When the army has changed, the general in Fanhou’s mansion naturally doesn’t know.

The banquet was very lively.

The general is good wine, as everyone knows, but today the general does not drink much. After three glasses of wine, he will no longer let people pour.

But Shiqing Pei seems to be in good spirits today.

Everyone toasted many times, but Attendant Pei did not refuse to come, she was a little bit drunk at the moment.

After drinking for three rounds, Fan Ziqi suddenly clapped his hands, and then saw a servant coming over with a tray, on which a wooden box was placed, and walked to Fan Ziqi's side.

When everyone saw this, they were all curious.

Fan Ziqi didn’t talk nonsense either. He got up and opened the wooden box. He even took out a stack of silver bills from the box. Everyone present was a little surprised. Someone remembered that at the previous banquet, Fan Ziqi represented General Xiang Xiang, the family leader of Fan County. For the donation of 500,000 taels of silver, at that time, the 500,000 taels of silver were handed over to Su Changyu.

Today, Fan Ziqi took out the bank note again, do you want to continue donating?

The general was also slightly surprised, but Fan Ziqi smiled and waved the banknotes in his hand, and said loudly: "Everyone, here are three hundred and seventy thousand taels of banknotes. Today, you all will be your witness. Donate it to Sir Shiqing." Put the silver ticket back into the box, and after closing it, hold it up with both hands, and put the box in front of Shiqing Pei, respectfully saying: "Sir, Shiqing, I believe it. One hundred thirty thousand taels of silver, plus three hundred seventy thousand taels here, is exactly six hundred thousand taels."

Shiqing Pei looked embarrassed and laughed, but did not reach out to take it.

"Master Shiqing, please laugh." When Fan Ziqi saw Shiqing Pei not picking up the box, he sent it forward: "This is our Fan family's life-saving money. If Shiqing does not accept it, our Fan family's life will not be guaranteed. You have to accept whatever you say today."

Shiqing Pei finally said: "Master Hou, I'll talk about this later."

"Can't wait." Fan Ziqi shook his head and said, "I will give you the money in front of the general and you, and someone will testify, and I will feel at ease. Otherwise, if you send hundreds of thousands of taels in private, there will be someone If you don’t admit it, what can you do."

Tonight's birthday banquet was full of enthusiasm. The atmosphere was very lively, but as soon as the cash ticket came out, coupled with a few words from Fan Ziqi, the atmosphere instantly solidified, and all the surrounding noises died down.

Everyone looked at Fan Ziqi and Pei Shiqing, not knowing what happened.

Shiqing Pei's face became a little ugly.

For this kind of black-box operation, he never thought that Fan Ziqi would bring it to the table.

"Master Hou, is this...?" Yao Mubai finally couldn't help but frown and asked: "What is the reason for the six hundred thousand taels of silver you said?"

Fan Ziqi put the box on the table, and calmly said: "Master Duhu asked, everyone must find something strange, I will explain it to everyone. After Master Shiqing came to Heiyang City, he talked to me alone. , Asked me if I donated 500,000 taels of silver to the general. A few days ago, I met with some family gentry in Fan County, and I felt that the general returned to Xiling to reorganize military affairs and he would spend silver everywhere, so everyone I want to give my heart and put together 500,000 taels of silver for military expenses."

The general nodded and said: "Hou Ye and all the aristocratic families, I and the soldiers are in my heart

Excited. "

"The general is serious." Fan Ziqi sighed: "Back when the Wutuo people invaded, the Xiling family did not immediately support the Duhu army. I am really ashamed, and because of this, we have been thinking for many years that one day we can Make up for your fault."

Everyone thought that the Fanjun family could quickly donate half a million taels of silver after the general's return, which is considered to have done their part.

"This was originally a happy thing for everyone." Fan Ziqi said slowly: "We have spent half a million taels of silver as military expenses, which can help the court to relieve some of the pressure, and we can also make up for some of the mistakes of the year. Bian also has the silver to recruit troops. It can be said to be a thing of three birds with one stone. In fact, we really think so." Turning our eyes to Shiqing Pei, sighed: "But the words of Master Shiqing two days ago made me suddenly sober. Coming here, I still have lingering fears."

Shiqing Pei's face was ugly, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it.

"The magistrate said that the imperial court has the will, the military affairs of Xiling belong to the general, and the raising of money and food is the responsibility of Master Duhu. In other words, we should donate the silver to Duhufu, and then by It is in compliance with the rules that the Duhufu is transferred to the general.” Fan Ziqi said: “We will directly hand over the money to the general. That will harm the general and the Xiling family. At that time, someone from the court will say that the general not only controls the military power. , And you can obtain military resources from the Xiling family at any time. In this way, it is possible to split the soil and divide the border and become the king."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present changed their colors, and even the general frowned.

Shiqing Pei said coldly: "Master Hou, what do you intend to say at the banquet today?"

"Master Shiqing, don’t be anxious, I just want to clarify this matter." Fan Ziqi smiled faintly, and continued: "Master Shiqing said this, I was naturally afraid. We donated military resources, we are selfless. I just want to strengthen Xiling’s defense to protect the people of Xiling from being slaughtered by the Wutuo people’s saber, but he did something wrong with his kind intentions, not only putting himself in a difficult situation, but also putting the general in danger." General Xiang Yili, said: "General, Fan hereby apologizes to you."

The general was straight and shook his head and said, "Master Hou, things may not be what you think, you don't have to worry too much. You donated your military resources, and the saint learned that it must be Dragon Heart Joy. How can you blame you?"

"The general is an upright hero, who doesn't know the sinister heart." Fan Ziqi sighed: "Their tricks of ghosts are not imaginable by the generals. I am really worried that this will cause big trouble. So at that time, I asked Master Shiqing how to make up for our faults. Master Shiqing was kind, pointing to the confusion and telling me that His Royal Highness is going to build a royal temple for the saint, which will cost millions. The treasury is empty, Unable to bear such a huge cost, the princess turned her attention to Xiling, hoping that the cost of building the royal temple can be raised from Xiling."

Hearing this, the general glanced at Pei Shiqing, his face was even more solemn, even Yao Mubai's face was hard to look.

"I asked Master Shiqing how much silver should be donated here, so that the princess would be satisfied." Fan Ziqi raised his hand and stroked his beard, calmly and calmly: "My Lord Shiqing meant the silver donated to the princess, Can’t be less than the military expenses donated to the general. According to the original words of Lord Shiqing, how can the military expenses of those soldiers be related to the construction emperor

Compared with Jiayu Temple? Master Shiqing, you said that at the time. I remember correctly, right? "

Shiqing Pei stood up, snorted coldly, and turned to leave, but Fan Ziqi had already called to a stop: "Hold on!"

Shiqing Pei turned around, with her hands on her back, her eyes cold, staring at Fan Ziqi with a sneer: "What else can Lord Hou give?"

"Sir, you haven't taken these silver." Fan Ziqi reached out and pressed it on the wooden box: "There are nearly 400,000 taels of silver here. If you don't take it and send it to Kyoto, how can you deal with the princess?"

Pei Shiqing said indifferently: "If you really want to share the worries for the court, just send it to Kyoto by yourself." What came to mind, took out a stack of silver slips from her arms and put them on the table: "This is what you gave me The thirty thousand taels of silver bills, you asked me to charge them up and down, now it seems they are not needed."

Everyone at the scene looked at each other.

Whether it is Fan Ziqi or Pei Shiqing, they are not ordinary people. Naturally, speaking and doing things will not be easy for people to see through, but now these two actually put things that are not easy to see under the table directly on the table, doing both sides Although the faces are very ugly, the most important thing is that in this way, the two sides will wait for the face to be completely torn.

Princess Pei is from the North Campus, and her immediate boss is Princess Musk Moon, who is the jewel in the palm of the saint. In a way, Princess Musk Moon represents the saint.

Fan Ziqi publicly brought the matter of Pei Shiqing's request for donation to the table, and it would be like going directly to Princess Musk Moon and even the saint.

Now the Xiling family is in an extraordinary period. The Zhen family and his son were killed, the Yuwen family was forced to move into the customs, and the Fan family was able to help the general return to Xiling to keep it alive. Among the three Xiling families, it is considered to be The best family.

But what the Fan family is doing now is looking for a dead end.

With a shrewd figure like Fan Ziqi, no one would have thought that he would make such an appearance at the birthday banquet.

Some people are even thinking that the Fan family can save because they secretly took refuge in the court very early, and they have been in contact with the general, and even together they brought down the other two great families. No matter how you look at it, the Fan family has been Efforts are all in order to please the court, so that the Fan family can survive the disaster.

Since this is the case, why did Fan Ziqi openly sing on stage with Shiqing Pei, who represents the interests of the emperor, even directly preventing Shiqing Pei from coming to stage?

It seems that Fan Ziqi doesn't seem to be insane.

"Master Shiqing, it doesn't matter if you don't want this money." Fan Ziqi actually sat down and said lightly: "But what you said is your own meaning, or the meaning of the princess. You should make it clear. A soldier Military pay is not as important as building a royal temple. In the eyes of the court, is this really the case?"

Shiqing Pei said coldly: "Of course I meant it."

"In that case, it is your personal intention to accumulate money in Xiling and hoard the money that was originally used as military resources?" Fan Ziqi turned to look at Shiqing Pei, his eyes became extremely sharp at this time, like There are two sharp blades: "You must explain clearly in front of all of you today, what exactly do you intend to do with your own money in Xiling? Knowing that Xiling is fully deploying defense, you have to draw money from the bottom, are you working for Wutuo? People do things? Are you secretly colluding with the Utuo people?"
