After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

Zhang Xiaoshuai said hurriedly: "Since it is recorded in my account, then it is naturally my debt, and it has nothing to do with you, sir."

Seeing the man in front of him being so reasonable, Fu Yutang was very satisfied. He said "hmm" softly and said in a calm voice: "It's just that the man has been detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice now. No one is allowed to visit him. Your silver..."

"That's easy. I can give you the money I owe you, and you can help me pass it on to him."

"Well... okay." Fu Yutang agreed reluctantly, "It's forty-one taels in total. I'll round off the difference for you. Just give me fifty taels."

Zhang Xiaoshuai: “…”

This is the first time I have seen this kind of rounding method.

The corners of his mouth twitched twice, suppressing the complaints in his heart, Zhang Xiaoshuai resignedly took out his purse from his pocket, took out a fifty-liang silver note and handed it to her with both hands, "Thank you for your trouble, Master Fu."

"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite." Fu Yutang took the banknote and said to him, "Once the debt is paid off, Mr. Zhang will have nothing to do with them. I am happy for Mr. Zhang from the bottom of my heart. Of course, if the emperor asks, I will say the same thing. Let's just keep this little thing as a little secret between Mr. Zhang and me."

Zhang Xiaoshuai understood the hidden meaning in her words and knew that his other half of his head was saved, so he was immediately overjoyed. He threw out compliments as if they were free.

Because it was too fake, Fu Yutang didn't like it at all. She waved her hand impatiently and interrupted him directly, "Sir Zhang, isn't he going to the palace? Go quickly, it's getting dark."

"Yes, yes. I'll take my leave." Zhang Xiaoshuai replied awkwardly and turned to leave.

Fu Yutang put the banknotes in his arms, then called Yan Zhen and Qi Shang in. He was about to lead them to the main hall, but when he turned around, he met Wang Dagui's admiring eyes.

"My Lord, you are truly amazing!"

"Ok?"

Fu Yutang looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

Yan Zhen and Qi Shang also stopped and looked at him with confusion.

Wang Dagui chuckled and gave Fu Yutang a look that said, "Sir, stop pretending." "I was wondering why you borrowed money from Shi Dadui but put it in the Jingzhao Yin's account. I never thought you were playing a big game!"

Fu Yutang: "Huh?"

what are you saying?

Wang Dagui had a look on his face that showed he had seen through her. "When the lord asked Shi Dadui for the silver for A Niu, was he thinking of tying Jingzhao Yin and Xiang Wang together?"

That's why he deliberately asked for money in public. Since Shi Dadui pretended to be a Jingzhao government official, it was difficult for him to refuse. In addition, Fu Yutang's words...

Once Shi Dadui's true identity is revealed, in the eyes of people who do not know the truth, it will appear that Shi Dadui from the Prince of Xiang's Mansion has had a lot of dealings with the Jingzhao Yin!

Otherwise, why would Fu Yutang say that? And why didn't Shi Dadui refute it?

You know, that’s more than forty taels of silver!

Maybe it was nothing in the eyes of the rich, but in the eyes of most ordinary people, it was a huge sum of money! And Shi Dadui was just an ordinary guard. If he was not absolutely sure that he could get it back, he would definitely not lend it out casually.

Regarding the matter of borrowing silver, everyone can testify, whether it is the people watching nearby, Shi Dadui who borrowed the silver, or Aniu who collected the silver.

Even if Jingzhao Yin tried his best to deny it later, he would not be able to explain it clearly with these three witnesses present.

Moreover, after this incident, Fu Yutang completely took control of the initiative - the Jingzhao Yin was firmly in her hands.

As long as Fu Yutang insists that he participated in her murder, then he did.

If you say he doesn't have it, then he doesn't have it.

Anyway, it can be big or small, it depends on how Fu Yutang handles it.

At the same time, it can also test whether Jingzhao Yin was involved in the King of Xiang's attempt to kill her.

If he had participated, he would have definitely asked King Xiang for help first.

If he was not involved, he would come to Fu Yutang and beg him to show mercy and sever his relationship with the King of Xiang.

Judging from the situation just now, Jingzhao Yin was at best a bystander in this matter. Therefore, Fu Yutang did not punish him and directly asked him for fifty taels of silver.

"...Except for the 41 taels that were returned to Shi Dadui, the remaining 9 taels can be regarded as a lesson for his poor management. Sir, is my guess correct?"

After Wang Dagui made a serious analysis, he looked at Fu Yutang intently, with a look of begging for praise.

Fu Yutang: "..."

No, she didn't think that much!

At that time, she was thinking that Jingzhao Yin's lax management caused her to be hunted down by King Xiang and had no money to buy buns. He had to give her some compensation for mental damage, so she said to put it on Jingzhao Yin's account.

Wang Dagui said so much, but only the last sentence is the correct answer.

Ugh.

It was also difficult for him.

Looking at Wang Dagui, Fu Yutang seemed to see himself doing reading comprehension in school.

After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and patted Wang Dagui on the shoulder, saying insincerely: "Great! You know everything I'm thinking."

Wang Dagui said proudly: "Of course, I am your confidant!"

Yan Zhen and Qi Shang were amazed after listening to Wang Dagui's analysis. They thought to themselves, "Brother Tang is really amazing. Others take one step and look three steps ahead, but Brother Tang takes one step and already sees ten steps ahead!"

No wonder both the late emperor and the new emperor were very fond of Brother Tang.

Fu Yutang had no idea what the two were thinking. After trying to sincerely praise Wang Dagui, he saw Yan Zhen and Qi Shang still standing there stupidly. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you planning to be my door gods?"

The two of them came back to their senses, looked at each other, and hurriedly took two steps forward. Without Fu Yutang saying anything, and without any extra politeness, he said, "We are here to help you tidy up your mansion," and walked to the backyard as if he was familiar with the place, rolled up his sleeves and started to work.

One person went to the kitchen to boil water for cooking, while the other person carried a bucket of water and a rag and started cleaning the house.

The movements were so swift that people who didn't know would have thought that the two were servants of the Fu Mansion.

Seeing these two people working so hard, even a thick-skinned person like Fu Yutang felt a little embarrassed, and quickly said to stop them: "How can you let guests come to help clean the house? Hurry up and leave it alone. I will ask Dagui to buy a few servants to clean it up later."

Hearing this, Qi Shang paused and looked at her inconspicuously. In the past, Tang Ge would have been eager to use them like mules and would not have been so polite. Moreover, Tang Ge would not call him "Qi Zuo Shilang".

What happened to Brother Tang?

Qi Shang was full of questions, but seeing Yan Zhen squatting in front of the stove boiling water with a normal expression, he could only purse his lips and continue to suppress the confusion in his heart, and said to Fu Yutang: "The pawnshop closes at 15:00 on the twentieth hour, and it is already 15:00 on the twentieth hour. If Brother Tang wants to buy a servant today, he must leave now."

Fu Yutang understood, and generously took out a silver note and handed the matter over to Wang Dagui.
