The news of Han Zhaozhi's return to the Tingwei Mansion soon spread throughout Chang'an City, and the news of the New Year was like a cannon battle, which made many people dizzy.

The people of the Tongcun Association are still trying to find out, wondering if Tsing Yi Lou is Ye Liuyun presiding, and wondering if Han Zhaozhi is really back, but Han Zhaozhi took the black horse to copy the Sheng family to the bottom, so there is no need to guess now.

This way of returning caught many people off guard, but it was different on the Tingwei Mansion, they had been in a slump for a long time, and even had something to do, and the first thing Han Zhaozhi did when he came back was to copy a national duke, and his morale was strong all of a sudden.

Yanguo Mansion.

Han Zhaozhi sat on a chair and drank tea, of course the tea was the tea in the Yanguo Mansion, and it tasted good, although it was not what Han Zhaozhi usually liked to drink.

A court lieutenant mansion Baiban walked in quickly from outside and leaned over and said: "My lord, I have checked inside and out, and all the things on the surface have been sealed, but no large amount of money has been found, and there is nothing too valuable in the mansion, it seems that Yan Guogong is not very rich." ”

"Hmm."

Han Zhaozhi put down the teacup and asked, "Where is Yan Guogong's study?" Take me there. ”

"Yes."

Baiban responded, and took Han Zhaozhi to Yan Guogong's study, the furnishings in the study are also simple, desks, shelves, tables, chairs, coffee tables, in addition to a few calligraphy and paintings, a few vases, three or five bonsai, and nothing else.

"Look, it's really simple."

Han Zhaozhi glanced at Yan Guogong, who was brought over: "Guogong is really pure. ”

Yan Guogong snorted and ignored it.

"I heard that the business of Guogong's family is all over the world, but the life is so simple, it is really admirable, but I also ask Guogong to be considerate of our Tingwei Mansion, we are the ones who do this kind of errand."

Yan Guo said fairly: "What do you mean? You're saying I've hidden all my money? Is it necessary? If you want to check, you can go to the account to check, and it will be clear. ”

"Accounts that are clear are often not real books."

Han Zhaozhi commanded: "Knock on the walls around you, and knock on the ground." ”

When he said this, he glanced at Yan Guogong, who seemed to be extremely disdainful, and snorted and stopped looking at Han Zhaozhi.

After about two moments, his men had already checked the walls and floor, but still found nothing.

"I firmly believe in one thing, people who love money are willing to look at their wealth."

Han Zhaozhi walked to the desk and sat down, there is a window on one side of the desk, and when you open the window, you can see the small garden outside, it is the middle of winter, so you can't see any scenery, but if it is spring and summer, this small garden is full of flowers and plants, it should be very beautiful.

Looking out the window, facing is a not very big lotus pond, of course there are no lotus flowers in this season, the rockery is not big but the shape is excellent, this stone should be worth a lot of money.

"Go dig up the lotus pond."

Han Zhaozhi raised his finger and pointed over there: "There is nothing in the lotus pond, so the garden is dug up." ”

He looked back at Yan Guogong and found that Yan Guogong's face had turned pale.

The next day, Weiyang Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

The emperor glanced at Han Zhaozhi, who was wearing the brocade clothes of Du Tingwei, and shook his head slightly: "I give you the official position of Zhengyipin, a serious feudal official, the capital of Anxi to protect the capital, and to control all the ......."

After a pause, he snorted: "You just like this Du Tingwei dress on your body." ”

Han Zhaozhi leaned over and said

"The minister is afraid of delaying His Majesty's major affairs, the Anxi Protectorate is huge, and the minister just has some careful thoughts about investigating and handling cases, and he can't solve the overall situation." ”

The emperor sighed: "If you like to investigate the case, then continue to investigate the case, and you can handle the affairs of the Sheng family in person, don't have any omissions." ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "It's not difficult to dig out the people of the Tongcun Association, but just based on Yan Guogong's confession, there is no real evidence, it is difficult to convict so many Guogong, and it will take time. ”

The emperor asked, "Then how many coins did you find out?" ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "Yesterday, the minister asked people to dig a pool and dug out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. ”

The emperor's eyes lit up: "Hundreds of thousands of taels? ”

"Yes."

Han Zhaozhi said: "If the investigation is careful, the minister suspects that only Yan Guogong can confiscate nearly one million silver." ”

The emperor sighed: "I'm afraid that the treasury of the Heiwu Kingdom doesn't have millions of taels of silver now, and a Guogong in Daning can copy out a million taels of ......."

He glanced at Han Zhaozhi: "Actually, Daning's treasury is not abundant, it has been fighting all these years, and the silver spent in the treasury is like flowing water, and it has no longer been collected from the southern Xinjiang provinces in recent years, so ......"

The emperor smiled: "If you copy a few fines, Daning's treasury will be full again." ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "The Sheng family's biggest business is in the eastern Xinjiang, and the minister has sent someone to inform the Tingwei Mansion in the eastern Xinjiang to run Gu Le and Geng Shan, and let them investigate strictly. ”

The emperor suddenly remembered: "I am still thinking about how to compensate that stupid boy, so let's give him this errand and make him the minister of the Qin mission, responsible for raiding the Sheng family's business in Eastern Xinjiang." ”

Han Zhaozhi was stunned, this matter should be hosted by the Tingwei Mansion, why did he choose Shen Leng to be the Qin Mission?

Moreover, Shen Leng is still in the northern Xinjiang, even if he is in a hurry to rush back to the eastern Xinjiang, it will take half a year, and when Shen Leng investigates the business of the Sheng family in the eastern Xinjiang, maybe the people of the Sheng family over there have already been prepared, and it is impossible to wait that long.

Then he suddenly reacted that His Majesty just wanted to give Shen Leng a name, a name for Qincha.

First, let the people who thought Shen Leng had lost his position clearly see that His Majesty did not really give up on Shen Leng, this is a signal that His Majesty wants to release.

Second, let Shen Leng stand directly opposite Tongcun, which is also a signal.

So Han Zhaozhi hung his head: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The emperor asked, "You hesitated just now, were you wondering why I asked Shen Leng to do this?" ”

He walked to the window, looked outside and said: "What I thought about before was a little complicated, but it was Chang Ye's words that woke me up, Chang Ye said, everything has a degree, and things within the degree are not excessive, whether it is a reward or a punishment." ”

He glanced back at Han Zhaozhi: "I sometimes think that you will be harsh to those of you who are close to me, and you will be more tolerant of those who are not so close......"

He shook his head: "That's not right, give the good ones to the people who are not close to you, and give the bad ones to the people close to you, and then you have to have such a face just because you are close, ugly!" ”

The emperor was silent for a moment, then turned back to Han Zhaozhi and said: "Actually, many people are like this, just like me and you, I think you are close to people, so many times you are more strict, you do it right and think it is your duty, if you do it wrong, you will scold, give others three points to give you one point, and I think you will understand." ”

The emperor let out a long breath: "Some regrets. ”

Han Zhaozhi was in a complicated mood, and lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty's intention to treat the ministers, the ministers understand. ”

The emperor glanced at him: "I just made an analogy with you, not really saying how bad it is for you. ”

Han Zhaozhi: "......"

The emperor looked at him: "If you want to be a feudal official, you won't go." ”

Han Zhaozhi: "......"

The emperor thought for a while and said: "In this way, if the Sheng family in Chang'an City is confiscated, the Tingwei Mansion can leave one percent, divide it into five parts, and it is almost the New Year, and take out part of the silver as a reward, save it for emergencies, and then take out a part of it and send it to the families of those Tingwei who died in the line of duty." ”

"The remaining two copies are transferred to Tsing Yi Building, and I still have a use."

Han Zhaozhi said: "That's tens of thousands of taels of silver, it's too much." ”

Emperor: "It's for me, and it's not for you, so I don't need to spend it?" The money on the books was used too much, and the people of Yushitai even scolded me, saying that I was extravagant. ”

Han Zhaozhi: "......"

The emperor said: "The Sheng family's case will be dragged on to investigate, do you know what it means?" ”

Han Zhaozhi nodded: "The minister understands." ”

The Emperor snorted: "Besides...... I want to give you a big gift next year, but you also know that there is no extraordinarily huge credit, it is too difficult to seal the country, next year I will let Shen Leng wave his division to the east to attack the Sang country, you go with the army, and when you come back, I will seal you the prince of the country. ”

Han Zhaozhi's face changed suddenly: "...... minister"

The emperor said: "Go and get busy with you, I know what you want to say, but you should also know that what I want to give you, you can't do it if you don't want it." ”

At the same time, Northern Xinjiang.

This Spring Festival is cold, they should have spent it on the road, and the team left the northern Xinjiang to return to the eastern Xinjiang, fortunately, the brothers will not be bored when they go down together.

On the carriage, Chen Ran sat cross-legged and played dice with the big guys, all of whom were stingy people, who played with money, so they thought of another way, whoever lost would knock someone with a brain breakdown.

Later, Chen Ran found that this method was not very good, he won, knock the big one, the big one grinned in pain, and the big one knocked him, he felt that his head was buzzing.

"Ranzi."

The big man asked Chen Ran: "What do you want to do before joining the army?" ”

Chen Ran thought for a while and replied: "Before joining the army, I thought about inheriting my father's career and working hard at the dock to make a world. ”

Big man: "Aren't you carrying a big bag?" ”

Chen Ran said: "Phew, you don't understand, I was thinking when I was a child, if I can organize all the laborers on the dock to set up a commercial house and monopolize the delivery business, so that we will not be bullied by the merchants, we can be responsible for receiving and delivering the goods, and you will send it wherever you say, I am in charge of the unified command and dispatch of the Chinese army, and the money is not rolling in." ”

The big man listened to it and felt understood, but he didn't understand it, thinking that it wasn't all that money?

Chen Ran said: "When Leng Zi doesn't fight one day, I will go to business, and I will definitely make money doing business with my mind." ”

He asked, "Don't you want to be rich, big man?" ”

The big man scratched his hair: "Yes." ”

Chen Ran asked, "Then what are your ambitions?" ”

The big man scratched his hair again: "Get rich, I think it's more simple and rude, I just want to raid the house, copy the home of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, this is the sudden rich, get rich overnight." ”

Chen Ran paused for a moment and pouted: "You really can't talk about ideals with a rough person like you." ”

The big man said, "What if it happens?" ”
