There were only a few old family members left in the Lan Mansion, and as soon as they saw someone breaking in, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, without the power to resist.

Huang Tieniang was very proficient, and assigned her female soldiers to interrogate the prisoners, search everywhere, and move all the things obtained to the front yard, and she personally inspected the important inner rooms and warehouses.

After a circle, there were a lot of things that were brought out, but Huang Tieniang was not satisfied, she wanted to see boxes of gold and silver jewelry, instead of a bunch of candlesticks, copper stoves and other items, although they were also inlaid with gold and silver, it was extremely troublesome to buckle them all down, and it was not to her liking.

"The Lan family is rich in the world, there must be boxes of gold and silver, where is it hidden?" Huang Tieniang personally stepped forward to interrogate.

Several old family members could only kowtow, and it took a long time for one of them to boldly reply: "They have all been taken away, and there is nothing left." ”

"How is that possible? Did the Lan family flee suddenly, and they had time to take everything with them? ”

The old family said in a trembling voice: "The master left suddenly, and the things started to move out a few months ago." ”

"Where did you go?"

"I don't know, the owner won't tell us, anyway, it's a cart pulling out, probably going to a far place."

Huang Tieniang was annoyed and angry, "The Lan family is too unrighteous, while fighting with the Descendant Army, they are transferring property outside, and they are extremely bastards. ”

Xue Jin shook the side and reminded: "In such a big mansion, there must be a secret room for storing treasures. ”

"Yes, where's the secret room?"

"We are the ones who guard the door, and we can't even enter the second door in normal times, so how can we know about the secret room?"

"Give you a little suffering, and I'll remember it all."

Several female soldiers stepped forward and beat them with the barrels of their guns, and the old family wailed and begged for mercy, but they really couldn't tell where the secret room was.

Xu Ji came at this time, and when he entered the courtyard, he first asked the female soldier to stop, took a few steps forward, shook his head to Xue Jin, and then smiled at Huang Tieniang: "Mother-in-law is fine." ”

"It's not good at all, they all say that the Lan family is rich, and even the people of Qinzhou have heard of it, but I have collected this bit of rags." Huang Tieniang pointed to the debris piled up on the ground.

"Sure enough, it's all rags." Xu Jidao.

Huang Tieniang looked at Xu Ji twice, "Yes, you are from Dongdu, or the son of a general." ”

"It used to be, but it wasn't."

"Well, once upon a time, you should always know who is rich in the Eastern Capital, right?"

"The royal family, as well as the six ministers and four kings, are relatively rich."

"Who are the six ministers and four kings?"

"Lou, Lan, Xi, Cao, Liang, Huangfu six families, Guangling, Xiangdong, Yidu, Jibei four kings."

"The money of the Kelan family has been transported, and I will go to another house to take a look."

"The same must be true of other families, and although the six ministers and four kings are rich, they are not as rich as the emperor."

"Of course, the emperor must be the richest." Huang Tieniang gritted her teeth hatefully, "It was I who was careless and gave up the palace to the incarnate king...... Or I'll go to him again, and he'll want a woman, and I'll want gold and silver, and everyone will have their own pleasure. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "The emperor is not the richest person. ”

Huang Tieniang was very surprised, "Don't brag, who can be richer than the emperor?" ”

"May I ask my mother-in-law, where does the emperor's money come from?"

"If you collect it from the people of the world, everyone will hand over a little, and the emperor's house will not be able to pile it up."

"So the people of the world are richer than the emperor."

"What's that? The people are so poor that they are forced to rebel, where is the money? ”

"I'm talking about 'the people of the world', not 'the people of one side', nor 'one people'."

Huang Tieniang didn't understand, Xue Jin shook and said, "Mother, he's joking with you." ”

Huang Tieniang said angrily: "It's not big or small, how can a son-in-law joke with his mother-in-law?" You kid don't want to live, do you? ”

Xu Ji arched his hand and said: "After listening to my mother-in-law, I am not joking, but I want to tell my mother-in-law that there is a way to get more gold, silver and jewelry, which is simpler and more profitable than looting rich people." ”

"Let's listen to it, if you say it's simple, it has to be really simple, and I don't listen to it if it's a little complicated."

"It's very simple, learn from the emperor. My mother-in-law thought that the emperor was the richest, so why not learn from him to collect taxes and collect tribute from the people? The gold, silver and jewelry came naturally, and there was no need for the mother-in-law to search for it herself. ”

"Are you trying to persuade me to be emperor?"

Xu Ji said with a smile: "Maitreya came to the world, isn't it to build a new dynasty and dominate the world?" ”

"We are not the emperor, Maitreya personally gave the emperor to kill the emperor and destroy the emperor, and it is ominous to call himself the emperor." The magic stick was originally Huang Tieniang's "weapon", and she still believes that it is a divine object.

"The title is not important, the father-in-law and mother-in-law only need to learn the emperor's practices, and there is no need for the title of emperor."

Huang Tieniang thought for a while and said to her daughter, "Do you think he has a point?" ”

"I think he's talking nonsense, how can it be so easy to learn from the emperor? Let's let the people of the world pay taxes now, who is willing to pay? ”

"The people do not want to pay taxes because they are not right. Now it is indeed difficult to let the people of the world pay taxes, but it is quite simple to let the people of the eastern capital pay taxes, give me ten days, I can collect ten thousand taels of silver and a thousand taels of gold. ”

Huang Tieniang was so surprised that her jaw couldn't close, and she suddenly thought that she couldn't show her timidity, so she immediately said: "Double it all, and if there is no gold or silver, you will use jewelry to compensate." ”

"No problem, my mother-in-law can sit in the palace and wait for good news."

"Within ten days?"

"Within ten days, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and before the tenth day of the first month, the gold and silver will be delivered to my mother-in-law."

Huang Tieniang grinned, "I'm not mistaken, your son-in-law is a bit useful." ”

Xu Ji gave up his hand and took the opportunity to say: "It is easy to collect taxes, there is only one condition. ”

Xue Jin snorted coldly, "Mother, you heard it, around a big bend, he actually wanted to put forward conditions." ”

"Let the son-in-law say that as long as it's not too difficult, the conditions are acceptable."

"Don't disturb the people of Dongdu, make them feel safe, and then I can collect taxes, and make them believe that they will be protected after paying taxes. In this way, everyone is willing to pay, and the rebels spend very little, and they gain a lot. ”

"My '20,000' and '2,000' can't be less, and the rest will go to the righteous army." Huang Tieniang corrected.

"Of course, if it's only for the righteous army, I don't want to work hard."

Huang Tieniang was even happier and pulled her daughter over, "Your father hasn't done a few good things in his life, but he has chosen a good son-in-law for you, who is much more useful than your brother-in-law." ”

Xue Jin shook his eyes coldly, "He's lying to you, mother, in the end, you will definitely not get gold and silver." ”

Huang Tieniang was already moved, and said with a smile: "Good daughter, go home quickly, and love your good son-in-law for one night, you won't talk like you do now, how can a newlywed wife speak ill of her husband?" ”

"I'm not going back, let him go back on his own."

Although Huang Tieniang dotes on the little girl, she also has a short temper, and shouted: "Go back, we will have a round house tonight, the kiss has already ended, and there is no reason to regret it." I'll go and guard the door for you, and ask me if you don't understand. ”

Xue Jin shook his face with anger, all the female soldiers smiled, and the only person who felt ashamed was Xu Ji, but this hit his weakness again, and he thought about it for a long time, until he was surrounded by everyone and left the house, and he didn't come up with a suitable excuse.

When I returned to the General's Mansion, it was already the middle of the night, Huang Tieniang really took a few female soldiers to guard the door, and pushed her daughter and son-in-law into the room, "Don't fool me, I'm from here, I know everything." You two chicks, do it for me, try it at least once, and then you don't like it, I have nothing to say, whatever you want. ”

Xue Jinyan was also angry, dragged Xu Ji's hand to the side of the bed, and said angrily: "I'll do it for you, don't force me in the future, find a son-in-law again, you don't need to designate it, I have to pick it myself." ”

Huang Tieniang closed the door and said with a smile: "Silly girl, there is only one son-in-law, there is no chance to find it again, whether it is good or bad, you have to ......recognize it."

The female soldiers are all Huang Tieniang's old partners, and if they want to drink and meat, they will stand outside to drink, talk about some romantic affairs when they were young, and do not lower their voices.

"What's going on with Niu Tiannu? Ning Bao'er wants to marry the Queen Mother, why hasn't she made any moves? Huang Tieniang remembered this.

A female soldier said: "Niu Tiannu don't look very powerful, when she comes to her husband, she is like a mouse meeting a cat, she is very well-behaved, not to mention marrying the Queen Mother as a wife, that is, let Niu Tiannu serve the Queen Mother as a maid, and she doesn't dare to say a word." ”

"Okay, I know you two are at odds, and you speak ill of each other at every opportunity. I know Niu Tiannu, she is not a person who bears humiliation, Ning Bao'er took a group of people out of Qinzhou, she was very angry, Ning Bao'er pulled up a team, but she didn't pick her and the child for a long time, she was even more angry. Even if there is no such thing as the Queen Mother, she will not let go of Ning Bang'er. Wait and see, as soon as Niu Tiannu makes a move, she will definitely scare you. ”

A female soldier ran to the door and listened for a while, then came back and said, "It seems that there is some movement." ”

Huang Tieniang said disdainfully: "My daughter, I say that I am not afraid of the sky and the earth, but at this time, I am still a little afraid." I wasn't afraid at the beginning, although it was Xue Liu who made the first move, I didn't ...... vaguely."

The words became more and more explicit, and the old women became more and more excited, more happy than they had snatched the gold, silver and jewelry.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Huang Tieniang said loudly to the house: "Daughter, say it when it's over, don't let Weiniang get frozen outside, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you two don't just want to celebrate the New Year by yourself." ”

"Alright, let's go." Xue Jin in the room said, her figure was tall, but her voice was not rough, and it was even softer at this time.

Huang Tieniang listened attentively and laughed: "That's right, you're young, and you're not a monk, so why are you old-fashioned?" When Maitreya Buddha came into the world, he had to marry another hundred wives, let alone us mortals? Sleep and get some rest. ”

Huang Tieniang led people out, she didn't want to live in the general's mansion, she wanted to go back to the palace, just came to the gate, she saw someone riding a horse galloping over, shouting: "It's not good, call King Wu!" ”

Song Xingqi was about to wake up King Wu immediately, but Huang Tieniang stopped, "Wait, someone told me in advance that King Wu is newly married, and no one is allowed to go in and disturb him." ”

The messenger recognized Huang Tieniang, jumped off his horse, panted and said, "Outside the city...... News came from outside the city that the officers and soldiers had fought back! If we want us to open the door quickly, they will take refuge in the city. ”

"What's wrong with the officers and soldiers? Let's fight once, and it's not like I haven't seen it. Pass my order, open the city gates, let the women and children into the city first, we can be regarded as a righteous army, and there is no need to drive the people to fight in the front. ”

The messenger didn't move, and Huang Tieniang said angrily: "What, my words are not orders? Tonight I am in charge, no one is allowed to go in, and King Wu cannot come out until dawn. ”

Huang Tieniang did what she said, leaving a hundred female soldiers to guard everywhere, and did not allow King Wu's subordinates to disturb, she herself took the rest of the female soldiers straight to Beicheng, to open the door to accept women and children, and by the way to see what was going on between Niu Tiannu and Ning Bao'er.

It was a fulfilling night for Huang Tieniang.

It was an unexpected night for Xu Ji, sleeping soundly, but missing the important news he had been waiting for.
