Chapter 985 A dirty job!
Huo San, who was in an irritable mood, didn't want to listen to Yang Li's explanation at all and directly ordered in a deep voice:

“Just do your own thing well, other things are none of your business…”

"Yes!" Yang Li bowed and said, deeply regretting that he had said too much just now.

After getting Yang Li's answer, Huo San waved his hand, and Yang Li immediately retreated as if he had been pardoned.

After staying alone in the room for a while, Huo San felt a headache the more he thought about this matter. He immediately asked a few maids to come and give him a massage.

Because Ye Mingsheng, as the commander-in-chief, likes massages. He likes to relax by having massages when he has nothing to do. So, several high-ranking officials of the Fengwu Army also started to like this.

As the maid's pair of white and tender hands slowly rubbed Huo San's temples, Huo San's frown gradually relaxed.

Although he got some physical relaxation, Huo San did not dare to indulge in the enjoyment, and he was always thinking in his heart.

Some time ago, An Miaoyi received a letter from her mother in Luoan. In addition to expressing the love between mother and daughter, the letter also mentioned that An Miaoyi should take good care of the lives of the An family.

It also specifically mentioned that after Shangguan Hongyuan imprisoned the An family, the An family's properties were divided up by other people. After the Fengwu Army entered Luoan, they returned the An family's original properties to the An family.

However, the An family believed that their property was divided up by others when they were in trouble before, and now that they have finally come to an end, they should also divide up other people’s property...
At that time, the An family believed that An Miaoyi was the mistress of the Fengwu Army, which was equivalent to the future queen, and their An family was royal relatives.

So without thinking too much, they just wanted to occupy those industries. However, many of those industries had already been sealed off by the Fengwu Army, so a conflict arose between the two!

The Fengwu Army takes military law very seriously, and according to military regulations, things that have been seized must be dealt with after a decision from above, and no one is allowed to act rashly before that!
Therefore, the An family's behavior of privately occupying the seized property violated the military law of the Fengwu Army, and according to military law, they should be severely punished.

But at that time, Yuan Song took into consideration that the other party was a member of the An family, so for An Miaoyi's sake, he made some concessions and only killed a few servants. He did not kill the leading An family members, but only gave them a whipping to teach them a lesson!
Although Yuan Song had already made some concessions, the An family was still not satisfied and went directly to Yuan Song, hoping that Yuan Song could give them those properties. Yuan Song naturally refused!
The An family members who were rejected felt that Yuan Song really didn't give them face. Not giving them face was tantamount to not giving face to An Miaoyi.

So in this letter written by An Miaoyi’s mother to An Miaoyi, there were many words slandering Yuan Song····························

In addition to slandering Yuan Song, the An family also used this family letter to let An Miaoyi's mother make demands on An Miaoyi, asking An Miaoyi to take care of the family more. It would be best if they could persuade Ye Mingsheng to make a few marquises and high-ranking officials in the An family!

The An family members who did not understand the power structure of the Fengwu Army naively believed that An Miaoyi would soon become the queen, and this could be decided with just a word!
When An Miaoyi saw this family letter, she felt helpless. Born into a powerful family, she was always proud of her family, so taking care of the family was her responsibility and the only thing she should do.

However, An Miaoyi was very clear about the situation of her own family. They were just a few insignificant people. Even if she wanted to help them, it would be difficult for them to succeed. As for blowing pillow talk and conferring more titles of marquis and high officials, that was even more a fantasy!
First of all, although she is the mistress of Fengwu Army and Ye Mingsheng’s legal wife, she has no such influence on Ye Mingsheng at all!
If you insist on saying that Ye Mingsheng will not only disagree, but will anger Ye Mingsheng, and that will lead to no good consequences!
So the proposal of settling down in the family is simply not feasible!
However, An Miaoyi still felt very indebted to the family for being imprisoned because of herself, so she wanted to compensate the family...

But An Miaoyi knew that she had little influence on Yuan Song, so even if she greeted Yuan Song, Yuan Song would not buy it and hand over the confiscated properties to the An family.

But after much thought, An Miaoyi still wanted to help the family. Although Ye Mingsheng had forbidden her to participate in political affairs over the years, all matters big and small in the mansion and various industries under the name of the Ye Mansion were left to An Miaoyi to manage.

Of course, An Miaoyi definitely could not use the Ye Mansion's assets to subsidize the An family. After all, it would be too embarrassing if this matter were to spread, and it would also be easy to be criticized, especially since Ye Cui would be the first one to disagree. However, An Miaoyi had saved some private money over the years in charge of the Ye Mansion.

Therefore, An Miaoyi took out 30,000 taels of silver from her own private money and sent it to the An family, and promised the An family to be patient and not cause trouble. The good days of the An family are still ahead, and if there is a good opportunity in the future, she will definitely help the family.

This matter had originally come to an end, but as the mistress of the Fengwu Army, An Miaoyi had a lot of daily expenses in social interactions, so when she didn't have enough private money in the past, naturally there was no problem.

However, after emptying most of his wallet and giving the An family 30,000 taels of silver, he found it a bit difficult to cope with such daily expenses.

Originally, An Miaoyi could rely on the Ye Mansion's industries to relieve the pressure, but under the backdrop of the Fengwu Army's tight finances, the Ye Mansion's funds were also very tight... So An Miaoyi encountered a difficult problem. In fact, the solution to this problem is very simple, which is to cut back on expenses and reduce some unnecessary personal interactions.

But An Miaoyi was a bit too proud and was unwilling to cut back on some expenses, as she felt that doing so would be a loss of face. Since she was unwilling to cut back on expenses, she could only increase her income. It just so happened that at this time, a businessman named Wang Heng was recommended to An Miaoyi.

Wang Huan said that he had a good project for commercial investment, and he could definitely make money by talking about the project in a very rosy way, but the problem was that he lacked start-up capital.

An Miaoyi was also very wary of this, but Wang Huan said that he did not need An Miaoyi's money. He only needed An Miaoyi to say hello to the Dadongsheng Company so that he could borrow money from the Dadongsheng Company. He would give An Miaoyi 1,000 taels of silver every month and 10,000 taels of silver during the Chinese New Year.

An Miaoyi was a little worried about this, but after Wang Huan repeatedly assured her that it was absolutely safe and without risk, and that they would invest the money in business, and considering that Ye Mingsheng has always encouraged business development, An Miaoyi finally gave a call to Dadongsheng Company.

The Dadongsheng Company was naturally not as stubborn as Yuan Song. Facing An Miaoyi's request, they lent Wang Huan 50,000 taels of silver without saying a word.
At the beginning, An Miaoyi was worried about Wang Huan, so she sent people to keep a close eye on him. However, after seeing that Wang Huan really invested the money in business and repaid his filial piety and the loan from Dadongsheng on time, An Miaoyi became a little lax and didn't send people to keep a close eye on him.

Not long ago, the Coordination Office investigated a case of usury by an underground money house in Shangdang. The investigation went smoothly, but what Huo San did not expect was that the capital used by this underground money house for loan sharking actually came from the Dadongsheng Company!
After finding out that this matter was related to the Dadongsheng Company, Huo San realized that this matter was not simple, so he did not dare to act rashly for a while but instead carefully investigated the course of events!
As Huo San investigates, a huge conspiracy comes to light!
Wang Huan's so-called safe and risk-free business project that could make money was simply a huge lie. After he obtained a loan of 50,000 taels of silver from the Dadongsheng Company, he realized that An Miaoyi was monitoring him, so he did not act rashly and pretend to be doing business.

But when An Miaoyi let down her guard, he handed the money to his partner Zhao Shen, who used the money as capital to run an underground money lender and lend at high interest rates.

Although these two were in cahoots with each other and oppressed the common people, they also understood that the money that belonged to the rich and powerful could not be touched, so they did not dare to give less money to An Miaoyi and Dadongsheng Company...

Even though there is such a huge undisclosed cost, it still made Wang Huan and Zhao Shen very rich!
After investigating the whole matter, Huo San fell into a dilemma. Logically, he should handle the matter impartially!
But the problem is that this matter involves An Miaoyi!
Although An Miaoyi was deceived and didn't know that the money was taken away by the two thieves to open an underground money house for usury, after all, the money was loaned out by the Dadongsheng Company after An Miaoyi had made the request, and there were certain violations in the loan process!

Therefore, if the matter is handled impartially, An Miaoyi will definitely not be able to escape responsibility!
Therefore, if Huo San handled this matter impartially, he would definitely offend An Miaoyi, and Huo San had always been close to An Miaoyi!
Huo San felt that it would be difficult to bring down An Miaoyi with just this kind of thing, and even if he handled the matter impartially and gave the information to Ye Mingsheng, Ye Mingsheng would most likely ask him not to make it public and handle the matter in order to save his family's face!
Therefore, in the end, An Miaoyi will most likely be safe, but he will have offended An Miaoyi to death!
Although the Marshal is now in his prime, it is hard to say what will happen in the future. An Miaoyi is the mistress and Master Jingren is the eldest son, not to mention that there is the old fox Cui Shao behind him...

Therefore, after careful consideration, Huo San suppressed the matter and reported it secretly to An Miaoyi!

An Miaoyi, who knew that she had been cheated, was naturally very angry, and immediately asked Huo San to handle the matter in secret and not let anyone else know, especially not let the internal security department know!

Huo San readily agreed to this. As the director of the Coordination Office, he was accustomed to doing this kind of dirty work. What's more, money is a tempting thing. Zhao Shen still had tens of thousands of taels of silver in stolen money. Even if he had to repay the loan from the Dadongsheng Company, he could make a lot of money by passing it on.

After successfully dealing with Wang Huan, Huo San was going to continue to deal with Zhao Shen, but he did not expect that at this time, the Youyan Censorate also noticed the underground money house run by Zhao Shen!

If someone else was in charge of the Youyan Censorate, the problem would be easier to solve and Huo San would have a way to solve it, but the problem is that the current Censor of Youyan is Murong Hui!

The Murong family is now the biggest political enemy of An Miaoyi and the Cui family in the Fengwu Army. Because Huo San is trying to get closer to An Miaoyi, Huo San and the Murong family don't get along well. Therefore, Murong Hui will definitely not buy into Huo San's ideas!

Especially Murong Hui is a very alert person. If you overreact and make him realize the problem, he will most likely find out everything. In this way, An Miaoyi and Huo San will also suffer the consequences...

Therefore, although Huo San was very unwilling, in order to avoid Murong Hui's suspicion, he had to reluctantly give up the stolen silver from the underground bank. He then ordered his men to cripple Zhao Shen and disguise all this as an ordinary case of an underground bank.

Originally everything was going smoothly as planned, and Murong Hui didn't seem to notice his little tricks. Just when Huo San was secretly rejoicing.

He never expected that Xia Lianyang would show up halfway and hand the case over to the Justice Bureau and to Wang Xuecheng!
Wang Xuecheng used to be the deputy director of the Coordination Office. Huo San knew the ability of his old colleague. The matter might be hidden from Murong Hui, but it definitely could not be hidden from Wang Xuecheng. Once Wang Xuecheng knew the truth, he would most likely report it to the Marshal!

That would ruin everything!
That's why Huo San is so upset now. He doesn't understand why Xia Lianyang, who is obviously An Miaoyi's man, is still fixated on this matter. Is he out of his mind?

After thinking about it, Huo San felt that what Yang Li said just now made some sense. In the current situation, he should communicate with the eldest lady to see if there is any misunderstanding in this matter!
If there really is any misunderstanding, then it would be best if Xia Lianyang took the initiative to suppress the matter. If that is not possible, then I might have to take some extraordinary measures!
Ancha Si Qianshi is a fifth-rank official, not small but not very high-ranking either. If he died suddenly from a serious illness, not many people would pay attention to him·································
