The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 12 A great harvest
I guess not many people know about the vault where the silver is hidden. When it is discovered, others will not know whether the wealth was transferred by Shen Gui or stolen by someone else. After all, it is impossible for an ordinary thief to transfer so many things quietly, and others will not think that he would cheat.

Shen Gui has done a lot of evil, and the people around him are not good people either, so Li Yan has no psychological burden. Shen Gui has a big family, many brothers and nephews, and it won't be long before they start fighting for property!
Following the same route he came, Li Yan bypassed the night patrol guards and left the Shen mansion silently.

When I returned to the Humble Administrator's Garden, it was already midnight. I quietly returned to my bedroom and observed the marks left at my door. No one had been there, so I breathed a sigh of relief. After changing my clothes, I put my nightgown into the space and lay down on the bed. Thinking about the two people who had just died in my hands, I suddenly felt sick and uncomfortable again.

Without external pressure, Li Yan quickly stood up and took the copper basin beside him.

'Wow'

Spit it out.

After taking a while to calm down, he sat back on the bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the deaths of the two people.

I am indeed a good person and I would never do anything wrong.

Don't think about that anymore, you need to divert your attention.
Want silver.
correct
He put nearly three million taels of silver in his space, which was real wealth. He could buy villas, luxury cars, beautiful women and so on.

Ha ha!

Sure enough, thinking this way made me feel more at ease. I had food at home, so I didn’t have to worry!

With a satisfied mood, Li Yan fell asleep.

The next day, Li Yan finally got up when the sun was high in the sky. After all, he was working the night shift, so it was reasonable for him to sleep a little longer. There was no need to work so hard, and he didn't need to be tense all day to complete the world mission. A comfortable and leisurely life was what he pursued.

The tenth old Yin in this world can't lift anything with his hands or shoulders, and he hasn't practiced martial arts since he was a child. Instead, he is lazy and likes to relax all day long, so he can't suddenly get up early every day to exercise, be diligent and studious, which will easily arouse suspicion.

Aldo waited for Li Yan to finish washing up and said, "Master Ten, a murder occurred in Suzhou Prefecture last night. It is said that the wealthy businessman Shen Gui caught his servant and concubine having an affair, and in anger killed his servant. Before dying, the servant also caused fatal injuries to Shen Gui. Both of them were killed. The officials from the government office have rushed over and brought the other two concubines back to the government office for detailed interrogation."

After that, he added: "This is a good opportunity, should we get involved?"

"No need. This is none of our business. Lord Chen didn't come to report, which means this is just local business and we should not interfere. Let's continue sightseeing. Where are we going today? Call the guide and we will go out in a while. We will have lunch outside at noon." Li Yan said in a good mood and energetically.

The Suzhou moat quietly embraces the ancient city, like the long cuffs of a woman's silk shirt, exuding a touch of elegance and dexterity.

Green bricks and black tiles, soft voices, and lush flowers and trees.

The stone streets and the steps of the arched bridges were reflected in the water, vaguely resembling the ancient capital of the Wu Kingdom. The small houses with raised ridges and flying eaves were crowded together. Li Yan was deeply immersed in the beauty of the Jiangnan water town and was reluctant to leave!

Chen Pengnian was relieved when his servants reported that the imperial envoy was going out to play. He said to his master, "This case must be concluded as soon as possible. It cannot be delayed. If the Tenth Master pays attention to it, it will be a huge trouble."

"But according to the captain of the police, there were obvious signs of other people in the room. The two concubines also said that they were having sex with Shen Gui at the time. A black shadow flashed by and the two fainted. They can both prove to each other that they did not have an affair with the servants, and there was no sign of a fight in the room. Why did they both die?" The lawyer hurriedly argued.

"Confused!"

Chen Pengnian interrupted the master's words and said anxiously, "I know what you said. Shen Gui is not a good person. He usually bullies the good and kidnaps women. He colludes with pirates to rob caravans, evades taxes and supports criminals. He usually doesn't take the government seriously. Who knows if he was killed by the Japanese pirates? Where can we catch him?"

"Now that a servant and a concubine have died together because of an affair, let's just leave it as it is for now. We can let the detectives investigate slowly in secret."

"The most important thing is that the imperial envoy is in Suzhou now. If it attracts the attention of the Tenth Prince and he intervenes and reports to the Emperor, who knows how many officials will lose their jobs. This will not be good for anyone. Let's wait until the imperial envoy leaves Suzhou before we talk about it!"

When the lawyer heard this, he knew the seriousness of the matter and understood that what the master said made sense. So he said nothing more and went to arrange the closing of the case. Fortunately, Shen Gui's family was busy fighting for the property, so no one said much and they all agreed with the statement on the surface.

Li Yan had a happy day of sightseeing, and when he returned to the Humble Administrator's Garden, he arranged the next day's schedule and went to his bedroom to rest. At the beginning of the midnight hour, another black shadow flew out of the garden and pounced on another sea merchant in the city.

In this way, Li Yan played during the day and went out to rob at night. In seven or eight days, Li Yan had robbed nearly ten wealthy sea merchants. However, the heads of these families had never seen the Tenth Master. As long as they handed over money, Li Yan would treat them politely. He only wanted money and not life. He wanted to keep the sheep and let them grow wool slowly. He only wanted to pull wool and did not want to eat mutton.

After all, they are all customers and have contributed huge amounts to our GDP, so we should carry out protective mining.

Li Yan did not kill anyone after that, he just looted money until he was discovered by a family last night. They sent out guards to intercept him. Li Yan killed more than a dozen guards and during the fight, he deliberately shouted a few words in Japanese and finally ran away. I guess those people would be surprised.
'Yamaidi'

'Establishment'

What the hell is it?

There’s no way, Li Yan doesn’t know much, so the customers just have to listen to him!

At this point, there were more than 16 million taels of silver worth of wealth lying in Li Yan's space, and the system had prompted him that he had exceeded the task. Originally, Li Yan was worried that the system task required him to make money, and the money he had robbed might not be counted. Unexpectedly, the system was more humane and also included it in the calculation, and also encouraged him to keep working hard to increase his wealth.

However, Li Yan no longer planned to continue in Suzhou. From the beginning, Shen Gui's two million taels, to more than one million, hundreds of thousands, and only more than 100,000 taels were found in the last house yesterday. He sorted from the largest to the smallest. It seemed that the remaining people did not have much money. People with a net worth of more than 100,000 taels were not worthy of a prince like him to personally take action. He could not just collect wool in one place, so he changed to Hangzhou.

After breakfast, Aldo came to report that Suzhou prefect Chen Peng had come to visit him a few years ago.

The first time Chen Pengnian saw Li Yan, he knelt down and apologized. Li Yan smiled and said, "Master Chen, please stand up. Tell me what crime you have committed!"

"Master Ten, please be wise. It's all because of my poor governance. A group of bandits appeared in Suzhou and robbed wealthy families. Five or six families have already reported the case. Yesterday, when the gang was robbing the house of Mr. Wang in the south of the city, they were discovered and one of them was stopped. However, the bandit was extremely ferocious and killed several people, but he still escaped!" Chen Pengnian stood up and said tremblingly.

It was really like when it rains it pours. I was more afraid of something happening. But such a vicious case happened when the imperial envoy was visiting Suzhou. I really didn't know how to explain it.

If it was just one or two cases, he would have suppressed it temporarily. But the more he feared something, the more it would come to him. For several days in a row, there were cases reported to him every day, and Chen Pengnian was overwhelmed.

How can I suppress this? It seems that I have reached the end of my career as an official.

Li Yan heard that five or six families had reported the case, but it seemed that half of them did not. He didn't know why. They might not want the government to get involved and expose their family's wealth, so they chose to investigate on their own.

I can still understand the mentality of these big investors!

Even those who reported the case did not dare to say that they had lost several hundred thousand taels of silver. First of all, you have to tell the government how you came to have so much silver. In addition, so much silver was taken away quietly. Maybe there were thieves working together from within the family, and if things go wrong, the investigation will eventually lead to you. So you have to suffer in silence!

Even those who reported the case did not dare to say that they had lost so much silver. Most of them just said that they lost a few hundred taels or some precious antiques and jades.

So Chen Pengnian didn't know that these people had lost so much wealth in less than ten days. If he knew the real amount, he would probably be even more terrified.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan asked, "Master Chen, have you found out who did it?"

"Although the thieves were cautious, they were still surrounded by the guards. We heard one of them speaking the Japanese language. In addition, most of the victims were sea merchants, so we can basically conclude that it was the work of Japanese pirates." Chen Pengnian said carefully.

Li Yan wanted to achieve this effect, speaking the Japanese language was to interfere with the investigation and influence the judgment.

Moreover, because of the frequent occurrence of cases recently, these officials gave him 200,000 taels of silver as a hush money in order to prevent him from interfering, so Li Yan naturally would not meddle in other people's affairs.

Thinking that Chen Pengnian was a good official, he did not want to embarrass him any further, so he comforted him, "Suzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times, and it is inevitable that these thefts and robberies have occurred. It is not a big deal! Lord Chen, just investigate slowly. This prince has been here for more than ten days, and the disaster relief work has not been completed. I will not stay in Suzhou any longer."

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to Hangzhou to raise money and food."

Chen Pengnian was relieved to hear that Master Shi not only did not pursue the matter of the bandits but was also leaving. Although he had wanted Master Shi to leave for a long time, he still tried to persuade him to stay, "I have been busy recently. I just dealt with the issue of grain transportation to the north, and now there is an incident of bandits stealing from a wealthy family. I said I would accompany Master Shi to visit the beautiful scenery of Suzhou when I was free, but I didn't expect you to leave so soon. Why don't you stay for a few more days, and I will accompany Master Shi to have a good look around."

"Forget it. I've already visited almost all of Suzhou during this period of time."

"If we continue playing, I'm afraid Tian Wenjing and the others in Yangzhou will be very worried. Besides, the Emperor is also concerned about the disaster. I won't stay any longer. It's more important to raise money and food as soon as possible. The disaster cannot wait! Thank you very much for your kindness, Lord Chen. Next time, if Lord Chen comes to Beijing, please come to my house. I will accompany you for a drink." Li Yan said with a smile, looking very happy.

Isn't it a pleasure to make so much money?
