Suzhou, Huitong Cabinet Workshop.

The surprise in Li Xuan's eyes was quickly replaced by gloom.

In the memories of An Rongxiang and Wen Bingyan, the money model that the Tianyin Sect didn't know where to get it was also stored in Suzhou by them.

Huitong Cabinet Workshop in Suzhou.

"Captain!" Li Xuan stared at Liu Ji and asked seriously, "This money, you are in the Huitong Cabinet in Suzhou, is it your own choice, or is someone inducing?"

"The choice is yours, of course." Liu Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Li Xuan, and said seriously: "The prince may have just come to Wuyue not long ago, and he doesn't know that this Huitong cabinet is originally made by Suzhou merchants imitating the methods of Jin merchants. It's just that just as Wu Yue didn't allow Jin Shang Cabinet Workshop to enter, it was difficult for Wu Yue Cabinet Workshop to enter the land of Shanxi in Shandong, let alone Guanxi."

Li Xuan nodded, local protectionism is very prevalent everywhere.

"This Wu Yue Sixteenth Family, I'm afraid they all have a share of the Huitong Cabinet Workshop, right?" Li Xuan suddenly spoke, and Liu Ji immediately replied: "That's true, in fact, it's not only the sixteenth family of Wu Yue, but also King Yue and King Cao, but they are all in name, and the one who really controls these is actually in the palace."

"I see." Li Xuan immediately understood why the money model existed in Huitong Cabinet in Suzhou, instead of in other places.

The sixteenth family of Wu Yue is involved in the evil money affair to varying degrees, but this is allowed by the palace, but everything must be carried out under supervision.

This place is Suzhou, which is Huitong Cabinet Workshop.

"King Cao!" Li Xuan sighed in her heart.

This time, when he arrived in the southeast, Li Ming, the king of Suzhou, was still in Luoyang, the divine capital, so Li Xuan did not visit Suzhou.

On the other hand, he was also worried that someone would attack him in Suzhou, so he simply went straight from Changzhou to Hangzhou, and did not stop anywhere else in between.

Now that the background of Huitong Cabinet is exposed in front of Li Xuan's eyes, the origin of the money model can be roughly explained

"Then apart from you, do the other people of the Tianyin Sect have also made deposits in Huitong Counter?" Speaking of this, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth showed a slight meaningful smile: "What does this king mean is that it is the same personal private money as you?"

"Yes, there must be, but these are the deepest secrets of everyone, and they are easy to never tell others, and there is no way to know them below." A wry smile appeared on Liu Ji's face.

This kind of final life-saving retreat, the entire Liu family is only known to him and his son Liu Ji, and there will be no third person in the entire Tianyin Sect who knows about it.

Of course, maybe someone will guess something, just as Liu Ji guessed that others will definitely do the same.

It's just that it's not so easy to get out the money inside.

"Tell me about the procedure for withdrawing money, shall we?" Li Xuan sat down on a chair in the study and looked at Liu Ji calmly.

Liu Ji stood on the side and said to Li Xuan: "This kind of money saving, there are two kinds of open storage and hidden storage, if it is open deposit, the handling fee of the procedure is slightly lower, but the procedures are complicated, some not only need tokens, handwriting, passwords, and even some people have to ask in advance to take the money in person, so they also leave a portrait in advance, if they are secretly stored, the handling fee is higher, but the procedures are much simplified, and there is no need for the person to take it themselves, and even if it is agreed in advance, there is no need for passwords and handwriting, All you need is a token."

Li Xuan nodded clearly, the hidden way is more secretive, the cabinet seems to be simplified, but the risk is greater.

These things are equivalent to bearer deposits in later generations.

As for what this thing can be used for, it's all a matter of knowing it.

"You must be a dark store here, right?" Li Xuan looked sideways at Liu Ji and said in a low voice, "There will be no one to withdraw the money, and they can't take it out, or in other words, as soon as they take out the money, they will be targeted." c

Liu Ji hesitated slightly, but still said sincerely

"The villain really wants not to have this possibility, but the prince knows in his heart that this kind of thing can only rely on himself."

"How much?" Li Xuan's question was very direct.

"It's not a lot, 50,000 yuan in cash, as well as two mansions and 100 acres of land in Xuzhou." Liu Ji arched his hand at Li Xuan and said in a deep voice: "I know that the prince doesn't look down on these things, but this is all the private wealth that the villain can take out."

"Xuzhou, the captain really chose a good place!" Li Xuan glanced at Liu Ji deeply, and then waved his hand and said: "The thing is put in the hands of the captain first, if Ling Lang can survive this time, it will not be too late for the captain to be handed over to this king, if Ling Lang has any misfortune, maybe the captain can also fight for meritorious service, and if he goes to Xuzhou in the future, he may not be able to continue the incense."

Li Xuan stood up, patted Liu Ji's shoulder vigorously, and then walked out the door.

Outside the study, Qian Niuwei and Nanchang Mansion Wei Linsan were standing, and Li Xuan looked up in the direction of the stone fort, where the sound of fighting and fighting had gradually stopped.

Raising his head, Li Xuan looked at the sun, and now it was almost dusk, and before he knew it, the time of the day had passed.

"Lord Wang!" Liu Ji's voice sounded behind Li Xuan, Li Xuan turned around, looked at Liu Ji and asked, "The captain has figured it out!"

"I don't know!" Liu Ji's expression was a little gloomy, and he arched his hand at Li Xuan and said, "Please also ask the prince to think about it in the next few days."

What to consider, of course, is to consider whether to completely turn the other cheek with the Tianyin Sect.

"Yes, this king doesn't mind." Li Xuan said lightly, "In a few days, the school captain will understand more clearly how desperate the Tianyin Sect is this time."

People like Liu Ji were not optimistic about the success of the Tianyin Sect from the beginning, otherwise he would not have prepared a retreat in advance.

The reason why he kept going was because there was no other way to do it.

After all, more avenues have been occupied by all sides, where is there any opportunity left for him.

Now Li Xuan gave him another way, but Li Xuan only mentioned it casually and did not give any clear guarantee, and Liu Ji also did not respond at all.

Because no matter what Liu Ji's choice is in the end, Liu Ji must die.

Five trebuchets were parked at the entrance of the stone courtyard, two huge well bodies were placed high on the edge of the stone courtyard, and thick smoke kept rising from the stone houses in the depths of the stone courtyard, but no one rushed out.

"Have all the underground passages outside been blocked?" Li Xuan looked sideways at Qiu Zhenmu.

Qiu Zhenmu immediately nodded and said, "It's all blocked, and the lowly position has even sent people to fill it with water, and they have no way to escape, so they will be forced to return here and hold on."

"It seems that all the little tricks of this king have been learned by you." Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen with some amusement.

These two people have only been with him for a month or two, but they are deeply influenced by him, and they have deeply remembered the essence of various asymmetrical strike battles.

"We still lack a lot, I hope the prince will give me more advice." Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen bowed their hands to Li Xuan at the same time, looking sincere.

Li Xuan waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as you follow this king for a day, you can learn all the books that this king knows."

"Thank you, Lord!" Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen bowed their hands to Li Xuan at the same time.

Although the command and combat ability of the two of them in the army far surpassed Li Xuan, they were not as good as Li Xuan in battles in some special environments.

Of course, Li Xuan also has his own shortcomings, so he can prepare in advance and make targeted arrangements, which is naturally invincible, but he doesn't have much certainty of victory in a sudden encounter, and at this time, he can only rely on Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen.

"Why doesn't the prince try to recruit the disciples inside, maybe some of them are willing to surrender?" At this time, Liu Ji suddenly spoke.

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "No need, this king has tried in Dongyang City before, even if there are parents, even if the family turns against him, the last one to surrender is only

There are only one or two people, and this king does not think too much about this, and besides, some of them may not want to see others surrender."

"The prince really understands the Tianyin Sect thoroughly, and he admires it." Liu Ji looked at Li Xuan and arched his hand with emotion.

The Tianyin Sect has very strict control over the internal belief in the Tianyin Goddess, and the closer it is to the core of the sect, the more devout the belief in the Tianyin Goddess becomes.

Whether it's the Tian*** Rui in Dongyang City, or these people in the Stone Courtyard now, they are all such people.

And the more crowds gather, the less likely they are to want to surrender.

After a long time, the smoke in the stone house gradually dissipated, and as soon as Li Xuan waved his hand, a large group of Qianniu guards immediately jumped directly from the wall.

Soon, some of them came out again and bowed their hands to Li Xuan: "Back to the prince, the people inside are all dead."

Li Xuan nodded, and without the slightest hesitation, he climbed into the wall.

At this time, there were already a pile of corpses lying on the ground in the stone courtyard.

The vast majority of these people committed suicide, but a small number were slashed directly on the throat with a knife.

"It's still the old way, whether there is a secret passage or not, first flood it with water, and if there is, then use poisonous smoke......" Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's all old work, you are more familiar with it than this king...... By the way, the copper coins in this stone village are divided with the brothers themselves, but things like bills of exchange and land deeds have to be handed over to the account office, and this thing is not easy to dispose of, so it will simply be handed over to the state government.

"Thank you, Lord." Many Qianniu guards present looked shocked at the same time.

They followed Li Xuan all the way from Luoyang to Wuzhou, in order to make meritorious contributions and gain wealth.

When he was in Yangzhou and Hangzhou, Li Xuan couldn't take too many rewards, so he could only lead them to make meritorious contributions.

Now that I am in Wuzhou, I naturally want to give them some care as much as possible if the law allows.

After saying this, Li Xuan turned around violently and looked at Liu Ji: "Captain, do you think that when the news from here reaches the state capital, will Fang Yunxiu, the master of Wuzhou Hall, directly rush over, after all, it is now in Dongyang, and there is also the stronghold of Shangxi Gold Mine."

Liu Ji looked startled, and his face immediately showed a look of shock.

Is Li Xuan going to start calculating others again?
