    Looking at the brocade box in his hand, thoughts flashed through Ye Chen's mind. No wonder the gifts were robbed in the plot and Lu Yifeng was not severely punished. It turned out that it was just a bluff.

    Compared to one million taels, just over 30,000 taels is really insignificant.

    "I'd like to ask you to see Shangxian!" Lu Yifeng knelt down and said, "I wonder which government office you are from, Shangxian?"

    "Is it necessary for me, the commander, to report to the Yamen myself for my actions?"

    "How dare I lower my rank? I would like to ask Shang Xian if he knows the way to be an official?"

    "Please advise!"

    "The first thing to do as an official is to plant more flowers and less thorns. With this one million tael of respect, if you get interested in wealth, you will not only offend King Pingxi, but also offend so many important officials in the capital. This will make you enemies.  Occasionally, one or two trees are not a problem, but one tree can have hundreds of trees. With so many people, all they have to do is talk, even if Shang Xian has a huge backing, it will not help!"

    ¡°Then I wonder if Mr. Lu has any good ideas!¡±

    "King Pingxi is in charge of Yunnan. He has many important military and political affairs on weekdays, and there are frequent banditry and chaos in the territory. Thanks to the cooperation of the princes and ministers in the capital, Baylor, the prince ordered his subordinates to present one million taels of silver to express his gratitude to the ministers for their kindness."

    Lu Yifeng paused and continued, "I don't want the remnants of Prince Mu's palace to be ruthless and want to rob. I would like to thank Shang Xian for his help. In addition to the fifty thousand taels that should have been presented to the Lord, the total is one hundred thousand taels."  Respectfully, please submit it to the Constitution!"

    "One hundred thousand taels?"

    There was a hint of amusement in Ye Chen's eyes, but he was quite emotional in his heart. It's really not easy for anyone to get up in the officialdom!

    Lu Yifeng is an official who only knows how to bully the market and show his claws, but the scheming revealed at this moment is also quite powerful. He has already seen that Ye Chen has the intention to swallow the money, so his words are first intimidating, then respectful, and then replaced by  Others may have bowed their heads and accepted the one hundred thousand taels, turning the big problem into a small one.

    "It's true to say so, but it still depends on the person!" Ye Chen sneered, "Maybe the officials of the Sixth Academy don't dare to be disrespectful to King Pingxi, but what will be the consequences of offending King Pingxi? I ??don't know.  Sir, can you tell me?"

    Lu Yifeng said, "Prince Pingxi guards the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou and has a high and powerful position. Once he impeaches the emperor to extinguish the prince's anger, then Shangxian must be"

    "Haha" Ye Chen suddenly burst out laughing, then suppressed his laughter and said in a deep voice, "Kerle, tell him how Kangxi feels about this commander!"

    "I hate you so much!" Kerle said, "I wish I could punish you!"

    "The punishment of beating is the most cruel punishment in Ling Chi. The human body will be cut with 3,600 knives, leaving only oil but no blood. The person will die in endless pain and wailing.

    "What!" Lu Yifeng's expression froze. The emperor hated a person so much that all nine of his clans would be exterminated together. But this person was not only alive and well, he was also a second-rank official

    (Maybe he is the pro-military commander Eguza, the man who dared to scold Xiaozhuang¡¯s empress/palace for interfering in politics!)

    At this moment, Lu Yifeng felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

    Kerler continued, "As for the officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital, more people are more, but a hundred deer cannot scare a tiger! If King Pingxi can personally lead his troops to attack the Forbidden City, then my master will be shattered to pieces.  !¡±

    King Pingxi can lead troops to attack the Forbidden City, then he is the emperor, and he can naturally deal with Ye Chen, but is this possible!

    "How could it be!" Lu Yifeng's eyes became a little hollow,

    "Where are the other coins?" Ye Chen shouted suddenly,

    "In" As soon as the words came out, Lu Yifeng came to his senses and glared at Ye Chen. After losing this one million taels of salute, he would die when he returned to Yunnan, and he would no longer be cautious about his words and deeds.

    However, Ye Chen chuckled lightly,

    "why are you laughing!"

    "It seems that my guess is good, it is indeed more than one million taels!" Ye Chen looked at Keller and said, "Have you searched carefully?"

    "Go back to the master and search everything inside and out," Kerler said.

    Ye Chen was silently recalling the previous situation. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. It seemed that the last behavior of the guard leader was a bit strange.

    After Mu Jiansheng took Lu Yifeng hostage, he had already stated that he was only seeking money. Why did he run away? If he was nervous, he should have rushed towards Lu Yifeng instead of turning around and leaving.

    Unless he has something more valuable than one million taels!

    "Have you brought back the bodies of the nine guards?" Ye Chen asked Keller,

    Keller replied, "Bring them all back and place them outside. We will wait for the master's order to be cremated together at the fire ground!"

    As soon as these words came out, Lu Yifeng¡¯s faceSuddenly a big change,

    Ye Chen said, "Go and search in detail. Don't miss the layers of clothes and hats!"

    "Yes!" Keller responded,

    At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door, "Sir, the slave guard leader Bo Jichi wants to see you for something!"

    "Come in!"

    As soon as Bojichi entered the main hall, he said, "Sir, find a pawn ticket from the underwear of the guard leader!"

    "Pawn tickets?" Ye Chen asked doubtfully,

    "It's a pawn ticket from Wanyong Pawnshop!" After hesitating for a while, Bo Jichi said again, "Sir, there is someone behind this pawnshop that will surely make you stronger!"

    Ye Chen immediately ordered, "Bo Jichi, call Tu Lun Sheng to redeem the things. If the pawn shop owner dares to make things difficult, his shop will be smashed! Remember, you are not allowed to reveal your identity!"

    "Slave, please obey!" Tu Lun Sheng bowed and retreated.

    boom!  Lu Yifeng's body went limp, and finally he collapsed weakly. At this time, his expression was gray and despairing.

    ¡­¡­

    In the lobby, Ye Chen opened the brocade box, took out twenty silver notes and handed them to Keller, saying, "Except for sharing it with the brothers, the rest will be used to support your family!"

    "Master, this" Keller's outstretched hand stopped halfway.

    ¡°You can take it if it¡¯s given to you!¡±

    "Thank you, Master!" Keller was about to kneel down, but remembered Ye Chen's rules, so he endured it. After calming down, he hesitated and said, "Master, this matter is quite big, and it even caused alarm.  I'm afraid I can't keep the Bujun Yamen secret for long. If Ao Zhongtang asks, then"

    Ye Chen nodded. He took the risk to rob this money to use it in the future coup. But if Wu Sangui impeached him, all the officials above the fourth rank would report together. Each one of them could drown him with just a spit of spit.

    But as Keller said, a hundred deer cannot scare a tiger.

    ??And he bet that Wu Sangui would not fall out with Ao Bai for these millions of taels of silver. Compared with the throne of King Pingxi, money is just an extraneous thing.

    "Besides, this Lu Yifeng is also a source of trouble!" Keller added,

    However, everything is open to chance. If this matter really breaks out, how much silver will the Pingxi Palace lose? In the absence of witnesses and material evidence, the end result will be a fight between the two sides. Besides, Wu Sangui still wants to ask for help from Obai, so naturally he does not dare to be too conciliatory.  force!

    As long as you make up for Oboi¡¯s share, nothing will happen!

    Ye Chen seemed to be remembering something and chuckled, "Keller, I heard that many people die mysteriously every year in the prison of the Department of Punishment. It is related to the jailer's method, which is called sacking!"

    The person who was crushed to death by a sack, according to the pulse condition, was caused by blood stasis and qi blockage. There was no external injury or internal disease on the body. Let alone the doctor, even the best doctor could not find out the cause of death.

    But not everyone is good at this method. The weight of the sack is related to the prisoner's body shape. If it is heavy, the person will bleed from all the orifices. If it is light, it will not be able to crush the person.

    "My master has a fiery eye. This slave really knows how to do this. Master wants to" Keller said slowly,

    "Let the Ministry of Personnel appoint another prefect of Qujing!"

    "My slave obeys your orders!"

    ¡­¡­

    Half an hour later, Tu Lunsheng returned to the Qinjun Yamen, holding a brocade box in his hand. The brocade box was carved from the finest rosewood and exuded the slightest fragrance, calming the mind and calming the mind.

    "Sir, it is indeed as you thought. The pawnshop owner refused to redeem the pawn at first. He said that he had to meet someone before he could redeem it. Even the slave destroyed half of his shop, but he still refused! If the slave hadn't killed a few people, he was preparing for a bloodbath.  He won¡¯t even take out his shop!¡±

    (He is a ruthless master!)

    Ye Chen nodded secretly in his heart. Among the three deputy commanders, Tu Lunsheng was the most ruthless and acted recklessly just to gain the position of deputy commander of the army. He even killed Xiaozhuang's grandson at will, which shows his ruthlessness.  Sharp!

    "Sir!" Tu Lunsheng presented the brocade box to Ye Chen,

    There was a seal on the brocade box, which read, "Sealed by Prince Pingxi personally." Under the seal was a small, simple lock. Ye Chen gently weighed the box, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. With the keen sense of his pores, the brocade box was sealed.  There was a very slight sound of metal friction coming from inside the box.

    There are also agencies!  Ye Chen frowned slightly,

    Once the lock is broken by force, the internal mechanism will be triggered and everything will be destroyed.

    "Sir, Naqi seems to know some skills in unlocking, why not" Seeing Ye Chen frowning in thought, Tu Lunsheng suggested,

    "Then ask him to come!" Ye Chen said,

    "Yes!" Tu Lunsheng bowed and stepped back.

    After a while, acceptQi walked into the lobby,

    "Try to see if you can open this lock!" Ye Chen pointed to the brocade box on the desk.

    "yes!"

    Naqi approached the desk, took out a piece of iron wire from the end of the braid, stretched it into the keyhole, and stirred it up regularly, making a small clicking sound.

    Click!  Half a quarter of an hour later, the small lock trembled and bounced into two pieces. Naqi took off the small lock and bowed out of the lobby.

    Ye Chen gently opened the lid and saw a thick stack of banknotes inside, including three hundred Datong cashier's checks worth 10,000 taels.

    "Four million taels is enough!"

    Ye Chen took out all the banknotes and put them in the nightmare mark. After thinking about it, he also put the rosewood brocade box in.

    "Sir, Aozhongtang has sent someone to summon you, so that you can go and discuss important matters!" At this moment, there were several knocks outside the door, and the voice of Deputy Commander Shou Min came,
