Mi Yan took the letter handed over by Li Xin, and only after a few glances did he exclaim that this was the case. Then I looked at the stack of rice coupons on the table, and sure enough, I found that all the signatures and signatures were signed by a person surnamed Shen, and the guarantor was Ruan Dacheng.

He held the rice coupon in one hand and the letter of the mysterious man in the other, and laughed: "There is something to be done in heaven, and it is no wonder that others are guilty of their own crimes!" This time, I have to let him scrape the bones and cut the flesh! After that, he looked at Li Xin expectantly, "When will we start?" ”

Li Xin was noncommittal, but pointed to the rice coupon in Mi Yan's hand: "This gift is not light, we don't know when we will be able to pay it off!" ”

Mi Yan was indifferent to this, "This person has a heart to do good, no, he should have the intention to help my three guards, so he doesn't plan to reciprocate." The marquis of the town just dealt with it calmly, presumably sooner or later, this person will take the initiative to come to the door! ”

So Mi Yan talked about some allusions to the rich and the powerful, and they were generally made friends with their hearts, and when the two sides got acquainted, they would ask for something very important, as long as they didn't want to bear the notoriety of ingratitude, they generally couldn't refuse. This kind of technique of casting a long line to catch a big fish was very common in the world, so he told Li Xin that he didn't have to take it too seriously, and when this person appeared automatically, all his doubts could be solved.

Li Xin thought about it, so he didn't think about it anymore, and instead focused on the rice coupon in front of him.

"Yuan Chang go and arrange it, go to the supervision office to check how many rice coupons are named by a businessman surnamed Shen and guaranteed by Ruan Dacheng, all of them are drawn out, and take our people to exchange rice, and all of them will be exchanged for rice."

Mi Yan thought about it and was a little worried, "So much rice will definitely not be sold for a while, and it will be a little troublesome for us to deal with it." "Now the entire rice market in Yingtianfu is saturated, and even if it is exchanged for huàn, it cannot be sold, it cannot be converted into cash, and it has to bear the cost of preservation.

Li Xin said leisurely: "Go, go!" They don't have so many meters! These rice coupons can't all be exchanged into rice! ”

Hearing Li Xin's words, Mi Yan suddenly panicked, "How?" They don't have so much rice? So, aren't our rice coupons a waste paper? Immediately, he felt that there was something wrong with his statement, after all, there was a name on it that owed the rice man and the guarantor, and this debt couldn't be paid anywhere! He finally thought of the key question: "What if they use this as an excuse to procrastinate?" ”

Li Xin took a rice coupon and pointed to the black and white paper and said: "Look at it, this evidence will be repaid immediately, if there is a delay, ......" but see the following list of various possible countermeasures, one of the most important is that if there is no rice to repay, and do not take the initiative to repay, you can sue the government, and the government will copy the seller's funds to pay off the debt!

In fact, if this kind of thing falls into the hands of ordinary people, even if it is sued by the government, if powerful people like Ruan Dacheng deny it in good faith, they are afraid that the lawsuit may not be able to exchange food for a few years, but it will be another result if it falls into the hands of the Three Guards.

Mi Yan suddenly thought of another joint, maybe the mysterious person saw that these rice coupons were difficult to cash, so he simply gave favors. However, he didn't say this to Li Xin. I only received the order and hurried to the superintendent yamen in Longtan County to start the matter.

Mi Yan had just walked for a while, and Sun Jie, the governor of Nanzhili, came to visit. It turned out that he turned back to borrow grain, and he also helped the Nanjing household department borrow grain. Li Xin was surprised, shouldn't Nanjing Hubu breathe out of the same nostril with Ruan Dacheng and the like? How do you go far at the expense of the near?

"Brother Li doesn't know, Zheng Sanjun, the head of the Nanjing household department, has a heart for Donglin, and has always despised Ruan Dacheng as a person, how can he bow to him?"

In this way, Zheng Sanjun should belong to the Donglin party? Li Xin was silently calculating, but he was becoming more and more confused, Zhou Yanru had to be reinstated, Zhang Pu and others strongly supported Fuxiang, and after his comeback, he would inevitably have to repay him, and he should also be a grasshopper on a rope with Ruan Dacheng. However, this does not seem to be the case at the moment.

It was already dark outside, and the candles in the study were crackling, Sun Ji waited quietly for Li Xin's reply, and finally he asked, "How much do you need?" ”

Sun Jian listened to Li Xin's question, and knew that there was hope, so he stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty thousand stones?" Sun Jian shook his head, seeing this Li Xin gasped.

"Two hundred thousand stones?"

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "Ministry, let's be honest, Li Xin does have rice in his hand, but the rice that can be eaten is only about 100,000 stones. Sun Jiao was inexplicable by what he said, and Li Xin then told him about the current problems one by one. After hearing this, Sun Jiao suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, just wait for Brother Li to change the rice, don't be in a hurry at this time!" ”

Sun Ji paused for a moment, and then asked, "Do you need the governor's yamen to issue you an official document?" ”

Li Xin shook his head, before the government came forward, he would definitely not go to court unless he had to. After talking about the matter, Sun Jiao's mood also relaxed, and suddenly he saw a piece of paper on the ground, and there was a line of small words written on it, but he couldn't see it clearly. So he leaned down and bent down to pick up the paper.

After taking a few looks, Sun Ji actually laughed, "Brother Li is so elegant!" ”

Li Xin then remembered that a piece of paper had fallen to the ground before, and he had not paid attention to it because he had too many things in his heart, and when he saw Sun Ji smiling, he leaned over and pulled out the piece of paper he was holding in his hand. I saw a line of fly-headed small letters on the paper, but it was a poem!

"Where's the homecoming? Long pavilions are shorter pavilions. ”

Li Xin's poetry level is only at the level of the third year of high school, although he doesn't know any allusions to Yu Pingxuan, it is also catchy to read, and it is a good homesick poem. He thought that the mysterious person was a native of Datong, and he was a stranger in Jiangnan, and he was an official in Datong, and he was also half a fellow countryman, so it made sense to recite a poem. It's just that a businessman can sing poetry, and it's not simple. Seeing that Sun Ji still looked at himself narrowly, he said: "This is the mysterious person sandwiched in the letter, not written by Li Xin, the ministry also knows the ink in my stomach, and I can't write such neat handwriting." I think this person is from Datong, and I used to be an official in Datong, half of the countryman, and now I am in a foreign land and write a poem with feelings......"

Who knew that Sun Jian couldn't help laughing, Li Xin immediately realized that he had lost his words, but he didn't know where to lose his words in a hurry, and he only thought that he could only comment on the few words of the poem, or he was ugly. However, he is a martial artist, and there is no shame in saying that the donkey's lips are not right. Thinking of this, he was relieved again.

"Li Xin doesn't understand poetry, he said the wrong thing, don't laugh!"

Sun Ji pointed to the piece of paper and said bluntly: "Brother Li really doesn't understand poetry, this is not a poem but a word, a word of a far-reaching bad guy!" And it was written by a woman, maybe it was Brother Li's old friend at the same time! ”

These words made Li Xin stunned for a long time, and then asked with confirmation: "What the ministry said, is it true?" ”

"Naturally, take it seriously! The words are written by Taibai, and they are written about thinking about women and pregnant people, if it is not for the deceased, how can these words be sent to Brother Li? ”

Could it be that the mysterious man is a woman? According to Sun Jiao, he is still an old man. Li Xin has only two women who have been implicated since he came to the Ming Dynasty, one is Huang Yu, and the other is Zhu Huiyu, the daughter of the King of Jin, the lord of Xinle, and there is no one else.

After a while, Li Xin suddenly asked: "Can the ministry rush back to Nanjing tonight?" ”

Sun Ji was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It's getting late, and the city gate is closed." I can't remember the city when I go back today, so I just stay in your army for the night and return tomorrow! ”

Early the next morning, Li Xin summoned Mi Yan and Sun Ji to go to Nanjing together, and Lu Jiu heard that the thirteenth brother had gone to Nanjing City, so he couldn't let go of his heart, so he secretly followed with a dozen people for protection.

Along the way, Li Xin was rarely taciturn, and Mi Yan seemed to notice that the atmosphere was different, so he tried to say something interesting to adjust, but after all, he lacked humor and told a few extremely cold stories, and even he didn't think it was ridiculous.

Li Xin has not been to Nanjing since he came to Jiangnan, and he has his own plans. And after Sun Jie's reminder last night, he hurried to Nanjing, because he wanted to confirm what he thought in his heart, was the mysterious person her or her? Or maybe he can't wait, and when he thinks of it, his thoughts are like a river that has opened the floodgates.

After entering the city, Li Xin and Sun Jiao said goodbye temporarily, and had no intention of looking at the bustling ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Soon, they stopped in front of a house. But seeing that the courtyard wall is not high, the courtyard gate is not obvious, and the winding path of the alley leads to here, it seems to have a sense of cave. Li Xin couldn't help but sigh, this kind of house can only be seen in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. After crossing the Yellow River to the north, it is already full of high-walled gates, and it is all proclaimed rich!

Mi Yan went to call the door, and after a while, a crack opened in the side door, and a head poked out of it, and it was a Datong official dialect: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Li Xin stared at it but couldn't recognize this person, so he stepped forward and said, "Li Xin of Longtan County, is your master here?" ”

The janitor sighed, as if he had heard Li Xin's name, but replied with a regretful face: "It's really unfortunate that the master of my family left last night and has already gone to Hangzhou." ”

Hearing this, Li Xin's heart was already half cold.

"Do you know when to return?"

The janitor shook his head again.

"The master did not explain to the villain when he left. The two masters, please come back later! Saying this is already equivalent to sending off guests, and the implication is that you are going to close the door.

Li Xin was unwilling to be reconciled, so he stretched out his hand to hold the door that was about to close, and asked, "Your master's surname is Huang?" ”

The janitor shook his head, already a little impatient.

"Don't have the surname Huang, don't have the surname Huang, you're in the wrong place, this person is really ......"

The door slammed shut, and Li Xin's hand was pulled back quickly, otherwise he would definitely be pinched and fractured.
