The next day, Li Chenan suffered a bruised nose and swollen face.
Looking tired.
Xiao Baozi was full of energy and radiant, as if he had been reborn from nirvana compared to yesterday.
There was no trace of the distress on her face after learning the news yesterday, and she seemed to have forgotten those bad things.
She didn't even mention the eight taels of silver she spent to buy charcoal to Li Chenan, and she began to regard herself as the owner of the room.
"Wang Zhenghaoxuan,"
Xiao Baozi peeled an egg for Li Chenan, put it in Li Chenan's bowl, and looked up at Wang Zhenghaoxuan who was sitting opposite.
"There are two dogs in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha."
"This snow looks like it's not going to stop for a while."
She said nothing more.
Wang Zhenghaoxuan suddenly grinned: "Junior understands!"
"From now on, you, you guys, no longer need to call yourself juniors..."
Xiao Baozi reached out and took out another egg. He peeled it and said calmly:
"Seniority is not important. You and I are similar in age. From now on, just call me Sister Xiao."
Wang Zhenghaoxuan doesn't know what happened last night.
He was suddenly stunned. He once called her Miss Xiao, but she pointed her sword at them and said that she was the same generation as the mountain owner of Mu Shan Dao!
Then she should be called Senior Xiao!
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
Amu immediately understood that Wang Zhenghaoxuan did not understand, "This..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Amu:
"Ahem!" Amu pretended to cough twice, "Junior brother, since Sister Xiao said so, let's just listen."
"Oh," Wang Zhenghaoxuan didn't know why, and he looked at Li Chenan.
He looked at Li Chenan's bruised nose and swollen face, and wondered if it was because Li Chenan fell down when he went to the latrine without a lamp last night?
Then he saw Xiao Baozi's hand reaching into Li Chenan's bowl again, and she put down the freshly peeled egg——
Li Chenan spoke:
"This is enough, I can't eat that much!"
"Eat more, you need good health supplements. Men eat more to grow strong and have strength!"
Before Wang Zhenghaoxuan realized it, he felt that Sister Xiao was a little biased towards this guy Li Chenan?
He was about to say that the egg was his, but he was stopped by his senior brother Amu:
"Junior brother, Xiao Wu also made a prescription."
"You go to the Jade Buddha Temple to catch the dog and come back. On the way, you go to Anji Hall to catch a pair of medicine."
Wang Zhenghaoxuan was stunned again, feeling a little weird: "Who is sick?"
"Nobody got sick."
"Then what are you doing with the medicine?"
"Have a baby!"
Li Chenan: "..."
Wang Zhenghaoxuan: "..."
Xiao Baozi's face turned red, he turned around and walked out the door with an egg in his hand.
…
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial City Division.
In this heavy snowfall, the Imperial City Division changed from black to white, but the color still looked a bit monotonous.
The crooked-neck tree is still there.
The deck chair under the crooked neck tree is still there.
It's just that the old man who has been guarding under this tree and on this deck chair for twenty years is no longer there.
At this moment, Li Chenan was lying on the recliner.
uncomfortable.
too hard.
Back!
"Old Wang..."
Wang Zhengjinzhong bowed slightly, his eyes always falling on Li Chenan's face.
This is the dignified regent of Ningguo!
The existence of the uncrowned king!
Who dared to beat him into this state?
He was curious but didn't dare ask.
"Ah, my subordinate is here!"
"Have the results of the house raids of those officials who were slaughtered come out?"
"Back to the regent, he has come out. You didn't know it, but it made Li Shangshu extremely happy!"
Li Chenan opened his eyes, "So, a lot?"
"It's a lot!"
"My subordinates sent people from seven offices to work with officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to carefully clean up one by one. Not counting their properties, the money found from their houses alone amounted to more than 167 million taels. huge!"
When Li Chenan heard this, a guy sat up from the recliner, and his red and swollen eyes suddenly lit up:
"so much?"
"Not counting those calligraphy and paintings, antiques, jewelry, and jades!"
Wang Zheng Jinzhong handed over his hand and said: "Sir, that old thief Jita alone has purchased nine properties in Kyoto!"
"Those properties are only guarded by a few servants. They are all used to store gold and silver treasures!"
"As for the property Ji Tai has plundered over the years, Li Shangshu said it is shocking. I am afraid it will exceed 100 million taels of silver!"
Li Chenan took a deep breath, 100 million yuan... what the hell!
Since the first year of Zhaohua, in the past twenty-three years, the year in which Ningguo collected the most taxes was the second year of Zhaohua. However, even if the taxes, grain, cloth and other items were exchanged for silver, it was only more than 30,000 taels!
This old guy made 100 million taels of silver alone in more than ten years... No wonder everyone wants to be an official.
However, confiscating these properties now will solve the most pressing crisis at the moment.
Well done, Xi Wei!
It's a pity that he didn't kill the remaining four princes' mansions at the same time.
Li Chenan lay down again, relieved that he had so much money.
"The Imperial City Division has changed the rules. Do they have any objections?"
"Go back to the Regent. If you have any objections, my subordinates have already dealt with them!"
Li Chenan was startled, then raised his eyes, and saw Wang Zheng Jinzhong grinning: "The Imperial City Division used to walk around at night, and some dogs would take advantage of the night to do some sneaky things."
"My hands and feet are not clean."
"Master Changsun actually caught their pigtails when he was here, but he didn't make any announcement."
"Now, Prince Regent, since you want the Imperial City Secretary to walk in the sunshine...those who are not used to the sunshine should die."
Li Chenan nodded silently.
"You ordered the commander-in-chief Zheng Wang of the first branch, and the first branch still wants to secretly investigate who Xi Wei is!"
"He's definitely not dead!"
"But you must not make it public. If you find clues about Xi Wei and determine who he is, that will be enough. The rest... we will talk about it when I come back."
Wang Zheng nodded, leaned over, and whispered: "Prince Regent, would you like to take a look at Changle Palace?"
"It takes five or six days to go back and forth. I don't have time. How is it over there now?"
"The city is now empty... Xia Yunhu was originally discovered, but he ran away with hundreds of people and entered Qishan. The second branch is still searching inside Qishan... I'm afraid it won't be easy to find."
"There's no need to spend too much energy on Xia Yunhu. As long as Ning Guo slowly gets better, he won't be a problem."
"I obey my orders!"
"Those two Taoist priests, it's hard to find them. The master of Taiyi Temple, master and disciple, found them and brought them back. I want to live!"
"good!"
"Have you received any news from Zhou Zheng? Have they arrived in Shuzhou now?"
"Back to the regent, they just entered Shu. They took the land route. They entered Shu by land. It is not easy to travel in the cold winter."
"Well, Fei Ge sent a letter to Zhou Zheng, telling him to act quietly and not to be discovered by Xi Wei's spy."
"Okay... do you think Xi Wei will attack Miss Ruoshui?"
"Just in case, after all, Xi Wei doesn't follow routines or martial ethics."
At this moment, the eunuch Chang Eunuch hurried over.
"Prince Regent, I have finally found you!"
Eunuch Chang saw the injury on Li Chenan's face. The muscles in his face twitched and his eyes suddenly opened: "What are you...?"
Li Chenan sat up from the recliner and touched his face, "He was injured by a female thief."
"Which female thief is so bold?" Wang Zheng Jinzhong was furious, "I will let the Imperial City Department search the whole city for her!"
"What a search!"
"Let's go, be careful of those dogs raised by your Imperial City Secretary!"
"I doubt they'll survive this winter!"
