Chapter 22: Is Being a Killer So Profitable?
Xiao Xiazi glanced at the note, which read: Surprise inspection of 100,000 taels tonight, failure is a felony, do not enter the palace, there is a secret whistle.
"Your Majesty, does this really work?"
"Whether it's useful or not, I'll know tomorrow, let's use a dead horse as a live horse doctor." Shi Yu took off the pillow on his waist and lay back down.
It is naturally not possible to rely on Lin Zijie to get 100,000 taels, but after all, the Lin family has been in the dynasty for many years, and they still have some family backgrounds, so it should not be too difficult to get together 100,000 taels.
As for the birthday banquet, it was obvious that the Lin family was reluctant to pay off Lin Zijie's gambling debts, so they put the idea on the silver of the treasury.
But now, as long as the Lin family believes that Jing Heng really intends to use this matter to deal with the Lin family, they are naturally reluctant to watch Lin Zi's outstanding deeds.
"Your Majesty, even if it is really useful, will you be too anxious at this time, it is better to put it until tomorrow and leave more time for the Lin family to prepare."
"The more urgent, the better, if you stay for too long, the Lin family may find a way to enter the palace for verification."
With this note alone, it is difficult for Lin Zhenghong to completely believe that this is the news given by the Empress Dowager Lin, but he deliberately paved the way in front of Lin Zijie just now, so it should not be difficult for Lin Zijie to believe.
And as long as Lin Zijie panicked, it would more or less affect Lin Zhenghong's judgment.
Coupled with the urgent time, Lin Zhenghong should choose to prepare 100,000 taels first.
Xiao Xiazi thought about it, felt that it made sense, didn't say anything more, and immediately ordered to hand over the note to Zhang San.
"By the way, there's one more thing!"
Behind him, Shi Yu spoke again.
Xiao Xiazi hurriedly turned around and asked nervously, "Your Majesty, is there anything else to pay attention to?" ”
"Get me some melon seeds, I'm tired of eating too much of this candied fruit."
Natsuko: "......"
The note has been handed over to Zhang San, and he has been instructed what to do after that.
Just like yesterday, all Shi Yu can do now is wait.
However, compared with yesterday, today's Shi Yu's heart is much more steady.
Leaning on the bed, eating candied fruit, knocking melon seeds, and beckoning Xiao Xiazi to bring a plate of oranges for herself.
"Your Majesty, you are really a patient with the best appetite that a slave has ever seen." Natsuko put the orange on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but speak.
"It's my waist that hurts, not my mouth."
As Shi Yu spoke, he peeled a petal of orange and stuffed it into his mouth, frowning sourly in an instant.
"Why is it so sour!"
"The minion asked someone to change it for you."
"Don't bother, leave it here." Shi Yu waved his hand and looked at the sky outside that was already dark, "The Lin family, I don't know what the situation is now." ”
With yesterday's lesson, Xiao Xiazi lost his previous confidence, and sighed and said: "Your Majesty, why do you think the slave is so unreliable." ”
According to the emperor's plan, Zhang San sneaked in, and after the Lin family prepared 100,000 taels, he stole it back unknowingly.
I failed to rob on the street before, and this time I have to sneak in and steal it unknowingly.
He felt that the chances of success were too small!
Shi Yu raised his eyebrows, "You have to have confidence in Zhang San, is he the person you recommend." ”
"The minion was too confident before." Xiao Xiazi sighed, "Your Majesty, what if you fail this time?" ”
Shi Yu took the candied hand and paused, "That's ...... Go get me a roast chicken again!" Before I was completely bankrupt, I wanted to eat more. ”
Xiao Xiazi: "......" how do you feel that the emperor is like being a full ghost and going on the road.
Although he was speechless, Xiao Xiazi was still ordered to prepare to go to the imperial dining room, and just as he was about to leave, Zhang San came back.
"Why did you come back so early?" Xiao Xiazi was stunned.
Finished! I came back so early, and I guess I found it before I saw the silver.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiazi sighed in his heart, patted Zhang San's shoulder, and said to Shi Yu again: "Your Majesty, the slave should prepare two for you, you can eat more." ”
"The money is back." Zhang San pulled out a thick stack of silver tickets from his sleeve.
Natsuko: "??? ”
"Really got it back, so smooth?" Xiao Natsuko was surprised and delighted.
Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and also asked, "Why is it so fast?" ”
"As the emperor guessed, the Lin family decided to prepare 100,000 taels of silver tickets first just in case, regardless of whether the news is true or not."
"They're raising money so fast?" Shi Yu was a little surprised.
Zhang San shook his head, "You don't need to raise it, the Lin family's treasury has it, and you directly took 100,000 taels of silver tickets." ”
Shi Yu: "......" Sure enough, she is the only one who is poor!
Shi Yu looked at the silver ticket in his hand and said seriously: "You say, what if I ordered the Lin family to be copied?" ”
Xiao Xiazi was taken aback, "Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to raid your house?" ”
Shi Yu took a deep breath, and his eyes were filled with a bit of bitterness, "Because, I'm poor and crazy!" ”
Xiao Xiazi: "......" forget it, he should go and get roast chicken for the emperor.
Xiao Xiazi had already left, and Zhang San stood silently in the dormitory, looking at Shi Yu, whose face was still full of bitterness, and stopped talking.
Shi Yu thought that the other party was worried that he would unload the mill and kill the donkey, "Since I promised to let you stay in Hanguang Palace, I will not regret it, you can rest assured." ”
"It's not." Zhang San shook his head, "I want to tell you that I have seen the Lin family's treasury, and all of them add up to hundreds of thousands of taels." ”
"So what?" Shi Yu looked at Zhang San, this is because he feels that he is not heartbroken enough, and he still wants to give a specific number?
Zhang San looked at Shi Yu seriously, "So, it's only a few hundred thousand taels, even if you copy the Lin family, the emperor may still be very poor." ”
Shi Yu: "??? ”
Shi Yu: "!! ”
Hundreds of thousands of taels ...... Nothing more?
Is being a killer so profitable?
Is it too late for her to change careers now?
……
After passing through the Lin family and the poverty crit brought by Zhang San one after another, Shi Yu turned his grief into food and eliminated two roast chickens by himself.
When I finished washing up and lay back on the bed, I was still burping, and in the second half of the night, I gradually fell asleep with the silver ticket.
A good night's sleep.
When Shi Yu woke up, it was already dark, and she ordered before she fell asleep last night that her waist would definitely not get better today, and she continued to ask for leave in the morning.
Just when Shi Yu closed his eyes and was about to continue to sleep, there was a knock on Xiao Xiazi's door outside.
"I have back pain, I don't go to the morning morning, I don't eat breakfast, you can retreat." Shi Yu spoke without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, the Governor has sent someone to visit you." Outside the door, Xiao Xiazi's nervous voice was heard.
Shi Yu was stunned, Jing Heng sent someone to visit?
"Who's the pie?"
It won't be the Imperial Doctor, in an instant, the drowsiness in Shi Yu's heart disappeared cleanly.
"Your Majesty, it's a subordinate." Outside the door, the voice of chasing clouds came, "The overseer instructed his subordinates to bring gifts for the emperor's visit." ”
