Chapter 173 Imperial Envoy (7)

After Xu Chen and Jiang Bin found out about Feng Dajun's identity, their expressions were very ugly. Yun Qing didn't even pay attention to the imperial envoy, he was so conceited. But considering that Yunqing dared to swallow millions of silver, it is not surprising to do such a thing.

Cao De didn't show his face, instead he asked Feng Dajun a lot of questions in a businesslike manner. From entering Xu's house to leaving, they asked very carefully.

Feng Dajun answered a few questions patiently at first. But listening to him, he heard something wrong, especially when Cao De asked him why he left Yucheng in the middle of the night. He didn't know that these people had malicious intentions, and immediately scolded: "If you don't leave in the middle of the night, are you still waiting for the people of Xinping City?" Beating gongs and drums to send it off? Do you know that there are a lot of things in Yucheng waiting for the general to deal with, and the barbarians from the North may come at any time?" After finishing speaking, looking at Cao De and Jiang Bin, he sneered and said, "Wait The barbarians from the north are calling, I hope you don't pee your pants in fright."

Jiang Bin was furious, just about to open his mouth to scold Feng Dajun, but Cao De gave him a cold look, Jiang Bin broke out in a cold sweat immediately, not daring to do anything wrong.

Cao De appeased Feng Dajun and said, "Feng Qianhu, please don't get angry. We also want to know the specific situation at that time."

Feng Dajun looked rough, but he was a rough and fine person, so he didn't take Cao De's words, and said: "I've said everything I need to say, and I don't know what else the imperial envoy wants to know? Or Do you want me to make it up?" As soon as Feng Dajun entered Xinping City, he was invited by Cao De. He didn't know that the news had already spread in Xinping City, saying that Yunqing had embezzled millions of dollars from the Xu family. If he knew, Feng Dajun would definitely not be as easy to talk to as he is now.

Cao De looked at Feng Dajun, a small subordinate is so difficult to deal with, and Yun Qing is even more difficult to deal with, plus a Han family who is said to be deeply scheming, this errand is even more troublesome than he imagined: "Feng Qian I think about it a lot, we just want to understand the process so that we can go back and deal with the prince."

Feng Dajun said: "If there is nothing else, I have to go back to train soldiers!" Feng Dajun also brought thousands of people!

Cao De handed Feng Dajun a piece of paper and said, "This is what you said just now, I hope Feng Qianhu can put his fingerprint on it."

Huo Changqing adopted a group of sons who could read and write. Feng Dajun took the paper over, looked at it carefully, and then pressed a handprint on it: "If there is nothing wrong, Feng will leave."

Cao De was very talkative, nodded and said: "We also want to understand what happened at that time. Feng Qianhu has made it clear, so we can go back." Anyway, this is just a formality, and Yucheng is the home field.

Looking at the back of Feng Dajun leaving gracefully, Jiang Bin said: "Master Cao, let him go like this? Is he an accomplice?"

Cao De said: "If you move him, you will startle the snake." Yunqing is the big fish he wants to catch! Feng Dajun, he still doesn't care.

Xu Chen suddenly understood, and said, "What does your lord mean, we still want to go to Yucheng? Doesn't that mean we have entered the tiger's mouth?" He was extremely unwilling to go to Yucheng.

Cao De glanced at Xu Chen coldly, and said, "If Mr. Xu doesn't want to go, you don't have to." These two people are completely burdensome. But Cao De also knows that these two people are eyes and ears, watching his every move.

No matter how afraid Xu Chen was of death, he dared not go with Cao De. Otherwise, when he returns to the capital, his official position will definitely be lost.

Feng Dajun didn't go back to Yucheng immediately, but went to see Yu Cong first. When we arrived in Xinping City, it would be unreasonable not to meet our good brother! Seeing Yu Cong's gloomy face, Feng Dajun asked with a smile: "What's the matter? I thought you ate and drank every day in the magistrate's yamen! Look how you lost a lot of weight?"

Yu Cong was furious during this time, and said: "Is it still delicious? The general's reputation is almost ruined?" Now everyone in Xinping City says that his general corrupted the Xu family for millions of dollars. taels of silver,

When he heard the rumor, he almost lost his temper.

The smile on Feng Dajun's face disappeared immediately, and he asked angrily: "Who is framing the general?" A few million taels of silver, mother, the ones that were moved back were all rags, and those children still needed them Come on, or he will definitely burn them all.

Yu Cong said: "Who else is there, isn't it Cao Gou. I don't want to reminisce about the old days today, so go back and tell the general that this Cao Gou is treacherous and cunning, so the general should be more careful."

Feng Dajun also lost the mood to reminisce with Yu Cong, and immediately said: "Brother, then I will go back, and you have to suffer here." Before coming here, he planned to talk to Yu Cong, but now he has no time.

Yu Cong said: "Be careful on the road."

Feng Dajun laughed and said, "I wish someone would be waiting on the road, just to have a good kill." This meeting is simmering with fire! As a mother, she knew that this imperial envoy was not a good guy. As expected, she wanted to plot against his general, she was looking for death.

The next day, Cao De went to Yucheng with a group of entourage, more than 200 people in total. Tan Tuo sent them to the gate of the city and turned back.

Tan Ming was a little worried, and said: "My lord, what if Yun Qing is not Cao De's opponent, what should I do?" If the general changes, his family's life will be difficult.

Tan Tuo said: "Probably not." Although he had confidence in Yunqing and Yuxi, Cao De was not a good opponent, so he was still a little worried.

Yucheng is not clean either. I don't know who spread the rumor that the tens of millions of taels of silver that the Xu family hid in the secret room were all swallowed up by Yunqing.

Mother Xi came back from visiting the child in the nursery, told Yuxi the news, and said, "Madam, these people are too hateful to slander the general so much. Madam, you must find out who is spreading such rumors behind your back , if caught, he must be severely punished.”

Yu Xi didn't take it seriously, and said: "Tens of millions of silver? If there is really so much silver, it's a good thing, at least Yucheng's military expenditure won't be a worry." How could Yu Xi be anxious, she was the one who spread the news Instead of waiting for Cao De to make a move, it would be better to strike first.

Mother Xi felt that Yuxi's heart was really big: "Look, if it continues like this, it will be bad for the general's reputation!" If everyone believed that Yunqing had corrupted the huge sum of money, they would definitely not be convinced.

Yuxi replied to Mother Xi with only four words: "The one who cleans up will clean up himself." The trainee mother looked tangled, and Yuxi smiled and said: "Go and do your work, the general will take care of these things."

After Xi's mother left the study, she went to find Lan's mother and said, "Mom, you should also persuade Madam! This is not a trivial matter, and Madam must take care of it."

Mother Lan said with a smile: "Ten million of silver can be piled up into a hill, and you have to pack a thousand boxes into boxes. With so much silver, could the general be able to make it disappear by magic? I don't know who it is." Spreading such rumors is really ridiculous."

Mother Xi laughed after thinking about it, and said, "I said why Madam is not in a hurry at all, so this is the reason!" The total number of boxes brought back from Yucheng was more than 900 boxes. The contents of those boxes have passed through the eyes of countless people. If there is really gold and silver in them, they would have been yelled out a long time ago, and we still have to wait until now.

This rumor has spread widely, and almost everyone living in Yucheng has heard of it. Zhao Zhuo asked General Zhao, and said, "Father, I don't think this matter may be groundless? Father, do you still remember the more than 60 big boxes that were transported to the military headquarters? Tell me, will the more than 60 big boxes be Is it the huge missing sum?" If the sixty or so large boxes were all gold, and one box counted as ten thousand, then there would be more than six hundred thousand taels of gold, and one tael of gold equals ten taels of silver, which equals more than six million. Two silver.

After a pause, Zhao Zhuo said again: "Speaking of which, Yunqing is really calm, the news is so tightly hidden."

General Zhao said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, Yunqing suddenly changed defenses. The current guards of the military headquarters are all used by the Dingbei Army. In the next few days, the military headquarters has changed at night." Doing such a conspicuous move at this juncture This matter, General Zhao felt very abnormal.

Zhao Zhuo was startled, and said, "Father, you mean that Yunqing heard the wind, so he transported out the gold and silver hidden in the military headquarters?" Zhao Zhuo felt that Yunqing was too courageous.

General Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but the military department is really not normal these days. As for the boxes you mentioned, although the people who moved them said they were heavy, no one opened them. What is inside? No one knows what it is. It may be gold and silver, or it may be other things." The Zhao family has been operating in Yucheng for so many years, and there are few things that can be hidden from him. But Yunqing's actions this time confuse him.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhuo asked: "Father, the imperial envoy will definitely be here soon, what should we do?" Whether to take the opportunity to kill Yunqing, or to sit on the sidelines, all need to be carefully considered.

General Zhao said: "Don't act rashly. The details of the imperial envoy are unclear, but we know how Yunqing and the Han family are. It is not so easy for the imperial envoy to use this matter to bring down Yunqing."

Speaking of Han Yuxi, Zhao Zhuo had to sigh: "This woman is really courageous! She even dared to buy all the property of the Xu family without paying in full." Not to mention that his wife didn't have the guts, even if she was He doesn't even have the guts.

General Zhao said: "She bought these lands, even if she was in debt, no one said anything bad about her, do you have the ability?" , of which 5,000 acres were placed under the name of the Salesian Hospital, and 5,000 acres were placed under the name of Qingmingtang. The remaining 10,000 mu of Yuxi is under her own name, and the money has been paid by now. Only 20,000 taels were paid for the property of the Salesian Home and Qingmingtang, and Yuxi said she would pay the rest at the end of the year.

Zhao Zhuo shook his head and said, "I don't have the ability."

General Zhao said: "So, we will not help each other this time." It means that the Zhao family is watching from the sidelines this time.

Zhao Zhuo nodded and said, "Father, I know how to do it." (To be continued)
