Waiting for Wang Yongji, Li Hong and the others to leave, Wang Mang looked at his system taskbar again.

From Novice Emperor Task One to Novice Emperor Task Seven, a total of seven main quests, five of which have been completed by himself, getting rid of the latest Novice Emperor Task Seven, Wang Mang's eyes unconsciously fell on the Novice Emperor Task 2, which had not yet been completed.

Novice Emperor Task 2: Build the Jardine Garden, complete the task, and reward a world map fragment, a divine artifact, and a famous general.

With the continuous completion of various tasks released by the system, Wang Mang now has some understanding of the various tasks released by the system.

This novice emperor task two, it seems that there is no time limit and can be completed at any time, but there is one famous minister and one famous general in the character reward, and now looking back, Wang Mang feels that he has missed something.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Mang had some guesses in his heart, in order to confirm his guess, Wang Mang summoned Deng Fang, directly took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them to Deng Fang, and said: "Send these silver to Shangyuan Palace, if Shangyuan Palace asks, tell them that Yiheyuan should be built faster." ”

"Yes. Deng Fang held the silver and quickly walked towards the Shangyuan Palace.

Shangyuan Palace was responsible for receiving Deng Fang's Li Yueru, and when she heard that Deng Fang was here to send money, Li Yueru frowned, but she informed Shangguan Wan'er of the matter.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Your Majesty said, with this silver, Yihe Garden should be built. Deng Fang honestly repeated Wang Mang's confession.

Shangguan Wan'er accepted the silver, instructed the palace maid to send Deng Fang away, and then looked at the flowers and said: "The emperor gave us another 500,000 taels of silver before and after, according to what was said at the time, the basic version of Yiheyuan should be able to be built, praise, how far has the construction of Yiheyuan progressed now." ”

"As long as the 200,000 taels of silver are put into the construction period, the Jardine Garden can basically be completed within two months. Bao Xi pondered for a while, and said: "But during the construction of Jardine Garden, I added some things here, delaying the construction period, if there is another 100,000 taels of silver, I can complete the construction of Jardine Garden within a month." ”

Everyone didn't care about Bao Xi calling Shangguan Wan'er "I", it seems that Bao Xi has always treated Shangguan Wan'er with such an attitude, and Shangguan Wan'er also didn't care about Bao Xi's attitude, just turned his face to look at Li Yueru and said: "I heard that in order to pacify the south, the emperor paid 300,000 taels out of his own pocket to Wang Yongji to fight, and now he has paid 200,000 taels of silver to the mourning family to repair Yihe Garden. ”

Then, Shangguan Wan'er looked at Bao Xi again and said, "There should be no shortage of money now, so please hurry up and complete the project of Yiheyuan!"

"Yes. "Bao Xi was silent.

Xinyang City.

County office, Zhao Zifan sat in front of Wang Mang with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Wang Zhutou, it's really not that I didn't report the news in advance, it's really that Zhao Zhiheng was too guarded against me, I don't know many plans, and when I knew, he had already led people to surround you, and it would not be appropriate for me to go again, but I was also very righteous, although Zhao Zhiheng coerced and lured me, but I didn't listen to him at all, not only did I not participate in the siege of you, but I also led people to leave Xinyang City directly." ”

"But how did I hear that you watched the excitement for a long time from the window of the restaurant next door?" Wang Mang looked at Zhao Zifan with a smile.

Zhao Zifan smiled awkwardly and said: "Wang Zhutou, this is all a small section, the matter is over, let's not care too much, besides, it's true that I didn't besiege you with Zhao Zhiheng." ”

"Okay, Zhao Sangongzi, let's not talk about those vain heads, I'm surprised, you ran out of Xinyang City, what are you doing when you come back when you have nothing to do?" Wang Mang said.

Do you think I want to run back?

Zhao Zifan burst into tears in his heart, he originally ran out of Xinyang City, planning to run all the way back to Nanyang, but he was still halfway through when he heard the news of Zhao Moqi's anger.

It is said that because of the death of "Yu'er", Zhao Moqian almost went crazy, and even scolded Zhao Zifan for being a bastard, and even blamed Zhao Zifan's death for Yu'er's death.

There is insider information that Zhao Moqian has sent shadow assassins to Xinyang, and these shadow assassins are even tasked with killing Zhao Zifan by the way.

This news came from the way of Zhao Shixiu, the head of the Zhao family, and the authenticity is absolutely reliable.

It was precisely because of this news that Zhao Zifan ran back to Xinyang City almost non-stop, crying and shouting directly to see Wang Mang.

Zhao Zifan knows very well that if the news is true, in the entire Xinyang City, I am afraid that only Wang Mang can protect him, of course, if he returns to Nanyang, he can also save his life, but the question is that if Zhao Moqian really intends to kill him, how can he return to Nanyang safely.

Although Zhao Zifan wanted to conceal it, Wang Mang had a news channel for the painting boat, and he had already gotten a lot of news as early as when Zhao Zifan ran back to Xinyang.

At this moment, seeing Zhao Zifan's eyes rolling, he was obviously ready to make up a story, so he said directly: "Zhao Sangongzi, we don't say secret words, the matter you are facing, the official is very clear, and you yourself are also very clear, since this is the case, then let's open the door and window and say something bright, the official can give you shelter, but what can you provide to the official?"

"Evidence of my brothers' crimes. Zhao Zifan almost didn't think about it, so he was ready to sell his brother.

But Wang Mang smiled and said, "You have already sold the evidence of your brothers' crimes once, and they are worthless here in this official." ”

"Then what do you want?" Zhao Zifan put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "I can tell you the exact location of Wei Changyou and Wang Wengui." ”

"In the eyes of this official, Wei Changyou and Wang Wengui are actually not that important. Wang Mang smiled: "Actually, even if you don't say it, the official of these two people also knows, believe it or not, if the official is willing, within three days, these two people can be tied to the feet of the official." ”

Zhao Zifan's expression changed greatly, he suddenly stood up, turned around and wanted to leave, but after just two steps, he retreated, looked at Wang Mang with a wry smile and said, "It seems that Wang Zhutou has eaten me." ”

"That's right. Wang Mang smiled and said, "Since the first time you stepped here, the official has decided on you, and now it's up to you how you choose." ”

"Do I still have a choice?" Zhao Zifan looked bitter.

"I don't have a choice. Wang Mang shook his head and said coldly: "The imperial court is very dissatisfied with the four major families entrenched in Nanyang, the four major families have done too much over the years, and now they dare to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court, so the imperial court has made a plan, the four major families are not allowed to exist, to be precise, the old four families are not allowed to exist." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Zifan's eyes lit up.

"If you are obedient, you may not become the head of the Zhao family among the new four major families. Wang Mang's voice was like Pandora's magic box, which directly made Zhao Zifan dizzy.

The head of the Zhao family?

Zhao Zifan silently recited dozens of times in his heart, and then kowtowed directly to Wang Mang and said: "From now on, the villain will rely on the orders of the adult, as long as the adult asks the villain to do it, the villain will go to the soup and go to the fire." ”
