Xiao Rui said: "The reality on the other side has also been investigated. This time, the leader of Dayu's side is really not small, he turned out to be a member of the Dayu royal family, or the apprentice of the high priest of Dayu Wumen, the king of Southern Xinjiang. This Agoura is a good fighter. Although this time the soldiers he led were not regular troops, but temporary troops drawn from nearby tribes. However, it has been a year or two of hard work in his hands, and the training for him has begun to take shape. Just look at the marching camp on the other side of the river. We can't take it lightly. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Agoura is a character, and I have also calculated for this march. Although it is only a simple calculation, if nothing else, it will not be a problem according to our previous combat strategy. This was calculated by Lord Xuangui himself using a jade plate for me as a measuring tool. ”

"The important thing is that behind the marching camp tent of Dayu on the opposite side is where the formation of the twelve-point array is located. We must fight quickly and defeat these people as soon as possible, so that I can go to the division and break the division. ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Well, we will solve it as soon as possible." You can't be distracted, always pay attention to the calculations, see if there will be any changes, and my side will arrange for the vanguard army to fight as soon as possible. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded solemnly.

The battle has begun on this side of the waterside mountain. The reckoning in the capital also began. Emperor Changping did not show mercy to Xiao Xi's henchmen this time. It was even harsher than the henchmen who dealt with Xiao Yi back then. Because, Emperor Changping, who protected his shortcomings, always believed that his sons were not wrong, and it was these henchmen who instigated his good children to compete for power with each other, so that the two sons died and were seriously injured in the end.

Emperor Changping hated these people to death, and dealt with these people strictly except for the Song family, of course, it was not that they were guilty of following Xiao Xi. It mainly depends on whether they have taken bribes and bent the law. If there is, it will be disposed of according to the law, and if not, it will naturally be let go.

The first to bear the brunt is Li Zhaoyi's maiden family, the Li family. In the past few years, the Li family has produced a prince and a virtuous concubine, so they have interfered everywhere, done a lot of things that are corrupt and perverted by the common people, and even used money such as disaster relief and building big river dams.

Emperor Changping was naturally not soft-hearted, and directly raided the Li family. Of course, this time, Emperor Changping did not exterminate the Li family, because the Li family was still good before. Because the Li family used to be threatened by Empress Yang's maiden family, they didn't dare to raise their heads, so they didn't care about doing bad things, bad things were done in recent years. Emperor Changping also opened the net and exiled the Li family to the overseas island of Zhuxia Island as coolies.

The second is when. Although Shi Fang is not a first-class member now, and he is far away from the prime minister, so he does not have the opportunity to bring disaster to the country and the people like Qin Mingyue in his previous life, but he still did a lot of corrupt things with Xiao Xi's trust, and even most of Xiao Xi's henchmen were given to Long by Shi Fang.

Emperor Changping was not soft on Shi Fang, and he directly killed Shi Fang. The He family also raided the house, but the He family let it go and sent it directly to Pillow Xia Island as a coolie.

Most of the rest of the henchmen were dealt with in the same way as when they were done. Most of them were raided and exiled to Pillow Island, and the first evil was beheaded. It provided a lot of coolies for Pillow Island.

Xiao Xi's money bag, Jinyang Hou Hua's family, was not let go. The Hua family relied on Xiao Xi's strength to bully and dominate the market in the silk business, and committed a great crime of exploiting Jiangnan merchants and weavers.

Emperor Changping directly exiled the Marquis of Jinyang to Pillow Xia Island. Most of the property of the Hou Hua family in Jinyang was also copied. It only retains the dowry of the previous hostesses of the Hua family. As for the title inherited from generation to generation of the Marquis of Jinyang, it was also taken away.

From then on, among the nobles, the Marquis of Jinyang is gone.

The whole capital is half happy, half sad. The sorrow is Xiao Xi's party, either demoted or exiled, and twenty or thirty families have been beaten to the dust. Rejoicing are the rest of the nobles of the capital. The property of these twenty or thirty noble families was confiscated and sold. Many trades and industries have been bought by these nobles.

Emperor Changping is money bag has risen sharply, and the nobles of the capital have also added a lot of industries. It's a happy situation.

On this day, Zeng Yutong, the Duchess of Liguo, was taking inventory, she took out some of the silver money generated in her dowry in the past few years, and borrowed some of it, taking this opportunity to buy a lot of grange shops. I also bought a restaurant. In addition to buying property for her dowry, she also took out all the income of the Guogong Mansion in the past few years, and also bought a lot of shops and granges.

When the assets are inflated, they have to assign people to manage them, and they have to take stock of the accounts, and they are very busy. At this time, the eldest girl beside Mrs. Yin, Ziyan, came over and said, "Madam, the old lady is at Mrs. Tai's." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Hua family came over to cry again. ”

Zeng Yutong was upset for a while. Because Zeng Yutong was officially crowned by the imperial court, Mrs. Yin was promoted to the old lady, and Qin Mingyue's grandmother, Mrs. An, was promoted to Mrs. Tai. These two old duchesses are related to the Hua family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and now, the Hua family has changed from a noble to a commoner, most of the family property has been copied, and the business is also crumbling, and the family Jinyang Hou died on the way to exile. Hua Yixuan, the current head of the Hua family, has no ability at all except for his beautiful appearance, so he naturally can't support the Hua family's industry.

The two women of the Hua family often came to the Qin family to find the two old duchess to cry and seek the protection of the Qin family.

Zeng Yutong had no choice but to put down the accounts first, walked outside with purple smoke, and said as he walked: "Hey, prepare some silver for the Hua family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, even if it is an autumn breeze, we can't spoil the affection of our relatives." ”

In this way, Zeng Yutong took things to the place of Mrs. An in the backyard, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the cries of An and Yin Ranqiu: "These guys, the shopkeeper is supported by our Hua family on weekdays, and they all eat with fat brains, and now, seeing that our Hua family has no backer and is in decline, everyone has come to add fuel to the fire, not only to pull our Hua family's business and money to them, but also to stand on their own, isn't this a slave bully?" Old lady, lady, you have to call the shots for us. ”

When Zeng Yutong heard this, he went directly into the house, and without looking at the Hua family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he saluted his grandmother and mother-in-law first. Then, he sat down and said to Yin Ran Qiu: "Cousin, you have studied with your aunt for so many years, don't you have any means to deal with these subordinates?" ”

Yin Dyan Qiu looked at her mother-in-law An, and stopped talking.
