When the father-in-law heard what Lan Ziyi said, he hurriedly said:

"Wei Hou has difficulties, and everyone understands it, so go back to Bingming."

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi said weakly:

"Come on, reward!"

After Lan Ziyi spoke, the only Tao Zhutu and Qiu Wenruo in the room stared at a loss.

Qiu Wenruo is a poor scholar, so he naturally has no money, while Tao Zhutu remembered that Lan Ziyi's last ingot of silver was now on him.

At this time, Tao Zhutu really regretted that he didn't go out first, so he had to take out the silver and hand it to his father-in-law, and said with a smile:

"Father-in-law take it, my young master's feet hurt badly, and my father-in-law has to attack to make it clear."

The father-in-law smiled happily after taking a piece of silver, and quickly nodded in response:

"What you said this young master is that I will report it truthfully.

Then Weihou, I'll go. Since your body is inconvenient, take care of it. “

Lan Ziyi nodded to his father-in-law, and Qiu Wenruo and Tao chased the rabbit and sent his father-in-law out of the house.

After his father-in-law left, Tao Zhutu and Qiu Wenruo returned to Lan Ziyi's bedroom. Lan Ziyi looked at the peach chasing rabbit with a sad face and comforted:

"Third brother, don't be sad, I'll get pocket money from the second brother another day, and I'll pay you back one hundred taels!"

Hearing this, Peach Rabbit shook his head and said:

"Young master, just pay me back a thousand taels, what's the use if I can't get out?"

Lan Ziyi laughed when he heard this, and then instructed Qiu Wenruo:

"Mr. Wen Ruo went out to bring a message to Ling Zun and the two elder brothers for me, come to me for dinner tonight, and we will discuss the matter of the cabinet passing on me."

Peach Rabbit couldn't sneak out of the house to play that day, and lost the silver, and people were very unhappy. Lan Ziyi understood his third brother's temperament, he left Tao Zhutu in the house and chatted for a long time, and waited until after lunch, Tao Zhutu was in a better mood before letting him go back to the house to rest.

Today is the last day of the silver, and the father and son of the Qiu family, who are busy outside, and the four people who are busy with Peach Chase Tiger and Peach Chase Deer have already arrived at the end of the day. A few people specially asked someone to pass the word before, not wanting Lan Ziyi to prepare wine and food, it was too late for them to eat, so Lan Ziyi ordered someone to prepare some seasonal fruits, just waiting for others.

Tao Zhutu came to eat with Lan Ziyi at dinner, and the other four came to Lan Ziyi's place together after they were busy, and after saluting, a few people sat down, and then Lan Ziyi asked:

"How's the money going?"

Qiu Wenruo replied:

"All the silver has been distributed today, and in four days a total of 516,847 taels of silver have been distributed to 36,552 households, and each household has been ordered 14 taels of silver.

This is the general ledger, and there are too many details to be taken. “

Saying that, Qiu Wenruo got up and handed Lan Ziyi an account book.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Mr. Wenruo, what do you mean by this? I asked Mr. and Ling Zun to preside over the distribution of silver taels, just because I trusted the two gentlemen, I only asked Mr. to report all the silver taels and military households, with this skill, what reason do I have to look at the account books again? Are you afraid that Mr. will not be greedy for ink? Sir, take it back. ”

Qiu Wenruo nodded when he heard this, put away the account book and sat back in his seat, and Qiu Xiaozhi said at this time:

"Although Wei Hou repeatedly ordered on the first day, asking the military households to supervise each other and not let the scoundrels take advantage of the loopholes, there are still many people who are not in the records of me and Wen Ruo when the silver is distributed in the past few days, and the detailed information asked these people is also different from the army, but because there is no evidence and no one to correct them, they have no choice but to give them the silver. It was not until yesterday that the Beijing army roster was obtained from the Ministry of War, and this phenomenon was put an end to it. ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"The saint has clouds: you love its sheep, I love its rites. This time, we are doing justice and doing the right thing for heaven, and we should do what we want, but a few more moths are better than letting the families of the dead soldiers have nothing to eat. ”

Then Lan Ziyi asked Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu:

"Big brother, second brother, how are you doing over there? Are there any people who pick quarrels and provoke trouble? ”

Peach Chase Tiger smiled and said:

"On the first day, there were troublemakers every day in the next few days. It's just that the petty thief was caught and tied up by me, and I remembered that I was tied up by the people who took advantage of the chaos to rob the silver, and I broke the bridge of my nose and tied it up in front of me. ”

Tao Zhuhu's last sentence made everyone in the room laugh, and Lan Ziyi laughed and said:

"Anyway, big brother, you're tying up all the people, right? Where did the people go after the tying? ”

Peach Road:

"People were naturally sent to Yamen by me, which is Jingzhao Mansion. Although I look at Jingzhao Yin Duji's bastard is very unhappy. ”

Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, and said:

"Listening to what my brothers and two gentlemen said, this time the matter of distributing the silver was successfully completed. My brother and husband didn't want me to prepare wine, so this time I replaced it with tea and toasted everyone. ”

When the people in the house heard this, they each raised their teacups, and after saluting Lan Ziyi, everyone took a sip of hot tea together.

Putting down the teacup, Lan Ziyi remembered Qiu Xiaozhi's words just now, and he asked:

"Mr. Xiaozhi just said that the military department brought the roster?"

Qiu Xiao said straightly:

"Exactly, it was sent yesterday."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi picked up a plum and put it in his mouth, and the sharp and piercing sour water flowed down his throat into his stomach, causing Lan Ziyi's brain to tighten for a while, and the muscles on his face were pulled into grooves and ravines.

Seeing this, Tao Zhutu, who was eating melons on the side, smiled when he saw this:

"Young master, are plums so sour?"

Lan Ziyi replied with a smile after spitting out the nucleus:

"Meizi is fine, it's just that it's sandwiched with the affairs of the imperial court."

When everyone heard this, they knew that Lan Ziyi was going to ask the point, so they hurriedly held their breath and sat upright. Lan Ziyi also said unexpectedly:

"My father-in-law came to spread the word today, I guess everyone knows, right?"

Seeing everyone nodding, Lan Ziyi said again:

"Zhang Mingyue just passed me into the cabinet today, but the roster was sent yesterday, which is a bit incredible."

Qiu Wenruo replied:

"Wei Hou is too worried, this matter is nothing incredible."

After seeing Lan Ziyi's gaze at the news, Qiu Wenruo continued:

"My father and I sent someone to the military department to ask for the roster when the silver was distributed on the second day, and it was too late to give it yesterday."

Lan Ziyi said:

"In that case, why did Zhang Mingyue summon me to the cabinet today for questioning? It stands to reason that on the second day at the latest, Zhang Mingyue should know about my silver. ”

The father and son of the Qiu family looked at each other when they heard this, and after changing their eyes, the father and son didn't know how to answer. However, just because the two of them don't know doesn't mean that others don't know, Tao Zhulu said at this time:

"As far as I know, in the past few days, there have been people in the court who have been talking about Wei Hou's distribution of silver, but today I sent someone to spread the word about Wei Hou."

Lan Ziyi thought about it when he heard this, touched his chin and said:

"In this way, it has been the two fathers-in-law of the inner court who have suppressed things for me in the past few days."

Qiu Wenruo took over and said:

"Sending someone to spread the word to the Marquis of Wei today is estimated that the father-in-law is being urged."

Lan Ziyi nodded in response:

"Yes, as it should be.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Wen Ruo, if it weren't for Mr. Wen Ruo reminding me today, I would have gone with someone stupidly. “

Qiu Wenruo smiled when he heard this:

"Wei Hou is just a fan of the authorities, even if I don't say it, after that tightness, Wei Hou himself will remember."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Not necessarily."

Then Lan Ziyi said again:

"It's normal for someone in the court to impeach me, but why is it Shen Zhong's bastard who bites me this time? Shouldn't this kind of thing be done by Yushi? ”

Qiu Xiao said bluntly:

"It stands to reason that except for the officials, other courtiers are not allowed to discuss others. This time, Shen Zhong made a bit of a name for Zhang Mingyue, and it was not so easy for Wei Hou to find a place to settle down. “

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Why did you say that, sir?"

Qiu Wenruo took his father's words and replied:

"Although Wei Hou did not give the good name of the silver to King De, but what Wei Hou did has been done since ancient times, and there are huge rich and famous ministers in all dynasties, and even this dynasty have dedicated their families to fund the army, and it is not so easy to insist on giving Wei Hou a crime of buying people's hearts with private wealth."

Qiu Xiao said directly:

"To put it bluntly, Wei Hou's matter is big or small, listening to the meaning of the father-in-law who passed the word today, the two fathers-in-law in the palace have been pressing this matter for Wei Hou."
