Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

In Wang Hongfu's opinion, Wang Wencheng's money must have been transferred out and hidden in an unknown place.

His evil deeds will be exposed sooner or later, so it is normal for him to prepare a retreat in advance.

If it were him, he would do the same.

So Wang Hongfu now wants to know where the money is.

Wang Wencheng took Zhang Sheng's confession and began to read it.

It records what Zhang Sheng did and what Wang Wencheng asked him to do, in great detail, and even some things that Zhang Sheng did not participate in are written down.

"Tell me, at this point, atonement for your sins is your only way out.

You have to think about your family too."

Wang Hongfu advised.

"In... in Yanqi, cousin, I bought a big house in Yanqi and put all my money in Yanqi."

Wang Wencheng explained helplessly.

"Yanqi?"

Wang Hongfu was stunned. It turned out that he was not in the Tang Dynasty.

"You are so foolproof that you are hiding in another country. Please hand over the address and title deed.

I will report this to His Royal Highness Prince Ji when I return, and it will be considered as your redemption."

"The title deed is with my wife."

Wang Wencheng said truthfully.

Wang Hongfu nodded and had Wang Wencheng taken away again.

“I never thought that Wang Wencheng actually hid most of his wealth in Yanqi.

Manager Wang, do you want to send someone to get the money back?"

The guard squad leader looked at Wang Wencheng's back and came to Wang Hongfu.

"Don't move yet. Since Wang Wencheng dared to leave his money there, it means it is safe.

One million strings of cash, we don’t know whether it is gold or copper coins.

If we go there rashly, it will be difficult for us to transport such a large sum of money back to the Tang Dynasty with our own capabilities.

We should go back and report to His Royal Highness Prince Ji and let him make the decision.

The journey to Yanqi is long, and to escort one million strings of cash, a large number of guards are needed.

I'm afraid that the people from the Ashina tribe are not enough.

Moreover, the impact of the army entering another country is something you and I cannot afford."

Wang Hongfu shook his head. He didn't have the ability to go to other countries to withdraw such a large sum of money.

Yanqi is now dependent on the Western Turks and its relationship with the Tang Dynasty is not very harmonious. If we bring people in rashly, it will cause misunderstanding.

This will affect the current situation, and they cannot afford it.

After hearing what Wang Hongfu said, the squad leader of the guards felt that it made sense. He was just a squad leader who had received some education.

Compared with the generals above, he is still not good enough.

"Captain Sun, have everyone load all the valuables onto the car. I'm going to get the title deed. We'll set off back to Xizhou Prefecture tomorrow morning."

The captain of the guards received the order, and Wang Hongfu went to the back house.

~~~~~~~~~

At dawn the next day, Wang Hongfu and Ashina Liang set out for Xizhou with a large army.

However, before going to Xizhou, Wang Hongfu went to the workshop first.

Amid the horror of all the workers, Wang Hongfu announced that the evil forces headed by Wang Wencheng had been eradicated.

All the workers can go home because the workshop in Prince Ji's Mansion will be temporarily closed.

But before leaving, I want to record how long I have been working here.

There is a roster here, so everyone's information is clear.

Wang Hongfu told these people that once the workshop in Prince Ji's Mansion resumed operations, he would make up for the money they had owed over the years.

They also promised that if they wanted to continue working, their wages would increase, and if they didn't want to work anymore, Prince Ji's Mansion would not make things difficult for them.

This news made all the craftsmen in the workshop burst into tears, and some even knelt on the ground to thank the gods.

Some of them lay on the ground and cried loudly.

The workers who lost their loved ones cried even harder.

Wang Hongfu closed all the workshops, including the one opened by Wang Wencheng himself.

All the workers were released.

Only a few craftsmen were left to guard the workshop, and these people also volunteered to stay after Wang Hongfu asked them.

Of course, it also has something to do with the generous compensation given by Wang Hongfu.

Wang Hongfu was not afraid that these workers would not come back. After all, as long as the initial wages were restored, many people would be willing to work.

It just takes some time to teach.

King Ji once said that there are many people in this world who are willing to give in to a bowl of rice, but there are even more people who need a bowl of rice.

Let those who are aloof be aloof, they are nothing but a joke.

They don't do it, but there are many people vying to do it.

People have to adapt to the world, the world has no right to adapt to people.

Don't think of yourself as someone who changes the world, because people who change the world don't complain about the world.

Wang Hongfu has managed the Ji Wangfu's assets for so many years and has a deep understanding of this.

The educated people look down on the merchants, but they have trouble even getting enough to eat, while the merchants live a life of luxury.

In the end, he had no choice but to copy books and write letters for others and make a living by selling calligraphy and paintings, which he called "character".

Wang Hongfu was standing in a high position and found these people simply ridiculous.

Wang Hongfu arranged everything, including arranging Ma Wenchang to work in a weaving workshop, and Ma Wenchang's sister was also rescued.

Fortunately, it was not ruined.

Ma Wenchang was very grateful and volunteered to look after the workshop with his sister.

Wang Hongfu knew that they were homeless and their land had long been occupied by others.

So we just let them stay in the workshop for a while.

Wang Hongfu arranged a few more people to guard them together and left some money for them to live on.

Afterwards, Wang Hongfu led a large army and continued to march towards Xizhou Prefecture.

Two days later, in the early morning, the sun covered the earth and the city gate of Xizhou Prefecture had just opened.

The guards on the city wall discovered a large team heading towards Xizhou in the distance.

The general guarding the city did not close the city gate because it was on the east side, in the direction of the Tang Dynasty.

This place is still a long way from the border and there should be no enemies invading.

However, he still ordered the guards to be on alert.

"Gada~Gada~"

A horse broke away from the team and arrived at the city gate first.

"Who is the general guarding the gate?"

The man on the horse was dressed in armor and looked majestic.

"I am, who are you?"

The general guarding the city came over. He was wearing armor and must be a soldier.

Because Tang Dynasty armor is a prohibited item.

The guard dismounted and saluted.

“Greetings, General. I am a guard of Prince Ji’s Palace. This time, I am here on the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Ji to protect the chief treasurer of Prince Ji’s Palace as he comes to Xizhou for business.

The team behind is.

Because I brought some valuable items, I needed some guards to enter the city.

Please inform the envoy, General."

"Do you have a guide?"

When the gate-guarding general heard that they were guards from Prince Ji's mansion, he was no longer so arrogant.

"Yes, this is the pass, and this is my token, and this is the token of His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

The guards took out the relevant documents and Prince Ji's order.

The pass to the Prince’s Palace is different from the ordinary ones. It is for official business, similar to a business trip.

The styles are very different.

The gatekeeper general took it, looked at it, and said something.

"Wait, I will report to the envoy."
