Apart from martial arts, he had accumulated more than five thousand taels of gold and more than one million taels of silver.
There were also other miscellaneous medicinal herbs, jade, antiques…as well as precious armor and weapons.
Just these things alone were enough to make countless people go crazy!
But to Zhang Chen, these were the lowest rewards.
For example, the folding fan in his hand that was made of the best quality sapphire, the martial warrior suit that was woven with pure blood silk, and the boots that were tanned with the skin of the Northern Snow Lion and inlaid with pigeon eggs. Which of these things could not be bought with thousands of gold?
And these good things were just rewards for catching a few ruffians who extorted good people.
After the inventory check, Zhang Chen couldn't help but look forward to the final reward of the Tingzhou tax case.
It was just a few scattered small cases, yet there were so many rewards.
If more rewards were accumulated and converted into one reward, how shocking would the final reward be?
Someone knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Ye Qingxian pushed the door open and entered. She sized up Zhang Chen for a moment, and her pupils suddenly constricted.
As Princess Kagura's personal bodyguard, Ye Qingxian was naturally treated with high standards in terms of clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation.
Her eyesight was also extraordinary, so she could tell at a glance how precious Zhang Chen's clothes were.
Women loved beauty. When she was in the capital, she wore the best materials, the latest styles, and the most beautiful styles.
Therefore, she had never envied anyone in terms of dressing.
However, when she saw Zhang Chen's outfit today, she was envious from the bottom of her heart.
The Xiezhi crown on his head was inlaid with an ice-type jade that was as big as a quail egg. The carving was extremely exquisite, and even the hair of the Xiezhi was visible.
The hairpin used to secure the crown was carved out of snow-white metal, and a thumb-sized piece of suet white jade was embedded on it.
Ye Qingxian was sure that the snow-white metal was not something common like silver.
The Pisces Honeysuckle belt on his waist was also made of snow-white metal and high-quality leather. It was also inlaid with black pearls, making it look low-key but luxurious.
The other small accessories such as sachets, thumb rings, wine jugs…every single one of them was extremely exquisite.
As a servant by the princess's side, his salary would naturally not be small.
However, Ye Qingxian felt that she could not afford any of these things.
A hint of intoxication flashed in her eyes as she muttered,"These things on you look priceless. Where did they come from?”
"What's the matter?" Zhang Chen asked.”
However, Ye Qingxian did not intend to let it go so easily. She muttered,"Recently, we've been almost inseparable. I was there when interrogating the criminals. I can confirm that these things on you are not stolen goods…Where did you get them?”
"Everyone has their secrets. Can you not get to the bottom of it?" Zhang Chen said helplessly. If you want it, I can give it to you. Why bother?”
Ye Qingxian glared at Zhang Chen and said angrily,""You've already worn it, who cares!"
"When did I say that I'm giving you this set of clothes?" Zhang Chen asked in bafflement. Do you want it?”
Ye Qingxian's eyes lit up. She turned her head and said,""I don't want your gift.”
"Alright!" Zhang Chen nodded. Then keep it for someone else!"
"You!" Ye Qingxian was annoyed and said,""If you want to give it to me, then give it. Why are you telling me?”
Zhang Chen didn't say anything, and the air suddenly became quiet.
After a long time, Ye Qingxian suddenly said,""Hey! Why aren't you talking?"
"You won't let me say it!" Zhang Chen said faintly.”
" Then if I tell you to die, will you die?" Ye Qingxian said hatefully.”
"Of course not!" " I can save some energy if I don't talk," Zhang Chen said happily." What good is there in dying?"”
"Blockhead!" Ye Qingxian gritted her teeth. Serves you right for not being able to get a wife even though you're in your twenties!”
"Believe it or not, after this case is over, the number of people who want to propose marriage to me when I return to the capital will line up to the Vermilion Bird Sect."”
Ye Qingxian was silent. She thought about it carefully and it seemed that it was really possible.
The Tingzhou tax and silver case that had not been solved by several successive imperial envoys, if it was solved by Zhang Chen, the Emperor would definitely reward him generously.
At that time, Zhang Chen would definitely be promoted and make a fortune. Perhaps he would become a new aristocrat in the capital. How could there not be many people coming to propose marriage?
Ye Qingxian suddenly felt a little nervous at the thought. She did not know why she was nervous, but the more she probed, the more irritated she became.
Thinking of the purpose of this trip, she threw away her distracting thoughts and said calmly,"The troops sent by Her Highness have arrived. How do you plan to use them?”
"Tell them to keep an eye on the Tingzhou garrison. Wherever the garrison goes, they will follow.”
The reason why Zhang Chen had asked Ye Qing Xian to ask for a royal army in the letter was to deal with the Tingzhou garrison.
He had decided to stay put earlier because he was afraid of the Ting Province garrison.
Because martial arts flourished in this world, there were many martial arts experts in the world.
In order to stabilize their rule, the dynasty would definitely think of ways to guard against those lawless martial arts masters.
How to guard against the martial arts experts? In a situation where there was a huge difference in individual strength, the only thing that could be done was to strengthen the research of armaments.
Thus, the weapons in the Great Xia army were extremely terrifying.
Some terrifying crossbows could even easily pierce through the protective energy of a grandmaster!
