Chapter 356: The Essence of King Yan

"But how are these people going to get into the village then?"

"It's not for you and me to worry about these things, and everything will be left to City Lord Li to handle."

Marshal Shen looked at Chu Ruoyao's confident appearance, but he was always very suspicious of City Lord Li's ability in his heart.

"There is something unclear below, this City Lord Li is obviously a person who does not learn and has no skills, why does His Royal Highness King Yan attach so much importance to him?"

"Don't learn and don't know? Not necessarily! Chu Ruoyu shook her head and denied Marshal Shen's evaluation of City Lord Li.

"There are some conclusions, Marshal Shen should not make it too early."

Seeing Chu Ruoyao's confident appearance, Marshal Shen could only believe his words, and temporarily returned to the barracks, waiting for news from City Lord Li.

"Do you think that City Lord Li can really do this?" Not only Marshal Shen, but even Li Luobing had a lot of doubts about Chu Ruoyao's decision.

"This king has said that, if he can't do this, then he, the city lord, really doesn't need to do it." Just now speaking with a dry mouth, Chu Ruoyan quickly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"City Lord Li looks a little clumsy, but he is actually a very shrewd person, whether it is about things or people's hearts, he actually has a very thorough grasp of things, and it is only fitting that this matter is handed over to him."

Li Luobing nodded after hearing this: "That's fine, we'll wait for his news." ”

After temporarily resolving this matter, Li Luobing's face was still very worried.

"The matter has already been resolved, why do you still have such an expression?" Chu Ruoyan naturally wouldn't miss the slightest change in Li Luobing, and even his usual expression would be observed in detail.

"Actually, there's one more thing that I've always thought I should discuss with you." After thinking about it for a while, Li Luobing decided to talk to Chu Ruoyi.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on." Chu Ruoyao gestured to Li Luobing.

In fact, Li Luobing has been preoccupied for the past few days, although he saw it in his eyes, but Li Luobing did not take the initiative to speak, and he had no way to ask.

"Do you remember how much silver we took with us when we left the capital?"

Hearing Li Luobing mention the matter of silver, Chu Ruoyan knew what she was going to say next.

"There is not much silver with us, and according to the number of days, there should be little silver left after we come here." Chu Ruoyan touched her chin and counted it seriously.

Seeing that Chu Ruoqiao took the first step to say what she thought in her heart, Li Luobing also let go.

"If you want to do these things, you must need silver, the official silver in the city lord's mansion will not be too much, and the silver in the barracks is to pay the soldiers, and it must not be used, so if this is the case......"

Li Luobing's tone became more and more urgent, and the worry in her heart became bigger and bigger, these days because she was worried about causing trouble to Chu Ruoyao, she had never said this matter.

"Don't worry about that." Chu Ruoyao's next words surprised Li Luobing.

"There is no money on the surface, but there is still a lot of money in the secret."

What is money on the surface? What is money in the shadows? Hasn't King Yan's Mansion been raided? I remember all this money clearly. Li Luobing was a little dazed by Chu Ruoyao's statement.

After seeing Li Luobing's puzzled eyes, Chu Ruoyao knew that he didn't believe his words.

"What? Do you think I don't have any of that silver? Chu Ruoyao asked Li Luobing with a smile, Li Luobing looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded.

She thought that these words were just said by Chu Ruoyan to comfort herself. Seeing that Li Luobing didn't believe his words, Chu Ruoyan knew that he should take out something to prove that what he said was indeed true.

"You come with me." He beckoned to Li Luobing, led her into the room, and took out a box he was carrying from the cabinet.

"What is this? Why haven't I seen you take it out? ”

Li Luobing looked at the box for a long time, she was very sure that she had never seen the same thing in the Yanwang Mansion.

Chu Ruoyan handed the box to Li Luobing: "You open it and take a look, and you will know what is inside when you open it." ”

Li Luobing took the box and opened it suspiciously, but the contents surprised her, it was nothing else, it was full of silver tickets, some land deeds, and even some shop accounts.

"How do you have these things? Haven't these things already been collected? Li Luobing asked in surprise while looking at the contents of the box.

The silver tickets and title deeds in this are even more than the silver that was confiscated, and they may even be much more than the silver handed over, she didn't expect Chu Ruoyan to be so rich.

"What are those things? These things are the essence of the entire Yanwang Mansion. Is it that too much time has passed and you are no longer impressed? Don't forget, when I was stupid in front of everyone before, the emperor used to give me a lot of shops in order to compensate me. ”

Chu Ruoyan took the box from Li Luobing's hand and spread out some of the title deeds on the table: "Although these shops have been sold by me, they are actually actually controlled by some of my subordinates, and it is impossible for the emperor to take these things." ”

"Under your actual control? In fact, you are just trying to transfer these possessions. After hearing this, Li Luobing also understood Chu Ruoyao's approach.

"Actually, I didn't manage these shops at all, I just checked the accounts occasionally, but I didn't expect it to grow so long and so long." Chu Ruoyao looked at the contents of the box and sighed with emotion.

When Yan Wang's Mansion was raided, the reason why he was so calm was because he still had these as hole cards in his hand, but in order to prevent the news from leaking, he didn't even tell Li Luobing.

"You actually deliberately hide it from me, do you deliberately want to see me make a fool of myself?"

After learning that what he was most worried about was not a problem at all, Li Luobing was not angry, and he always felt that his worries during this time were like a joke in Chu Ruoyao's eyes.

"Of course not," Seeing that Li Luobing was angry, Chu Ruoyan hurriedly began to coax her.

"I'm just doing this to keep it from leaking out, so it's safe for you and me, and there's no way to use the silver when you're in the capital. Once it is used, even if the emperor does not know, King Qin and the others will definitely seize this matter as a lever to threaten me. ”

Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing repeatedly emphasized the reason for their concealment, which made Li Luobing forgive him. After this matter was resolved, Li Luobing's whole person relaxed a lot.

"Now you don't have to worry about it! Whether it's the security hall or the barracks, this silver is enough for us to use, or even not use it up at all, not to mention the city lord, don't worry too much. ”

Seeing Li Luobing, after reading these things, Chu Ruoyan carefully put them away again.

"Don't be so careful, this thing should be just you and me now." Li Luobing deliberately teased Chu Ruoyan and said.

Before the two finished speaking, Guo Dong ran in from outside.

"Your Highness, Princess, City Lord Li has returned."

"Coming back? So fast? The two asked in unison.

Guo Dong smiled: "My subordinates didn't expect City Lord Li to come back so soon, but now he has indeed entered the house, and he is waiting to see the two!" ”

"Then let's go!" The two hurried to the main hall, they were eager to know what City Lord Li had experienced on this trip, and whether the matter had really succeeded.

When they came to the main hall, they found that City Lord Li was gulping tea, and the whole person was very tired.

"City Lord Li came back so soon, I wonder if things have been done?" Chu Ruoyao sat beside him and asked directly.

City Lord Li drank the last sip of tea at the bottom of the cup, wiped his mouth, and nodded at Chu Ruoyao.

"Back to King Yan, the lower officials have already done this matter."

Chu Ruoyu cast a suspicious look at City Lord Li, and after seeing his eyes, City Lord Li dragged aside several servants who had gone with him.

"The lower officials are not lying, this matter is very important, if the prince doesn't believe it, you can ask them, and you can let them talk about the specific things from the beginning."

"Hurry up to the front, a few of you." After City Lord Li finished talking to Chu Ruoyao, he pushed the entourage a few steps forward, and several people quickly knelt down in front of Chu Ruoyao.

"The grass people have seen the Yan King!" This was the first time that they had spoken to such a big official except City Lord Li, and there was a bit of trembling in their tones, as if Chu Ruoyu was some kind of flood beast in their hearts.

"Get up, since the city lord said that you know about this matter, then tell me what happened."

"Yes, King Yan." Several people stood up and told all the things that City Lord Li had discussed with the lieutenant chief.

It turned out that City Lord Li had been worried before he went, whether the lieutenant would drive him back without even seeing his face, after all, his image as a city lord in the eyes of the people could be said to be very bad, and even quite bad.

But when he arrived, he told him the contents of the plan, and the lieutenant agreed. The things he was worried about before didn't happen at all, and after the matter was promised, the lieutenant realized that the person in front of him who was talking to him turned out to be the city lord.

Under the great gratitude of the lieutenant chief, City Lord Li came back a little flutteringly, and the feeling in his heart calmed down a lot after seeing Chu Ruoyao.

"It seems that City Lord Li's trip has gone more smoothly than imagined, so have you told the chief about the specific plan? For example, the number of people who go, such as who are there? ”
