The princess's reward came quickly, and before the formalities for Yang Chengzu's silver into the warehouse were completed, Huang Jin had already left Qingyunmen and came to deliver the decree. This time, all the personnel dispatched by the Department of Honor and Guard were rewarded with two months' salary, and Yang Chengzu was rewarded with a thousand taels of platinum and 100 stones of polished rice for his hard work this time.

In Fengxiang Palace, Princess Jiang pulled Zhu Houxi in front of her eyes and looked at it again, "In the past few days, have you ever been hungry and thin?" You kid is really bold, you dare to make your own decisions and leave the house without consulting your mother. If it weren't for your sister's intercession, I would have to let Huang Jin chase you back. ”

The county lord of Changshou sat next to Concubine Jiang and hurriedly persuaded him: "Mother, after all, the younger brother will be in charge of the entire palace in the future, if he is not allowed to sort out the tax on the head of those fields, acres and acres, this financial power will not be able to be obtained after all." After a while, the income of my shop must be explained to my younger brother a little bit, so as not to be deceived. ”

There was still a hint of excitement on Shizi's face, as if this trip was his own contribution. "Mother, I went out this time and learned a lot from Yang Yizheng, I always feel that even if I study history with Yuan Chang for ten years, I may not be able to go out for a few days this time. I understand a lot, those subordinate slaves and maids, it will not be so easy to deceive me again. In the future, if they want to pay rent or pay money, I will have a way to deal with them. ”

"And said." Jiang glanced at his son with disgust, "When your father was alive, he was a virtuous king who was praised by people, and this time his reputation for benevolence and virtue will be harmed a lot." If it weren't for your intercession, I would have beaten Yang Chengzu dozens of boards to let people know that his behavior was not the meaning of our palace. ”

"Mother, he recovered so much rent at once, I'm afraid that there won't be 200,000 silver in the account. If even such a hero is beaten, I'm afraid that the retainer will chill the hearts of others. It's just a complaint from some villains, and the mother just didn't see it. ”

"Indeed, Yang Chengzu's contribution is not small. If the daughter makes a move, she is sure to get the silver back, but I am afraid that she may not be able to do it so neatly. The county lord of Changshou listened to Zhu Houxi's words about the two and nodded frequently.

"If he only recovers the rent, he is just a capable person, and most importantly, he is willing to let himself suffer a loss to complete the reputation of the palace. We really need to win over a loyal minister like this, rather than really use him to maintain my father's reputation. Paying off debts is the biggest truth in the world, whether those people are poor or difficult, but they are all excuses, and they can't really fail to pay their debts because of these. Besides, I don't think they are really poor, if they are used to their problem, our family's rent, don't think about taking it back, and this family business can't be kept. So it's better to simply tell them that Yang Yizheng's meaning is the meaning of the palace, and whoever dares to owe rent and not pay it will end up like this. ”

When she said this, she muttered for a while, "Actually, I was thinking, if this time can be used as an opportunity, whoever can collect the rent in the future will be able to draw a cent of water from it, 200,000 silver, and a cent of water will be 2,000 taels." People die for money, birds die for food, and for this share of the water, I think there may be more and more people who are willing to do things for us. ”

Yang Chengzu handed over the silver, found an excuse to leave the house, and went all the way back to his own house. I saw that everything was normal at home, and there was nothing wrong, but I heard that in the past few days, Anlu had another big incident. Following Wan Jiashu's disappearance, Zhang Sizong also disappeared.

"What? Zhang Sizong was also ticketed? It's impossible, he must have brought a lot of escorts with him, even if we want to move him, it's not an easy task, who is so capable that he can take his ticket? ”

"It's hard to say, but it should be true. Wantong also invited all the famous families of Anlu yesterday to discuss that everyone would get together and redeem Zhang Sizong first. After all, if he had an accident in Anlu, he couldn't afford this responsibility. Elder Sun also specially asked people to come over and take care of a few words, so that we would go out less when we were fine, so as not to be harmed. ”

Ruxian introduced the situation outside, and Miao said: "That Wan Gongzi has been locked in the cellar for so many days, although someone feeds water, but no one gives him food, will he starve to death?" If he dies, won't this matter be in trouble? ”

"Well, I also think that the days are almost over, so I will send someone back to him, I can't really let him die in our place, it's too unlucky."

Hearing that his son was found by the people of the Department of Honor and Guard, Wan Tong naturally did not believe it in his heart, the Department of Honor and Guard was only responsible for the safety of the palace on weekdays, and did not participate in the affairs of the state, if the yamen could not find anyone, then they would not be able to find it. The so-called words that happened to meet a thief, followed the vine, and found the whereabouts of the son, could not deceive him.

After all, he has been a pro-people official for many years, and he has tried many cases, and Wan Tong's brain is not confused. Where could he believe such a flawed lie. But the problem is that you can't catch these people's wrists, so you can only recognize the words they say, and when he finishes the thick stack of confessions in front of him, his face will become even worse.

"Yang Yizheng, what do you mean by this, what is the purpose of showing this to the official."

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything. It's just that when they were catching the thieves, they ran in a hurry and inadvertently left these things behind. I took a few brief glances and found that the stakes were very high, and if I went out, I was afraid that it would not be a good thing for you and Ling Gongzi, so I sent it to you. Please keep it away. ”

Of course, Wan Tong understands the threat in these words, but the weight of this thing is too heavy, and there are many things that involve women's selfishness, which is definitely not something that can be made up. And his son's conduct, the father is also very clear, rich and talented, uninhibited, what is hidden in this, it is also clear. The other party is certainly not slandering, and it can't be slandered.

If this thing flows out, not only will it be finished for itself, but also for its own son. Those angry famous clans, I don't know what means they will use to retaliate, but one thing is certain, their father and son, can no match this monstrous anger.

Tie Wantong's face changed several times, but finally he calmed down and asked in a cold voice: "If you give me this thing, don't you have anything else to say?" ”

Yang Chengzu's expression was still so natural, as if he didn't know how much weight he had given.

"As I said, I'm just afraid that these things will fall out neatly, in case someone picks them up, and it happens that he knows how to read, and it happens that this person likes to chew his tongue without knowing the importance of it, and he doesn't know what to say. It's not good for you or Linglang, is it? So you put your things away, and I don't have much else to say. It's just that what I said last time, I also hope you will think about it, the people of the Honor and Guard Division are not easy to live, and they must be given the food and salary they should be given. Also, the old king is in Japan, and the court treats him very well. Now as soon as the people left, they stopped Lu Mi, if the princess really repaired the book and cried in front of Banzai, I think Wanzhou Mu is not good-looking, you think about it. ”

Wan Tong said in a deep voice: "You mean, you have to do these things for the sake of the Honor Guard Division and the Xingwang Mansion?" Don't you know that after these things are done, they won't just be forgotten? ”
