In these years, there is no bright night scene, and the night in the city is already very deep;

At this time, the subordinates of Shangshu Mansion were already asleep, and even the two firewood dogs were drooping their heads and lying on their stomachs in the firewood and grass piles by the wall.

"Master, what's the matter, if you have something to worry about, you might as well talk to the concubine."

The fifty-year-old woman lying next to Zheng Xin in the inner house woke up and found that he was still tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and occasionally couldn't help sighing, so she opened her mouth to comfort.

"Hey~~, good wife, you can rest, don't ask!"

Zheng Xin's irritability, it is nothing more than He Xian being forced to flee the capital, and being convicted of rebellion, and they, the courtiers who are close to King Fu, will definitely face suppression in the future.

Even if Zheng Xin, Ge Hongqin and other old ministers are helpless in this matter, what is the use of telling their wives.

Wang~~~, woo~~~

Just as the woman was about to say more, two dog barks came from the outer courtyard, and then there was silence in the whimper.

"Madam, don't move, I'll go out and have a look, maybe it's a thief at home."

When Zheng Xin, who was very sensitive, spoke, he sat up from the bed with a grunt, felt the fire chain under the pillow, lit the candlestick, put on his coat and was about to open the door.

"Master, are you making too much of a fuss, there is a vigil in the house, how can a thief sneak in quietly...... Ah~~, who are you? ”

Zheng Xin wanted to go out, and the woman would not sleep alone, and she must have gone out with her.

It's just that she had just dressed and got out of bed, when she saw that the old man who had just opened the door was held to his throat with a sharp knife and retreated, and he suddenly exclaimed.

"Stun her, but sister, you start lightly, remember that we are the Great Inner Jinyi Guard, not a robber who kills people and oversells goods......"

"Big brother, don't worry!"

At the same time as the hoarse exit of the comer, a woman in black with a graceful figure came quickly in response, knocked the woman who wanted to shout loudly with a wave of her palm, and then laid her flat on the bed.

"Who are you? What did you do when you came to my house late at night? ”

Although the other party's voice was hoarse, it sounded like a gangster who killed people without blinking, but the meaning of his words made Zheng Xin feel even more bad, and he hurriedly frowned and asked.

"We are the Great Inner Jinyi Guard, which directly belongs to His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Zheng Xinzheng, right, you have been in He Fengli in 113, Emperor Greedy Mo allocated more than 30,000 taels of silver for the project of reinforcing the Yangtze River embankment......

In 115, He Fengli accepted bribes from the Yellow River Defense Bureau and embezzled more than 46,000 taels of silver;

There is also a 117th year of Fengli...... Ho Feng Li 121...... He Fengli 126...... Now that the evidence is conclusive, you cannot deny where the stolen money is hidden? ”

The person who came took out a gold medal from his arms, shook it in front of Zheng Xin's eyes, and then asked with a sneer.

"My lord, I am wronged, the old man is honest and honest, I don't know who planted me for your hearsay words......"

As a veteran of the two dynasties, those secret things at the beginning, except for a few insiders, were also allies in the court;

Even the deceased emperor and the current saint He Yu didn't know, but the other party could tell them one by one, so Zheng Xin didn't know that he was not frightened.

But fortunately, this old guy, an old fritter who has been in the official service for decades, hurriedly denied it in order to hide his weakness.

"I still want to deny it, Song Ting, the servant of the ministry, has already confessed, and to tell you the truth, Song Ting is willing to take out all the family property and confess all the charges against you, Cui Yongnian, and Li Ding......

Zheng Xin, listen, there is only one chance, our patience is limited, and the patience of the prince and the saint has reached the critical point of the outbreak, if you don't atone for your sins like Song Ting, you will wait to be raided tomorrow. ”

is still the same set of methods to deal with Song Ting, the official department's meritorious service department, while threatening, coupled with the deception of sparing no effort;

Liu Huayun said very clearly, if it weren't for the current foreign enemies, and the emperor cared about them being old ministers for decades, there would be no need to let them take out the stolen money to make a big deal small, and it would be their fate to directly raid their homes and destroy them.

It's over, this is indeed the handwriting of Song Ting's old puppet, damn it, this old thing betrayed us so shamelessly in order to survive......

Looking at the rice paper unfolded by Liu Huayun, while Zheng Xinxin was secretly scolding, his forehead was also soaked with cold sweat, his eyes flashed sharply, the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness, and finally nodded helplessly......

"Xianggong, you can really do it, we only went to two houses tonight, and in less than half an hour, we found no less than 600,000 taels of stolen silver......

If this momentum continues, it won't be long before you can perfectly deliver the errand ordered by the emperor and his old man. ”

A moment later, under the hazy moonlight, Liu Ruoping, who had left Zheng Xin's mansion, sneered and said softly to Liu Huayun, who was holding her little hand.

"Well~~~, Sister Ping, what you said is good, however, let's not be too optimistic, Zheng Xin, Song Ting and others all have real power, and they must have a lot of stolen silver;

But Cui Yongnian, Ge Xiao, Li Ding, and Zhou Yi ...... For others, it is already very good to have 100,000 taels, or even tens of thousands of taels, even if we loot all the ministers in the court, it will only be about 2 million taels, which is only enough for a year or two of military salaries......

In case we have a long night, we have to work hard a little more tonight and greet all these guys. ”

As Liu Huayun said the day before yesterday and the old emperor He Yu, passive defense can only be beaten, and offense is the best defense;

Whether it is against Mongolia in the northwest or the Jurchens in the northeast, his ideal state is to send them all back to the hinterland, so that they can honestly bow down and pay tribute every year.

In this way, Dafeng can maintain long-term peace and stability, and he himself can do business with peace of mind, develop modern agriculture, and study, research, and produce high-tech products such as high-power firearms and electrical appliances.

Liu Huayun's previous life was as powerful as the Ming Dynasty, and it was not that the Mongolian iron hoof wiped out 500,000 troops, and the capital was almost unprotected, and later spent nearly 10 million taels to build the Great Wall to defend it.

Dafeng wants to completely crush the foreign enemy, and it is far from enough to rely on the Yang family army led by Yang Yunzhao, who is the leader alone, after all, there are still Jurchen iron hooves in the Northeast waiting for the opportunity;

Whether the guns and artillery that are easy to carry can be mass-produced, Dafeng has time to train a strong army that is skillfully used, which is the key to defeating the enemy.

And the silver money of about 2 million taels is only enough for the consumption of a two-front battle for a year or two, how can Liu Huayun be happy.

"Xianggong, Dafeng is the Dafeng of the world, not our family, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, don't be tired of yourself......"

After listening to Liu Huayun's explanation, Liu Ruoping nodded softly and comforted with a light smile.

"Well, Sister Ping, what you said is, but in order to be able to give an account to the old man as soon as possible, Xianggong needs to replenish his energy now......"

At this time, it was late spring, and on April 14, Liu Huayun said goodbye to Dong Xiaowan and Alice and set off from Jinling;

Today happens to be the end of April, the crescent moon behind the clouds is like a smooth boat, on the cold eaves, Liu Huayun took the little demon girl into his arms at the same time, he opened his mouth to say.

"Hmm~~, I listen to your ......"

With a soft hum, the two hugged each other tightly, and their lips ...... After a while, Liu Huayun, who had returned to force again, took Liu Ruoping and floated towards Ge Xiao's house not far away.

"Damn Zheng Xin, you shameless villain!"

"Go, you can't die well!"

In this way, in this dull night, the mansions of the imperial court were patronized, and many people were cursing their old friends who were on the same front after Liu Huayun and the others left;

Since then, the situation in which the ministers of the DPRK and China formed an offensive and defensive alliance against the emperor He Yu may be gone forever.

It wasn't until the golden rooster broke dawn and there was a moment of darkness that Liu Huayun and Liu Ruoping, who had a large number of testimonies, floated into the courtyard of Shilang's Mansion.
