The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 1408 Fan Zijin (25)

Qi Xiuyuan is a general in the west camp of Lizhou Road. He can independently guard Xingcheng Pass, which shows his ability.

Although he didn’t have the courage of General Yuan to help the people at the frontier, he could be considered to have strict military discipline. He never allowed his soldiers to harass the local people, let alone allow bandits to appear under his rule.

Therefore, in addition to fighting some small battles with the golden soldiers who fought in Caogu in Xingzhou Prefecture from time to time, they had to pay extra military taxes to support the army every year, and the people lived in peace.

The bandits around Dushan were not under Qi Xiuyuan’s jurisdiction.

Although he is seventeen and young, he also knows the rules of the officialdom, and he will never step over his hands when he is not supposed to manage it, so he used to always dislike those bandits, but he would not manage the territory of the Zhongying.

But now that his younger brother is being chased and killed by bandits, if Qi Xiuyuan can bear this anger, he will become a bastard.

So he asked the scouts to find out the situation of the bandits, and at the same time sent people to contact the general in the middle camp, and he wanted to suppress the bandits for them.

As a result, before the people who went to the middle camp came back, Qi Xiuyuan received a terrible news from the scouts.

“What did you say? The bandits said Haoran and the others were bandits, and they even stole 20,000 taels from their boss?”

The scout nodded solemnly, “However, this subordinate feels that this should be a slander from the bandits, let alone whether they have so many bank notes, even if they do, it is impossible for the young master and the cousin to get in touch with, let alone steal it.” , They should release this rumor to attract more people to intercept and kill the young master and them.”

“However,” the scout looked at the general cautiously, and said, “When I checked further down, I found that the young master and the cousin had done a lot of good deeds along the way, buying food along the way to help the refugees. Although there is no exact number, it is estimated There are also two to three thousand taels, or even more, and now the story of the two young masters is circulating on the official roads from north to south…”

Qi Xiuyuan was startled for a moment, then his expression darkened, and he asked, “What else?”

“Those Jianghu people have left the bandit camp in Dushan. It is said that they had conflicts before they left. It seems that it was because of the uneven distribution of spoils?”

Qi Xiuyuan sneered, “They hired those bandits to kill my brother, what’s the point?”

Thinking of the looted belongings of his younger brothers, Qi Xiuyuan’s expression twisted, and he waved his hands: “Continue to investigate, find out the terrain of Dushan, and the number of bandits, etc. If you have anything, go to the military advisor.”

Qi Xiuyuan turned around and strode to settle accounts with his younger brothers. These two brats must have kept the most important thing from him.

It’s just that he can’t even come up with two to three thousand taels. Where did these two brats get so much money?

The scout was also distressed, thirty thousand taels, how much is this. The two young masters think that there is too much money, so they can give it to the general. The general has recently been worried about delaying the military payment for the court.

At this time, Fan Zijin was happily chatting with Qi Haoran on the couch.

It’s rare to be so comfortable after running around for my life these days.

Fei Bai came in with two money bags, and said with a smile: “Fourth Young Master, Biao Young Master, the money I just took from the account, the pocket money the general told you, how much do you want to keep outside, and where do you put the rest?”

Qi Haoran immediately sat up and said happily, “Bring it to me to have a look.”

Fei Bai handed him the money bags, each containing five ingots of silver, each of which was twelve taels of silver.

The two of them had just lived penniless, and now looking at these fifty taels is like looking at a baby.

Qi Haoran touched the money with complicated emotions, and said, “It would be great if we don’t lose our ten thousand taels.”

Fan Zijin’s heart skipped a beat, and he drove out the doubtful Fei Bai, grabbed Qi Haoran’s ear and said anxiously: “We can’t talk about this anymore, we have kept the money theft secret…”

“What are you two muttering about?” Qi Xiuyuan stood at the door and squinted his eyes to look at them, “Is there something that you can’t say openly and insist on biting your ears?”

Fan Zijin was so frightened that he lay down on the kang, and said with a guilty conscience: “No, it’s nothing, Haoran has lice on his head, and I’m catching him.”

Qi Haoran nodded again and again, and brushed his hair with his hands, and said with a smile: “Yeah, yeah, I haven’t showered or washed my hair these days, it’s dirty, I didn’t clean it just now, and Where are the lice?”

Qi Xiuyuan snorted coldly, dragged a chair over and sat down opposite them, and said, “Just now when the scouts came to report, I just found out that my Daqi has produced two good young men who help the poor and the weak. The two silver coins were thrown out without blinking, but I was curious, since they are teenagers, where did they get so much money?”

Qi Xiuyuan stared at Fan Zijin closely, and asked, “Zijin, where do you think their money came from?”

Qi Haoran looked at his elder brother, then at his little partner, and finally raised his hand weakly and said: “Maybe it was given by the family, the parents have money, so they love the children…”

“Coincidentally,” Qi Xiuyuan said, still staring at Fan Zijin, “Those two are masters that their father doesn’t love, and they can’t touch the family’s wealth.”

“That could be…”

“Shut up,” Qi Xiuyuan turned his head and glared at his younger brother, then continued to look at Fan Zijin, “Zijin, tell me.”

Zijin said honestly, “It was stolen.”

Qi Xiuyuan frowned and asked, “Stole from whom?”

Fan Zijin felt even more guilty, and said in a low voice, “The one who stole the Qi residence.”

Qi Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and turned to look at his younger brother. He thought it was Zijin who stole the money from the family. Could it be that he stole the money from the Fan family, the Qi family?

“Hao Ran stole it?”

The two teenagers nodded guiltily, slowly climbed down the kang and stood with their heads bowed.

Qi Xiuyuan’s heart was half down, but instead of being angry, he asked curiously: “You managed to touch the money at home? Come and tell my brother how you stole it.”

Qi Haoran carefully looked at his elder brother’s face, seeing that he didn’t look angry, he immediately climbed onto the kang and sat cross-legged, and said: “I also found out by accident, didn’t Mrs. Wu force me to marry you on your behalf? Jin said that there must be a conspiracy in their rush, so she told me to keep an eye on them, and I had no eyeliner in the Qi Mansion, so I had to keep an eye on it myself, only to find out that the Wu family gets a fortune every month, and the money is hidden in the closet inside.”

Qi Haoran said angrily: “She is obviously just a concubine, but my father gave her all the money in the family. I can only get five taels of silver from the public every month, and when I go out to buy things, I have to ask someone to come to the house Anyway, we are going to run away from home, so I simply took all the money, as if my father separated us in advance.”

A cold light flashed in Qi Xiuyuan’s eyes, and he asked, “How much money?”

“More than 50,000 taels.” Qi Haoran glanced at the eldest brother cautiously and said, “But we spent more than 40,000 taels on the way, and the remaining 10,000 taels were snatched by the bandits…”

Qi Xiuyuan sneered and said: “This money may not belong to my father, otherwise he would have sent me a letter reprimanding me and ordered me to return it, but I have not received any news from here, and he didn’t even send anyone to find you. Know about silver.”

Fan Zijin thought quickly, and immediately said: “Then this money is Wu’s private money.”

He added: “This money must have come from a wrong way, otherwise the Wu family would not have swallowed it. It is probably greedy, or greedy from the Qi family.” Fan Zijin chuckled, “I said, so much cash is neither bought nor bought. Buy Zhuangzi and leave it in the bank to get moldy? It turns out that Wu’s embezzled money.”

“Then the person sent to kill you will have guessed it.” Qi Xiuyuan’s eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly: “Save for now, and we will settle the debt with her later.”
