On the evening of May 27th, Guanzhong, Luoan, Anfu. Under the personal welcome of An Shanhe, the new head of the An family, and other members of the An family, Yuan Song, who was somewhat flattered, also walked into the An mansion... ·········· Because he had just entered Luoan and was busy with work, and because he had a special status and wanted to avoid suspicion, Yuan Song did not have much contact with the An family after entering Luoan and rescuing the An family.
But what he didn't expect was that Anshanhe sent him an invitation a few days ago, saying that he wanted to entertain Yuan Song at a banquet in his house to thank Yuan Song for his rescue.
Yuan Song was a little surprised by this. He knew that because of An Miaoyi, all the nobles from Luo An had been running to the An family in the past few days to try to establish relations with the An family.
Therefore, in the past few days, An's family could be said to be bustling with people coming and going. Yuan Song was also a little surprised that An's family could spare a day to entertain him.
In the past few days, too many dignitaries from Luo'an wanted to entertain him, but because they could not figure out the marshal's attitude towards these yesterday's princes, they were all rejected by Yuan Song. Yuan Song originally wanted to treat An Jia in this way, but he wanted to The invitations were sent to me, and the words were very sincere. It would be too disrespectful to refuse the invitation. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the An family gives it to them or not, but there is a true god behind the An family!
Although Yuan Song doesn't want to get too close to the other party and arouse Ye Mingsheng's suspicion, he also doesn't want to offend others... So think of it. After much deliberation, Yuan Song finally decided to attend the banquet in person to give Zuo Anjia face!
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, An Shanhe, who was sitting at the head of the banquet, said to Yuan Song sincerely: "Thank you so much, General Yuan, for rescuing us from the clutches of the enemy! We will remember this from top to bottom of our An family." General Yuan, your great kindness!" Listening to the words of the most respected uncle of the An family in front of him, who was also the newly elected head of the An family after An Zhirong's death, Yuan Song also smiled and waved his hand. : "Mr. An, what you said is serious. This is all Yuan's responsibility! You are so polite!"
"The commander is well aware that Anjia has been implicated a lot in recent years because of our Fengwu Army, and suffered a lot of torture from the traitor Shangguan and his son. In addition, for the safety of your Anjia, our Fengwu Army has also used various channels to warn Shangguan and the traitor not to do anything. Self-mistaken!"
"After our troops entered Guanzhong this time, the commander-in-chief specially issued an order, asking our troops to ensure the safety of Anjia!"
"Now that the traitor Shangguan and his son have been put to death, I have sent troops to pacify Guanzhong, and the An family has finally come to an end of all their hardships!" Listening to Yuan Song's words, An Shanhe burst into tears and said, "Thank you for bringing me, the An family, to you." Shuai Tian'en, if it hadn't been for the arrival of the heavenly soldiers under Marshal Ye, our An clan would never have seen the light of day again... ··”
"I just pity my Hetu and Zhirong nephews for losing their lives at the hands of the traitor Shangguan!"
"We, the An family, are incompatible with the Shangguan traitor. We are incompatible with each other! I can't wait to eat the Shangguan traitor's flesh and sleep with his skin to satisfy his hatred!" Yuan Song also smiled after hearing this and calmed Anshanhe's mood. When Anshanhe's mood calmed down, After coming down, the 60-year-old uncle of the An family seemed to have remembered something and asked Yuan Song: "I wonder how well the eldest lady and Master Jingren are doing?" Yuan Song nodded with a smile and said: "The eldest lady and the young master are doing well." The young master is in good health, and the eldest lady has always been concerned about the situation of the An family. When I heard that the An family was imprisoned by Shangguan traitors, she also prayed for the An family by eating fast and chanting Buddha on weekdays. I hope that all of you are safe!"
"I'm not satisfied with you saying that I came to the banquet this time. Another purpose is to ask you to ask the old lady to write a letter home to the eldest lady, so as to ease the eldest lady's longing for her family!"
"This is specially arranged by our commander-in-chief in the order. Of course, if possible, the old lady might as well go to Yijing to see the first lady and Mr. Jingren with her own eyes!" An Shanhe's expression changed as soon as these words came out. Although when they were imprisoned before, most of the An family members cursed An Miaoyi, thinking that she was a pig and married the rebel Ye Mingsheng, which not only made her a rebel, but also implicated the family. Let the An family be reduced to such a situation... Some people are even worried that after the Fengwu Army was wiped out by Shangguan Hongyuan, The imperial court will punish the nine Ye Mingsheng clans, and their An family will also be executed.
So they desperately wanted to draw a clear line with An Miaoyi. For this reason, some people even isolated and insulted An Miaoyi's mother, Yang!
But after the Fengwu Army Luoan and the An clan were liberated, these clansmen immediately realized the importance of An Miaoyi to the An family.
They all immediately changed their minds, praising An Miaoyi's sharp eyesight and knowledge as the pride of the An family, and fawning over An Miaoyi's mother, Yang.
Although the outside world now generally believes that An Miaoyi will be the future queen and that the An family will follow suit, An Shanhe, as the current person in charge of the An family, also has some concerns.
An Shanhe's concern was that some unpleasant things in the past would reach An Miaoyi's ears, causing An Miaoyi to have some resentment towards the family.
So An Shanhe decided to invite Yuan Song to his home for the banquet this time. Firstly, he wanted to thank Yuan Song for his help. Secondly, he also wanted to test Yuan Song's tone and see An Miaoyi's attitude towards the people in her family. What it is like, this will also help him formulate the next policy plan.
Judging from Yuan Song's words so far, An Miaoyi probably doesn't know about these bad things in the family and is still very concerned about the family. An Shanhe also felt relieved about this and replied to Yuan Song with a smile: "Of course There is no problem! Please excuse me, madam, I will arrange it soon..." After saying this, Anshanhe made up his mind. , he will have a good talk with Yang later and let Yang focus on the overall situation!
Don’t blame An Miaoyi for the misunderstandings about the family, but say more good things about the family to An Miaoyi, and let An Miaoyi give more advice and support in front of Marshal Ye. These children of the An family talked with Anshanhe for a while. , Yuan Song saw that the conversation was almost finished and said goodbye to Anshanhe. He still had a lot of official business to deal with and this time he came to Anjia as an exception.
Now that he has eaten and drank, it is time for Yuan to go back! Seeing that Yuan Song was about to leave, An Shanhe personally sent Yuan Song outside the house to give Yuan Song face, and promised to send Yang's family letter to Yuan Song tomorrow.
After returning to his residence in Luo'an, before Yuan Song had time to take a rest, he saw General Zheng Chuang coming to report to him.
"Master Yuan, in the past few days, I have raided almost all the homes of Shangguan's traitors and gang members. The specific details are here. Please take a look at them, sir!" As he said this, Zheng Chuang handed over a pamphlet and took it from Zheng Chuang's hand. After taking the brochure, Yuan Song read it carefully.
The brochure clearly stated that there were more than 750,000 taels of silver, 30,000 taels of gold, more than 3,000 pieces of gold, silver and jades, more than 1,000 pieces of antiques, 2,000 pieces of silk and satin, 15,000 pieces of cloth, and grain. Three hundred thousand stones, ten thousand stones of salt! "
"The six hundred and five land deeds include 237 shop deeds, 153 house deeds, and 215 land deeds... ·········Looking at the gold and silver treasures in the brochure, although Yuan Song has traveled far and wide, he can't help but secretly marvel at the wealth of these Luoan dignitaries. See Yuan Song. Holding the pamphlet without saying anything, Zheng Chuang thought that Yuan Song was dissatisfied with this and immediately explained: "Master Yuan, many of Shangguan's traitorous party members fled to Sichuan and Shu. These people all went with gold and silver, so That’s all we’ve found so far! "
"In addition to the gold and silver property registered in the register, we also copied more than 7,000 women's papers, half of which are women of the right age!" At this point, Zheng Chuang changed his voice and said in a low voice: "The above are registered in the register. In private, I have left a generous gift to you and the generals from my humble position, and in terms of women's papers, you and the generals can also pick them up at any time!" Yuan Song looked stunned when he said this, and he did not expect Zheng Chuang to return it. With such an operation, Zheng Chuang, feeling the surprise in Yuan Song's expression, was also suspicious. The job of confiscating homes was undoubtedly a fat job, so when Yuan Song handed over this matter to him, Zheng Chuang thought that Yuan Song It was hinting at something to him.
But now looking at Yuan Song's unexpected expression, Zheng Chuang couldn't help but feel surprised, and realized that he seemed to have misunderstood Yuan Song's meaning... ·····Just when Zheng Chuang was feeling uneasy, Yuan Song hesitated and asked, "How much have you prepared?" Seeing Yuan Song ask this, Zheng Chuang said without hesitation: "Master Yuan, I will prepare it for you. We have collected one hundred thousand taels of silver, one hundred gold bars, and have prepared more than 500 pieces of gold, silver, jade, etc. for you, as well as more than 500 pieces of antiques, five houses, ten shops, and good farmland. The land deed totals 5,000 acres.”
"We have prepared thirty thousand taels of silver for each of the generals, thirty gold bars, more than one hundred pieces of gold, silver and jade, and more than one hundred pieces of antiques! There is one deed for a house, three deeds for shops, and about a thousand acres of fertile land." Before Zheng Chuang finished speaking, Yuan Song looked at him with complicated eyes. Feeling Yuan Song's gaze, Zheng Chuang thought that Yuan Song was not satisfied yet and said again: "That's all for now, Master Yuan, where are you looking?" It's still necessary, and I will make adjustments to my humble position!" At this time, Yuan Song was already frightened by Zheng Chuang. He never expected that Zheng Chuang would be so greedy, and the amount of money he had privately left for himself and these generals was close to thirty. Thousands of taels, including all the gold, silver, jades, cultural antiques, and land deeds, the total amount must exceed at least 700,000 taels of silver!
You must know that at the beginning of the year, Gu Shouting only embezzled two to thirty thousand taels of silver, and was executed by Ye Mingsheng without hesitation. How could Zheng Chuang, a general, have such courage... ···········Yuan Song immediately wanted to refuse such a big number, but when he thought of the voices within the Fengwu Army who wrote to Ye Mingsheng and asked to send supervisory troops to his side, Yuan Song fell into thinking. During this time, Yuan Song thought about it for about a cup of tea and said to Zheng Chuang: "Leave me ten thousand taels of silver, thirty gold bars, antiques, gold, silver and jade. I don't want any of them. Leave me a mansion." , I will leave three shops, and I don’t want the land either!”
"You don't have to prepare it for generals. You must register these things, including Zheng Chuang's, in the register. You are not allowed to keep anything private!" Hearing this, Zheng Chuang immediately wanted to say something, but Before he could speak, Yuan Song waved his hand to interrupt him and continued: "Zheng Chuang, you kid, don't be ungrateful, I'm here to save you! This time we capture Luo'an and kill Shangguan's traitor, our entire army We have made great contributions, and the commander-in-chief will definitely reward us!" Zheng Chuang's face suddenly became very depressed when he heard this, but under Yuan Song's stern eyes, he could only nod his head and said: "I obey your orders, and I will definitely reward you. These properties are all registered!" After hearing what Zheng Chuang said, Yuan Songcai raised his head slightly and said, "Is there anything else?" Zheng Chuang thought for a moment and said, "The Coordination Office seems to have found Murong Lun's personal papers. and some Murong tribesmen, sir, do you think you would like to meet them?" Yuan Song thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I just said I was busy with official duties and declined... ········”
"Yes!" After saying this, Zheng Chuang, who had nothing else to do, said goodbye to Yuan Song wisely.
Seeing Zheng Chuang leaving gradually turning into a small black dot, Yuan Song sighed. He really didn't expect Zheng Chuang to be so courageous!
He didn't even think about the fact that he had hidden so much wealth. How could the Coordination Office not notice it? I hope he can listen to me and turn everything over in the register, but if he doesn't listen, there's nothing I can do. After all, good words can't persuade a damn ghost!
Thinking of this, Yuan Song found an unfinished letter from the desk drawer. This was the memorial that Yuan Song was going to write to Ye Mingsheng.
In the memorial, Yuan Song introduced to Ye Mingsheng some of the circumstances of the attack on Louan and some of his thoughts on dealing with the Kipchaks. At the end, Yuan Song also suggested to Ye Mingsheng that the Second Army General Zheng Chuang was very good, but Play a big role!
Yuan Song recommended Ye Dong to Ye Mingsheng as the general of the Second Division. It is not a secret in the current army, and this also made Zheng Chuang aware of the opportunity. He also hinted to Yuan Song that he wanted to complement Ye Dong and transfer him to the Second Division. Finally, the vacancy of General of the Eighth Division!
Although Yuan Song did not directly agree to Zheng Chuang, he thought that after he was transferred to the Second Army, Zheng Chuang actively moved closer to him. The work around him during this period was also very satisfactory, so Yuan Song also planned to fulfill Zheng Chuang's request. Chuang recommended him to Ye Mingsheng!
But now thinking about Zheng Chuang's audacity, Yuan Song shook his head and tore the letter in his hand into pieces...
