"Before I came, I boasted about Haikou in front of the emperor, Master Yang, in fact, I didn't say you, with the strength of the Yang family back then, you couldn't keep that batch of silver taels, how likely do you think you can keep it? Your Yang family is now only left with the old man and Yang Linshan, and after this time, I will naturally recommend Yang Linshan to the emperor as the assassin of the village, as for the rest, it depends on Yang Linshan himself. ”

Qian Fan secretly glanced at Nalan Minhao, stuck out his tongue, seemed to be very satisfied with the change in Master Yang's attitude, and said with a smile: "Leave enough silver taels for the development of the Yang family, and the rest will be used to help Yicheng rebuild, and the Yang family will still be a respected Confucian in Yicheng at that time, don't you think this is very worthwhile?" ”

"Little girl, you won't be yin to me, will you?" Although Master Yang muttered a little in his heart, he still raised his head and asked: "Although I am old, I am not unreasonable, if Huangyuan Country needs it, the old man must be duty-bound, but if it is not in the eyes of the emperor, the old man will not be able to disperse the family wealth, do you say?" ”

"Old man, you have suffered for so long, and you can still bargain with me here, which means that your body and bones are not bad, Yang Linshan has suffered a lot, at least he has been lying in bed for five whole days without moving, so don't you think people have to leave some thoughts for future generations, do you?" Qian Fan said with a smile: "Fame is far more important than money, what do you say?" ”

"Little girl, you have a lot of plans for the new emperor!" Master Yang narrowed his eyes, looked at Qian Fan and said, "The old man has to think about it, you can't let you have the final say, let's talk about other things later!" ”

"Good!" Qian Fan got up with a smile, and then the members of the dark department who came in carried Master Yang out, and Nalan Minhao walked up to Qian Fan and said, "Why do you want this batch of silver taels so much?" Is there a shortage of silver? ”

"Do you know what Xiao Qi told me before?" Qianfan motioned for Xiaoyu to also go out, and then said to Nalan Minhao: "Xiao Qi said that he asked people to count the treasury that day and found that there was no surplus of 100,000 taels in it, and Yicheng obviously can't expect the imperial court to rebuild, so what do you say we should do?" You can't make your own money, can you? ”

"One hundred thousand taels?" Nalan Minhao felt incredible, because as far as the Shizi Mansion was concerned, the worst time for each month was 50,000 taels, but there were only 100,000 taels left in the huge Huangyuan State treasury?

"Xiao Qi said that he suspected that his father was in a hurry to abdicate at that time, and it is very likely that this is also the most critical point, because the treasury is too empty, and all those silver have been sent down for disaster relief, you also know the temper of the emperor, so he is naturally reluctant to say such a thing."

Qian Fan shook his head helplessly and said: "I heard Liang Jin say that the Yang family's silver mountain is at least 10 million taels, if a few million taels are left for the Yang family, the remaining half will be used for the reconstruction of Yicheng, and half will fill the treasury. ”

"I really didn't expect that the emperor would leave such a mess to Xiao Qi," Nalan Minhao also sighed and said, "It's just that who wants to give away their silver for no reason?" ”

"The old man of the Yang family is shrewd, I just deliberately said in front of him that the emperor knew about it, you said that if the emperor knew that your family had so much money, he would not have to worry about it all day long?" Qian Fan said lightly: "But this matter depends on the old man's own opinion, if you want to do things that are both fame and fortune in this world, you have to have a similar one, right?" ”

"Fan'er, I now find that you are really getting more and more thieves!" Nalan Minhao said with a smile: "We have almost solved the matter here in Yicheng, and the rest is to go back to deal with Yang Zhen and Master Xu!" ”

"Didn't you already write a letter to tell Xiao Qi?" Qian Fan smiled and glanced at Nalan Minhao and said, "Presumably, Bachelor Xu's letter can't be sent at all, and the person has already been arrested by Xiao Qi, right?" ”

"Hey, women can't be too smart, so men don't have any happiness!" Nalan Minhao joked with a smile, then took Qianfan's hand and walked out, saying as he walked: "Let's take down the people as soon as possible, so as not to delay here!" ”

Early the next morning, Yang Zhen was still asleep, and was suddenly broken into the mansion by a group of soldiers, and before he could react, he was already taken into prison, and many people saw this scene and speculated about what happened.

Not long after, a notice was posted outside the Assassin's Mansion, stating that Yang Zhen slaughtered the people, embezzled two pieces of disaster relief silver, and also set up a private torture hall to buy murder, and the crime should be punished, and he would be escorted to the capital three days later, and the emperor would personally interrogate him, and at the same time inform the people of the village that Yicheng would be rebuilt in the near future, and all the people who fled from Yicheng could move back.

At the same time, the mansion of Master Xu, who was lying drunk in Gentle Township, was also suddenly surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, and then everyone was taken down and imprisoned, although Master Xu received Yang Zhen's letterhead, but the new emperor had rewarded him the day before, so he didn't realize that he had been targeted.

Because of this, the Praetorian Guards found a lot of letters and silver taels exchanged with some local officials in Xu's mansion, so that officials in various places were arrested so that people were panicked, but the new emperor burned all the unopened letters in front of hundreds of civil and military officials after arresting Xu.

At this time, everyone's hearts fell to the ground, and they were naturally grateful to Laurangkong, and after discussing with Yang Linshan for one night, Master Yang took the initiative to tell Qianfan where the silver two were hidden.

After Qianfan counted the silver taels, it was divided into three parts, one of which was handed over to Master Yang, and the other was handed over to Yang Linshan for the reconstruction of Yicheng, and the last one was escorted back to Beijing by Lan Xiaoling, and then Luo Langkong gave the Yang family a gold plaque to reward the Yang family for the feelings of the country and the people.

Before leaving, Qianfan specially went to see Yang Zhen in prison, and when she walked in front of Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen didn't seem to be very surprised to see her.

"Yang Zhen, oh, no, Chen Xu, long time no see." Qian Fan looked at Yang Zhen, who was sitting in prison clothes and said lightly: "The last vein of the Chen family will definitely dissipate completely when it arrives in the capital." ”

"I shouldn't have believed that you were thinking about me from the beginning, I should have guessed that you deliberately didn't take me to prison in order to stabilize Lord Xu!" Yang Zhen seems to have figured out why Qianfan deliberately took down Liang Jin when Liang Jin exposed him, and he also spoke for himself everywhere.

"Of course, do you think I'm going to be merciful to a man whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent people?" Qian Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Should I say that you are still as naïve as you were back then, or that you have not grown at all over the years?" ”

"What's the difference?" Yang Zhen snorted coldly and said: "The reason why I touched that imperial gift had a lot to do with you back then, and I now suspect that the reason why I slipped my hand back then was completely because you found someone to do it on purpose!" ”

"It seems that you are not stupid, at least you can think through some things after so many years," Qian Fan suddenly laughed when he heard Yang Zhen's words and said, "The reason why the Chen family was able to fall so quickly back then was really thanks to you!" ”

"You really did it!" Yang Zhen suddenly stood up excitedly, pointed at Qianfan and asked, "Why did you hurt me back then!" ”

"What did I do?" Qianfan looked at Yang Zhen and said calmly: "I have no grievances with you, so why should I harm you?" Besides, the Yang family was to blame back then, just like today's Bachelor Xu, isn't it the same reason? Yang Zhen, isn't it possible that you haven't seen through it for so many years? Sometimes it's not that someone else wants to harm you, but that what he does happens to cater to the thoughts of the superiors, and that's it. ”

"You mean, the emperor is going to kill Master Xu......" Yang Zhen has been in the officialdom for many years, this brain is still there, over the years, Master Xu's appetite has become bigger and bigger, and he has become more and more fearless, sometimes Yang Zhen will be frightened, but he doesn't care, openly buying and selling officials in the following places, no wonder the emperor will deal with him.

"I'll just say, you're not stupid, but it's obvious that you've taken the wrong path, Yang Zhen, don't blame me for looking down on you, you obviously had the opportunity to change your identity and start over, but you killed more than 100 members of the Yang family for your own selfish interests, and then killed the people in order to cover up the crime, do you say you're not afraid of being punished by God?" Qian Fan shook his head, sighed and said: "Master Xu conspired with you to assassinate Qin Cha Wei Zhiyang, the emperor was furious, and he has already chosen a day to announce the beheading, and it is estimated that even if you go to the capital, you will not see Master Xu." ”

"Conspiracy? I didn't! When Yang Zhen heard Qianfan's words, he immediately shouted excitedly: "I didn't want to assassinate Qin Cha!" ”

"But the letterhead you wrote to Bachelor Xu fell into the hands of the emperor, and the letterhead that Bachelor Xu replied to you only wrote three words: Kill without forgiveness, you said that no one would believe him if he didn't let you assassinate Qincha," Qian Fan scratched his head, looked at Yang Zhen and said: "And you said that this matter has nothing to do with you, but if it wasn't for the fact that Bachelor Xu was arrested at this juncture, would you really not assassinate Wei Zhiyang when you received his letter?" I'm afraid only you know this in your own heart. ”

"Yue Qianfan, you save me, as long as you save me, I can give you anything, I have a lot of silver!" Yang Zhen knew that he was certain to die this time, and immediately begged: "I can give you all the gold, silver and jewelry!" ”

"If you meet this time, you are a Qing official like Yang Linshan who asks for the people's life, maybe I won't mention the things of the year again, but it's a pity that you yourself have taken the wrong path!" Qian Fan got up calmly, just about to walk out but stopped again, and said lightly: "I forgot to tell you, I promised Liang Jin that he would give him three chances to kill you along the way, if he kills you, I will naturally give an explanation to the emperor, if he can't kill you, then your crime will be decided by the emperor." ”

"You blatantly let him kill me! Aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you! Yang Zhen was shocked when he thought that he had to worry about someone trying to kill him day and night along the way, and immediately yelled, hoping that Qian Fan would change his mind, but Qian Fan didn't pay attention to him at all, and soon disappeared.

Until he walked to the door, Qianfan looked up at the night sky, smiled faintly, and said secretly in his heart: "Blame me?" Xiao Qi is afraid that he can't solve you on the road, so that he won't have to worry too much! ”

"Princess! Yang Linshan asked his subordinates to report to you, saying that he wanted to see you, and he had something to tell the princess! At this time, Xiao Yu suddenly appeared behind Qian Fan and said in a low voice.
