General Xu was very busy. He didn't know until he counted that he had embezzled so much money.
And he seemed to be taken for a fool.
The fact that he could embezzle such a huge sum of money was certainly not something he could do alone, and his right-hand men’s help was indispensable.
And his good brother, General Ling.
General Xu counted the accounts with his pen, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. So he was the one who had to bear the blame for corruption over the years, but it was the Ling family that took the lion's share.
He is the idiot who was pushed out as a target!
After all these years of squandering, even if General Xu was asked to give back only the portion of the money he had embezzled, he would not be able to do so.
But he will do what he promised his daughter.
"Knock knock, Dad, it's me."
When General Xu heard his daughter's voice, he hurried to open the door.
Xu Jin saw that her father was frowning, and probably guessed what the problem was.
"Dad, is there not enough silver? How much more do you need?"
"No need, my little girl. You don't have to worry about these things. Dad can handle them." General Xu didn't want his daughter to be bothered by these troublesome things.
"Dad, I've saved quite a bit of money over the years. How much do you still need? Let's fill that hole first."
General Xu shook his head: "Not enough, far from enough."
"Ten years and the military pay for two hundred thousand soldiers is no small sum. Even if Dad pawned all the valuables in the house, it wouldn't be enough."
Xu Jinyi didn't waste any words: "How much more is missing?"
"Two million taels of silver."
That is two hundred thousand taels of gold. Xu Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief. Two hundred thousand taels of gold was quite easy for her.
"Dad, I'll give you the money tomorrow. Can I have a banknote?"
General Xu's eyes widened. "Yier, this is two million taels of silver. Where did you get so much money?"
"Anyway, the money came from a legitimate source, so don't worry about it, Dad."
General Xu swallowed and asked, "Do you really have that much money?"
"I'll give you the money tomorrow at noon."
After saying that, Xu Jinyi went back to her room.
In the palace, the tyrant listened to the secret guard's reply, with the corners of his mouth raised in contempt.
"It's too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost!"
The tyrant's voice was deep and rich, very pleasant to the ear, but his words carried a murderous tone.
"Your Majesty, it's impossible for the Xu family to come up with all the money, but General Xu promised the soldiers this evening that he would distribute all the money by noon tomorrow."
"Do we need to check the source of this money?"
The tyrant played with a few marbles in his hand and said with a smile: "No need, the ending is already determined, isn't it?"
The secret guards were indifferent, and in their hearts they mourned for General Xu who had come to his senses.
What good will happen to those who are targeted by a tyrant?
If Xu Jinyi were there, she would definitely be able to recognize that those marbles were made by her.
late at night.
Xu Jinyi was alone in the room sorting out the gold in her space. There were not many gold ingots, so she only sorted out 100,000 taels of gold.
In fact, it was more than that, but when she left the vacation world before, she felt guilty, so she left one million taels of gold to Li Junci.
Thinking that it would be easier for him when he seeks revenge or competes for that position in the future.
I hope those gold ingots can help him.
On the day she left, she disappeared for a whole day in order to find a safe place to hide the one million taels of gold.
The little box will tell him how to find the gold.
So now she can only think about those jewelry.
She plans to go to the largest pawnshop in the capital tomorrow.
The accessories in her space are all top-notch products, and each one should be able to sell for a good price.
The next day.
As soon as Xu Jinyi left the house, he took the disguise pill produced by the system and entered a room in the pawnshop carrying a bag of jewelry.
When she came out, there was a thick stack of banknotes in her arms.
The shopkeeper behind her had a curious look on his face.
"Boss, isn't the price you gave for the jewelry too high? It's not worth fifty thousand taels of gold at all?" The apprentice looked at the exquisite hairpin on the table with a painful look on his face.
The shopkeeper slapped the apprentice on the head and said, "I told you to study hard, but you've learned nothing from it, haven't you?"
The shopkeeper casually picked up a golden phoenix hairpin and said in admiring tone: "Do you know the workmanship of this hairpin? I guarantee that no one in my country can make it.
"Look at the phoenix silk thread again. It's not an exaggeration to say that the gold thread is lifelike. And the quality of this gold is even better than the gold used for official seals."
The apprentice looked unconvinced: "Boss, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"If the value is really that good, how could it be a burden as soon as it's sold?"
"Aren't genuine items like this rare?"
The shopkeeper choked!
He raised his hand and knocked the apprentice on the head again: "Today I will let you see how much these things are worth. Will I lose money if I sit here and decide?"
After saying that, the shopkeeper put away the things, then took a relatively ordinary golden hairpin and went to the Treasure Pavilion.
That was also the area under his jurisdiction. Half of the shops in the capital were owned by him.
It was not until the nobleman bought the hairpin at a price five times the recycling price that the apprentice believed that the shopkeeper had not made a mistake.
Using the same method, Xu Jinyi went to another pawnshop and pawned 50,000 taels of gold.
Even collecting 200,000 taels of gold was not enough, as the mansion's expenses were also quite a lot of money every month.
With her father's salary, it is difficult to maintain her previous life.
So Xu Jinyi went to the pawnshop and pawned a total of 150,000 taels of gold.
General Xu was still shocked when he saw the box of banknotes.
"Dad, don't ask. Go distribute the money first."
"Okay, okay."
Although the money was compensated, the crisis in the general's mansion was not over yet.
So what Xu Jinyi has to do now is how to approach the tyrant, let him spare the general's mansion, and give them a chance to atone for their crimes.
And Xu Jinyi thought of that opportunity when Gu Shaoyu came to him with a guilty and affectionate look on his face.
"Yier, don't worry, Brother Shaoyu only loves you the most, but this is something only you can do. Can you help Brother Shaoyu?"
Staring at the innocent Xu Jinyi, Gu Shaoyu's eyes flashed with a hint of guilt and strong calculation.
Xu Jinyi is indeed stunning now, which makes him a little moved, but he has never been a person who covets beauty.
Moreover, Yun'er was right. Since the General's Mansion could not be of any help to him in the short term, he should try another method.
With Xu Jinyi's current beauty, the tyrant might not look down on her, so they decided to let Xu Jinyi seduce the tyrant.
Be their spy so they know the tyrant's next move.
Xu Jinyi couldn't believe it, looking at Gu Shaoyu with tears in her eyes: "You want me to be the emperor's concubine? How can this be possible? The person Yi'er likes is you, Brother Shaoyu? How can you commit yourself to someone else?"
The beauty shed tears, and her adorable look made Gu Shaoyu's heart skip a beat.
