"Sister Miaomiao, do you want to eat snacks? There is a candied haws store in front of you. Just wait here and I will buy some for you." Yao Tangtang pulled Liu Miaomiao and stopped under the restaurant.
Asking Liu Miaomiao to wait for him here, Yao Tangtang went to buy candied haws for Liu Miaomiao.
Liu Miaomiao looked at the people coming and going in front of her with confused eyes.
"Sister Miao Miao, here you go, the candied haws of Yizhou tastes pretty good." Yao Tangtang ran back quickly.
Pass a candied haws to Liu Miaomiao.
Liu Miaomiao squeezed out a smile from the corner of her mouth, but in Yao Tangtang's eyes, it was uglier than crying.
"Sister Miao Miao, the matter is over. Once the prince has finished handling the matter, we will return to the capital."
"Sister Miaomiao, you will live with me from now on. No matter who says it, we will not leave the capital." Yao Tangtang comforted Liu Miaomiao.
Liu Miaomiao shook her head.
He looked at the people walking around, then stood on the side of the steps outside the restaurant, looking at Yao Tangtang: "Tangtang, I thought about it all day yesterday, and then I realized that I can't blame anyone for this matter."
"If I want to blame it, it's my own lack of ability and being deceived like a fool."
"Sister Miao Miao, that's not the case. It's because you are too kind that they bully you." Yao Tangtang quickly advised.
Yao Tangtang didn't believe in the theory of victim guilt. It would be too dangerous for Liu Miaomiao to think so.
Liu Miaomiao shook her head: "Yesterday, a woman fell from the sky and rescued me from Zhang Hu. At that time, I was thinking, if I also have such martial arts, would they still dare to bully me?"
"If I had that kind of martial arts and they dared to bully me, I would kill them all one by one."
"The reason why I am so bullied is not only because I am stupid, but also because I have no ability."
"Tangtang, I want to find the woman who saved me, and I want to learn martial arts from her!"
Learn martial arts?
Yao Tangtang was a little confused.
She felt that this was not appropriate.
Moreover, Liu Miaomiao's body was not much stronger than his own. Liu Miaomiao could not persist in martial arts for long.
"Miaomiao, how about..."
"What, if he doesn't come, you still have to visit him personally?" Yao Tangtang was about to persuade Liu Miaomiao.
Unexpectedly, Liu Miaomiao heard this familiar voice.
When I walked to the street, I looked up at the second floor of the restaurant and saw the woman in purple from yesterday.
"Hey, Sister Miaomiao." Before Yao Tangtang understood what was going on, Liu Miaomiao ran to the restaurant.
…
"Prince, all the data has been collected."
"There were 337 officials of ninth rank and above in Yizhou, 236 were found to be subordinate to or associated with the second prince, and 230 were executed. The remaining six were not in Yizhou before, so it is difficult to pursue them.
"
"There are actually thirty-seven shops and shops in Yizhou controlled by the second prince. All of them have been sealed up. There are a total of 3.97 million taels of silver in cash, and the remaining products are equivalent to 15 million taels of silver. A group of people, etc.
All have been executed."
At the Governor's Mansion, Xue Rengui reported the results of the past two days to Chen Changfeng.
After several consecutive days of thunderous attacks, the second prince's business in Yizhou was basically destroyed.
All the people and money under his command were captured.
There are only a few left living outside Yizhou.
Chen Changfeng nodded slightly: "Take out one million taels and distribute it to the soldiers of the Black Armored Guards. Give more to those who come, and give to those who didn't come."
"Another one million taels will be taken as military expenses for the Black Armored Guards. The remaining 1,900,000 taels will be turned over to the national treasury, and the remaining one million taels will be sent to Fengxue Bookstore."
"As for the converted property, let's not arrange it for now. You can go and do it first."
Xue Rengui was slightly stunned.
He had always heard from Chen Qingzhi that Chen Changfeng was particularly concerned about the Black Armored Guards.
The treatment of the black armored guards increased tenfold after Chen Changfeng arrived.
At first he didn't believe it, but now Xue Rengui believes it.
One million taels of silver were distributed directly to the black-armored guards, and another one million taels were given as military expenses.
How many people are there in the Black Armored Guards?
An army of five thousand men and two million taels of silver can no longer be said to be armed to the teeth. Even every hair of your head must be protected for you.
"Yes, Your Highness." Xue Rengui accepted the order and left.
Qisha stood aside and looked at Chen Changfeng in surprise.
"I thought the prince would hand over the remaining 1.9 million taels to the emperor." Qisha said with a smile.
"It hurts me to hand over 900,000 taels. If you hand over all of it, it will be a good thing." Chen Changfeng shook his head.
Paying money to the emperor is a must.
The bloodbath in Yizhou must be explained. If the emperor didn't get a hair, all the benefits would be taken away by Chen Changfeng.
The emperor is willing?
Just give 900,000 taels to the treasury to silence the emperor.
"The prince is not afraid that the second prince will tell the emperor how much he has lost?" Qisha asked again.
"It would be great if he dared to say it." Chen Changfeng shook his head again.
If the emperor knew that the second prince had such wealth just in Yizhou.
In addition to the previous corruption in the Ming Empire, even if the second prince's head was not removed by the emperor, he would be severely kicked by the emperor.
Chen Changfeng hoped that the second prince would tell the emperor about his losses.
Qisha hesitated slightly, but also understood that although Chen Changfeng's visit to Yizhou was somewhat dangerous, fortunately it was all a false alarm.
It also messed up Yizhou, the second prince's fiefdom.
This is a great victory for Chen Changfeng.
Slowly going like this, the second prince will decline sooner or later, but what worries Qisha is still the snare.
"Prince, are you going to meet Senior Brother Zhang Liang from Liusha tomorrow?"
"Junior sister Qi Yue has asked me several times."
"I heard from Junior Sister Qi Yue that Senior Brother Zhang Liang intends to visit in person..."
"Sage, since I took the initiative to visit you, go and tell Miss Qi Yue that I will visit Mr. Zhang Liang tomorrow and ask Mr. Zhang Liang to rest at home." Chen Changfeng waved his hand and said.
Although my previous attitude towards Qi Yue was not very good.
But things have priorities. As the leader of Quicksand, Zhang Liang has expressed his position enough. There is really no need for him to leave people hanging.
only……
Qisha left to inform Qi Yue. Chen Changfeng looked in the direction of the capital, with a flash of uneasiness in his eyes.
…
"Father, if what I say is even half a lie, my father will execute me immediately!" The entrance to the Hei family army camp outside the capital.
The second prince looked at the emperor with a determined look on his face and made an oath in his mouth.
The emperor's eyes darkened slightly, and the second prince told him that nearly two thousand black-armored guards were missing and were not in the black-armored guards' camp.
The Black Armored Guards were the elite of the Ming Dynasty. They originally received direct orders from the emperor. Later, the emperor did not come to the battlefield in person, so they were handed over to the third prince.
Then it fell into the hands of Chen Changfeng.
But no matter whose hands it is, the deployment of more than 200 black-armored guards must be approved by the emperor.
But this time the second prince told the emperor that two thousand black-armored guards were missing.
The emperor himself did not receive any news.
Where did they go?
Who is so worried that he dares to take away 20,000 black-armored guards and leave the capital privately?
What does he want to do?
The emperor originally didn't quite believe what the second prince said, but seeing how determined he was, an unexpected anger arose in his heart.
"Let Chen Qingzhi come out to see me." The emperor rebuked coldly and returned to the imperial chariot.
Soon, Chen Qingyi appeared in front of the emperor in armor.
The moment he saw the second prince, Chen Qingzhi already knew what had happened. He knelt on the ground respectfully and bowed to the royal chariot: "Your Majesty, Chen Qingzhi, greets His Majesty the Emperor."
