Jade of Rebirth

But before the onlookers could react, Tang Youwei arrived with his servants. When he saw Yuan Heng and his party, he immediately shouted viciously:

"Who are you?! How dare you shoot at the guards? Don't want to kill you?!" Last time Yuli saw him, he just glanced at him, but now he looked carefully: that Tang Youwei has a sharp-edged Chinese character face , but the eyes are small and hanging upwards, which looks a bit treacherous, and now the appearance of viciousness is even more disgusting.Seeing his small eyes looking up and down at Yuan Heng and Yu Li, and seeing the extraordinary aura of the two, he couldn't help feeling somewhat suspicious.

Seeing that the people around Yuli were also looking at them suspiciously, Tang Youwei seemed to be a little suspicious again, and immediately pushed Yuan Heng away, glaring at him, and then glared at him with an angry look. Tang Youwei took out a token from his sleeve and pointed it at him.

Yuan Heng was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the token in Yu Li's hand was a symbol of his identity. He immediately understood what Yu Li was up to... Yu Li wanted to pretend to be himself!

But now that he has spoken, he can no longer admit that he is the Ninth Prince Yuanheng, and he can only follow Yuli's plan. This idea is just a flash, so he immediately stepped forward and shouted at Tang Youwei : "Bold Tang Youwei, I have seen His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, so hurry up and kneel down!"

Tang Youwei was really taken aback for a moment, and then his face was like a bolt from the blue, turning white and red, red and green again, he never expected that the legendary Ninth Prince Yuan Heng who was on the road would descend from the sky at this time, but he Not giving up, still doubtful, tremblingly asked: "Do you think that the Ninth Prince is the Ninth Prince? I, how did I hear that the Ninth Prince came with Mr. Hubu Shangshu Xie, why, now you are the only one waiting?" Several people?"

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Yuan Heng laughed angrily at him, and said coldly: "What do you think? If we come together with Xie Xun, maybe Liangzhou will be destroyed..."

Hearing this, Yu Li also frowned, threw the token into Tang Youwei's arms, and looked at him contemptuously.

Tang Youwei held the token in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then as if he gave up, he knelt down respectfully and fearfully to salute: "This official should die, this official should die, this official has eyes but can't see Mount Tai, Failure to meet him in time has offended His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince..."

"Of course you deserve to die. How dare you indulge your subordinates to offend His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince. Just now, your subordinates dared to push the Ninth Prince's Hall!" Yuan Heng was very worried about this, and stepped forward to snatch the token, but couldn't help it. Kicked Tang Youwei to the ground, "If something happens to your Highness, even ten thousand deaths will not be enough for you!"

Yu Li looked at Yuan Heng from the side, and found that he still acted like that, couldn't help but smile in his heart, but it wasn't funny, so he could only endure it.

Immediately, he saw that the surrounding people were watching them from a distance, so he stepped forward and pulled Yuanheng's sleeve, motioning him to explain clearly to these people, Yuanheng understood, and ignored Tang who was lying on the ground Youwei stepped forward and said to the onlookers: "Fathers and fellow villagers! His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince said that the money for disaster relief from the imperial court is already on the way, and it will definitely arrive in Liangzhou a few days later than ours, and our Qi'an Mansion will definitely be there." The place that benefits first, I hope everyone can be patient for a while!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man boldly said: "Your Highness Ninth Prince, this porridge is as thin as rice soup. I'm afraid we'll starve to death before the imperial court's disaster relief food arrives. What should we do!"

As soon as he said that, all the people around him knelt down:

"The Ninth Prince is kind, have pity on us!"

"Ninth Prince! Our family is starving to death!"

"Your Highness, please do me a favor and give us a bite to eat!"

Yu Li watched, feeling sore in his heart, and quickly winked at Yuan Heng.Yuan Heng immediately understood and said:

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient." Yuan Heng pressed his hands in the air, signaling them to be quiet, and when they gradually calmed down, he said loudly, "Everyone, don't worry, wait for me...His Royal Highness Ninth Prince will go to the government Take a look at the granary and the nearby rice store, and you will surely be able to fill your stomachs before the imperial court’s food money arrives!"

Tang Youwei, who was behind him, was dumbfounded when he heard this... The Ninth Prince wanted to light a fire as soon as he came, and the fire must be him!

But the surrounding people have already cheered after hearing the words, so why care about Tang Youwei?They kowtowed to Yu Li one after another, calling "Nine Princes are holy", "Ninth Princes are Bodhisattvas who save suffering" and "Nine Princes are a thousand years old and a thousand years old".

Yuan Heng and Yu Li looked at each other and raised the corners of their lips.

The two quickly sneaked Tang Youwei back to the government office of Qi'an Mansion, and summoned a small official from the government's granary to count the remaining grain in the granary. The small official said at first that there was only a little grain left, but Yuan Heng knew at a glance that he was lying, and under threats and torture, the little official revealed the truth...

It turned out that Tang Youwei took the original grain reserves in the government government granary to the rice store and sold them at a high price, but the 3000 taels of silver and one thousand shi from the imperial court had never appeared at all, and Tang Youwei didn't know that they were embezzled by Tang Youwei. , It was already embezzled at the upper state capital.

Yuan Heng was furious when he heard the words, and immediately called Tang Youwei. Tang Youwei resisted at first, but was frightened by Yuan Heng's torture posture...

He was still thinking, why the Ninth Prince himself looks feminine, handsome, elegant and gentle, and this personal attendant under him is like a living King of Hades...

But after thinking about it, he still recruited truthfully: half of the 3000 taels of silver and one thousand shi of grain allocated by the imperial court to each prefecture were embezzled in the state capital, leaving only 500 taels and 1000 taels in his hands. For five hundred shi of grain, he took [-] taels privately, and cooked gruel every day for the rest, and prepared to swallow the rest when the time came...

Yuan Heng didn't fully believe what he said... The conversation between Zheng Yang and Tang Youwei last time was still in his ears, and Chang Qishan was absolutely inseparable from what happened here, but Tang Youwei's confession made Chang Qishan He didn't believe it was completely left behind!

So he continued the interrogation, Tang Youwei is a soft bone, once the torture equipment was installed, Tang Youwei was scared to death before he was executed, thinking that he had already been recruited halfway, why bother to be so stubborn, uncle, uncle, I can't keep you ...

"My lord, spare my life, the Ninth Prince, spare my life!" Tang Youwei's face was pale, and he kowtowed quickly, "I said yes, I only swallowed 3000 taels of the 500 taels, and I hid the remaining 500 taels..."

"Why hide it?!" Yuan Heng asked sharply.

"Hide, hide..." Tang Youwei said, his face ashen ashes, "Send him quietly to the barracks..."

"Which barracks?" Yuan Heng's heart sank.

"That's... that's... the Yanzhou Army..."

really!

The Yanzhou army is Chang Qishan's direct descendant, what does Chang Qishan use money to support the army? !Is it to turn the entire army into a regular army? !

Is it to prepare for Yuanrui's fight for reserves in the future, or does he want to support himself and wait for the opportunity to rebel? !

If this matter is reported to his father, it will definitely attract thunder and wrath!Because this has touched the bottom line of imperial power!
