Chapter 200
Guan Yi hurried into the palace, and soon returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of War with a dark face.

The one who turned black like him was Yongchanghou.

The 25 taels of silver Yongchang Hou Mansion can naturally get it out, but it will take a long time to raise money.

It's just that the Yongchang Hou Mansion is not prepared to pay.They intend to find an excuse to delay and play by ear.Therefore, no silver was prepared.

However, at noon, Zuo Fu suddenly came to the door with Qian Duoduo, the shopkeeper of the wealthy gambling house, and put the betting slip in front of him without saying a word.

Yongchanghou suddenly panicked.

He stuffed some money to Zuo Fu, said good things again, and asked for a few days' grace.

"I'm willing to gamble and admit defeat. The silver taels must be settled within twelve hours. Master Hou can figure it out."

Zuo Fu gave him face very much, left these words and got up to leave.

Raise 25 silver in twelve hours?

The Marquis of Yongchang wants to cry but has no tears, even if he is sold, it will not be enough.

But it is necessary to raise enough money.

What they owe now is the treasury or the emperor's silver.

All of a sudden, the huge Marquis Mansion and even its in-laws far and near moved into action.Everyone gritted their teeth and took out the valuable gold and silver jewelry in their hands, and bought them at a low price from the shop Zhuangzi.

It's just that the Yongchang Hou's Mansion is a seated Marquis's mansion after all, and the mansions don't see each other when they look up, so everyone feels embarrassed to grab it first.

Of course, many people also inquired about the deadline given by Zuo Fu, and silently waited for the Marquis of Yongchang to be desperate, and to lower the prices of the things in his hand a few more times.

Xiao Gang is not that old and cunning.

He didn't care whether the things or the shop that Marquis Yongchang took out were useful, anyway, he happily went to grab them.He even bought several shops, farms and horse farms from his elder brother.

Those were Xiao Rui's deceased mother's dowry, so angry that his elder brother almost fainted.

And Ren Ning is just a small military general from the fifth rank, who has no qualifications and no way to rob the Yongchang Hou Mansion.But he borrowed a sum of money to go out, and then got a stack of land deeds from Xiao Gang.

Another day later, the Ministry of War finally made a plaque for Ren Ning's family, and Guan Yi personally led a team to deliver it to the door with drums and gongs.

Ren Ning received the news and greeted him outside the gate early with his family and friends.

He was dumbfounded: "Master Shangshu is busy with business, how can I bother you to deliver it to your door personally."

As he spoke, Ren Ning's eyes fell on the four-foot-long plaque.

Soon his eyelids trembled.

The plaque was covered with a layer of bright yellow silk, so I couldn't see what was written for a while.

Guan Yi looked at Ren Ning with a complicated expression.

Recently, he has indeed a lot of official duties in his hands. He has to sort out the materials of more than 300 civil servants and generals in the south, and also dispatches the guards from various counties to quell the civil unrest in the west.

The entire military office is busy day and night.

It's just that Emperor Changxing scolded him several times these days, Guan Yi didn't dare to neglect.

The two chatted politely.

After burning incense to offer sacrifices to heaven, amidst the lively gongs, drums and congratulations, several people put the plaque upright on the top of the door lintel.

crackling.

Firecrackers sounded.

The two masters, Ren Ning and Yingpan, stood on either side, one on the left and one on the right.With a light pull, the bright yellow cloth fell down.

Everyone looked up.

General's House!
In the sunlight, three large golden characters gleamed.

With sharp eyes, Ren Ning could see the difference in this plaque at a glance.

Compared with other mansions, there is a square imperial seal above the center of the plaque in front of you.Take a closer look, and it says "Imperial Seal of Changxing Imperial Brush Treasure".

It turned out that this was a plaque written by Emperor Changxing's imperial pen.

Except for Guan Yi, everyone else was in an uproar and quickly saluted again.

After another toss, Ying Pan gave out gifts, and Ren Ning sent some good tea from Wei Junqian to Guan Yi.All the talents in the Ministry of War left one after another.

"It's actually the Yuci General's Mansion." Li Hebai's eyes turned red with envy, "Old Ren, you're going to lose your job."

Ren Ning had already recalled it, and shook his head with a smile: "There's nothing to be envious of, it cost 25 silver in exchange."

Everyone was stunned.

whee.

Yingpan laughed and said, "To be exact, it's 1 taels of silver."

1 taels of silver to change the name of the Yuci mansion, or to change the stability of the mansion in the future, will definitely not lose money or even make a lot of money.

Fortunately, it is the Marquis of Yongchang.

In order to raise 25 taels of silver within twelve hours, their family's property shrank by at least 30 taels.None of the partners of Regal Casino, including the treasurer Qian Duoduo, has ever appeared again.

Two days later, the Third Division began to publicly trial the civil servants and generals of Nanfeng, which attracted countless people to go to Dali Temple to watch.

Ren Ning also went to see it once.

At that time, it was Nanfeng Prime Minister Pei Ruhai who was interrogating.

The verdict issued by the head of the third department finally sentenced Pei's nine clans to be punished. Pei Ruhai himself was slashed with thousands of knives, and his corpse was raped for seven days.

With the cheers of the people, Ren Ning turned and left.

Just take it as a farewell to this sinful old fellow.

Back at the General's Mansion, there were more than [-] people standing in the front yard.

"I've seen the general!"

Seeing Ren Ning, a hundred of them lined up in a hurry.

These are disabled veterans who have retired from the Starfall Legion.The injuries on their bodies were relatively light, and their movements might be somewhat inconvenient, but being the guards of the General's Mansion is not a problem.

Others are family members of the hundred soldiers.

Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

After these brothers came, their house was no longer empty, and finally looked like a general's mansion.

Arrange lodging, set rules...

After a while, Ren Ning recruited Miao Xia.

"Brothers, this is my foster brother. He is too young to join the army for the time being. We will return to the Legion after a while, and everyone will train him well for me."

"You don't have to be polite, just make him a qualified Starfall soldier."

Everyone responded with a smile, and led Miao Xia away happily.

But Ren Ning and Yingpan transferred to Zhongyongbo's mansion.

In the main hall, there are more than ten acquaintances sitting or standing in the main hall.

Gu Shengnan, the caravan of the Gu Family, was also among them.

Ren Ning looked up.

There were two people standing behind Gu Shengnan.One of them is the old butler Gu Fugui, while the other is a dark-skinned and thick-set man.

Ren Ning felt vaguely familiar.

He thought about it carefully, and was quickly taken aback, "Are you an iron tree?"

When sending Ling back to his hometown, this man followed the convoy through several counties with only a pair of feet without even straw sandals, and even made Lei Er, who was a banker for the first time, lose a lot of money from his boss.

"I've seen General Ren." The man smiled honestly, "I'm Tieshu."

Gu Shengnan smiled and said, "Tieshu is a rare good man. We got married a while ago, and now he is my husband, Gu Shengnan."

Gee!

"This time the iron tree is really blooming." Lei Er had been gnawing on the beans on the table, and suddenly said this coldly.

Although he has silver in his hands now, Lei Er still feels a little bit brooding when he thinks about the money and face he lost because of the iron tree last year.

"Congratulations." Ren Ning gave him another look, and quickly congratulated Yingpan, "I wish you two a happy marriage for a hundred years and a baby soon."

They giggled and said, "I came out in a hurry and didn't bring a gift. I'll make it up for you later."

Gu Shengnan didn't care either, and nodded yes.

The two sides chatted a few more words about the recent situation before talking about the business.

"Second Young Master," Gu Shengnan stood up and saluted Xiao Gang, "Sheng Nan decided to start the Gu family's caravans on the north-south route from next month."
