Chapter 178

Two soldiers came out of the house with pale faces and covered their arms. They understand, Kang Donglin shouted loudly: "General, that crazy woman took off our arms, please make the decision for us, General." Such arrogance is rare in his life.

It was also Viola's violence that made other people honestly search the house and dare not touch those glittering and priceless jewelry.

Yuxi said: "If your hands and feet are not clean, your arm will not be removed, but your life will be killed. If you don't believe it, you can try it." This is why Han Jianye brought soldiers over, otherwise Yuxi I don't dare to have such courage.

Kang Donglin wanted someone to arrest Zijin, but he didn't have the courage or the ability. Han Jianye led 10,000 soldiers and horses, several times his number. Even if Han Jianye was leading new recruits and he was leading veterans, he didn't dare to make any changes.

Nothing inappropriate was found in the main courtyard. Du Wenshu and Kang Donglin were not surprised by this result, because they knew that the gold and silver were hidden in the vegetable garden. The entire Yun Mansion was searched, just in case.

After a while, a soldier ran over and said to Du Wenshu and Kang Donglin, "General, Mr. Du, the vegetable garden has found a secret passage."

When Kang Donglin heard this, he showed a look of joy.

Du Wenshu raised his head and looked at Yuxi half-conditioned reflexively, but seeing that there was no panic on Yuxi's face, he secretly thought it was bad.

Han Jianye was also taken aback, looked at Yuxi and asked, "Fourth Sister, is there really a secret passage in the vegetable garden?" If the gold and silver were really hidden in the secret passage, he felt that it might be too late to take Yuxi away now.

Zijin didn't wait for Yuxi to speak, and sneered, "there is no secret passage in the vegetable garden, it's just a cellar dug, and that cellar is used to store vegetables and food. I don't know who disclosed the news to the imperial envoy, saying We have great gold and silver in our cellars."

Han Jianye breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Yuxi, let's go and have a look." No matter what is stored there, as long as it is not gold and silver.

Yuxi said: "It was fine in the past, but don't go down in the cellar." The cellar smells very bad, so it's better not to suffer this.

Han Jianye smiled and said, "Okay."

The big stone at the entrance of the cellar was pried up, and Cao De walked in with a group of people. In fact, the smell in the cellar is not bad, there are vents in it, and they are well done. However, Cao De's face became ugly when he turned everything over and didn't find a penny.

When Cao De and his group came out of the cellar, they saw Yuxi and Han Jianye guarding the entrance, and Du Wenshu and Kang Donglin were beside them.

Yuxi sneered and said: "Didn't you say that the personal evidence is complete? Where is the personal evidence? Where is the physical evidence? Show me it?"

Cao De looked at Du Wenshu. This is Du Wenshu's absolutely reliable source. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought someone to copy Xu's residence.

Du Wenshu felt that his mouth was full of bitterness.

At this moment, a loud voice thought: "Today's matter, if you don't give me an explanation, you absolutely can't let it go like this. Otherwise, you would think that our Yun family is easy to bully!" walk in

Seeing Huo Changqing, Yu Xi hurried over and said, "Uncle Huo, why are you here?"

Huo Changqing said: "I'm fine." Then he turned around and stared at Cao De and Du Wenshu, and continued, "Cao De, Du Wenshu, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer today, no one can even take half a step out of Yunfu. I Huo does what he says, try it if you don’t believe me!" Yun Mansion is not a place where everyone can behave wildly.

Looking at this posture, Kang Donglin knew he was defeated, but at this time, he was still stubborn,

Said: "Master Cao, I haven't finished searching, maybe those things are stored elsewhere!" It is impossible for Yunfu to have only one cellar.

Du Wenshu would know that his news was wrong. Even if this batch of gold and silver were really corrupted by Yunqing, they definitely hadn't been placed in the Yunfu, otherwise the Han family wouldn't be so calm.

The entire Yun Mansion was searched, but the rumored gold and silver were not found. At this point, Cao De stopped talking, and asked Huo Changqing very straightforwardly: "I don't know what kind of explanation you want?" Cao De was not guilty, because he had enough evidence to prove that Yunqing was indeed greedy. sum of money. It's a pity that Yunqing was superior, so they couldn't find the money.

Huo Changqing looked at Yuxi and asked, "What do you think?"

Yu Xi said expressionlessly: "First of all, compensate our Yunfu for the loss. I don't want too much, so I will give you 50,000 taels of silver as compensation."

Cao De's heart froze, fifty thousand taels of silver is not much, it's like a lion opening his mouth. Du Wenshu said beside him: "Madam Yun, don't we have so much money?"

Yu Xi snorted coldly and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have that much money, just write down the IOU."

Cao De asked: "What else?"

Yu Xi said: "Second, in front of everyone, promise to pay the 1.8 million silver in arrears for military expenses after returning."

Cao De gasped for asking him to write such a letter of guarantee. Don't say that the treasury has money now, even if there is no money, he can't accept this. Cao De immediately refused, saying: "Mrs. Yun, you are in a difficult position."

Yu Xi sneered and said: "It's difficult for the strong? Cao De, when you are in the border town, you can mobilize troops if you want, search the military headquarters if you want to search the military headquarters, and copy the Yunfu if you want to. You are so capable and you must have a way to make the court Did you allocate the military expenses that are in arrears this year?" After a pause on purpose, Yuxi continued: "Or is it that the imperial court didn't want to allocate this amount at all, and just wanted to pass it on in such a vague way. But, without this money, there is no way to give it to the soldiers. The soldiers in Yucheng won’t be able to survive the winter even if they pay the military salaries? You can’t let them endure cold and starvation to defend their homes and the country!”

Cao De stared at Yuxi and said, "Madam Yun, what exactly do you want to do?"

Yuxi glanced at Cao De coldly, then scanned all the people present, and said: "You ask me what I want to do? I want to ask you what you want to do? Not to mention that the border towns are fighting now, just what is needed Everyone is dedicated to resisting the enemy. Just say that you are so impatient to accuse my general of embezzling huge sums of money, who do you want him to make way for?" Without giving Cao De a chance to speak, Yuxi continued: "If you don't have a soldier talisman, you will Dare to mobilize troops, and you dare to copy the mansion of the second-rank general without an imperial decree, but I would like to ask, Cao De, who gave you the courage?"

Cao De's face was a bit disheartened, if the evidence of confiscating the gold and silver was convincing, he would not only have failed, but would have made great contributions. But if the gold and silver were not found, what he did was a serious crime.

Du Wenshu said: "Mrs. Yun, it's not that Your Highness doesn't want to transfer the money, it's just that the treasury has no money, so we want to recover the money."

Zi Jin interjected and asked, "You mean if the money cannot be recovered, the imperial court will not allocate the money? I heard that the birthday banquet of Concubine Song cost more than 600,000 taels a few months ago. Silver. Why, you have money to live your life but don’t have the money to pay the army to buy supplies for the winter?” Song Guifei spent more than 200,000 silver for her birthday, and Zijin deliberately said that it was twice as much.

Relying on his status as an imperial envoy, Cao De knew that Yunqing and Yuxi would not dare to attack him. But this time, hearing Zijin's words, she broke out in a cold sweat. There were hundreds of soldiers present, if everyone believed this, the consequences would be very serious. Cao De said sharply: "Mrs. Yun, are you just letting the servant girl spread rumors here?"

Yuxi said: "Whether it's spreading rumors or something is true, you know better than me. Well, don't talk nonsense anymore, can you agree to the two conditions I said?"

Cao Dejue said: "Mrs. Yun, I have no way to agree to such a condition. Even if I agree, I can't do it."

Yu Xi didn't want to talk to these people, and said: "Then write the IOU. You can't be the master of the prince, you can always be your own master! Write the IOU in your own name. Give me the money when the time comes Brother, I just borrowed him one hundred thousand silver coins to buy the land, and I can pay back half of the money."

Cao De said: "What if I don't write it?"

Zijin said: "If you don't write, just leave me an arm. It's really like Yunfu is a market, come and go whenever you want." Reasoning with this kind of person will not work.

Jiang Bin looked at the ferocious Zijin, and said in a low voice: "Master Cao, just write it!" After writing the IOU, write it, and when you return to the capital, you will be fine if you refuse to accept the debt. If the Han family can cross in Yucheng, then Yunqing is the chief general of the border city, and if they return to the capital, it will be their territory. If you want money, let this woman ask for it in prison.

Cao De looked at Du Wenshu and asked, "Lord Du, what do you think?" If Du Wenshu hadn't said conclusively that the gold and silver were hidden in the vegetable garden, he wouldn't have come either. However, it was also this incident that made him understand one thing, Yun Qing was easy to deal with when he was upright, and the Han family was a very dangerous person, such a person must not be kept, it would be a disaster if he stayed.

Du Wenshu said: "Let's write it!" This time he offended Yun Qing and the Han family so badly, Cao De patted his ass and left, but he wanted to stay. One can imagine how difficult it will be for him in the following days. In fact, Du Wenshu was not worried about Yunqing, because Yunqing was an upright person and would not deceive her, but Han Shi was different, this woman was ruthless. I offended her this time, and I don't know how to deal with him.

Cao De felt that he, the imperial envoy, was really humiliated. However, in order to keep his arm, he could only write down the IOU, and after writing it, he signed his name and stamped it. That's the end of it.

Cao De and Du Wenshu left Yunfu safely, but Kang Donglin was left behind. Kang Donglin, who was strangled by Zijin, asked with a very ugly expression: "Han Shi, what do you want to do?"

Yu Xi just ignored Kang Donglin, and only said to Han Jianye: "Second brother, you can leave this person to He Rui!"

Han Jianye left behind five hundred elite soldiers, and then took Geng Jichen to the military headquarters. As for Geng Jichen's subordinates, with Han Jianye's words to put down their weapons and let the past go, no one resisted, and they all put down their weapons honestly. Knowing that there is a dead end ahead, but still stepping forward, isn't it stupid!

Everyone left, only the people in the mansion remained. Only then did Zi Jin say: "Ma'am, why do I feel like singing a big show? It's not enough for this show, it's not fun." She moved her lips a bit, didn't fight, and left without seeing any blood.

Yuxi laughed and said: "How do you want to enjoy yourself? It's because the general doesn't want to make a big deal, otherwise why would they allow them to act wildly." Although she said that Yunqing is a wimp, in fact Yunqing has 50,000 troops in his hands and has real power People are not really useless. They also had scruples, and they also had their own plans, so Cao De was allowed to search the mansion.

Zijin snorted and said, "Didn't you say the general is a wimp?"

Yuxi smiled lightly and said, "If I don't say that, what should I say? Could it be that Yunqing is wise and powerful?"

Zijin curled her lips and didn't speak any more. (to be continued)
