Chapter 62
"It's a pity that the ship of treasures came out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's belly." Chen Xun sighed to himself.
"What kind of ship of treasure?" A soft question came from beside him.
Chen Xun turned around and saw that it was Chen Qin.
"When did you come in? Didn't you ask you to study hard? Why did you come here after class?"
During this period of time, Chen Qin had basically figured out Chen Xun's personality and knew that this little official could not tell the character of men, but he still had a great tolerance for women. At least, he had a great tolerance for himself.
"I've been here for a while. You've been focusing on reading the official documents and haven't noticed me."
"Have you finished your homework?" Chen Xun asked pretending to be stern. The girl became more and more presumptuous in front of her, but it just happened to fit her personality at her age.
It is probably because I dared to do this because I had the support of Chen’s father and mother behind me.
"I've finished it a long time ago. I've finished it in the classroom after class." Chen Qin stuck out her tongue.
"It seems that the teacher has given too little lessons, so I want them to assign more." Chen Xun frightened.
"No! There are already a lot of them, I do it without rest after class." Chen Qin hurriedly made up for it, worried that she would cause trouble for her classmates.
Because Chen Qin had no foundation before, she now went to school with children four or five years younger than her. Those children did not have her self-discipline, so she naturally felt relaxed.
"If you think it's simple, just learn by yourself. You can apply for the entrance exam in advance and then skip the grade. Don't go to class with a bunch of kids all day long, and you're still enjoying it." Chen Xun criticized.
"A woman has no talent and virtue. What do I do if I learn so much?" Chen Qin muttered.
"No, who told you? Don't let me hear such words again!" This sentence made Chen Xun really angry.
Seeing that Chen Xun was really angry, Chen Qin didn't dare to talk stubbornly and quickly admitted her mistake.
"I understand."
The concubine here does not mean that Chen Qin is Chen Xun's concubine, but the women of this era claim to be themselves, and those who are a little older will claim to be "concubine".
The humble claim that blurted out shows that she was really scared.
"If you really want to follow me in the future, you have to study hard. I won't accept that my wife is a fool who knows nothing." Chen Xun realized that she was still young, so he changed to a motivated way to educate him.
"I must study hard, but you have to let me continue to clean the room for you." Chen Qin pouted and held back the tears in her eyes.
"Okay!" Chen Xun understood that this was her last stubbornness, which was also in line with her courage to boldly point out her own courage that day.
"Thank you, my husband." Chen Qin burst into tears and smiled, bowed and ran out.
Cai Jing's death reminded Chen Xun of one thing: Cai Jing was one of the six thieves, and the six thieves basically died within one year, and they all died at the hands of Zhao Huan, the current Song Dynasty official family.
Tong Guan, one of the six thieves, was also demoted to the south and was sentenced to death when he was about to reach his destination. He doesn't remember exactly where it was, but this news is easy to investigate. As long as he found out the destination where he was demoted and followed along, he will have the opportunity to obtain the treasure that Tong Guan carried with him.
If Cai Jing could bring a boat of treasure, Tong Guan should be nowhere short of it.
You should know that Tong Guan’s Shengjie army was all the young soldiers he recruited in the west, all of which belonged to his guards, and he was all supported by him for his own money.
How rich an official can afford to support tens of thousands of private soldiers.
"Come here, come and find Lu Hui." Chen Xun ordered the guard outside the door.
"yes!"
Chenjiazhuang is very small, and Lu Hui rushed over quickly.
"I have one thing here..." Chen Xun first introduced the context of the whole thing to Lu Hui: "I concluded that Tong Guan would definitely die. If he died, the treasure he carried with him would definitely be divided up by other officials like Cai Jing."
"What are your plans?" Lu Hui asked.
"I just wondered if we could rob him first."
"This..." Lu Hui felt that this idea was too crazy: "He is the former prime minister. If he doesn't die, the revenge will be enormous."
"What are you afraid of? We are now standing opposite to Song Ting. Are we afraid of establishing another former husband who is about to be buried?" Chen Xun slapped the table: "What's more, as long as we don't vent our own identity, who knows that we were robbed?"
"That's right."
"The expenses in Chenjiazhuang are too great now. You are building walls and moving workshops, and spending money everywhere, but the way to make money is narrower. This treasure is very important to our Chenjiazhuang." During this period, Chen Xun felt dizzy when he looked at the accounts every day. If he hadn't known that he was doing serious business, Chen Xun would have suspected that he was a prodigal son.
The money I made in the past ten years can only last for one year at the current spending rate.
“What are you going to do?”
"It's not what I plan to do, I plan to leave this to you, so it should be what you plan to do." Chen Xun said.
"Me?" Lu Hui couldn't believe it. This was too challenging.
"Who do you think is suitable except you?" Chen Xun asked back,
Lu Hui passed all the heads of Chenjiazhuang in his heart, and felt that they were a little unreliable. Sun Zheng was quite suitable, but he needed to step up the training of the horse army and would definitely not be able to leave.
"I won't do this." Lu Hui said helplessly.
"The principle of robbery on the road and robbery on the sea is basically the same. I ask Ke Lei to send you some capable subordinates, and you can pick some clever ones from the personal guards and infantry. If you encounter any problems, it is not difficult to rob a demoted official. " Chen Xun began to come up with an idea: "I don't know how Tong Guan's treasure is transported through. If you bring elite troops of the water and land teams, you will definitely be sure to be prepared for both hands."
"How many people do I want to bring?" Lu Huisuan took on this task.
"There are people in both cities, the more people, the better." Chen Xun replied, there were only two hundred people in both cities.
"But if I take away the two people, Chenjiazhuang will have even less guarding power. How can I face the next encirclement of the officers and soldiers?"
"The next encirclement of officers and soldiers is not so easy to organize. The last time the 4,000 people were defeated, and this time it will have to exceed 4,000. With just Guangzhou, you will definitely not be able to come out so many people." Chen Xun explained: "If you want the Guangnan East Road Pacifier to send troops, the Song Ting official must nod. This order will be repeated, plus the time to discuss and organize, you should be back."
"Okay, then I'll go and go back quickly. But you have to give me the follow-up information in time, otherwise I will be distorted and I don't know where to go to Tong Guan."
"Don't worry, you can get back in the road first, and you can get back in three days at most."
It is not in vain that Chen Xun has been persistent in investing funds in intelligence agencies for so many years, and with Xue Ge as a communication tool, Chenjiazhuang's intelligence transmission speed is definitely cross-age.
"Okay, I'll prepare tonight and set off tomorrow."
