Chapter 206: Calm and strange officials(1/3)

Under Gu Dayong's urging, the soldiers of Tengxiang Right Guards who were rushing toward the dock moved a little faster.

On the long street, because there were soldiers taking the lead to clear the way, the team of Gu Dayong and others were rushing towards the dock at an extremely fast speed.

But Gu Da made such a big noise, not only the people could notice it, but some officials also noticed it.

In fact, the soldiers of Tengxiang's right guard were too obvious, which attracted the attention of some officials.

Especially when the soldiers of Tengxiang Right Guards left the military camp, what happened to the large vehicles was the key.

The most lively thing circulating among the officials these past two days was that the millions of taels of silver that had been confiscated were about to enter the capital.

Many officials knew that under Yang Tinghe's arrangement, the Ministry of Revenue was ready to receive the money, and would send it to the national treasury as soon as the money entered Beijing.

Even some of the officials were heading towards the dock. When they saw Gu Dayong leading the soldiers from the Tengxiang Youwei Battalion and so many carts heading towards the dock, they had no choice but to

Let these officials come up with ideas.

"Is Gu Dayong trying to steal money?"

If it were anyone else, those officials might not think so. The key is Gu Dayong's identity, so some officials can't help but think too much.

As the chief steward of the Royal Horse Supervisor, Gu Dayong was in charge of the emperor's inner treasury. In other words, Gu Dayong was the chief steward of the emperor's inner treasury.

The emperor had planned to put the money into the inner treasury. News spread wildly in the past two days, but Gu Dayong, the great steward of the inner treasury, did not make any movement, so many people subconsciously put Gu Dayong into the inner treasury.

Ignored.

But now, when they saw Gu Dayong leading the Tengxiang Right Guard Camp and so many large vehicles, these people realized that Gu Dayong clearly wanted to take the money away with actual actions.

.

This is to do important things quietly. When did Gu Da use this old eunuch become so insidious?

Even a fool can imagine that if the silver fell into Gu Da's hands and was sent to the inner treasury, it would not be that easy for the emperor to take it out.

At that time, Emperor Xiaozong valued the preferential treatment of all his ministers, but every time he wanted Emperor Xiaozong to withdraw money from the inner treasury to replenish the national treasury, all the important ministers had to talk to Emperor Xiaozong for a long time.

Today, Emperor Xiaozong is no easier to talk to. It is conceivable that if it really falls into the inner treasury, then this money and the court will also be missed.

"Quickly, we must tell the elders that Gu Dayong took people to the dock to grab money."

When an official reacted, he didn't care about his manners and just jumped into the alley.

On the long street, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others were heading towards the pier, and Yang Tinghe was talking to Li Dongyang in a low voice at the moment.

Behind a few people, hundreds of officials and clerks had gathered. With so many people so aggressive, even the Jin Yiwei colleagues would have to be honest when they saw them.

At this moment, on the long street ahead, an official was running like crazy. It was the official who had seen Gu Dayong leading people towards the pier before.

Chai Fangnai is a member of the Ministry of Industry. Although his rank is not high, he is still an official among the six ministries. At this moment, all Chai Fang wants to do is to inform the cabinet about Gu Dayong as soon as possible.

.

Suddenly, Chai Fang's eyes widened when he caught a glimpse of the group of people in front of him, with a look of shock and surprise on his face.

He was originally worried that even if he spread the news to the cabinet, it would be too late.

But he never expected that he would meet several cabinet elders on this long street, especially there were many officials behind them.

Just looking at this posture, Chai Convenience couldn't help but guess that with such a huge momentum, the officials had already gotten the news that Gu Dayong had brought people to snatch the money, and were they ready to stop Gu Dayong?

Thinking of this, Chai Fang showed a bit of joy on his face. With several elders taking action, it would be impossible for Gu Dayong to steal the money.

Among the officials, officials from the Ministry of Industry are naturally indispensable.

I heard a doctor from the Ministry of Industry say in surprise: "Hey, isn't this Chai Fang? What happened to him? He was running wildly on the long street."

As an official, he usually pays great attention to his appearance, so when they saw Chai Fang running wildly, some officials looked at Chai Fang.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Chai Fang and frowned slightly.

At this time, Chai Fang had already arrived in front of a group of people. He bowed his hands to Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and several others and said, "Your Majesty, Chai Fang has met all the elders and gentlemen."

As he spoke, Chai Fang said with a bit of excitement: "You sirs, I think you are here to stop Gu Dayong from robbing the money."

Chai Fang's words were actually more of a kind of excitement. He said it casually and was about to walk into the team of officials behind Yang Tinghe and others to head to the dock together.

But as soon as he said those words, Yang Tinghe and others couldn't help but change their expressions.

Especially Yang Tinghe paused, looked at Chai Fang and said solemnly: "Chai Fang, what did you say? What's the use of grain, what's the matter of robbing money?"

Chai Fang, who was about to walk into the official team, turned around subconsciously when he heard this, looked at Yang Tinghe with some confusion and said: "Didn't you guys know that Gu Dayong was going to steal the money, so you rushed to stop Gu Dayong?"

Is it used?"

After hearing Chai Fang's words, Yang Tinghe and others' hearts trembled. Now after hearing Chai Fang's words, Yang Tinghe and others' expressions suddenly changed.

Staring at Chai Fang, Yang Tinghe said slowly: "You said Gu Dayong took people to the dock to grab money?"

Chai Fang nodded and said: "Not long ago, I happened to see Gu Dayong leading Tengxiang Right Guards and heading towards the pier with many large cars. I thought Gu Dayong must be trying to capture the people."

The money was taken away, so I was so anxious to tell you the news that I ran all the way."

After speaking, Chai Fang added: "Fortunately, I met all of you adults..."

This time Yang Tinghe didn't wait for Chai Fang to finish his words, and directly shouted angrily with a gloomy face: "Gu Dayong, how dare you!"

Saying that, Yang Tinghe walked away towards the pier. As for Mr. Ge's demeanor, how could he care so much at this time? If he had gone too late, Gu Dayong might have already taken all the money with him.

It was snatched away.

Not only Yang Ting and the other officials stopped Chai Fang's words one by one, but when they learned that Gu Dayong actually led people to rob the silver, they were immediately filled with indignation and boundless anger arose in their hearts.

What a good guy, Gu Dayong. He didn't expect that there was no movement before, but he was holding back his bad intentions. He actually led his troops to grab the silver and asked them if they had heard of it.

On the pier, the servants brought by the Ministry of Revenue were leaning against the carriage one by one.

Originally, it was said that there would be work soon after arriving here. Most of these servants help the household department to move money and food, and they have long been accustomed to starting work when the time comes.

But like this time, the ship carrying silver was already docked at the pier, but the other party refused to move, and even killed an official from the Ministry of Revenue, which shocked all the officers.

A slight vibration came, and the ground shook slightly. Many people heard the movement and looked directly in the direction of the movement.

At first glance, many of the guards showed astonishment.

I saw a group of soldiers and horses driving large vehicles in the distance. Looking at their posture, they seemed to be rushing towards the dock. Looking at the large vehicles again, some people vaguely understood that these large vehicles were coming.

The purpose of the car coming.

Gu Da took the lead with one horse, and at the same time, a group of soldiers directly drove away the servants brought by the Ministry of Household Affairs and appeared on the dock at an extremely fast speed.

Gu Dayong boarded the big boat in a few steps, and Du Guang, who was on the big boat, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Dayong arriving.

"Manager Gu, you are finally here! If you don't come again, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the money."

Du Guang was not exaggerating. He could establish his authority with an ordinary official in the household department, but if a cabinet minister or an important minister of the court came, how could he be able to chop him down with a single blow?

At this moment, Gu Dayong arrived in time, and Du Guang felt that the mountain of pressure on him finally disappeared.

Hearing this, Gu Dayong smiled and said: "Du Qianhu has worked hard, and he will be handed over to our family next."

Du Guang's expression became serious when he heard this. He took out a thick account book from his arms and said, "Manager Gu, this is the bill for the confiscated silver, property, gold, silver, jewelry, etc. that was carried on the ship. I would like to ask Manager Gu to check it."

Gu Dayong said directly: "It's not too late to transport the things into the inner warehouse and then check them. Maybe by now Yang Ting and those people will know about our family bringing people here."

As he spoke, Gu Da waved his hand, and groups of soldiers immediately began to board the ship and use tools to quickly transfer the gold and silver boxes loaded on the ship to the carriages on the dock.

Gu Dayong personally watched the shipping boxes on the dock. Whenever a carriage was loaded, Gu Dayong would directly order people to transport the boxes away.

As the carriages left one after another, the money on the ship was being transferred at an extremely fast speed.

Almost half an hour later, a horse suddenly galloped over, shouting as he ran: "General manager, here we come, the people from the cabinet are here."

Gu Dayong, who was sitting there, heard the shouting and immediately stood up, with a somewhat solemn look on his face.

He looked at Du Guang and said, "Du Qianhu, how much money has been transferred?"

Du Guang made a silent calculation in his mind and said: "Back to the general manager, almost half of it has been transported away, and there are still more than a million taels left."

Gu Dayong couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, but when he thought that Yang Tinghe was leading people to kill him, he immediately turned to Du Guang and said: "Du Qianhu, you leave the Jin Yiwei people to keep an eye on them, and then you return immediately.

Jinyiwei Yamen, don’t leave Jinyiwei Yamen until brother Li Huan comes back.”

When he said this, Gu Dayong's face became solemn and he said: "Although he is just a household official, the other party is still an official of the imperial court. I am afraid that these people will vent their anger on you after losing their money.

Come on."

Du Guang is not a fool. When he killed the household official, he knew that the officials would not let him go so easily. Gu Dayong asked him to hide in the Jinyiwei Yamen and not come out. This was also the response he had planned.

Of the policy.

The Jinyiwei Yamen is their Jinyiwei's territory. As long as Jinyiwei doesn't agree, no one can enter the Jinyiwei Yamen and take him.

After cupping his hands at Gu Dayong, Du Guang immediately said: "In that case, I will resign now."

Yang Tinghe and others are coming soon. If he stays here, he may not be able to leave.

Gu Dayong nodded, watching Du Guang disappear into the distance, with a slight smile on his lips, and suddenly said not far away: "Brother Ma, since you are here, why don't you come over."

It turned out that Gu Dayong had noticed Ma Yongcheng and the others not far away.

Ma Yongcheng stepped forward with a smile, looked at Gu Dayong and said: "Manager Gu Dayong, you have hidden it so well that you even hid it from His Majesty. You don't know what His Majesty has been doing these days to deal with the money.

Everyone is worried."
