They all yelled, and Jin Wuming slashed through the air with a single knife.

"She jumped out of the window!"

Zhao Guanren rushed to the window, only to see Dong Mingju leaped out of the wall very quickly, and shot into a small boat on the lake like lightning. middle.

"Block Pingyao Lake and catch the Thai thief Dong Siyun..."

Jin Wuming lay on the window and yelled, the guards outside and field guards immediately dispatched, and the imperial guards also rushed in, pushing all the geisha to the ground.

"The two of them have nothing to do with each other! Just wait outside the door..."

Zhao Guanren dragged the mother and daughter of the Hu family over, and the crown prince slapped the table angrily and cursed: "Damn it! Go and ask the Jingdu guards, how did you investigate the secret agents? The four famous prostitutes are actually Thai thieves. People should check it carefully, there must be Thai thieves!"

"Tell them! Don't abuse lynching, I will supervise..."

Zhao Guanren hastily added, and after all the people had been escorted out, Emperor Shunyao asked in surprise, "No life! How did you find the flaw?"

"It's not me! Prince Zhao recognizes her..."

Jin Wuming put away his knife and came back. Zhao Guanren smiled and said, "This girl is an onmyoji I met in Lantai. Although she was covering her face at the time, I was impressed by her big eyes, so I deliberately let the old man Jin let her go and let her go back to report to the King of Thailand!"

"Why?"

Several people don't understand.

"Don't look at Taiping Heavenly Elementary School..."

Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "Actually, their fighting power is very strong, and their cohesion is also very high. They may not be able to defeat them with all the strength of the whole country, so it is best to scare them, scaring them to lose money and people, and then use their money to trade. Fight, and subdue the enemy without fighting!"

"Hehe~"

Prince Duan gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "As far as strategy is concerned, you are still a chicken thief. If you can really defeat others without fighting, we don't want to kill in vain!"

"Your Majesty! I want [-] elite soldiers, and the frontier troops who are familiar with the Kyrgyz country are the best..."

Zhao Guanren clasped his hands and said: "It seems that the Chinese New Year will be over a month away. I plan to go to Jiguo after the [-]th day of the first lunar month. Zhang Tiansheng, who was carrying the corpse poison, has not been found yet. I am afraid that he will be captured by Jiguo, or fall into danger." In the hands of Thailand, this person may be the source of the disaster!"

"as you wish!"

Emperor Shunyao said with arrogance: "I will go to the border in person in the future and celebrate the new year with all the soldiers at the border. At that time, I will have 50 soldiers and advance and retreat with you at the border. If the thief dares to play on your head Hua Hua, I will use all the strength of the whole country to crusade against you!"

"Okay! Then let's advance and retreat together..."

Zhao Guanren was very satisfied and thanked them. He sat down to eat and drink with a few people for a while, and then took Song Chizhu downstairs first, and he also brought out the mother and daughter of the Hu family.

"Humble job has seen King Zhao!"

Commander Duan of the Weichang walked over to salute, and the entire Jiaoyuefang was restrained. The people who touched the row were lined up to be scolded. He also had a tired expression on his face, but he was used to where Zhao Guanren went. , where something big happened.

"Old Song! Has any of you Dong Ming prostitutes played before..."

Zhao Guanren stopped with his hands behind his back, and Song Chizhu said in a low voice: "Who doesn't play with her? Prince Duan and the crown prince have all played with her, but they just pretended not to know each other in front of the emperor. I also tried it a few days ago, but it's just a matter of time." That way, it's as boring as a dead fish!"

"Commander Duan! I'll give you a clue..."

Zhao Guanren said: "Dong Siyun is an onmyoji, and she may be twins with the real Dong Siyun, because the one who ran away just now had unfurled brows and tight buttocks, and was obviously a virgin. Maybe you can find another Dong Siyun." Si Yun is here!"

"what?"

Commander Duan looked at him in surprise, but Song Chizhu slapped his hands and said, "Twins make sense. It takes at least half a month's journey from the capital to Lantai. In a few years, it is impossible to leave for more than ten days without anyone knowing!"

"Thank you, my lord! I'll go check it out now..."

Commander Duan quickly ran away with his people, and Song Zhizhu saw that the people from the etiquette department also came, so he had no choice but to go to work with him.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Guanren led the Hu family's mother and daughter out the back door, came to the river and asked, "What are your plans? Hu Xiancheng, I have been buried in Biyanggang, Lantai. If you want to return to your hometown, I can send someone to see you off." You go back, and I will give you a few hundred taels more!"

"Thank you, sir, for saving my life..."

The mother and daughter suddenly knelt down in unison, and the wife of the Hu family cried and said: "My lord! You saved my mother and daughter from the fire and water regardless of the past, and buried my dead husband well. I can't repay you. If your lord doesn't dislike me, My mother and daughter are willing to serve for the rest of our lives!"

"Mother and daughter, I can't stand it, uh~ that's not what it means..."

Zhao Guanren hastily helped them both up, and said: "I know that you didn't expect to find anything when you first came out, so you might as well follow me back to the palace until the Chinese New Year. It's not too late to tell me, okay?"

"Thank you for taking me in!"

The mother and daughter agreed pitifully, and followed him to the wooden bridge. The Zhao family's family's painting boat had already been waiting by the bridge, but as soon as he walked on the bridge, he realized that something was wrong. A boat full of women unexpectedly There was no sound at all, and there was a strong smell of kerosene.

"Oops!"

Zhao Guanren stopped abruptly, only to see a woman suddenly appearing on the bow, holding a lighter wet all over, it was Dong Siyun who had just escaped, and she said sharply: "Get out! Otherwise, I will give you a whole boatload of wives and concubines." Funeral!"

"what!"

The mother and daughter of the Hu family exclaimed in shock, but Zhao Guanren stepped forward unhurriedly, and said with a smile, "If you have something to say, talk about it, you and I can take a bath in a boiling water pot—we are acquaintances! What are your demands?" How about you say, I can send your sisters away from Beijing?"

"Hmph~ Your nose is indeed sharper than a dog..."

Dong Siyun said angrily: "Dog officer! Tell your people to bring my sister out, and you also come on the boat and personally escort us out of the city. If you dare to play tricks, I will die with you!"

"Ganoderma lucidum! Go in and find Commander Duan, and bring out the real Dong Siyun..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hand with a smile, then jumped onto the bow of the boat, looked at all the wives and concubines who were stunned in the cabin, and said with a smile: "Put away the lighter, little girl, don't play with fire, play with fire and pee your pants, I I have always kept my word, and I will definitely do it when I say I will send you out!"

"Don't give me a hippie smile, they will be gone as soon as I move my hand..."

Dong Siyun cautiously took a few steps back, and a large group of people soon flooded out of the teaching music room, including Emperor Shun Yao and others. Sure enough, another Dong Siyun was found. Commander Duan He personally tied her up and carried her to the bridge angrily.

"It's okay! Throw it up and give it to me..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and waved. Commander Duan looked at Emperor Shunyao hesitantly. Emperor Shunyao nodded before he carried him onto the bridge, but Zhao Guanren spread his hands and smiled again: "Miss Dong! Did you forget to leave A boatman, I can't row a boat!"

"Puff~"

Dong Siyun kicked a bundle of rope and said loudly: "Ask the mother and daughter of the Hu family to come up and row the boat, and then tie this dog officer up for me!"

Chapter 0510 The Hypocrite

"Life is short, hurry up, don't give up until you get drunk, my beauty in the east, the Yellow River in the west..."

Zhao Guanren sat on the stern of the boat and sang gracefully. Unfortunately, his hands and feet were tied, and there were still a large number of official boats following behind. The mother and daughter of the Hu family were rowing the boat awkwardly. One Dong Siyun was controlling the direction, and the other was holding a lighter. Eyeing.

"Stop singing! Shut up..."

Da Dong shouted angrily, Xiao Dong looked around anxiously, Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "The long night must give me some entertainment, and the hostages must also be taken care of, tell me your real names, such as Chiba, Matsushita, etc. , Honda, Kato, Ozawa or Aoi?"

"I won't tell you, dog officer..."

Da Dong glared at him angrily, Zhao Guanren sat up straight and said, "Little Dong! Dong Siyun, come here, I have a pack of cigarettes in my belt, light one for me, otherwise I can't keep my mouth shut, I have to Something is blocking it!"

"Watch out for fire!"

Da Dong whispered that the Pingyao River was very long, and he would not be able to get out of the city for an hour or so, so Xiao Dong had to get up and squat beside Zhao Guanren, but Zhao Guanren frowned and said, "Who taught you the rules, big and small are respectful." Can't tell the difference?"

"Ah! My lord, I'm sorry..."

Xiao Dong hurriedly knelt beside him, carefully dug out the cigarette and lighter, skillfully and considerately lit the cigarette, Zhao Guanren stretched out his head and kissed her on the mouth again, Xiao Dong smiled shyly and instinctively helped him Pressed and rubbed his thighs.

"Are you crazy? This is not the Jiaoyuefang, he is our meat ticket now..."

Da Dong glared at her sister angrily, but Zhao Guanren suddenly spread his hands from behind and hugged Xiao Dong in his arms. , lying in his arms flushed anxiously.

"Let her go, or I will die with you..."

Da Dong jumped up anxiously with a pale face, but Zhao Guanren took out a box of matches from his waist, lighted one without haste, and said with a smile: "You don't need to do it, let's go on the road together now! "
