Yang Hanyu rolled his eyes and said again;

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang. I just want to keep more cash. I will give you the banknotes in exchange for some silver. This is 400,000 taels of banknotes. You can count them."

"Okay, okay."

Manager Wang also agreed wholeheartedly, as long as it is money, it doesn't matter whether it is silver or banknotes. Besides, it is easier to travel without cash. If it happens again on the way, I will definitely run away.

Yang Hanyu happily handed the silver note to the prince, and then carefully read the sales contract, loan and repayment documents, and the title deed of the corresponding property. After verifying that they were correct, he signed his name and stamped the seal of the Marquis Mansion.

Wang Gonggong took the banknote and counted it. Just in time, he took the sales contract and repayment document signed by Yang Hanyu to look at it. Yes, he also added the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he nodded and said;

"Alright madam, I will arrange for someone to unload the car. You can show them where to put it. There are also two copies of the contract and the repayment document. You should keep these two copies. The loan document is except for the one kept by the Ministry of Accounts.

I've already given you my share. Once we finish moving the 32 boxes of silver and we clear the money and goods, I won't bother you anymore. I have a lot to do today and I have to go back quickly."

"Ah, ok, ok, lord, I'll go right away."

Yang Hanyu took the maids and palace maids and went out to direct the people of the Imperial City Division to move the silver to the warehouse in his yard. He also ordered Huo'er to give each of the escorts 3 taels of hard-earned money. Of course, he also gave it to Manager Wang and Ma

One thousand taels of silver notes were given to each person in the family, and the two of them looked at the building and smiled.

After the matter was done, Wang Gonggong and Ma Qianhu led the convoy out of the Hou Mansion and went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After Yang Hanyu saw that everyone had left, he hurriedly took Huo'er and Ming'er to the warehouse, and a box

After checking the box, I saw that the white official silver was dazzling after being opened. I looked carefully and saw that it was the same size and of high quality. It was indeed official silver.

After checking it, I closed the box with satisfaction, took the two girls out of the warehouse, locked it with three locks, and then returned to the main house with peace of mind. I was thinking about when to go check out the property I bought, but it didn't work.

, I have to wait a few days, no one will use it.

He also told the two girls to be careful with the money. This belongs to the Lord and will be handed over to the Marquis in its entirety when the time comes. I really think I am stupid!

This money is kept by me for my husband Zhang Jinyu. As for those properties that must be bought, it would be foolish not to take advantage of them. Besides, if the Hou Mansion has no income and everything is empty, everything will be in trouble in the capital. I believe the Marquis will be able to do it when he comes back.

Understood.

Beijing,

Xiangyang Houfu.

The two brothers prepared the silver taels early, loaded 5 carriages, 20 boxes with 10,000 taels of silver each, and carried 1.8 million taels of silver notes with them. They waited for the follower to receive a letter, and then went directly to the Ministry of Accounts to return the money.

.

But after waiting and waiting, no one came back to report the news, so Third Master Bai Shaofeng said anxiously;

"Brother, send someone to see what's going on. It's been so long and there's no movement at all,"

"Calm down, well, you can send someone to take a look again."

The third son sent someone to see what was going on with the people being watched in the Hou Mansion. After a while, the people he sent came back, and the servants ran in and replied;

"Master Hou, Third Master, I went to Luoyun Marquis Mansion to question the people who were following me. Is it true that no one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came?"

"You should look carefully."

"Go back to Third Master, our people haven't left there, they've been watching."

"Wait a minute, brother, what should I do about this?"

"Go again, you, work hard again, go from Luoyunhou Mansion to Da Nei Road in the opposite direction, and come back when you see the convoy."

"Yes, Mr. Hou, the young one will go right away."

After saying that, the concierge quickly went out again, and when he arrived at the Hou Mansion, he walked west. However, before running far, he saw a large number of people running away from the street in front as if they were fleeing. It seemed that they were avoiding something, and they were shouting.

"Run quickly, we're killing people."

The concierge was also shocked. Killing people in the capital in broad daylight was so daring. In order to see what was going on, he secretly lurked over and took a look. It didn't matter. He was shocked. There was no one in front of him.

Is this the news about the convoy that the Marquis is waiting for? Why are people all over the place dead? It seems that the people in the government are dying. Oh my God, something big has happened.

When the concierge saw him, he hurriedly ran back to the house through the alley, and shouted as soon as he arrived at the Marquis' house;

"Close the door quickly, there are rebels outside."

After hearing this, the guards of the Marquis of Xiangyang were so frightened that they closed the door tightly, and called many boys and clerks to guard there with hoes and sticks. The concierge himself ran quickly to the study, and shouted as soon as he entered the door;

"Master Hou, something big has happened, something big has happened."

This loud roar startled the two brothers, and the third child opened his mouth and said;

"You little melon, why are you yelling? What big trouble could happen?"

"Master Marquis, Third Master, the convoy you mentioned is coming. It's not far from the residence of Luoyun Marquis Zhang Jinyu. It's only six or seven streets away."

The concierge took a deep breath when he said this.

"Brother, look, this is not coming."

"No. Third Master, haven't you finished speaking yet?"

"You boy!"

"Third brother, don't speak, and don't rush and speak slowly."

"It's the Marquis. The younger one saw the convoy, but it was being besieged. Most of the people in the court were dead. There were corpses and blood all over the ground. Everyone on the street ran away. The younger one ran back from the alley after seeing it.

I don’t know what’s going on now.”

"Ah, it's true, you can see clearly, this is not a joke."

"Go back to Third Master, how dare you, young man? If you don't believe me, send someone to check now."

The concierge replied aggrievedly.

"Okay, Third Brother, it should be fine. We have been waiting for so long, and either he didn't come, or he was delayed by something. It seems like something happened, but who did it?"

"Brother, what should we do?"

Hou Baiguangju of Xiangyang smiled mysteriously.

The third child, Bai Shaofeng, became even more anxious when he saw that his eldest brother did not answer, but just smiled.

"My eldest brother, you are still smiling at this time, do you still want to go?"

"You said to calm down, the third brother gave him a reward, go down and rest, you did a good job."

Bai Guangju didn't answer but asked the third child to reward him. Only then did the third child realize that there were outsiders, so he took out ten taels of silver ingots from his arms and threw them over.

"I'll reward you for a job well done."

The concierge took the money and thanked him with a smile,

"Thank you Mr. Marquis and Third Master for the reward. The little one is leaving."

The third child came over and asked softly after seeing the concierge walking out of the study;

"Brother, I'm gone, but you still have to pay back the money?"

"It's natural."

"No way, it's like this on the street. Maybe all the imperial soldiers who were transported are dead."

The third child stared at his eldest brother with wide eyes. He was probably frightened, but the eldest brother did not raise his head. He was still writing a word with his expression unchanged.

"That's why I have to go."

"Brother, please clarify."

"I ask you, if this money is not robbed, what do you think the Ministry of Internal Affairs will do next?"

Hou Baiguangju of Xiangyang asked his younger brother in return. The third brother was speechless for a moment. What should he do if this question comes to him?

"Well, brother, I feel like I have to either go back or continue to the Hou Mansion, but I think that if such a big thing happened in the capital, I should go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and investigate the matter thoroughly before sending money again."

Bai Guangju shook his head after hearing this;

"Contrary to you, I will continue to send money."

"No way. What if you die and the money is robbed? Is it possible that if you go back again and bring the money back, the Ministry of Finance will definitely not agree."

"Well, that's right. The Ministry of Accounts will never pay for it. The money should be paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or we should pay for it. In that case, it's even more necessary."

The third child was confused for a moment. What does it mean? Why didn’t he understand?

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"Literally, they are all waiting for the money from our Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, or they are waiting for my reaction."

Only then did the third child realize that it was arranged that the Prime Minister should tell him what happened when he was there. This was too bad.

"I got it, brother, so I told you."

"Well, there's still hope, I'm making progress."

After Bai Guangju finished speaking, he just finished writing a painting and nodded with satisfaction. This painting of "Both Virtue and Talent" is still so majestic and majestic.

"Lao San, I give you this calligraphy. If you have virtue, you must also have talent. Only with virtue can you have talent, and then you can have more wealth."

"I know, brother, I will be careful in the future. So when will we set off and what will happen to the safety of the convoy?"

"This is the capital. Reinforcements will arrive in two-quarters of an hour. As long as the robbers are not stupid, they will run away early. Moreover, this period of time is the safest. If they rob the government, you dare to spend it. The people behind them are not stupid.

"

"Yes, the Imperial City Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has suffered such a big loss, and now it is difficult to overthrow the capital. Brother, what if this person is a fool?"

Bai Guangju was also stunned. What Lao San said was not unreasonable. This person who robbed officials of money in the capital was from the Imperial Household Affairs Office. He was either a fool or he had decent strength and had a careful arrangement. It seemed that a fool couldn't do it so carefully.

arrangement.
