Chapter 820 The Bride Who Died of Fright 7
Back in the bedroom, Ning Yan sat on the bed with great interest, counting the silver. Si Yutang returned to Song Yanzhao's body and found it amusing to see her like this. There were only a little over three hundred taels of silver in total, what was there to count?
He naturally put his arm around Ning Yan's waist and pulled her into his lap. "You really like these?"
Ning Yan happily counted the coins, not breaking free from the man's embrace. "Life is all about money. With money, you can go anywhere; without money, you can't move an inch. Of course I like it."
Feeling the softness in his arms, Si Yutang sighed contentedly, then said, "Then I will give you all my property."
Ning Yan immediately stopped counting the coins. "You still have property? Will your property remain after you die?"
Si Yutang explained, "I have no children, and my relationship with the Princess is one of mutual respect. There are some things I naturally won't tell her."
She remarried not long after my death, so the treasures are still hidden in the same place.
"Then bring it to me quickly, I want it!" What belongs to my man is mine, I can't let someone else have it.
Si Yutang laughed and said, "I am the most powerful regent of Bao Kingdom. Those treasures are not just what I took back from your mother's house tonight. They would probably fill a hundred or eighty carts. Even if I could move freely, I couldn't bring them all."
Is the place where you hid your treasure far from here?
Si Yutang: "I don't know how far it is. This is a place I've never heard of before in my life."
Ning Yan didn't know either. The key point was that the farthest place the original owner had ever been was the town where the Song family lived. No one in the Ning family was educated, and they didn't care about politics. The only thing they knew was that their place had two or three harvests a year, and the whole family was busy all year round.
This should be in the south.
"The capital of Bao Kingdom is in the north. Even if I were a ghost, I could not travel back and forth between the south and the north in one night."
He could not get all his property back, but he could give some of his finest treasures to his wife.
Ning Yan wasn't in a hurry: "I'll go to the study tomorrow to find a map of this country and study it thoroughly before we talk about it."
Upon hearing this, Si Yutang immediately tugged at her clothes, "Then, my wife, let's go to bed. It's getting late."
There are such bold women in this world who aren't afraid at all even knowing he's a ghost. Since that's the case, he naturally wants to be more affectionate with her, since he's already been despicable enough.
Ning Yan didn't refuse. This man was experienced and handsome. Although she could only share a room with him through Song Yanzhao's body, she could see his face and his body, so she didn't mind.
Besides, who told him to have money?
Yes, that's how realistic I am.
The two were quite harmonious that night. Although it only happened twice, Si Yutang was very surprised and enjoyed it. It was completely different from when he was with the princess.
He didn't want to leave when the rooster crowed.
Unfortunately, it was beyond his control.
Before leaving, he made up his mind to find out the real reason why he could appear from time to time. He wanted to be her husband forever, to be together day and night.
However, he was disappointed.
Because they needed to inquire about the Bao Kingdom, and Song Yanzhao didn't have a map, he sat on the table and drew the geographical knowledge he knew on paper. It took them some time before Ning Yan finally understood that they were indeed in the south of the Ran Kingdom, and there were seven other countries surrounding the Ran Kingdom, one of which was called Fan.
When it came to Fan, Song Yanzhao began to talk at length, and he even picked up a book.
This book is also a biography. The protagonist is Yin Ponu, a first-rank general of the Fan Kingdom.
This person is extremely capable. "Without him, there would be no Fan Kingdom. Fan Kingdom was originally a prefecture of Bao Kingdom, so it was called Fan Prefecture. In the later period of Bao Kingdom, uprisings broke out in various places. Many powerful families wanted to gain benefits, so they supported the generals they favored to fight the war."
The chaotic period lasted for several years, eventually ending with a fragmentation of power among various warlords. Several small states emerged during this time, but they were quickly destroyed, like the neighboring state before the Ran state, which had existed for a considerable period.
Until more than forty years ago, a rough man named Yin Ponu appeared in Fan County.
At this time, Fan County was independent, and the Cui family, the original powerful clan of Bao State, was in power. The Cui family had more than 100,000 soldiers. The surrounding small states could not defeat them, and the large states were too lazy to fight them, which is why they were able to survive.
At the age of sixteen, Yin Ponu joined the army and entered the military camp. There, he met Fan Tao and they became sworn brothers because of their similar personalities. The two, one a scholar and the other a warrior, worked together and rose to high positions.
At this time, the Cui family was still in power in the army. The man in charge was jealous of talent and wanted to suppress Yin Ponu and prevent him from climbing any higher.
Yin Ponu escaped death several times, and later Fan Tao encouraged him to rebel against such a ruler.
Surprisingly, the two of them actually succeeded.
Finally, they established the State of Fan with Fan County as its capital.
Fan Tao became emperor and ascended the throne. Yin Ponu was appointed a first-rank general and continued to fight for him. Unfortunately, he died at the age of 28, assassinated.
Ning Yan calculated the founding time of the Kingdom of Fan, and then calculated the current time: "So, does that mean that General Yin has only been dead for 36 years?"
"That's right. After his death, he was posthumously granted the title of King of a Different Surname by Emperor Fan, and the Yin King's Mansion still exists today."
"Does he have children?"
Song Yanzhao said, "No, it is written in this biography that he was injured in a battle. He was not only scarred on his face, but also seriously injured in the abdomen, which affected his offspring. He was unable to have any children. His nephews and nieces inherited the Yin Prince's Mansion."
He then added something else.
"It is said that they are all incompetent. The Yin Prince's Mansion was at its peak when Yin Ponu was first enfeoffed as a prince after his death."
Upon hearing that the man had a scar on his face and had suffered a serious abdominal injury, Ning Yan's heart skipped a beat. She lost her previous leisurely mood, immediately sat up straight, picked up the book from Song Yanzhao's hand, and began to read.
My God, the case is solved! The man who appeared on the first night was none other than Yin Ponu, no doubt about it!
As for the reason for their appearance, Ning Yan began her own journey of verification.
"Husband, you seem to love reading. This book is all worn out from being read so many times, and the one about the Regent of Bao Kingdom from yesterday is too."
Song Yanzhao smiled slightly, "Before, I was weak and couldn't do heavy work or go out to play. Later, I couldn't even walk a little further. The only thing I could do was read books."
When I finished reading all the books at home, I would ask the servant to go to the county to buy me more. But the rate at which new books were being published couldn't keep up with the rate at which I was reading them, so I could only read them repeatedly.
"I can practically recite all these books by heart."
"My husband, just how many of these biographies do you have in your collection?"
Song Yanzhao pointed to the bookshelf, "This side is full of biographies, including those of a prime minister, powerful family heads, and emperors. There must be at least thirty or forty of them."
