550、The whereabouts of gold
Zhao Qingyun lives in a large courtyard two streets away from the Governor's Mansion. Today was supposed to be a working day, but Zhao Qingyun did not go to work, but locked himself in the room and tidying up his things.
On the table behind him, boxes of various jewelry were arranged in a mess, as well as two neatly arranged gold bars, some bills of exchange and cash from foreign banks. Zhao Qingyun frowned at this time, holding two long boxes in his arms, and his hands kept flirting in the cabinet.
"Bang bang." Two knocks came from outside the door. Zhao Qingyun was startled and his hands shook, and the box in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He said angrily, "Who! I've said it, I have something to do, no one will see you!"
The person outside the door did not reply, but just knocked twice again.
Zhao Qingyun was a little angry at the moment, and walked to the table with the box in his hand and put it down, angrily saying, "Who is it!"
The door was gently pushed open from outside. Zhao Qingyun was stunned and suddenly realized that after he entered the room, he inserted the door bolt from inside. How did this door open?!
Before he could figure it out, the door had been completely pushed open, and two people stood at the door.
Two women, one in his early thirties, and the other in his Double Ten years old. The only similar thing is that both women are very beautiful. Even if they are considered to be a person with status in the southwest, they rarely see such beautiful women.
"You... who are you? How did you come in?" Because they were two women, Zhao Qingyun relaxed his vigilance and just frowned and looked at them.
The two women who suddenly patronized the Zhao family were naturally nothing, but Leng Sa and Shang Feiyun.
Leng Sa glanced at the table behind Zhao Qingyun and smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you planning to run away?"
Zhao Qingyun's face changed slightly, and she moved her body without any trace to block the two of them's sight. Leng Sa and Shang Fei looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Qingyun obviously found that his behavior was ridiculous and no longer blocked it. He looked at the two of them with confidence and said angrily, "Who are you? You probably aren't guests of the Zhao family? Do you dare to break into this place and don't want to live?"
Leng Sa apologized, "Come on uninvited, please forgive me, Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Qingyun asked, "Who are you?"
Leng Sa said in a gentle voice, "My surname is Leng, Leng Sa." Seeing that Zhao Qingyun seemed to have no reaction yet, he thought that it was probably because he was not famous, so he added, "My husband's surname is Fu."
"What?! You!" Zhao Qingyun's face changed suddenly, but the next moment he shut up again, because he saw Leng Sa playing with a small pistol in his hand, and the muzzle was just aimed at him.
He had heard of the power of the eldest lady of the Fu family. Although he was a big man, he didn't dare to say that he could beat the one in front of him.
Leng Sa smiled and said, "I just like people who are keen and tactful. Mr. Zhao doesn't have to be afraid. I don't like to kill people."
Zhao Qingyun's stiff face did not respond. Leng Sa and Shang Feiyun had already stepped into the room and closed the door. Seeing this, Zhao Qingyun could only complain in his heart. Once the door was closed, he would just scream that the sky should not be effective unless it was made. But if he really made any noise, he would not dare to bet whether Leng Sa would kill him and run away.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Qingyun could only smile with her, "Mrs. Fu, don't know what you mean?"
Leng Sa walked to the table, and the gun in his hand gently passed the pile of jewelry and gold bars on the table, and asked directly, "Where did Sun Liang get those gold bars?"
Zhao Qingyun's eyelids twitched and he hurriedly said, "I...I don't know."
Leng Sa looked at him in surprise, "I don't know? You covered him up for two months with pain. Now you say you don't know? Looking back... How do you explain?" Before Zhao Qingyun answered, Leng Sa nodded again and looked like he suddenly realized, "Oh, you are going to run away. It seems that you don't plan to explain. Let me see... Well, my bill of exchange for 100,000 yuan, forty gold bars, and these jewelry can have a total of 200,000 yuan or 300,000 yuan, right?"
Zhao Qingyun didn't dare to speak, Leng Sa turned his head and looked at him, "But now you can't run away, don't you explain?"
Zhao Qingyun said with a bitter face, "Mrs. Fu, I really don't know anything. What did you ask me to explain?"
Leng Sa said, "I don't care. The gold flowed out of your hands. I can't find it... I had to hand you over to the governor and the cabinet to hand over. In addition to you, you have three sons and seven or eight grandchildren, right? The youngest is still in the infancy. How do you want them to live in the future? It's pitiful."
Zhao Qingyun's face turned a little blue, and he raised his head and looked at Leng Sa, "Mrs. Fu, I really don't know. Even if you force me to death, I can't do anything."
Leng Sa picked up a heavy gold bar from the box and weighed it in his hand, then spread it in his palm and looked at it and laughed, "Pengcheng Guanzhu?"
Seeing that Zhao Qingyun had a dark face and did not speak, Leng Sa didn't force her, "Since you don't know, then go with us. Maybe you will know if you look back. But I don't know what Sun Liang would think if you disappeared? How would he entertain your family? Ah, I remembered that your parents are Sun Liang's uncle and aunt, so they shouldn't bother with you, right?"
Zhao Qingyun's face became more and more ugly, and Leng Sa continued, "I heard that Sun Liang killed Sun Rang two days ago?"
Shang Feiyun nodded and smiled, "Isn't it? Isn't it? Is Sun Rang or Sun's cousin? Sun Governor Sun is really a decisive decision." Even his cousin said he could kill him, so who is the cousin?
Zhao Qingyun gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Fu, don't bully people too much!"
Leng Sa snorted lightly and said in surprise, "I'm too bullying? Mr. Zhao, you helped Sun Liang empty the gold in the entire southwest fiscal stock. Do you think you are not doing too much? Or do you think Sun Liang can make a comeback? Mr. Zhao plans to be a loyal minister who will devote himself to his life until his death?"
Shang Feiyun chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhao, I advise you not to think too much. It is useless to delay time. Since we can come in, we can naturally guarantee to take you away. Sun Liang's situation is over. It would be fine if you can run away. Since it has fallen into our hands, I should think about it more for yourself, right?"
Zhao Qingyun looked at Shang Feiyun, then looked at Leng Sa standing by the table, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.
Leng Sa was not in a hurry, so he simply sat down at the table, looking like he was not in a hurry to wait for him to make a decision slowly.
Time passed slowly, one minute, ten minutes, half an hour, and no one came to greet him near the room.
Sometimes he had already heard the sound of talking outside, but soon the people left again, and seemed to have no idea that there were three people in the room at this time.
Forty minutes, fifty minutes...
Leng Sa frowned slightly, lowered her head and looked at the watch on her wrist.
It was obviously the temperature was still a little low in early February, but sweat had already appeared on Zhao Qingyun's face, and his back, which was still wearing a short jacket, was soaked in sweat.
As Leng Sa began to look at the watch, he seemed to feel that he could hear the sound of the watch walking. So his face became paler and paler, and he was a little unsteady.
"It's been an hour..." Leng Ah sighed a little, put down his hand with a watch and raised his head to look at Zhao Qingyun, "Mr. Zhao, you..."
Zhao Qingyun shuddered and suddenly said, "I...I said..."
Leng Sa raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, "Please."
Zhao Qingyun seemed to have no strength, sat softly in the chair, leaning against the back of the chair, and said, "I really don't know... I don't know where the gold bars were moved by Sun Liang. However, when the batch of gold bars were transported out of the warehouse, I... Sun Liang asked me to transport the gold bars out of the city in batches and handed them over to his guard captain. I was afraid of attracting others' attention, so I sent them all five times before I could deliver them all. I can tell you the place, but I really don't know how the gold was handled later and where it was transported."
Leng Sa smiled and said, "If it were Mr. Zhao, would you please let an unrelated person deal with such a large batch of gold?"
Zhao Qingyun remained silent and said Leng Sa: "It seems that this guard captain is very trusted by Sun Liang?"
Zhao Qingyun nodded quickly and said, "Yes, he is also one of Sun Liang's adjutants, and he is the person he trusts the most. He trusts more than us cousins. He will let him do any messy things Sun Liang will do. All I know is this, I really don't know anything else."
Leng Sa nodded, "Thank you Mr. Zhao for telling me that Mr. Zhao has been asked to stay at home recently and not run around."
Zhao Qingyun's face froze, he wanted to run away.
The reason I chose to run now is because if it was too early, Sun Liang would not let him go. If it was too late, the coalition forces really besieged Pengcheng and could not run away even if they wanted to run.
Now Sun Liang has no time to care about them, and he is probably not the only one who thinks like this.
As if you see Zhao Qingyun's thoughts, Leng Sa said, "Mr. Zhao, think clearly. If I can successfully retrieve that batch of gold, the governor and the cabinet and the military department, Mr. Zhao will be considered a contribution and everything will be easy to say. But if you run away, you will be a fugitive who treasoned Sun Liang in this life. Apart from escaping from abroad, you can only find a countryside to live incognito. At least for decades, your Zhao family will not be able to make a fortune."
"I..." Zhao Qingyun looked at her with some doubts and said, "You really won't pursue me?"
Leng Sa smiled and said, "It depends on what you did? If there is nothing conscientious about it, you should still be rewarded appropriately for your country."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyun was obviously relieved and hesitated for a moment before saying to Leng Sa, "Okay, I can cooperate with you, but after the Fu family takes Pengcheng, I must ensure the safety of my family, and I cannot be held accountable for my relationship with the Sun family. Don't worry, I am just a civil servant and have never done anything conscientious." He was greedy for some money, and Sun Liang would not dare to do too much. As long as the Fu family did not even take charge of his affairs, he would not be punished to death.
Thinking of the dozens of people in my family, and looking at the table of money in front of me, Zhao Qingyun had no choice but to accept his fate.
The Fu family has come to the door. Can he really escape even if he wants to escape?
Leng Sa nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, happy cooperation?"
Zhao Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. Since he had made up his mind to make many things, it was easier to say. "I know some of the situations about that adjutant Sun Liang..."
Soon Leng Sa and Shang Feiyun left. Seeing the two of them going away, Zhao Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed into the chair.
He turned his head stiffly and looked at the jewelry and gold bars on the table. Zhao Qingyun felt his heart beating fast. After a while, he finally calmed down. He shouted loudly, "Come here!"
After a while, someone came in, "Master?"
Seeing that it was the person who was usually following him, Zhao Qingyun also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the man and asked, "Where have you been?"
The man said, "Go back to the master, the person next to the old lady came to pass the message and asked Xiaodi to come over."
Zhao Qingyun frowned, "Who is around the old lady? What are you asking you to go over and do?"
The man said frankly, "The old lady said that the master has lost a lot of weight these days, so let the younger one look at him carefully and not be too tired."
Zhao Qingyun was stunned for a while before waved his hand and said, "You go back."
The man looked at his master in confusion, and somehow he always felt that the master looked much weaker than usual.
Seeing the man retreating respectfully, Zhao Qingyun leaned back into the chair and never sat up again.
His mother really cares about him, but even if she gives advice, she will only remind her wife. After all, he is already in his forties and is not a child, so she never specifically calls the people who follow him.
