Liu Qian whispered to Xu Cheng and the others, "I like to be on duty at the Taijin Palace the most. It's too easy to just patrol around the Taijin Palace."

Yang Bo disagreed with his view: "It seems easy, but it is actually the most dangerous."

"What do you mean?"

"We are responsible for the safety of the emperor and the ministers. If anyone hurts the emperor or the ministers, or accidentally displeases the emperor, we will be held accountable."

Liu Qian thought about it and agreed.

Heitan walked up to them, patted his chest and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one will dare to hold you accountable."

Jia Yin, who had a gloomy face the whole time, sneered.

Heitan turned around and glared at him: "You bald ass, what did you mean by that sneer just now? Are you laughing at me for not being able to do it?"

"I have hair, where am I bald?"

Jia Yin deliberately touched his hair.

The hair growth pill was given to him by Mu Nanjin. After swallowing it, he grew a head of black hair in less than half a minute.

"Pooh."

Mu Nanjin said calmly: "Shut up."

Jia Yin and Heitan kept silent.

At seven quarters past the hour of Yin, all the ministers walked out of the court room and headed for the Taijin Palace.

The left and right prime ministers who were walking in the front couldn't help but look at Jia Yin a few more times. The more they looked, the more familiar he seemed to them.

The left prime minister whispered, "The Jinyiwei standing by the door should be Abbot Jiayin, right?"

The right prime minister said, "I think they are similar, too."

The left prime minister was puzzled: "How did he become a Jinyiwei? That's not right, isn't he bald? How did he grow long hair so quickly?"

"He and the Imperial Master are brothers in the same school. Since the Imperial Master can help the Holy Prince's grandson grow teeth quickly, he can definitely help him grow hair quickly as well."

"That's true." The left prime minister nodded: "Well, no matter who he is, it has nothing to do with us. We should do the things the emperor has asked us to do.

At the hour of Mao, the emperor appeared on time.

The ministers knelt down.

"Stand up."

The emperor looked at the left prime minister.

The left prime minister caught his gaze and walked out and said, "Your Majesty, I have received news that the palaces of the Zun Prince, Sheng Prince, Yu Prince, and Huang Prince have been robbed one after another, and now they have to sell their villas to make a living."

All the ministers were very surprised.

The emperor quickly glanced at all the ministers present, and then pretended to be very shocked: "Fourth uncle's house was robbed? How could he encounter such a rampant thief? Have you found out who did it?"

Zuo Xiang said: "I only know that the other party is very scary. They took away all the valuables overnight, even the banknotes under the pillow were taken away. After several days of investigation, we still couldn't find out who did it."

[Hehe, I did it, so of course you can’t find out.]

Ministers: "!!!!"

Mu Nanjin did it? How did she manage to steal all the property in one night? [Not only did I steal everything in the palace, I also took away all the property and food they hid in the camp. If they hadn't been able to sell their farm, they would have had to beg on the street.]

The emperor noticed that several ministers looked unhappy.

If I'm not mistaken, these people should be in collusion with the Fourth Prince.

Now that the Fourth Prince has no money to support his private soldiers, it is impossible for him to rebel again. Even if the Fourth Prince offers them benefits, it will not work. Let's see whether they will still help the Fourth Prince.

The emperor sneered in his heart, but pretended to be angry on the surface and said, "Investigate this matter thoroughly and find out who stole the fourth prince's wealth."

Ministers: "..."

How can we check if the thief is right outside the gate? "Yes." The left prime minister returned to his original position.

The emperor said sadly: "The four uncles are already old, yet they have encountered such a disaster. I have decided to take out 40,000 taels from my private treasury and give them to the four princes to relieve their embarrassment."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." The Right Prime Minister came out and said, "Since the Fourth Prince has already solved his food and clothing problems by selling his villa, the donation of silver can be put on hold for now. I suggest that Your Majesty exchange the 40,000 taels for food and donate it to the disaster victims in the Luocheng area. They can't even get a meal now, and if this continues for a long time, it may lead to unrest."

"Your Majesty, I think the Right Prime Minister is right." The Left Prime Minister stepped out again and stood beside the Right Prime Minister. "The national treasury is now in deficit due to the theft of silver by the Minister of Revenue. We can no longer use large sums of silver to help the victims. Since Your Majesty is willing to donate 40,000 taels of silver, why not donate it to the victims?"

The emperor frowned and asked, "Is it really impossible to embezzle more money to help the victims?"

"The most we can do is to embezzle another 100,000 taels, but that's just a drop in the bucket for the victims."

The emperor looked at all the officials and asked: "Do you have any good ideas to help the victims of the disaster in Los Angeles get through this difficult time?"

The ministers looked at each other.

The Minister of Rites stepped forward and said, "The late emperor once encouraged everyone to donate money and materials. I think the emperor can follow the late emperor's example."

The Right Prime Minister then said: "If we can find the money that the Minister of Revenue embezzled, it will also help us out of this urgent situation."

The ministers nodded.

The left prime minister frowned and said, "But no one knows where the Minister of Revenue hid the silver."

Ministers: "..."

Who said no one knows? Isn’t there a know-it-all standing outside?

Mu Nanjin must know where the silver is hidden.

Strange, why didn't she say anything?

Civil and military officials all glanced outside secretly.

Little did he know that Mu Nanjin was called away by Captain Liang when the Left Prime Minister mentioned that "the national treasury was suffering losses due to the theft of silver by the Minister of Revenue".

Now they were almost at the palace gate.

Mu Nanjin asked: "Where are we going?"

Liang Baihu said: "We need to find the silver that the Minister of Revenue stole. If we can find it, the victims of the disaster in Luocheng will suffer less."

[The lake in the house of the Minister of Revenue leads to the river in the city. His silver is hidden in the river. No wonder the Jinyiwei couldn't find the silver.]

[How can I tell Captain Liang about this? Should I go and salvage it myself and then hand it over?]

Captain Liang suddenly stopped and said, "I suddenly remembered that Captain Liu said he wanted to see you about something. Go back to the commander and ask him what it is."

“…”

Mu Nanjin returned to the Governor's Mansion and saw the Phantom Thief Manju standing at the gate.

The Phantom Thief Manshou stepped forward and asked, "Girl, why did you come back so soon?"

Mu Nanjin: "You arrived early."

The Phantom Thief Wanshou said embarrassedly: "I got up to practice Qinggong, and flew here unknowingly, and waited for you to come back here."

"Wait till I tie up the horse and then I'll take you in."

As he finished speaking, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard in the distance.

Mu Nanjin looked back and saw a eunuch hurriedly dismounted from his horse and ran into the commander's mansion.

After she tied up the horse, she took the Phantom Thief Wanshou to find Captain Liu.

The Qianhu Wenshu Academy was empty. Qianhu Liu and other Qianhu went to Kan Chaoyan's writing room.

About a quarter of an hour later, Captain Liu and the other captains returned to the Academy of Literature.

Captain Liu saw Mu Nanjin with someone and asked, "Isn't he the person you want to recruit again?"

Mu Nanjin nodded: "Yes, his name is Sang Tai."

"Sangtai?"

Liu Qianhu felt that the name was very familiar. He looked at the Phantom Thief Manju and thought seriously: "Are you the Phantom Thief Manju?"

The Phantom Thief Wan Shou asked in surprise: "Does the lord know me?"

"Haha." Captain Liu smiled wryly, "You are on our wanted list. Do you know who you are?"

Mu Nanjin said: "He is mine now, you can't catch him."

Captain Liu said unhappily, "You recruited a lot of weird people, two bandits, a monk, and... Never mind, no more words, just sign."

He took out the book contract and gave it to the Phantom Thief Manjushou.

The Phantom Thief Wan Shou was surprised and asked, "You already know my identity, and you are still willing to recruit me?"

One of Mu Nanjin's requirements was that he join the Royal Guard for a period of three years. If he doesn't want to do it anymore, he can leave at any time.

"As long as you don't admit that you are the Phantom Thief Manjusri, nothing else matters."

Sang Tai: “…”

Are Jinyiwei recruiting people so casually?

Little did they know that they were only casual with Mu Nanjin, as for the others...

Haha, don’t even think about joining the Imperial Guard unless you know every detail of your ancestors.

Sang Tai signed.

Captain Liu put away the book and said, "Mu Nanjin, when your people come back from the palace, take them to the governor's office."

"oh."

Captain Liu thought for a moment and continued, "There was a drought in the Luocheng area, and many farmers had no harvest. The merchants in Luocheng took advantage of this to raise the price of grain, causing many victims to have no food to eat. Many old people and children starved to death on the streets. Unfortunately, the Minister of Revenue stole the silver from the national treasury, and the court could not provide more silver for disaster relief. Therefore, the emperor decided to let everyone donate silver to buy grain. Just now, the eunuch in the palace conveyed the emperor's order, ordering every official to donate silver as an example, and it is up to you to donate more or less. You are my subordinate, I need to notify you in advance, and you can notify your subordinates."

Mu Nanjin said: "I will donate 10,000 dan of grain."

"Ten thousand dan?" Captain Liu's eyes widened. "You have so much grain?"

The grain reserves of their state were only over 10,000 shi, but she donated 10,000 shi in one go.

Mu Nanjin nodded: "Yes."

[Of course I have so much food, because all of it was stolen from the Fourth Prince, hehe.]

Captain Liu: “…”

"Plus a donation of three million taels."

[I am different because I have money. I am generous when I spend money. 】

[Hee, it feels good to spend a lot of money. Even the emperor didn’t donate as much as I did. ]

Captain Liu really wanted to ask her how much silver she had stolen.

Seeing his speechless expression, Mu Nanjin asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Captain Liu lied to her, "I'm shocked by your generosity. Are you sure you can afford so much money?"

"Of course, but I have one condition, that is, my food and silver can only be delivered by the national teacher."

Captain Liu was puzzled: "Why choose the national teacher?"

"The Imperial Master is not corrupt and will pray for rain for the people in the Luocheng area. He is the most suitable person to go."

Captain Liu nodded and said, "I can't make the decision. I need to report to Lord Kan and ask the emperor's opinion. You take Sang Tai to get the Feiyu suit first, and then go to the Dudu Wenwen Academy to find the Dudu when Liu Qian and the others come back."

"Um."

After Mu Nanjin left, Captain Liu quickly ran to Kan Chaoyan's office and whispered to him, "Your Majesty, this is brilliant. He has killed three birds with one stone today."

The theft of the Fourth Prince was exposed in the court, which shook the trust of the ministers who colluded with the Fourth Prince in the Fourth Prince. Then, Mu Nanjin was used to find out where the Minister of Revenue hid the silver. Finally, Mu Nanjin was used to donate silver to voluntarily hand over several million taels of silver. Isn't this killing three birds with one stone? Kan Chaoyan asked curiously, "How much silver did Mu girl donate?"

Captain Liu held up three fingers and said, "Three million taels and ten thousand dan of grain."

"so much?"

Kan Chaoyan was also very surprised: "The emperor must have staged a donation drama because he saw that Mu Yatou was generous and kind-hearted."

"But she has one condition, which is that the Imperial Master should be responsible for transporting this batch of grain and silver. She said that the Imperial Master would not be corrupt and could also pray for rain for the people of Luo City."

"I will go to the palace and talk to the emperor about this matter."

Not long after Kan Chaoyan entered the palace, the emperor left the court.

Xu Cheng and his friends returned to the Duwei Mansion to find Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin brought them to the Governor's Academy.

A group of centurions and generals stood in the yard. They were the Jinyiwei who had gone on the mission with Mu Nanjin to capture Fang Dashi.

When the generals saw Mu Nanjin coming, fear flashed in their eyes and they subconsciously took a step back.

They had been lying in bed for several days since the last beating and their bodies were still aching.

They finally understood why the centurions accommodated her, because in the face of strength, you dare not not accommodate her.

The five hundred households greeted Mu Nanjin one after another: "Miss Mu is here."

Mu Nanjin bowed and said, "Greetings, everyone."

The general flags also nodded in greeting.

Heitan walked up to Jiayin and whispered, "These general flags are all bald, they are not monks from your temple, are they?"

Jia Yin glanced at him and said, "The mule looks quite similar to a horse. Is it your companion?"

Heitan said angrily: "They are all bastards, they are not worthy of being my companions."

Jia Yin sneered.

Mu Nanjin and his men stood behind the centurions.

[It depends on the situation. It’s time to give out rewards for the last mission. 】

[I don’t know how much money I can get. Although I am very rich now, no one would complain about having too much money.]

[By the way, I haven't seen the governor for a while. I wonder if the governor still remembers me? ]

Just as Mu Nanjin was daydreaming, the governor-general came out.

"Is everyone here?"

Su Wubaihu said, "They are all here."

The governor announced, "Okay, I'll announce the rewards for the last mission. All five hundred households will be commended once, plus fifty taels of silver. The generals will have their merits offset their demerits, so there will be no reward. Do you have any objections?"

In fact, the rewards for these small tasks are usually not announced publicly, so all of this is for someone.

"No."

The generals knew they had made mistakes and did not dare to express any opinions.

The governor-general said, "Mu Xiaoqi was promoted to the general flag, and all his subordinates were promoted from ninth-rank Jinyiwei to regular ninth-rank Jinyiwei."

Mu Nanjin frowned suddenly.

[That's not right. How come I got promoted when I didn't contribute? How long has it been since I got promoted? Is it so easy to get promoted? And what about the money? No reward money? ]

The governor asked, "Do you have any objections?"

"I……"

As soon as Mu Nanjin said one word, the others said in unison: "No objection."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[I have an opinion. I don’t want to be promoted.]

Mu Nanjin walked out and said, "I have an opinion."

The governor nodded and said, "If you have any opinions, please tell the governor. The governor is in the room, you can go in and find him."

[I can actually meet the governor, that's great. 】

Governor: “…”

Ask for votes
