Song Tian, the deputy commander of the Jin Wei Mansion, had just arrived in Chengdu, and he was sent to Chengdu overnight to learn more about the situation after Guo Song learned of the fierce power struggle in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

He had just arrived at the Chengdu Ping'an Inn, and Guo Song's eagle letter also arrived at the same time.

Their intelligence points were originally in the Gaosheng Inn in various places, but it was too risky to concentrate in the same inn like this, and various places began to disperse the risk and moved the intelligence points from the Gaosheng Inn one after another.

The Chengdu Intelligence Station was transferred from the Gaosheng Inn to the Ping An Inn, which was actually the asset of the Li Ang family, but it was only a few turns, and the investment was relatively hidden.

Ping An Inn is located near Nancheng, far away from the original Gaosheng Inn, with the commercial depression in Chengdu, these months, Ping An Inn basically has no guests.

As soon as Song Tian sat down, Yang Xiuying, the leader of the intelligence station, sent a secret order from King Jin, which was a pigeon letter he had just received, a red letter, indicating that it was very important.

Song Tian opened the pigeon letter and read it carefully, and he asked Yang Xiuying: "Is there a way to contact Huo Xianming for me?" ”

Yang Xiuying thought for a while and said, "I heard that Huo Xianming also has a house in the city, and he sometimes comes back to live for a few days, let me inquire where the house is?" As long as the commander reports the name sticker, I think Huo Xianming will naturally receive it. ”

Song Tian nodded, "It's best to find this mansion for me today and tomorrow." ”

...........

At dusk, Song Tian came to a large mansion in Daozheng Fang, which was Huo Xianming's private residence in Chengdu, although he spent most of his time in the palace, but every once in a while, he would come to this private residence to stay overnight.

The hearts of all eunuchs aspire to live like ordinary people, marry wives and have children, have children and grandchildren, and enjoy family fun.

This is also the reason why the eunuchs in power in all dynasties accepted a large number of fake children and grandchildren, but the fake ones are fake after all, and the happy life of family is destined to have nothing to do with the eunuchs.

Huo Xianming bought a mansion here, more or less to make up for some regret in his heart.

The front of the gate was deserted, and there were no soldiers standing guard, indicating that Huo Xianming was not in the mansion at this time, Song Tian walked up the steps and knocked on the door knocker hard, and after a while, the small door next to him creaked open, revealing a pair of impatient eyes.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for the chief steward of your house,"

"Who are you?"

"Don't care who I am, hurry up and report it, and be careful to lose your head if you make a mistake."

"Yo! Ye is really not afraid of evil, what if I don't report it? ”

With that, the porter slammed the door shut.

Song Tian sneered, raised his voice and said, "Tell Huo Xianming that I have already come, don't come to beg me again in the future!" ”

He turned around and left, and after a few steps, the door opened again, and the porter came out with a smile on his face, "This master stays!" ”

"What are you doing here? Didn't you just say that you are not afraid of evil? ”

"Just now.... I just didn't know just now, don't you mind, I'll report for your old man right away, you wait a while. ”

After saying that, the porter turned around and ran wildly towards the mansion.

Although the porter didn't know who Song Tian was, he was not stupid at all, no one in Chengdu City dared to call Xian Weng by his name, not even Xiang Guo, unless he was tired of being alive, this person obviously didn't look like he was tired, and it was very likely that he was really someone he couldn't afford to mess with.

Not long after, the chief steward of the mansion also hurried over, and when he heard the report, he was also surprised in his heart, he dared to call the name of the immortal, who is this?

The chief steward looked Song Tian up and down, he had never seen it, he asked tentatively: "Here is the chief steward of the house, may I ask if this brother is looking for my master?" ”

"If your master is Huo Xianming, then I am looking for him."

The chief steward was even more suspicious, and asked, "What is the name of the gentleman?" ”

"Is he in the house?"

The chief steward shook his head, "He won't be here during this time, but if it's an important guest, maybe he'll rush back." ”

Song Tian took out a greeting note from his arms and handed it to the other party, writing his name face down, obviously not wanting the porter next to him to probe his brain to see it.

The chief steward took the post, turned around and glared at the porter, who was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.

Only then did the chief steward look at the name on it, 'Song Tian, the envoy of the King of the Tang Dynasty.' ’

The chief steward was suddenly startled, it turned out to be the envoy of King Jin, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there any other proof?" ”

Song Tian took out a gold medal and shook it in front of the chief steward, although he didn't see what was written on it? But the gold medal itself has great credibility.

The chief steward hurriedly said: "Please ask Song Yuanjun to come into the mansion and sit down for a while, and I will go and inform the master!" ”

Song Tian was invited to sit down in the Guike Hall, the chief steward arranged for the maid to serve tea, and he personally rode to the palace to find Huo Xianming.

.........

Half an hour later, night had fallen, at this time, a carriage under the escort of a hundred cavalry came galloping, stopped in front of the mansion, Huo Xianming, wearing a white fox fur cloak, came out of the carriage, his face was solemn, and he hurried towards the mansion without saying a word.

Although the porter couldn't see the master's face, the master rushed back in person and entered the house in such a hurry, which showed that this person was really important, and he was secretly glad that he didn't really offend this person, otherwise he might really lose his head.

Huo Xianming hurriedly came to the Guike Hall, he was really surprised in his heart, what did Guo Song send a messenger to find him?

Walking into the lobby, I saw a middle-aged man sitting in the guest seat drinking tea, Huo Xianming laughed dryly and said, "Old man Huo Xianming, may I ask your Excellency?" ”

Song Tian got up and said: "In the lower Song Moyang, the envoy of the Jin State to visit Hanzhong in the political platform of the Jin State came to visit Lieutenant Huo on the order of the King of Jin!" ”

Of course, Song Tian will not say that he is the head of the Jinwei Mansion, he uses another identity, this name and identity have been recorded in Suzhengtai, and Song Tian is the same person.

After speaking, he put the gold medal of the visiting envoy on the table, Huo Xianming glanced at it, and asked, "Since it is His Royal Highness the King of Jin looking for me, isn't there a handwritten letter?" ”

"There is a handwritten letter, I am on the way to Chengdu, I received a pigeon letter from King Jin, so come over to talk about it first, if there is a possibility of cooperation between the two sides, I will hand over His Royal Highness King Jin's cronies to Lieutenant Huo in a few days."

Huo Xianming took a sip of the teacup, and asked unhurriedly: "Does His Royal Highness King Jin plan to cooperate for a long time, or for a one-time cooperation." ”

"This is a one-time cooperation, and I actually want to make a deal with Lieutenant Huo."

"Deal?"

Huo Xianming smiled and said: "When I first met King Jin in Qingxu Palace, he had just come back from Anxi, and he made a deal with me, but I didn't expect that after nearly twenty years, King Jin was going to trade with me again, let's talk about it, I'm very interested." ”

"Song Chaofeng has a lot of wealth, and now under our control, we can transfer this wealth to Lieutenant Huo's name."

Hearing that it was Song Chaofeng's wealth, Huo Xianming's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "What about the conditions?" ”

"The conditions are very simple, put Dong Jin, Lu Zhen and Guo Shu back to Chang'an with their families, and Hun Ying's family members will also be released."

Huo Xianming nodded, no wonder Guo Song wanted to make this deal, once it was done, he would gain a great reputation, but Huo Xianming was not interested in this, he was more concerned about how much money Song Chaofeng left for himself.

"It's not an easy deal! I don't know what the price offered by His Royal Highness King Jin? ”

In fact, this matter is just Huo Xianming's words, how could Ju Wenzhen not give him face, but if he wants to say it beautifully, he has spent a lot of effort, and the price of this transaction is not low.

Song Tian took out a list and handed it to him, "Lieutenant Huo, please take a look!" ”

Huo Xianming took the list and looked at it carefully, his long eyebrows couldn't help but tremble a few times, "One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, one hundred thousand taels of gold." ’

He almost suspected that he had seen it wrong, did Guo Song want to give himself such a big fortune?

He glanced at Song Tian again, and said slowly: "King Jin showed such great sincerity, it's not just as simple as three people!" ”

Song Tian said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin also hopes that the officials in Chengdu can return to Chang'an freely and not hinder them. ”

Huo Xianming nodded, "I can accept this transaction, but I want to see King Jin's handwritten letter, and then see gold and silver with my own eyes, if these two conditions are met, I will naturally fulfill the transaction." ”

.........

Five days later, a gorgeous carriage was parked in front of the Baoyuan Cabinet Workshop, Huo Xianming stepped down from the carriage, and the head of the Cabinet Workshop welcomed him into your room.

Huo Xianming handed a handover document from the head office to the steward and said, "I'm here to receive a sum of money, you should be notified!" ”

Chengdu Baoyuan Cabinet Workshop has been notified by Chang'an, for this reason, they have removed the original lock of the Song Dynasty Feng Treasury and replaced it with a new lock, waiting for the new owner Huo Xianming to receive it.

The steward took the paperwork and looked at it carefully, then nodded and said, "Immortal Weng, please come with me!" ”

Huo Xianming took two personal guards to follow the steward to the backyard warehouse, which is a warehouse made of bluestone, covering an area of at least five acres, without any windows, the steward took two deputy stewards, opened one iron door after another, each door must be unlocked by three people at the same time, they came to the first area in the depths of the warehouse with oil lamps in their hands, there are eight large warehouses, and their goal is the seventh warehouse.

Huo Xianming is very familiar with this place, and his personal vault is also here, but it is only the fourteenth treasury in the second district, so I don't know who the other vaults here are.

The three stewards opened the door of the seventh treasury and handed the oil lamp to Huo Xianming, "Immortal Weng, please come in!" We are not allowed to enter the guest's warehouse. ”

Huo Xianming took the oil lamp and said to the two personal guards: "Wait at the door!" ”

He walked into the warehouse with an oil lamp, the area of this warehouse was the same as his, it was three zhang deep, two zhang wide, and two zhang high, and the warehouse was full of large boxes, stacked on top of each other, at least more than two hundred large boxes.

There are numbers on the chests, and there is a small gold lock on each chest, but this doesn't matter, it will be opened with a light prie, the key is that he has to take away the key to the iron door outside, and this vault will be completely his.

He walked to the corner, and there was a box here with a wooden lid that was concealed, and it was numbered ten gold, and when he lifted the wooden lid, the golden light shone brightly, and his eyes were almost flashed, all of them were gold ingots, each weighing at least a hundred taels.

Huo Xianming smiled contentedly, at this time, he found that there was an inventory list on the wall next to him, he took it down and looked at it, and the final inventory was 1.2 million taels of silver and 100,000 taels of gold, which were exactly the same.

He stroked each chest, and his heart was full of intoxication, one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, one hundred thousand taels of gold, all these riches were his own.......

Huo Xianming stayed for a quarter of an hour before he came out and said to the steward: "The door is locked, and I will take the key away." ”

"Do immortals need to be counted regularly?"

Huo Xianming shook his head, "When is the count, I will arrange it myself." ”

Everyone closed the iron door of the vault and locked it again, and Huo Xianming walked away with three big keys.
