The Southwest Army had no objection to the peace negotiated by Chen Shan before his death, and had no intention of overturning it, at least on the surface. Then there is no objection to being incorporated into the Great Chu Army and rushed to the frontier under the direct leadership of the Great Chu Army to defend against the enemy.

"Major General Huang," the staff lifted the curtain and walked into the tent, placing a thick stack of papers on the desk, and several generals in armor and ready to go in the tent all turned to look at him.

"Are you done counting the numbers?" Major General Huang looked at him and asked.

The staff nodded: "It's no problem, it's just ......"

And just that? The faces of several generals became nervous at the moment, and the departure is imminent, nothing will happen again!

"Just what?" Major General Huang glanced at everyone's faces and asked.

It's better to ask clearly on the spot if there is anything, so as not to feel uneasy when you set off.

The staff said: "The Southwest Army did not put up any resistance and voluntarily joined the army, but more than a dozen people chose to retire due to old age, physical injuries and other reasons. He paused as he spoke, and then said, "Among them, there are three veterans of the Southwest Army in the past, and the remaining ten people in the Southwest Army, who are said to be Chen Shan's most trusted subordinates when he was alive. ”

In other words, these people are all in the old department of the southwest, and they are in the old department closest to Chen Shan. Such a close old ministry will not change their allegiance and faith because of Chen Shan's life and death.

This matter can be big or small, maybe because Chen Shan died, these people don't want to be led by others anymore and choose to retire, or maybe they have to do something else. But by this time, the trumpet of the camp outside had sounded, and they could not linger any longer.

Everyone sighed, a little helpless, looking at everyone's faces, even if they were about to leave, General Huang still asked: "After Chen Shan's body was transported into the Southwest Army, these old southwest troops ...... What did they do? ”

"I found a puppet for an autopsy, and it is said that it is an extremely powerful puppet, and Chen Shan trusted it very much before his death." The staff said, "The results of the test are completely consistent with what Xiao Cui said. ”

Hearing this, the battalion commanders invariably breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing when they found that everyone was doing the same thing. They themselves didn't know where this nervousness came from, but at that moment, their hearts were raised.

"Let's pull out the camp!" Major General Huang sighed for a moment before speaking, although he couldn't see anything through the tent, he still glanced in the direction of the southwest military camp, and then said, "The rest of the things are not in our hands." ”

Hurry to the frontier and fend off the alien invasion is what they should do.

……

Even if it is merged into the Great Chu Army, it can still be seen from one of them at a glance which ones are the Southwest Army and which are the Chu Army, and those with white cloths on their bodies are the Southwest Army. As soon as Chen Shan died, the whole army mourned, and the southwest army cried constantly that night. Even though they were about to go to a new battlefield, these Southwest Army still used this method to show their respect for their former commander.

This kind of thing, of course, the generals of Da Chu will not stop it.

Not to stop not only them, but also those old southwestern ministries.

The camp tent was put away one by one, but no one in the middle of the camp had to take it away from beginning to end, looking at the southwest army that was gradually leaving outside, some people in this camp frowned slightly.

"Don't you stop them?"

"No need, let them go! Hou Ye is dead, their task is also completed, it is enough to remember Hou Ye's goodness! A gray-haired veteran sitting in the middle said, he was still wearing the uniform of the Southwest Army, I don't know if it was too late to change it or something else.

This is the blocking in the mouth of ten retired southwest generals who are either old or physically injured, and the blocking of the Great Chu generals is obviously not the same thing.

Hou Ye's body clearly shows that Hou Ye was poisoned first, and after being poisoned, he was stabbed to death.

There was a pot of black smoke flowers and plants on the table, and there was a dagger next to the flowers and plants, and the Cui family disciple didn't even touch the corpse of Hou Ye when he sent it back, and this dagger was inserted on top of the corpse.

The poison is this poison, and the dagger is also this dagger. It has been tested and is completely consistent.

The flowers and plants were sent by Chen Li, they saw it with their own eyes that day, and the dagger was also Chen Li's personal dagger, they had seen it many times in the past, not to mention that the ten good men in the army among them saw the last face of Hou Ye before his death was indeed with Chen Li, but no one thought that Hou Ye would die in the hands of Chen Li, who was useless

There are all human and material evidence, and there is no way to deny it, and Chen Li's reaction also responded to the matter, and after discovering that the Cui family's children transported the body of the Hou Ye back, they fled to the southwest mansion overnight.

It seems that he is going to take over the new king of the southwest of the Great Chu Empress.

"Killing Chen Li is what Hou Ye has to do before he is alive, and what Hou Ye has not finished will be done by us!" The veteran said, "In addition, Master Hou left a secret order before his death...... A secret order that the Hou Ye will not die and will not be opened! ”

The veteran spoke solemnly, with sorrow and cruelty: "Listen to orders! ”

A dozen people in the camp immediately knelt down.

The veteran did not immediately say the contents of the secret order, but turned around and pushed the desk open, lifted the thick velvet blanket spread in the tent, revealing a square stone slab, the veteran moved the stone slab, and the black hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

There was actually a secret room under the tent, but none of the dozen or so people in the camp showed the slightest surprise.

In the small secret room, there are more than 20 huge wooden boxes.

The wooden box was opened, and the neatly stacked gold bars reflected the dimly lit secret room with an indescribable extravagance.

Since ancient times, the golden silk has moved people's hearts, but none of these dozen people have a greedy look. They are Hou Ye's most loyal subordinates, no matter whether Hou Ye lives or dies, as long as it is Hou Ye's order, they will follow him regardless of everything.

The veteran snatched a gold bar from the wooden box, and a boxy seal was still revealed in the dim light of the fire.

Chase Bank.

A money village that has been in business for several generations for a hundred years has collapsed because the books are uneven, and only a behemoth like Langya Wang dares to take over such messy accounts in the world. However, for them, how Chase Money is no longer has anything to do with them.

These lost gold bars from Chase are here.

"Since you want to gamble big, you must have the consciousness of losing." The veteran threw the gold bar back into the wooden box with a solemn expression, "When you get below, Master Hou will explain it clearly to the Qian family." ”

The gamble failed, and the original owner of Chase Bank, the Qian family, had no need to live, and two days ago, seventy-six members of the Qian family died in an unknown fire.

Money is not everything, but many things can be done through money, and they can do a lot with it.

After checking and locking the wooden box, the veteran spoke.

"Go Southwest!"

This last secret order is to be launched in the Southwest Province!

……

……

Everything seems to have settled, and Chang'an City has returned to its former prosperity. People came and went in the night market, standing on a high place and looking in the direction of Huang Tiandao, I saw that the lights on both sides of the street lit up the entire Chang'an Night City like two long dragons, and it seemed that I could faintly hear the voices and music coming from this side.

Wang Xu yawned, retracted his gaze, no longer looked in the direction of Huang Tiandao, and shouted, "Tea!" ”

"Childe, the tea is cold, let the small one go change it!" The scholar said respectfully on the side.

"No need." Wang Xu took the cold tea and poured half a cup into it, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and then said, "Save it!" Didn't you see that my grandfather hasn't added anything new recently? ”

Taking over Chase Money is of course a good thing in the long run, as long as the Wang family does not fall, this account will be earned back sooner or later, but it will be saved in a short period of time.

That money is almost empty!

The sound of the abacus "crackling" in the house came, and Wang Xu turned around and saw that everyone in the room stopped one after another.

In the brightly lit room, the whole room was filled with students dressed in the official robes of household officials, the official officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the students of the Guozi Supervision College.

The Wang family wants to borrow someone to calculate the accounts, and they naturally want to give this face, not to mention that it is not for nothing, and this reward is quite a lot.

"Settled?" Wang Xu asked.

"This account ......" a household measurement official frowned, and did not say any more in the middle of the sentence.

Wang Xu's face froze, of course he knew what this household official meant, and he was afraid that something was wrong with the account.

Compared with the "euphemism" of measuring the small officials, students who have not yet entered the department will not think so much, and said bluntly.

"That's not right!"

This conclusion is not the answer given by one person or two people, but by everyone in the room.

After paying the remuneration and sending away these officials and students who had borrowed to settle accounts, Wang Xu raised his voice and shouted, "Someone! ”。

The steward came.

"Where did grandfather go?"

The steward said: "The old lady has gone to Pei's mansion." ”

These days, Mrs. Wang goes to Pei's Mansion very diligently, and I don't know what attracts Mrs. Wang in Pei's Mansion so much.

However, Wang Xu didn't think so much about it at this time, but immediately took the account book and asked someone to hurry to Pei's mansion.

When I arrived at Pei's Mansion, I found that Cui and Xie were also there, Cui Yuandao and Pei Xingting were playing, and Old Lady Wang and Old Lady Xie were watching chess from the sidelines.

Could it be that Mrs. Wang is obsessed with coming to Pei's Mansion to watch chess? Wang Xu felt a little strange, although his grandfather said that he could play chess, it was rare to say that he was obsessed with such diligence, but now was not the time to say this.

Old lady Wang naturally knew that it would not be a trivial matter to make Wang Xu come in a hurry, so when he saw this, he took him out, and it was not until there was no one around that he asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"Grandfather," Wang Xu said, "two days ago, seventy-six members of the Qian clan died in a fire, and Sun Er felt a little strange, so he found the account books of the Qian clan and checked the accounts. ”

Old Lady Wang nodded, of course he knew about it. At this juncture, no one in a family of 76 escaped, this is a strange thing, if Wang Xu doesn't investigate, then he will be held accountable.

"The Southwest Army has been merged into the Chu Army, and I have also asked someone to find the account books of the Southwest armament expenditure." Wang Xu's expression became more and more subtle as he spoke.

"The accident at Chase Money Bank is that a large amount of money is missing, and there is a problem with the account. I thought that this money had fallen into the Southwest Army, so I looked for someone to calculate it, but found that the Southwest Army's expenses were as usual, there was no problem, and Chen Shan's private accounts were even cleaner. Later, I guessed whether the money was still in the hands of the Qian family, and checked the Qian family's account, but found that the account was still uneven. As for the Qian family, they dug three feet into the ground and didn't find anything suspicious......"

Until this time, Mrs. Wang had already understood: this money ...... Gone, vanished out of thin air.

I don't know what he thought, the expression on his face changed several times, and he was about to speak, but someone opened his mouth before him.

"How much is this big sum of money?"

The voice was old, but it was not the voice of my grandfather. Wang Xu followed the prestige in surprise, but saw an old man walking out of the corner under the moonlight. His gaze fell on the old man's smooth head, and now he understood why his grandfather had come to Pei's Mansion so diligently these days. It turned out that the Tianguang Master "Yunyou" came here.

Wang Xu suddenly felt a little funny, he was used to seeing the appearance of Master Tianguang, and he was afraid that few people in this world could see it with their own eyes! It was really not in vain!

Although he thought like this, he still bowed his head and shouted "Master Tianguang" before raising his head, and said, "Three hundred thousand taels!" ”

"Amitabha!" Master Tianguang immediately sighed, "This is really not a small amount!" ”

Even if the power is as big as the Wang family, it is a little unbearable, no wonder Wang Xu is so nervous and hurriedly came over.

Old lady Wang looked up at him with a strange expression and said, "Gold." ”

Master Tianguang's face changed drastically.

300,000 taels of silver and 300,000 taels of gold are naturally not the same.

If 300,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, then 300,000 taels of gold is a huge amount of money, and when stacked up, it can be piled up into a small mountain of gold.

"It's gold! No wonder! Master Tianguang sighed, "The private collections of the Qian family for several generations can't erase this account!" ”

There are thousands of businesses in the world, and Qian Zhuang is one of the well-known good business, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "cornucopia", the efforts of several generations of the Qian family will operate Datong Qian Zhuang to such a scale, and the financial resources are naturally extraordinary, and in the whole Dachu, its financial resources are also ranked first. This bad debt that can be erased by the Qian family is naturally not small, and although 300,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, but judging from the power of the Qian family that has been in business for a hundred years, it may not be erased.

"Three hundred thousand taels of gold are missing." Old Lady Wang said and looked at Master Tianguang, "What does the master think 300,000 taels of gold can do?" ”

This is beyond the scope of ordinary people's lives.

I don't know if the moonlight is too cold, and under the moonlight, the Tianguang master's face is bloodless and his face is as pale as paper.

"Like rebellion." Master Tianguang said, paused, and smiled again, "But now the Southwest Army has followed the Great Chu Army to the border, and there is no one to rebel." ”

"Yes, if you talk about rebellion, there is nothing easier than taking over the Southwest Army, so it is not a rebellion." Old lady Wang's face was a little pale, but it did not completely improve, he said with a straight face, "It's just that even if it's not a rebellion, it must be a major event that is not inferior to a rebellion!" ”
