Chapter 224

Of course Chen Geng couldn't bear it, and looked back at Gong Zexuan eagerly, "General, all of these must be confiscated? Can't... keep a little?"

It's really ugly to say that the mighty army of the imperial court wants to divide up the stolen goods of the bandits here.

However, the borders have been unstable these years, and the people of Xin Guo have come to provoke them from time to time, wanting to conscript soldiers and buy horses, and to replenish supplies, which doesn't require silver taels.

It is not enough to point out that the imperial court sends military salaries all the way, and then deducts them layer by layer.

Chen Geng was not willing to let go of the money that could be used as military pay.

Gong Zexuan paused, then raised his eyebrows suddenly, pointed to those boxes one by one, and said, "This, this..."

Gong Zexuan pointed while Chen Geng shook his head.

"All the gold and silver in these boxes will be kept, and the rest will be handed over."

"what?!"

Hearing what Gong Zexuan said, Chen Geng couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Gong Zexuan with wide eyes.

"General, what you said is true?"

Gong Zexuan squinted at Chen Geng, and said, "Why, you don't want it?"

"No, no! Of course, of course!"

Chen Geng hurriedly stood in front of those boxes, giggling, for fear that Gong Zexuan would change his mind again.

Chen Geng smiled again and said, "General, can't you save more? Look, there are so many..."

This time, Gong Zexuan's expression calmed down, and he said seriously: "I just read it, except for real gold and silver, most of the other treasures have the words of court tribute. If we take it back to the northern border, it will cause trouble for ourselves."

Chen Geng was taken aback, and quickly picked up a white porcelain vase in front of him to look at it.There is a mark on the bottom of the bottle.

"This bunch of corrupt officials! They even dare to corrupt the imperial court, they deserve to be robbed!" Chen Geng couldn't help spat.

After counting the belongings, Miyazawa Gen ordered the box to be put back to its original place.

Gong Zexuan said to Chen Geng: "You write a letter and send someone to quietly send it to the yamen of the nearest county town to let them know that the bandit's lair is here and there are boxes of treasures. Arrange one person to stay here."

"In addition, send another person to send the list of the seized property to the nearest prefect Zhang. My father once said that the prefect is a clean man, and he will definitely not allow others to make ideas about these tributes. He will arrange for people to keep them safe. Sent to the capital."

"Yes, General."

Chen Geng asked again, "General, what about those women who were arrested?"

Miyazawa Gendao: "We didn't let them discover our identities, did we?"

Chen Geng said: "No. They were blindfolded all the time, and they were all locked in the room, so they couldn't hear our conversation."

Gong Zexuan said: "Then take them down the mountain and let them go."

After talking about these things, Chen Geng looked back at Qin Yu, and asked Gong Zexuan in a low voice: "What about this woman? I heard that the court is also arresting her."

Gong Zexuan smiled and said: "The one wanted by the imperial court is a young man, how could it be her."

Hearing Gong Zexuan's answer, Chen Geng was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't look very surprised. He pursed his lips and went to arrange other things, as if this person in front of him was really not the "Qin Qi" that the court wanted to arrest.

Qin Yu looked at Gong Zexuan in surprise, not sure about his intentions.

It wasn't until Gong Zexuan smiled at her, with a clear and gentle smile, that Qin Yu was sure that he really let her go and would not hand her over to the officers and soldiers who arrested her.

Gong Zexuan stared at her, and said bluntly, "I knew you were a woman."

Qin Yu also laughed, and said: "I also knew that you would see through, but I just didn't tell you."
