"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Three thousand soldiers is not a large number, but against two thousand refugees, it is still a huge advantage.

What's more, General Lin had climbed up from the bottom step by step. Although he may not have made great military achievements, he had experienced many wars and had quite some experience.

He felt that dealing with a fledgling woman like Lin Jiuxi would be a piece of cake.

Not only him, but everyone in the court felt the same way.

Before setting out on the expedition, General Lin immediately encountered a problem.

Suppressing bandits is similar to fighting a war. In addition to requiring people, it also requires money.

In the palace.

General Lin was so angry at the old man that he almost died.

General Lin was so heartbroken that he turned his attention to Rong.

"I don't have money, but I have my life. If you don't mind, General Lin, you can take my life anytime. But as for silver, I don't have it."

Because of Nangong Jing and Lin Jiuxi's rebellion, he, as the father-in-law, was bullied in the court both openly and secretly.

The court and the harem are one.

At that time, it was not customary for people to use their wife's dowry, as it would make people look down upon them.

It is obvious that Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and Nangong Jing have a closer relationship. Doesn't that mean they are all going to betray the country? Are they all going to rebel? Pah! This is clearly picking on the weak.

Lin Luwan was good at pretending to be pitiful and was favored by the emperor, which was what they couldn't stand the most.

So he stayed overnight in Rong's room, worked hard, and finally coaxed Rong into agreeing to pay 30,000 gold leaves.

"But, your majesty, does General Lin intend to disobey your orders? Or does he want to join the rebellion?"

This clearly had nothing to do with him, but just because of a tiny bit of kinship, they insisted on implicating his entire clan and causing trouble for him.

At the morning court, in front of the emperor, the Minister of Revenue did not speak a word.

But the Minister of Revenue refused to pay the money.

He knew that if General Lin sent troops and he was left alone in the general's mansion, the Rong family would definitely not let him go easily.

The Minister of Revenue, this old-fashioned man, is not afraid at all.

"How could it be that I disobeyed the order? His Majesty asked you, Lord Lin, to send troops to suppress the bandits. What does it have to do with me? General Lin, don't forget that this female bandit is your own daughter, not the one I taught." The Minister of Revenue stroked his beard, feeling very proud of it.

After the Queen and the concubines exchanged a few polite words, some of them started talking about General Lin leading troops to suppress the bandits.

But if I am unwilling to pay and it really arouses the suspicion of His Majesty, then I will not only lose the money, but I am afraid my life will be in danger.

Lin Luwan's face was pale, and she said softly, "My younger sister is just like the older sisters. How can I know what's going on in the outside world? Sisters, please don't embarrass me."

But the military supply was an extremely terrifying figure. Over the years, General Lin had accumulated a considerable fortune by collecting money from others. But the family's food and drink expenses were not small either. After calculating, he had to sell half of his wealth to raise the money.

After calming down, she asked someone to stew bird's nest soup in the small kitchen and personally delivered it to the emperor.

Several concubines argued with each other and humiliated Lin Luwan severely.

"You agreed that all the money collected from suppressing the bandits will belong to me. You are not allowed to regret it!" Rong's face was full of rosy glow, and she looked radiant. Even without makeup, she looked quite peachy.

This is why General Lin wanted to target the Rong family. This money is like throwing meat buns at a dog, it will never come back.

Rong was in charge of the household expenses in the mansion and she also had a dowry.

The emperor has promised to give three thousand soldiers.

"Sister Lin, didn't they say that General Lin would set out in the next few days? Why is he delaying again? When does he plan to deal with the bandits?" The concubines in the palace called each other sisters, but in fact, they were all competitors.

If General Lin wasn't really worried about being implicated with his entire clan, he would have shouted out loud.

Under normal circumstances, General Lin would not have considered this, but when he thought about selling off so much of his property, he felt heartbroken. Compared to that one or two cents, it was the loss of face that no one else could see.

When General Lin received the letter from the palace and heard that Lin Luwan actually said the same thing, he thought that the emperor had leaked something to her and became more and more worried.

"It's not that I don't want to spend money to suppress the bandits, it's just that the treasury is empty and there is no money. General Lin, are you delaying time? Delaying time for your daughter and son-in-law, helping them to rebel." The Minister of Revenue guessed maliciously.

On the other hand, he wrote a letter to General Lin, urging him to leave quickly and not to arouse the emperor's suspicion because of his concern for Lin Jiuxi, as it would not be worth it.

After all, there is only one emperor, and the person they want to snatch is only this one.

General Lin agreed immediately: "You and I are husband and wife, so why should we talk about yours and mine? The silver I captured will naturally belong to you, Madam."

Even if the bandits were suppressed successfully, no money would be collected.

After leaving the court, General Lin went to collect his salary, but the Minister of Revenue cried poor and refused to give it to him.

It is a common routine for the Minister of Revenue to cry poor. There is no Minister of Revenue who does not cry poor.

General Lin suspected that they had practiced crying.

But the queen just acted like she was there to watch the show and didn't care at all.

"Why not? Isn't General Lin going to kill his daughter? The Lin family is different from us."

After some thought, Yunniang decided to repeat her old plan and stopped General Lin on the way again.

General Lin had no choice but to raise the money himself.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I just wanted to share the burden with Your Majesty, so I asked Sister Lin a few more questions. I thought Sister Lin would know more. Although it is a matter of the court, isn't it also their family's affair?" Those who can get the position of concubine are all shrewd, and they quickly found an excuse for themselves.

Now that they can find an opportunity to ridicule others, they naturally won't let it go, and they are all like formed an alliance.

But it was not because he wanted to delay or set off. There was not enough food and silver, so even if the emperor gave the order, there was no way to set off.

Here, General Lin and Rong were lying in the room, talking sweetly to each other.

All the concubines paid their respects to the Queen in the Queen's Palace, and Lin Luwan was no exception.

"Your Excellency, I am sending troops to suppress the bandits, but this is an order from His Majesty. Do you want to disobey it?" General Lin was very angry.

Knowing that this was an extremely unprofitable business, General Lin had no choice but to continue.

Because of the lack of food, fodder and military pay, His Majesty's promise to send troops soon will be delayed indefinitely.

Yunniang suddenly learned that General Lin would be setting off soon, and her heart sank.

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense!" The Queen glared at the man and said slowly, "How can you talk nonsense about the affairs of the court?"

Rong lay softly in General Lin's arms, "That's better."

"You! How can I send troops if you don't pay?"

Lin Luwan was so angry that she returned to her residence and smashed many things.

Rong Shi had never been out of the house and didn't know that suppressing bandits was not profitable. How much money could a group of bandits have? If they had some foundation, they might be able to save some, but Lin Jiuxi's group of bandits had only been together for a few months and were made up of a group of refugees.

"What do you mean by suppressing bandits? That female bandit is the biological sister of Lin Zhaoyi, Sister Lin. She is General Lin's biological daughter. They are all family. How could they possibly go to suppress them?"

"How can you say that it is embarrassing for you? That female bandit is your elder sister, Sister Lin. Don't you have any concern for her? Where in the world can there be such sisters and fathers and daughters? Sister, don't you think so?"

"General, if you go to war, can you take Yunniang with you? Otherwise, Yunniang will be afraid that you won't be able to see her when you come back..."

Yunniang was specially dressed up when she came. She was wearing a gauze skirt, had a sweet and soft fragrance, and gently put her arms around General Lin's waist.

Any man's hard heart can be softened into a soft one.

General Lin was no exception. If it were usual, he would have agreed without hesitation.

But this time, Lin Luwan is his support in the palace, and she will definitely stand on the side of her mother.
