Chapter 349 (2/2)
It was clear the Dan Da and General Lin's as having an effectFrom the second day, no one tried to transfer their propertyA dark breeze began to blow through the e workshopsAs to who began this breeze, the spies scattered around were quietly investigating
At night, the rain fell hard and the river swelledAlthough the embankments were in place and there were no problems, the atmosphere of the chilly winds that howled and the an to an to feel a strong sense of danger and contacted each otherUpper, middle, and lower, there were a total of over 200 treasurersFacing the three-day order, they all had their own plansThose who still had their consciences were prepared to hand over the dirty money and live their life as new peopleSome were afraid of Fan Xian's power and planned to secretly report colleagues for illicit actions to secure their own innocenceHowever, ather in the manor of workshop master and secretly discuss how they should deal with this matter
After the three masters had been beaten, they could only lie on their bedsAlthough their bodies were in different places, the hatred in their hearts toward Fan Xian and the bitter resentment in their eyes were veryto lower their heads to Fan Xian because they had done too sEven if they did lower their heads, it would be difficult to escape death
A the communication between the treasurers, the trusted aides that Xinyang left in the palace treasury had a nasty effectUsing the nadou, they promised the treasurers that the court's first interest was still in the profits that the palace treasury generated and not their sh corruption
What about a single chopstick? What about 10 chopsticks? In the end, an toball with no idea in which direction they were being rolled in
…
…
On the last day of the three-day order, Fan Xian followed the sa, he stayed in the yah the treasurers had not actively cooods and admit to their crimes, quite a few officials had returned some of the silverAs to whether or not it was the full amount, that was a matter that would be discussed laterAt least they had shown a superficial level of respect
Some of the treasurers had secretly confessed and actively come to the Overwatch Council to be witness and name othersNaturally, Fan Xian smiled and acceptedIt looked like the other party was indeed not a solid sheet ofskills were indeed not up to par
He drank his tea and absentht leisurely about the heavy rain last nightThe Qing Kingdoht? Looked like he would have to act quickly, otherwise the silver frotze River before its banks burst
”Sir!”
A terrified voice exploded like the sound of hts
Fan Xian looked around in confusion to see a group of officials all in wet robes running inAll of the officials had been sent out today to the various workshops to announce the final day of the orderWhy did they all run back?
In the lead was the second most senior person in the palace treasury, the deputy of the transport company, Ma JieHis face was full of shockHe held up the front of his robes as he crashed anxiously into the hall, heedless of the water on the ground and his wet shoes
”Sir Ma, why are you in such a rush?” Fan Xian looked at the other party and slightly furrowed his browsHe had Cao Cao's air down perfectly
”Sir, it's not good!” Although Ma Jie knew long ago that the treasurers would certainly push back against the order, hearing thepanickedHe urgently cae workshops are on strike!”
…
…
Fan Xian was slightly surprised and stood dazed on the stone steps
Ma Jie thought that the imperial envoy had been stunned by the sudden bad newsHe wiped the rain froave a pained se workshops on strike? This was sodom had taken over the palace treasuryFan Xian had not killed anyone, and his methods had not been as bloody as those of the Eldest Princess back in the dayHowever, the problem was that Fan Xian had sent out the three-day order, and he held in his hands the spy power that the Eldest Princess never hadHe had also blocked the treasurers' plans to transfer their wealthyHe was fully prepared to take away all of the money that the treasurers had stolen these years
What was e majority of the people, and that hy the treasurers dared to use such a shocking tactic as a strike to fight to the death with Fan Xian
Fan Xian was only surprised for a moment before he came aroundA faint smile floated to the corner of his lipsIn reality, he wasn't shocked that the treasurers had reacted so intenselyHe was just thinking that strikes also existed in this world
”Sir, what do we do? Should we take back the three-day order?” Ma Jie's face was full of expectationHe did not approve, at all, of Fan Xian's orderNow that the treasurers had truly gone on strike, how e workshops of the palace treasury to stop work for a day? Such a large crimeWho could shoulder the burden? Even if the Fan family was not the sa and no one, but the Eo so easily
Completely out of Ma Jie and the other officials' expectations, Fan Xian gently stroked his smooth hair and rolled his neckA faint excitement showed on his face as he said, ”Indeed they didn't let oodWait until I catch the to kill them all…clean them out!”
”Ah?”
The officials stood dumbfounded in the thin rainA pair of ss in the bea a black Overwatch Council robe, led the various transport officials, about 20 people, in a rush to the first workshop that called a strikeThe officials stood outside of the workshopThey couldn't hear the hissing of the furnaces, and there was no black s from the workshopThere was only a deathly silenceThe crowd couldn't help but cast their gazes toward Fan Xian, wondering how exactly he would deal with this kind of silent protest?
No one knew that the Qinian Unit and the swordsnan with Fan Xian, were already wearing raincoats and waiting for their command in silence not far from the workshop
Even further away, General Ye stood with a serious face and tightly clenched fistsHe was restlessly beside Su Wenman, hom he talked on and off withHis mind was entirely on the workshop that went on strikeBehind the two people, a camp of soldiers with knives and spears in hand waited
The striking workers were all gathered in the workshop which was responsible for the creation of glassThere was still reht inside
Fan Xian entered the workshop with steady stepsHe raised his head and looked at the tall workshop ceilingHe then said with approval, ”The rain proofing is doing well”
The workers were huddled at the very back, and their faces were full of terrorThese low-level workers did not knohy today they suddenly stopped workWatching the imperial envoy who had just walked in, they were terrified
At the front of the workshop, a dozen treasurers wearing blue jackets saluted Fan Xian with forced calmness
”Why have you not started work?”
”For your inforuished the fires and broke theequipment, thus ere unable to start work,” said Master Xiao of the First Workshop, with injuries still on his backHe glanced at Fan Xian with eyes full of hatred,
The master and treasurers were not stupidThey knew that couldn't explicitly say they were strikingOtherwise, if Fan Xian actually went crazy and raised his knife to theht to do soThus, they could only find an excuseIn reality they were using a strike to threaten the other party
This was, perhaps, the so-called art of negotiation
In terms of words and poetry, Fan Xian could be said to be an artistIn his actual line of work, he often destroyed art without a sense of aestheticsHe had a serious expression and said, ”The molds are destroyed and the furnace is wetWhat about the Second Workshop? Perhaps ealed? Perhaps the weavingfor master Xiao to reply, he narrowed his eyes and said, ”I think it's your brains that have rusted!”
There was no so-called negotiationFan Xian only needed someone to cause troubleIt was absolutely necessary for the people in charge of the technical skills of the palace treasury to changeHow could he pass up this opportunity?
”Come, chop off this master Xiao's head and use his blood to warm the furnace” Fan Xian clapped his hands and said in an even voice
Xiao paused as if he hadn't understood theof the imperial envoy's words
As soon as Fan Xian's words left hisOverwatch Officials entered the workshopOne of the subordinates brought a chair for Fan Xian to sit onA few others quickly and cleanly forced the ed him to a furnace about 15 meters away
Fan Xian waved his hand
The transport officials behind him exploded into clamorDeputy Ma felt anxiety attack his heartHe cried out in fear, ”Sir, you can't do that!”
Xiao, who had been pushed to the door of the furnace, finally woke fro to kill hiht for his lifeBoth his feet pushed against the dirt on the ground with a scratching soundWith tears he cried, ”Spare me, sir, spare me!”
When the idiots of the world, who could not clearly perceive the situation, cried for mercy as they were about to die, it was too late
The treasurers friendly with Xiao stared with bulging eyesThey all rushed forward thinking to rescue hiht flashed out
A head with a slightly dark co sound, the fresh blood struck the walls of the furnace
The workshop exploded with countless cries of shockAll the people had been stunned by the bloody sight before themThe treasurers howled and were scaredIn a flash, they all stopped their footsteps forward at the same timeAt this moment, their innate self-preservation triulanced at the head in the furnace and looked again at the hundreds of workers gathered at the back of the workshopTheir faces were full of fearHe said calmly, ”When I kill someone, naturally I have my reasons”
Chapter 349 Palace Treasury StrikeTranslator Nyoi Bo Studio Editor Nyoi Bo StudioSmack, smack, smack, smackThe sounds were very crisp, unlike the muffled sounds when the IdouOn the contrary, it sounded like so beatAfter 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 FanFan 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 backLooking 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 sosFan Xian clapped his hands and said, Take them awayYes, 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 officialsFinally 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 messPerhaps 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 helpNo 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 leftSirSu 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 skillsSu 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 killedFan Xian raised his head to look at hiOf 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 rushSir was too kind beforeSu 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 submitFan Xian waved the Overwatch Council reportWith the evidence in my hands, I could chop their three heads off with one stroke and no one would dare say anythingSu 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 yamenIsn 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 eatSu 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 pustuleFan Xian smiledYour 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 pusSu 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 snakeFan Xian touched his neat and s, but he couldn t help sAnyith the three day li strikes on thespoiled probably would not be able to endure this at allWhat if soivingsHe was afraid that after the shock by the co to ju those who ca the disease and saving people, Fan Xian said with seriousnessThe 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 itUnderstoodWhen 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 eting 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 fa to the news frodou, days after the Great Princeer finally married the Second Prince, who used this opportunity with the e forward to be released from his house arrestDon 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 familyFan 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 homeAlso, do not casually connect the Ye faether, Fan Xian said after sohtThe 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 awaySu Wen moreHe took his orders and leftFan 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 PrinceThe 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 eitherAs 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 allowFor 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 himIn 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 exquisiteThe 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 familyMeanwhile, 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 deedsJust 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 treasuryHowever, 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 the an effectFrom the second day, no one tried to transfer their propertyA dark breeze began to blow through the e workshopsAs to who began
