Return of the Swallow

What is the concept of three million taels of silver?That is the amount that a team of 1.5 million people will consume for a year.

How many people are there in the Ping Southern Army?Although the Pingnan Army is known as one hundred thousand, it can be counted up to the full. Even the chores who send vegetables and cook food are counted. Now it is less than one hundred thousand.

A hundred thousand people, less than a year, spent fifteen times the silver, where did it go?

Pang Xiao squinted slightly to look at the treasurer Liu of the four-way in front of him.

This person is of medium stature, not confused at the end of the year, and has a good appearance. He is a gentleman with a gentle temperament. He is not like a shopkeeper at all, but like a teacher.

This person has a pair of too bright and wise eyes, and the cleverness in the eyebrows cannot be concealed.Pang Xiao's ability to know people is not bad, and he quickly concluded in his heart that this person is by no means a simple shopkeeper.

So, what is the reason why the owner of the Stone Cross ordered such a person to come to him to collect debts?

Why did the Four-way easily lend the silver to Lu Zhang, who was born in the land, or the large amount of three million taels of silver?

Why did Lu Zhang become so sick again? Is it really just to shirk responsibility?

If there are no tricks, Pang Xiao would never believe it.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The relationship between the Stone and Lu Zhang needs to be considered, and the purpose of the Stone needs to be carefully investigated.

There were countless thoughts in my mind, but the face was just breathing.

Shopkeeper Liu heard Pang Xiao’s words clearly, and Dui smiled and said: "Master Lu is dedicated to the court. Our treasurer was moved by Master Lu’s sincere heart, and only then did he agree to borrow money. Two times before and after, Adding up to three million taels of silver, I think that the lives of lieutenants in the army will also be improved, and they will be more combative when they encounter foreign enemies. Although our chief treasurer is a merchant, we also care about the country and care about the people most. It's safe."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Liu changed his words, and his words were full of helplessness and bitterness: "However, it was easy to borrow money at the beginning, but it was difficult to pay back the money. The first time our great treasurer asked for the money, Lord Lu Said that the situation in the army was too tense and couldn't get it out for a while, so I had to wait for the first batch of money to come down. And once again borrowed a second sum from our big shopkeeper.

"Our big shopkeeper is very enthusiastic, thinking that the Ping Nan Army is here, and the amount of money is so large, the court will never be greedy for the money of our ordinary merchants.

"But who knows that afterwards, the shopkeeper ordered many people to urge several times before and after, and the Ping Nan Army still did not respond, and even a little bit of excuse. Until now, Xiaomin is really shy because there is no way. Look for you, the lord, with a face.

"The prince has a high position and is the new head coach of the Pingnan Army. Not to mention his position in the army and in the eyes of the saint. If it is the prince, there must be a way to get the money to pay back."

Qin Yining and Pang Xiao both listened quietly. Shopkeeper Liu is a person who does not leave the slightest loophole in his speech, and his biggest characteristic is that no matter how urgent things are, his voice will not be raised by half when he speaks. The voice of the vice-voice and discussion.

Qin Yining felt that the origin of this person may be really not simple, it is definitely not what he said, but just an ordinary treasurer.

Therefore, there must be some secret between the Stone and Lu Zhang.This time they had clearly dug a trap to give Pang Xiao a jump, and Pang Xiao was now planning to fall into the trap.

It's even harder to agree to this repayment.

But the problem is that Pang Xiao is now the coach of the Pingnan Army.Ping Nan Army’s major and minor affairs must be managed by Pang Xiao. If Pang Xiao does not advocate repaying this sum of money, this four-pass number will definitely promote Pang Xiao’s borrowing money and not repaying it. Then, where does Pang Xiao’s decentness exist ?

However, there is indeed a problem with this silver. Either Lu Zhang is greedy for ink, or Lu Zhang colludes with STO. STO has not lent as much silver to Lu Zhang, and Lu Zhang's IOU voucher was completed in private. of.

In this way, don't you just let others just say what they want?

Pang Xiao thought the same as Qin Yining, but Qin Yining could not easily interject on this occasion.

She looked at Pang Xiao anxiously, for fear that Pang Xiao would easily agree to such unreasonable things because of the responsibility.It doesn't make sense that the other party dug a trap for them, and they will suffer a lot of depression for various reasons such as morality.

Pang Xiao had already felt Qin Yining's sight at this time, but on this occasion, it was not appropriate to talk to Qin Yining.

The slender index finger tapped gently on the table top, and Pang Xiao smiled lightly: "Is the person writing the IOU the king?"

As soon as Shopkeeper Liu heard it, he understood in his heart.

He hurriedly said: "Of course the prince is not the person who wrote the IOU, but the prince is the person in charge here. Lord Lu is your subordinate, and you are responsible for everything your subordinates do."

When Pang Xiao heard this, his smile deepened, and he leaned forward and said, "You say that, it makes sense."

Shopkeeper Liu felt that Pang Xiao's tone was very weird. Although he was a little happy that Pang Xiao agreed with him and might agree to pay back the money, he still instinctively felt a little crisis, and even his body took a half step back unconsciously.

"It seems that the prince has decided to take responsibility."

Pang Xiao smiled and said: "You said that I am the commander of the Pingnan Army, and the person in charge of the Pingnan Army, so I should be responsible for everything my subordinates do. But it is the land of the king in the world. Could it be that the royal officials, whether it is you, me, or Master Lu, are all ministers of the sage, and they are all for the sake of the sage. Why don’t you go to the sage to pay back the money?"

Shopkeeper Liu's face rose suddenly and flushed.

Qin Yining lowered his head, and finally managed to control the smile on his lips.Forcing herself not to laugh out loud affects Pang Xiao's work.

Shopkeeper Liu became anxious, and said gradually: "Master, you can't say that. Master Lu borrowed money from our four-pass number at the beginning. It is absolutely true that Master Lu is no longer involved, and the four-pass number is loaned out. You can only be responsible for the repayment of your money, the Grand Marshal of Pingnan. If you insist on going to the Sage, wouldn’t you be suspected of shirk?"

"So you can see that this king is bucking." Pang Xiao stood up, pacing to the shopkeeper Liu with his hands.

Shopkeeper Liu was of medium height, but Pang Xiao was tall and strong. At this time, Pang Xiao wanted to see the look of Shopkeeper Liu, and even had to step back two steps and bend slightly.

Shopkeeper Liu anxiously said: "You can't do this! We were also for the sake of the country and the stability of the people, so we took out such a large sum of money to lend you all your urgent needs. But now your crisis is resolved, but it is If you want to pay the bill and not pay it back, is this a gentleman's doing? If it spreads to let the people know, how can you, the Pingnan Grand Marshal, gain a foothold?"

"Joke." Pang Xiao said with a sneer: "It's right to pay off debts, and that's true. But that's also the one who owes the money and who repays the money. Did I write your IOU by someone?"

"No, it's not..." Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but backed up two steps, even when he spoke, he was a little frightened by the terrifying aura on Pang Xiaozhou's body.

"Wherever you go for this matter, whoever writes the IOU will ask whoever asks for it, but if you think about it just now, don't you still have to enter the capital?

"When the time comes, you will say,'Your subjects owe the money and do not pay it back. As the king of a country, all the people are your courtiers. Naturally, you have to find a way for this money.' You think if you say that, Is he still alive?"

Shopkeeper Liu's brows were twisted together, "The prince also asks you to be careful."

Pang Xiao dared to say something to the sage, but shopkeeper Liu didn't have the courage and confidence of Pang Xiao.

Pang Xiao said: "Lu Zhang wrote the IOU, you just have to go with Lu Zhang to collect the debt. According to your reasoning, it won't work."

Shopkeeper Liu was blocked and speechless.Turning his eyes, he actually sobbed with his sleeve covering his face.

"How is this good! We are willing to borrow the silver money from the four-way number, also for the court. But now the court has let us down! The three million taels of silver is not a small sum at all. If we can't get it back, we Wouldn't it be a big loss?

"Is the imperial court doing things like this? You, the newly appointed Grand Marshal Pingnan, don't care about what your subordinates do. How can you call us people?"

Shopkeeper Liu's voice was sad, and he was very pitiful.Partially born with his elegant appearance, even so, it is not a bit boring.

Pang Xiao and Qin Yining looked at each other.

Qin Yining looked down and thought for a moment, and already had an idea in his heart.

"Don't cry anymore." The soft female voice interrupted the voice of Shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu followed the prestige and saw the Princess Zhongshun who had been sitting aside without speaking.

It is said that this woman is quite favored and respected in front of Prince Zhongshun. Today, Prince Zhongshun also treats guests with the princess, which shows that this woman is different from the ordinary women in the house, and she can speak in front of the prince.

As soon as the treasurer Liu moved his heart, he turned to salute Qin Yining.

"Princess, please don't blame it. The villain really has no other way. This large sum of money will not be recovered for a long time. Looking for Master Lu, Master Lu pushed it to the prince, and now he comes to beg the prince. Pushed to the Holy Spirit. This, this is simply embarrassing people."

With sympathy on her face, Qin Yining said indignantly: "I know your difficulties. Don't worry, we will investigate this matter. If it is true, we will definitely give you an explanation."

Shopkeeper Liu was taken aback when he heard the words, "You, are you serious?" He couldn't help looking at Pang Xiao's face.

Pang Xiao was obviously a little unhappy.But in front of him, he did not immediately refute the princess, obviously he loved the princess very much.

Shopkeeper Liu sighed that the hero was saddened by Beauty Pass, and even saluted Qin Yining again and again: "Thank you, princess, and princess, as long as you give this sentence, we will be at ease!"

Qin Yining smiled and calmed down the shopkeeper Liu, before serving tea to the guests.

After Shopkeeper Liu left briskly, Qin Yining got up and walked to Pan Xiao's side, "Did you just want to blast him out?"
