With the soldiers, the county guard Xiao Yuanqi was arrested in the prison prison of Donghua County, and the entire Xiao family's family was put under house arrest.

Later, several soldiers who were proficient in copying homes also found two secret rooms in the county guard's mansion, one of which was in Xiao Yuanqi's bedroom, which was full of neatly stacked gold and silver ingots, Shen Lingxi went in and took a look, and felt that his eyes were flashing as if he couldn't open his eyes, and the luster of this gold and silver was really dazzling.

Shen Lingxi asked Wangcai to go in and check it, and the gold and silver in this secret room alone were at least more than five million taels.

Later, a secret room was found in the rockery in the back garden, which was full of high-grade elixir talismans, and even found a second-class long sword magic weapon faintly flashing with thunder and lightning.

Hearing this news, Shen Lingxi basically ran over, this second-class magic weapon is not easy to obtain, let alone an offensive magic weapon.

Shen Lingxi held this long sword with a faint thunderbolt rolling in his hand, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

You must know that a ninth-grade ice dagger was sold for nearly 700,000 taels of silver, and this second-class thunder attribute attack magic weapon can be said to be worth the property copied by the entire county guard today.

"Wow! It's a very good treasure! Well, I didn't expect this county guard Xiao Yuanqi to hide this kind of treasure. What a windfall, what a bonus!"

Shen Lingxi smiled happily holding this second-class magic weapon, slapped the soldier who found this secret room fiercely, and grabbed a fifth-class pill in the secret room casually, and rewarded it to the soldier who found this secret room.

Shen Lingxi carefully inquired about a few soldiers who had entered this secret room, and knew that only three soldiers in total, including the soldier who came to report him, knew about this second-class attack magic weapon, so Shen Lingxi gathered the three soldiers, and each gave a fifth-grade elixir, and also gave the three of them a silver ticket of 10,000 taels.

"All the things in this secret room must be handed over to my father-in-law, and some things you can see and forget it, if you dare to leak it, not only will you not get today's reward, but your family's lives will also be affected. You know what I mean......"

Shen Lingxi rewarded the three of them for a while, and then there was a fierce threat.

The three soldiers knew that the person in front of them was the major general, and of course they knew that it was just a matter of the major general's words to take their lives, so they all quickly nodded to show that they understood, and they would definitely not reveal what they saw in this secret room to anyone.

After getting the gambling curse of the three of them, Shen Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief.

However, these three people still can't be kept, and things like second-class magic weapons can already be regarded as treasures that cannot be found, not to mention that Shen Lingxi doesn't plan to hand over this thunder attribute long sword, of course, he can't let Tuoba Jun know.

Shen Lingxi felt that if Tuoba Jun really knew, it was very likely that this second-class magic weapon long sword would be taken away by Tuoba Jun, and of course, in the end, this sword would become an accomplice in the slaughter of the soldiers and people of Feng Kingdom.

Putting the second-class magic weapon into his storage bag, Shen Lingxi rummaged through this secret room again, and found a lot of good things, including a small storage ring.

With Shen Lingxi's current cultivation, there was no problem in opening this ownerless storage ring, so he sent all the soldiers away, and Shen Lingxi chose it alone in this secret room with great interest.

Opening the storage ring, Shen Lingxi noticed that the space inside this storage ring was very large, much larger than the storage bag given by his cheap mother, so Shen Lingxi hurriedly put the second-class magic weapon thunder attribute long sword into it, and also inspected a number of fifth-grade or so pills, and then put some of the pills that he could afford into this storage ring.

Put all the good things in the secret room of the county guard mansion into the storage ring, and Shen Lingxi took this storage ring and swaggered back to the hall of the county guard mansion to drink tea.

The rest of the things in the secret room let people continue to register and keep accounts, Shen Lingxi felt that this copy of the current county guard's home, this movement was a bit big, so these copied belongings would eventually be shown to Tuoba Jun.

As for how much Tuoba Jun wants to take away and how much he will keep, this is not up to Shen Lingxi himself.

Shen Lingxi saw that it was not too early, and promised Tuoba Jun to go back for dinner, so he got up and told Wangcai: "Wangcai, Laifu, you two stay and take care of these belongings, let the soldiers classify things and do a good job of bookkeeping. When the time comes, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to protect you, and make it clear to my subordinates. Young Master Ben went back for dinner, and my father-in-law was still waiting for me to go back. ”

After Shen Lingxi gave these orders, he rode his horse and was escorted back to the Pingbei General Mansion by Xiao Qiang.

When he returned to the General's Mansion, Shen Lingxi hurried to Tuoba Jun's main house, and saw that the dining room was full of delicacies, and there were more than a dozen maids serving the meal standing next to him.

And Tuoba Jun kept looking in the direction of the door of the dining room, pouring himself a drink while waiting for someone.

Of course, Shen Lingxi knew that Tuoba Jun was waiting for him, and he had to say that this stepfather was actually very good to himself, Yuwenlong, Shen Lingxi was apprehensive for a while, and hurriedly ran into the dining room to find a seat close to Tuoba Jun and sat down.

"Father, my son is really tired and hungry after a busy day. That, I'm not welcome, father, and I'll just start eating!"

Shen Lingxi looked at Tuoba Jun's kind face, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction because he came back late, so he generously began to move his chopsticks.

Tuoba Jun actually likes Shen Lingxi to be a little more lively and cheerful, and he is actually worried that Yuwen and his only son will be depressed because of the death of his parents.

Therefore, Tuoba Jun turned a blind eye to Shen Lingxi's nonsense in Donghua County, and for today's raiding the county guard Xiao Yuanqi's home, Tuoba Jun felt that this Xiao Yuanqi had surrendered and would have to be replaced sooner or later, and the position of the county guard now seems that there is no need for this Xiao Yuanqi to continue.

Another point is Xiao Yuanqi's attitude towards Shen Lingxi, Shen Lingxi sent his henchmen to beat this Xiao Yuanqi many times, but it was obvious that this guy was very disobedient and had been making small calculations, and he did not have the determination to go to the soup for him to go to the Great General's Mansion for him.

After all, Shen Lingxi represents the general of Pingbei, and this Xiao Yuanqi is not respectful enough to Shen Lingxi, that is, he is not respectful enough to General Pingbei, so it is not impossible to take this Xiao Yuanqi to open the knife.

"Is it going well today, is it okay? How about it, is this Xiao Yuanqi's family wealth still satisfactory to my son?"

Tuoba Jun took a glass of wine and drank it all, then turned his head and looked at Shen Lingxi, who was eating happily, kindly.

Shen Lingxi saw Tuoba Jun turn his head to look at him, and hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Father, don't you know, this county guard Xiao Yuanqi is a big corrupt official. Originally, my son thought that if he handed over a few million taels, he would have almost all his net worth, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that this few million taels would be a fraction of the money for the county guard!"

Speaking of this, Shen Lingxi pretended to be surprised, then approached you Tuoba Jun, and whispered: "Father, the family wealth that has been confiscated from the county guard Xiao Yuanqi's family has already filled the whole house, and the son did not check it carefully, but he took a casual look and knew that there was a family wealth of 20 million taels of silver!"

When Shen Lingxi said "20 million taels", he couldn't help but gasp.

Tuoba Jun seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he didn't have much surprise at the number Shen Lingxi said.

"Well, it seems that this Xiao Yuanqi has collected a lot in Donghua County for so many years, no wonder he surrendered so simply when our army came to the city, it turned out that he was afraid that his savings for so many years would be looted. ”

Tuoba Jun looked at Shen Lingxi, and still had some thoughts about the 20 million taels of silver obtained by this raid, after all, he was preparing for a new round of attack on Feng Kingdom, so 20 million taels of silver could still buy a lot of military supplies for the army of Xuanwu Kingdom.

It's just that the 20 million taels of silver were obtained by Shen Lingxi after all, so Tuoba Jun couldn't just open his mouth and take it all, so Tuoba Jun thought about it for a while before saying, "Hmm...... Long'er, do you have any plans for the 20 million taels of silver?"

Shen Lingxi probably guessed from Tuoba Jun's tone and eyes that he wanted to take some of it, in fact, this was also expected, if Tuoba Jun really didn't take it at all, this would make Shen Lingxi feel strange, Shen Lingxi had already thought of a strategy to deal with this kind of thing.

"Father, it depends on what you think about the role of 20 million taels of silver, if you only care about the 20 million taels in front of you, the son thinks that it is not impossible to give all of them to his father as military expenses, but I have learned about it, in fact, 20 million taels is a lot, but for an army, it is still a little less. The army of our Xuanwu Kingdom is now relying on the taxes of Donghua County to maintain military expenditures, but because of the war, all aspects of Donghua County's commercial agriculture have been greatly impacted!"

Shen Lingxi looked up at Tuoba Jun's expression when he said this, and saw Tuoba Jun's expression, so he continued: "My son understands that the taxes that Donghua County can pay every month are decreasing, and there is a trend of getting worse. Just relying on raiding homes to make up for military expenditures temporarily, this is not the way after all. It is still necessary to restore the commercial agriculture of Donghua County as soon as possible, so that the taxes paid will continue to increase, so as to support our army. ”

After Shen Lingxi said this, Tuoba Jun nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, it's still Long'er who has foresight, but this county guard Xiao Yuanqi can't raise the taxes of Donghua County as soon as possible, do you have any way?"

Shen Lingxi saw Tuoba Jun say this, and snorted coldly with some disdain.

"Hmph, of course that Xiao Yuanqi can't increase the tax revenue of Donghua County as soon as possible, he only knows that he can collect benefits from these powers, and his family wealth is not collected from all walks of life in Donghua County. But in fact, this is at the cost of reducing taxes, it can be said that for every one tael of silver that Xiao Yuanqi embezzled, Donghua County's tax revenue will be reduced by more than two taels of silver. ”

Shen Lingxi said with a lot of spittle, feeling that as long as an honest official sat in the position of the county guard, he would do better than Xiao Yuanqi.

Therefore, it can be said that it is not wrong to take Xiao Yuanqi's family wealth this time. The county guard of Donghua County should have been replaced a long time ago, if you want me to see, just find a more honest official to be this Donghua county guard is stronger than Xiao Yuanqi. If my father can agree with me to invest the 20 million taels of Xiao Yuanqi's family wealth in restoring the business of Donghua County, I am sure that the tax revenue of Donghua County will recover as quickly as possible. ”

Shen Lingxi patted his chest and reassured, Tuoba Jun was a little impressed by Shen Lingxi's remarks, feeling that this righteous son, who had always been gentle, still had such vision and insight.

"It's really rare for Long Er to have such insight, to be honest, my father is also worried about the lack of military spending every month, otherwise he wouldn't have tacitly accepted that Xiao Yuanqi's family wealth would have been copied by you. To tell you the truth, I originally wanted this silver to make up for the shortfall in military spending, but after listening to my son's words, I think it seems more appropriate to give you 20 million taels of silver for use. It's just that you have to give your father a guarantee of how much time you will see tax results. With 20 million taels this time, you can't squander it like you used to. ”

Tuoba Jun is still a little worried about Shen Lingxi, after all, Shen Lingxi's previous way of spending money, giving him 20 million taels of silver is really not sure that he will squander it in two or three clicks.

So Tuoba Jun now wants Shen Lingxi to make a promise.

Shen Lingxi thought about it, although he was a little reluctant, but he thought in his heart that he must not use these 20 million taels of silver as the military expenses of the Xuanwu Kingdom's army, which would only allow them to launch another attack on the Feng Kingdom in a faster time, and they must find a way to control these 20 million taels in their own hands.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Father, don't worry, it turns out that my son can't find anything to do, so he will squander the silver on the street." Now that something has been done, the way and purpose of spending money is different. First of all, the son is going to take out some silver and forcibly enter the shares of various large merchants, so that he can give these large merchants enough financial support in the shortest possible time, so that they can make their business bigger, and then we can share more profits, of course, we have to pay taxes before this. Just by using this method, I can pay Donghua County's tax revenue in a short period of time. And we have a stake in the business of these big merchants, and we can get an additional profit share from it, isn't that a good thing!"

Tuoba Jun heard Shen Lingxi say this, and also felt that this method was very good, feeling that 20 million taels would become a long-term source of income, and taxes could be increased as soon as possible, this was really a good way, so he nodded again and again.
