Under the afterglow of the setting sun, in the sound of swaying cars, the carriage slowly drove into the Qian family's mansion in the west of the city.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Qian Zhe walked out of it.

His face was as usual, as if nothing had happened.

In the whole courtyard, the servants and maids stood on both sides in a regular manner.

Qian Zhe waved his hand casually, and these servants and maids immediately went to work, only the butler was still waiting.

"What's going on with Jinhua now?" Qian Zhe asked as he walked inside, "How long will it take for the King of Nanchang to harvest the entire Jinhua?"

"If it is said that the entire Jinhua will be harvested, the old slave thinks that it will take at least seven days." The housekeeper said very cautiously.

Qian Zhe heard the subtext in the butler's words, looked at him with a smile and asked, "What if not?"

"If not, then it only takes three more days to complete the harvest of the grain required for the autumn tax, and then transfer to Yiwu, Dongyang, and Pujiang, and the overall summer harvest time will be ten days faster than in previous years, and it is the lowest." The butler's face suddenly became solemn.

The autumn grain harvest is also very particular.

There is a big difference between harvesting all the grain one by one, one by one, or turning around and leaving after only harvesting the grain needed to pay the tax.

If it is fully harvested one acre, then it can be placed in the whole Jinhua, perhaps at the limit, and the summer harvest time of the entire Jinhua can be shortened by half.

But if you look at the entire Wuzhou, then these 3,000 people can only increase this speed by less than one-tenth at most.

In just a few days, the icing on the cake is not enough to have enough impact.

However, if only the tax is needed, this time can be increased by ten days.

This means that if the Tianyin Sect wants to start an incident, it will have to go back several days in advance.

Their plans are already tight, and now they have to advance them, so they will be more scrambling and prone to mistakes.

"It seems that the king of Nanchang will definitely do this." There was a hint of jealousy in Qian Zhe's eyes.

A few days ago, people hadn't seen what King Nanchang wanted to do, but now as his movements gradually revealed, smart people had seen his intentions.

This is another heavy blow to the Tianyin Sect.

"What do you think, after King Nanchang's move, what else is there?" Qian Zhe asked subconsciously.

"The head of the family, the king of Nanchang is amazing, step by step, it is difficult for ordinary people to see through, and when he sees through, he can't stop it." The housekeeper looked at Qian Zhe with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Qian Zhe's footsteps paused, raised his hand, and waved, and the housekeeper immediately bowed and left. z.br>

Turning around and walking towards the study, the maid who served in the study stood on one side, bowing and waiting.

No matter which family it is, the person responsible for cleaning and tidying up the study will always be a fixed one or two people, and they will not change people casually, otherwise they are tantamount to making trouble for themselves.

Qian Zhe sat down on the Hu bed, and the maid respectfully handed over a cup of tea, and then quietly retreated to a dark corner.

Qian Zhe sat on the Hu bed and began to think about Li Xuan.

In fact, many people, including Qian Zhe, have been pondering Li Xuan's every move in Dongyang and Zhoucheng.

I hope to explore what Li Xuan wants to do, what he plans to do, and what he will do when he comes to Wuzhou this time.

Only in this way can they accurately grasp Li Xuan's context.

Then take the opportunity to make a profit in this matter.

Or in other words, using this matter to control Li Xuan in disguise.

But Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang, is very difficult to master, he has soldiers in his hands, and he has a clear goal.

Two words, Xia Tax and Tianyin Sect.

The summer tax is the core, and it is what the emperor requires Li Xuan to do, so he will definitely do his best to do it regardless of everything.

After that, there is the Heavenly Yin Sect.

When Li Xuan left the state city with a group of Muzhou immigrants, it meant that he had occupied the matter of taxes and grain

took the initiative.

At the same time, when he left the state city, he also took the initiative in the affairs of the Tianyin Sect.

Now it's up to him to see what he does next, and how the Heavenly Yin Church responds.

Suddenly, the candle flame in the room flickered.

Qian Zhe raised his head violently and snorted coldly: "Who?"

"It's me!" A figure had stepped out of the dark shadows as he spoke.

The maid who was originally standing in the shadows slowly slipped and fell to the ground at this time.

Zhang Wanyu, who was dressed as a dark green nocturnal girl, with her hair tied up high, facing the sky, but still delicate, and her eyes were sharp, walked under the candlelight, her hands retracted into her sleeves, and she didn't move.

A young man in a black brocade robe walked out from behind the bookcase on one side at the same time.

Holding a long sword in his hand, he looked at Zhang Wanyu vigilantly.

Qian Zhe raised his hand and swung it back slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the young brocade-robed man had already retreated behind the bookshelf.

"It turned out to be the master of the hall of Zhang, I don't know what happened when I came here this time?" Qian Zhe leaned back slightly, looking at Zhang Wanyu who suddenly appeared, her expression was not nervous, she was not sad or happy, she was just looking at her lightly, and she didn't seem to care about the crisis caused by her sudden appearance.

"There is something I want to inform the head of the Qian family." The corners of Zhang Wanyu's mouth curled up slightly, as if she had thought of something interesting.

"You say!" Qian Zhe's expression finally brought a hint of solemnity, and the things that could make the hall master of the Tianyin Sect feel interesting were probably not simple.

"Just this morning, the king of Nanchang and Xu Ge of Jinhua had a conflict, and then directly sent troops to raid Xu Ge's house, and then ......" Zhang Wanyu was already a little uncontrollable with joy, and said: "After that, he copied more than a dozen knives and guns, a few crossbows, and an iron armor ...... in Xu's house."

Hearing Zhang Wanyu say this, Qian Zhe couldn't help but interrupt him, and said unceremoniously, "Hall Master Zhang won't think that those things are from my Qian family, right? And even if it's from my Qian family, King Nanchang won't care."

"Oh, is the head of the Qian family so confident?" Zhang Wanyu looked at Qian Zhe with some amusement, and finally shook her head and said, "The head of the family, please listen, the king of Nanchang not only copied the blade in that courtyard, but also rescued an innocent woman who was kidnapped, it is said that they have kidnapped many innocent women before, and the most important thing is that the king of Nanchang also copied out 2,000 acres of hidden land in Xu's house."

"How much?" Qian Zhe couldn't help but cry out, even he was very surprised by this number.

Two thousand acres of land, this is not a matter of maneuvering in the corners and corners, but a whole piece of land that is connected together, and it is not an easy thing to conceal it.

Someone just did it.

"Hall Master Zhang definitely didn't come to the Qian family for no reason, can you tell Qian what is the relationship between this matter and my Qian family?" Qian Zhe stared at Zhang Wanyu with his eyes.

Zhang Wanyu's appearance here at this moment is enough to prove the deep relationship between this matter and the Qian family, and even if this matter has nothing to do with the Qian family, the people of the Tianyin Sect will also do everything possible to get them involved with the Qian family.

"The head of the family may not know that those fields are ostensibly from the Xu family, but in fact they are from the Qian family." The smile on Zhang Wanyu's face began to converge, and then turned cold, calm, and solemn.

Silently, a heavy pressure had already pressed on Qian Zhe's shoulders.

Sitting there, Qian Zhe's expression became more and more gloomy, and after a long time, Qian Zhe raised his head and looked at Zhang Wanyu: "It's Qilang who got these things, what else did he do, the hall master might as well say it at once."

It can be heard from his voice that Qian Zhe is in a very bad mood now, but the worse his mood is, the happier Zhang Wanyu is in her heart.

"Other more details, this seat is unknown, this seat only knows that the fields in Qilang's hands are far more than these three thousand acres, and most of them are concentrated in Jinhua and Yiwu, and the king of Nanchang will immediately turn to Yiwu after completing the harvest of Jinhua's tax grain...... No, maybe he will be delayed in Jinhua for a few more days, maybe the hidden field found in Jinhua is enough for him to stop.

」

Zhang Wanyu took a deep breath, her face showed an immersed pleasure, and her eyes squinted at Qian Zhe: "Family Master, how big do you think the scale of such a field will be?"

The first task of the king of Nanchang when he came to Wuzhou was to pay the summer tax.

The only reason why the king of Nanchang could let go of the summer tax and continue to stay in Jinhua was that the number of hidden fields that occurred there was already incredibly large, and it could even be almost compared with the amount of summer grain levied by the imperial court.

You can imagine what a huge amount it is.

Qian Zhe's heart was heavy for a while, he slowly raised his head, looked at Zhang Wanyu, and said with an indifferent face: "It is impossible for Wuzhou to have so many hidden fields, otherwise the major families would have discovered it a long time ago,"

"What the head of the family said is right, if there were so many hidden fields in Wuzhou, then the major families in Wuzhou would have already discovered it, but didn't the head of the family forget that Qilang is also a member of the Qian family." A sneer flashed at the corner of Zhang Wanyu's mouth.

If you say that the most greedy person in the Qian family, even Qian Qilang is not as good as the old bastard in front of him.

Qian Qilang's greed is greedy on the surface, while Qian Zhe's greed is greedy in the bones.

Looking at the silent Qian Zhe, the sneer on Zhang Wanyu's face gradually dissipated.

The current Qian family may indeed have encountered some difficulties, but it is not without solutions.

As long as Qian Zhe is willing to kill Qian Zhuo directly, then no matter what kind of crisis the Qian family has, it will be able to solve it, but the premise is that Qian Zhe can be ruthless.

Her heart became serious again, Zhang Wanyu looked at Qian Zhe, took a step back, and then said in a low voice, "It seems that the head of the family doesn't fully believe what this seat says! But it doesn't matter, this seat is here this time, I just want the head of the family to report information for the sake of this seat this time, and also report a message to this seat, how about it?"

"What do you want to know?" Qian Zhe raised his head slightly and looked at Zhang Wanyu.

This Yuhang Hall Master said so much just now, and now she finally got to the point.

"One thing is very simple, I just want to know, when the king of Nanchang came to Wuzhou, in addition to a naval warship that had returned to Hangzhou, two Kui merchant ships, there were also three official ships, one of these three official ships is now parked on the dock, there are still two, but there is no trace."

Zhang Wanyu's face became serious, she looked at Qian Zhe, her eyes narrowed slightly: "I all know that the Nanchang Wang Inspection School will be the captain of the Guoyi Mansion of the Imperial Palace, and there is a regiment of 300 government soldiers under his command, but one of these government soldiers is now in Dongyang, one team followed the Nanchang King to Jinhua, and another team is recruiting, so what about the three teams, where are the three teams?"

"I don't know." Qian Zhe shook his head, looked at Zhang Wanyu very calmly, and said in thought: "At the beginning, many people in Wuzhou were staring at King Nanchang's every move, but after that assassination, everyone was diverted, and no one knows where these people went."

Qian Zhe shook his head and said helplessly: "You should know that it hasn't been long since the King of Nanchang arrived in Wuzhou, and among his subordinates, I and others can't infiltrate."

"But one thing is for sure, his men have been watching you all the time, watching your every move."
