Chapter 121
Fang Zhe was invited to the main seat, and his servants brought hot tea briskly.

The short and fat man quickly introduced himself. This man is Ji Xiuwen, the general staff of the Northern Weifu.

Ji Xiuwen looked at Fang Zhe with a smile on his face and said, "My lord, can I have a look at the Northern Wei Yuyin?"

Ji Xiuwen was worried that Fang Zhe was a fake, so he wanted to test Fang Zhe's northern Weiyu seal, which was also part of the handover ceremony.

"Of course it's no problem." Fang Zhe said lightly, "But let the rest of the mansion come over first, and finish everything at once."

The other people Fang Zhe mentioned were of course not the low-level warriors in the mansion, but those who could speak in the mansion now.

He didn't take up the post as the northern lieutenant, but it didn't mean that the northern lieutenant's mansion would stop functioning. Naturally, a group of people maintained it. In fact, as far as he knew, Liangzhou northern lieutenant had no northern lieutenant for nearly half a year.

"My lord, five days ago the Northern Wei Mansion was attacked by the snow thief Xue Niefang. The five deputy palace masters in the mansion have followed the king to find Xue Nie Fang. Now the mansion is afraid..." Ji Xiuwen explained: " Please wait a moment, my lord, I will let the rest of the mansion come to see you."

"What king's book?" Fang Zhe asked in a deep voice.

Ji Xiuwen was silent for a while and said, "It's Wang Yunchi, Master Wang, who was sent by the inner city of Liangzhou City to assist the Weifu in the north."

Wang Yunchi?
Of course Fang Zhe remembered this person, this Wang Yunchi intercepted and killed himself outside Heitu County in his previous life, it was hard for him to forget.

The so-called assistance, even if Fang Zhe thought about it with his toes, he understood that it was to seize other people's power.

Fang Zhe said with a light smile: "It turned out to be him, it's really a coincidence, but is it in accordance with the rules for the king to come here?"

Ji Xiuwen's eyes drooped slightly, and he explained softly: "According to the rules established above, the Prefect's Mansion can send special envoys to supervise the work of the Northern Wei's Mansion."

In other words, this was legal. Even Fang Zhe, the Northern Lieutenant, could not justifiably tell Wang Yunchi to get out.

As for the five sub-runes going out with the master Wang to search for Xue Nie Fang, that would be even more nonsense, it's just that he didn't want to see him, the northern captain.

This is a big blow to him!

Fang Zhe understood in his heart, his face became calmer, and he asked instead: "Five days ago, the northern Wei's mansion was attacked by Xue Niefang, were you there?"

"Yes." Ji Xiuwen had a bitter expression on his face, "Those people rushed in very quickly. We didn't have time to react, and they killed some people. Later, they robbed a lot of things, and before we could react, they all ran away. .”

"Where are the masters in the house?" Fang Zhe asked.

"They all happened to be out." Ji Xiuwen lowered his head and said.

"Oh, they're all out." Fang Zhe nodded slightly, "Staff Ji, have you lost any valuables in the mansion?"

The treasury of the mansion was ransacked, including talismans, utensils and mysterious coins, which were all removed. "Ji Xiuwen replied: "They have a lot of people, and it is easy to remove our things. "

My treasury has been emptied...

The corners of Fang Zhe's eyes twitched, and he sneered, "That means there is nothing left, so who should be responsible for this matter?"

If he took office, there is no doubt that he is responsible, but he has not taken office yet, so is he also responsible?
He arrived on time within the deadline and was not late, so the responsibility could never be his responsibility, so he wanted to see what tricks Wang Yunchi and the others could play?

"My lord, this is an accident." Ji Xiuwen said: "The three patrol battalion commanders in charge of guarding the city are responsible for this time. Because of their negligence, Xue Niefang sneaked into the city with the snow bandits. , has been resigned, and the warrior guarding the treasury was also killed in the riot."

"We reported to the prefect's mansion, and the prefect's mansion said that the matter has come to an end, so the rest of the people will not be held accountable."

Fang Zhe's expression became a little subtle, that is to say, the matter is over?

"How to solve the problem of the treasury being emptied?" Fang Zhe asked the most crucial point, "Will the prefect's mansion promise to solve it?"

"No." Ji Xiuwen shook his head and said: "The new prefect said that no one will be held accountable, but the problem of evacuating the treasury can only be solved by the northern Weifu. The reason is that the northern Weifu is self-sufficient in treasury. Liangzhou The city will not solve it..."

"As far as I know, the summer tax has been collected, right?" Fang Zhe interrupted with a slightly condensed face.

Taxes are collected twice a year. If the collection has already been completed, it is impossible to collect it again. Tianliang Prefecture is already poor, and forced collection may cause serious problems, but if it is not collected, how will food and salaries be paid?

This is not a small amount of money. The patrol team in the outer city, the warriors in the northern Weifu and some auxiliary personnel are all paid by the treasury.

"Yes, we have just completed the collection." Ji Xiuwen said: "But don't worry, my lord, the problem of emptying the treasury has been solved."

already solved?
Fang Zhe said: "How to solve it?"

Ji Xiuwen hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Wang Yunchi couldn't bear to see us starving, so he paid for this month's food, salary and part of the material expenses out of his own pocket."

After Fang Zhe listened, he was silent for a while and said with a smile: "Awesome, then I wonder how many tricks he has come up with?"

"Five million taels of silver!" Ji Xiuwen replied.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, Fang Kai's eyes turned green, and he took out 500 million taels of silver as soon as he said he would take it. This is really not ordinary courage.

"Then this trick should not be repaid, right?" Fang Zhe asked again.

"Master Wang said no." Ji Xiuwen said, "This is donated by Master Wang to the Northern Wei Mansion for free."

"Then I have to thank Master Wang well." Fang Zhe said with a smile.

After asking about this, Fang Zhe asked about other things in the house, and then asked Ji Xiuwen to arrange accommodation for him and others.

As the owner of the palace, he naturally wants to live in the northern Weifu.

After the people left, Fang Kai couldn't wait to prepare for some development, but saw Fang Zhe shaking his head again and again, so he asked
"Azhe, this Wang Yunchi gave us 500 million taels of silver, which is quite a lot. It's equivalent to the income of our Escort Bureau for two years. Why do you still look dissatisfied?"

"The problem is that Wang Yunchi filled in the shortfall in the treasury." Fang Zhe said helplessly, "He didn't have such good intentions. He made this plan just to buy people's hearts."

Even this plan may not be Wang Yunchi's own. It may be the one that was robbed. The so-called big thief Xue Nie Fang may be just a show of guarding and stealing.

Fang Zhe didn't say these words, that's because those who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand, like Fang Kai, it's better not to say it, it's not good to spread it.

After Fang Kai listened to Fang Zhe's explanation, he coughed lightly and said, "I knew this a long time ago. Then Wang Yunchi is willing to use this plan to tide over the difficulties for the northern Weifu. Of course he would not be so kind. He It’s all about buying people’s hearts.”
