In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

Chapter 106 Transferring Property

Qi Wan arranged the transfer of property properly and in an orderly manner, making sure he could retreat or defend, to ensure the safety of his family and property.

Then she came up with another idea: "Since our nephew was born, no one knows what he looks like because of taboos. We might as well take this opportunity to send him to a safe place and find another child to replace him. This way, we can ensure his safety without arousing other people's suspicion."

After hearing Qi Wan's proposal, Old Master Qi thought about it carefully and nodded, expressing his agreement, "We can send a trusted person to a safe place to take care of him first, and then bring him back after the situation has calmed down."

Except for the mother Zheng who was reluctant, everyone in the family agreed, "This is a good idea."

Zheng wiped her tears, she also knew the importance of the matter. As long as the few months old child was sent away, the adults in the Qi Mansion would be able to escape easily. If necessary, they could even fight their way out of the capital.

Qi Wan analyzed for everyone: "The most powerful army in the capital is the Qi army, but now the Qi army is facing the withdrawal of its general and is about to be disbanded. In this case, the emperor will not use the Qi army to hunt us down."

"The Qin family and the Cheng family have a large army and are somewhat friendly with our family, so they will not kill us."

"As long as we have no scruples, there will be no problem for our family to escape."

However, if you are carrying a baby in swaddling clothes, it is very easy for someone to threaten you. In that case, not only the child but everyone in the mansion will die.

After the discussion, Pei and Zheng immediately called the nurse to tell her about the current situation, "Our family has been stripped of their official positions, and we may be in danger in the future."

Pei asked the nurse again, "Are you and your husband willing to take Jun'er to a safe place to hide? There will be a big reward later."

The nurse knelt down on the spot and promised, "My family will protect the young master. We will leave our son Asong in the mansion."

The wet nurse knew in her heart that since the master valued her and trusted her, in order to prove to the master that she would take good care of the young master wholeheartedly, she left her son at home.

Zheng assured her, "We will send someone to take good care of Ah Song, and we will train Ah Song as our own child in the future."

The nurse agreed straightforwardly, "I will obey the master's orders."

She was originally Zheng's maid who came with her as a dowry, and most of her family members worked as servants in the Zheng mansion. Naturally, she would do her best to take good care of the young master and get more favors from her family members.

Qi Yuan followed the plan, took dozens of servants, and hired a hundred people from several escort agencies, and hurried out of the city to look for his second uncle.

When he and his men set up camp to rest a hundred miles away from the capital, the wet nurse and her husband quietly left with the young master and headed for a farm of the Zheng family not far away.

Pei also sent people to move all the dowry, property, gold, silver, jewelry and other valuables into the east wing of half the courtyard. After counting them, she closed the doors and windows.

Qi Wan turned her rosary beads, and several rays of light flashed in the sky.

At night, Pei secretly went to check the east wing and was shocked to find that "there was nothing there. How did Ah Wan move all these things away?"

She was very puzzled and asked her daughter secretly, "It has been moved."

"Yes, mother, don't worry, I'll put it in the safest place." Qi Wan smiled. There shouldn't be a place in the world safer than her space, right?

"Okay!" Pei smiled.

After Qi Yuan and his men left, the gate of the Qi Mansion was closed. Except for the servants who entered and exited through the corner gate, the master no longer went out.

The new emperor first sent tens of thousands of soldiers, "Go and find the whereabouts of the silver."

Then they hurriedly sent a message several hundred miles away, "ordering officials from the Guangzhou government to escort Qi Xiang's wife and children to the capital."

The new emperor was furious at the morning court, "There has been no problems transporting silver from Guangzhou for so many years, how come something went wrong today?"

"Qi Xiang must have escaped with the money."

When Shangshu Wu saw that all the officials were silent, he relied on his position as the new emperor's confidant and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do in the face of natural disasters. We must find the silver now. So much silver has washed into the river, and I don't know when we can get it out."

What he meant was that he disagreed with the claim that Qi Xiang ran away with the money, but that Qi Xiang encountered a flood.

With an army of 20,000 men protecting him, how could he possibly convince half of them to escape with him?

Wu Shangshu suggested, "Why not let the Ministry of Revenue find another way to raise money so that we can get through this year and the next year will be more prosperous."

All the civil and military officials looked at Lu Fengyun.

Prime Minister Pei pursed his lips. He found it funny that Lu Fengyun, who had always been extremely intelligent, had done something that resulted in him losing both fame and fortune.

He thought to himself, “No matter how smart a person is, as long as he has an intention, he will be trapped by what he wants.”

The Lu family wants power very much, so once Lu Fengyun gets involved, he can forget about getting out of this mess.

The new emperor also set his eyes on the Lu Fengyun brothers.

He started to make arrangements, "Minister Lu, go borrow some money and do the things next year. He will return the principal and interest after the new year."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Fengyun stepped forward, saluted and shouted, "I obey your order."

Lu Fengyun regretted taking on such a huge mess, but he was in a difficult situation.
