Chapter Thirty-Nine: I Have Money, Too

The matter of greetings was put aside first, and after Tang Ning explained to Wang Shi, he took Wu Sheng directly to the wing room in the backyard.

He personally poured a cup of tea for Wu Sheng, and after Wu Sheng thanked him in fear, Tang Ning asked, "How is the Martial Envoy doing?" I haven't heard from him in a while, so I don't know how he's doing. ”

Wu Sheng replied: "Thank you for your thoughts, and martial arts will make everything well." ”

So Tang Ning nodded and said, "It's okay." Then he took a sip of his teacup.

Wu Sheng saw that Tang Ning didn't ask himself for a long time, so he was a little nervous. Blinking his eyes, he took the initiative to speak: "The Marquis of Danyang called the humble post to come just to ask about this?" ”

Tang Ning smiled: "There is a part...... What are you doing in such a hurry? The meal hasn't been served yet, so let's take two sips of tea to cushion your stomach. What we want to say, let's talk about it while we eat. ”

Wu Sheng said a little shyly: "Danyang Hou, if you have any questions, just ask first." Otherwise, sitting here with a humble position, I only feel awkward in my heart. ”

"What's so awkward...... Tang Ning looked at Wu Sheng with a smile and a smile, and saw that Wu Sheng still looked like you were asking quickly, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I called you over, mainly to ask you how the situation in Tokyo City is now." ”

When Wu Sheng heard this, he understood in his heart. When Downing asks this question, he is asking himself whether the situation in Tokyo is grim or not.

After thinking about it, Wu Sheng replied: "If you start from the beginning, it was half a month ago that the Khitans arrived in Kaifeng Mansion. And when they set off from Datong Mansion, they had already released the news that they would exchange five hundred taels of gold for your head.

At that time, there were quite a few people who were moved by the news, and they chose to go to the state in the first place. But it didn't take long for the news of your transfer back to Kaifeng Mansion to spread, so these people turned around and came to Tokyo City again.

According to our rough statistics, there are about 80 people who have exposed their horses and feet, and there are also nearly 30 assassins brought by the Khitans......"

Tang Ning gasped: "So exaggerated? There are more than 100 people in the whole city of Tokyo who want to kill me? ”

Wu Shengxin said that Tokyo City is so big, where is more than 100 people? Besides, these more than 100 people are only showing their flaws, and those who are still hiding in the dark and waiting for the opportunity have not yet been counted.

What's more, judging from the fact that you were transferred back from the state, most of the people who want you to die will have to add fifty.

Wu Sheng thought so in his heart, but these words were not easy to say. He nodded towards Tang Ning and said, "Danyang Hou, you may think it's a bit exaggerated, but that's the way it is now.

If you don't have a summons from your official family these days, you should try not to go out. Even if you go out, you must bring a foot guard. At the same time, your home needs to be guarded by someone too......"

"Understood." Tang Ning frowned and said, "This damn Khitan is really not going to make Lao Tzu feel better......

Speaking of which, I heard a knock on the door outside. Tang Ning said goodbye, and saw two maids come in with wine and food.

"Master Hou, the meal is ready."

"Put it here, thank you."

"Oh, Master Hou is too polite, this is what slaves and maids should do."

After the two maids laid out the wine and food, they left with a smile, Wu Sheng covered his cup and said: "Danyang Hou, there are still things to do in a while, and you can't drink." ”

"Okay, then eat something." Tang Ning just picked up the wine jug and put it down again, picked up the chopsticks and nodded at the lion's head in front of him and said, "Eat this, it's made of pure meat, it's delicious." ”

Wu Sheng was as good as a stream, took one and put it in the bowl, and then began to feast.

Tang Ning watched Wu Sheng eat with a smile while thinking in his heart. After a while, Tang Ning said to Wu Sheng: "In that case, should I also do something to let the Khitans understand that I am not easy to mess with?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Sheng put down his chopsticks and said, "At the beginning, the official family was very concerned about this matter. He even wanted to intervene, but he was honored by some ministers of the DPRK and China, and his personal intervention was tantamount to destroying the friendship between the two countries.

Now that I am in the first place, it is not appropriate for the official family to come forward again.

Therefore, the official family specially asked Wu Desi to follow up on this matter in secret.

If you want to come forward and take some countermeasures, in my humble opinion, those people will not jump out and stop you. After all, they have no reason for a victim to give up resistance, not to mention that you have fought for your country and worked hard, and at most they are just scolding and scolding. ”

Tang Ning laughed and said, "Since you have said so, if I don't do anything, then I am really sorry for their kindness!" ”

Wu Sheng also laughed and said, "Do you need to do anything in your humble position?" ”

"It would be great if you could help me get a message out to the Assassins who came for the money......

……………………

There is no night in the city of Tokyo, and even when it is dark, you can still see the crowds here.

For some people, dark night is the best time to move. What's more, with the cover of the crowd, they seem to be even more at home.

The two men met in front of a restaurant, and after one of them handed him a letter, he turned away.

The other returned to the inn, opened the letter, and couldn't help but be shocked. hurriedly called his companions, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Guys, there is another big deal!" ”

"What kind of deal?" The companion asked curiously, "What kind of deal can be bigger than Danyang Hou?" ”

"Of course, it's another one of Danyang Hou

Pen up. The man threw the letter on the table and said, "According to reliable sources, the Marquis of Danyang offered 1,000 taels of gold for the head of the Khitan envoy.

At the same time, in addition to the Khitan envoys, the Khitan envoys, as well as the heads of any Khitan people, could be exchanged for ten taels of gold from the Marquis of Danyang. ”

"A thousand taels?! Gold?! The companion rolled his eyes and fainted, what is the concept of a thousand taels of gold?

The Khitan people's five hundred taels of gold can make half of the people in the rivers and lakes move when they hear the wind and enter Tokyo City to prepare for the Great Universiade. The other half of the people were not because five hundred taels of gold was too little, but because they admired Danyang Hou and were unwilling to make a move against Danyang Hou, let alone obey the wishes of the Khitan people.

Now that the Marquis of Danyang threw out a thousand taels of gold to ask for the heads of the Khitan people, wouldn't the remaining people also have to go out? The rivers and lakes are about to be messed up, what kind of people from three religions and nine streams have to go to Tokyo City for Huang Cancan's gold to play their luck......

The news was like a gust of wind blowing through the city, and it soon spread throughout the city of Tokyo.

Zhao Xu, who was huddled on the kang in the imperial study, laughed heartily when he heard the news, and wanted to summon Tang Ning into the palace, but he thought about it.

As for Zhang, Zeng Bu, and Cai Bian, who are more worried about Tang Ning's safety, they slapped their heads and laughed.

In terms of being rich, Tang Ning said second in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is estimated that only the official family can recognize the first.

The Runzhou liquor launched by the Tang family and the Shen family is now a leader in the precious liquor. There are even many officials in Tokyo who are reluctant to buy it, and if anyone holds a banquet and makes a jar of this wine, it will be quite a face-saving matter.

In addition, the Tang family's shops were all over the Great Song Dynasty, and their caravans also traveled all over the world.

Taken together, the income alone is enough to make people hungry. Originally, this was a standard fat pig, and sooner or later it would be slaughtered for meat. But after the Tang family had money, they began to feed back to the court.

They donated money to the government to repair the government. and found all kinds of excuses to donate money to the imperial court.

said that it was a donation, but in fact it was paying protection money to Zhao Xu. This is also the main reason why the Tang family is so crazy about accumulating money, but there are no major problems so far.

Five hundred taels of gold is a huge amount, enough to make the people of the world move. They were still worried about whether something would happen to Tang Ning before, but they didn't expect that a thousand taels of gold was just a savings for the Tang family for a year or two.

The reaction of others was more interesting, jumping out to accuse Downing of undermining relations between the two countries. said that Tangning attacked the state city first, and bought ~ murder later, this is a bent on not wanting the relationship between Song and Liao to get better.

He also said that Tang Ning wished that the Great Song Dynasty would die, and also said that Tang Ning had already thought of this step from the time he attacked the state city.

Anyway, there is everything to say, in a word, these people just want to scold Tang Ning until he commits suicide.
