Chapter 182: Sharing the Spoils

Ning Chen left the palace carrying two large bags of medicine.

He rode Diao Chan and returned to the Supervisory Department.

What Ning Chen didn't expect was that there was an unexpected surprise waiting for him.

Feng Qizhen and Chen Chong are back!

He secretly kept half of the gold, silver and jewelry, and was escorted by Feng Qizhen and Chen Chong, and returned to Beijing a few days later.

"I heard that you overthrew the left prime minister?"

Feng Qizhen's eyes were full of shock.

Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Yes, but it was not thorough enough, and this grandson ran away!"

Chen Chong said: "Do you know how shocked we were when we came back to hear this news? Ning Chen, you are really amazing, I am convinced!"

Ning Chen smiled, "Then why don't you kowtow to me?"

"Get lost!"

Ning Chen smiled, changed the subject, and said: "Are all the things safe?"

The two nodded.

Feng Qizheng said, "The things are at my house!"

Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "You two just came back, I'll give you a day off... You two can contact each other and exchange all those things for silver notes."

Chen Chong said, "Ning Chen, our identities are inconvenient. We can't go directly to the bank to exchange such a large amount of gold and silver treasures... Once discovered, it will be a big trouble."

Ning Chen nodded slightly. These gold and silver treasures were secretly withheld by him and could not be seen in public.

But if they were not exchanged for silver notes, he couldn't drag a few boxes of gold to the military camp to distribute them to the soldiers, right?

"What do you have in mind?"

Feng Qizhen said, "We can go to the black market... I know someone who is definitely capable of taking this batch of gold and silver treasures."

Ning Chen was surprised and said, "You have this way?"

Feng Qizhen laughed and said, "I have worked in the Supervisory Department for so many years. From high-ranking officials to people from all walks of life, I know a few people at least?"

Ning Chen asked, "Is it safe?"

"Don't worry about that. Each industry has its own rules... But the exchange rate may be lower."

Ning Chen nodded slightly, "It's less, just don't be too outrageous!"

"Then I'll leave this to you two."

Feng Qizhen laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that we two will embezzle?"

Ning Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Get out of here... By the way, I'll treat you tonight at the Music Bureau!"

The two animals cried excitedly.

Feng Qizhen waved his fist, "I want three tonight."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, thinking, aren't you afraid of dying of exhaustion?

Send the two animals away.

Ning Chen came to Pan Yucheng's room.

Pan Yucheng was not there, probably interrogating the prisoner with Geng Jing.

Ning Chen stayed for more than an hour, bored, so he left the Supervisory Office and came to the Music Bureau.

"Ning Lang, are you okay?"

Yudie was very surprised to see Ning Chen.

Ning Chen asked in surprise: "Me? What's wrong with me?"

"They said Ning Lang is missing?"

Someone from the Supervisory Office came to her to look for Ning Chen, saying that Ning Chen was missing, and she was so worried that she didn't sleep all night.

Ning Chen smiled and said: "I'm fine... I just went out of town to do something and forgot to tell them."

Yudie breathed a sigh of relief, her little face bright and charming, "I'm glad Ning Lang is okay!"

Ning Chen put the medicine in his hand on the table.

"Yudie, have someone help me boil the medicine... By the way, don't throw away the medicine residue, I'll put it in the bathtub when I take a bath."

Yudie was worried, "Is Ning Lang injured?"

Ning Chen shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm not injured... This is a medicine for strengthening the body, called Meirenle!"

Yudie was curious, "Meirenle?"

Ning Chen smiled evilly and whispered a few words in his ear.

Yudie's face suddenly flushed.

"Actually...Actually, Ning Lang is already very powerful!"

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "Not powerful enough, compared to my colleagues, I'm still far behind."

"I don't ask for much, just two things, three meals a day is enough! If even one of these can't be satisfied, then I'm too useless."

Yudie had a question mark on her forehead, "Three meals a day, isn't this one thing?"

Ning Chen shook his head and smiled evilly, "No, it's two things!"

Yudie thought about it, and suddenly her face became even redder.

Immediately, she asked Xiaoxing to boil the medicine for Ning Chen.

After waiting for a while, the medicine was boiled.

Ning Chen picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all.

Men are like this. They usually don't eat this or that, but if you tell them that this thing can nourish the kidneys, they can eat anything except shit.

Yudie kindly fed Ning Chen a candied fruit.

After drinking the medicine, it seemed that the effect of the medicine took effect after a while.

Ning Chen only felt a warm current spreading from his abdomen, and his whole body was warm.

It seems that this medicine is indeed useful.

If the effect of this medicine is really as powerful as the old procuress said, it is simply a blessing for male compatriots.

Ning Chen has planned it out. If this medicine is really useful, he will open a medicine shop in the future to sell this medicine. He will definitely make a lot of money. The first set of medicine will be sold to Emperor Xuan.

But then the women of Daxuan will be miserable!

Yudie covered her mouth and yawned.

"Are you sleepy?"

Yudie hummed softly, "They said Ninglang is missing. I was so worried that I didn't sleep all night."

Ning Chen felt a little distressed and took her hand, "Let's go, I'll sleep with you for a while!"

After getting into bed, Yudie was really tired. She curled up in Ning Chen's arms like a kitten and fell asleep quickly.

Ning Chen originally wanted to do something, but seeing Yudie so tired, he gave up the idea and fell asleep in a daze.

.......

The next day, when Ning Chen left the Jiaofangsi, he didn't see Feng Qizhen and Chen Chong's horses.

He rode back to the Supervisory Department by himself.

As soon as he arrived at a place, Feng Qizhen and Chen Chong pulled him to a corner.

"Ning Chen, it's done!"

Ning Chen was confused, "What's done?"

"That batch of gold and silver treasures."

Ning Chen's eyes lit up, "It's so fast, it's done so quickly?"

Feng Qizhen muttered, "I feel uneasy if I don't deal with such a large batch of gold and silver treasures at home... I didn't even go to the Jiaofang Department, I dealt with it overnight."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "How much silver did you exchange?"

Feng Qizhen stretched out a finger.

Ning Chen frowned, "Don't tell me ten thousand taels?"

Feng Qizhen complained, "Do you know how to count? Is this one? This is seven."

Ning Chen looked at the finger that stood straight up, speechless, "You call this seven?"

"My finger was injured and can't bend it!"

Ning Chen really wanted to kick him, who could tell this?

"Seventy thousand taels? Isn't that too little?"

Feng Qizhen laughed and said, "Not seventy thousand taels, but seven hundred thousand taels."

"Fuck!!!"

"So much?"

Ning Chen was a little surprised.

Feng Qizhen said proudly, "Those boxes of gold look a lot, but they didn't exchange much... The real valuables are the pearls, gems, and jade."

Ning Chen laughed, "Well done... Where are the silver notes?"

"With the boss."

Ning Chen said, "Let's go and take a look!"

"Hehehe... Divide the spoils!"

Feng Qizhen grinned.

Ning Chen kicked him unhappily, "Can you change the word? What do you mean by divide the spoils? We fought for it with our lives, and we deserve it."

"Yes, yes, yes... We deserve it, we deserve it... Hehehe!"

Ning Chen shook his head speechlessly, and the three of them came to Pan Yucheng's room.

Pan Yucheng said nothing and took out a wooden box from the cabinet behind.

Ning Chen opened it and took a look. There was a stack of silver notes inside.

Ning Chen took out the banknotes and divided out 100,000 taels first, "These will be divided equally among the soldiers, 100 taels each."

"There are 600,000 taels left... I, Lao Pan, and you two will each get 100,000 taels. Yuan Long and Qi Yuanzhong will each get 50,000 taels. The remaining 50,000 taels will be for Lord Geng, and the remaining 50,000 taels will be for Lao Gao and the brothers in the first place. We can't forget them when there are benefits."

Pan Yucheng hesitated for a moment and said, "The soldiers got too little, right?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Not a small amount. Their annual military pay is only a few taels of silver. 100 taels is enough for them to marry and have children, and the rest can buy a nice small courtyard."

"If you give them too much, their appetite will be fattened, and something will happen in the future."

Pan Yucheng thought it made sense and nodded slightly.

Ning Chen continued, "Also, we can't give them this silver for now... Wait until His Majesty's reward comes down, and then we will give them this silver in our personal name."

"Otherwise, suddenly taking out so much silver will arouse suspicion."

"Old Pan, you will keep this silver for the time being!"

Pan Yucheng laughed, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the silver? This is 700,000 taels."

Ning Chen smiled, "Run away at will, I can even catch the Zuo Ting Wang, where can you run to?"

Pan Yucheng said, "Then you catch the Zuo Xiang back and let me see?"

Ning Chen: "..."

"Old Pan, you really don't know how to chat!"

Ning Chen changed the subject and said, "Do you know any Fang Ya?"

Fang Ya is equivalent to modern real estate agents.

Feng Qizhen said, "Do you want to buy a house?"

Ning Chen nodded, "Ning Mansion was confiscated, I am homeless now, I have to have a place to stay."

Chen Chong smirked, "Wouldn't it be nice for you to live in the Jiaofangsi?"

Ning Chen rolled his eyes, "Nonsense... I can't go to the Jiaofangsi to investigate cases every day, right? I will be criticized."

Pan Yucheng asked, "How big a house do you plan to buy?"

Ning Chen thought for a while, "A two-story house will do."

Daxuan's house has a small courtyard at the first entrance, less than a thousand taels... But if you add another entrance, you have to add a thousand taels of silver. If it has a garden, a horse farm, etc., it will be calculated separately.

Feng Qizhen joked, "You are so rich now, buying such a small house is not in line with your status."

Ning Chen rolled his eyes, "I live alone, why do I need such a big house?"

Even if it is a two-story house, it will cost at least three thousand taels of silver... If the location is good, the price will be higher.

Ordinary people can't earn so much money in several lifetimes.

Feng Qizhen said, "I know a few housekeepers. I'll help you find out and recommend you a suitable one."

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

Pan Yucheng said, "You two go out first, Ning Chen stays."

"Yes!"

Feng Qizhen and Chen Chong went out.

Pan Yucheng looked at Ning Chen and said, "We have made great contributions in this Northern Expedition. Now, with the 100,000 taels of silver you gave me and the reward from your majesty, I have almost enough silver in my hand. I want to redeem Nanzhi."

Ning Chen was slightly startled, and then said, "It won't work even if I have silver. Miss Nanzhi and Yudie are both daughters of officials who have been convicted... They are slaves and cannot be redeemed."

Pan Yucheng said, "I want to ask your majesty to pardon Nanzhi."

Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "Let's wait a little longer!"

"In fact, I asked your majesty to pardon Yudie before... but I was scolded out."

"Now is a time of trouble, and your majesty is not in a good mood... So, it's not appropriate to ask for permission at this time."

"When the right time comes, I will ask His Majesty again and plead for Miss Nanzhi."

Pan Yucheng thought for a while and nodded slightly, "Thank you!"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Why are you being polite to me?"

In fact, it is more difficult to ask His Majesty to pardon Yudie than Nanzhi.

The Emperor Xuan is now trying to match him with the Ninth Princess. Although he has refused several times, it can be seen that the Emperor Xuan is still unwilling to give up.

So, the Emperor Xuan will not allow a brothel girl to enter the Ning family before the Ninth Princess.

Ning Chen sighed helplessly.

At this moment, Feng Qizhen's voice sounded outside the door, "Boss, Ning Chen...someone is coming from the palace!"

Ning Chen and Pan Yucheng hurried out to receive the order.

The person who came was Eunuch Quan, with a group of palace guards, and also brought a lot of large boxes and a tray covered with yellow cloth. I wonder what it is?

Ning Chen immediately realized that His Majesty's reward had come.

"Pan Yucheng, Ning Chen, Feng Qizhen, Chen Chong, accept the decree!"

The four men knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Minister, accept the decree!"

The shrill voice of Eunuch Quan sounded: "Ning Chen went on an expedition to the northern border and returned victorious. He has made great contributions and is rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, a number of gold, silver and jade articles, 1,000 pieces of silk and satin, 1,000 acres of good land outside the city, and a house on Changxuan Street."

"Pan Yucheng, for his meritorious service in the expedition, is rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold, a number of gold, silver and jade articles, 1,000 pieces of silk and satin, and 500 acres of good land outside the city."

"Feng Qizhen, Chen Chong, are rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold, a number of gold, silver and jade articles, 1,000 pieces of silk and satin, and 100 acres of good land outside the city."

Eunuch Quan closed the imperial edict and walked to Ning Chen, "Mr. Ning, accept the decree and thank you!"

"Minister, thank the Lord for his grace!"

Ning Chen took the imperial edict and stood up immediately.

He walked to a box and opened it casually, which was full of gold ingots.

"Old Quan, these are all mine, right?"

Eunuch Quan's mouth twitched, then he nodded.

Ning Chen grabbed several ingots of gold and walked over to give them to Eunuch Quan.

"Mr. Ning, you can't do this..."

Eunuch Quan was speechless, this was too fair and aboveboard.

"Take it, don't be polite...everyone who sees it gets a share!"

Ning Chen forced the gold on him, then walked back and grabbed the gold and threw it to the palace guards.

"Come on, come on...don't be polite, everyone who sees it gets a share, anyone who doesn't want it is not giving me, Ning Chen, face, I will go to His Majesty to report you later."

Ning Chen said as he grabbed the gold ingots and threw them around, and everyone in silver and red clothes around got a share...until he finished throwing a box of gold ingots.

It's not that Ning Chen is stupid and generous, but there are many benefits to doing this.

Although people who are not envied are mediocre, but if there are many people who envy you, there will be many obstacles...a little favor can save you a lot of obstacles.
