The Three Kingdoms' Need for a Master

Chapter 321
Qiao Chaorong smiled lightly and said, "It's like how rich you are. This is 4 taels. If you bring it back to our mansion, that's a lot of money."

The two rode their horses slowly towards the mansion.

Qin Fan said: "Didn't you listen to what Qiao Shishi said? Now the money is in Liyang County, Jiujiang County. That is not our territory. I don't think it's hard to work hard to get it back."

Qiao Chaorong was in a hurry, "This Qiao Shishi is really obsessed with money. Let him take care of such a big furniture factory, but he does this kind of thing. It's short-sighted. Husband, if the money doesn't come back this time, he will be sentenced to death and let him take care of it." It's done."

"He's from your Qiao mansion? Are you sure you're going to be sentenced to death?"

"See if you can come back with 4 taels. If you don't come back, you will be sentenced to death directly. Don't tell me." Qiao Chaorong said distressedly: "That's 4 taels. It's the money we worked hard for half a year."

Half a year?
Qin Fan approached her and said with a smile, "How much money does our family have now?"

"There's no money, it's all spent."

Qin Fan: "."

Qiao Chaorong is obviously a talented woman, but she also has the air of a philistine, which makes Qin Fan feel kind and amusing at the same time.

4 taels is indeed not a small amount.

Qin Fan was awakened by Qiao Chaorong early in the morning and asked him to interrogate Qiao Shishi.

In the official temple, when Qin Fan arrived, Zhang Ming was already busy.

Looking at the diligent Zhang Ming, Qin Fan was slightly moved, but also a little speechless to himself.

It's just that there is no way to do this, he is not the kind of chopsticks to be an official.

If it is really managing a place, it is probably not as good as Zhang Ming's.

"My lord, you are here." Zhang Ming hurriedly stood up to welcome Qin Fan when he saw him.

"Madam said 4 taels is too much, so don't worry. Doesn't this prompt me to ask for a debt?" Qin Fan smiled wryly and said, "Find someone to take me to interrogate Qiao Shishi."

Zhang Ming said with a smile: "Last night, I have already interrogated for the lord. These are some materials of the Wu family in Jiujiang."

After Qin Fan took the documents, Zhang Ming explained, "It may be difficult to get the money back directly."

Qin Fan flipped through it for a while and said, "What's so difficult?"

"If you want it back, you have to send Qiao Shishi to get it back. If you let them know that Qiao Shishi has been arrested, I'm afraid this account will become a muddled account."

Qin Fan suddenly asked: "Who is the prefect of Lujiang County?"

Zhang Ming coughed lightly, "I'm afraid that this person still has a grudge against the lord."

"Have a grudge against me?" Qin Fan asked puzzled, "I am so low-key, who can I have a grudge against?"

Zhang Ming pretended not to hear him clearly, "This man is Han Wei, Han Ji's father. He was transferred to be the prefect of Jiujiang County last year."

"It's him, Han Ji." Speaking of Han Ji, Qin Fan finally had some impressions, "It's the person we blackmailed last time."

Zhang Ming said embarrassingly: "It's him, why does he hate us at this moment."

Qin Fan sneered and said, "He wants to kill me, my son wants to kill me, I'm not even angry, why should he be angry?"

Zhang Ming remained silent.

"Since I'm an old acquaintance, it's easy to handle things." Qin Fan said: "Write him a letter in my name, asking him to ask the Wu family to spit out my money with interest."

Zhang Mingqi said: "This is also okay?"

"Why not?" Qin Fan said with a smile: "Shouyi, don't forget, where is our Lujiang army now?"

Zhang Ming thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his head, "My lord, do you want to?"

"I have this idea. But it depends on whether he cooperates or not. If he cooperates, he will win Jiujiang County. If he does not cooperate, it would be nice to get back 4 taels."

Zhang Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, yes, but I heard that Han Wei was sent by Yuan Shu. If we beat him, wouldn't it be a conflict with Yuan Shu?"

Qin Fan frowned slightly.

Yuan Shu's current territory is very wide, and Yangzhou has his territory, even on the surface it is his territory.

There are also Jingzhou and Yuzhou. At this time, Yuan Shu has many generals in his army, and he just looked at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, so he didn't attack him.

But having said that, Qin Fan himself is also very strange. He has almost occupied most of Yangzhou now, and Yuan Shu actually sent someone to appease him. Could it be that he plans to clean up this mess with his own strength, and then he comes to take the fruits?

In history, although Yangzhou belonged to Yuan Shu on the surface, it was indeed a mess inside. Liu Yao, Wang Lang, and Sun Ce fought in a mess.

The nominal governor of Yangzhou was not Yuan Shu, but Liu Yao, who was defeated by him last time. Thinking about it this way, Yuan Shu didn't attack him, which seemed to make sense.

"4 taels." Qin Fan thought for a while, and said, "Write to him first, and then wait for his answer. If you don't, then write to Yuan Shu and see what he says."

Zhang Ming's eyes lit up, he stroked his palm and said, "My lord is wise."

"The one who wants the money is called Gao Ming." Qin Fan said with a bitter face, "If I don't come back, my guy won't let me go."

Zhang Ming smiled and said nothing, feeling kind to Qin Fan for exposing his wife-phobia in front of him.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Ming said: "Qiao Shishi and those servants made a lot of money by rolling interest, about ten thousand taels. Do you want to send this money to the lord's mansion?"

Qin Fan refused: "No, the official temple will keep one thousand, and the rest will be transported to Shu County. Gu Xiang will distribute it."

Zhang Ming sighed: "My lord is holy."

"It's not my money, what does Sheng Ming say?" Qin Fan said, "I won't pay a penny of my 4 taels."

Zhang Ming smiled and shook his head, thinking, this is your own money, so why take it out?
Back at the gate of the mansion, Qiao Chaorong was waiting, and came out to greet her, "Husband, what did Qiao Shishi say?"

Qin Fan was amused and angry at the same time, "Madam, please be more reserved, the money is in other counties, can he still spit it out today? Look at you in a hurry."

Qiao Chaorong said: "They are all in other counties?"

Qin Fan nodded, "Not at all."

Qin Fan didn't intend to tell Qiao Chaorong about the 1 taels of silver, otherwise Qiao Chaorong would have to withhold a lot of it.

Qiao Chaorong frowned and said, "This Qiao Shishi, who gave him so much courage? He actually gave so much money to outsiders for safekeeping. If it is gone, who will he turn to?"

"It's usually the people who are close to you," Qin Fan said, "But sometimes the closer the people are, the more they will kill them."

Qiao Chaorong sighed, "Do you want the money back?"

Qin Fan said: "It's more than half sure, don't put your mind on 4 taels of silver, or just come back."

Qiao Chaorong pouted and ignored him.

Qin Fan looked amused, chased after him, and said, "It's not easy to get the 4 taels of silver, or we'll have to fight again."

Qiao Chaorong really stopped and said, "Want to fight again?"
