now.
No matter how stupid Tang Cai'er was, she could see that something was not right.
"Thank you sir for today."
So, Tang Caier bowed deeply to Xu Shu.
He said with gratitude and self-blame: "If it weren't for you, I would have made a wasted trip today."
"It doesn't have to be this way."
Xu Shu shook his head when he heard this.
Anyway, the prince would not punish me. At most he would just give me a mild reprimand.
You don't need to blame yourself for such a small matter.
Of course, Xu Shu would never say this.
"I wonder if Miss Tang has mentioned that matter to His Majesty?" Seeing Tang Cai'er's gratitude, Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.
"This"
Tang Cai'er laughed awkwardly when she heard that.
He shrank his head weakly and didn't dare to look at Xu Shu.
"Hasn't it been mentioned yet?" Xu Shu didn't react much when he saw this.
This was also within his expectations.
After all, this matter does not bring any benefit to the Qingyuan Sword Sect.
Even a large portion of the profits will be taken away.
As long as the empress still has hope of maintaining stability in her country, the Qingyuan Sword Sect may not be willing to see the prince return to the court.
"Forgive me, sir."
Seeing that Xu Shu didn't say anything, Tang Cai'er just thought that he was angry.
My heart suddenly tightened, and I quickly promised: "When I return to the court this time, I will find an opportunity to tell Your Majesty."
"In that case, I'll trouble you, Miss Tang."
Xu Shu smiled when he heard it, but didn't take it to heart.
He then asked without leaving any trace: "By the way, Miss Tang, do you know if there are any intelligence gathering organizations in the Wei Dynasty?"
"This"
Tang Cai'er shook her head in confusion when she heard that.
He apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't know about this either."
Don’t you know?
Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Tang Cai'er: "I didn't lie."
"It seems that the intelligence organization of the Empress is more secretive than imagined. It will probably take a lot of effort to find out."
Xu Shu thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.
First there was Empress Dowager Xiao, and now there’s the Empress. Even the Black Ice Platform can’t find out anything.
The time that Black Ice Platform was born was still too short.
Xu Shu shook his head.
Thinking of the Yunlu Academy he was about to visit, his expression gradually became solemn, and he murmured in a low voice: "I hope I can find the person behind this trip."
"what?"
Tang Cai'er didn't hear clearly, she exclaimed and looked at Xu Shu.
"It's okay." Xu Shu smiled.
He said slowly, "I will ask Heibingtai to pass on the message later, asking Yu Qingzhi to go with you."
"Yu Qingzhi?"
Tang Cai'er was delighted again when she heard that.
If Yu Qingzhi, the Great Kaiyang Hand, were there, that batch of silver would definitely be kept safe.
However, Tang Caier's expression of joy had just appeared for a short while before she became entangled again, as she thought of the instructions His Majesty had given her before she set out.
"If there is a chance, let Hu Weihou escort you."
She understood what His Majesty meant, which was to take advantage of this opportunity.
Contact Marquis Wuwei personally and see if you can bribe him.
"that."
After thinking about it, Tang Caier's cheeks turned slightly red.
Ruo Ruo asked: "Sir, can we ask Hu Weihou to escort the silver?"
"Marquis Hu Wei?"
Xu Shu frowned.
For a moment, I didn't react to who it was: "Who is Hu Wei Hou?"
"Xu Chu." Tang Cai'er replied in a low voice.
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Xu Shu refused without a second thought. It was the prince who personally ordered Xu Chu to go to Xingqing Mansion, and even sent the Xianzhen Camp.
The prince must have his own plans.
On such an important matter, he did not dare to make a rash decision and transfer Xu Chu away from Xingqing Prefecture.
Not long after.
Tang Caier left the Zhenbei Palace and headed towards Yangwu Town again.
"What a hard life I have." Tang Cai'er couldn't help sighing as soon as she left Juman Pass.
Thinking back to the rejected proposal.
He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Your Majesty's plan has no chance."
After saying this, Tang Caier circulated the true energy in her body.
He used his Qinggong skills to leap over a hundred feet and disappeared into the vast sky and earth in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Yangwu Town.
At this time, Yangwu Town had been completely controlled by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and was under strict defense.
Every trail up the mountain.
There are Jinyiwei guarding day and night.
Even the girls in white skirts from the Qingyuan Sword Sect were dragged away by Zhao Wanrou to keep watch.
If it weren't for the lack of manpower.
Zhao Wanrou even wanted to arrange a guard post every three steps and a sentry post every ten steps, so that not even a fly could fly in.
"Uncle Master, this is the amount of silver shipped out this morning."
At the Bai Mansion, Ruan Surong came with an account book and handed it to Zhao Wanrou with a trace of worry on her face.
"Give it to Yan'er."
Zhao Wanrou raised her eyes, waved her hands weakly, and then lay on the table with a painful look on her face.
There was a slight tremor in the soft voice: "I don't like arithmetic."
As he spoke, he took another look at the account books piled on the table.
I just felt dizzy.
Seeing this, Ruan Surong covered her mouth and chuckled.
He handed the account book to Ling Yan'er, who was busy calculating beside him, and said, "Here, Junior Sister."
"Leave it here."
Compared to Zhao Wanrou, Ling Yan'er's condition is much better.
However, a hint of fatigue was visible on his face.
After all, the remnants of the White Lotus Cult have been dormant for so many years, and the amount of silver and natural treasures they have looted is enormous. Not only do they need to classify them one by one, but they also need to record the exact number. At the same time, they have to set aside 20% and send it to the King of Zhenbei.
They don't trust other people.
I was afraid that someone would embezzle money, so I had to come by myself.
"Rong'er, how much silver is left in the basement?"
Zhao Wanrou sat up, supported her chin with her hand, and asked Ruan Surong in a soft voice.
"almost."
Ruan Surong said: "It will probably take another hour for the basement to be emptied."
That’s right, the basement.
After all the remnants of the White Lotus Sect were eliminated, they searched the broken cave for nearly two hours.
Not even a pound of silver was found.
Finally, it was a Jinyiwei who accidentally triggered a mechanism during the search and found the underground vault hidden under most of Yangwu Town.
To this day, Ruan Surong still can't forget it.
The scene when I just walked into the basement.
The white silver piled up like a mountain, almost blinding me.
After hearing this, Zhao Wanrou was obviously relieved.
Ruan Surong asked curiously: "By the way, Uncle Master, how much silver do you have now?"
"Take a look for yourself." Zhao Wanrou handed over an account book.
A trace of shock flashed across those eyes as soft as autumn water: "It is said that the White Lotus Sect's means of making money are extremely terrifying. Now I have seen it."
Ruan Surong took the account book and opened it with surprise.
then
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Five hundred and fifty-three million two hundred thousand taels?" Ruan Surong's pupils shrank slightly and she exclaimed in surprise.
Her pretty face was full of shock.
He murmured in disbelief: "If we add those rare treasures and the silver that we moved out today and haven't had time to record..."
"Adding all of it up, it should be enough to cover the entire year's tax revenue of the Dawu Dynasty." Zhao Wanrou said seriously.
