I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times - #990 - Chapter 990 A clear preference

Your Majesty, the transactions of the secret door in the past few years are all here. Please ask Your Majesty to decide the list of transactions. As for the original accounts, I have sent people to the hiding place to collect the stolen goods. After counting, they will be directly entered into the treasury.

After listening to Ma Fuyin’s report, Emperor Cheng Xuan nodded and was in a good mood.

My dear, this matter was handled safely. I am very pleased that the security of Kyoto is in your hands.

It is my duty to share the worries of the Holy One. I dare not take credit for it.

As Ma Fuyin spoke, he glanced at Bai Hanlin, who had an upright posture, from the corner of his eye. His thoughts changed a little, and he spoke seriously,

This case is progressing smoothly, thanks to Bai Hanlin’s help. Without his guidance, I may have to delay it for a few days.

Well, it’s really hard for Bai Aiqing to be frightened again and again. Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at Xiao Wu standing there with lowered eyebrows, curved the corners of his mouth, and softly comforted him.

Look, this is the favorite, so he needs to mention it more.

It’s true that I was shocked. It’s hard work. It’s all Master Ma who acted resolutely and found the hideout in time to catch them all. This not only stabilizes the security of Kyoto, but also increases the treasury of the Holy Lord.

Bai Xiaowu bowed with a righteous face.

Okay, stop complimenting each other. We all have merit and deserve rewards.

Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at the account book and felt really comfortable. This small secret door organization, in just three years, has made as much as one million taels of revenue, which is a huge profit.

I didn’t expect that the business of avenging others and helping others kill people and buy goods could actually make so much money. He was richer than the emperor himself, and he didn’t even have that much cash in his personal treasury.

Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at the two books in front of him, picked up the list, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

These people are really well-off, and they start with just ten thousand taels, which is so generous.

A few years ago, when the court encountered disasters, everyone and the late emperor lamented their poverty and had to wear patched clothes to go to court.

While the book was in hand, he had to think carefully about how he could get some money out of their mouths to fill his private treasury. A few years ago, in order to provide disaster relief, the imperial court still owed the border guards a year’s military expenses and has not renewed it.

After Ma Fuyin reported it, seeing that nothing happened to him, he immediately resigned with a wink.

After leaving the Wende Hall, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He looked back at Bai Hanlin and had to admire him. He was worthy of being the famous person next to the Holy Emperor. He was confident and casual.

Unlike him, his legs became weak after staying for a while.

Emperor Cheng Xuan threw the booklet on the desk and nuzzled at Xiaowu, Ai Qing, take a look.

Xiao Wu was not polite. He picked up the book and read it quickly, then put it on the desk. As expected of a well-established century-old clan, they are really rich.

Emperor Cheng Xuan: …

Poke him in the heart, right?

The border guards have been having a hard time in the past few years, especially in cold places like the northwest and northeast. They are still owed one year of military expenses. The imperial treasury is empty and can only barely provide rations. I have always wanted to supplement their military pay. But the Ministry of Household Affairs can’t come up with any money, so what can I do to help you?”

Listening to the official’s inquiry, Xiao Wu twirled his little finger, wondering if there was anything he didn’t understand.

I’m so greedy for the money from those aristocratic families.

The Holy One cares about the country and the people, which is admirable. Although I came from a poor family, I am still willing to do my little bit. As the saying goes, when the country is in trouble, everyone has a responsibility. Naturally, those aristocratic families with hundreds of years of hairpins will not stand idly by. I am willing to be a pawn on the horse. Serve as an example.”

I feel my love for you, my loyalty to you, and my patriotism. Let’s go.

Emperor Cheng Xuan waved his hands with satisfaction and watched Xiao Wu leave. He picked up the book and read it again, his face darkened slightly.

Everyone is the richest in the world, only the treasury’s purse is flat and poor.

Manager Wang, why do they have to go against me?

Hearing the official’s inquiry, Wang Deren was frightened and said, Your Majesty, please calm down. With Bai Hanlin stepping in, there should be no problem with the military supplies for the border guards.

How should he, a chamberlain, answer the topic of ministers being richer than officials?

Fortunately, Bai Hanlin usually accompanies the Holy Spirit to talk and solve problems, which saves them a lot of worry as they serve closely.

Look, with just a few casual words from an official, the head on his neck can be lost if he is not careful.

Looking back, he must have a good relationship with Bai Hanlin, which can save lives at critical moments.

Sure enough, when Wang Deren mentioned Bai Hanlin, Emperor Cheng Xuan immediately felt much better, Bai Hanlin is indeed good and thoughtful.

His Majesty’s eyes are so far away that he can tell at a glance that Bai Hanlin is the thousand-mile horse.

You are Bole, please spare us little shrimps, right?

The slaves couldn’t bear such a surprise.

Bai Xiaowu returned to his mansion. He first visited his son and his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, then went to visit his mother and told her the news that the secret door had been stolen.

After this incident, Kyoto will be quieter for a while, and my mother will feel more at ease when she goes out.

Listening to the news brought back by Xiao Wu, Bai Yunxi’s eyes lit up, Is there any unexpected gain?

If you destroy an organization in one pot, you will definitely gain a lot of good things.

My mother’s guess is good. There are more than one million taels of cash stored in the secret door. This is the income in the past three years. As for how much there was in the past, it is no longer possible to calculate.

Baiyunxi: …

So profitable?

In addition, there is a list of people who have done business with the secret door in the past three years. Among them are many court officials and local gentry.

Hearing this, Baiyunxi was stunned. Was he named?

If this was placed on the official desk, would you still want to live?

How miserable!

Did the officials leave this matter to you?

As expected, my mother knew things well. The officials were in arrears with the pay for the border guards, and she felt very uneasy. If someone had generously donated money to share the worries of the officials and done their best for the court, they would be safe and sound.

Xiao Wu said and chuckled, Although our family comes from a poor background, we can barely afford a hundred and eighty taels. The main thing is to unite as one and work together.

Listening to Xiao Wu’s tone, Bai Yunxi’s mouth twitched.

Having said that, you still have to pay attention to strategy. You must know that these hairpin families have worked hard for generations to get to where they are today, and their methods cannot be underestimated. I’m afraid it won’t be easy if you want them to pay.

Of course I know this, so I have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. I don’t have to follow behind to ask for it, but I have to let them take the initiative to deliver it.

Bai Yunxi looked at him blankly, and twitched the corner of his mouth, That’s a lot of money. You think it’s cabbage and radish on the street.

The handle is in the hands of the officials. It is human nature to waste money and eliminate disasters.

Xiao Wu didn’t know what to do, his eyes were deep and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, which made people scared just by looking at him.

A few days later, rumors suddenly appeared on the street that everyone applauded, saying that Jingzhao Mansion had raided the secret door’s den in one go, and not only seized a large amount of stolen money but also a list of transactions with the secret door over the years.

Everyone who has done business with the secret door is on the book.
