The news that Han Huanzhi returned to Tingwei Mansion soon spread throughout Chang'an City. The news of the New Year was like a big firecracker, which made many people dizzy.

The people who lived in the same club were still in the process of finding out, wondering if Ye Liuyun was hosting the Qingyi Tower, and wondering if Han Huanzhi was really back, but Han Huanzhi took the black cavalry and raided the Sheng family. There was no need to guess now.

This way of returning caught many people off guard. The Tingwei Mansion is different. They have been in a state of depression for a long time, and even have some depression like nothing to do. The first thing Han Huanzhi did when he came back was to search a duke's house, and his morale suddenly became stronger.

The Duke of Yan State.

Han Huanzhi sat on a chair and drank tea. Of course, the tea was from the Duke of Yan's mansion. It tasted pretty good, although it was not what Han Huanzhi liked to drink.

A hundred office of the Tingwei Mansion quickly stepped in from outside and leaned over and said, "Sir, I have checked it inside and outside. All the things on the surface have been sealed, but no large amount of money was found. There is nothing too valuable in the mansion. It seems that the Duke of Yan is not rich."

"Um."

Han Huanzhi put down the teacup and asked: "Where is Duke Yan's study? Take me there."

"yes."

Baiban responded and took Han Huanzhi to the study room of Duke Yan. The furnishings in the study were simple, including desks, bookshelfs, chairs, and coffee tables. In addition, there were several calligraphy and paintings, several vases, three or five bonsai, and nothing else.

◇Zero Zero

"It looks simple."

Han Huanzhi glanced at Duke Yan who was brought over: "Duke is really pure."

Duke Yan snorted and ignored it.

"I heard that the Duke of the Kingdom's family has a wide range of business, but his life is so simple, which is really admirable. But I also ask the Duke of the Kingdom to understand our Tingwei Mansion, we are the ones who do such errands."

Yan Guo said justice: "What do you mean? Are you saying that I have hidden all the money? Is it necessary? If you want to check it, you can check it on the books and make it clear."

"A book with clear books is often not a real one."

Han Huanzhi ordered: "Knock the walls around, and knock the ground too."

When he said this, he looked at Duke Yan. Duke Yan seemed extremely disdainful and snorted and stopped looking at Han Huanzhi.

About two minutes later, his subordinates had checked the walls and the ground, but still found nothing.

"I firmly believe in one thing that people who love money are willing to look at their own wealth."

Han Huanzhi walked to the desk and sat down. There was a window on one side of the desk. You could see the small garden outside by opening it. It was the middle of winter, so you couldn't see any scenery. However, if it was spring and summer, the small garden was full of flowers and plants, and it should be very beautiful.

Looking out the window, facing a lotus pond is not very large. Of course, there are no lotus flowers in this season. The rockery is not big but has a very good shape. This stone should be valuable.

"Go dig the lotus pond."

Han Huanzhi raised his finger and pointed to the other side: "If there is nothing in the Hechi Pond, I dug up the garden."

He looked back at Duke Yan and found that Duke Yan's face had turned pale.

The next day, Weiyang Palace and Donghunting Pavilion.

The emperor glanced at Han Huanzhi, who was wearing the brocade clothes of Dutingwei, and shook his head slightly: "I will give you a first-rank official position, a serious official, an official of the border, and a large-scale vassal of Anxi Protectorate, and control all the ways."

After pausing, he snorted: "But you like this piece of Du Tingwei's clothes."

Han Huanzhi leaned over and said

: "I am afraid that I will delay Your Majesty's major affairs. The Anxi Protectorate Office has a lot of people in charge. I just have some small thoughts in investigating and handling cases, so I cannot cure the overall situation."

The emperor sighed: "If you like to investigate the case, then continue to investigate the case. You can handle the matters of the Sheng family yourself and don't make any omissions."

Han Huanzhi said: "It is not difficult to dig out people who have the same sanctuary, but with just a confession from Duke Yan, without any evidence, it is difficult to convict so many dukes. It will take some time to start with money. They have business dealings in private, and they use business to investigate relationships and establish a party through relationships."

The emperor asked: "Then how much money did you find out?"

Han Huanzhi said: "Yesterday, I asked someone to dig a pond and dug out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

The emperor's eyes lit up: "Hundreds of thousands of taels?"

"yes."

Han Huanzhi said: "If you investigate carefully, I suspect that only Duke Yan's family can confiscate nearly one million silver."

The emperor sighed: "The treasury of the Heiwu Kingdom is probably not worth millions of taels of silver now. A man in Daning can collect millions of taels from his home."

He glanced at Han Huanzhi: "In fact, the treasury in Daning is not sufficient. We have been fighting for wars over the years. The silver spent in the treasury is like flowing water, and in recent years, it has no longer been charged from all the ** roads, so"

The emperor smiled: "If a few companies are punished, the treasury of Daning will be full again."

Han Huanzhi said: "The biggest business of the Sheng family is in the East Xinjiang. I have sent someone to inform the Tingwei Mansion in Dongjiang, Gule and Geng Shan, and let them investigate it strictly."

The emperor suddenly remembered: "I am still thinking about how to give the stupid boy some compensation, so that I can give him this errand and let him be the imperial envoy, and be responsible for judging Sheng's business in Dongjiang."

Han Huanzhi was stunned. This matter should be sponsored by the Tingwei Mansion. Why did Shen Leng be the imperial envoy?

Moreover, Shen Leng is still in northern Xinjiang, and even if he is in a hurry to rush back to Dongjiang, it will take half a year. When Shen Leng investigates the business of Sheng’s family in Dongjiang, maybe the people from the Sheng family have already been prepared, and it is impossible for him to wait that long.

Then he suddenly realized that His Majesty just wanted to give Shen Leng a name, an imperial envoy.

First, let those who thought Shen Leng had lost power clearly see that His Majesty did not really give up Shen Leng. This is a signal that His Majesty wants to send out.

Second, let Shen Leng stand directly opposite the co-memorial meeting, which is also a signal.

Therefore, Han Suzhi bowed his head: "I obey the order."

The emperor asked: "You hesitated just now. Are you wondering why I asked Shen Leng to be the imperial envoy?"

He walked to the window and looked outside and said, "What I thought was a bit complicated before. Instead, Changye's words woke me up. Changye said that everything is appropriate, and the matter within the limit is not excessive, whether it is reward or punishment."

He looked back at Han Huanzhi: "Sometimes I think that you understand that you are more harsh with those who are close to me, but you are more tolerant of those who are not that close to me."

He shook his head: "This is wrong. Give all the good to those who are not close to you, and give bad to those who are close to you, and then he has to look like this because he is close to you. It's ugly!"

The emperor was silent for a moment and turned around and said to Han Huanzhi: "Actually, many people are like this, just like me and you. I think you are close to others, so I often feel that it is your duty. If you do it right, you will scold me. If you do it wrong, you will give others three points to you, and you will also think you will understand."

The emperor let out a long sigh: "Some regret."

Han Huanzhi was in a complicated mood and said, "I understand your Majesty's wishes."

The emperor glanced at him: "I just used you as an example, but I didn't really say it was bad for you."

Han Huanzhi: ""

The emperor looked at him: "If you ask you to be a rank of officials, you won't go."

Han Huanzhi: ""

After thinking for a while, the emperor said, "Let's do this, the Sheng family confiscated the Tingwei Mansion can leave 10% of the Tingwei Mansion and divide it into five parts. It's almost the New Year, take out some of the silver as a reward, save part of it for emergencies, and then take out part of it to the Tingwei's house who died in the line of duty."

"I will still use the remaining two pieces to transfer to Qingyi Building."

Han Huanzhi said: "That's tens of thousands of taels of silver, too much."

Emperor: "I saved it for me, and it wasn't for you. I don't need any expenses anymore? I used too much money on the books, and even the people from the Censorate scolded me, saying that I was extravagant."

Han Huanzhi: ""

The emperor said: "I'll investigate the case of the Sheng family. Do you know what it means?"

Han Huanzhi nodded: "I understand."

The emperor said, "In addition, I want to give you a great gift next year, but you also know that there is no extra great contribution. It is too difficult to be a duke. Next year, I will let Shen Leng attack the Sang Kingdom. You can go with the army. When I come back, I will be a duke."

Han Huanzhi's face changed suddenly: "Since"

The emperor said, "Go and do your business. I know what you want to say, but you should also know that I want to give it to you, and you can't help it."

At the same time, northern Xinjiang.

Shen Leng and the others should have spent this Spring Festival on the way. The team left the northern Xinjiang and returned to the eastern Xinjiang. Fortunately, the brothers would not be bored if they walked together.

In the carriage, Chen Ran sat cross-legged and played dice with the big guys and the others. They were all stingy people, who played money, so they thought of another way, and whoever lost would knock someone would break the brain.

Later, Chen Ran found that this method was not very good. He won, and knocked the big one, and it would be fine if the big one grinned in pain. When the big one hit him, he felt a buzzing in his head.

"Ranzi."

The big man asked Chen Ran: "What did you want to do before joining the army?"

Chen Ran thought about it and replied: "Before joining the army, I thought about inheriting my father's career and working hard to create a world at the dock."

Big man: "Aren't you carrying a big bag?"

Chen Ran said: "Bah, you don't understand. When I was a child, I thought that if I could organize all the labor workers on the dock to form a business bank and monopolize the delivery business, so that I would not be bullied by the merchants. We can be responsible for picking up and delivering goods. You said you can deliver them wherever you say you will be delivered. I will be in charge of the unified command and dispatch of the Central Army, and the money will be rolling in."

The big man felt that he understood, but he didn't understand, thinking that it was all that little money?

Chen Ran said: "When Lengzi stops fighting one day, I will go to do business. Doing business with my mind will definitely make money."

He asked, "Big man, don't you want to get rich?"

The big man scratched his hair: "I think so."

Chen Ran asked: "Then what ambition do you have?"

The big man scratched his hair again: "I think it's simple and rough. I just want to search the house and search the homes of those corrupt officials. This is to get rich, get rich overnight."

Chen Ran was stunned for a moment and curled his lips: "I really can't talk about ideals with a rough person like you."
