Poor Family Chapter 500

  Chapter 500 Temporary tasks

On the way back from the Pan Mansion, Li Yanqing was still reminiscing about the victory of the Pan Mansion. Although the pot and arrow competition itself was not a brilliant record for him, he was looking forward to the final result, especially the Cao family. The unanimous support for himself made him feel as if he had found something.

After the turmoil in the Wang family completely subsides, is it necessary for him to invite his father to the Cao family to propose marriage? He really likes Cao Yun very much. His beautiful face, gentle and quiet personality, everything makes his heart flutter. After a few contacts, he I feel that Cao Yun is my long-awaited wife.

Li Yanqing looked at the seven-star sword in his hand again. This is the second time Cao Xing gave this sword to himself. The first time was in the Lianggong Weaponry Mansion. That time he had a feverish mind, but he quickly regretted it. , and this time he was willing to give the sword to himself. Of course, Li Yanqing knew Cao Ping's trust and sincerity in him.

Li Yanqing gently pulled out the sword from the scabbard, only to feel that the cold air was overwhelming. It was indeed an extremely sharp sword, with seven ancient gemstones inlaid on the hilt. The missing handwriting 'Jing', which used to be the sword of Emperor Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty, made him think of the wordless 'Great Ancestor Plaque' in Li's ancestral hall. Is there a kind of providence in the dark?

  When the ox cart approached Yunqi Bridge, Zhang Hu and Yang Guang appeared by the car window. Zhang Hu reported to Li Yanqing: "The humble job has been negotiated with the black man."

  Hei Han is of course just a nickname. This man is the largest weapon dealer in the black market in the capital. He was brought together by a man introduced by Li Dongdong, and Zhang Hu was in charge of trading with him.

   "What price is he offering?"

   "Reporting to the censor, he agreed to give us the lowest price, 18 spears each, 10 swords each, and 5 shields, which are half cheaper than buying them alone. They are guaranteed to be standard weapons."

   "At this price, the Armed Forces Supervisor can't even recover the original cost."

  Of course Li Yanqing knows that black market weapons are almost a no-cost business. He earns ten times the huge profits at the risk of decapitation, and half the price to himself is also five times the huge profits.

  He sneered and asked again: "Do you have a thousand spears?"

   "They can only provide up to 500 spears, and 500 swords and 500 shields for others."

  Li Yanqing calculated that it would cost 16,500 guan, which is also a very large number, and he asked again: "Can it be delivered to the designated place?"

   "The humble job has discussed with him, and it can be sent to other places in the capital for free, but they will charge another 1,000 yuan for sending it into the city. They need to deal with tax collectors."

   "Then when can the delivery be delivered?"

   "Their goods are just outside the city, as long as they give money, they can deliver them at any time, and they agree to pay."

  Li Yanqing asked Yang Guang again, "Is the house rented?"

Yang Guang quickly said: "Reporting to the censor, I have already rented it. It is the previously designated place. The Bianhe River is behind. I have rented two warehouses. The back door leads to the Bianhe River. The front is next to the Tang family's gold and silver shop. There is a very narrow road. The alleys can go to the streets."

Li Yanqing immediately said to Zhang Hu: "I will give you the money tomorrow, and I will order the goods you just mentioned, five hundred pieces for each of the three items, and let them deliver the goods to the rented room, and try to get things done before night falls." Done."

   "Humble post obeys orders!"

Zhang Hu and Yang Guang left quickly. Li Yanqing still felt a little pained thinking about it. It would cost more than 17,000 yuan. Such a large price was enough to buy off a top killer, but Li Yanqing needed He is willing to use his method to eradicate Song Jiang, even if it costs more than 10,000 yuan.

Early the next morning, Li Yanqing arrived at the Military Prison in a bullock cart as usual. He got out of the bullock cart in the yard, and immediately discovered that the Military Prison today was different from usual. There were actually six sentinels standing on the steps. Usually, there are no guards, and anyone can come in and out at will. Why are there sentries today?

   "Li Yushi!"

  Qin Hui who was standing at the door saw Li Yanqing, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "There are guards today, I am afraid they are not familiar with the people in the military prison, so I am here to welcome them."

  Speaking of this, Qin Hui handed a silver plate to Li Yanqing, "This is Li Yushi's plate, and you can enter as you like after showing it."

Li Yanqing took the sign and saw the words 'Military Supervision Office' engraved on the front of the sign, and his title name on the back: 'Li Yanqing, the censor', "This is also just engraved!" Li Yanqing laughed. .

   "The official department sent someone to deliver it early this morning."

   "Could it be that there will be changes in the Military Supervision Office?"

"There has indeed been a change. The 500,000 guan office money has been approved. I will purchase all the items today. You don't need to use the old desks and cabinets. In addition, Fan Xiangguo is coming in the morning and said that he has something important to do. Announce that I hope that Li Yushi will summon all the people in Yushitai as soon as possible."

  Qin Hui's last request made Li Yanqing a little dizzy. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, everyone is rather lax. Many people may not come today. Where can he find someone?

  Qin Hui saw Li Yanqing's embarrassment, and quickly said: "Try your best! Just don't look too ugly when Fan Xianggong comes over."

"I see!"

Li Yanqing walked into the gate of the military prison quickly. Since the official money had just been approved, Qin Hui hadn't had time to buy office supplies. The room was still the same as before. Li Yanqing sat down in his seat, and Brother Qing hurriedly Serving him a cup of tea, Li Yanqing smiled at him and said, "You go to the Yushi Terrace, find both Zheng Yushi and Zhang Yushi, and say that there is something to do here today."

Zheng Yushi and Zhang Yushi are Li Yanqing's two deputies, both of whom are supervisory censors. At the end of the year, Yushitai was too busy, so they were called back. The other five are currently only Mo Jun and Liu Fang in the official room. The employee asked for leave to go back to his hometown to worship the ancestors, and there is another employee who doesn't know if he will come today?

  Brother Ying rushed to Yushitai to find someone. At this moment, Mo Jun came over and said with a smile, "I heard that Fan Xiangguo has something important to announce today."

   "Yes! Master Qin also told me just now, what is it?"

Mo Jun whispered: "I came early today and met Li Hui. I heard from him that the emperor asked about the military prison office yesterday afternoon, but when he learned that the military prison office had not started operating, the emperor was furious and sent several prime ministers Zhao went to scold me, so many things were temporarily decided yesterday afternoon."

  Li Yanqing snorted, "Every time something like this comes to an end, you only get anxious. It's the same when the commander-in-chief went out to call the army last time. If you don't force it, there will be no result."

  Speaking of the army, Li Yanqing quickly asked again: "Is there any news about the thousand troops?"

   "It seems that Li Hui didn't mention this matter. It is said that the six guards at the gate were temporarily transferred from the Menxia Province. They are not our official guards. I guess the army is not enough."

  Li Yanqing didn't hold out much hope either. Matters involving the army were never quick. Moreover, the military prison is an official office after all, and the army is not important.

An hour later, Fan Zhixu hurried into the gate of the Military Prison surrounded by several entourages. It is embarrassing to say that since the establishment of the Military Prison, this is the second time Fan Zhixu has entered the gate of the Military Prison. Once it was established, and the second time is today.

Everyone was already waiting for his arrival in the conference hall on the first floor, but there were not all the officials. There were a total of 24 people from the three divisions, including the master, there should be 25 people in total, but only half of them actually came. But all the main officials came, including Li Yanqing from Yushitai, Li Hui from the Privy Council, and Jiang Ying from the Ministry of War.

Fan Zhixu's expression was very serious, he didn't care about the incomplete number of people, and straight to the point, he said to everyone: "I think some officials must have known what happened yesterday, and the officials are very angry that the military prison is not in operation yet. The reason is that it was decided ten days ago. A military barn below the mansion caught fire, and it was recorded in the account books that there should be eight thousand shi of military rations, but after the fire was extinguished, it was found that there was not a single official ration in it. Ask the Military Supervision Office to go to Hebei immediately to thoroughly investigate the situation of war preparations, but the Military Supervision Office is still not in operation, so Longyan is furious!"

   Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Could it be that they are going to be busy when the Chinese New Year is approaching?

"I also know that the New Year is less than ten days away, but the government requires the military supervision office to produce a supervision report within one month, so everyone, I can only say sorry, this year may make everyone have a hard time. "

   "Excuse me, Mr. Fan, are we going to join Hebei?" Li Hui asked.

Fan Zhixu nodded, "The government only gives you one month, so you only have twenty days. There are dozens of military warehouses under Hebei Road, and it's too late to go alone, so I plan to divide into three teams, Yushi Taiwan will go to Chazhending Mansion, the Privy Council will check the three prefectures of Bao, Ding, and Xiong, and the Ministry of War will go to Chahejian Mansion. We will set off tomorrow morning, and we must come before the tenth day of the first lunar month, and give Qin Lord Bo ten days to sort out and write a report."

  At this time, Li Yanqing asked: "What if you can go to monitor and need the army?"

   "I have already thought of this for you. The third division is not doing well, and the army will be transferred later. I will ask you three silver medals from the Privy Council for dispatching troops. You can go to the states to transfer 300 soldiers to serve as your supervisory army."

After finishing speaking, Fan Zhixu glanced at everyone again, and asked, "What's the problem? If there is no problem, go back and prepare! In addition, each team will be allocated 5,000 yuan for the monitoring fee. Qin Zhubo will transfer the silver medal and The meeting will be handed over to you."

  Li Yanqing felt dizzy for a while. At this critical moment, he had to go north to Zhending Mansion. He only had one day left for today.
