Chapter 115: Collecting Wealth
The eldest lord and the eldest lady glanced at each other, and there was a flash of clarity in their eyes, no wonder they couldn't find it for so many years, it turned out that there were still special people to guard them.
"If you ask for it, he will definitely give it!" the eldest lady looked expectant.
Wang Caiqi pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "How much silver do you want?"
The eldest lord and the relatives present were a little silent, and finally the second grandfather said: "Three million taels of silver!"
Wang Caiqi's hairs stood up, and when she saw everyone's complicated eyes, she suddenly laughed wildly: "Hahaha, three million taels?
"Don't you want to give?" Feeling Wang Caiqi's ridicule, the eldest lord was furious.
"Don't say I really don't have it, even if I do, I won't give it to you!" Wang Caiqi looked contemptuous, looking like I care about your life or death.
"This is a major event in the family, the north is frozen, the southwest is raining continuously, the grain is not harvested, the country is about to use the money, we must make up for it with three million taels of silver, if not, but the big event of raiding the family and exterminating the family, you don't want to be implicated!"
The eldest lord was very anxious.
Wang Caiqi finally understood why so many people came to assassinate herself last night, and when she fought against those black-clothed killers, she could clearly feel that the other party had no intention of killing herself, and just wanted to capture herself.
It turned out that in addition to the eldest brother's injury, there was also this reason.
She suddenly rang the pamphlet that Bai Zhi had given her, which recorded in detail how the eldest lord had been an official in the past few years, how he had collected money and expanded himself, he was in charge of the household department, and the household department was in charge of money and food, and she remembered several accounts very clearly.
One of them, I don't know what year it was, the eldest lord distributed the frontier military rations, and in addition to the normal salaries, he transferred an extra 1 million taels of silver into his private pocket.
Of course, seventy percent of the million taels of silver were sent to the prince's mansion.
There are also a few disaster reliefs, and the eldest lord will take the opportunity to collect money with his conscience.
One after another, there are all kinds of things, more than three million and twenty thousand taels, maybe some of the princes have been given to him, but what does it matter to the other families?
"Second grandfather, have you also embezzled the imperial court's grain?" Wang Caiqi looked at him suspiciously.
The second grandfather laughed dryly, and said: "My little, the emperor is merciful, many ministers in the court are from poor backgrounds, and it is inevitable that they need to use silver, so the emperor allows us to borrow silver from the court if we are in difficulty, press the handprint, and then we can go." ”
Wang Caiqi was stunned for a moment, the things in her memory turned around in her mind, and she asked suspiciously: "Second grandfather, don't you have no official position?
"Yes...... It's your cousin, he is a six-grade petty official in the court, this is not your eldest uncle's light, and the household department gives more money!"
"Oh!" Wang Caiqi let out a long sigh, looked at the eldest lord again, and said, "The affairs of the household department, isn't it in the hands of the eldest lord, won't you just cross out your deficit when the time comes?"
"Fifty thousand taels is a lot!" said the eldest lord sullenly on the side, his face full of depression.
"It's only 50,000 taels!" Wang Caiqi's eyes rolled, and then he instructed Bai Mei: "Bring my makeup box!"
The second grandfather was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you!" thanked him again and again.
The faces of everyone present also looked good one by one, as if they had let go of their worries, relaxed and not so restrained.
"Second grandpa is polite, I can't help much, the emperor and queen rewarded me with a lot of gold and silver, let's take it out, everyone will share it equally!"
It slowly opened in the expectant gaze of everyone, and suddenly the jewels lit up.
However, when the people saw a few grains of broken silver and golden beans in the box, they became discouraged.
"This ...... This...... Isn't the sixth girl a trick, right?" Hope was shattered, and the second grandfather's face turned red and his face was full of anger.
"It's too much!" the old man shook his sleeves and roared.
"How can you tease the elders so contemptuously?" the eldest lady glared angrily, feeling humiliated.
"Is this money here to send a meal?" The people present were angry, everyone was angry, and almost pointed at Wang Caiqi's nose and scolded.
Wang Caiqi sat indifferently, the corners of her mouth provoked a touch of disdain, she casually pointed to a young boy behind the second grandfather, and said in a calm voice: "You! Three months ago, you came to play with your eldest brother, and when you saw me working, the water wiping the railing accidentally splashed at your feet, on the upper of your shoes, what did you tell me?"
The young boy's face turned pale, he lowered his head, and he did not dare to speak.
"You say, I'm a cheap breed that no one wants, a sinister obstacle without a father and no mother, saying that I don't deserve to live in the Wang family, and I'm a shame for your Wang family, what do you want me to do?"
Wang Caiqi looked indifferent, and continued: "You say, let me lick the soles of your shoes clean, I don't obey, you and my eldest brother beat me, I still can't understand my hatred, and finally I am still in the cold pool, saying, sluts deserve to die!"
"Really?"
The last two words, Wang Caiqi said lightly, and everyone present felt a chill down their spines.
In the ghostly evil eyes, there seems to be a ghostly ghost fire burning, as if it can pull away people's souls in an instant, the clean and beautiful eyes are so calm, and the pale and weak little face has the confused light of memory, some trance, and some blur, no hatred, no anger, but not empty at all, but like an abyss, a bottomless abyss.
The three tablets on the altar are set against the backdrop, and the ever-bright lamps on both sides emit a faint and cold light.
Everyone was stunned, even the eldest man was stunned.
"You ......" Wang Caiqi pointed to a middle-aged woman, although her clothes were not as luxurious as the eldest lady, her body was plump, and her slightly chubby face trembled at Wang Caiqi's gaze.
"Let me think about when, yes, one night, you came to ask the eldest lady for something, the eldest lady didn't answer, passing by a dark long corridor, and saw me squatting on the ground dozing, what did you do?"
"Yes, I'm sorry...... the middle-aged woman immediately apologized and almost knelt down, which is said to be Wang Caiqi's cousin.
"It's late!" Wang Caiqi said lightly.
Then their eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and every time they looked at someone, they all bowed their heads weakly, of course, except for a few grandparents, they naturally wouldn't waste time on themselves.
"I won't list them all here, I said, if you don't have money now, even if you have money, I won't give it to you!" After saying this, she glanced at the door unceremoniously, meaning that she had driven people out.
"It's been so long, you still remember it, poisonous woman, poisonous woman!" The second grandfather pointed to Wang Caiqi's nose and scolded angrily, and after scolding, he left angrily.
"What's in it for you if something happens to the Wang family? Can't you help us?" the eldest man rarely spoke softly, and there was some pleading in his tone.
He knew what his wife had done to Wang Caiqi in the past, so he didn't want the eldest lady to speak, he said it himself.
But it didn't work.
"I really don't have any money, since the eldest lord wants to borrow money, I can help you introduce someone!" Wang Caiqi changed his words and said.
"Who?
"No, Ouyang Beichen!" Wang Caiqi said Ouyang Beichen's name, and he remembered that he seemed to be very rich.
The eldest lord shook his head.
Wang Caiqi knew in his heart that it seemed that he was not without money, but just ...... I just want to squeeze some out of myself.
