Chapter 331: Injury

The information sent by He Hua finally arrived in the capital.

He Ran narrowed her eyes when she saw the information.

He Ran knew the evil hobby of the new emperor. After Yuan Xiaodong and Zeng Fu entered Beijing, He Ran also asked in detail that he had been cautious after confirming that the new emperor had moved the capital and did not do such a thing that was harmful to the world.

Of course, not doing it again does not mean that he has stopped since then.

But in this situation, even if he has ascended the throne and become emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants.

He Ran gave him five years of time.

The new emperor was able to sit on that chair for five years, not to mention looking at the world, but to be firmly in his small court.

Once you calm down, you will have various desires.

Women like flowers, plants, clothes and jewelry, men.

But this time, He Ran had to admit that she underestimated the new emperor.

It was far less than five years since he took advantage of his internal and external troubles to get back on his old days.

He Ran could send someone to tell the new emperor's evil deeds to the world, but it could not cause any storm or waves, and could not shake his foundation. As for the whispers between court officials and the whispers in the streets and alleys, there would be silent in less than three days. .

But those families who have lost their girls will disappear from now on, and their lives and deaths are uncertain.

Xiu Gu saved four children and four families, but what about those before this?

After those girls were ravaged, even if they were not dead at that time, those who did the New Emperor would not leave their lives.

Once these sins are revealed, in order to cover up their crimes, the first thing that comes to mind is to let the families of these girls disappear in this world.

Who said someone lost their child?

Where is it?

At the fourth update, He Ran woke up. She put on her clothes and got out of bed and walked to the window.

When I opened the window, the cold wind blew over me, and the winter in the capital could not wait to come.

He Ran looked at the sky in the dark night. There were no stars in the cold night, only a faint waning moon.

He Ran stood in front of the window, with only one word in her mind.

money!

Yes, she is short of money now, very short of money. With money, she can support more troops and build more sophisticated weapons. With money, she can cross the river and take straight to Jinling!

The next morning, He Ran did not go to Wenxian Palace, but went directly to the Ministry of Revenue.

Lao Guanghuai heard that she was coming and greeted her. Before he could reach the door, He Ran walked in with a greasy paper bag in his hand: "Grandpa, Hu Ji's door nail meat pie, I remember your love Take this bite.”

Lao Guanghuai felt warm in his heart. When he was still in the capital, he once bought a meat pie from the door. When he came back, he told him that he saw Miss He while queuing up. Miss He gave him a gift. red.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, He Ran still remembers his preferences.

"Okay, okay, I just didn't eat enough for breakfast."

He Ran did not deliberately conceal her relationship with Lao Guanghuai. Just after Lao Guanghuai landed in the Ministry of Revenue, the people in the Ministry of Revenue already knew who Lao Guanghuai was.

What a good guy, He Dadang's grandfather, and he is also the only relative appointed by He Dadang's family so far.

Moreover, this person is her elder.

However, Lao Guanghuai's previous resume was neat and beautiful. He was the prefect of Yangzhou and the Minister of Rites. Even if he did not have the relationship with He Ran, he could still be competent for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue based on his resume.

However, after Lao Guanghuai presided over the Ministry of Revenue, He Ran never treated him specially. Lao Guanghuai worked diligently. Therefore, over time, the people from the Ministry of Revenue almost forgot that Lao Guanghuai was a Ministry of Revenue. Official, he is also the grandfather of He Dazhen's family.

It was not until now that everyone heard the answers between the grandparents and grandchildren that they suddenly remembered, why did they forget that Lord Lao had an amazing granddaughter.

Some people have been silently reflecting on themselves in their hearts, whether they have been rude to others these days.

But more people's hearts were hanging, and they would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. The boss came here early in the morning, and the Ministry of Revenue was in trouble.

The same is true. When He Ran left, Lao Guanghuai looked at the unfinished meat pie on the table and shook his head with a smile.

This is the most expensive door nail meatloaf he has ever eaten.

In the next few years, he would have to raise money. The more He Ran fought, the bigger the gap in using money would be.

Two days later, Lao Guanghuai got a document from He Ran. With this document, the Ministry of Revenue sent people to various places to investigate the property of officials going south.

In fact, over the past few years, He Ran, the generals, and the Jinyiwei have confiscated many private property of officials going south, but what they confiscated were those that were on the surface, and anyone who has been an official knows it. , these are just a small part of them.

For example, a high-ranking official opened a restaurant, but the owner of the restaurant was neither the official himself nor his wife and children, but his slave.

Almost every senior official has several such slaves who have rich property in their homes.

They hold the contract of a slave to sell their bodies, and no matter how much assets they have placed in the slave’s name, they don’t have to worry about betrayal.

There are also some businesses that have invested in, which is even more difficult to check.

What the Ministry of Revenue is now looking for is this simplest industry that puts assets under the name of slaves or relatives.

This is a big project, but the results are significant.

In the first month alone, the Ministry of Revenue found fifty-six such private properties, including luxury houses, shops, and even brothels, Chuguan and gambling house.

Last time, Feng Zan confiscated fifty-nine private property in Liushanhe, and this time, Lao Guanghuai turned his attention to the second-ranked figure next to the new emperor, Cheng Shun Bo Qian Ruolin.

Qian Ruolin is different from Liu Shanhe. Liu Shanhe was the old subordinate of the new emperor when he was in Qingzhou. Therefore, the assets of the Liu family were mainly concentrated in Qingzhou and Jinan Prefecture.

Although the Qian family is just a uncle's mansion, there was a queen, of course, the queen who was posthumously conferred.

She is the new emperor's biological mother, Qian Shufei of the past.

Qian Ruolin is the new emperor's uncle. In addition to Cheng Shunbo, the Qian family also has the title of Chengen Marquis, and is currently given to Qian Ruolin's younger brother Qian Ruolin.

In the capital, the children of Chengshun Bo Mansion were very low-key. Because the King of Qi was adopted when he was young, both Emperor Taizong and the late emperor took great care of Chengshun Bo Mansion.

Qian Ruolin and Qian Ruolwang brothers were in Guanglu Temple and the other in the Ministry of Works. They seemed ordinary, but in fact, they secretly kept making money.

The King of Qi was far away in Qingzhou, and the Qian brothers were the King of Qi’s money grabbing masters.

The industries of King Qi outside Lu were all purchased and managed by the Qian brothers.

After He Ran entered the capital, she only confiscated three houses in Cheng Shunbo's mansion in the capital and eight hundred acres of sacrifice fields.

All three houses were rewarded, and the 800 acres of sacrifice fields were still placed in the Ministry of Revenue. Until the end, these sacrifice fields would not be sold.

This time, among the fifty-six industries that Lao Guanghuai found, thirty-five belonged to the Qian family, and it is unknown how many of these thirty-five are from the new emperor.

Seeing the results of this month, He Ran was overjoyed and immediately ordered the nails far away in Jinling to release the good news.

However, the Qian brothers have already learned the news first.

Although they are separated by a river, the industries left in Jiangbei have always been under their control.

In recent years, they have been dealing with the industry, but it is not easy to deal with the industry. Even if someone wants to buy it, the price will be kept pressing. In the past two years, the north has gradually become peaceful, and the prices of these industries have gradually recovered, but they dare not sell in large quantities.

It is too dangerous and can easily be targeted. If someone knows that these industries belong to the Qian family or even the new emperor, then they will lose all their money.

Therefore, in the past or two years, they have been secretly selling a small amount of industries and things, but for the Qian family and the Pang Dajia of the Xindi, these are just the tip of the iceberg.

After the news that the Liu family's fifty-nine industries were seized reached Jinling, the Qian brothers became anxious and worried that He Ran would be targeted one day, but they did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

Of course, they also have to pay their respects to the emperor's nephew. If the emperor's nephew had not done anything wrong, He Ran would not have been in a hurry to raise money, and Lao Guanghuai would not have found them.

Of course, the Qian family's industries in the north are not the only ones, but even so, they feel very distressed.

What's more, the biggest of these are actually the new emperor's!

Over the years, the Qian brothers have watched their nephew walk from Qingzhou into the capital, and from the capital to Jinling, from the prince to the regent, and from the regent to the emperor.

And the relationship between them has also changed from uncle and nephew to monarch and minister.

Especially in the past two years, they have felt that their nephews are becoming increasingly alienated from them.

The two of them first concealed the news, but they forgot that there was not only one source of the news, they could know, and of course the emperor could know it.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

The new emperor was furious.

The emperor's anger did not burn He Ran (one is far away, two is not afraid).

The unlucky Qian brothers took on everything.

My dear nephew smashed the cup on the feet of uncles. They dared not hide and let the hot tea seep into their boots.

"Tell me the truth, how many industries are there left in Jiangbei?"

The Qian brothers understood that the new emperor was not asking about the Qian family's industries, but the industries that the Qian family used to make money.

Qian Ruolin said carefully: "There are sixty-five shops, as well as five restaurants, eight brothels, six rice shops, six **** shops, four gambling shops, and Chengyuan Stores."

Qian Ruowang added in a low voice: "Handan and Leting still have three mines."

The new emperor felt his head buzzing, and there were so many more!

"Didn't I ask you to deal with it? Why are there so many more?"

When the capital was moved, the new emperor asked the Qian family to dispose of everything they could and exchange it for gold to transport it to Jinling, but in a few years, there were so many more.

The Qian brothers' heads are about to pierce into the ground. Don't they want to deal with it?

You must have never heard of the price of one tael of silver in ten acres of land, right?

That’s right, in recent years, the wars were in chaos, and the fertile land could be bought with one tael of silver, and those shops were also cut in half and then cut in half.

How can I bear to sell it!

The new emperor looked down at the two people in front of him with contempt. These two wastes were not enough to succeed.

I was poor that I was just a vassal king back then. Not to mention buying a property near the capital, I would not dare to make a big fuss even in Jinan Prefecture.

In those years, only Cheng Shun Bo Mansion, the foreign family.

The Qian family did do a lot of things for him and made a lot of money for him, allowing him to recruit soldiers and make friends with important officials in the court.

But he also gave the Qian family a lot of money. Half of the money Qian family earned from his industry was given to him, and the other half was in the Qian family's pocket.

He knew it well, but turned a blind eye to the point where he was clear and fish were not allowed to taste the sweetness of the Qian family. How could he be devoted to making money for himself?

But now, these two people are trying to ruin all his industries!

How can the new emperor endure it?

That night, the two Master Qian stayed in the palace.

Before the Qian family saw them go back, they sent someone to ask, and after asking, they found out that they were kept by the emperor.

The Qian family didn't care, and they were even a little proud. Look, although the nephew was the emperor, he still treated his two uncles as usual.

The Qian family is the emperor's closest person.

But early the next morning, when the two Mr. Qian walked out of the temporary palace with ashes, someone smelled the unpleasant smell of urine from them.

These two people have wet their pants?

No one knows what happened that night, but the two Mr. Qian looks very bad.

driven to distraction?

Unsure of shock?

Life is worse than death?

He Ran soon learned about the experience of these two Mr. Qian.

He Ran laughed loudly, it seemed that this time he had hurt the new emperor's muscles and bones.

But this is far from enough. I haven’t raised enough money to fight you yet.

"Xiaodong, go to the Ministry of Revenue and tell Lord Lao that he will continue to investigate and keep biting the Qian family!"

Half a month later, the Ministry of Revenue raised the first silver, a total of 200,000 taels.

He Ran was very happy. He transferred ten people from the Eagles, followed Lao Guanghuai, and ordered ten more people, and sent them to Lao Mansion.

These twenty people were both men and women. Those who followed Lao Guanghuai were all men, and most of them were sent to Lao's house.

When Lao Guanghuai returned home, he saw a strange face next to his wife, who was handsome and handsome, and he looked unusual.

Lao Guanghuai smiled and joked at Mrs. Shangguan: "We can also enjoy the blessings of our children and grandchildren."

Mrs. Shangguan also smiled: "I am an old woman. Are you still worried that someone will not be assassinated? That child is just a heart full of trouble."

Lao Guanghuai shook his head: "Madam, you can't think so. That child values ​​our two old bones. For the sake of that child, we can't have any trouble, we can't be careless."

Mrs. Shangguan never asks about political affairs on weekdays. She was stunned at this time and asked, "Did you offend someone outside? What did you do?"

Lao Guanghuai smiled bitterly: "Madam, don't worry, the person I offended is on the other side of the river."

Mrs. Shangguan suddenly understood and she breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was the small court going south, so it would be fine. It was so far away that those people could not stretch their hands so long.

But the facts proved that Mrs. Shangguan thought it was too simple.

A few days later, Lao Fengyun, the eldest son of the Lao family, was kidnapped on the way back from the academy.

Lao Guang has two sons and one daughter, and his daughter has passed away. Although the two sons are brothers, they get married late. As a cousin, Lao Fengyun is only two years older than He Ran.
