【1349】The Strategy of the Two Tigers (19)
Summary of the previous chapter: Jiang Batian started a crazy mode of accumulating money, and Ma Xiaoquan was already aware of this
++++++++++++++++++++++
Just when Jiang Batian was undecided, someone suddenly mentioned Third Uncle Jiang.
Jiang Batian snorted and asked curiously: "It's true, why haven't I seen the third uncle recently, have you seen it?" ”
Most of the clansmen shook their heads, but a middle-aged man said slowly: "Batian, it seems that someone saw the third uncle go to Ma San two days ago~"
"Where did you go to Ma San? Do what? ”
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and shook his head: "I don't know, I also heard about it, otherwise, Batian, you have investigated and investigated~~"
As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, a young man stood up: "Jiang Monkey, you are idle all day long, and you are not on good terms with the third uncle, I'm afraid you are thinking about the third uncle's book again, right?" ”
The middle-aged man was unhappy and said, "What do you say? Even if I don't get along with the third uncle again, I won't ruin the reputation of the third uncle at this critical time, right? Batian, anyway, I said it, if you believe it, you will send someone to check, if you don't believe it, just because I didn't say it~"
"Okay, okay~~" Jiang Batian waved his hand impatiently, "You don't have to say a word, since the monkey said it, then check, Jiang Long, I think you can go~ Well, you stay for a while, I still have something to ask you~"
The young man who spoke just now nodded: "Cheng~~"
Jiang Batian exhaled: "As for when we leave, well, I think it's better to wait~"
"Yes~~"
At night, in the study of the Governor's Mansion.
Ma Xiaoquan held his chin with his right hand, and his left hand tapped the table rhythmically, making a clicking sound.
There was a middle-aged man standing in front of him, the man looked a little nervous, but from his eyes, he seemed to be very excited, it turned out that the man's eyes were staring at the table tightly.
On the table there are ten large silver ingots, each of which is ten taels, and under the reflection of the candlelight, the silver light shines, which is very beautiful.
Ma Xiaoquan glanced up at the middle-aged man, then gently flicked one of the silver ingots with his fingers, and muttered: "Jiang Monkey, you have done a good job in this matter, according to what the official promised you, I can give you all these ten ingots of official silver, but this is very heavy, how can you take it, what if it is discovered?" I think so, you might as well put this official silver here with your own official, and I will help you keep it for you, and when you want it, come and get it again, okay? ”
The middle-aged man lowered his head, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes: "My lord, thank you for your kindness, I think I still take it myself, I can hold it by myself, and I can't crush people." ”
Ma Xiaoquan sneered, spread his hands and said: "Okay, then you slow down, don't make a noise, by the way, you said that Jiang Batian had the intention of running away, so he was crazy about collecting money, so why did you tell me this?" Aren't you afraid that I will tell Jiang Batian? ”
"Hehe, adults don't know something, Jiang Batian has accumulated money, and most of them only let him directly spend money, and we, the cousins of the hall, can also take care of food and clothing, and there is no need to talk about any pocket money, Jiang Batian also robbed me of a room of concubines before"
"Oh? Isn't it, you're cousins, what's the matter, he's still robbing your woman? Come, tell the official to hear about it" Ma Xiaoquan is interested in gossiping.
"Hey, it's actually nothing, the main thing is that I was late at the time, otherwise the concubine would be mine" Jiang Monkey seemed reluctant to mention the past.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled, stood up and walked in front of Jiang Monkey, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, you go back, it's not too late, it's not good if Jiang Batian finds out~~"
"Yes, that little retirement~"
"Hmm~~"
After Jiang Monkey left, Hua Yue flashed out from behind the screen.
"Ma Xiaoquan, this guy named Jiang Monkey is not credible?"
Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "The nine sons of Longsheng have their own advantages, this Jiang monkey is about the same age as Jiang Batian, but he is idle, he is either playing birds or gambling all day long, it doesn't matter believe it or not, the key is that he has a handle in my hands"
"Handle? What handle? ”
Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "I asked Fang Yun to set up a game, set Jiang Monkey to jump in, and let the old boy owe a lot of money Jiang Monkey was forced to come to me because he had no choice, of course, in fact, it was just some small tips given by Fang Yun~Hmph~"
Hua Yue sighed, and suddenly realized: "No wonder I just said it?"
"Yue'er, I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance, it's really a bit urgent, so I came up with such a trick, in fact, I didn't have much hope, after all, Jiang Monkey and Jiang Batian are cousins, who would have thought hehe"
Hua Yue smiled and shook her head: "Didn't you just say it?" The nine sons of Long Sheng have their own advantages, not to mention that Jiang Monkey is still cousins with Jiang Batian? But you gave him so much official silver at once, it can't be official silver, right? ”
"Well, you don't have to worry about this, of course it's not official silver, it's all the tickets I managed to get from Huang Tianhu Isn't Huang Tianhu absent in the past two days, I've already inquired, he transported his own black money and sent it to Wei Zhongxian~"
"Ticket silver?" Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Ma Xiaoquan, you are so insidious, that ticket of silver was made by Huang Tianhu secretly melting the broken silver, you can get it?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Huang Tianhu's power is indeed great, but he has a lot of people, so he is naturally mixed, and if he wants to get a ticket for silver, it is nothing more than to dredge up some relationships, and then spend more money." ”
Hua Yue said: "Dredging the relationship? Are you talking about Cui Jing? ”
"Well, exactly~~"
Hua Yuemei's eyes narrowed: "Ma Xiaoquan, you tell the truth, are you with that Cui Jing?"
Ma Xiaoquan said helplessly: "Where are you, I have met Cui Jing a few times, every time I am in a hurry, even if I Ma Xiaoquan can't do it again, it can't be so short, right?" Besides, we really didn't have anything going on, did we? ”
Hua Yueqiao blushed and said angrily: "Who said who said that it was a matter of time?" What are you thinking? ”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Okay, okay, don't think about it, don't think about it."
Jiang Monkey carried ten large silver ingots in his arms, poked his head out of the side door of the chief steward's mansion in a leisurely manner, looked around, and made sure that there was no one, so he put his mind at ease and slipped out of the side door.
Jiang Monkey didn't know that in a corner not far from him, a young man was staring at him closely.
Due to the lack of moonlight at night, coupled with the problem of angle, the young man could see the Jiang monkey, but the Jiang monkey could not see the young man
When Jiang Monkey returned home, he carefully took out the ten large silver ingots in his arms, and put them on the table one by one.
Jiang Monkey's wife was startled when she saw so much money, and hurriedly whispered: "Dead ghost, why did you get so much money as soon as you came back, and it was all big silver ingots?" ”
Jiang Monkey covered his wife's mouth and settled down: "Be quiet, daughter-in-law, this silver ingot can't see anyone, hurry up Ming'er to find an opportunity for the two of us to go to the city, melt it all if you lose a little, and exchange the silver for a silver ticket before leaving." ”
"Uh-huh, okay~~ But where did this silver come from? You didn't steal it, did you? ”
Jiang Monkey lied: "Of course not, it was given to me secretly by Batian, you be quiet, Batian has ordered, no one is allowed to say this, especially you, you must shut up, did you hear it?" ”
"Okay, okay~ I know."
"Okay, you find a jar, put the silver up first, and when we have time, we'll take it again~"
Cao Gang, in the main hall of the Fujian faction.
"What, Jiang Monkey slipped out of the Governor's Mansion? What did he do? Jiang Batian asked.
The young man in front of him shook his head: "I don't know, although I can see it, but I can't see it clearly, but looking at Jiang Monkey's movements, it seems that he is carrying something."
Jiang Batian dragged his chin and said, "Jiang Long, in this way, you want to find a way to inquire, well, just ask from Jiang Monkey's mother-in-law, his mother-in-law is a fork-mouthed, give some benefits, and will say anything."
"Well, I see~"
The next day, Jiang Long smoothly got the secret out of Jiang Monkey's wife's mouth, and he quickly reported the secret to Jiang Batian.
When Jiang Batian heard this, he was taken aback: "When did I give Jiang Monkey money?" Or a big ingot of silver? Those of us rarely get big ingots of silver, and all we have are ticket silver and official silver, official silver is impossible, even if I don't have a little ability, it will be difficult, ticket silver, but a little? It's just Jiang Long, can you hear clearly, is it official silver or ticket silver? ”
Jiang Long couldn't get it for sure: "Brother Batian, I heard her wife say that it was a big silver ingot, as for whether it was official silver or ticket silver, I didn't listen."
Jiang Batian's eyes narrowed, and he dragged his chin and said: "Jiang Monkey came out of the Governor's Mansion, could it be that Ma San wants to buy Jiang Monkey?" Not good for me? Hmm~~~ By the way, what has Huang Tianhu been doing lately? ”
Jiang Long said: "Huang Tianhu went out with a cart of things two days ago, and he was not in the Cao Gang, and his younger brother was taking care of it these days. ”
"Okay, then you can find a way to go to Henan to inquire over there and see if they have any big silver ingots over there."
"Yes~~"
