Fenghou

Dong An pondered for a moment and said: "The humble staff suggested that Mr. Hu should take this wealth in the name of His Royal Highness King Yong. Baoji Cabinets dare not refuse to give it to them, and then send people to keep an eye on them, and they are not allowed to send people to inform them. We move wealth to buy time."

Hu Yun also felt that it made sense, nodded and said: "That's it, I'll give you three days to get to know Baoji Cabinet Factory first, and then I'll go to extract the wealth."

After Hu Yun left, Dong An immediately sent someone to find Wei Yanzong, and entrusted him with important tasks.

Chapter 63: Taking Money

Three days later, in the afternoon, Hu Yun was picked up by a carriage, and together they headed towards Baoji Cabinetry. Still going in a circle, Hu Yun needs to know something.

"Has everything been arranged?" Hu Yun asked.

Dong An nodded, "Arranged ten thousand stone ships, five of which will enter the city and berth near the cabinet workshop. If needed, the other five will quickly enter the city!"

Dong An laughed again: "All our brothers have been mobilized. If Yang Yizhong wants to catch us all, this is his chance."

"Have you investigated the situation in the cabinet?" Hu Yun asked again.

"After investigation, the chief steward is called Wang Yan, and the big tent is called Wu Changhong. These two are very important. If you want to withdraw more than [-] yuan, you must open the key at the same time."

"Can I withdraw all the money at once today?"

"of course can!"

Dong An laughed and said: "The humble staff have investigated in detail. They have three major warehouses, Tiandihao, among which Tianzihao warehouse is a big customer. If the procedures are complete, all the money can be taken away on the spot. Of course, they also have to look at the person."

Hu Yun was startled, "What do you mean?"

"The humble position means that the regulations are regulations, but if it is just ordinary merchants, they may delay for a few days, or they may not allow them to take them all away, but if they are special envoys to represent King Yong, they will not dare to bully customers. "

Hu Yun nodded, and asked again: "Is there any emergency plan?"

"Yes! If the other party's chief executive finds an excuse to delay, we have a way to deal with it urgently."

"That's good! Go to the cabinet shop."

The carriage turned around and drove towards the main store of Baoji Cabinet Square at the entrance of Yujie.

After Song Taizu released his military power with a cup of wine, several heroes and dignitaries lost their military power, but got a lot of wealth and land. They then co-founded Baoji Cabinet Shop. After more than 100 years of development, it has become the largest cabinet shop in the world.

The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was an extremely heavy blow to Baoji Cabinet Workshop, and the losses were heavy. However, the owner and shopkeeper of the cabinet workshop were relatively shrewd. All the property was moved to the south, and the wealth of many dignitaries was preserved.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, Baoji Cabinet Shop developed rapidly again. Among them, Baoji Cabinet Shop in Chengdu has become the second largest branch after Lin’an. Baoji Cabinet Shop also has a branch in Jingzhao, but it is not as good as the first cabinet in Sichuan and Shaanxi. It is a government-run workshop with a huge scale, but even so, Jingzhao's Baoji Cabinet Workshop can rank third.

Just after noon at this time, the treasurer Wang Yan got the news that the special envoy of King Yong came to withdraw a large sum of money. Wang Yan hurriedly greeted him. He was a little strange in his heart. He should know that the special envoy of King Yong Hu Yun was depositing money here. , even His Royal Highness King Yong never saved it!

Although Wang Yan was puzzled, he still greeted him.

"Welcome the special envoy to the shop, Wang Yan, I'm in charge of the shop!"

Hu Yun smiled slightly: "Please take care of the king!"

"No! No! Please go to your guest room to talk, Xiao Liulang, and serve tea to the distinguished guest!"

Hu Yun was let into the noble guest room, and the two parties were divided into guests and hosts. Hu Yun took out a gold medal, put it on the table and said with a smile: "This is the gold medal of King Yong. In Lin'an, I can fully represent King Yong."

Wang Yan was taken aback, "Special Envoy Hu, this is..."

Only then did Hu Yun take out the wooden box and put it on the table, "His Royal Highness King Yong asked me to do something, and I came to get a sum of money from him."

"It's the first time I've heard that His Royal Highness King Yong actually deposits money with us."

"It doesn't have to be a real name!"

Wang Yan suddenly realized, he pointed to the wooden box, "Can I get started?"

"Please!" Hu Yun pushed the wooden box over.

Wang Yan opened the wooden box, and the smile on his face froze immediately. He recognized the half jade plaque at once. This is the jade plaque of Zhang Tai, the second largest customer of the main store. Who is Zhang Tai? Of course they will investigate Pass.

Saving money for Yan Xiao is very risky. Once he is implicated, the main store will be overwhelmed, but the benefits are also huge. If Zhang Tai has any troubles, the main store can swallow the money.

"Why, are there rules?" Hu Yun asked lightly.

"No! No! We recognize votes and jade but not people."

Wang Yan already understood that Zhang Tai must have been destroyed by King Yong, so that the ticket and Yumi would fall into King Yong's hands.

He hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Envoy Hu, please sit down for a while, I will check."

Wang Yan picked up the wooden box and hurried out. Why didn't Hu Yun understand the other party's intentions? Logically, he had to seek his own opinion before taking it for appraisal. Secondly, the evidence should not leave his sight, otherwise who would be able to explain clearly if he was replaced?It should be that he asked the accountant to bring things over to check. Obviously, the other party was looking for an excuse to leave, and then notified someone to report.

Hu Yun gave Dong An a wink behind him, Dong An understood and went out immediately.

Not long after, Wang Yan came in again with the box, and said with a smile, "No problem, it's absolutely correct, or I'll take the special envoy to see the warehouse first!"

Hu Yun smiled and nodded, "It's an honor!"

"this way please!"

Hu Yun put away the wooden box, and followed Wang Yan to the warehouse behind. The other party wanted to delay, so he accompanied him.

……

A clerk came out from the side door of the cabinet shop. He looked around for a moment, then hurried towards Onei. At this time, two carriages came from the clerk, sandwiching the clerk in between, blocking the sight of the people around him, waiting for the carriage to pass by. , the man is gone.

Chief Steward Wang Yan brought Hu Yun to the warehouse of Tianzihao, and introduced as he walked: "This is our top secret warehouse. There are only ten customers who store money here, even the private property of the queen, queen mother, and uncle are stored. Here, it is the trust in our Po Kee Cabinet.”

He opened the door and invited Hu Yun in. It looked like a large wooden warehouse from the outside, but when he went in, he found that the inner warehouse was built with large bluestones. He entered through a deep doorway, and the iron gates inside One, locked with a big lock.

"These iron gates need to be opened by me and the big tent at the same time. Unfortunately, the big tent is not here today, otherwise you can bring the special envoy in to have a look."

As expected, the good show was staged, Hu Yun said lightly: "The chief manager means that I can't get the property today?"

Wang Yan pretended to be surprised, "Is the special envoy going to take it away today?"

"Of course, otherwise, what am I here for?"

"Oh! I'm so sorry! The big tent is not feeling well today, so please take leave to rest at home, or the special envoy will come back tomorrow!"

Hu Yun's tone also turned cold, "Send someone to pick him up! I can wait patiently."

"This... okay! I can only do my best. I can't guarantee that he will come over, but please bear with me, the special envoy."

"I said, I can wait patiently."

Wang Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said hastily, "I'll send someone to invite him right away, and the special envoy invites you to rest in your guest room."

"No! I'm waiting outside in the carriage. When did you figure it out? When will you come to me."

After finishing speaking, Hu Yun ignored him, turned around and walked away.

Wang Yan became even more nervous, sweating profusely, how could he not hear something in Hu Yun's words?

……

As time passed, Hu Yun sat in the carriage and drank tea, looking very patient. His carriage was very spacious, like a room. Although he did not have a tea boy, there was a teahouse next to him, providing him with tea and refreshments at any time. .

Sitting in the lobby, Wang Yan looked at the carriage outside from time to time, feeling very uneasy. He just got the news that five thousand-stone cargo ships were moored on the Caohe River behind him, and there were many people of unknown origin nearby, all of whom were fierce. It must be Hu Yun's men.

The point is that the person he sent to report the letter has not returned for a long time, which made him wonder whether the person he sent to report the letter would be detained.

At this time, a clerk came hurriedly from outside and whispered a few words in Wang Yan's ear, Wang Yan's expression changed drastically.

Chapter 64 Breakthrough

Wang Yan's face turned pale, and the man told him that his two grandsons had just been carried away.

Wang Yan has a son and a daughter. The son died of illness three years ago, leaving behind two grandsons, one three-year-old and one five-year-old. After the daughter-in-law remarried, the two grandchildren were handed over to him and raised by him.

It can be said that these two grandsons are everything to him, his lifeblood, and his incense is passed on by these two grandsons.

Now that the two grandsons were taken away by someone, Wang Yan was like a thunderbolt.

He looked at Hu Yun who was still drinking tea outside, his eyes turned red immediately, he walked out of the gate quickly, and walked directly to the carriage.

As soon as he walked to the carriage, he suddenly saw a big man next to him holding a piece of children's clothes in his hand, which was his grandson's clothes.

He pointed at the clothes and trembled all over, "This clothes... this clothes, where is my grandson?"

The big man snorted coldly and said, "How do I know where your grandson is? I picked it up by the river, and I'm going to take it back to shine shoes!"

Wang Yan slapped himself twice, walked to the car window and bowed again and again, "Lord Hu, please let me off, a small person like Shengdou! Give me back my grandson."

Hu Yun slowly opened the window of the car, and said coldly: "You also know that you are a small person in Shengdou, I don't understand, you, an ordinary cabinet manager, want to steal King Yong's spoils for yourself, how many heads do you have? , Don’t think about your grandson, think about the fate of your entire family!”

Wang Yan wept bitterly and said, "Damn the villain! The villain is so confused!"

"Don't waste any more time here. The person you sent to report has already had his head cut off. Go to the West Lake to collect his body tomorrow. If you waste any more time, prepare to collect the bodies of your two grandsons!"

"Little man, go and open the gate!"

Hu Yun handed the box to him, "Follow the rules and tell your proprietor that His Royal Highness King Yong did not break the rules."

Wang Yan took the box and went back. The big tent was indeed not there, but he had the key to the big tent. He could open the door as long as the formalities were completed.

A series of iron gates were opened, and the next three waterway iron gates were also opened. Generally, money was transported by water, and no one would carry property on the street.

Hu Yun finally saw Zhang Tai's belongings stored here. They were all big wooden boxes, filled three warehouses, and the boxes were all sealed.

Hu Yun couldn't figure out why Zhang Tai kept his wealth in Lin'an. Did he really think that Baoji Cabinet would not be greedy for the property of Mo's customers?

It's all well said, this is an era when big fish eat small fish, without strength and power, a salt owl like Zhang Tai can't keep his wealth.

Four strong men struggled to lift a large box and put it on a flat cart. The axle of this type of cart is a copper rod, which can withstand a weight of several hundred kilograms. The big man carefully pushed the large box to the boat outside the dock. Send it, you can send it directly into the cabin.

Dozens of warriors moved quickly and transported boxes out of the warehouse. Wang Yan who was next to him was terrified. He never thought that Hu Yun would bring so many people here. They were all highly skilled soldiers!

Now he is more worried about his grandson's situation. When he approached Hu Yun and was about to speak, Hu Yun said indifferently: "The fleet leaves Lin'an, and your grandson will naturally return it to you."

Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that five ships can't fit it!"

"It doesn't matter, there are five more ships coming this way, and they will be here soon."

Wang Yan had hoped that they would be intercepted by the army, but at this moment he changed his mind, and only hoped that they would leave quickly.

……

Nearly fifty big men loaded the ship with the fastest speed, but there were too many big boxes. They kept busy until dark, and the contents of the three vaults were finally moved. The ten big ships were fully loaded, and the outer gate of Baoji was closed. , The iron doors inside were also closed one by one, and Wang Yan's heart was only half relieved.

It is unique to use ten large ships to transport property since the establishment of Baoji Cabinet. Although the property is on board, the crisis has not been resolved. There are two checkpoints at the city gate and outside the city. The consequences are serious.

But hiding the property in the city is even more risky. From the very beginning, Hu Yun and Dong An decided that they had to leave the city overnight and transport the property out of the city at all costs.

Fifty big men jumped onto the boat, Hu Yun waved his hand, and the fleet set off, sailing towards the Qiantang River several miles outside the city.

The fleet was traveling along the Cao River. At this time, the drums to close the city gates had already sounded. Although Lin'an did not have a curfew, the city gates must be closed at night. Before the drums to close the city gates stopped, ten large ships arrived at the city. the door.

There was a boat in front of it that was being questioned and blocked the river. Several soldiers came and shouted, "Close the city gate immediately, and all the boats behind will stop. We won't let you go. You can leave the city tomorrow morning."

Everyone looked at Hu Yun, and Hu Yun said decisively: "Rush out!"

The boatman on the leading boat slammed into the pole, the boat accelerated, and rushed straight to the city gate, "Boom! The bow of the ship collided with the ship being inspected, and the other ship shook violently. Two soldiers were caught off guard and fell into the water from the ship.

The other soldiers hurriedly pulled the two soldiers ashore. Just as they were about to curse, they saw dozens of crossbow arrows pointed at them. The soldiers turned around and fled in fright, "Quickly report to the general and close the sluice gate!"

The ships blocking the road in front were pushed out, the river was empty, and large ships sailed out of the water city gate. At this time, the iron gate sluice above began to rumble down. After two sluices fell, one after another large ships sailed out of the city gate. The ships behind watched the fleet leave, but no one dared to follow suit.

The fleet had traveled less than three miles, and there was a checkpoint in front of them, which was dedicated to inspecting taxes and contraband. Wei Yanzong was also prepared to plant the flag of Zhang Jun Trading Company on every large ship. All checkpoints dare not intercept and interrogate.

But there are always exceptions, especially when many things you don't want it to happen, it often happens.

Today's checkpoint has a new chief officer. Of course, he didn't take office just today, he took office three days ago, but this is the first time he has encountered Zhang Jun's fleet.

Seeing that the soldiers were about to let go without interrogation, the sentry officer was furious, stepped forward and scolded: "What's going on? Are you going to let them go without interrogation?"

An old soldier pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "Third Lord, this is Zhang Dushuai's ship, and there will be accidents in the interrogation. We have never interrogated it, and it has been many years."

"Zhang Jun?"

"Exactly, his family's flag can be seen at a glance."

The sentry officer's face sank and said: "That kind of flag can be obtained anywhere, how do you know it's not a fake?"

"Third Master, no one dares to pretend to be Zhang's boat, unless they are tired of life."

"No, I haven't dealt with any Zhang family fleet, and they haven't greeted me, they treat me equally, go up and check with me, let them show the tax bill, and if they can't come up with the tax bill, they will detain the ship!"

Reluctantly, seven or eight soldiers came forward with lanterns to question them, but when they got closer, they found that the big man on the boat pointed a crossbow at them.

The soldiers turned around and fled in shock. The sentry officer was furious and beat the soldiers with a whip, "Let me go up and check!"

At this time, Wei Yanzong faintly heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and pursuers were coming. He raised his hand and shot an arrow, which hit the sentry officer's thigh. The sentry officer screamed, took two steps back, and fell on his back.

The big ship rushed directly to the checkpoint, 'Crack! 'The wooden pole on the water was broken, and the fleet broke through the checkpoint and sailed to the Qiantang River two miles away.
