Jiang Hao didn't expect that he would hear Xie Mingyuan and Qin talking about family matters. It turned out that the Zhao family was Qin's maternal ancestors.

Judging from the tone of their conversation, the Zhao family should be very wealthy and could easily come up with millions of taels of silver to save the Xie family's lives.

The Zhao family members felt guilty about the "private salt" incident and took the initiative to offer silver to the emperor to save their lives.

However, in Jiang Hao's opinion, Xie Mingyuan had a grudge against his original self, who is now himself, and was also a corrupt official. If such a person was kept, there would definitely be endless troubles.

Therefore, she absolutely could not let Xie Mingyuan live well.

However, all the silver will be added to the national treasury and used for the people, so she cannot take it all away.

Jiang Hao took out a large silver note from the wooden box.

"Xie Mingyuan, I wish you good luck."

……

Just after Jiang Hao left for a while, Xu Xing came in person with his men.

The huge team guarded the gate of Xie's mansion, and the jumping torches gathered together, making it as bright as day.

Xie Mingyuan woke up.

He was a little panicked when he woke up, but after checking the room, he found everything was there and gradually felt relieved.

Qin was still asleep. Just as Xie Mingyuan was about to wake her up, he heard the steward knocking on the door: "Master, the imperial envoy is here."

Xie Mingyuan hurriedly got up and went out to greet him, not caring about Qin who had also fallen asleep for some unknown reason.

"Meet the Prince of Weiguo."

Xie Mingyuan came forward to greet him, his face full of smiles: "Everything is ready, please move over and check it, Your Highness."

130,000 taels of silver and 2.87 million taels of silver notes.

Xu Xing showed no expression, just nodded, and led Zhang Zhongjing and others to the front yard.

"Sir, the nights are cool in autumn. Why don't you go to the study and have some tea while they count the items? Or, you and I can play a game of chess, and time will pass faster."

Although Xie Mingyuan had hatred towards Xu Xing in his heart, he was putting on a show of pretending to be nice.

"No, this place is fine."

He was not interested in playing chess with Xie Mingyuan.

As he was speaking, someone had already brought a chair for Xu Xing and placed it in the yard.

Xu Xing sat down and looked at the big boxes in the room. He raised his hand and said, "Move them out and count them one by one."

"Yes!"

Behind Xu Xing, more than a dozen figures quickly entered the house and carried out boxes of silver.

Xie Mingyuan was confident and stood aside with a smile on his face. He no longer had the nervousness he had last night.

The Zhao family was also shocked at first, and then surprised. The silver was not delivered with the letter, and the content of the letter was also somewhat ambiguous. As a result...

Not only did they make up for the shortfall, but they also gave an additional 1.5 million taels.

His Majesty has let me go again and again, perhaps just wanting to put pressure on the Zhao family.

Zhao Xingyu's life in exchange for ten thousand taels of silver is more than enough.

The courtyard was brightly lit, dozens of figures were busy counting, and the temporary accountant was busy recording.

The night wind is cold, as chilly as water.

Xu Xing gathered his cloak and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Jiang Hao hid in a dark place where no one could notice him. He looked at the people who were busy counting silver, with a slight smile on his face.

I don’t know if Xie Mingyuan, who is laughing happily at the moment, will still be able to laugh when he finds out that his money is less.

About half an hour later, the accountant finished counting all the silver, walked up to Xu Xing, bowed and said, "Your Excellency, all the silver plus the banknotes total 2,999,000 taels."

"How many?"

When Xie Mingyuan heard the total, he was suddenly stunned.
