Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Smack, smack, smack, smackThe sounds were very crisp, unlike the muffled sounds when the IdouOn the contrary, it sounded like so beat
After the paddle landed 10 times, it stoppedThe three workshop masters did not end like brother Baoyu with a breath in but no breath outThey also didn't faint like Second Fan
Fan Xian watched the scene with great interestHe couldn't help feeling a bit surprised at how hardy the three10 strikes, they did not even le soundHe knew his subordinates' styleSince he had ordered a beating, no one would hold back
Looking unbelievably reat humiliation today and forced themselves not to make any soundsHowever, the strikes on the body still hurt, particularly since the pain also carried the hu strippedIt caused tears to swell in the eyes of thesewith sos
Fan Xian clapped his hands and said, ”Take them away”
”Yes,” his subordinates replied in unisonThey helped the three masters up and headed out of the ya reached their liet to call out like a et!”
…
…
The yamen immediately fell into silenceThe officials looked at Fan Xian with slight fear in their gazesEveryone knew of Fan Xian's reputationThey were not frodou, so they had never personally experienced the chill within Fan Xian's clean and literary reputationThey didn't know as clearly as the pain felt by the Second Prince's officials
Finally today everyone saw, and felt secret fear, but they could also not help s coldly in secretHe can beat the of the treasurers not for us officials to see? However, no matter how learned Sir Fan was, he was still blind when it came to the matters of the palace treasuryNow that he had badly offended the masters of the three workshops, we'll just see how you clean up this mess
Perhaps Fan Xian did not know about his subordinate officials' intention to watch the trouble in three days, or perhaps he just didn't care about thisHe said a few es in three daysIf there were any illegal actions, they were to check themselvesHe then released theeneral and his close helper, the deputy of the transport cos done in three days, he still needed their help
No one knehat he said to the two officials in the back garden, but their faces became more and more serious until they finally nodded slowlyThey saluted Fan Xian respectfully and then left

”Sir” Su Wenence report from the Overwatch CouncilFan Xian received it shtly as he readIt seemed like the people of the Fourth Bureau had some usesThey had apparently been suppressed by the Eldest Princess and treasurers and never had a chance to showcase their skills
Su Wenht about the scene earlierHe couldn't help but furrow his browsHe gathered the courage to quietly say, ”The three masters of the workshop could be killed”
Fan Xian raised his head to look at hi”Of course they could be killedHowever, killing people isn't like cookingWhat can be eaten should be ate, but those who could be killed do not need to be killed in a rush”
”Sir was too kind before” Su Wenmao was from the First Bureau of the Overwatch Council and ruthless when it ca officialsHe felt that Fan Xian had been too soft in his earlier decisionThree mere mastersIf he wanted to kill them, then kill themSince it was to establish power, soo a ti out 10 strikes?
Unsatisfied, he said, ”Sir just gave thehtI'm afraid it won't make them submit”
Fan Xian waved the Overwatch Council report”With the evidence in my hands, I could chop their three heads off with one stroke and no one would dare say anything”
Su Wenmao paused and reflected that since it was so, then as it thunder and no rain earlier? Why were the three who had no respect for the law in their eyes released?
Fan Xian smiled and explained, ”Thunder and rain are both heavenly favorsIf I had punished harshly earlier, although the officials and the various treasurers would not submit in their hearts and even develop hatred because of their fear, they could only accept itFurther sword, they would settle downThis three-day limit then…in probably just one day the officials will have filled in the debt and the treasurers will send silver like crazy to the yamen”
”Isn't this the scene you want to see?” Su Wenmao was , it will steady the situation for a ti three es would thatmonkey, then the other monkeys will spread outYou know, I cannot, and have no wish to, re timeWhat will happen when I leave? Those ain and steal our corn to eat”
Su WensThe monkeys in the commissioner's example were the many treasurers in the three workshopsIf he had decapitated the three masters today, then the treasurers would, naturally, spit out their silver honestly and return the wages owed to the workersHowever, in that case, the co another chance to wield the butcher's knifeWhen the cozhou, the mountains were south and the roads were farThose treasurers would probably becoain, and the workers in the three workshops would have to welco a pustule” Fan Xian smiled”Your face appears to be cal to rush and rub itOn the contrary, we are going to expand the pore to squeeze out all of the pus”
Su Wenmao pausedIt was clear he had never taken a beauty class, but he understood enough to knohat Fan Xianhe said, ”You said it was co the snake out of its hole?”
”What luring? This is called hitting the snake to startle the snake” Fan Xian touched his neat and s, but he couldn't help s”Anyith the three-day li strikes on thespoiled probably would not be able to endure this at all”
”What if someone returned the silver? Then what?” Su WensHe was afraid that after the shock by the co to ju those who ca the disease and saving people,” Fan Xian said with seriousness”The treasurers who have not broken any Qing laws need only return all the silver, and I will naturally give thee the palace treasury, not to break it”
”Understood”
”When dealing with enemies, we must divide them internally, proceed to order theether what can be grouped…we'll see who jumps out in three days, and then ill knoho has rejected htly”It is not only targeting the treasurersI believe the Eldest Princess left trusted aides here in the palace treasuryThey will not pass up such a good opportunityFro's perspective, we have offended all of the treasurers, and the palace treasury will naturally grind to a standstillAt this moment, they will be sure to jump outHave the people of the Fourth Bureau keep a close watch and write a list of namesI will ask these unstable eleThe coain at the front garden and he carefully asked, ”Only…Sir, the deputy is of Ren Qi'an's family and can be considered trustworthy, but the Ye family?”
Fan Xian understood what he orried aboutAccording to the news frodou, days after the Great Prince 'er finally married the Second Prince, who used this opportunity with the e forward to be released from his house arrest
”Don't worry about itI didn't say too muchI just asked General Ye to pay attention to the routes out of the treasuryI'h to think I could use a feords to win over someone of the Ye family”
Fan Xian smiledWhat he asked General Ye to do was to prevent the treasurers froe and secretly shi+pping out the silver they had taken these yearsAlthoughland, the deeds to the land, as determined by their personality, could only be in their home
”Also, do not casually connect the Ye faether,” Fan Xian said after soht”The Ye and Qin families are equally famous and not as simple as others thinkHow could they only lean toward one prince? That would be too stupidEven if they had a bias, before the situation is clear he will still give roup of treasurers unless Ye Zhong feels the Eh away”
Su Wen moreHe took his orders and left
Fan Xian sat on the chair and sank deep into thoughtAfter a otwill the Second Prince have in the future? He was not a kind person, but he had once said in the teashop outside of Baoyue Brothel that he had wanted to bring the Second Prince down because he wanted to leave hi'er, and partially because he, subconsciously, wanted to pit hi his children with iron and bloodWe'll see if you kno to play better or I kno to play better!
Over the months, the Ye family was played around by the EmperorWithout any other choice to make, they could only lean closer and closer toward the Second PrinceThinking of this, Fan Xian felt a dark fire in his bellyIt was perhaps true that the Emperor planned far ahead, but as the Ehly suspicious scoundrel—it looked like those sitting in different positions all have their own lion chair, his liranting of a an to prepare defenses for no reasonFollowing that was sha the Ye family to stand in opposition to the Crown Prince
The Crown Prince? Then why did the Third Prince have to leave the capital with hi ic ofFan Xian felt a little vexedHe quickly co that if he, the little scoundrel, couldn't understand, then perhaps the old scoundrel ht not understand either
As to why Fan Xian was determined to not reconcile with his mother-in-law, it was not because he had suffered as a son-in-law during the dating periodIt was also not because of the ”look after faIn reality, the reason was if Fan Xian truly joined sides with the Eldest Princess, both parties would increase in power and would beco force, one that was sufficient to rock the foundations of the Qing Kingdo Emperor would not allow
For Fan Xian, who did not hold the power under heaven, his current behavior was very encethe Emperor would not allow, he would certainly not do it; unless if someone wanted to kill him
…
…
In the next two days, Fan Xian took his seven well-dressed an to gradually become familiar with the process in the palace treasuryHe also added a layer of sentie of the Ye familyIt was difficult to not touch the wooden wateres that had happenedSolassblowingUnfortunately, his craftsmanshi+p was terrible and its appearance too beautifulAlthough he didn't blow it successfully, the texture of the glass was still exquisite
The workshops closer to the yamen all knew exactly what the new officials looked likeAlthough they did not dare look directly at the Sir Fan junior of legend, they had carefully stolenmaster was truly very pretty, but cluirls beside hiirl as not as goodHer actions and ere rural-like, and she didn't look anything like a girl fro family
Meanwhile, the four defensive lines htened their patrolsThe patrols of the palace treasury had already been the tightest in the worldThe sudden tightening ih they were not technical secrets of the palace treasury, there were still soht pieces of paper as well as heavy land deeds
Just as Fan Xian expected, the first reaction of the treasurers, including the e workshops and related officials, after the three-days order was given was to send out all of the objects of value close to theive to friends and family outside of the palace treasury
However, after they ran into the strict patrols and searches, the officials and treasurers finally gave upThey knew the new imperial envoy would not allow them to transfer their wealthYet, if these deeds were left by their side…God, if they couldn't fill the debt in three days, does that mean their possessions would be confiscated? These people were definitely not cleanIf the imperial envoy wanted to find faults, death was all around them
