Chapter six hundred and fiftieth
The eunuch in charge knew that Cao Huachun had already told several big merchants about borrowing the money, and had also chosen the beads, but he did not dare to say too much about this matter to prevent something from happening. He bowed and said, "It has been handed over to Fengyu Cao Huachun."
King Xin looked at the eunuch in charge with dissatisfaction and said, "Summon Cao Huachun."
Cao Huachun hurried over and bowed down when he saw King Xin.
King Xin had a good impression of this eunuch with a good knowledge and said, "Get up and talk."
Cao Huachun thanked him. When he heard what King Xin asked him, he immediately replied: "Report to your highness, I have found two merchants to borrow money. It has been cleared, but their bank deposit is difficult to dispatch, and I have to wait a few more days."
When King Xin heard this, he said anxiously: "In a few days, Wei Zhongxian's birthday will be celebrated. Except for the Donglin lineage, the capital is preparing gifts. Don't delay it."
Cao Huachun didn't dare to make a promise, so he had to say vaguely: "The merchant has promised to pay the silver before the date expires, so it should be impossible to make a mistake."
"Oh, ah." King Xin stamped his feet and said, "Why can't this be done well."
"By the way," said Xin Wang: "I don't like that and Yusheng, but I heard that there are many big businesses in the capital and money houses that lend money all year round. Why don't you go to them to try it?"
Cao Huachun felt a bitter feeling when he heard this. He looked at the eunuch in charge, but the other party had no expression on his face. He had to fabricate it: "Go back to your highness, some shops with Yusheng bully customers. I'll go find them. They said they wanted the prince to write an IOU before lending the loan. This is simply ridiculous. I didn't dare to agree."
"Damn it, are you bullying me like this?" King Xin was furious when he heard this. His fair face turned red. He stood in front of the door with trembling all over, looking to the west, and after a while, he said: "Very good. As long as I have a little chance, I will repay the humiliation today!"
...
"Look at this matter," said the eunuch in charge to Cao Huachun: "It's a good thing to mess with this."
Cao Huachun was much calmer at this time. He said, "He Yusheng's family has great business and Wei Zhongxian is behind him. Even if the prince becomes an adult country in the future, he will have no choice but to treat them. This matter has not happened."
"He usually scolds He Yusheng," said the eunuch helplessly: "Who knew that when he was anxious, he remembered to find someone. Who could have thought of this?"
Cao Huachun also smiled bitterly. King Xin's thoughts are indeed difficult to understand. Judging from this matter, he is anxious when encountering problems, seeking medical treatment in a hurry, and has no sense in his heart, and is prone to wavering. Such a master is really difficult to serve. King Xin is anxious now, and if he wants to use He Yusheng at the beginning, he may be scolded by King Xin. Fortunately, he has not been involved in this matter. He Yusheng may be unlucky in the future. Who said they are now a famous merchant in the capital and have a bank loan? King Xin will remember to borrow money from them. Even if he is not in a hurry to give gifts to Wei Zhongxian, the expenses of the royal family may still be so expensive...
Thinking of this, Cao Huachun felt a lot of relief. After all, he felt a little sorry for others. This time he had a lot of tricks from He Yusheng. Fortunately, King Xin was just a prince and had no power. Cao Huachun was not worried that he could really do anything. It would be better that the matter would be done like this, and it would be best to be calm.
...
The body of the carriage finally stopped after shaking. A member of an operation team jumped off the horse first and looked at the small building on the left. Seeing a handkerchief hanging on the windowsill, he nodded and said to the car: "Nothing is wrong."
Han Tong then jumped out of the carriage and came down with another man with Ixon.
This is a large mansion in Dongcheng, a two-entrance courtyard bought by a retired Beijing official. It is close to the gate of the imperial city. Such a small courtyard is expensive, much more expensive than the three-entrance courtyard in the south of the city. Wang Faxiang used 2,000 silver dollars to buy it. The place here is large and can be used to do some secret activities, such as short-term detention and torture. The best thing is that it is less than a hundred steps away from the Central City Military and Ma Si. No one would have thought that it was a secret base of an intelligence organization in such a place.
"I can't say anything." After arriving at the basement, Ixon's face turned pale, but his eyes were still very firm.
Wang Faxiang smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when you get through a round."
"I am a hero..." Ixon was pressed to the ground before he finished speaking. Han Tong and others skillfully began to prepare waterboards. After the clear water was poured into Ixon's mouth and nose, the man heard a very familiar whimpering sound from Han Tong and others. Bubbles spewed out of their nostrils and trembled violently. This was the struggle before death.
When Han Tong and others let Ixon help him up, the man's expression was no longer as stubborn as before. The terrible part of waterboarding was not the pain, but the painful method of suffocation made people feel that death was near. Although people like Ixon would not be afraid of death, they were ultimately very afraid and fearful. The so-called great fear between life and death, no one can withstand torture again and again.
In addition, suffocation is also very painful, you can tell from what Ixon looks like now.
"One more round." Wang Faxiang did not ask questions. After many tortures, he had rich experience. Although Ixon looked different from just now, he was still far from completely surrendering.
"Give me aside..." After the second round, a man like Ixon couldn't help sobbing. He asked him to have fun and not to torture him again.
After the third round, Ixon already said everything, and he really couldn't stand it anymore.
Wang Faxiang ignored it and asked for another round.
After four rounds, Ixon had completely collapsed and knelt at Wang Faxiang's feet. Wang Faxiang knew that at this time, he would ask the Jurchens to lick their toes, and this guy would do it without hesitation.
Of course he wouldn't really ask this person to do this, just know the information.
...
The assassination failed, and Ixon and others had no news to give back. Wang Deli felt that he was not very safe. He planned to leave the capital immediately and avoid the limelight.
After the changes in the past two years, the Later Jin Dynasty's spy network in the capital had almost completely collapsed. It started operating in the Wanli period, and it reached its peak in the late Wanli period. Wang Deli was also sent here at that time. After lurking in the capital for a period of time, after settled down, the Later Jin Dynasty successfully operated. Wang De used the money to buy a position as a clerk of the Ministry of War. From the Later Jin Dynasty, He transformed from the Later Jin Dynasty to the officer of the Ministry of War, and also sent useful information to Liaodong in this position. A few years later, he went from a captured Han civilian to the head of the spy network in the capital, and was repeatedly received by Liaodong.
The praises there. Now the situation is reversed, and Wang Deli feels that he is in trouble. For two years, his subordinates have been arrested and killed. The intelligence network is on the verge of collapse. This action is the last move, and it ends up completely failing. Wang Deli dared not stay in the capital, but he did not dare to go back to Liaodong at all. Who knows what is waiting for him after he goes back? He decided to avoid him in Baoding or Dezhou Linqing area. There are dense crowds there. Not to mention that it is difficult for the Later Jin Dynasty to find him, even if the imperial court is accusing criminals, it is very difficult to find him in such a place.
Wang Deli did not ask the servant to do it, so he hid in the study and burned some secrets, then packed the gold, silver and fine materials, and made them into a small bag, and carried them with him.
When he pushed the door out, Wang Deli looked back in a daze, remembering that he was picked by Li Yongfang in the bitter and cold place in Liaodong, and answered Chinese style by himself, and was appreciated and favored. After training for a period of time, he was sent to the capital. It was the 47th year of Wanli. It had been many years since the trance.
"Master, the carriage is called."
"Oh, okay." Wang Deli said calmly, saying that he was going to go out for a long trip to do business. The servants at home didn't know the truth. After pushing the door out, a short and strong man drove a beautiful carriage. Wang Deli recognized it at a glance and said, "Hey, is it He Yusheng's carriage?"
"That's right." The short and strong man smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is very lucky. Our shopkeeper is going to Dezhou to do something. Seeing that the people from your mansion are looking for a carriage, let's make a good relationship. Mr. Wang can leave with the carriage at least."
Wang Deli looked inside the car and seemed to be a shopkeeper in the shop with Yusheng on Zhengyangmen Street, but he did not show up often, unlike Liu Ji and Li Guobin, who are very famous in the capital.
The carriages of Heyusheng, such as manned carriages, do not conduct business in the capital, are already very famous in Xuanda. There are a large number of carriages among the county and guards, each carriage can transport eight to ten people. They charge fees depending on the distance. It is safe and comfortable. Merchants are the main force in riding cars, and some gentry and ordinary people who need to go out will choose to ride cars. I heard that the carriage business is quite profitable, but it is far inferior to other businesses of Heyusheng. Heyusheng does this just to promote the circulation and prosperity of the place as much as possible. The most important reason is to serve the core areas that it controls, and to promote the image of Heyusheng in Xuanda.
In the capital, the carriages were given to the nobles and eunuchs who had close ties with He Yusheng at first. After opening up the market and gaining reputation, they started to be sold. Because the price is not expensive, even if you can buy such carriages in places like the capital, there are only a few people who can afford it.
Wang Delilu thought about it and felt that there was not much suspicion. He Yusheng was a famous businessman in the capital. He always acted low-key and rarely involved with the government. He had Wei Zhongxian behind him and never bullied others with power. It was common for him to take guests along the way. In addition, his status as an official of the Ministry of War is worthy of getting a deal. He Yusheng was also strange. He was very good at being a dealer with the noble eunuchs and military officials, but he was always inconsistent with civil officials. Instead, he worked hard on the minor officials in various yamen such as the Six Ministry and were willing to spend money to get a deal.
"Thank you, I'm up." Wang Deli spoke with a serious accent from Zunhua, bowed to thank him, and with a hint of proud look of the Ministry of War officials-
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family.
As a writer, seeing that the monthly ticket rankings are bleak, of course, I have to ask for a monthly ticket. You don’t have to give mooncakes, just monthly tickets.
