Even Yun Yaoyao was shocked by this group of drama queens.
A group of actors, they must be the ones to win the Oscar!
Tu Shanjin on the side watched all this with cold eyes, took a sip of wine, and spoke in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
"You want to talk about feelings with them, but they only try to show off your acting skills. It's not too late to find another way now."
Yun Yaoyao whispered back to him: "It doesn't matter, I will continue to act with them."
Yun Yaoyao's eyes fell on Yun Liang, who was trying hard to reduce his presence.
"Shang Shu Yun, what do you think?"
Yun Liang pursed his lips, and finally said: "Let me tell you, your majesty, the Yun family doesn't have much money and food saved. If your majesty is determined to build water conservancy, I will use all the efforts of the Yun family to reduce food and clothing and donate a hundred taels of silver!" "
Yun Yaoyao rolled her eyes secretly, the old fox was still thinking of joining King Ze.
By using the figure of one hundred taels, I did not want to offend the emperor, but also let King Ze see that he had only donated so much and was not a true royalist.
Later, when Di Shunzhi was called, Ling Yunyaoyao didn't expect that he donated two hundred taels without much hesitation.
As for the few royalists, in fact, they did not support the construction of water conservancy projects now. Due to their stance, they still donated a small amount.
As for the vast majority of officials, they get nothing!
In this way, Yun Yaoyao tried her best to use both kindness and power, but she could only get out a handful of money and food from the hands of the officials.
For a huge project like water conservancy, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
Seeing that His Majesty couldn't stand them but couldn't kill them, the officials felt so proud that they even drank two more glasses of wine on the table.
Even when I'm drunk, I don't forget to cry about my poverty.
It is said that "when a man is drunk, he will act until you cry". After crying so hard, even they themselves almost believed that their family was really a mess.
Yun Yaoyao also drank several glasses of wine in a row, her whole body exuding anger and cold air, which made the maids serving around her shiver.
She held her forehead with her palms, seemingly covering her angry expression, but actually covering the corners of her mouth that were about to fly into the sky.
Calculating the time, they should complete the task...
hey-hey.
Time moves forward.
The Long Shadow Guards lurking throughout the capital received secret orders from the palace.
The moment they opened the secret order, their expressions were full of seriousness and excitement. His Majesty finally issued another secret order!
What kind of bloody storm will be unleashed in the capital!
But after watching it, their expressions were indescribable.
After a lot of preparation, it was finally time for Long Shadow Guard to execute the secret order tonight.
They put on night clothes, loaded up big boxes, and moved aggressively... Oh no, they sneaked into the mansions of various ministers.
That's right, the secret order was to let them steal all the money and treasures from the homes of the ministers except for a few honest ministers, not even to let go of the food!
Just like the geese plucking their feathers when they pass by, or the locusts passing by, not even leaving any hair for them!
The Dragon Shadow Guards were still very ashamed and uneasy when they committed the crime of stealing for the first time. After the theft was successful, they began to feel at ease.
From treasure houses and granaries to as small as the jade bracelet that a lady wore on her hand and the leftover white bread in the kitchen, they were all stolen!
Steal whatever you see, even the cabbage you planted in the soil will be pulled out by the roots and taken away!
In their sleep, no one thought that the most powerful elite in the entire Yanchi Dynasty was stealing their home...
The moonlight is getting darker, and Yun Yaoyao is still "persuading" and threatening to get the officials to donate money.
The officials said they were drunk, so what kind of money could they donate? What benefits water and builds prosperity?
They don’t understand any of them!
The female relatives around the official quickly apologized, saying that the husband was drunk and it was getting late, so they wanted to take him back to sober up and rest.
The officials just muddled through and returned to their mansions.
They were still complacent about their superb acting skills, but they saw the butler walking towards him with a pale complexion, as if he were mourning for a heir, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Old... Master, my home was robbed, and all the property and food were stolen!!!"
After figuring out the situation, the ministers completely sobered up, and their eyes turned black.
Now, the family is truly barren!
"My money...my money!!!"
The officials cried out sincerely.
On the other side, Yun Yaoyao took Tu Shanjin to the palace on the pretext that she was drunk and needed someone to serve her.
A new letter appeared on the table, which was exclusively for Long Shadow Guard. Tu Shanjin picked it up immediately.
The more he looked, the less tense his expression became.
"So...you dispatched the Long Shadow Guards to steal money and food from various ministers' houses?"
Tu Shanjin found it incredible and was greatly shocked.
He thought about several possibilities, and thought that Yun Yaoyao was preparing to use her sharp tongue to launch a fund-raising campaign. I also thought that Yun Yaoyao would make a fuss about the minister.
But she never expected that she would choose to steal directly.
When I think of the iron-blooded men of the Long Shadow Guards who went out to steal rats and dogs in the middle of the night, and after stealing, they secretly hid the things in the secret passages of the imperial city...
The picture was too beautiful for him to imagine.
"Why not? They have great martial arts and good light skills. It would be a pity not to do this kind of thing." Yun Yaoyao was very satisfied with Long Yingwei's performance today!
"you…"
The corners of Tu Shanjin's mouth twitched and he hesitated to speak. Thousands of words finally turned into one sentence: "You really think differently from ordinary people..."
Yun Yaoyao was extremely proud: "Thank you for the compliment. As you said, I am the book of life and death!"
Tu Shanjin: "..."
But I have to say that this method saved him a lot of trouble, as he no longer had to spend a lot of time dealing with those old fritters.
With the money and food available for the early stages of digging the Grand Canal, the construction of water conservancy projects can be put on the agenda.
The secret letter roughly summarized the amount of money stolen from each official's house, which was shocking. The money that a certain group of court bugs had embezzled was far beyond his imagination.
What's more, some officials are so cunning that it is very possible that there are more hidden places where money is hidden in their homes that have not been discovered.
One of them, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, was as rich as a country. Sooner or later, he found the right time to take action on him!
Soon, rumors spread in the capital that a group of foreign thieves called the "Demon Thief Group" had entered the capital in disguise. They were all capable people, some could shrink bones, some could escape from the earth, and some had the ability to escape from the earth. There is a treasure called "Qiankun Bag". Hanging on the waist, a small one can fit a house!
Watchmen and beggars witnessed it with their own eyes, adding some credibility to this rumor.
And after a comprehensive door-to-door search, the stolen property was still not found, and even the officials believed the rumor.
For a time, people in the capital were panicked. Various rumors came one after another. Security at the city gates was strengthened, and there were even three or four times more people patrolling the roads.
Of course, this was all laid out by Yun Yaoyao in advance, and she found someone to spread false news.
After King Ze learned the news, he was surprised for a long time, but he felt something was wrong.
His intuition told him that this matter might have something to do with the man from the palace...
