Empress, your husband is invincible

Zhuang Shuanglin suddenly turned into a look of gnashing his teeth:
"In Huangdu City, there are 37 casinos in total, this guy is not afraid to play!
A total of 10 taels of silver!That prodigal bastard, without waiting to tell me, let Zhuang Cong put all his bastards out! "

"..."

Ye Cheng froze for a moment.

What is the concept of 10 taels?
You know, the cash in Ling Xuejian's treasury is less than 1 taels!

This kid Zhuang Yan, who is so deadly, is still alive and kicking until now?

After being silent for a long time, Ye Cheng had no choice but to say a word of comfort:
"Shuanglin, he is your own brother..."

"It's not dear, I beat that guy to death long ago!"

Zhuang Shuanglin's face was flushed, and he squeezed out a low sentence from between his teeth.

"He's still injured..."

"If it weren't for this, how dare he bet 3 taels of silver in the Wansheng Casino! I'd have to break the horsewhip at home!"

"..."

Ye Cheng had nothing to say for a while.

You don't need to think about it, although you can't be sure who Zhuang Yan is betting on in other casinos.

But in the Wansheng casino, you can tell with your toes that this guy must bet on himself to win...

Looking deeply at Ye Cheng helplessly, Zhuang Shuanglin just squeezed out a sentence from his throat:

"Brother Ye, all our family's cash, some shops, and land deeds are all bet by this kid, you win..."

Ye Cheng was dumbfounded for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"rest assured."

Zhuang Shuanglin hesitated to speak for a moment, then changed his tone:
"For those casinos, I have sent our family's servants and guards, and even dispatched some Phoenix Feather Guards to watch them secretly.

Brother Ye don't have to worry about them running away. "

The big stone in Ye Cheng's heart was instantly let go.

After learning that Li Baijing had fallen asleep again, Ye Cheng didn't stay in Marquis Wu's residence any longer, and returned to the palace.

Before returning to Tingfeng Palace, Ye Cheng saw the female officer standing at the gate of Tingfeng Palace.

When the female officer saw Ye Cheng, she quickly walked up to him and reminded in a low voice:
"Your Majesty is waiting for you, sir."

Ye Cheng nodded, and went straight into the Tingfeng Hall, and just pushed open the half-covered hall door, and saw Ling Xuejian with a haggard expression.

Ye Cheng was taken aback by her appearance, and hurried forward.

"what happened?"

Ling Xuejian slightly raised his eyelids, revealing reddish eyes, and said in a low voice:

"Shouzhou City is plagued by banditry, and the taxes transferred from Huaizhou...the taxes have been robbed..."

If Huangdu City is the political heart of Da Ling, then Huaizhou is the economic lifeline of Da Ling.

Taxes transferred from the southeastern provinces need to be transferred from Huaizhou to Huangdu City through the canal...

"Is it the annual tax in the South this year?"

Ye Cheng couldn't help being startled.

Ling Xuejian nodded weakly.

"This year's six northern states have already run out of taxes. What you see in the inner treasury today is the tax money that was intercepted from the bottom of the box..."

"The national treasury is waiting for this tax to fill up and run... But, but..."

Speaking of this, Dou Da's teardrops couldn't help but slipped from Ling Xuejian's eyes instantly.

She seems to be unable to hide her emotions from Ye Cheng recently...

"Who is the guard in Huaizhou?"

Ye Cheng turned around twice, frowned and asked Ling Xuejian.

"Shuanglin's uncle, General Zhennan, Jiang Yunbo."

"..."

Inadvertently remembering Zhuang Shuanglin's appearance at that time, Ye Cheng woke up instantly.

"Has there been banditry in Huaizhou before?"

"There were some, but they were all handled by Jiang Yunbo.

But this time, those gangsters suddenly appeared on both sides of the canal as if they appeared out of nowhere, just when Jiang Yunbo was unable to rescue him in time, they robbed the thirteen ships...thirteen ships of tax money..."

"They robbed so much tax money, and they didn't leave the slightest trace?"

"As if disappearing out of thin air, the tax money robbed that afternoon fled to the south of the Yangtze River, but at night, the entire fleet completely disappeared on the canal...

There are no traces of land counties along the way. "

This matter sounds like an unconcealable conspiracy...

Ye Cheng frowned and looked at Ling Xuejian, only then did he realize that there was a piece of stained rice paper under her arm.

Among them, the name of Huang Yi circled by several circles is impressive.

"Do you suspect that Huang Yi did it?"

"It's very possible. But at the same time, the Ming family in Huaizhou, the Qin family in Qingzhou, that is, the Qin Xiang family... and the Xiao family in Ningzhou, Jiangnan, where the canal starts, are all possible..."

Wiping his eyes, Ling Xuejian lit up the whole rice paper, pointed to the names on it and said:
"With such a catastrophe happening in the jurisdiction, Marquis Wu and even I cannot keep General Jiang. He must be sent back to Beijing..."

Ye Cheng looked up from the rice paper and looked at Ling Xuejian.

"Have you selected the next person to guard Huaizhou?"

"Right now, except for Marquis Wu's family and three or five ministers, I don't feel at ease with anyone..."

Ye Cheng thought of a candidate.

"Shangshu of the Household Department, how about Chen Yuxiu?"

Ling Xuejian smiled wryly:
"As soon as Chen Shangshu is gone, let's not talk about the situation of living in Huaizhou. After he leaves, who will be in charge of the household department?"

Ye Cheng's heart moved, and he looked at her seriously:
"There are too many descendants of noble families in the court, you need to give the poor family a step."

Ling Xuejian's face darkened visibly with the naked eye.

"Why don't I know?
However, the official selection system of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system and the filial piety and integrity alternate system completely sealed off all the steps of poor families.

Even if I am the emperor, I can't change the ancestral system rashly..."

Ye Cheng gritted his teeth and looked at her seriously:

"After tomorrow, seal me as Marquis of Chang'an. I will help you."

Ling Xuejian laughed out of anger, and gave him a white look:
"...you haven't even gotten the sweet potatoes out yet!"

"...One yard is worth one yard. I still have a way to quickly fill up the national treasury. It can save Daling from having to rely on taxes to live!"

Ling Xuejian gave him another look.

"You need to ask me to borrow money to bet, what can you do?"

Ye Cheng suddenly lost his temper:
"...Ignore those for now. After I win, you have to grant me the title of Marquis of Chang'an, and give me part of the power to manage the government!"

Seeing Ye Cheng's serious expression, Ling Xuejian became a little interested.After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said:
"If you can really win, then sooner or later I will accept you into the palace. It is not without precedent to deal with the power of the court with you..."

But suddenly remembered something, Ling Xuejian said with a strange expression:

"No, have you made an agreement with Li Baijing? If you go on stage and don't talk about others, Zhuang Han alone will be able to eat you alive!"

"Then you'd better pray for 'Li Baijing' to win, otherwise, all of your 500 taels will be in vain..."
