Chapter 817 Want to Negotiate Conditions with His Majesty
In the inn, Nan Jiao simply drew Qin Jiaoxi's eyebrows a few times and trimmed the contours of her cheeks to slightly cover up her beautiful eyebrows.
With another change of hairstyle, Qin Jiaoxi became a handsome boy in the blink of an eye.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what happened today, and no one in the Divine Doctor Valley will know that we came to Shuocheng so quickly!"
After confirming that he had only been unconscious for two hours, Nan Jiao finally had a trace of curiosity on his dejected face.
But he didn't ask any further questions.
Just after Qin Jiaoxi disguised herself, she suddenly said: "Can I still call you junior sister?"
Qin Jiaoxi wanted to say no, but when she thought of her master's shadow in the space, her heart softened.
"If you want, do whatever you want!"
Don't blame her for not wanting to recognize Nanjiao, it's because he really doesn't look like a senior.
In other words, let's wait until he has completely let go of the Bai Zhi thing.
After everyone arrived in Shuocheng, they first found an inn to rest. Bo Jiming briefly changed his appearance, and then wandered around the Shang family's property in Shuocheng.
On the one hand, it is to collect information and see the situation in Zhaodu City. On the other hand, it is to contact Mr. Shang and ask Shang Hou to prepare an excuse in Zhaodu City so that he can use huge funds.
After all, large and generous use of funds can easily be discovered by local officials.
However, as soon as I went out for a walk and came back, my expression changed: "Xi'er, I may have to rush to Zhaodu City!"
Qin Jiaoxi didn't even think about pulling him: "I'll go with you!"
"No, the imperial capital city is very dangerous for you. The Holy One is looking for you everywhere!"
Qin Jiaoxi shook his head: "Aren't you the same? The thing that makes you want to go back in such a hurry must be the merchant's business, so I want to go back with you!"
"but……"
"Captain Chen can handle the matter of mobilizing the army, you don't need to worry about it!"
Bo Jiming knew that he could not defeat Qin Jiaoxi, so he had no choice but to compromise.
Then he turned around and handed the banknote in his hand to Chen Duwei.
"One-third of the banknotes have been collected, which is enough for Captain Chen to arrange the division of labor for 30,000 people in the next few days!"
"As for the rest, I'll bring it when I get back!"
"Remember, the banknotes must be exchanged in batches and cannot exceed 50,000 taels per day, otherwise the people in Zhizhou Prefecture will definitely know!"
"The exchange locations must cross each other. There are Shang's banks in the four surrounding towns. If you encounter a Shang's bank, you can directly use my waist card to go in and trade with the shopkeeper, but you can't exchange all the bank's silver in one go!"
"The remaining four banks, no matter which town, can only withdraw 5,000 taels of silver each, and they can only withdraw it after three days. Different people with different identities use different banknotes to withdraw it!"
"The last thing is that the number of silver coins must be scrambled before they can be distributed. If you take it out in Shuocheng, you must go to other cities to exchange it for broken silver or spend it. Similarly, the silver exchanged in other cities must also be obtained.
Flowers come from Shuocheng!"
Captain Chen took the bank note with a solemn expression and nodded.
After the explanation, Bo Jiming left with Qin Jiaoxi.
After successfully leaving the city gate, Qin Jiaoxi had time to ask: "What happened?"
Bo Jiming tied the horse outside the city gate and said, "Grandpa is sick!"
The horses were tied outside the city gate to avoid being snatched away by bandits.
Then the two of them escaped into the space and rushed directly to Shuocheng via teleportation.
With Qin Jiaoxi's presence, the space within which Bo Jiming could move increased, and within half a day the two of them had arrived at the North Station.
Then we arrived at Shanghou Mansion overnight.
Bo Jiming has been gone for more than half a year, but when he comes back, he still feels a little bit different.
The mansion was very clean, and no one was moving around in the middle of the night.
Bo Jiming and Qin Jiaoxi went directly to Shang Hou's house.
As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he met Shang Fengyi face to face.
Shang Fengyi was shocked at first, then his eyes turned red: "Brother, you are finally back!"
She glanced at Qin Jiaoxi and dragged them both into the house without thinking.
"Brother, sister-in-law, how did you come in? Did anyone notice you on your way back to the imperial capital? Didn't those holy people outside the Shanghou Mansion see you come in?"
Bo Jiming held her down and said, "Calm down, you said just now that there are people from the Holy One outside the Shanghou Mansion?"
Shang Fengyi nodded: "Your Majesty arranged at least three secret guards to guard the front, back and side doors of our house. Grandpa said there might be another one over there in the main house, but he didn't find it!"
"Also, grandpa's people went around and came back. They said that there were people guarding the four gates of the capital city and the entrance to the imperial city. Ever since grandpa fell ill the day before yesterday, the Holy Spirit had expected that my brother would show up!"
Bo Jiming glanced at Qin Jiaoxi happily.
If Qin Jiaoxi hadn't wanted to follow him, he would definitely not have used the space to slowly move back. Instead, he would have rode to the North Station to see the situation.
Although the Shanghou people did not go to the North Station to check, the Holy Emperor would definitely send people to guard him at several nearby stations.
Thinking of this, Bo Jiming breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, the way we came back is very special, no one will know even when we enter the house."
"First, let's talk about grandpa's condition. What is his specific disease?"
Shang Fengyi curled his lips and said: "It's not a serious illness. The climate changed too fast a few days ago and I accidentally contracted the wind and cold!"
"But it will naturally become more serious as you get older. Your Majesty is concerned about it, and asked several imperial doctors to take turns to treat grandpa. It was much better yesterday!"
"However, Grandpa is thinking that once he falls, the Holy One will definitely let people spread the news and wait for you to come back!"
"In this case, it would be faster if we pass the news down in advance ourselves!"
"Besides, grandpa also misses you, and wants to do something for you. At least he can let you see the situation in the capital city, while he can still negotiate terms with the Holy Emperor!"
Bo Ji Ming was stupefied: "Negotiate terms? What terms does he want to negotiate with the Holy One?"
Shang Fengyi felt that he was quick to speak, so he quickly covered his mouth and said: "Ah, I have heard this vaguely, but I don't know the specific situation. You can ask grandpa later!"
"But brother, you came early. Grandpa is not at home today..."
Bo Jiming stared at her: "Where can grandpa be if he is not at home in the middle of the night? He is sick!"
Shang Fengyi sighed: "In Shuiqin Pavilion, it is said that the master of the pavilion has some medicines that have miraculous effects on wind and cold..."
"But he actually used this as an excuse to lure the Holy Emperor's secret guards away, because he calculated that you might come back in the next two days. If you don't come today, he will come back tomorrow during the day, and then use another reason to go to Duke Xuan.
How many days will I be my guest?"
"Anyway, he will return home after you appear safely!"
Bo Jiming: "..."
Only the Marquis of Shang knew that he did not return to Dan.
Although the Holy One wanted to lure him back, he thought that he was in Danlie Kingdom and it would take several days to arrive, so there was a time lag.
Otherwise, even if he used space to escape into the Shanghou Mansion today, he would probably be discovered by the secret guards hidden in the atrium.
