The more than ten military attachés in the courtyard were silent for a while, and everyone pushed a hundred households out to talk to Zhang Tiqian.

"Zhang Baihu, this is really not our deliberate trouble. Your Majesty has been far more kind to our soldiers than in the past, and we are not plants and trees, so we can not be unaware.

Even if we don't have this retirement pension, we shouldn't complain about the two adults. It's true that most of us and others have already started a family here, and now we have to drag our families back to our hometowns, and we always need some travel expenses..."

Sun Yunhe suddenly interrupted the words of this hundred households impatiently and said: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago, as long as you arrive in Tongzhou, you can exchange it, and this banknote can also pay for the use of the post station..."

Zhang Tiqian suddenly interrupted his companion's words and said to the hundred households just now, "So what do you want?" ”

Zhang Sishun, the general flag standing in the crowd, said with some indignation: "If we can't exchange it when we get to Tongzhou, will it be possible that we will come back again?" ”

Gao Baihu, who was elected by everyone, immediately reprimanded him: "You shut up for me." Two adults, our requirements are not high, as long as we can fold it in half, do we really want to kill them all? ”

Listening to the threatening meaning in this Gao Baihu's words, Zhang Tiqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, he stopped Sun Yunhe's senseless anger, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then you must give the two of us a little time to discuss." ”

Gao Baihu looked at the faces of his colleagues on the left and right, and finally nodded and said, "Since Zhang Baihu said so, then I will come back tomorrow to visit." ”

After seeing the group of officers out of the courtyard, Sun Yunhe said to Zhang Tiqian a little angrily: "Did you drink too much?" It's just a bunch of splashers, could it be that they really dare to make trouble? I'm not afraid that the court will cut off their heads..."

Although Sun Yunhe's status was much higher than his own in the past, but now Zhang Tiqian feels that the two are equal in front of Chongzhen, if it weren't for the need to work together to organize the army, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to this irascible colleague.

He said to Sun Yunhe a little angrily: "Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will cut off our heads?" ”

"Why did Your Majesty cut off our heads, is it also wrong that we are loyal to Your Majesty?" Sun Yunhe was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.

Zhang Tiqian glanced at his colleagues and said, "Your Majesty asked us to come here to assist several adults in reorganizing the Liaodong Army. If a mutiny is provoked and the movement of the whole army is interrupted, do you think Your Majesty will spare us? ”

Sun Yunhe was speechless for a while, and asked in a low voice for a long time: "You said that Your Majesty issued paper money instead of silver taels, is it really like what they said, just to coax people out of the customs first, and then delay and not admit it?" ”

Zhang Tiqian is also difficult to answer Sun Yunhe's question, and no one knows what His Majesty thinks. But according to the temperament of the old Zhu family in the past, there is a way to exchange paper money for real money, but it is really difficult to say that you want to exchange real money for paper money.

Seeing that Zhang Tiqian pondered and didn't answer, Sun Yunhe frowned again and complained, "Even if we agree with what these people say, take the paper money in half, we can't take out this lot of silver." If they do come tomorrow, how are we going to deal with it? ”

Zhang Tiqian said: "It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as we can get this first batch of people back to the countryside first, the rest of the things will be easy to do." ”

Sun Yunhe asked a little blankly, "How do you get it?" What they mean is that if they don't give them money, they will feel like they are going to make trouble. Why don't you talk to Lord Mangui and arrest them all? ”

Zhang Tiqian looked back at Sun Yunhe and said with some surprise: "This is a side stopper, after killing people and hiding in the wild, who can find it?"

Besides, what if they really pushed them into a hurry, instigated a mutiny in the camp, and took our heads to defect to Houjin? Do you think just a few of us can stop the rebels? ”

Sun Yunhe suddenly felt a little cold in the back of his head, he subconsciously shrunk his neck and said, "Then we have to send a letter to Your Majesty and ask him to bring some silver to Ningyuan?" ”

Zhang Tiqian lowered his head and looked at his toes before he said: "We, the old people promoted by Father-in-law Wei, Your Majesty did not punish them severely, and we should have cultivated our minds and returned to the countryside to farm.

Now that Your Majesty has sent the two of us out to do errands, and then we push the issue to Your Majesty, what do you think Your Majesty will think of the two of us? Would you praise the two of us for doing a good job? ”

Sun Yunhe was speechless for a while, and then said dejectedly: "Then what should I do?" It's all to blame on this damn silver, these thieves and prisoners are all obsessed with money. They won't listen to anything we say without money. ”

Zhang Tiqian suddenly chopped his feet, and said with determination: "I have an emergency solution, but I don't know if you dare to do it with me." ”

"It's all at this time, what else are you selling, we are both toads on a rope, who can leave whom. If you have a plan, speak up, hurry. ”

Zhang Tiqian walked up to him and bit his ear for a while, Sun Yunhe's face changed, and he hesitated for a while before asking, "Is it really okay to do this?" What if they make a fuss? ”

Zhang Tiqian seemed to persuade Sun Yunhe, and as if to convince himself, he said categorically: "This method of exchanging banknotes for silver taels is an order from Your Majesty. If we can't exchange the silver taels, and they make a fuss, will Your Majesty still not support us? At the very least, these merchants are easier to deal with than these poor soldiers. ”

Sun Yunhe still said with some hesitation: "But the businessmen who can open shops in Ningyuan always have some background behind them. I have also heard in Beijing that it is said that those who can trade outside the customs are either the families of the nobles or the relatives of the generals outside the gates. Are we offending them by doing this? ”

"We have no way to deal with these poor soldiers, but to deal with these nobles and generals, are we Jinyiwei vegetarians? Behind us stood Your Majesty. Zhang Tiqian said meaningfully.

Sun Yunhe finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, the so-called wealth and danger are in danger, and the great thing is to go back to Beijing and sit on the cold bench, and you must pass this level first..."

On the south street of Ningyuan City, there is the largest pawn shop in the city, called Juyuan Pawnshop. The shareholders of this pawnshop are the ancestors of the Ningyuan clan and Wu Xiang, the son-in-law of the ancestral family.

This pawnshop has the ancestral family behind it, and naturally no one dares to mess with it in Ningyuan City. However, Zu Dashou also takes into account his own reputation, and this Juyuan pawnshop does not pit locals very much, of course, it is difficult to say for outsiders.

However, the citizens who passed by South Street today were a little surprised to find that in addition to the Juyuan pawnshop, which is not open for a day during the Lantern Festival, it is actually closed today.

In the second hall of the pawnshop, Zhang Tiqian and Sun Yunhe, who were sitting on the chair on their right, happened to be drinking tea all day long, and two brocade-clothed guards were standing behind them with knives and guarding.

The big shopkeeper of Juyuan Pawnshop was sweating profusely holding a tray, standing in front of two hundred households in brocade clothes, and said grovelly: "Two adults, this pawnshop is a small profit, and it really can't afford to be a treasure for two adults.

also asked the two adults to take back the treasures, and the villain was willing to give some foot money, which was regarded as compensating the two adults for running in vain. ”

Sun Yunhe glanced at the tray in the hands of the big shopkeeper, the two brocade clothes and guard tooth cards on the plate, and two silver ingots of 50 taels.

He suddenly lowered his face and said, "Could it be that the shopkeeper of Cheng Miao treats us as street scoundrels who come to the door to blackmail?" Do you know that humiliating Jinyiwei is humiliating Your Majesty? ”

"Small, villain has no such intention, please also ask the adults to be clear." Shopkeeper Miao, who had always been unostentatious in Ningyuan City, suddenly knelt on the ground in fright.

This shopkeeper Miao is so afraid of the two brocade clothes, to be honest, he should thank the Donglin party for their description of the factory guard.

In the description of the Donglin Party, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have become the first villains of the Ming Dynasty, and they rely on the emperor's favor to wantonly persecute the military generals of Wenchen.

Especially the various punishments of Dongchang, in order to express how loyal and unyielding the loyal ministers who were arrested in Dongchang, the scholars invented various cruel torture instruments for Dongchang.

For example, take boiling water to scald the thigh meat, and then use an iron brush to brush off the skin and flesh layer by layer. And that big iron plate was hot, and people were put on it to fry alive, and so on.

This Ningyuan City is close to the front line, so there is no entertainment in ordinary times, and the biggest pastime of this shopkeeper Miao is to read some idle books.

He didn't have much courage to be born, and when he saw two live brocade guards coming to the door today, he suddenly felt a little distracted.

Seeing that the big shopkeeper of this pawnshop was frightened to such an extent, Zhang Tiqian had to come out to ease the atmosphere, their purpose was not to smash the pawnshop to make enemies.

Zhang Tiqian looked at the couplet on the pillar of the second hall, and couldn't help but turn his head to the shopkeeper and smile and said: "Isn't your pawnshop known as the one who wants to pawn all the three mountains and five mountains?" It's just two tooth cards, how can you not afford it? ”

The shopkeeper Miao said with a bitter face: "It's just the game of the owner, it can't be taken seriously, and the two adults are invited to put the shop on the horse, and the villain will order someone to take it down." Sandezi, where is it? You bring..."

"No, I think it's a good couplet. Since you can't make up your mind, why don't you ask the owner of the pawnshop to come and talk about it, isn't the two of us not qualified enough to meet your owner? ”

"Enough, enough qualifications, how can the two adults not be qualified. However, my owner is not in Ningyuan now, so why don't you ask the two adults to go back first, and after the villain informs the owner, he will personally compensate the two of them, right? Shopkeeper Miao said hesitantly.

Zhang Tiqian stopped talking for a while, he picked up the tea bowl on the coffee table next to him and drank the tea slowly.

Sun Yunhe suddenly said angrily: "You are a thief and don't know what to do, and the owner is not there, so go find someone who can call the shots and come over to talk." Do you want to send the official away in just a few words? Are you a girl in the kiln? If it is waved, it will go, and if it is recruited, it will come. ”

"Poof. Ahem, ahem. The tea that Zhang Tiqian had just drunk in his mouth suddenly squirted out, he really couldn't figure it out, it was really unreasonable for Gonggong Wei to appreciate this vulgar and rude bastard and hold himself down.
