The banquet was very lively.

The generals are good wines, as everyone knows, but today the generals don’t drink much. After three glasses of wine, they will no longer be poured.

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 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. Some people remembered that at the previous banquet, Fan Ziqi donated fifty to the general on behalf of the Fanjun family. For the ten thousand taels of silver, at that time, he handed over five hundred thousand taels of silver to Su Changyu.

Today, Fan Ziqi took out the bank note again, should he continue to donate?

The general was also a little 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 testimony. I will donate these silver to the waiter. Lord Qing.” Put the silver ticket back into the box, after closing it, holding it up with both hands, put the box in front of Shiqing Pei, and respectfully said: “Master Shiqing, I believe it. I gave two hundred and thirty thousand. Two silver, plus three hundred and seventy thousand taels here, is exactly six hundred thousand taels."

Shiqing Pei looked embarrassed, and laughed twice, 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. What do you say today? You have to accept it too."

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

"I 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, someone will not admit it. How can that be good."

Tonight's birthday banquet was full of enthusiasm, and the atmosphere was originally 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.

He didn't expect Fan Ziqi to bring this kind of black-box operation to the stage.

"Master Hou, this is...?" 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 said calmly: "Master Duhu asked, everyone must think things are weird. I will explain it to everyone. After Master Shiqing came to Heiyang City, he talked to me alone and asked me. Have you donated five hundred thousand taels of silver to the general? A few days ago, I met with some family gentry in Fan County. We all felt that the general returned to Xiling to reorganize military affairs. Everyone would spend silver, so everyone wanted to donate it. With my heart, I collected 500,000 taels of silver for military expenses."

The general nodded and said: "The wishes of Lord Hou and all the aristocratic families, I and the officers and men are all in my heart.

Excited."

"The general is serious." Fan Ziqi sighed: "Back when the Wutuo people invaded, the Xiling family did not support the Du Hu army in the first time. I am really ashamed. Because of this, we have been thinking for many years that we can one day make up for ourselves. fault."

Everyone thought that the Fanjun family could quickly donate 500,000 taels of silver after the general's return.

"This was something that everyone was happy with." Fan Ziqi slowly said: "We have spent half a million taels of silver as military expenditure, which can help the court to relieve some of the pressure. We can also make up for some of the mistakes of the year. The general also has Recruiting money and buying horses can be said to be a thing of killing three birds with one stone. In fact, we really think so." Turning our eyes to Shiqing Pei, sighed: "But the words of Lord Shiqing two days ago made me suddenly sober. Still have lingering fears."

Shiqing Pei had an ugly face, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but could not 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, food and supplies is the responsibility of Master Duhu. In other words, we should donate the silver to Duhu Mansion and then Duhu Mansion. It is in compliance with the rules to be 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 has the military power, but also It is possible to obtain military resources from the Xiling family at any time. In this way, there is the possibility of splitting the soil and dividing the border and becoming the king."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present changed color suddenly, 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 worry, I just want to clarify this matter." Fan Ziqi smiled faintly, and continued: "Master Shiqing said that, I was naturally afraid. We donated military resources, selfless, just want to strengthen Xiling’s defense is used to protect the people of Xiling from being slaughtered by the Wutuo people’s sabers. However, he did something wrong with his kindness. Not only did he put himself in a difficult situation, but also put the general in danger.” A deep salute to the general. : "General, Fan is here to apologize 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 donate your military resources, and the saint knows that it must be Dragon Heart Joy, so how can you blame you?"

"The general is an upright hero, and he doesn't know the sinister heart." Fan Ziqi sighed: "Their tricks of ghosts are not imaginable by the generals. I was really worried that this matter would cause serious trouble, so I did it at the time. Asked Mrs. Shiqing how to make up for our faults. Mrs. Shiqing was very kind, pointing to the confusion and telling me that His Royal Highness will build a royal temple for the saint, and the cost will be millions. The treasury is empty and can't afford it. Because of the huge cost, the princess turned her attention to Xiling, hoping that the cost of building the royal temple could be raised from Xiling."

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

"I asked Mrs. Shiqing how much silver should be donated here, and the princess would be satisfied." Fan Ziqi raised his hand and stroked his beard, calmly and calmly: "Ms. Shiqing meant that the money donated to the princess should not be less than The military expenses donated to the generals, according to the original words of Lord Shiqing, how can the military expenses of those soldiers be compared with the construction emperor?

Is it comparable to 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 cried out, "Hold on!"

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

"My lord, you haven't taken these silver." Fan Ziqi stretched out his hand and pressed it on the wooden box: "There are nearly four hundred thousand taels of silver here. If you don't take it and send it to Kyoto, how can you deal with the princess?"

Shiqing Pei 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 bills from his arms and put them on the table: "This is the thirty thousand you gave me. Two silver tickets, you ask me to take care of it 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. This is true on both sides. It's all ugly, and the most important thing is that, in this way, both sides will have their faces completely torn apart.

Shiqing 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.

The Xiling family is now in an extraordinary period. The Zhen family and his son were killed, and the Yuwen family was forced to move into the customs. The Fan family was in the best position for helping the general return to Xiling. The family.

But what the Fan family is doing now is seeking 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.

Someone even wondered if the Fan family was able to preserve it because they secretly took refuge in the imperial court a long time ago, they have been in contact with the generals, and even together they brought down the other two great families. No matter how you look at them, the Fan family’s efforts over the years have been It was to be able to please the court and let the Fan family survive the disaster.

That being the case, why did Fan Ziqi openly sing on stage with Shiqing Pei who represents the interests of the emperor today, and even directly let Shiqing Pei not come to stage?

It seems that Fan Ziqi does not seem to be suffering from madness.

"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 always make it clear. The military pay for a soldier is better than that. It is important to build a royal temple on the upper level. In the eyes of the imperial court, is this really the case?

Shiqing Pei said coldly: "Of course it is my own meaning."

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