"Your family has no money?" Shi Yu asked, looking at him.
The Minister of Revenue nodded reluctantly, "Yes, my family is poor."
As he spoke, the Minister of Revenue tugged at his clothes.
"These clothes of mine were all made last year."
"I am really poor."
Shi Yu looked at him with her dark, beautiful eyes.
"If I find any money in your house, it all belongs to me."
To cover up the lie, the Minister of Revenue forced himself to nod.
"……good."
"Then go ahead and look for it."
"If you really find them, I'll give them all to you."
The Minister of Revenue still didn't believe that Shi Yu could find the gold he had hidden this time.
This time, he hid in an even more secretive place, unknown to anyone but himself.
"Hahaha..." Shi Yu burst out laughing when she heard this.
That's exactly what she was waiting for the Minister of Revenue to say.
Shi Yu excitedly called out to the melon in his mind, "Melon 66!"
[Gua66, you've started working.]
Let's go find gold.
[Search carefully and see where the Minister of Revenue has hidden the gold this time.]
Gua66's voice was excited and joyful.
"That's easy. I'm an expert at finding gold."
[Yu Yu, the Minister of Revenue is going to have to spend a fortune this time.]
Shi Yu asked, "Where is the Minister of Revenue hiding the gold this time?"
Gua66: [Oh, I found it.]
The Minister of Revenue has indeed learned his lesson this time.
He bought all the gold this time and buried it in the latrine.
To avoid being discovered, a layer of dried excrement was piled on top.
No one but him was allowed to use that outhouse.
[Pfft! Hahahaha...] Shi Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The Minister of Revenue, who was standing nearby, was terrified.
Seriously? He had already hidden the gold in a pile of shit, and Shi Yu was still disgusted enough to dig it out.
He wanted to see how Shi Yu, a little baby, would manage to dig gold out of a latrine full of excrement.
hehe……
As the Minister of Revenue thought this, a wicked idea arose in his mind.
He spoke again, saying, "However, I have one more condition to add."
"If you find it yourself."
"We can't ask anyone else for help in the process,"
"You'll have to move them out piece by piece yourself."
The Minister of Revenue's dislike for Shi Yu was nothing new.
He even thought maliciously in his heart:
If only Shi Yu could fall into the latrine and drown.
Thinking this, the Minister of Revenue called over a servant and whispered instructions to him.
"Go and fill my latrine with water."
The servants received the order and left immediately.
When Shi Yu arrived at the Minister of Revenue's outhouse, the dry pile had turned into a sloppy pot.
If Shi Yu, who is that tall, were to personally go down into the cesspool to retrieve gold, he probably wouldn't even be as tall as the cesspool.
Once you fall in, you'll never be able to get out.
The Minister of Revenue watched from the side and nodded with great satisfaction.
Even if Princess Shengping goes down, it will be difficult for her to come back up without anyone's help.
Besides, gold is so heavy, how much of it could a little baby like her hold?
One act of greed could easily lead to one's own suffocation in the latrine.
The Minister of Revenue was surprisingly excited at the thought that he could rid the people of this scourge.
"Little princess, you can't ask for help." The Minister of Revenue's voice rang in Shi Yu's ear in a sly tone.
"And you only have fifteen minutes."
"A quarter of an hour~" Shi Yu's dark eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Then you really underestimate my abilities." Shi Yu rolled her eyes at him.
If she wanted gold, she could just reach out and have it; there was no need for her to suffer the hardship of shoveling water from the latrine.
That's just plain stupid.
It seems today is destined to be a day of tears for the Minister of Revenue.
However, Shi Yu still asked beforehand to avoid these adults reneging on their debts.
"Within fifteen minutes, whatever I get is mine!"
"Ah, of course." The Minister of Revenue nodded.
That's just how classy he is; that's just how sophisticated and dignified he is.
No one should come and argue with him.
"Hehe. Then you'd better open your eyes wide and watch carefully,"
Shi Yu smiled slyly.
The Minister of Revenue is still too green to try and outsmart her.
Suddenly, Shi Yu raised her small hand and drew black and gold runes in the air.
Although the Abyss Great Demon Dragon is not good at runes, she can learn such a simple skill as retrieving objects from a distance or digging gold out of a cesspool just by thinking about it.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, the pool of excrement began to bubble and fizz.
Then, one by one, they flew out of the latrine and landed neatly on the ground, lining up in rows.
There are twenty chests in total, and each chest contains 100,000 taels of gold.
All of this adds up to two million taels of gold!
It seems that digging into the wall of the Minister of Revenue's latrine last time was a bit too conservative.
"Hahaha..." Shi Yu almost burst out laughing when she saw this.
"Two million taels of gold, all from Yu Yu, hahahaha..."
When the Minister of Revenue saw this, he was so angry he almost cried.
How could this be? How could this be?
How could Shi Yu have dug up all of his gold?
This is the culmination of his family's generations of savings.
If all this gold falls into Shi Yu's hands, how can he face his ancestors?
Thinking this, the Minister of Revenue, disregarding the manure still clinging to the box, pounced on it and shouted loudly.
