Chapter 860: Eight Thousand for Your Life
Ye Liuyun looked at Yan Bai and said four words, no matter who it was...... The reason why he said it to Yanbai instead of to others under him was because the meaning of these four words could only be understood by Yanbai.
There are some things that only Yan Bai knows, and Wei Lan, the commander of the Ouchi guards, may not know.
Yan Bai got up: "I'll go to Baixiaotang first to see the situation." ”
Ye Liuyun smiled and said, "Pay attention to some scales." ”
Yan Bai sighed: "That is, the scale of eight thousand taels, what else can it do." ”
Ye Liuyun shook his head with a smile.
The people under Yan Bai are all transferred by the internal guards, and these people are only temporarily working in the Criminal Department, so Yan Bai's people are very special in the Criminal Department, they will not obey anyone's dispatch, not even Ye Liuyun, and when the personnel of the Criminal Department are complete, they still have to go back to Weiyang Palace to do things.
Which of these inner guards is not arrogant, of course, if there is no real ability, who can always be arrogant, so in the Criminal Department, in addition to Yan Bai, what they really respect is Ye Liuyun, for them, Ye Liuyun is also a legend.
Different from the black brocade clothes of the Tingwei Mansion, the brocade clothes of the Criminal Department are blue, but the Criminal Department has a cavalry, and he is dressed in red.
The criminal department and the black rider of the Tingwei Mansion, as long as they go out, they are a group of people who bomb the street, and they are stared at everywhere they go, and they don't know how many little girls are afraid and have some admiration at the same time.
There are not many people who have the privilege of riding horses in Chang'an City, and the Qilin Guard in the forbidden army is a cavalry, and they have the privilege of riding horses in Chang'an, and then there is the black cavalry of the Tingwei Mansion, and the criminal department is riding, but over the years, the criminal department has also felt that he is not strong enough to go out, after all, he has been robbed of the limelight by the Tingwei Mansion.
After Yan Bai came, it was naturally different, he was the deputy commander of the Ouchi guard, and Ti Cai also felt uplifted when he followed.
One hundred and twenty Tiqi followed Yan Bai out and went straight to Xicheng, not far from Xicheng Xiangning Temple is where Baixiaotang is located, and all the people in Baixiaotang are known to this person, not to mention the people on the rivers and lakes, it is the seventy-seven-eighty-eight that ordinary people also know.
Baixiaotang was originally not as large as it is now, it was originally called Baixiao Book House, selling books, the name of the shopkeeper of Bai Xiao Book House was Li Baixiao, Han Zhaozhi also checked this person, interestingly, this person and Sumeru's good friend, Li Buxian, who taught and educated people in Liaobei Dao, may be the same ancestor, that is, the powerful person who wrote the first idle book in the rivers and lakes.
Li Baixiao has an excellent mind, he didn't make much money by opening a bookstore and selling books, and suddenly one day he remembered what his ancestors had done, as if he had been empowered, and he began to ask the people in the bookstore to compile a chronicle of celebrities.
The first issue, out of the Xishu Road horse gang old master, the result of the book came out in Chang'an City, sales are almost none, he summed up the lessons, not the book is not exciting enough nor the workmanship is not good enough, but the people of Chang'an City are not interested in the rivers and lakes of Xishu Road, so he changed his thinking, the second issue of the personal ambition is nine years old.
Shang Jiu's personal biography immediately caused a sensation, the first batch of people who came to buy books were not Jianghu guests or ordinary people, but people from Tingwei Mansion, who bought at the price, a lot of points, and directly bought hundreds of copies, at that time Li Baixiao felt that Tingwei Mansion was really extraordinary, and used all the good words that could be used to evaluate the people of Tingwei Mansion, such as fairness, strictness, impartiality, etc., and asked people to make a plaque to send it.
The day after sending the plaque, a high-ranking official came, and he was arrested on suspicion of leaking court secrets, and when the plaque was delivered, the people of the Tingwei Mansion also smiled and accepted the things, and politely sent people out, and the next morning the black horse blocked the door of Baixiao Library, and the person who came was none other than Shang Jiusui himself.
That was more than 20 years ago, and after Shang Jiu came here, he praised Li Baixiao for his amazement in making this personal story, which was quite praised, and then issued a fine of 5,000 taels of silver, on the grounds that the painting was not good, and he was ugly.
Li Baixiao paid five thousand taels of silver, but after that, he had a connection with the Tingwei Mansion.
A while ago, Shang died in battle at the age of nine, and Bai Xiaotang also printed tens of thousands of copies, which were sold out, these are all superficial things, and no one knows behind the scenes...... Li Baixiao actually cried bitterly in the middle of the night.
In the past 20 years, Bai Xiaotang has made a fortune by selling personal wills, and then opened Baixiao Bookstore branches in various parts of Daning, and the guys of these branches are responsible for exploring the news of the rivers and lakes in various places, and after more than 20 years, they are more and more outrageous, and they all follow celebrities all over the world, and they even know that they have been to the toilet several times a day, and now Baixiaotang is the largest distribution center of Jianghu news.
In fact, speaking of which, Li Baixiao's speech and demeanor can almost be determined to be the same kind of person as Li Buxian, and there may be atavism in these two people, if the powerful person who has already written the first idle book in the rivers and lakes with a smile in Jiuquan knows, maybe he will be very pleased.
The moment one hundred and twenty Tiqi stopped at the gate of Baixiaotang, the guys outside the gate of Baixiaotang were stunned, and hurriedly ran in to inform, and after a while, Li Baixiao hurriedly ran out from inside, and was taken aback when he saw Yanbai, and hurriedly bowed: "Meet Lord Yan." ”
Yan Bai frowned: "Have you seen me?" ”
"This is the first time I've seen Master Yan."
"Huh?"
Yan Bai suddenly became interested: "Since you are seeing me for the first time, why can you recognize me?" ”
"There is a Vientiane grass house in Baixiao Hall, and there are nearly 10,000 pictures in it, and the portraits of adults are also among them......"
Yan Bai was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this guy actually has the ability to never forget? There are so many portraits in Vientiane Cottage, most of them have never seen him with his own eyes, but he can recognize himself at a glance by the portraits he has seen, and this person's eyesight is really amazing.
"Get someone out."
Yan Bai waved his hand: "Send someone to secretly follow the deputy commander of the Ouchi guard, the waiter of the criminal department, it is estimated that there is no good intention, and I will talk about it after I arrest it and try it." ”
His subordinate Tiqi jumped down from the horse, stepped forward and pressed Li Baixiao's shoulder, Li Baixiao's face was bitter: "My lord, please beg your grace, Baixiaotang is doing this...... It's been so many years, and the adults in the Criminal Department also know it. ”
Yan Bai shook his head: "In the past, the adults in the Criminal Department knew that it had nothing to do with me, they didn't arrest you and may have received the money, I will go back and check if there is any greed for ink." ”
"Lord Han!"
Li Baixiao hurriedly said: "Lord Han of the Tingwei Mansion also knows. ”
"Lord Han also knows?"
Yan Bai looked at Li Baixiao and asked.
"Yes, yes, Lord Han also knows, Bai Xiaotang has been helping the Tingwei Mansion all these years, really my lord, I didn't lie to you."
"What does that have to do with me?"
Yan Bai said: "If Lord Han doesn't arrest you, I can't control it over there, but I can still talk to the Criminal Department." ”
He commanded, "Take it back." ”
I couldn't help but say that the rider tied Li Baixiao with a strong knot, and the person lifted it up and threw it on the horse.
"Seal the door."
Yan Bai pointed to the gate of Baixiaotang: "Without an order from the Criminal Department, it must not be unsealed." ”
His subordinates went up to seal the door of Baixiaotang, and the people of Baixiaotang looked at each other one by one, but no one dared to say anything, the identity in front of him was really a little high, and he was a third-grade servant of the criminal department, or the deputy commander of the Ouchi guard, not that he could afford to provoke something, but he couldn't be provoked at all.
Tiqi didn't seal the inside of Baixiaotang, but turned around and left after sealing the gate, a group of people from Baixiaotang stood in the courtyard, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows what to do, and then someone said whether it was time to eat, and then everyone hurriedly went to see what to eat tonight, and then forgot about the shopkeeper being taken away.
Penal Department.
Yan Bai pushed open his study, took off his cloak and hung it on the hanger, walked to the back of the desk and sat down, two subordinates outside the door escorted Li Baixiao in from the outside, Li Baixiao's face was very pale, he really couldn't figure out what the new waiter of the Criminal Department was going to do.
"Give him a chair."
Yan Bai waved his hand.
Someone put a chair behind Li Baixiao, Li Baixiao didn't dare to sit, and as soon as the rider pressed his shoulder, he didn't dare to sit and had to sit.
Yan Bai tidied up the things on the table, the weather was hot, poured a cup of herbal tea to relieve the heat, and said after taking a sip: "Following the instructions of Lord Shangshu, I was ordered to launch an operation to crack down on the underworld forces in the rivers and lakes in Chang'an City, and got reliable information that your people from Baixiaotang provided shelter to these gangsters, and also provided information and even weapons, is there such a thing?" ”
"It's really not, my lord, Bai Xiaotang is doing serious business."
"Huh?"
Yan Bai glanced at him: "Serious? Have the personal chronicles of the rivers and lakes printed and sold by Baixiao Bookstore over the years been filed with the government? ”
"Yes, yes, both."
"That's boring."
Yan Bai leaned over: "I just let people know about the Shuntian Mansion and the Household Department, and burned your record." ”
Li Baixiao's eyes widened suddenly: "My lord, you can't do this." ”
"Yes."
Yan Bai said seriously: "You also know that the Criminal Department is very difficult now, there is not enough manpower, the cost of all kinds of things is huge, and the funds are also stretched, and there are so many court appropriations every year, and they have already been spent, what should I do if I am empty?" Let me help you calculate, since you started selling your personal records more than 20 years ago, the income from illegal trafficking in the past 20 years should be a lot of silver, right? ”
Li Baixiao immediately reacted: "Our business is not standardized, and we should indeed be punished!" ”
"Then how do you say the punishment?"
"Severe punishment, heavy punishment!"
"The attitude is ok."
Yan Bai said: "Do you have any opinion on a fine of 100,000 taels?" ”
After slipping out, Li Baixiao slipped out of the chair and slipped to the ground, his face was as white as paper: "My lord, this is ...... 100,000 taels is really too much. ”
"Not much."
Yan Bai said: "In this way, I can't convince other people, I'm also a newcomer, I personally give you face, and I will give you a separate special grant for some relief as my criminal department waiter, how about it?" ”
Li Baixiao immediately said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
Yan Bai said: "If I say it personally, I will give you a reduction of eight thousand taels, after all, my price in your Baixiao Hall is only so much, you write a letter back, and ask your subordinates to send the ninety-two thousand taels of fine to the Criminal Department, and after paying all the money, they can leave." ”
Li Baixiao couldn't wait to give himself two slaps, eight thousand taels...... It was determined by Bai Xiaotang according to the influence of the rivers and lakes, and to put it bluntly, a large number of people are nonsense, because no one is idle to kill a deputy commander of the inner guard.
"Your Excellency...... I was wrong......"
"Otherwise, I'll show you the way."
Yan Bai got up, walked up to Li Baixiao and handed him a cup of herbal tea: "Within three days, I want to get the list of all the foreign Jianghu guests who have entered Chang'an in the past two months, everyone's." ”
Li Baixiao's face turned extremely pale for a moment, several degrees whiter than the white just now.
"Your Excellency...... It's going to kill me. ”
Yan Bai snorted coldly: "Do you think I can't kill you?" ”
