My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 272 Qin He returns, water dripping from oil pan

Amid the surging undercurrent, Qin He finally returned.

In the 26th year of Qianyuan, on the last day of September, Qin He, who had been away from Beijing for more than half a year, escorted more than 20 prison cars back to Beijing.

Behind the prison van were more than 60 four-wheeled carts, with hundreds of wooden boxes stacked on them, which contained all the property that Qin He had confiscated from the Tong family.

The escort in front and behind was none other than the [-]-strong cavalry battalion led by Jiang Xianhe, who had gone south to support the battle. In the prison car at the beginning, there was an unkempt man sitting in the car, who was the first criminal, Tong Guan.

Obviously, the plan that King Qi secretly sent to intercept and kill Tong Guan and his family did not succeed.

With the escort of the Ten Thousand Valiant Cavalry Battalion, Qin He's journey back to the capital was finally smooth.

Even if he encounters some blind "little thieves" along the way, he is still not Jiang Xianhe's enemy.

The seemingly peaceful Shengjing City finally boiled into excitement the moment Qin He returned.

Like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, it instantly detonated inside and outside the court.

The first thing I did when I returned to Beijing was to meet the Holy Spirit and return to my life.

Qin He escorted the long team of prisoners straight into the palace from the city gate, and met with Emperor Qianyuan in the imperial study. When he explained clearly his appointment to the northern border and what he had seen and heard, the sky was getting dark.

As for the criminals of the Tong clan, they were naturally taken to Zhao Prison, the highest level, and tortured by Xiao Yiwei himself.

Nearly two hundred Xiao Yiwei died in northern Xinjiang, in the hands of Tong Guan's people. This time Tong's family fell into the hands of Xiao Yiwei, they naturally wanted to take revenge and complain.

It is conceivable what kind of cruel hell the Tong family will face. Life may be worse than death.

By the way, Qin He also returned to the capital with more than 400 people who had defected.These people stepped back from the brink at the last moment and redeemed themselves for their crimes, and their treatment would be better. They were just taken to the sky prison and waited for the holy orders, and they did not suffer much.

At this point, these border soldiers who were almost on the verge of a dead end couldn't help but sigh: Fortunately, they didn't end up in trouble all the way. Thanks to Mr. Qin for saving my life.

Qin He could not receive these gratitude at this time. He was on his way home from the palace.

The horse gallops forward, returning home like an arrow.

From a distance, he saw an extremely familiar figure waiting eagerly under the brightly lit eaves. Qin He suddenly felt his heart softening and his eyes burning.

He unconsciously tightened the movements of his hands, and the horse beneath him ran faster.

Shen Yuan looked at the figure getting closer and closer on the horse, and the smile on her lips deepened. When the man on the horse dismounted and hugged her, the tears that had formed in his eyes finally fell down.

This is a long-lost hug and a belated message of peace.

The two of them only stopped briefly in front of the door, and Qin He changed his embrace to holding hands, and the couple walked hand in hand.

Even if there are thousands of words to express, this scene is not suitable for expressing emotions at this time.

The couple first went to the flower hall to meet everyone in the Qin family, where a grand family banquet had already been prepared for Qin He.

The Qin family, old and young, are all here. Except for Xiao Hanguang, who has not returned from studying abroad with his master, all the masters of the third bedroom of the Qin family are here.

This family dinner was very heartwarming, enjoying the rare warmth, and Qin He's nerves that had been tense for a long time were relaxed.

After the meal, everyone did not stay with Qin He to reminisce about old times, but left with a wink after finishing the meal, leaving space for the young couple who had reunited after a long separation.When serving Qin He to take a bath in the evening, Shen Yuan finally saw the large and small scars left on his body, especially the knife mark on his back, which almost spanned half of his back, which was shocking.

Shen Yuan couldn't help but her eyes turned red. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. Behind all the glory is unknown blood and sweat.

Qin He comforted her as if nothing was wrong. The couple hugged each other and talked at night, expressing their longing for each other over the past six months.

Early the next morning, while Shen Yuan was still asleep, Qin He had already gone out to attend the morning court.

The expressions of all civil and military officials in the dynasty changed when they saw Qin He's performance in court.

The memorial handed over by Qin He had more than ten pages, and the chamberlain's father-in-law, who was ordered to read it, took him a quarter of an hour to finish reading it. It recorded all the numerous crimes of the Tong family, which is too numerous to write down.

The hundreds of wooden boxes that were brought to the Qinzheng Hall shocked everyone's attention after they were opened.

After returning to Beijing from this trip, the property Qin Hegong copied from the Tong family was simply shocking.

In addition to 10 taels of gold and 400 million taels of silver, there are also fields, houses, shops, manors, and antiques of famous calligraphy and paintings. There are countless rare treasures, which are equivalent to more than 600 million taels of silver in total...

This means that after serving as an official in northern Xinjiang for twenty years, Tong Guan and his family collected more than tens of millions of taels of people's wealth and anointing.

The Tong family has always lived a luxurious and luxurious life. Over the years, they have spent at least tens of millions of taels of silver, which is almost as much as the national treasury's annual tax money.

It is not an exaggeration to say that wealth can rival a country.

When Emperor Qianyuan saw the white silver, he felt infinite murderous intent in his heart.

Tong Guan, the governor of Beiguan, was sent to guard the border, but he was so good that he regarded the land of Beiguan as his cash cow. He took whatever he asked for, and almost emptied the entire state treasury and enriched him alone.

After looking around at the expressions of the ministers, Emperor Qianyuan looked at King Qi with a very cold look.

Although last night this good boy knelt down in front of him and cried and apologized, saying that he had taken filial piety that he should not have taken over the years, a total of several million taels of silver, and he was willing to donate it to the national treasury to atone for his sins.

But now that he saw the facts before him, Emperor Qianyuan didn't know that this scoundrel was lying again.

A mere Tong family can make tens of millions of dollars in wealth, so as Tongguan's master, King Qi has received more than a few million taels of benefits over the years, probably only tens of millions of taels at a minimum.

Faced with the "caring" look from his old father, King Qi was so frightened that his legs almost went weak. He cursed Tong Guan so much in his heart that he wanted to tear him into pieces.

"Hey! Too!"...

Tong Guan, this old thief, actually embezzled tens of millions of taels of silver without telling me. He is extremely rich in northern Xinjiang, but I am living a prudent life in the capital. It is really deplorable and I would not regret death!
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, King Qi would have really wanted to rush forward and hug Emperor Qianyuan's thigh, crying that he was wronged and that he was also deceived by that old thief Tong Guan.

Another person who felt deeply cheated was King Wei, the real master behind Tong Guan.

The filial piety silver he got from Tong Guan every year was only 30 to [-] taels. Sometimes the other party said that the harvest was not good, or even less. Living a fairy-like day...

King Wei was so angry that he almost ascended to heaven.

Listening to the voices of the three royal fathers and sons, Qin He had a strange expression and was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.

Your Majesty, the King of Qi and the King of Wei all feel that the greedy money under Tong Guanmei should belong to them, and now they want to kill the person named Tong!
It seems that the hatred of King Qi and King Wei is even greater. After all, these dirty silver originally belonged to their pockets, but now they have to watch it go into His Majesty's private treasury or national treasury. Strange.
