Chapter 44 Feudal fiefs

“How is it different?”

Duan Canghai said: "Although everyone in the Xuri Escort Agency was dead, the escort car was still there, but the goods in the car disappeared and nothing was left behind."

"The goods flew away?" Yang Ning frowned and said softly: "This is strange. If you want to rob the goods and pull the car away directly, why would you still leave the escort car? Could it be that you should exchange the goods to their own cars?" Shaking his head, "If you want to rob the escort, you will naturally fight quickly. The faster the better. It takes a lot of time to re-carry the goods. Are those robbers' minds getting water?"

"Oh, prince, what does it mean to get water in your brain?" Duan Canghai felt that this sentence was very fresh and immediately asked for advice humbly.

Yang Ning glanced at him and said, "The brain is full of brain matter. After water is in, the brain matter and water will get muddy. After soaking for a long time, you will lose your brain. Don't you understand this?"

Duan Canghai praised in his heart, thinking that the metaphor of the prince is really novel and interesting, but there is something strange in his heart. He thought that the prince's mind was not smart before, but this time it was a sharp point and he could instantly find the key points. This brain is much easier to use than ordinary people.

Since the prince returned to the mansion, it has been very different from before. I wondered if it was because the prince was kidnapped once and was stimulated, but instead made the prince smarter? If this is true, it would be a blessing in disguise, and bad things turned into good things. In the dark, perhaps it was Marquis of Jinyi and the ancestors of the Qi family who were blessing the prince.

"The prince is right, this is the problem." Duan Canghai said: "The escort car is still there, but the goods have all flew. This is really strange." He said: "Qi Feng heard people's discussions, and many people are still suspecting that the two escort teams were robbed by the same group, but I think it should be impossible."

Yang Ning nodded and said, "The methods of committing crimes are different. Moreover, once one of these major cases is done, the thought of hiding them immediately and rarely thinking about continuing to do the second one." However, he thought in his mind that the Sihai Escort Agency was killed but his life was not good. The group of Feichan Secret Nervous did not really want to rob the escort. After that, the escort car disappeared. Naturally, Feichan Secret Nervous was just dealt with after the treatment. They were going to chase Xiao Guang, so it was impossible for them to find trouble for the Xuri Escort Agency.

I remember when I left, the elder in the gray robe was still fighting with Fei Chan, but I didn’t know whether it was death or life.

Duan Canghai gave a thumbs up, "The prince hit the nail on the head." Then he said, "It's really strange now. So many people have died. Although these two escort agencies are strong, they will also have a heavy bleeding this time."

Yang Ning thought of the words "the goods flew", and the light flashed in his mind and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Of course, it is irrelevant to rob the cart, which is of course irrational. In Yang Ning's view, there are only two possibilities. Either the robbers are worried that someone would be chased by someone to drive the robbery, so they shun the cart, and the premise is that the goods are easily transported and will not be delayed for too long.

However, even if you change the car, a little smarter robber will never delay the scene of the incident. You will definitely pull the escort car away from the scene before changing the car.

In addition to this possibility, there is another possibility, that is, as Duan Canghai said, the goods can fly by themselves.

If it is just ordinary goods, of course there is no possibility, but if the goods are alive, of course you can walk around by yourself.

Thinking of this, Yang Ning's body shook slightly.

If this is true, then the Rising Escort Agency is likely to be the escort agency that contacted Xiao Yishui, and Xiaodie was taken away by the Rising Escort Agency from outside Huize City.

Then the cargo will be possible when it flies away.

Yang Ning's heart was beating very hard. He hoped that his judgment was not wrong. In this way, Xiaodie and the others were likely not sent to the capital, but had already escaped halfway.

He was both happy and worried. If someone killed the escort agency halfway and rescued Xiaodie and the girls, it would be the best result. But if it was just black and eaten by black, Xiaodie had just left the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den, then the situation was still extremely dangerous, and it would be better to be taken to the capital by the escort agency.

The escort agency brought Xiaodie to the capital. With the help of the Marquis's power, he secretly inquired, and it may not be impossible to find Xiaodie's whereabouts. After all, the escort agency in the short time has been found, and it should not be too difficult to check Xiaodie in detail.

But if Xiaodie falls into the hands of another group of people and wants to find it, it will be really not easy.

"Criminal Master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Yang Ning's expression gloomy and strange expression, Duan Canghai naturally didn't know what Yang Ning was thinking and became worried.

Yang Ning came to his senses and said, "It's okay, I just want to see if anyone else comes here today."

Duan Canghai said: "The days we should come have come. If someone comes, they will only come from other places. When the general is in funeral, there will be more people."

Yang Ning nodded and asked, "Where has Mr. Qiu gone? I haven't seen anyone for a long time. By the way, has he borrowed money?"

"It is not difficult to borrow thousands of taels of silver from the bank using pawnshop as collateral."

Yang Ning said "Oh", "Do you borrowed silver from the money house? Uncle Duan Er, you said that our Marquis' Mansion is so big, it is a wealthy family in Da Chu. Why can't even use the money to use the pawnshop as a mortgage to borrow money? "Even if you don't keep it together for a while, you don't need to use a pawnshop as a mortgage to borrow money?"

Duan Canghai said: "I don't know much about these things, but the rules of the money house are that even one tael of silver must be mortgaged, not to mention thousands of taels of silver."

"Don't our Marquis' Mansion know rich people?" Yang Ning said: "The capital is the most prosperous place, with so many princes and nobles. We... we know some people at least, right?"

Duan Canghai shook his head and said, "There are naturally many people in the capital who have friendship with our Marquis' Mansion, but the old Marquis has set rules and must not have any money dealings with any official."

"Ah?" Yang Ningqi said: "There are still such rules?"

"The prince didn't care about these things before, so he didn't know." Duan Canghai said seriously: "The old marquis is an upright person. Even if he is awarded a title, he is honest and honest. According to the old marquis's statement back then, if he has money dealing with anyone, he will have a relationship of interest, and it will be inconvenient to do things. When the general was alive, he strictly abides by the rules set by the old marquis and does not have money dealing with the princes and nobles."

Yang Ning sighed: "In this way, even if someone gives away silver for the Marquis' Mansion, he can't take it?"

"That's natural." Duan Canghai said solemnly: "Not only that, the general fought on the front line, but the court rewarded him, and the general also rewarded him all the soldiers, never leaving a penny." He also said: "But the general is a marquis of thousands of households. Since the old marquis, he has given him three thousand households and hundreds of hectares of fertile land, so he can still have food and clothing on weekdays."

"Damn it!" Yang Ning couldn't help but lose his fortune, "Three thousand households and hundreds of hectares of fertile land can only be free from food and clothing? Uncle Duan Er, what are you kidding?"

He had seen the Marquis' Mansion of Jinyi worry about thousands of taels of silver before, and he was confused and thought that the Marquis' Mansion was really poor. Only then did he realize that the Marquis' Mansion's source of income was really good.

Three thousand households have a fiefdom, and the annual income is definitely not high. In addition to hundreds of hectares of fertile land, although there are hundreds of people in the Marquis' Mansion, it is easy to support these people.

"No joke." Duan Canghai knew that the prince knew nothing about money and explained patiently: "Although our Marquis' Mansion has a lot of investment, the expenses are also huge."

"Fill?" Yang Ning said: "I can't see what expenses can be used to spend all that much money."

Duan Canghai smiled bitterly and said, "The prince doesn't know anything. There are three thousand households and hundreds of hectares of fertile land. It sounds like a lot, but those who enter the marquis' mansion are very small."

"What does this mean?" Yang Ning frowned and said, "Is there anyone else who snatches the silver with his sword?"

"That's not." Duan Canghai lowered his voice: "The fief of the Marquis' Mansion is in Jiangling, which is the ancestral land of the Qi family. The old marquis came out of Jiangling. The fief is in his hometown. The old marquis collects very few taxes every year, so this item of income is far from comparable to other kings and princes. Moreover, the tax on the fief was set by the old marquis when he was alive, and the income of five hundred households was given to the third old master's house."

Yang Ning suddenly realized this time. No wonder Gu Qinghan and General Manager Qiu mentioned Jiangling's money, which turned out to be the income from the fief.

But he didn't expect that the three thousand households had a fiefdom and five hundred households were transferred to the third old master's house. It turned out that the third old master's house was actually supported by the Marquis's house.

"Even so, the money cannot be insufficient, right?"

Duan Canghai whispered: "The old marquis and generals are kind and kind people who value love and righteousness. They fight on the battlefield and treat their soldiers like brothers and sisters. The soldiers were killed on the front line, and the court has never had too much pension. The orphans and widows left behind are naturally miserable. When the old marquis was alive, they set a precedent. Many soldiers who followed him to die on the battlefield were too poor, leaving the old and the weak and difficult to live. The marquis's mansion allocates money every year. Although not too much, they can always make them survive. The general also inherited the old marquis' method. You can calculate the prince yourself. In this way, how many items can the marquis' mansion have?"

Yang Ning was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there would be such an incident.

There are quite a few soldiers who followed Jinyi Hou to fight on the battlefield. Even if only a small number of them need help, it is a huge expense for the Hou Mansion.

"That... the Huai River Battle has been fighting for so three years, and countless casualties are killed or injured. The people who have died in the past few years have not been included yet, right?" Yang Ning said: "I will not have to help these people's families in the future, right?"

"If that were the case, it would not be enough to have three thousand households." Duan Canghai shook his head and said, "And if there were too many people, our Marquis' Mansion would help one by one. I am afraid that some people would say that our Marquis' Mansion would win people's hearts, but it would be a good idea. There were not many people who helped before, and some people in the court had already said that the general was behind the scenes. Fortunately, the emperor trusted the general and knew that the old Marquis valued friendship, so he turned a blind eye." He lowered his voice, "This time the general passed away, there was no order in the palace, and I am afraid that no one would think of the families of the soldiers who died in battle."

Only then did Yang Ning understand why the Marquis's Mansion had a good income, but the mansion was short of money, and it turned out that this was the case in the middle.

However, it can be seen from this that the two generations of Jinyi Hou were deeply loved by the people, and it was not accidental that the soldiers were willing to live and die with them.

At this moment, I heard a voice from outside: "The Marquis of Wuxiang is here to worship!"

In the voice, General Manager Qiu suddenly appeared, hurried to Yang Ning, and whispered: "Criminal, the Marquis of Wuxiang has arrived. This is his second time here, I'm afraid it's just to see you."

"Look at me?" Yang Ning frowned and said, "What do I have to look at?"
