MTL - I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times-Chapter 990 A clear preference
"Your Majesty, the transactions of the secret door in the past few years are all here. Please ask Your Majesty to decide the list of transactions. As for the accounts, I have sent people to the hiding place to collect the stolen goods. After counting, they will be entered directly into the treasury."
Hearing Ma Fuyin's report, Emperor Cheng Xuan nodded and was in a good mood.
“My dear, this matter was handled safely. I am very pleased that the security of Kyoto is in your hands.”
"It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the Holy One, and I dare not take credit for it."
As Ma Fuyin spoke, he glanced at Bai Hanlin, who was upright, from the corner of his eye. His thoughts changed a little, and he spoke seriously,
"This case is progressing smoothly, thanks to Bai Hanlin's help. Without his guidance, I may have to delay it for a few days."
How should he, a chamberlain, answer the topic that ministers are richer than officials?

I didn’t expect that the business of avenging others and helping others kill people and buy goods could actually make so much money. He was richer than the emperor himself, and he didn’t even have so much cash in his personal treasury.
Xiao Wu was not polite. He picked up the book and read it quickly, then put it on the desk. "As expected of a well-established clan with a hundred years of history, it is really rich."
Look, this is the favorite, it’s a shame he has to mention it.
"The border guards have had a bit of a hard time in the past few years, especially in cold places like the northwest and northeast. They are still owed one year of military expenses. The imperial treasury is empty and can only barely provide rations. I have always wanted to supplement their military pay. But the Ministry of Household Affairs can’t come up with any money, so what can I do to help you?”
"As expected, my mother knew things well. The officials were in arrears with the pay for the border guards, and I felt very uneasy. If someone had generously donated money to share the worries of the officials, and done their best for the court, they would be safe and sound."
A few years ago, when the court encountered disasters, everyone and the late emperor lamented their poverty, so they had to wear patched clothes to go to court.
Emperor Cheng Xuan threw the booklet on the table and said to Xiao Wu Nunu, "Ai Qing, take a look."
“Okay, stop complimenting each other. We all have merit and should be rewarded.”
How much money do you make?
“In addition, there is also a list of people who have done business with the secret door in the past three years, including many court officials and local gentry.”
Unlike him, his legs became weak after staying for a while.
Hearing this, Baiyunxi was stunned. Was he named?
"The Holy One cares about the country and the people, which is admirable. Although I came from a poor family, I am still willing to do my little bit. As the saying goes, when the country is in trouble, everyone has a responsibility. Naturally, those aristocratic families with hundreds of years of hairpins will not stand idly by. I am willing to be a **** on the horse. Serve as an example.”
How miserable!
If you destroy an organization in one pot, you will definitely gain a lot of good things.
Hearing Xiao Wu’s tone, Bai Yunxi’s mouth twitched.
“Having said that, you still have to pay attention to strategy. You must know that these hairpin families have worked hard for generations to get to where they are today, and their methods cannot be underestimated. I’m afraid it will not be easy to get them to pay.”
Baiyunxi: “…”
Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at the two books in front of him, picked up the list, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
These people are really well-off. They start with just ten thousand taels, which is so generous.
“I feel my love for you, your loyalty to your king, and my patriotism. Let’s go.”
Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at the account book and felt really comfortable. This small secret door organization has made as much as one million taels in just three years, which is a huge profit.
Sure enough, when Wang Deren mentioned Bai Hanlin, Emperor Cheng Xuan felt much better immediately, "Bai Hanlin is indeed good and considerate in his work."
You are Bole, please spare us little shrimps, please?
The slaves couldn't bear such a surprise.
After Ma Fuyin reported it, he saw that nothing happened to him, so he immediately left with a wink.
“After this incident, the capital will be quieter for a while, and my mother will feel more at ease when she goes out.”
One hundred and seventy-eight. Seventy-five. Two hundred and fifty-five. Two hundred and one
Everyone is the richest in the world, only the treasury's purse is flat and the money is jingling.
Bai Xiaowu bowed with a righteous face.
Poke him in the heart, right?
With the book in hand, he had to think carefully about how to get some money from their mouths to fill his private treasury. A few years ago, in order to provide disaster relief, the imperial court still owed the border guards a year's military expenses and has not renewed it.
Emperor Cheng Xuan: “…”
Xiao Wu said with a low chuckle, "Although our family comes from a poor background, we can barely afford a hundred and eighty taels. The main goal is to unite as one and work together."
“Could it be that the officials have entrusted this matter to you?”
Fortunately, Bai Hanlin usually accompanies the Holy Spirit to talk and solve problems, which saves them a lot of worry as they serve closely.
"Mr. Wang, why do you think they all have to go against me?" Hearing the official's inquiry, Wang Deren was frightened and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. With Bai Hanlin coming, there should be no problem with the supply of the border army."
“It’s true that I was shocked, but it’s not hard work. It’s all Master Ma who acted resolutely and found the hiding place in time to catch them all, which not only stabilized the security of Kyoto, but also increased the treasury of the Holy Emperor.”
Listening to the official's inquiry, Xiao Wu twirled his little thumb, wondering if there was anything he still didn't understand.
“The handle is in the hands of the officials, and it is human nature to waste money and eliminate disasters.”
Looking back, he needs to have a good relationship with Bai Hanlin, which can save lives at critical moments.
Hearing the news Xiao Wu brought back, Bai Yunxi's eyes lit up, "Is there an unexpected gain?"
"My mother's guess is good. There are more than one million taels of cash stored in the secret door. This is the income in the past three years. As for how much there was in the past, it is impossible to calculate."
Bai Yunxi looked at him blankly and twitched the corner of his mouth, "That's a lot of money. You think it's cabbage and radish on the street."
“Your Majesty’s vision is as far as the eye can see, and he can tell at a glance that Bai Hanlin is the thousand-mile horse.”
"Of course I know this, so I have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. I don't have to follow behind to ask for it, but I have to let them take the initiative to deliver it."
After leaving the Wende Hall gate, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead. He looked back at Bai Hanlin and had to admire him. He was worthy of being the famous person next to the Holy Emperor. He was confident and casual.
If this was placed on the official desk, would you still want to live?
“Well, Bai Aiqing has been frightened again and again, it’s really hard work.” Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at Xiao Wu standing there with a low eyebrow, curled the corners of his mouth, and softly comforted him.
Emperor Cheng Xuan waved his hands with satisfaction and watched Xiao Wu leave. He picked up the book and read it again, his face darkening.
Look, with just a few words from an official and a little carelessness, the head on your neck can be lost.
Xiao Wu didn't know what to do, his eyes were deep and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, which made people scared just by looking at him.
A few days later, rumors suddenly appeared on the street that everyone applauded, saying that Jingzhao Mansion had raided the secret door's den in one go, and not only seized a large amount of stolen money but also a list of transactions with the secret door over the years.
Everyone who has dealt with the secret door is on the book.
