Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 436

British Duke Zhang Mao left.

Liu Jin sent him out, and when he came back, Liu Jin put something in front of Zhu Houzhao, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, this is left before the British government left."

Zhu Houzhao reached out and picked up the things.

This is a large bank note, issued by the Daming Royal Bank, with a denomination of 100 million taels.

After glancing at it, Zhu Youxiao put the banknote back expressionlessly, then turned to Liu Jin beside him and asked, "Did the Englishman leave any words?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the British Duke said that his family collected a total of 70 taels, and the 30 taels are extra." Liu Jin bowed and said,

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said, "Is there anything else?"

"Go back to Your Highness, there's nothing left." Liu Jin said expressionlessly.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "Take a bank note of 30 yuan and send it to the British government. You go in person and tell the British government that the money that should be collected will be collected by the government, and the money that should not be collected will be collected by the government." Not going to."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Jin agreed, turned around and walked out.

Zhu Houzhao's meaning is obvious, the money that should be collected will be collected by Bengong, and the person who should be done will also be done by Bengong.

Zhang Mao left the 100 million taels of silver, which actually meant redemption.To put it bluntly, it is to ask Zhu Houzhao to let Zhang Heng go once.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't want the remaining 30 yuan, so the meaning here is very clear. I won't ask for this money, and I won't forgive Zhang Heng lightly. He can deal with it as he wants and follow the rules.

Six doors outside the yamen.

The British Duke Zhang Mao sat in the carriage expressionlessly.

Outside the carriage, Zhang Heng stood in pain, with some doubts on his face.

Seeing that the carriage hadn't left, Zhang Heng asked eagerly, "Uncle, what are we waiting for?"

"Waiting for news." Zhang Mao closed his eyes and said expressionlessly.

Not long after, a person came out from inside, it was Liu Jin.

He came to the front of the carriage and said with a smile: "The Duke has not left yet? It just so happens that His Royal Highness has something to tell the Duke."

At this time, Zhang Mao opened his eyes and was helped to get off the carriage.

After bowing and standing still, Zhang Maocai said, "Please tell me, father-in-law."

"His Royal Highness said that His Royal Highness will accept the money that should be taken by His Royal Highness; His Royal Highness will not accept money that should not be taken by His Royal Highness." As he spoke, Liu Jin took out a bank note and handed it to the British official Zhang. Mao said with a smile: "Here is a silver note of 30 taels, please accept it from the British public."

A look of disappointment flashed in Zhang Mao's eyes, but he still smiled and took the bank note, and then said, "Thank you, Eunuch."

"The Duke is polite." Liu Jin said with a smile, then cupped his hands and said goodbye: "If there is nothing else, then our family will go back first. His Royal Highness cannot do without people."

"Thank you, father-in-law." British Duke Zhang Mao cupped his hands and said.

Watching Liu Jin leave, the Duke of England sighed, and then put the bank note in his hand, without any intention of returning it to Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng, who was looking at it, was a little jealous.

"Uncle, is this His Highness the Crown Prince?" Zhang Heng asked hesitantly.

Although he really wanted to get back the 30 taels of silver, he really didn't dare to speak.

Glancing at Zhang Heng, Zhang Mao said helplessly, "His Royal Highness did not agree."

Saying that, Zhang Mao turned around and walked not far away.

Zhang Ji was standing there, and when he saw Zhang Mao coming, he bowed quickly.

Nodding his head, Zhang Mao said, "Handle the case well. Zhang Heng will leave it to you, and how to deal with it. Don't have other thoughts just because it's a family relationship."

"Since you are working under His Highness the Prince, you shouldn't have any other thoughts in your heart. Do you understand?" After speaking, Zhang Mao looked at Zhang Ji with a serious face.

"Don't worry, Duke, I understand." Zhang Ji agreed with a serious face.

Nodding in satisfaction, Zhang Mao turned around and walked over to the carriage.After getting into the carriage, he glanced at Zhang Heng and said, "Follow Zhang Ji!"

After saying this, Zhang Mao said to the coachman, "Let's go."

Zhang Heng was a little confused, looked hesitantly at the leaving carriage, then looked at Zhang Ji beside him, smiled awkwardly, and said with some pleading: "Uncle asked me to follow you, I don't know what to do. "

Glancing at Zhang Heng, Zhang Ji said, "No need to do anything."

Zhang Ji waved his hand behind him, and two guards from the six doors came up and directly held Zhang Heng down.

Zhang Ji waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "Go ahead."

Inside the six doors, Zhu Houzhao listened to Liu Jin's report, nodded expressionlessly, then stood up and stretched.

In the past few years, I have been more gentle with Xungui and Xunqi, so they have also bred some thoughts.This is not good, and it needs to be beaten at the right time, no matter who it is.

The relationship between the king and his ministers is very similar to that of husband and wife.Confucius once said a word, close is not inferior, far away is resentment.

Zhu Houzhao understood this very well.

If you are too close to them, they will be virtuous and not afraid of danger; if you are far away from them, they will be afraid of danger and not virtuous.So I have to beat it from time to time, and this time I just let myself take advantage of it.

"Go to Shuntian Mansion, tell Lin Pan about this case, and ask him to cooperate with the six gates to investigate." Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin.

"I won't stay here anymore, go back to the palace directly. You can go back to the palace after you go to Shuntian Mansion." After saying this, Zhu Houzhao walked out and got into the carriage directly.

In the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, Song Lin listened to his subordinate's report expressionlessly, and nodded in satisfaction.As long as you follow your own steps, you will soon be rewarded.

At this moment, a subordinate ran in and said eagerly: "General Banner, Commander-in-Chief is here."

Song Lin was a little confused, what was Zhang Ji doing at this time?
But he didn't dare to be negligent. This person is now his immediate boss, so he didn't dare to offend him.

He quickly stood up and went out to meet Zhang Ji. He soon saw Zhang Ji.There were quite a few people from the Six Doors behind Zhang Ji, and it seemed that all of them should be dispatched.

This startled Song Lin, could it be that his subordinates messed up the matter?

It shouldn't be, I have been staring at these things all the time, and nothing has gone wrong.

Or did Zhang Ji come to settle accounts with him?The Zhou family has such a great ability to let the British government do this?
Thinking of this, Song Lin's expression became serious. If this is really the case, I'm afraid he will not be kind today.

But even so, Song Lin was not prepared to back down, even if there was any dispute or quarrel with Zhang Ji, he would definitely not back down.If he flinches now, he will also be cleaned up.

"Please refer to Mr. Zhang for humble positions." After seeing Zhang Ji, Song Lin bowed and saluted.

Glancing at Song Lin, Zhang Ji said with a smile: "The errand was done well, and His Royal Highness already knows about it. Now follow me to see Lord Lin Pan."

After speaking, Zhang Ji let out Liu Jin who was beside him, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness sent someone over."

Seeing Liu Jin, Song Lin was a little surprised. He didn't expect His Royal Highness to send Liu Jin out.

You must know that this is the personal eunuch of His Royal Highness, who has been serving His Royal Highness all these years.

Although there are many more eunuchs beside His Royal Highness, this one's status has never been lost.Now that he is here, it means that His Royal Highness has given instructions.

Song Lin didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Eunuch Liu."

Liu Jin quickly said: "Don't be polite, we are all a family, you can come to the palace to find me if you have anything to do in the future." Then he said: "Now let's go to see Master Lin of Shuntian Mansion!"

Although Liu Jin said so, no one would take it seriously.

He is the person next to His Royal Highness, who can go to him?
Xungui is very clear about his own position, and he must not be confused with the civil servants, and they are members of the six sects, so they must not be confused with the eunuchs, otherwise His Royal Highness will be dissatisfied.

The group soon came to the back hall, where Lin Pan was already waiting.

The news of Liu Jin and Six Doors' arrival was naturally impossible to hide. Lin Pan knew that things were almost over, so he waited calmly here.

After seeing people coming in, Lin Pan smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu is a rare guest in our Shuntian Mansion."

"From then on, we will come here often." Liu Jin said with a smile, "I'm afraid it will be a villain by then."

"Shuntian Manor welcomes Eunuch Liu at any time." Lin Pan said with a smile, "It's just that Eunuch Liu is serving His Highness the Crown Prince, so I'm afraid he won't have time to come. I don't know if Eunuch Liu is here today, but what does His Highness have to say?"

Liu Jin conveyed Zhu Houzhao's words, and then said with a smile: "This is Zhang Ji, the command room of Six Doors, and he is in charge of this case. The word has already been passed on to our family. If there is nothing wrong, our family will leave now." .”

"I'll send someone to send Eunuch Liu off." Lin Pan said with a smile.

After Liu Jin left, Lin Pan looked at Zhang Ji and Song Lin, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are awesome young people, you two have done a good job. I just think the case is a bit strange, but I didn't expect there to be such a big secret. What I didn't expect was that the case was only entrusted to you in such a short period of time, and you have already investigated the case clearly, which is really remarkable."

"Since this is the case, I naturally have nothing to say. The whole Shuntian Mansion will cooperate with you to investigate this case. Song Lin, the third class of Yamen servants in Shuntian Mansion will be handed over to you, and you will handle it according to the rules of your six doors. You Don't worry, I will definitely keep my word, and I will write the title book later to ask for credit for you."

Zhang Ji said expressionlessly: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Lin. The case is urgent, and the officer will not be polite. I will take someone to arrest him, and the officer will leave."

As he spoke, he bowed his hands to Lin Pan, turned around and walked out.

Song Lin followed, but his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked very ugly.

He is not stupid, at this time he can naturally see that he has been tricked by Lin Pan, an old fox. This is a blow to him, and his self-confidence has been greatly damaged.
