"Ah?" Bingwen was stunned by Xia Chu's words.
"Lu Mingxi was afraid that once he went through the official road, the disaster relief silver would be exploited at all levels, and there might not be much left in Jiangcheng. So he asked the Anfeng Escort Bureau to escort him and changed the water route. After the official silver was lost, Lu Mingxi knew that he It’s over. I have some backbone, and I didn’t tell anyone about Anfeng Escort Agency. I was afraid that their innocence would be implicated.”
"Then why didn't Anfeng Escort Bureau come out to clarify?" It turned out that Lu Mingxi was still a good officer, and Bingwen couldn't bear to ask when he thought of his current desolation.
"It's useless, the implication is too great. Just a bodyguard agency can't argue with anyone. They have done their best to be benevolent and are willing to spend 500,000 taels to protect the lives of Lu Mingxi's family. Do you know who actually intercepted the official silver?"
"Yes, the escort is not a pirate, so who are the pirates?"
Xia Chu sighed, looked at Bingwen and said, "The navy from Jiangzhou is pretending."
In the previous life, this matter went wrong three years later when Zhu Chenlin was refinancing official banknotes, and was investigated. Yinzhi told Xiao Yanjun, but was suppressed. Because Zhu Chenlin was promoted by Prime Minister Du Hanfei, Xiao Yanjun didn't want to quarrel with him, so he sold a favor, which was considered a weakness. Yin Zhi was very angry when she found out, and told her the whole story while drinking with Xia Chu.
Xia Chu felt that things in this world were really cyclical. In this life, it was him who told Yin Zhi.
Bingwen was shocked after hearing Xia Chu's words. He knew that Zhu Chenlin was Du Hanfei's man, but he didn't know that Zhu Chenlin was so courageous.
"Did Du Hanfei participate in this matter?" Bingwen was a little excited.
"He must have known about it, and the money was collected." Xia Chu saw the brilliance in Bingwen's eyes, patted his hand and continued: "But it is useless to try to drag him into trouble based on this matter. Don't worry, this kind of fate is too light. No matter what, let him fill the prime minister's house and be buried with your family."
Bingwen's eyes brightened and darkened, darkened and brightened again. After listening to Xia Chu's words, a strange light burst out again, and after a long time, it slowly returned to calm.
"Yes, I was too hasty." Bingwen took a sip of tea and apologized.
Seeing that he had regained his senses, Xia Chu continued, "Go and ask Qiu Zhiting for one million taels, plus a token of Lu Mingxi's."
"I'm afraid I can't get out one million taels..." Bingwen couldn't bear Lu Mingxi's fate, and also wondered if Xia Chu didn't look like someone who added insult to injury.
"It doesn't matter if you can't get it out. The remaining 500,000 taels will be converted into 20% of their escort agency's annual profit." Xia Chu saw Bingwen hesitate to speak, and made a gesture to him to indicate that he wanted to hear what he had to say.
"A banknote of five hundred thousand taels, 20% of the annual profit, the seal of the escort agency, and Lu Mingxi's token. With these, I will help him reverse the case. And I will send Lu Mingxi to the position of governor of Jiangzhou." Xia Chu smiled. , came up to Bingwen and said: "Ask them, 20% of the annual profit. They bought the reputation of the escort agency in the future and sold such a big favor to Jiangzhou Governor Lu Mingxi. Is this deal a good deal?"
Bingwen had just regained his calm expression, but he was a little frightened again. He felt that if he stayed with Xia Chu for a longer time, the days to come would be different. Maybe, nothing would surprise him anymore.
He nodded dully.
When Xia Chu saw him nodding, he stood up and left without further delay.
After leaving the house, he signaled to Su Qian'an who was guarding outside, and the two flew back home.
After returning to Yunqiyuan, Xia Chu asked Su Qian'an to rest first, then he went to a rather hidden corner and called out.
Bian Ding lowered his head and was about to kneel down, but after thinking about it, he changed it to raising his hands and bowing, and called out: "Young Master."
Xia Chu didn't talk nonsense to him and directly ordered: "Find someone to go to Jiangcheng and escort a naval officer named Cai Wenyong to the capital. In addition, there is a bronze mirror on the dressing cabinet of his aunt in the eighth room. Behind the bronze mirror I’ve got a souvenir in my folder. Be sure to find it and send it back first.”
"Yes." Bian Ding accepted the order. Then disappeared...
When he woke up the next day, Xia Chu went to Suyuan first, asked the maid to take the four treasures of the study, and then dismissed everyone.
Su Qianle looked at him with a confused expression.
"I said, you write." Xia Chu said in a concise and concise manner while grinding.
Qian Le nodded and took down a notebook to write down a fluent and precise essay.
Xia Chu dried up his pen and ink and praised Su Qianle with satisfaction.
Su Qianle said happily: "It's good if I can help the young master. You can just follow the young master's orders in the future."
Xia Chu nodded and left.
In the evening, Su Qian'an returned home to find Xia Chu. He handed over Bingwen's certificate. There was a hundred thousand taels of silver notes sandwiched inside, and the fold stated that Anfeng Escort had agreed to the conditions. Attached is a deposit of one hundred thousand taels, the seal of Anfeng Escort Bureau, and Lu Mingxi's token. The other 400,000 taels of silver notes and the two-year profit contract for the Anfeng Escort Agency were handed over with both hands after completion.
Xia Chu glanced at the seal and another object, which was a moon-shaped wooden pendant with the word "Xi" engraved on the back.
Xia Chu thought about it for a while. Everything of value in this prison had been taken away long ago. How could it be kept? It was only because the wood was worthless that Lu Mingxi took it out as a token.
Xia Chu burned the folds and put away the seals and pendants. He handed the banknote and the letter written by Su Qianle to Su Qian'an.
"From now on, you only need to hand over the token. Let Bingwen keep the banknote himself. I will get it from him if needed. And this letter of petition, you ask him to give it to Qiu Zhiting to make a copy and then burn it. . Then let Qiu Zhiting go to Dali Temple with the written document and Rishenshi. In addition, prepare the handwritten contract that Lu Mingxi asked Anfeng Escort to escort the silver coins. Don’t rush to hand it over now, wait for my instructions. "
Su Qian'an took the order and went to do something, and Xia Chu left the house and went to Hengwu Courtyard to find the Marquis.
