Chapter 730: Come rob with me tonight?
Sang Zhixia was not interested in what Xu Yu said about the excitement of watching the tragic death of the leader of the association. When she heard Xu Yu talk about another exciting incident, the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Sang Zhixia lowered her voice and took a deep breath, "Are you going to rob the Yan family's inner treasury?"
"No, you're a general after all. How come after arriving in Nanyun, you spend all day pretending to be a pirate or doing the work of a pirate?"
How long has it been? How could a good person become a bandit?
Meeting Sang Zhixia's genuinely confused gaze, Xu Yu said with a wooden face, "I was just following orders."
"In the secret letter that the young prince sent me not long ago, which was sent over 800 miles, he emphasized the internal vaults of the Nanxun Chamber of Commerce."
It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Yubai has long regarded these treasures as his own.
It is acceptable for Xu Yu to openly embezzle money.
But no one else can get involved.
All of this belongs to the young prince of Lingnan.
Sang Zhixia let out a cry of "Ah" without being able to respond.
Xu Yu said numbly, "Madam, you don't know that marching and fighting are extremely expensive, and the young prince is not well-off."
"If someone accidentally steals a copper coin, I'm afraid the young prince will beat his chest and stamp his feet and cry out in bad luck."
So after learning that Xu Ou had secretly arrived in Nanyun, Jiang Yubai repeatedly emphasized that Xu Ou should keep a close eye on them and not allow these families to secretly transfer their property away.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be all in vain if all the hard work doesn’t bring any benefits?
Xu Yu sighed, "Gui Sheng is a sensible old man. I'll let him go for now, but all the property of the Wei and Yan families must be confiscated. Anything that can be converted into silver must be sent to the young prince as soon as possible."
"The young prince is anxious to get the military pay."
Sang Zhixia: "..."
Qian An acted swiftly and gave the Wei family no chance to react.
The gold and silver found from the Wei family's various properties, as well as all kinds of priceless ornaments and toys, only passed through Qian An's hands once, and this time he really didn't dare to embezzle them.
In just one day and one night, the people Xu Yu had planted in the Water Transport Bureau worked quickly and had packed an astonishing amount of gold and silver into the cargo ship.
The remaining ships and large boxes of gold and silver were also ready, waiting to be searched in the Yan family's inner treasury.
It can be said that everything is ready, and we are just waiting for Yan Jun to return to the West and the Yan family will be defeated.
Sang Zhixia hadn't expected these people to have their eyes on the inner treasury from this early on. She said, feeling both amused and annoyed, "What if your plan to defeat them one by one didn't go as planned, and the Wei and Yan families are still standing?"
Xu Yu sneered, and said with unspeakable disdain: "Then rob it openly."
"Zhizhi, I disdain to exploit the people's wealth and harm them, but these people were not within my consideration from the beginning."
"These people have become ruthless and brutal in their habits, just like a dog that can't stop eating shit."
"Instead of hoping they can change their ways and become good people after a change of regime, it's better to hope they'll be good people in their next life."
The Nanxun Chamber of Commerce claims to be a local tyrant that deals in business, but it is not uncommon for them to commit robbery and seizure of human lives.
Even servants from any family can eat and drink as much as they want without paying, using the master's name as an excuse.
Xu Yu didn't mind fighting violence with violence against these filthy people from the same nest.
What happened to the robbery?
It was something that came from an illegal source, so just rob it.
If you don't agree, let the dead person lift the coffin lid.
After Xu Yu finished speaking, he poked Sang Zhixia's arm mysteriously and whispered, "I heard that the Yan family's inner treasury is built on a hilltop, with many mechanisms and strict defenses. The wealth inside is comparable to the national treasury."
"Would you like to go and see it together?"
Sang Zhixia held back her laughter and said nothing.
Xu Yu poked her again: "Zhizhi, go ahead."
"Just think of it as a chance to broaden your horizons. If you see something you like, we can take it home. Take whatever you want. If you..."
"Stop talking now."
Sang Zhixia couldn't stand it any longer and covered Xu Yu's mouth. She glared at him and said through gritted teeth, "Our family doesn't lack that kind of stuff. Stop thinking about how to embezzle it."
"If anyone knew about this and mentioned it in front of the prince and the young prince, you would be blamed for a grave offense. Have you become stupid from fighting? You don't even realize the slightest bit of harm?"
"If you're charged with corruption for such a small amount of money, you'll never be able to clear your name in the future when you enter officialdom. Stop giving people gossip."
The reason why Xu Yu has reached his current status and has the dignity of a General of Cavalry is that he has survived death time and again.
Can we treat the future that we have fought for with our lives as a joke?
Catching the seriousness in Sang Zhixia's eyes, Xu Yu couldn't help but laugh softly.
His branches are indeed a bit too cautious.
In fact, Jiang Yubai mentioned it several times in the letter he wrote to him, asking Xu Yu to pick the one he liked first and keep it to himself without reporting to him again!
Xu Yu grabbed Sang Zhixia's hand, which was covering his own, and said nonchalantly, "Zhizhi, how long do you think I can stay in the court from now on?"
Sang Zhixia suddenly asked, "At what age did grandpa retire?"
"The age of knowing one's destiny."
Xu Yu patiently explained, "My father had been in the court for a long time, and the Xu family was powerful. In order not to attract too much attention, my grandfather retired early to make way for my father."
Sang Zhixia: "That's fifty years old. I think you should be about the same age as your grandfather?"
When the Lingnan royal family really took control of Kyoto, Xu Yu would have been a true follower of the dragon.
As long as Xu Yu doesn't do something crazy and commit suicide, his future path is almost certain.
Sang Zhixia asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of this? Do you want to serve the young prince until he's sixty or seventy?"
"No, never."
Xu Yu gently hooked his fingertips on Sang Zhixia's palm and said with a smile, "I just feel that Madam thinks too highly of me."
It’s good to know your destiny.
Even sixty years old.
That was too long and too far away.
Xu Yu let out a sigh with a smile and thought to himself, I don’t want to wait that long.
The rest of my life is long, and nothing could be more comfortable than going home with my wife to farm.
Sang Zhixia was completely confused by Xu Yu's half-sentence. Before she could react, she heard the stubborn Xu Yu babble, "Will you accompany me to rob tonight?"
"Since we're here, even if we don't want to pocket the money, it's okay to take a look..."
Xu Yu was so enthusiastic about making a fortune by robbing that he did not give Sang Zhixia any chance to refuse.
At three in the morning, Xu Yu looked expressionlessly at the two brats waiting to attack, gnashing his teeth silently: "Why are you here?"
Xu Mingyang immediately betrayed Chen Jingan: "Brother Chen said he would show us the world tonight!"
Sang Yanyou nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, that's what Brother Chen said!"
Chen Jingan: “…”
"Boy, I usually treat you well, you..."
"Stop."
Xu Yu rolled his eyes at Chen Jing'an in disdain, then looked at Tian Ying'er, who was hugging Sang Zhixia's arm with shining eyes, and closed his eyes as if in compromise: "Yeah, now that I'm here..."
"Hold your chin firmly and go."
