Dressed As An Ancient Heroine Control Group

If Du Ke was in a good mood just now, then Du Ke is in a bad mood now. He looked at the boxes of white silver, some golden gold, and some jewelry, etc. His whole face turned black. "These are all from the robbers' den?" So much silver, not including the robbers who ate and used it, how much does it have to add up?

Du Ke remembered the old guy Yonghe Hou, no wonder the bandits were so active, no wonder the money found by the bandits was directly used as military salaries, it turned out that this caused a lot. Thinking that these silvers can be used as military salaries, the old guy Yonghe Hou must be in a good mood. However, he was not in a good mood, because the money was robbed from the common people.

Qin Fang said: "These were found from the robbers' den, but the last general has taken 40%, 30% is used for the development of the military camp in Yunxiang County, and 10% is rewarded by the emperor to the last general." Qin Fang said this. , said that his face was not red or dry.

Du Ke glanced at him. If he didn't know Qin Fang's mind at this time, then he would not be worthy of sitting in the position of the Minister of War and the emperor's confidant. When Qin Fang wrote the letter, he didn't directly say how much money was in the robbers' den. That's the idea. If so, can you get that much money?

Qin Fang was also a little guilty. After all, it was the first time he did this kind of thing, and he secretly prayed for luck. If this didn't happen, the emperor did not agree in advance, but first let the imperial envoy to check the silver, then he won't get 30% of the money, and he will lose 10% of his own.

Du Ke also had no idea. Although Qin Fang was careful, Qin Fang's behavior was obviously much better than that of Yonghe Hou taking all the stolen money. However, how come from the Yongzhou Barracks, more like bandits than bandits?

Qin Fang added: "The last general only took 40% of the silver, and these jewels have not been touched. Also, these are only found in the robbers' den, not including the county magistrate's warehouse, which will be seen at the end. , but he didn't move, and the last commander didn't dare to move, you moved to see."

When Du Ke heard this, he had a bottom line: "Let's go and have a look."

The county magistrate's warehouse is in the county magistrate's bedroom, and there are many soldiers on the door handle. As soon as Duko saw the posture of the soldier, he knew that the situation inside must be serious.

When the soldiers saw Qin Fang, they hurriedly saluted: "General."

Qin Fang nodded and stepped forward to open the door: "Sir, please."

Du Ke and the people he brought into the house, Qin Fang followed, and then closed the door. Then Qin Fang walked to the portrait on the wall and took down the portrait. The mechanism was very clever. If he didn't pay attention, even if he took down the portrait, he would not have noticed that there was an mechanism here, because the button of this mechanism was used for To hang pictures. So according to normal thinking, who would have thought that this was an organ? Most people think it is the wooden nails on which the portraits are hung.

Qin Fang pressed the wooden nail inside, and then a wall was removed.

Du Ke and others walked in and saw three wooden cabinets, and the wooden cabinets were either silver or gold. This amount was several times the 50,000 yuan the robber had.

Du Ke's face was very ugly.

Three years of Qing Dynasty prefect, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. This year, Du Ke really saw the meaning of this sentence.

Of course, 100,000 taels of silver is not too much in Du Ke's eyes, and his Du family's fortune is more than that. However, look at the origin of the money. The robbers' den found 50,000 taels, which were stolen from the common people. For ordinary people who spend only 2 taels a year, what does this 50,000 taels mean? It means that there are tens of thousands of ordinary people who have been robbed, which means that even if there are not tens of thousands of ordinary people, they have been robbed for many years.

Looking at the county magistrate's warehouse, even if you don't have to count it carefully, Du Ke knows that if you convert gold into silver, the money here will add up to several hundred thousand taels.

This is how much people's fat and people's cream have been looted?

No, it may not have been obtained by scavenging people's fat and people's cream. This county magistrate should have used extraordinary means.

Du Ke looked at Qin Fang: "Do you know the origin of these silver coins?" His voice was as cold as ice slag.

Qin Fang felt that the county magistrate was going to be unlucky. "It came from the robbers, and also from the Feng Family Medical Center. The Feng Family Medical Center uses cheap medicines with small profits but quick turnover. Over the years, the profits are very considerable. Moreover, the reason why the bandits only have 50,000 taels left. The money is due to the large number of people and the high expenditure. But the county magistrate has less family and less expenditure, so he will naturally have money."

Du Ke raised his eyebrows: "Small profits but quick turnover?" These words are somewhat meaningful.

Qin Fang said: "It is to attract customers with meager profits and increase profits with multiple sales." This is what his daughter-in-law described to him. "Furthermore, because of the problems with the medicines in the Feng Family Medical Center, the efficacy of the medicines is very slow. If the medicine is slow, the people will buy more often, and then the profits of the Feng Family Medical Center will increase. However, the common people don't know. One of the ways. They thought it was the same medicine as other hospitals, but the price was cheaper in Feng's hospital, so according to the number of purchases, compared with the medicines of other hospitals, the common people thought they were making money."

Sadly, they didn't know it, and in fact lost a lot of money.

Du Ke said sharply: "Use the lives of ordinary people to make these dirty money, such people should be killed."

His murderous aura was so strong that Qin Fang and others didn't dare to make a sound.

Things in Huanshui County went quite smoothly for Du Ke. When Qin placed the bandits in the bandit den to subdue the bandits, the bandits had already confessed. There was something about the county magistrate in the bandit's confession, so the county magistrate could not deny it. For people like the county magistrate, blessings may not be shared, but disasters must be pulled back. Therefore, when he knew that he had no hope of escape, he directly dragged Doctor Feng and the Feng Family Medical Center into the water.

Speaking of which, the county magistrate still has some brains. At least, Doctor Feng doesn't know about him and the bandits. He would rather let the robbers ask Dr. Li for help than the Feng Family Medical Center. Lest Doctor Feng take advantage of this incident to blackmail him.

But now, the bandit chief, the county magistrate, and Feng doctor are all locked together. The three sinful people look at each other every day.

But after seeing the county magistrate, Du Ke asked Qin Fang a question: "Qin Fang, do you know why the county magistrate has so much money, but is still so thin?"

Qin Fang didn't expect Du Ke to be so humorous, he frankly said, "I don't know at the end."

Duke smiled: "Do you think he might be hungry and thin by himself?"

Qin Fang couldn't understand it. To be honest, he hadn't paid attention to this issue before, and he didn't expect such a majestic Lord Du to pay attention to this kind of thing. But: "No way? If he is hungry and thin, what does he do with so much stolen money?"

Duko nodded: "So, let me tell you why he is thin. You may not know that some women will buckle their sore throats every day in order to maintain their slim body, or eat something that induces vomiting, and then eat something that induces vomiting. If you eat too much, you will lose interest in what you eat, so after you can't eat anything, you will lose weight.

I see that the county magistrate also has some such doorways. He has so much stolen money. If he eats big fish and meat every day, he will definitely gain weight. Once he gets fat, he will not be able to maintain the image of Qingzhi County. As the saying goes, to see if this county magistrate is greedy or not, it depends on whether his body is fat or not. So, that's what he should have done. "

Qin Fang rarely flattered: "Your Excellency is wise."

Qin Fang stayed in Huanshui County for about 20 days. In the past 20 days, Du Ke had already left after handling the affairs of Huanshui County. Qin Fang had to continue to stay because the sick people had not recovered. This. Knowing that they were cured, he took them out of Huanshui County and continued on their way.

However, they were on their way when Yang Haiyan and the others arrived in Yunxiang County.

Those who have seen Huanshui County, seeing Yunxiang County at this moment, have a feeling of being unable to return to their senses for a long time. The main reason is that Huanshui County is too desolate, so desolate that standing outside the county seat and watching the collapsed city wall of the county seat can make people suspect that they have gone to the wrong place.

Regardless of whether the county magistrate of Huanshui County is embezzling or earning stolen money, at least on the surface, Huanshui County has developed well. No one talks about robbers. There is also a doctor Feng in the county seat who is a great man. Although the county seat is not prosperous, it can be considered consistent. If you don't compare Huanshui counties, just take border counties, and that's a good development.

But, what is going on in Yunxiang County? The city walls have collapsed, so is there no one to take care of it? What does the county magistrate do? Could it be that because Yunxiang County is not at the border, the city wall does not need to be used to defend the enemy, so it is allowed to collapse like this.

Lv Xiaowei came to Yang Haiyan: "Madam, is this Yunxiang County?"

Yang Haiyan didn't know either. Although she had read in a geological magazine before that Yunxiang County was a relatively remote and poor place, everything in front of her limited her imagination. Because no matter how remote and poor, even the city walls of the county town are like this?

Not to mention that the imperial court does not care, it is passed to the imperial court. Does the magistrate of Yunxiang County still need his head?

Yang Haiyan got off the carriage and said, "I don't know either. Go and ask the yamen at the gate of the city." On the way, they looked at the map and asked people, it should be right.

Captain Lu: "Yes."

In fact, the yamen at the gate of the city watched the brigade come over, there were 2,560 people, and they were also afraid, because they were afraid that the people who came were not good. However, they still came over boldly: "Excuse me...Is General Qin Fang Qin here?" The county magistrate said that the generals of the imperial court would bring people here to settle down, since there are more than 3,000 people, it should be considered easy to recognize .

Lv Xiaowei had just walked a few steps when he saw the yamen coming over, and when he heard the other person asking this, he arched his fist and said, "I am Lv Zhide, Colonel General Qin's subordinate. General Qin was delayed in Huanshui County due to court affairs. In addition, we have hundreds of people who are sick and have to stay in Huanshui County for treatment, so the general asked me to bring more than 2,000 people here first."

When the yamen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was a half-month journey, and these people didn't arrive until a month later, so the county magistrate was naturally worried about an accident. As soon as the county magistrate was worried, these people would be talked about, so they would walk a certain way every day and wait for General Qin's brigade to come over. "I have seen Captain Lu, you are finally here, the county magistrate is waiting for you, please come quickly."

Colonel Lu said, "Don't worry, the general's wife is with us this time. I'll ask my wife earlier."

When the yamen heard that the general's wife was here, he hurriedly said, "No rush, no rush." ​​Even so, the other yamen had already run back to the county government to inform the county magistrate.

Captain Lu went to the carriage and said, "Madam, these yamen are here waiting for the general under the order of the county magistrate. We are invited to the county government at this time, what do you think?"

Yang Haiyan said: "You first send people to set up a tent here to settle the people who came with us, and then go to the county town to buy food. Everyone is tired from the journey. It is important to eat." When Fang was ordered to come, it was naturally the county magistrate who came out to greet him, so how could he come to visit. Even if Qin Fang is not here now, it is enough to do this.

Yang Haiyan didn't know if the county magistrate planned to give Qin Fang a show, but as Qin Fang's wife, she naturally wanted to replace Qin Fang. It's impossible for her to come to visit today, either the county magistrate will come out to greet him, or everyone will disappear, depending on who can survive.

However, looking at the situation of the city wall, she also expected that the grandfather of Ding County would come.

Lv Xiaowei got Yang Haiyan's words and immediately called everyone to gather. He arranged for most of the people to set up tents, and arranged for some people to go to the county to buy food.

Yang Haiyan only had Aunt Yu and Aunt Hong by her side, while Aunt Fan and Aunt Lian stayed by Qin Fang's side. Aunt Yu can only do rough work, and can't do it alone. Aunt Hong still has children, which is not convenient. Speaking of which, Hong Datou is amazing, such a small baby is not infected with a cold. During that time, after some people were infected, the number of infected people gradually increased. Uncle Hong and Aunt Hong were worried to death for Hong Datou.

But who knows, Hong Datou is alive and well, very well. Uncle Hong and Aunt Hong were happy, and so was Yang Haiyan. Hong Datou was also grown up by her. She only raised her body with a bowl of goat milk every day. She also hoped that he would be well.

Yang Haiyan's gaze stopped on Madam Niu and Mrs. Kun Zhang, and after watching for a while, she retracted her gaze.

The tent was not set up yet, and the people who went to buy food didn't come back. In fact, the county magistrate Yang did not mean to let Qin Fang go to Ma Wei. In fact, he waited here for several days, and he never saw the 3,000 people Qin Fang brought over, and he did not know when Qin Fang would arrive. So I didn't come out to greet him. He is a county magistrate in a poor place,

What do you use to dispose of a general who has soldiers in the fifth rank? Is he a local snake? Just rely on these shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the county government? Magistrate Yang did not have this confidence.

Yang Haiyan stood beside the carriage and watched Magistrate Yang come over.

Magistrate Yang knew that General Qin was not here, but Mrs. Qin was also the official of the fifth rank, which was higher than his rank. Moreover, he already knew the origin of General Qin. Even if he was a county magistrate in a poor place, there were always a few people he knew. Knowing that the imperial court was going to be transferred to be a general defending the city, he always wanted to know about him. Unexpectedly, he and this Mrs. Qin still have some relationship, which is unexpected.

The county magistrate said: "Yang Shunlei, the magistrate of Yunxiang County, Xiaguan, brought the county magistrate's documents and Song Wenbing, the chief registrar, and met Yiren."

Yang Haiyan returned the ceremony and said: "I have seen Master Yang, the chief of Baixian County, and the chief clerk of Song. The general was delayed in some affairs in Huanshui County, so the concubine took some people on the road first. The general said before, and these people settled outside the county first. , Arrangements will be made when the general returns. Regarding some matters, Mr. Yang can discuss with Colonel Lu."

Magistrate Yang: "Yes. It's pleasant. The General's Mansion has been renovated and cleaned. You can enter the mansion at any time."

This was a surprise to Yang Haiyan. Before lunch was ready, she said, "Then I'll go take a look, and the county magistrate Yang will lead the way. Of course, if the magistrate Yang is busy with the county's affairs, she will send someone to show me the way. Can."

Magistrate Yang: "It's not busy, it's pleasant, please."

Yang Haiyan snorted and said again: "Aunt Yu, Mrs. Kun Zhang, you can go with me. Captain Kun, you can also accompany you with your private guard."

"Yes."

Yang Haiyan: "Let's go on foot, this will be our home in the future, so we can see the local people along the way."

Magistrate Yang: "Yiren is thoughtful, but there is really no place in Yunxiang County for Yiren to appreciate." Speaking of this, he sighed

Yang Haiyan saw that there seemed to be something hidden between his words, but she didn't ask.

The county magistrate Yang added: "Speaking of which, Xiaguan and Yiren may have some origins."

This made Yang Haiyan curious, and she glanced at him, but she really had no impression of this person: "I also ask Master Yang to explain my doubts."

They walked at the front, the county magistrate, the master book, Kun Shi and others, and then followed.

The magistrate Yang smiled and asked, "Is Yiren from the family of Mrs. Yang who was executed two years ago?"

Yang Haiyan was stunned for a moment, remembering the name he just said when he introduced you. Are you the Yang family? "If it is, it can really count as some fate. It's not a relationship, but it's just a matter of fate.

After hearing Yang Haiyan's words, the magistrate Yang understood that she was acquiescing, and explained: "Xiaguan is a child of the Yang family who came out of the five clothes, but the relationship is too far away. There is not much contact between the Xiaguan family and the Yang family. However, it also took advantage of the children of the Yang family. Therefore, after the high-ranking imperial examination, it was placed in a fairly good place. After the Yang family accident the year before, the Xiaguan line was not implicated and killed. I was transferred here. But speaking of it, it is a blessing to be able to become an official and hold on to my life."

Yang Haiyan sighed, the matter of the Yang family did not implicate innocent servants, so why is it not a blessing for servants? So it has to be said that the laws of Qiguo are much more humanized than the ancient Chinese laws she knew. Although she didn't know the magistrate Yang, but with this level of relationship, it did bring some distance. She could see that Magistrate Yang was also trying to get close, and she naturally didn't have any reason to push him away, after all, he was one of the local snakes here. "So that's the case. That's really some origin. I originally came here from my hometown, and I was still a little scared, but now I know that the adult is an old friend, but I feel a little more at ease."

Her words were a bit weak. After all, she is young, only eighteen years old, so it is not ashamed to say these words.

The county magistrate Yang said: "The places where Yihe and the general need the help of the lower officials are rich." The magistrate Yang also knew that he would not have a bright future. Unless he had a lot of credit, even if the emperor didn't pursue the Yang family's five-servant children, the court would not reuse them.

In contrast, Qin Fang was different. A 22-year-old general of the fifth grade, his future is limitless. Therefore, Magistrate Yang was willing to pay them in advance.

While speaking, the group of them arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.

The entrance of the General's Mansion is very large, and the two stone lions at the entrance are very mighty, mainly because of the shape of the house, and the area looks huge. Yang Haiyan asked, "This yard doesn't look simple."

The county magistrate said: "This turned out to be Prince Liang's mansion. Twenty years ago, after Prince Liang passed away, because he had no children, everything was taken over by the imperial court. Now that General Qin has been transferred over, the imperial court has asked the lower officials to directly take over the former Liang. The palace was renovated into a general's palace."

Yang Haiyan only mentioned Prince Liang to Qin Fang a month ago. She had also seen it in the geological magazine, but she never thought that this would be Prince Liang's mansion. Prince Liang's mansion is not favored, so his territory is not good. But no matter how bad the territory is, there are still better county towns than Yunxiang County. How could King Liang choose the palace here? Yang Haiyan was puzzled, so she asked directly: "Yunxiang County looks quite... barren, how could the king of Liang be built here?"

Yang County Magistrate naturally knew about this, and it was no secret in Yunxiang County twenty years ago. So he said cheerfully: "Because King Liang likes to hunt, the big mountain in the southeast of Yunxiang County has a lot of prey, so King Liang simply built the palace here. It is said that when King Liang started hunting, he would It is ten days and a half months in that mountain. Moreover, this is the territory of King Liang, and that mountain is naturally also King of Liang. Therefore, King Liang does not allow others to hunt there. For this reason, there was a time when the hunters had no for a living."

Yang Haiyan didn't think that this was the reason. King Liang, who built the palace here because of hunting, was very keen on hunting. But also, as a prince, no matter how bad the territory is, no matter how unloved he is, no matter how poor Yunxiang County is, it will not hurt him, and he still has no worries about food and clothing. Therefore, the poor conditions in Yunxiang County will not affect him. How could he care about this? "I see."

The county magistrate Yang continued: "It is said that Liang Wangying died at an early age 20 years ago, leaving no heir, and he went because he was seriously injured while hunting."

Yang Haiyan said: "So that mountain is quite dangerous. Let's go, let's go into the mansion to see."

The group entered the General's Mansion. Although this mansion is large and the construction is quite luxurious, after all, it was built twenty years ago, so the mansion is still quite old. The county magistrate Yang called for repairs, but only the leaking areas were repaired, and more than 90% of the places were left untouched. The county government has no money to move.

So, after they came in, looking at this mansion, it was a mansion with depression.

However, Yang Haiyan liked it very much. She turned to Kun Shi and said, "After lunch, move things into the General's Mansion."

Kun Shi: "Yes."
