Chapter 73 Undercurrent in the second half of the night
Unexpectedly, after the testimonials are posted, there will be a public chapter!
-------------

At midnight, the bright moon in the dark night sky moved slightly to the east.In the four corridors outside the Zhengyang Gate, more than [-] people wearing dark clothes and with various color patterns painted on their faces to cover their faces are looking obliquely at the largest Ruixiang cloth shop in the capital from a distance.

One of them seemed impatient because he had been waiting for a long time. He approached the leader beside him and asked in a low voice:
"Captain, we were waiting here at the end of the Xu period, and now it's half past midnight, and we've been waiting for an hour and a half, and we haven't even seen a single person! The eunuch who came from the palace couldn't be making fun of us... ..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Before the man finished speaking, his team chief lowered his voice and stopped him, and then he said:
"The order brought by the angel is the meaning of His Majesty!
Eat the king's salary, take care of the king's worries, you have received far more than ordinary people's salary, so you have to take on this responsibility, and now you have never let you go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​​​fire, but just a little northwest wind at night, can't you bear it? "

Although he spoke plausibly and plausibly, the team couldn't help but muttered about the orders of their superiors.

There are two main points in this command:
One is to let him lead someone to carry the banknotes and go to the designated store. When he meets someone who is going to the store to buy banknotes, he will pretend to raise the price to snap up them. Buy and are willing to sell the treasure notes you bought;

Second, if the other party is not determined to purchase, they can repurchase part of the banknotes.

First of all, what he doesn't understand is that the curfew has already begun in the middle of the night, and there can be no extra people on the street except for watchmen; secondly, he has only heard of people begging for money to be exchanged. , but never heard that someone would take the initiative to buy treasure notes with silver!
Thinking of this, the team just lowered their heads, and their eyes just happened to fall on a piece of treasure in his hand; he immediately relaxed his hand, and after lightly twisting it with his fingers, he secretly spit in his heart——

Just this thing, let him use it to wipe his butt, it's a bit too hard!

That is to say, the eunuch in the palace, relying on the power of the emperor, can use it forcibly; if a commoner like him wants to use the treasure banknotes to buy fabrics at the Ruixiang in front of him, he will only end up being beaten out with sticks.

After sighing silently, the team was looking at the inner city wall not far away; he knew that some brothers in the police department of the Southern Yamen were sent into the inner city before the curfew.

Their task is the same as their own, which is to sell and buy precious banknotes; now it seems that colleagues who go into the inner city are quite boring.

Looking at it, the team realized that something was wrong. On the brick wall outside the inner city wall, something seemed to be sliding from top to bottom.

He shook his head, blinked hard again, and took a closer look.Finally, I realized that the thing seemed to be a huge basket, and it seemed that someone was sitting in it, and it was being lowered from the top of the city.

"Look over there," said the team in a low voice, leaning close to the ear of the subordinate who had just complained, "Look at the wall to the east of Guancheng, is there someone running down the city?"

The spy who was only considered as a first-class spy in the South Yamen of the Police Station was taken aback when he heard the whisper, and then looked in the direction pointed by the team leader, and saw someone "smuggling" into the city wall.

What is even more surprising is that after a person went down to the city in a basket, the matter did not end; A dozen people sneaked out.

The spy was clever, he didn't make a sound, but nodded slightly to show that he had seen clearly.

The leader of the team was well-informed, and immediately guessed that someone might have bribed the gatekeepers guarding the wall, so they could go down to the city one by one.

Although breaking the curfew is not considered a felony, the amount of money needed to bribe the guards and bring down a dozen people from the city wall is not small.

After thinking about it for a long time, the team leader still couldn't figure out why these people took the risk and went out of the city overnight.

Could it be that, as the eunuch said, someone really came to buy the precious banknotes?

The team leader, before he had time to deny the thoughts in his mind, found that the dozen or so people had gathered under the city wall for a while, and then they were walking towards Langfang Sitiao, as if they were going to Ruifuxiang cloth village.

Immediately, he acted cleverly, let out a low growl, and signaled the subordinates around him to be more vigilant, but he couldn't help but think in his heart:
Could it be that all of this was expected by the eunuch sent by the palace?
That's true, that calculation is too accurate.

Before he had time to think about it, the team leader had already issued an order to hide all his subordinates in the alley to avoid being seen; not long after hiding, the dozen or so people who were sent down from the inner city came to Bubu In front of the village gate, knock on the door.

The person who opened the door of Buzhuang didn't intend to let anyone in at all; under the shadow of each other, the actions of this group of people easily fell into the eyes of the team; I saw two important things clearly -

One is treasure notes, and the other is silver.

It's them!

After confirming his goal, the team leader immediately gave the order to act, and the people under him flocked to Ruixiang Buzhuang without any muddy water.

In the silent night, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, which would naturally make people turn their heads to look; a dozen people who were discussing something with the shopkeeper at the door of the cloth shop all turned their heads back after hearing the strange noise.

This group of people covered their faces with black scarves, so that people couldn't see their faces at all, and then the leader comforted the people behind him, and stepped forward, with a lot of arrogance in his words:
"I don't know what your Excellency is here for?"

After waiting for a long time, finally waiting for the right owner, this team is, suppressing the excitement in his heart, pretending to be calm and saying:
"I'm here to buy treasure notes."

"We have ordered all the banknotes in this shop, you should go elsewhere to have a look."

The voice was cold, and there was a hint of undeniable tone, which made people feel a little disgusted, but the captain ignored it and replied self-consciously:
"If I pay eight taels for every ten treasure notes, can you part with me..."

"Do not sell!"

Unexpectedly, the other party was also decisive and did not give any room for negotiation. Just in order to confirm its willingness to buy, the team added another sentence:
"Really not selling?
One or two banknotes are not sold? "

The voice of these words suddenly increased, causing the hearts of the dozen or so people who left the city to tense up. They couldn't help touching their waists, and their faces became a little more wary.

"You and I both know the general identity of the other party. There is no need to put on airs. You can't scare anyone. This business is about first-come, first-served. Your Excellency, please come back."

Knowing that the person in front of him said these words, he regarded himself as an off-line sent by a powerful family in the capital, so he said fiercely:
"The price of one tael is too high. You won't drive us away with a high price, and buy it at a low price later?"

After being so provoked, the leader of the dozen or so people had more contempt in his eyes, and he replied: "One or two treasure notes, I will accept as much as you have!"

As soon as these words came out, a thought came to the team's mind - this should be counted as the one with a strong willingness to buy?

After only a moment, the team made a decisive decision and decided to sell the treasure notes; then he pretended not to believe the one tael price and said that he was willing to sell.

When the other party directly took out the money, he "reluctantly" transferred the thousands of treasure notes he was carrying, earning thousands of taels with tears in his eyes!
At the same time as the transaction, he also pretended that he was unwilling in every possible way. If Li Yuntang was here, he would have to praise his excellent acting skills!

At the same time, the team president couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how did that brilliant angel sell the treasure at a higher price?
