Chapter 148: Young Master Linghu, hurry up, leave me alone!
Chen Yao looked stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and when he saw Li Huan looking at him, he couldn't help but hurriedly said to Li Huan: "My lord, this subordinate..."
Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Wealth and silk touch people's hearts. Let alone you, even I am dazzled by seeing so much gold and silver."
As he spoke, Li Huan glanced at Chen Yao and said, "This time you followed me out, but you also suffered. Wait, you will do the statistics and take out 20,000 taels of silver, of which 10,000 taels will be given to the families of the brothers who died. In addition,
Ten thousand taels, it’s up to you to divide it.”
Chen Yao obviously did not expect that Li Huan would reward them with money, although compared to the Qian family's stolen property, ten or twenty thousand taels of silver did not seem to be much.
But that also depends on who it is. The Qian family's family fortune has been accumulated through various robberies and plunders over decades.
In ordinary people's homes, one tael of silver may not be enough for a family of four to spend on daily expenses for a month.
Each of the Jin Yiwei who died in the battle could receive almost a hundred taels of silver. If you add in the money from the imperial court as a pension, it would be quite a lot.
Even if they calculated it, the small ones could get dozens of taels, and the big ones could get a hundred taels. Even their salary for one or two years might not be that much.
Thinking of this, Chen Yao couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he said to Li Huan with a grateful expression: "Thank you, sir. My brothers will definitely miss you."
As he spoke, Chen Yao looked at the gold and silver, glanced at Qian Yi, and said to Li Huan in a low voice: "Sir, do you want your subordinates to send someone to quietly transport these silvers to Langqi Island?"
Li Huan couldn't help but glance at Chen Yao. Seeing Chen Yao's sincere look, Li Huan couldn't help but smile and said, "It would be hard to justify if I don't take some money."
Chen Yao chuckled and said, "It's such a beautiful job as a house raid. If you don't keep a part of it privately, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?"
Chen Yao said with a smile: "Everyone, especially my lord, you can't work in vain. Besides, this is also the unspoken rule of our Jin Yiwei. Even if His Majesty knows about it, he won't say anything."
Li Huan was walking outside. After hearing Chen Yao's words, he couldn't help but pause. He looked back at Chen Yao and said, "So it would be against the rules if I don't take it?"
Chen Yao nodded.
Li Huan smiled and said: "In your opinion, how much should I take?"
Chen Yao perked up and said in a low voice: "According to the rules, sir, you have to get 10% or 20%."
Li Huan raised his brows. He naturally knew that the reason why things like confiscating homes was considered a good job was because he could gain great benefits from it. Even the most sage emperor could not do this. He never thought that he would be so corrupted by Tan Mo.
many.
Looking at Chen Yao, who was looking at him eagerly, Li Huan knew that if he didn't take the money, then those men working below would be uneasy with the money in their hands.
Looking at Chen Yao lightly, Li Huan said with a smile: "In that case, when the amount of confiscation is calculated, you can give me 10% of it."
Li Huan is not the kind of person who can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes. If he was really as honest as water, then he would not have accepted the gold and silver property that Sun Xiang gave him without hesitation.
The big head was sent to the inner treasury and presented to the emperor, and the small head was taken away and distributed among his subordinates. In this way, the rain and dew spread evenly, and everyone was happy.
If he really didn't take any money, not to mention that his subordinates would definitely feel uneasy if they took any money. Besides, no one would believe him if he told him.
Sure enough, when Li Huan said this, Chen Yao immediately showed a smile on his face and said: "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will definitely handle it without leakage."
Qian Yi, who was lying on the ground beside him, couldn't help but said: "Sir, villain..."
Glancing at Qian Yi, Li Huan said calmly: "I'll spare your life for now. I hope you can personally testify against Qian Zhong."
Qian Yi took a deep breath and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
Chen Yao closed all the open boxes in the secret room at an extremely fast speed, and fastened all the locks tightly. Finally, he looked at the huge silver winter melons and couldn't help but frowned. It was really those
Silver winter melon is not easy to cover up at all.
These things will all be shipped out later, and gold and silver items are the most tempting. Who knows if there are people who can't resist the temptation and secretly reach out.
Even if you just take some casually, it is not a small amount. Once discovered, it will be troublesome. After all, Li Huan has already said that he will give some benefits to those people.
Li Huan nodded in agreement. Naturally, they felt at ease after taking it and didn't have to worry about anything bad happening. However, if they took it secretly, the nature would be different.
Chen Yao did not dare to take risks and use these white flowers, golden gold and silver objects to test the Jin Yiwei, and package these gold and silver objects. Even though the Jin Yiwei knew it well, they did not have that kind of intuitive visual impact.
, but you don’t have to worry too much about someone who can’t help but make a mistake.
Looking at Chen Yao's actions, Li Huan nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied with Chen Yao's consideration.
After leaving the secret room, Chen Yaodang informed everyone about Li Huan's order to reward everyone with part of the confiscated silver. He did some calculations and found that everyone got at least dozens of taels. This was no longer a small amount.
, the key is Li Huan’s approval. You can imagine everyone’s joy for taking money so openly.
Chen Yao said to everyone: "Okay, everyone, cheer up quickly, go down and take out everything inside, and then seal the box."
As he spoke, Chen Yao looked serious and said, "I have taken care of your hands and feet. No one is allowed to touch things that shouldn't be touched."
A small flag officer of the Imperial Guard laughed and said: "Your Excellency has rewarded us with so much money, but we will not be foolish enough to touch things we shouldn't touch."
But they said that the young man took Qian Li out of his residence. Under Qian Li's guidance, the two of them chose a remote alley, avoiding the main road, and headed towards Qian's mansion.
With the help of the young man, the two of them were not slow at all.
Qian Li said to the young man: "Young hero, Qian was saved by you this time, but he doesn't even know your name or surname. If he can survive in the future, Qian can burn incense and pray for the young hero every day."
The young man smiled freely and said: "I am ordering Hu Chong, Huashan people, don't call me any young knight or knight, just call me by my name."
Qian Li's eyes lit up and he said: "It turns out to be Young Hero Linghu. The Young Hero is really a chivalrous heart. If it hadn't been for the Young Hero to come to the rescue this time, I'm afraid Qian would have become the target of the swords of the two Jinyi guards."
Already."
Linghu Chong said with a somewhat cynical smile: "My family has taught me that chivalry comes first since I was a child. It would be fine if I didn't bump into them. Now that I bump into them, how can I just sit back and watch the imperial eagle dogs like Jin Yiwei harm people wantonly!"
Qian Li said with a serious face: "Young hero Linghu is so righteous, Qian will never forget his life-saving grace."
Qian Li said with some curiosity: "To be able to teach a master with such a chivalrous heart as the young hero, the revered master must not be an ordinary person, or I don't know how to call the revered master, and who is the saint?"
Linghu Chong smiled and said: "My master is Yue Buqun, the current leader of the Huashan Sect. He is known as the Junzi Sword in the world and is famous as a knight in the world."
Qian Yidang even complimented him: "As Qian guessed, only a gentleman like Master Yue can teach a disciple like Young Master Linghu."
Linghu Chong said with a smile on his face: "By the way, I haven't asked yet, Brother Qian, why did your family provoke the Jin Yiwei people and why they were hunted down by the Jin Yiwei?"
Upon hearing Linghu Chong's question, Qian Yi immediately rolled his eyes and said with a look of resentment on his face: "You're not a damn dog imperial envoy."
When he heard that an imperial envoy from the imperial court was involved, Linghu Chong was not worried or frightened. Instead, he was a little excited and looked at Qian Yi with curiosity.
Qian Yi noticed Linghu Chong's expression and was secretly happy. At the same time, the look of sadness and anger on his face became more intense and he said: "I think my Qian family has lived in Fuzhou for a long time. They usually build bridges and pave roads to benefit the village. Every time there is a disaster, they even open a new building."
Porridge shed, helping the people, my brother is the right-hand governor of Fujian Province, dedicated to the people, he is a well-known good official, but... But since the imperial envoy Li Huan came to Fuzhou, he indiscriminately framed my brother for treason.
Into a great prison.”
When Linghu Chong heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily: "I never thought that a kind family like Xiongtai would be harmed by traitors."
Qian Li covered his face and cried: "I have pity for my son, a simple and kind-hearted scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken. Because he was unhappy with the imperial envoy who framed my brother and framed my brother's innocence, he contacted some people who couldn't stand the imperial envoy's wanton behavior.
Scholars, go and ask for an explanation from the imperial envoy. Who would have thought that the traitor would order the imperial guards to massacre, and hundreds of scholars were massacred..."
Linghu Chong's eyes were wide open, his face was full of shock and disbelief, and he murmured to himself: "Traitor, what a huge traitor, he is so cruel that he can give orders just to beg for an explanation.
Slaughter a bunch of powerless scholars."
Given the status and influence of scholars at that time, even Linghu Chong, who was born in a Jianghu sect, would subconsciously have some respect for scholars.
In Linghu Chong's limited knowledge, all scholars were as gentle and elegant as his master.
Qian Li nodded and said: "Yes, so many pillars of the country, just because they wanted to say a word of justice, angered the traitor Li Huan, and were slaughtered on the spot by Jinyi Health. There were hundreds of innocent people.
Life."
Linghu Chong couldn't help looking at Qian Li sympathetically and said, "Brother Qian, your son..."
Qian Li burst into tears and sobbed: "My son is only sixteen years old. He has been educated and sensible since he was a child. He didn't even dare to kill a chicken, but he was framed as an assassin by the traitor and was killed by the traitor at that time..."
Qian Li staggered as if he was grief-stricken. Linghu Chong quickly supported Qian Li and comforted him: "Brother Qian, please don't be sad. If you fall, who will avenge Master Ling?"
Just as Qian Li was about to speak, Linghu Chong suddenly stopped, with a somewhat solemn look on his face.
"Follow me quickly, don't let the rebel get away."
Then I heard a shout suddenly coming from ahead.
Linghu Chong grabbed Qian Li and hid behind a stone lion. Looking from a distance, he saw several Jinyi guards chasing a big man.
Qian Li glanced at it and couldn't help but said: "Damn Li Huan, he is also a member of Jin Yiwei. I don't know who he has targeted. He is going to kill them all!"
Linghu Chong watched the Jin Yiwei chase the figure of the big man and disappear into the distance. Then he glanced at Qian Li and said, "I heard that the imperial envoy killed many people since he came to Fuzhou."
Qian Li gritted his teeth and said: "Not only did he kill many people, he entered Fuzhou City only two days ago, and there were countless more innocent souls in the sky above Fuzhou City!"
Linghu Chong couldn't help but said angrily: "The traitor deserves to be killed!"
Qian Li glanced at Linghu Chong and sighed softly: "It's a pity that the traitor is surrounded by many Jinyi guards. With the protection of those Jinyi guards, no one dares to kill him, and no one can kill him!"
Linghu Chong took a deep breath, listened for a while and said, "Brother Qian, let's continue on our way before the traitor really sends someone to your house."
After hearing what Linghu Chong said, Qian Li didn't care about anything else. He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, that's what Young Master Linghu reminded me."
Under Qian Li's guidance, the two of them soon arrived in a secluded alley near Qian's Mansion and looked towards the gate of Qian's Mansion from a distance.
When he saw the team of royal guards in front of the Qian Mansion, Qian Li couldn't help but his face changed drastically, and he almost fell to the ground.
Linghu Chong quickly supported Qian Li and looked over. At first glance, Linghu Chong's face changed color slightly. When he looked at Qian Li's pale face, he couldn't help but consoled him: "Brother Qian, it seems we are a step too late.
"
Qian Li took a deep breath, tried hard to calm down, and smiled sadly at Linghu Chong: "Young Master Linghu, Qian has thanked you here. Qian's relatives are all in the house. Once they fall into Li Huan's hands, something will happen to them."
It is better to die, and Qian does not want to live alone. I am afraid that Qian will not be able to repay Young Master Linghu's life-saving grace until his next life."
Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Brother Qian, you..."
Qian Li shook his head slightly and said: "Young Master Linghu, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Even if Qian dies, he will die with his family."
As he spoke, Qian Li sighed: "Besides, Qian's identity is sensitive now, and the traitor must have ordered me to be listed as a wanted criminal. Once discovered by the Jin Yiwei, it will definitely bring trouble to Master and Disciple Linghu."
Big trouble..."
Linghu Chong didn't expect Qian Li to be so strong-willed. He would rather die with his family than live alone. When he heard about Qian Li, he was afraid that his master and disciple would be implicated.
Linghu Chong immediately shook his head and said, "Brother Qian, what are you talking about? How can Linghu Chong sit back and watch you die?"
Qian looked at Linghu Chong and smiled bitterly: "I am now a wanted criminal by the court. It will inevitably bring trouble to the young hero, so the young hero should just let me go."
Linghu Chong immediately said: "We, the Huashan Sect, are not afraid of trouble. I really want to take care of this matter today."
As he spoke, he sealed Qian Li's acupuncture point with one finger and said: "Brother Qian may have done something stupid. Please forgive me for being rude. I sealed Brother Qian's acupoint first. I will go to Qian Mansion to find out the news first, and then I will discuss the next step with Brother Qian."
How to do."
Although Qian Li could not move, it did not prevent him from speaking. He immediately said with tears in his eyes: "Young Master Linghu..."
Linghu Chong smiled and said: "There is no need to say anything, even if the master is here, he will definitely support me."
Linghu Chong looked around and found a remote place to place Qian Li. After a few ups and downs, he quietly sneaked towards Qian's Mansion.
In the spacious courtyard of the Qian Mansion, a group of Qian family members now knew what kind of fate they were about to face. Their original status was so lofty, but they never expected to fall into the clouds. Many people cried faintly.
passed.
Boxes after boxes of gold and silver property were sealed and carried out. Especially when the gold and silver items unearthed from the secret room were carried out, there was already a pile of confiscated property in the yard.
.
Li Huan was currently sitting on the Grand Master's chair, holding a tea cup and sipping tea with a calm expression.
On the high wall not far away, a head suddenly popped out, glanced towards the middle of Qian's Mansion, and then hid under the eaves of a roof. Who else could it be if it wasn't Linghu Chong?
Linghu Chong hid under the eaves, covering his body, and then carefully looked at the situation in the courtyard of Qian's Mansion not far away.
At a glance, the first thing Linghu Chong saw was the weak and miserable female relatives.
A guard in Jinyi seemed to be upset by the cries of these female family members. He immediately pulled out half of the blade and shouted with a fierce expression: "Shut up now, you are disturbing the purity of the adults. Watch your heads."
Obviously, the Jin Yiwei wanted to scare these women and shut them up. He didn't really want to do anything to them. It was just the crying of these women that was too upsetting.
It must be said that the intimidation effect of this Jin Yiwei was quite good, but after being so frightened, several women who cried and cried for a full cup of tea immediately closed their mouths and did not dare to make any more noise.
Linghu Chong, who was hiding in the distance and saw this scene, couldn't help but look cold when he saw the Jinyi Guardsman drawing his sword to threaten the relatives of the Qian Mansion.
After taking a careful look at the female relatives, I made sure that the female relatives had not been bullied in any way, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Linghu Chong turned his attention to Li Huan, who was sitting on the Taishi chair in the courtyard.
Linghu Chong had never seen Li Huan before. When he saw Li Huan for the first time, he couldn't help but be stunned. Li Huan was really too young, he looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.
Li Huan's appearance is not bad. After practicing the magical skills of the Thirteen Taibao Heng and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, his figure has become a lot stronger, but it has just made up for his original weak character, so Li Huan looks at it
He looks like a talented young man with both civil and military skills.
"This... this can't be the traitor Li Huan who framed Zhongliang and killed many people as Brother Qian said!"
At this moment, a royal guard came over with a copy of the confiscated property book that had just been counted. He saluted Li Huan and said, "Sir, all the confiscated property has been counted. Please take a look at it."
Li Huan took the book and flipped through it, his eyes flashing, and in a short time he wrote down all the properties counted in the book.
Li Huan obviously noticed that the gold and silver items that were taken out of the secret room did not have a specific amount of silver, but were calculated in boxes.
Seeing this, Li Huan couldn't help but smile. These Jin Yiwei were all veterans of confiscating homes and would obviously not make such an obvious mistake.
After all, when it is finally presented to the emperor or the Ministry of Revenue, the gold and silver involved, even if it is one tael or one cent, must be written clearly. It is impossible to use a box or a bunch of inaccurate words.
to describe.
This was obviously the initial bill for confiscating the house, allowing him to manipulate it. Just like the box of gold and silver, even the person who handled the confiscation didn't know how much it was. The final amount was not his business.
With a thought in his heart, Li Huan waved to Chen Yao and said: "Chen Yao, tell the people in other families who are responsible for counting the house seizure bills that all gold and silver property must be counted clearly."
It was impossible to completely prevent someone from seeking benefits during the process of confiscating a house, and Li Huan had never thought about this. As the saying goes, there will be no fish if the water is clear. The reason why he repeatedly warned and beat was simply because he did not want some people to reach too far.
If it was just a matter of plucking a goose's feathers, he would just turn a blind eye and pass by. But if someone really did it, he would have said it first, and then it would be murder, and no one could say anything.
You can't just ransack the houses all at once, as all the final benefits will fall into the hands of those responsible for the raids.
Chen Yao responded and immediately summoned several Jinyi guards and asked them to convey Li Huan's order.
At this time, Li Huan stood up and said: "I ordered people to confiscate the confiscated property and transport it to the government office!"
Chen Yao responded, his eyes fell on those Qian family members and said: "Sir, what should we do with these people!"
Linghu Chong, who was in the distance, could hear clearly. He couldn't help but feel nervous and stared at Li Huan. He had heard from Qian Yi that Li Huan was ruthless and ruthless in killing people.
Linghu Chong was really worried that Li Huan would order the killing of these members of the Qian family.
Li Huan glanced at those people lightly and said, "Let's imprison him in the mansion first and wait for his release."
It's not that they don't want to put these people in jail, but the fact is that the government jail is already full now. In order to make room for it, ruffians who are not very harmful but are frequent visitors to the jail are being detained.
They were all let out.
Hearing what Li Huan said, Linghu Chong breathed a sigh of relief. But at this moment, Li Huan felt something. He suddenly raised his head and looked towards where Linghu Chong was hiding. At the same time, he flicked his long sleeves and looked at the table beside him.
The tea cup immediately flew out and shot towards Linghu Chong's hiding place.
When Li Huan made a move, Chen Yao and other Jin Yiwei immediately reacted and almost immediately looked in the direction where the tea cup flew out.
Linghu Chong didn't expect that because he was too worried about these relatives of the Qian family just now, his breathing became faster, and Li Huan would notice his whereabouts.
Seeing the tea cup shooting towards him, Linghu Chong's expression changed. He almost instinctively turned over and jumped down. Hearing a bang, the tea cup hit the eaves hard, and pieces of bricks and tiles flew off on the spot.
A muffled groan was heard, and a piece of gravel about the size of a fist hit Linghu Chong's shoulder directly as he turned over and ran away. Linghu Chong staggered, and the sudden and severe pain made Linghu Chong almost scream in agony.
.
"How could this traitor be so strong!"
Li Huan showed amazing strength with just one move. In Linghu Chong's view, the power contained in Li Huan's casual attack was probably even inferior to that of his master. He could clearly feel that the shoulder area was seriously injured, and Linghu Chong was shocked.
I didn't dare to stop, so I started to use Qinggong and body skills, turned around and threw myself into a courtyard.
When Chen Yao saw this, he roared: "Chase!"
The Jin Yiwei who had just reacted were about to give chase, but Li Huan glanced at the direction in which Linghu Chong was escaping, and was about to get up to catch up. Suddenly he frowned, paused in his steps, shook his head slightly at the Jin Yiwei and said, "This person
His kung fu is not weak, even if he catches up, you are probably no match for him, so just let him go."
Chen Yao couldn't help but said: "But sir, I don't know whether this person is an enemy or a friend. If he is an enemy..."
Li Huan said calmly: "I didn't feel any killing intent just now. I didn't expect it to be an enemy. But if it is really an enemy, he will definitely show up again. Let's see if he can escape next time."
As he spoke, Li Huan glanced at the relatives of the Qian family, his eyes fell on Chen Yao and said: "Besides, that man is alone, so he may not want to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Chen Yao looked solemn. He was a little curious just now as to why Li Huan didn't catch up with him personally. He thought that Li Huan was concerned about his identity. As a high-ranking imperial envoy, he couldn't chase a thief all over the street in person. Now after hearing what Li Huan said,
He finally understood. It turned out that Li Huan was afraid of falling into the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Look at the piles of belongings all over the yard, and look at the relatives of the Qian family. If Li Huan was lured away, he would be guarding here with some guards in royal robes, and some of them would come here randomly, such as Meng Hui, Du Guang and the others.
I'm afraid they won't be able to kill the average expert.
If that were the case, even if Li Huan caught up with the other party and killed him, in the end they were killed in the Qian Mansion, rescued the relatives of the Qian Mansion, and robbed the confiscated property, that would be a joke.
Already.
Although this possibility is unlikely, don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unlikely event.
That is to say, Li Huan was overthinking, otherwise, if he really took action, Linghu Chong really wouldn't be able to escape. But it's no wonder that Li Huan, since Cai Wen sent people to burn down the Green Bamboo Garden due to an oversight last time, Li Huan acted accordingly.
He became more and more cautious.
But Linghu Chong
At this time, Linghu Chong was hiding in a secluded corner. The severe pain in his shoulder caused cold sweat to cover his forehead. He gritted his teeth and did not dare to make a sound.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Linghu Chong covered his shoulders with one hand and carefully walked out of the hiding place. He looked around to make sure that no Jin Yiwei was chasing him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking in the direction of Qian's Mansion, Linghu Chong's eyes flashed with fear, then he confirmed the direction, and his figure rose and fell before disappearing into the dim night.
When Linghu Chong appeared at the place where Qian Li was staying, Qian Li couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Linghu Chong appear. He was really afraid that Linghu Chong would never come back.
After all, although this place is secluded, it does not mean that no one will pass by. If someone discovers him, who knows if he will be handed over to the government. If so, he will be dead.
Seeing Linghu Chong coming back, Qian Li was about to speak. Suddenly he saw the beads of sweat on Linghu Chong's forehead and the hands covering his shoulders. His expression changed slightly and he said: "Young Master Linghu, you... what are you doing?
What's wrong?"
When he saw Linghu Chong's swollen shoulders clearly, Qian Li couldn't help but said with a look of hatred: "Young Master Linghu's kung fu is so high, no ordinary person can be his opponent, I'm afraid there is no one who can hold down the young hero's head.
There is only the traitor Li Huan, could it be that the traitor hurt the young hero?"
Qian Li said with a look of guilt and self-blame: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, how could the young hero have been noticed by the traitor, let alone hurt..."
Linghu Chong took a deep breath and said to Qian Li: "Brother Qian, please don't say that. I was only injured because the traitor was too vigilant. I just peeked at him from a distance and was noticed by him somehow. Fortunately, he
I don’t know if I have any scruples in not catching up, otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back.”
At this moment, when Linghu Chong thought of the scene where Li Huan seriously injured him with a casual blow, he still couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart, but even so, if he was asked to choose again, he would still make the same choice.
Qian Li's expression changed, he glanced at Linghu Chong and said solemnly: "Young Master Linghu, please leave quickly and don't worry about me. You must not be harmed by me, Young Master."
