The expressions of the two of them were not as flattering as those of the county magistrate Xu Tianyuan. After all, Xu Tianyuan relied on Shi Miyuan for promotion, and the two of them would basically stay in the county government as servants for the rest of their lives.

"Please come inside." Zhou Lai and Niu Bao led Zhao Yurui inside.

Zhao Yurui slowly recalled Zhou Lai and Niu Bao in his mind. They were neighbors. They were only one street away from the home of Quan Bao. They had a good reputation in Shaoxing. They had done nothing to oppress the people. Otherwise, Quan Bao would have done nothing.

I won’t go looking for these two people that day.

"Thanks to you two that day, otherwise my cousin and I would have been in danger. Last time we were panicked and just ran for our lives. We forgot to thank you two." Zhao Yurui thought of this, stopped suddenly, and hugged the two of them.

.

The two of them were a little flattered and quickly said they didn't dare.

At this time, the two eyes looked at Zhao Yurui differently.

"I heard that King Yi is going to the capital tomorrow? I wish King Yi a safe journey," Zhou Lai said at this time.

Zhao Yurui looked at the two of them with a smile, and suddenly said: "Are you two willing to accompany me to Beijing?"

".." The two of them were stunned.

"Don't rush back to me now. Think carefully. If you want, you can bring your family with you to the capital." Zhao Yurui said calmly: "I have just arrived in the capital, and my future is unknown. I also need trustworthy people from my hometown around me.

."

"Of course, I have to ask about this before I can decide. If it doesn't happen, don't blame me."

Zhou Lai and Niu Bao looked at Zhao Yurui blankly, feeling that the young Zhao Yurui was completely different from what they had seen before.

But when they arrived at another courtyard and saw the county magistrate Xu Tianyuan from a distance, Zhao Yurui's expression changed and his walking posture became swaggering.

It’s as if he has changed into a different person in an instant.

The two couldn't help but look at each other.

"King Yi is here." Xu Yuantian greeted him from afar and came directly from another courtyard to greet him.

After coming out, when they saw Zhou Lai and the others, their faces changed again, and they solemnly said: "You guys are guarding outside."

"Here." Zhou Lai and Niu Bao stood far outside the yard.

The two watched Zhao and Rui enter the courtyard, and soon their eyes met.

"What do you mean, Brother Lai, are you going to the capital?" Niu Bao is relatively tall and tall, like a big strong ox. He is also a good man in Shaoxing Yamen. His expression is a little excited now, and he seems to be very excited.

Zhou Lai is tall and slender and looks gentle, and he is much smarter than Niu Bao at first glance.

He thought quietly for a moment, then suddenly picked up a long branch from the ground, and then said: "Niu Bao, take my branch? My branch is a knife, you can't grab the blade."

“..”Niu Bao.

"Come and get it," Zhou Lai said.

Niu Bao reached out and patted his hand. He tried it several times but couldn't get it away, and said angrily: "You should let go."

Zhou Lai grinned and then let go. Niu Bao angrily peeled off his fingers, grabbed the branch, and threw it to the ground: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Lai didn't say anything, thinking in his mind that Quan Yong snatched the knife from Zhao Yurui's hand that day. How could it be so easy?

I'm afraid Zhao and Rui did this on purpose and wanted to kill Qi Bin.

This Zhao Yurui is quite interesting. Will he go to the capital or not?

He thought of what Zhao Yurui said just now. He had just gone to the capital and his future was uncertain. He hoped that there would be some people from his hometown who could trust him.

King Yi is not from Shaoxing, Quan Yong is, and he is really good at talking.

---

Zhao Yurui stared at the room.

This is the inner courtyard of the Qi family. At this time, there are more than twenty boxes placed in the room in the inner courtyard.

The box is full of silver, copper coins and money.

Huizi means banknotes. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Jiaozi was used, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was renamed Huizi.

"The Qi family is really rich. If we hadn't grown so big, we wouldn't have been able to make so much money." Xu Tianyuan, the county magistrate, said with a flattering smile.

The Qi family has more than 300 acres of grain fields. At this time, the price of land in the Southern Song Dynasty fluctuated greatly. There were huge differences among counties and prefectures. Some top-quality fields could be sold for 80 guan per acre, while some could only be sold for 2 guan per acre.

Mu.

But the average price is about 20 to 30 guan per mu, and it will be more expensive in Jiangnan and other places.

Liang Chengda and the others took 100 acres of Qi's unequal land for public use and sold the remaining 200 acres for money.

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty mainly used huizi and copper coins. Silver was relatively small and very valuable. It was only used more in large transactions and at the official level.

More than 200 acres of farmland and some shops were sold for a total of 27,400 taels of silver.

In addition, 2,400 guan of copper coins and 3,700 guan of copper coins were seized from the confiscated property of the Qi family.

Among them, several properties owned by the Qi family were disposed of and turned into copper coins and huizi.

There are more than 10,000 yuan worth of property in the more than 20 boxes at the scene, which is a real wealth.

"tui" Zhao Yurui spat hard: "Qi Xiong is a maniac, a slave to the villagers, a collaborator with the enemy and the country, and has amassed a fortune of millions. He is really the scum of our Song Dynasty."

After saying that, he turned to look at Liang Chengda and said with a serious face: "Thanks to Master Liang for his clear insight, Yao Duzhi understood the righteousness, and Xuzhi County acted righteously, and the people of Shaoxing were given clear and sunny weather."

Xuzhixian had a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, while Yao Bizhi was smiling.

However, Liang Chengda looked deeply at Zhao Yurui and said slowly: "The total amount of money exchanged here is 14,500 guan." (During the Jiading period, one tael of silver was exchanged for two thousand copper coins, and one tael of silver was exchanged for three guan.

Huizi)

"My proposal is divided into five parts."

He looked around, but no one spoke.

"The Prime Minister has one share, and each of the four of us has one share."

Yao Bizhi and Xuzhixian's faces suddenly turned into smiles.

"It's not appropriate, absolutely not appropriate." Suddenly Zhao Yurui said in a deep voice.

".." Several people looked over in disbelief. They didn't expect that the new King Yi at such a young age was so greedy?

Liang Chengda's face suddenly turned red and he stared at Zhao Yurui.

"Master Liang and Yao both know that they are tired from traveling around the capital, and they are also responsible for eliminating national traitors in Shaoxing. Xu Zhixian, I think we can give less, and give 10% to the two of them."

Let you do it? Xuzhi County must be scolding his mother in his heart, but he did not dare to say anything, and said with a flattering expression: "What King Yi said is reasonable, and I support King Yi."

Liang Chengda's mouth twitched slightly, he didn't expect to misunderstand King Yi.

Yao Douzhi cast his bright eyes on Zhao Yurui, and couldn't help but feel that the young Zhao Yurui was becoming more and more pleasing to his eyes.

"King Yi." Liang Chengda glanced at Zhao Yurui at this time and motioned him to come to the side to talk.

The two immediately came to the west side, away from Yao Bizhi and Xu Tianyuan.

"Your Majesty, from now on, you will address your subordinates as I am, but you may not address me again." Liang Chengda said seriously in his first words.

At this time, the vassal kings in the Southern Song Dynasty were usually called by their titles, such as King Yi and King Rong. However, they could also be called kings. Usually, calling them kings would be more intimate. If they were subordinates, they should be called kings.

Liang Chengda affectionately called him "King" because Zhao and Rui wanted to share more of his money.

"Ah" Zhao Yurui paused for a moment, and then said with moved expressions on their faces: "Thank you, Mr. Liang, for your advice. I - the king knows."

Liang Chengda said again: "We have accepted the king's wishes, but - there is also a share of the prime minister, we -"

What he meant was that he and Yao Bizhi could not surpass Shi Miyuan. After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yurui meaningfully.

"Ah" Zhao Yurui said again, and nodded with sudden realization: "I understand." He raised his head and looked at Liang Chengda, and he could still feel the strong greed in Liang Chengda's eyes.

The two quickly returned to their original positions, Liang Chengdao, and thanks to King Yi's kindness, they still divided it into five equal parts.

Xuzhi County is very happy.

Then the five people roughly divided the silver, copper coins, and Huizi into five equal parts. Among them, Prime Minister Shi Miyuan and Zhao Yurui slightly had dozens more coins.

In this way, Zhao Yurui suddenly became rich and received one thousand four hundred and eighty taels of silver, four hundred and eighty guan of copper coins, 750 guan of Huizi, and five large boxes.
