Looking at the brocade box in his hand, thoughts flashed through Ye Chen's mind. No wonder the gifts were robbed in the plot, and Lu Yifeng was not punished. It turned out that it was just a concealment of his head.

Compared to one million taels, only 30,000 taels are really insignificant.

"The official is to pay a visit to Shangxian!" Lu Yifeng knelt down and said, "I wonder which yamen you are from Shangxian?"

"If this commander does his own business, he must report to the government office?"

"How dare the lower-ranking officials? Please ask Shangxian, can you tell me how to be an official?"

"Please give me advice!"

"The first thing to do when you are an official is to have a variety of flowers and plant less thorns. If you have a respect for this million tael, you will not only offend King Pingxi, but also offend so many officials in the capital. It is not a problem to make enemies occasionally, but there are hundreds of trees in a tree. There are only one or two people. Just move your mouth. Even if you have a huge backstage, it will be useless!"

"I wonder if Lord Lu has any good idea!"

"The King of Pingxi is in charge of Yunnan. He has many military and political affairs on weekdays, and there are many bandits in the country. Thanks to the princes and ministers of Beile in the capital, the prince ordered his subordinates to offer one million taels of silver to thank the ministers for their kindness."

Lu Yifeng paused and continued, "I don't want the remnants of the Prince Mu's mansion to be stubborn and want to rob him. The subordinates thanked Shangxian for their help. In addition, the 50,000 taels that should have been presented to the Lord, a total of 100,000 taels of respect is given to him. Please take care of Shangxian!"

"Hundreds of thousands of taels?"

Ye Chen showed a hint of playfulness in his eyes, but he felt quite emotional in his heart. No one who can get up from the officialdom is simple!

Lu Yifeng, an official who only knows how to bully the market and is scattered, but his scheming at this moment is also quite powerful. He has seen that Ye Chen has the intention to swallow this money, so he first uses deterrence and respect in his words. If it were someone else, he might have bowed his head and accepted the 100,000 taels, and the big things have turned into small things.

"That's right, but it still depends on the people and things!" Ye Chen sneered, "Maybe the officials of the Sixth Courtyard dare not be disrespectful to King Pingxi, but what will happen if the consequences of offending King Pingxi? I ​​wonder if Lord Lu can tell me!"

Lu Yifeng said, "The King of Pingxi guards Yunnan and Guizhou provinces with a high position and a powerful position. Once he impeaches the emperor and extinguishes the prince's anger, then Shangxian must be..."

"Haha..." Ye Chen suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter subsided, and he said in a deep voice, "Kerler, tell him, how is Kangxi treating this commander in his heart!"

"Hate to the core!" Kerler said, "I wish I could punish the Lord!"

The punishment of slaughter is the most cruel punishment in Lingchi. It will cut the human body by 3,600 knife, only oil but not blood, making people die in endless pain and howl.

"What!" Lu Yifeng's expression suddenly became stagnant. The emperor hated someone to the core, and then the nine clans of this person would be killed together, but this person not only lived well, but also ranked as a second-rank high-ranking official...

(Can he be the commander of the personal army, Eguzha, the man who dares to scold Queen Xiaozhuang/Gong interfere in politics!)

At this moment, a vague premonition arose in Lu Yifeng's heart.

Kerler continued, "As for the officials above the fourth rank in the capital, there are many people, but one hundred deer can't scare a tiger! If King Pingxi can personally lead his troops into the Forbidden City, then my master will be crushed to pieces!"

If King Pingxi can lead his troops into the Forbidden City, then he will be the emperor. He will naturally be able to deal with Ye Chen, but is this possible!

"How could it be!" Lu Yifeng's eyes became a little hollow.

"Where are the other silver?" Ye Chen shouted suddenly,

"At..." As soon as he said that, Lu Yifeng woke up and glared at Ye Chen, losing the millions of salutes. He could only die when he returned to Yunnan, and no longer be cautious in his words and actions.

Ye Chen chuckled lightly,

"why are you laughing!"

"It seems that my guess is good, it is indeed more than one million taels!" Ye Chen looked at Kerler and said, "Have you searched carefully!"

"Back to the master, I searched inside and out," Kerler said,

Ye Chen was silently recalling the situation before, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if the guard leader's final behavior was a bit strange.

After Mu Jiansheng held Lu Yifeng hostage, he had already shown that he was just seeking money. Why did he still run away? If he was nervous, he should have rushed towards Lu Yifeng instead of turning around and leaving.

Unless he has something more expensive than a million taels!

"Have you brought back the bodies of those nine guards?" Ye Chen asked Kerler.

Kerler replied, "I have brought them back and placed them outside. I will wait for the master to order them to cremate them together in the fire!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yifeng's face suddenly changed.

Ye Chen said, "Let's search again, don't let go of the mezzanine of clothes and hats!"

"Yes!" Kerle responded,

Just at this moment, a voice sounded outside the door, "Sir, the slave guard boss Bo Jichi is asking for a visit if you have something to do!"

"Come in!"

As soon as Bojichi entered the main hall, he said, "Sir, find a ticket from the underwear mezzanine of the guard leader!"

"As a vote?" Ye Chen asked in confusion.

"It's Wanyong pawnshop's ticket!" After hesitating for a while, Bo Jichi said again, "Sir, behind this pawnshop is the dry corps of Ebilong Ezhongtang!"

Ye Chen immediately ordered, "Bojichi, ask Tulunsheng to redeem the things. If the pawnshop dares to make things difficult, he will smash his shop! Remember, you must not show your identity!"

"Sister obeys the order!" Tulunsheng bowed and retreated.

Bang! Lu Yifeng's body became weak and he finally collapsed without any power. At this time, his expression was gray and his face was desperate.

...

In the lobby, Ye Chen opened the brocade box, took out twenty silver notes and handed them to Kerler, and said, "Except for all the brothers, the rest will be given to you for your family income!"

"Master, this..." Kerler stretched out his hand and stopped halfway.

"You'll take it!"

"Thank you, Master Long!" Kerle was about to kneel down, but when he thought of Ye Chen's rules, he endured it. After calming down, he hesitated, "Master, this matter is quite a big deal and alarmed the infantry yamen. I'm afraid it won't be hidden for long, if Ao Zhongtang asks, then..."

Ye Chen nodded. He took the risk of robbing the money for later coups. But if Wu Sangui impeached him, all officials of the fourth rank and above reported together, and each person could drown him.

But as Kerler said, a hundred deer can't scare a tiger,

Moreover, he bet that Wu Sangui would not turn against Oboi for these millions of taels of silver. Compared with the throne of King Pingxi, money was nothing but something outside his body.

"In addition, Lu Yifeng is also a disaster!" Kerler said again,

But everything is inconsistent. If this matter really starts, how much silver will be lost in the Pingxi Palace? If there is no evidence of personal evidence, the two sides will be able to argue in the end. Moreover, Wu Sangui still asks Yu Aobai for help, so naturally he dare not force each other too much!

As long as you make up for the Oboi portion, nothing will happen!

Ye Chen seemed to remember something and chuckled, "Kerle, I heard that many people die in the Shenxingsi Prison every year. There is a method that is related to the prison guards, called sacking!"

People who are crushed to death by sacks are caused by blood stasis and qi obstruction. There are neither external injuries nor internal diseases. Not to mention doctors, even the best coroner can't detect the cause of death.

However, not everyone can do this. The sacrifice of the sack is related to the prisoner's body fat and thinness. If it is heavy, the person will bleed in all the orifices. If it is light, it will not be able to kill people.

"Master, the master, the golden eyes, the slave does know this method. Master, the master, wants..." Kerler said slowly,

"Let the Ministry of Personnel appoint another magistrate of Qujing!"

"Slave obeys the order!"

...

Half an hour later, Tulunsheng returned to the army's office, holding a brocade box in his hand. The brocade box was carved from high-quality red sandalwood, exuding a slight fragrance, calming his mind,

"Sir, it is indeed as you think. The pawnshop owner did not redeem the first time, saying that he had to meet people before he could redeem it. Even if the slave smashed half of his shop, he would not agree! If the slave had not killed a few people and was about to wash his shop, he would not have taken it out!"

(He is a ruthless master!)

Ye Chen nodded secretly in his heart. Only Tulunsheng was the most ruthless and acted without regard for the consequences. He even killed Xiaozhuang's grandson as soon as he said he could kill him, which shows his fierceness!

"Sir!" Tulunsheng presented the brocade box to Ye Chen,

There was a seal on the brocade box with the words "Pingxi King Seal" written on it. Under the seal is a simple small lock. Ye Chen gently weighed the box, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. With the keen perception of the pores, a very slight metal friction sound came from inside the brocade box.

There is also a mechanism! Ye Chen frowned slightly,

Once the lock is forcibly broken, it will definitely trigger the internal mechanism and destroy everything.

"Sir, Naqi seems to know some lock-opening methods, why not..." Looking at Ye Chen frowned and pondered, Tulunsheng suggested,

"Then call him here!" Ye Chen said,

"Yes!" Tulunsheng bowed and retreated.

After a while, Naqi walked into the lobby.

"Try it, can you open this lock!" Ye Chen pointed to the brocade box on the desk.

"yes!"

Naqi approached the table, took out a wire from the end of the braid, and inserted it into the keyhole, and started to provoke it regularly, and a slight sound of cracking sound was heard.

Crack! Half a quarter of an hour later, the small lock trembled and bounced into two pieces. Naqi took off the small lock and bowed out of the lobby.

Ye Chen gently opened the lid and saw a stack of thick silver notes, three hundred and ten thousand taels of promissory notes,

"Four million taels are enough!"

Ye Chen took out all the silver notes and put them in the nightmare mark. After thinking about it, he also took the red sandalwood brocade box.

"Sir, Aozhongtang sends someone to summon him, so that he can go and discuss matters with important things!" Just then, a few knocks sounded outside the door, and the voice of the deputy commander Shou Min came.
