The Transmigrated Life of a Salty Fish Family

Chapter 907 The Ministry of Revenue Arrived Early

"Has the cat followed anyone? Which family?" Yan Lao Er asked urgently.

He was so curious.

"Hehe! It's a secret!" Yan Yu said deliberately.

"What secrets are you talking about? Hurry up and tell me, which bastard is trying to kill your father!"

Yan Yu: "It's the King of Han."

"King Han? King Han!" Yan Lao Er gritted his teeth: "So it's that bastard!"

Yan Lao Er will remember this grudge.

"King Han's men were very careful. They made sure no one was around before showing themselves. They didn't even drive the carriages. The bodies were carried by one person on their backs and carried directly out of the capital. Only one person turned back halfway and deliberately took a detour. But no matter how much he guarded against it, he never expected that what was tracking him was not a person, but a cat."

Yan Yu gestured towards the cat's direction and said, "Our cat didn't even need to go through the city gate; she just climbed over the wall to get in. That's quite secretive. The other party changed their contact person four times in a row, which shows that the King of Han's power is considerable. The cat has memorized all of these people. Once this storm has passed, I'll take the cat out to identify them."

Yan Lao Er nodded in agreement at first, then asked with a puzzled look, "The cat can't record the broadcast, so how did it tell you that the contact person was changed four times in the middle?"

"Ask away!" Yan Yu said matter-of-factly, "Cats can use their paws to gesture, so you can find out with just one question."

Those sent to collect corpses are either extremely close confidants or highly guarded subordinates. Even if caught red-handed, they can't be implicated further. Once their superiors are dealt with, contact with the King of Han is severed.

Yan Yu said seriously, "We know who the mastermind is. It's all thanks to the cheat code that we have Cat. By following the clues of a few contacts, we were able to figure out about 70-80% of the power in the capital before the King of Han was on guard. It's fair that we both know the enemy's strength."

Yan Lao Er hesitated, "How can we tell the Prince to be wary of the Prince of Han? We can't just say that the cat followed us."

"Hahaha, tell the prince that our cat can not only follow people, but also dig up the earth to hide silver notes, and it can climb the city wall very well, hahaha!" Yan Yu's chubby little paws made a scratching motion on the wall as she giggled.

Yan Lao Er laughed along, "That's great! Let the Prince see for himself, the cat has become a spirit!"

The father and son laughed heartily for a while.

After Yan Yu finished laughing, she said, "We can only do this for now. We'll tell the prince the truth when we find a suitable opportunity later."

……

Yan Yuneng was able to go to Beijing ahead of schedule because she had an older brother.

As the main person in charge of escorting the spoils back to Beijing, Pan Zheng didn't have the same freedom as his underlings and could only wait miserably ten miles away from Beijing.

Yan Yu did not forget that she still had a mission. After settling the two thousand people who entered the Prince of Ying's mansion, she led her personal guards out of the city to meet up with Pan Zheng.

"Haha! Brother Yan, you've come at the perfect time. This is Li Changhe, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue," Pan Zheng said with a smile as he introduced Yan Yu. "I've come to discuss matters related to the return of the Qing Dynasty's assets to the treasury."

"Lord Li, this is my brother Yan."

The Ministry of Revenue deposited the funds?

Yan Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, remaining outwardly calm, but her round face instantly filled with enthusiasm.

"Lord Li, we've been waiting for you for so long! Now that our business here is finished, we brothers can finally go into the city, so that my brother Pan won't be unable to go home, and the old lady and madam in the manor will be worried about us."

Pan Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "Grandmother and Mother sent people? Why don't I see them?"

“My father visited the mansion to pay his respects a while ago and had the honor of meeting the Dowager Madam. These days, he has been in more contact with Brother Pan’s family.” Yan Yu admired her father for this. In the capital, there was no one he could not reach who he would not visit.

Even though the Duke of Dingguo is her big boss, he, as her father, is more attentive to her than she is to send her gifts. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Duke of Dingguo is taking her father in as a concubine, not her.

Pan Zheng nodded blankly. Okay, none of that matters.

"Take care of the errand first. Once the errand is finished, Yan will come home with me. I don't know if my grandmother and mother are worried about me, but they did mention in a letter that the little war god from Guanzhou has come to the capital and they must invite him to their home as a guest. They are looking forward to it very much."

"Brother Pan, please sit with Lord Li for a while. I'll go and help him sort things out."

Yan Yu casually picked up the account book that was placed between the two of them, shook it casually, and quickly left the tent.

As soon as she stepped out of the tent, Yan Yu's smiling face instantly tightened.

He made a gesture in secret.

A group of boys secretly approached her.

They moved to a secluded spot. Yan Yuzhou was surrounded by seven or eight people.

"Wei Si, return to the capital immediately and find General Wei to find out where the spoils of war from previous years were sent to in the capital."

Wei Hejin comes from a family with a long and distinguished history of scholarship, with generations of generals serving in the military. Asking him for information is definitely the right thing to do.

Without saying a word, Wei Si led his horse away, then leaped onto his horse and headed straight for the capital.

"Brother Dalong, have our men trip up a bit and stall the men that Lord Li brought."

The situation is unclear, and we can't afford to fall out with anyone yet. We'll just stall and get it over with.

Wang Dalong nodded, accepted the order, and left.

“Brother Er Mao, when you go back to the Prince’s Mansion, first find my godfather and tell him that the Ministry of Revenue needs to put things into the warehouse. Then find my father and ask him to go to the Duke of Dingguo’s Mansion.”

The godfather will understand her meaning as soon as he hears it and will go to the palace to inquire.

The Duke of Dingguo's mansion is one of the most prestigious families in the capital, with countless retainers. Surely someone there knows the intricacies of its affairs. If there's anything amiss, well...
Er Mao went too.

"Waiter, is that Lord Li not right?" Er Tie asked seriously.

“A junior official, a fifth-rank official, is probably the rank for the handover. The person should be right, but the documents are wrong.” Yan Yu shrugged and explained to the others, “The spoils of war we sent to the capital this time are quite valuable. The most precious of them are the ones we confiscated from the rebel king’s private treasury.”

"Who is this rebel king? Before he committed any crimes, he was a member of the royal family and a prince with a real title. His private treasury contained many imperial gifts bearing the royal insignia. Such treasures should, in principle, be confiscated by the imperial court. That's why I said the book is not right."

"The Ministry of Revenue..." Yan Yu pondered for a moment, "Even if they come, they shouldn't be the first."

She truly had no idea about the intricacies of official business in the capital.

I was just trying to deduce things from the few words my uncle had said.

Normally, the Ministry of Revenue should not be so proactive.

Furthermore, they were a victorious army.

To quell the rebellion and establish legitimacy.

This is the majesty of the emperor, which shines brightly throughout the world.

The more Yan Yu thought about it, the more suspicious the arrival of Li, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, seemed.

Hu Dalang thought for a moment, then took out a pocket from his bosom and opened it.

"Should we feed their horses?"

"What's this?" Hu Erlang peeked out.

Hu Dalang subconsciously pulled his clothes closer, not wanting anyone to see him clearly.

"croton."

"Croton tiglium?" Several people looked at him in surprise.

Hu Dalang's face turned red, then purplish.

"You carry croton seeds with you?" Hu Erlang was extremely puzzled.

"I've been eating a lot of meat lately, and my stomach feels bloated..." Hu Dalang muttered.

The group of people looked at each other.

They all burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! You've eaten too much meat and it's too dry for you to eat properly, hahaha!"

"Oh no, I'm dying of laughter, my stomach hurts."

"Stomach ache? You should eat some croton seeds to soothe it, hahaha!"

After the busy Singles' Day sale, I've been working overtime every day. The pain of being a working stiff is real!
It's finally over! (*^▽^*)~
