Chapter 364
Hearing that Sun Xin said that if he forcibly intervened in the operation of the Bank of the Supervisory Committee, he could directly disband the Bank of the Supervisory Committee, Du Cai was so frightened that his back broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly shouted: "Don't do that!"

He couldn't help but not panic, Sun Xin sent Zhao Ji a profit of 700 million yuan directly last month, and this year's calculation was close to [-] yuan in money.

The famous Xicheng expropriation has made the common people resentful, but the money that can be obtained nationwide in a year is only a figure of more than [-] guan.

There are many eunuchs working in the Huangzhuang Huangdian under Zhao Ji, and every Zhuangzi or store can get Zhao Ji a hundred guan every year, which is already worthy of him saying that he is good.

In contrast, the thousands of dollars of the Bank of Supervisory Committee is really a lot in Xiao Zhao's eyes, and this time he was specially sent here because he was interested in the huge profits of the Bank of Supervisory Committee.

If Sun Xin really disbanded the Supervisory Committee Bank in a fit of anger, Du didn't know if Sun Xin would bear Zhao Ji's anger, but he would definitely be killed by Zhao Ji.

He quickly said with a smile:
"Master Sun is joking, how do you get such a field? I think the Jiang family's brother's plan is well written, why don't we follow it."

Sun Xin stared at Du Cai's eyes, as if he was looking at him like Ao Ying. Only then did Du Cai realize that Sun Xin's eyes were full of murderous determination, and he didn't look like a 20-year-old man at all. What a young man should look like, but when he looked at Sun Xin, he felt that the person standing in front of him was someone of Tong Guan Yang Jian's level, who could definitely kill himself without hesitation.

After only looking at each other for a few seconds, Du Cai felt cold sweat protruding from his back, and subconsciously avoided Sun Xin's sight, not daring to look at him again.

Only then did Sun Xin laugh, and turned his head to Jiang Jing as if nothing had happened, and said, "Brother Jiang, this Du Gong also praised your well-written plan, so you will take care of Du Gong first in the next days." For a while, you can go back together when you go back to Dengzhou to pick up luggage next time."

Jiang Jing nodded, and was quite shocked by Sun Xin's heroic spirit just now.

This is a group of eunuchs that everyone in the world fears and hates, and they were overwhelmed by a few words in front of Sun Xin.

It's not that others can't do it, but that there are few people who can speak so honestly to eunuchs like Sun Xin.

Jiang Jing had been to Liangshan before, and he knew that even those heroes on Liangshan who claimed to wipe out evil spirits and act on behalf of the heavens, if they faced real high-ranking officials and eunuchs sent by the emperor, they would be groveling, and none of them could do that. Like this.

Jiang Jing felt more and more that Sun Xin was the one who really wanted to achieve great things. The bandits on Liangshan who he followed before said they wanted to do great things, but in the end, they all wanted to be dogs for these officials and eunuchs?

He took Du Cai away, and after they left, Sun Xin called Wu Song directly and asked Wu Song to send some men to watch Du Cai and the others.

At night, outside Qingzhou city, Du Cai and others quietly gathered in the small tent.

Du Cai asked his three subordinates: "Did you hear any news when you went out today?"

The three looked at each other, then shook their heads with bitter faces.

"Those guards all dispersed when they saw us approaching, and no one answered when we wanted to ask questions."

"Don't ask questions. I will chase them and scold them. They run much faster than me. If you want to catch someone, you won't be able to beat them."

"The civilian men under us have been dismissed by them long ago. Now there are only four of us in this camp, and there are five servants who were forced to stay by us to do things."

Another little official said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid those servants have already been bribed by that Sun Xin. I saw them all being called to lecture in front of a man who looked like a guard officer two days ago. "

No matter how dull they were, they could tell from the news they exchanged with each other that they were completely under house arrest by Sun Xin at this time.

A little official couldn't help but said: "This Sun Xin is really too bold, how dare he deal with Du Gong like this?"

After finishing speaking, the man was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "I have absolutely no intention of complaining, and I am loyal to Duke Du."

Having said that, his disappointment was all shown on his face. What they said was a small official was actually just a handyman in the West City Office.

This time Du Cai was going to work in Dengzhou. They wanted to seek an opportunity to make money, so they spent a lot of money to curry favor with this job, and followed Du Cai out of Bianliang.

It turns out that the other eunuchs are all majestic when they go out, and their subordinates have a lot of money to fish, but this Du Cai has not yet entered Dengzhou, and was directly put under house arrest by Sun Xin in Qingzhou. It's possible, and the days to come will be sad.

After talking for a while, everyone fell silent. Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and can only complain in private, sitting in a sad city, talking about those words.

A small official calmed down and said to the other three in a low voice: "But this Sun Xin's family background is really strong."

The other snorted coldly: "I don't know where he got so many soldiers and horses."

"Not just soldiers and horses."

For the purpose of preventing outsiders from spying on the inside of the tent, several people squatted on the ground to avoid their own shadows being illuminated by the light. This little official squatted on the ground for too long, his legs became numb, and he moved a little body, and continued to whisper to the three of them: "I went to Junzhou with my father-in-law before, and I saw his soldiers and horses drill. They are the ordinary Xiang army of our Song Dynasty... No, let alone the Xiang army, it is the imperial army. There is no one as neat as his guard."

As soon as this remark came out, several people were surprised.

Du Cai has been in the palace since he was a child, he has never served in the military, and he has never seen this military tent. Hearing this, he was surprised and said, "Is there such a thing?"

The little official nodded: "Not only that, just look at the food among his guards. I counted it quietly, and there is one meal of meat every three days. How is this the treatment of ordinary soldiers?"

As soon as this remark came out, another small official also remembered something: "I used to follow a father-in-law to Laiwu to supervise the iron mines. Although I only walked under his hands, I also saw the iron produced by those miners."

"Even the good iron that is best used to pay taxes to the government is not as beautiful as the iron muzzle of the gun used by the escort. It's just one of their rifled guns, the iron If you don’t say anything, Guan Zi will exchange it with a consistent amount of money!”

Hearing this, the three of them were all shocked.

The few people present have extensive experience in exploiting common people all over the world. After analyzing the characters they have seen and based on their past experience of wickedness, they gradually found that although the guards appeared plain at first glance, they wore ordinary muskets. The soldiers didn't even have armor, but from top to bottom, both the discipline of the army and the cost of food and clothing, all exceeded the standards of the imperial army, and the attitude of the officers was far different from that of the soldiers.

Finally, Du Cai also remembered something: "These days I always wondered if I could sneak out, so I secretly visited his camp."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the three little officials were a little ugly. Du Cai looked at the camp secretly, obviously he didn't want to take them away, but wanted to run away alone.

Although he is a eunuch, he is only in his 20s. He eats well, lives well, and is in good health. Compared with these petty officials who have been fattened by exploiting the people, they are more convenient.

However, the three of them did not dare to say this in front of Du Cai.

Du Cai continued: "The barracks of the Protectorate Army seem to be unwilling to light their torches at night to reveal where they are located, but I walked all the way, and I can quietly see their camp from a high place during the day and on a sunny day. The range, let alone stretching over several nearby hills, ambushed two to three thousand people, and judging by the way his luggage was moving, it is obvious that there are still soldiers and horses in the city."

As soon as this remark came out, the three officials were a little surprised, and one of them secretly calculated and said: "Let's say it's four or five thousand soldiers... My God, a state capital may not be able to gather so many soldiers, right?" .”

The little official who had stayed in the military state said resolutely: "I can't get it together. If it weren't for the state capital that is in charge of military affairs, there would not be so many people recruited from the countryside, let alone such brave and strong people." Strong soldiers."

As they talked, the eyes of the four people gradually changed, and they could see each other's thoughts at a glance.

A small official suddenly asked Du Cai: "Du Gong, where do you think we can go even if we escape?"

"Yeah, if you go back to Bianliang, you will definitely make the officials unhappy."

"What's more, we don't have any real evidence of his crime. Sun Xin just disagrees with our way of doing business. Let's not say that Sun Xin is not."

Du Cai nodded: "It seems that we can't be tough with this Sun Xin, we have to figure it out slowly."

It is said that it was done slowly, but Du Cai has actually decided to surrender.

He was also shocked by Sun Xin's strength to make such a decision. If Sun Xin hadn't shown his strong military strength in the past few days, Du Cai would definitely have to fight Sun Xin for a while. Now that Du Cai knows that he is not Sun Xin As the eunuch from Xicheng, he had no bones, so he immediately changed his mind and decided to flatter Sun Xin.

Du Cai secretly screamed in his heart that it was unlucky. It was impossible for him to come to Dengzhou to scrape the land or even act as a tyrant. Can't justify it with the emperor.

Facing Sun Xin, a big landlord who has soldiers and food, doesn't care about the supervisory committee's banking business, and is loved by Zhao Ji, Du Cai really has nothing to do.

He made up his mind that what he pursued in his trip to Danzhou was nothing more than nothing. Of course, he had a way to write colorfully about what he did in Dengzhou in the report, but earning more money is the most important thing. It's unlikely. What Du Cai is thinking about now is to stay in Dengzhou for a while, get enough qualifications to impress the officials, and then see if there is a chance to leave.
