Two days passed in a flash, and in these two days, Zhang Fan's mood gradually turned from excitement to disappointment.

And the fundamental reason for all this is very simple, that is, the huge prefect's mansion actually only copied out only a few hundred taels of silver!

Is this TM something that people can do?

"Old man, I'll give you another chance, do you want to say it?"

Looking at Zhou Zhonghong, who was tied to a chair by himself in front of him, Zhang Fan could be said to be angry at this time.

The money in a prefect's house is not as much as that of a prefect in Xiasha Town, can anyone believe this?

Don't ask him any questions about whether he is greedy or not, the current Qing Dynasty has a rumor of three years of Qing prefect and 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

In fact, Zhang Fan here is indeed a little ignorant, although Bing Jing and Carbon Jing existed in the Qing Dynasty, but when they really became popular, they still had to be the most prosperous in the Qianlong period.

At this time, the country was short of money up and down, and Yongzheng directly started a series of major reforms such as returning fire consumption to the public and apportioning the land into the mu, for which he killed a lot of people, and even Nian Qianyao and Long Keduo, the two heroes, did not let go, where would anyone dare to come to Bing to respect this set.

Isn't this an open search for death?

And Zhou Zhonghong has been a representative of honest government since he became an official, even the local people praise him, this kind of person you expect him to be corrupt, it is better to believe that a sow can go up the tree.

"This official has always been clean and self-righteous since he became an official, and this official disdains to do such dirty and pickled things!"

Zhou Zhonghong's face was slightly pale at this time, but his voice still looked full of neutrality.

In the past two days, Zhang Fan can be said to have turned the entire mansion over and looked for it, but in the end he still found nothing, originally thought that the old man had the foresight to hide the treasure elsewhere, but now seeing the other party's look of death, Zhang Fan felt that what the other party said might be true.

"Forget it, let it go."

Zhang Fan sat back in his chair weakly, his tone full of loss.

Originally, I thought I could make a windfall, but I didn't get a penny, but I got a lot of money. (Mainly refers to explosive soldiers)

"You're going to let me go?"

Hearing that Zhang Fan was going to let himself go, Zhou Zhonghong thought that he had heard it wrong.

"Don't let you keep you to eat my food? It's a beautiful idea, hurry up and get out of here! ”

Zhang Fan pointed to the door and roared at Zhou Zhonghong, not thinking that the mansion he was in now should have been someone else's.

After Zhang Fan occupied Songjiang Mansion, he naturally laughed at the original prefect's mansion, and for those family members who were driven out by him, Zhang Fan was not too harsh, he just found them a deserted courtyard in the city and let them live in.

When Zhang Fan occupied Songjiang Mansion before, many people fled directly from the city, but Zhang Fan didn't stop him, after all, there were so many people, they couldn't all break through.

However, there are some advantages to this, that is, there are more spare spaces, and it is not too troublesome to arrange.

After the failure of the raid, Zhang Fan was depressed for a while, in fact, he was not without other choices, such as the rich businessmen in the city was a good choice, but Zhang Fan gave up after thinking about it.

It's not that he can't do it, it's just that he can't find a suitable opportunity to raid his home.

The businessmen here dare not say that they all abide by the law, but they have not done anything illegal and undisciplined, and even many of them have a good prestige among the people.

After all, I have to continue the Northern Expedition in the future, and it would not be good news if there was a fire in the backyard.

"Alas... Where do you go to get gold? ”

Zhang Fan looked at the remaining more than 600,000 funds in the system, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but show a sad look.

In the past few days, Zhang Fan has asked the ore refinery to explore the surrounding ore veins, but the problem is that there are no big mines in the place where they are, so it is not too difficult to withdraw system funds from this point.

As the saying goes, if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are...

Zhang Fan let out a long sigh, his face full of disappointment.

——————————

At this time, just as Zhang Fan sighed, a military discipline made it clear that the neat army was gradually advancing towards the place where Songjiang Mansion was located.

Compared with the 4,000 infantry killed by Zhang Fan before, this army is obviously more disciplined, and there are many cavalry among them, but the number is not much, only about a thousand people, and the number of the entire army is about 20,000.

The leader of this army is naturally Wei Jingguo, the governor of Jiangnan who went to transfer troops before.

Wei Jingguo went to Zhenzhou, and even though he prepared an excerpt of this matter, he sent it to Jiangning Mansion (that is, Nanjing) and handed it to Fan Shiyi, the current governor of Liangjiang.

When he learned the news that Songjiang Mansion had actually fallen, Fan Shiyi was also shocked, and hurriedly asked Wei Jingguo to transfer the defenders of Zhenzhou and Changzhou to support Songjiang Mansion, and he sent this matter to the Forbidden City.

It's just that from the perspective of time, it is estimated that the song has not yet entered Beijing, but the current form waits for no one, so it can only let Wei Jingguo, the governor of Jiangnan, recover Songjiang Mansion first.

After a day of traveling, Wei Jingguo was somewhat depressed, but he was still worried about the situation in Songjiang Mansion.

In order to be on the safe side, he specially allowed Deng Hui to take 4,000 infantry to fight the front battle first, but two days have passed, and no news has come.

This couldn't help but make Wei Jingguo's worry even worse.

Deng Hui has been by his side for a while, he is definitely not a greedy person, and the other party has always been decisive in making decisions in the wrong form, even if he can't take down the anti-thieves, he will definitely send a letter to himself to tell him about the origin of these anti-thieves.

But for so long, the other party has not moved at all, which makes Wei Jingguo start to think a little.

Could it be that he was killed?

Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through Wei Jingguo's mind.

No, no, how is it possible, it's just a gang of thieves, Deng Hui has 4,000 infantry, even if he is defeated, he will not be killed or captured.

But if that's the case, why didn't the other party write to him?

The more Wei Jingguo thought about it, the more gloomy his face became.

"Look, sir! It seems to be Matsue Prefecture in front of us! ”

At this time, the accompanying deputy army suddenly shouted, interrupting Wei Jingguo's thoughts.

"Hmm."

Wei Jingguo nodded, and only after coming back to his senses did he look into the distance, but just as he fixed his gaze on the city in the distance, his pupils couldn't help but shrink sharply.

"That's... What is that? ”
