Chapter 234 Is it so easy to make up a lie?
[But how should I take out this money reasonably? I can't say that I stole the money from the loyal and brave marquis's storehouse, it's really annoying! ]
[The food and military pay for the Zhenyuan Army that was given out last time was enough for me to spend a lot of time making up lies. This time, I have to give out such a large sum of money. It is really unacceptable without a reasonable explanation! ]
Emperor Qinglong was also very anxious. How could he make up a reasonable excuse for her?
Old Master Zhu and others just realized that even the food and military pay that General Zhenyuan needed last time was provided by her.
That’s hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!
Everyone said that she was arrogant and conceited, but no one noticed that despite her noble status, she always wore plain clothes and did not wear any jewelry. Ordinary merchant girls were more luxurious than her.
Every ounce of silver she spent solved the worries of the soldiers in the army, ensured that the people living in the border areas had enough food and clothing, and gave the homeless women in the capital a place to stay and learn a skill.
She did so much but never told anyone about it, and no one in the capital knew about it.
"that……"
Song Yunxi hesitated for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "Actually, money is not a difficult thing."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Song Yunxi was a little hesitant, but the money had to be given away, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "My third brother gave me a lot of money, and I don't have any use for it, so I can..."
"Okay, then consider it as a loan from me. I will return it to you when the treasury is well-stocked."
ha?
Song Yunxi was a little confused.
[No, is it so easy to tell a lie? ]
Is there no one who questions her clumsy lies?
Song Yunxi's confused look made everyone laugh and sigh at the same time -
Song Yunxi is not only their lucky star, but also the lucky star of the Jin'an Dynasty.
"Okay, then lend it to Uncle Master. I have no use for so much silver anyway."
[Woohoo, who would have thought that money would be spent so quickly? I had originally thought of leaving myself some space for leisure, but now I don’t have a penny left.]
[There are still so many children in the Girls' Home who need to be fed, and the support for the border cannot be stopped... We really have to work hard to make money! ]
[Master Dog said it was a loan, but considering his treasury which was in deficit, it was definitely a waste of effort. Anyway, it was better to rely on myself than on him.]
[Why not just raid a few more corrupt officials' residences and solve the urgent problem first. ]
Emperor Qinglong: This is possible.
In the end, Song Yunxi successfully gave away all the gold, silver and jewelry she had looted from Marquis Zhongyong, even including the silver notes that Xuan Ke had given her in the evening.
She just felt heartbroken, so painful that she felt like she was suffocating.
Emperor Qinglong felt distressed seeing her like that, and reflected on how he was an incompetent uncle. Not only did he not give her any benefits, he also emptied her small treasury.
Emperor Qinglong subconsciously looked at his fourth son, and that calculating look made Ye Xuanqi's heart tighten.
The more they looked at each other, the more they matched. Emperor Qinglong became more determined.
Well, just give the fourth one to that stinky girl to serve!
After the expedition was confirmed, General Pingnan, Grand Tutor Zhu and others left as they wished, and Emperor Qinglong left his two sons and Song Yunxi behind.
"I know everything that the Loyal and Brave Marquis and his son did. Old Four, do you mean to hold off for now?"
Song Yunxi nodded: "I have checked the account books of the manor and the Qinlou and Chuguan. You can't imagine that it is simply a den of money. The wealth of the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in the capital may have been invested in it."
"Twenty years, Master, that's twenty years! How could the money they earned in twenty years be only this little?"
Emperor Qinglong understood what she meant: "Are you saying that there is someone behind Jiang Yuhai, and that all the wealth earned by him was given to that person?"
Song Yunxi suddenly felt hatred in her heart: "In the past twenty years, how many innocent people have they killed? How could Jiang Yuhai dare to do such a thing?"
Emperor Qinglong remembered: "Jiang Yuhai's succession to the title was not smooth."
The old Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery favored a clever, capable, and gifted illegitimate son. The prince Jiang Yuhai was mediocre in talent and was not liked by the old marquis at all. He had a hard time making his way in the mansion, and the old marquis even thought of asking for an imperial decree to depose the prince.
But at this time, the illegitimate son that the old marquis loved died of a serious illness, and Jiang Yuhai's threat disappeared.
The old marquis once suspected his wife and Jiang Yuhai, but all the evidence proved that they and their son were innocent. The illegitimate son did die of a serious illness and there was no sign of poisoning.
Jiang Yuhai's position was finally consolidated, but the old marquis, perhaps due to the heavy blow of losing his beloved son, fell ill soon after and passed away within half a year.
Ye Xuan Ke snorted coldly: "How can there be such a coincidence? It must be that Jiang Yuhai and his mother poisoned the bastard first and then killed the old marquis."
Song Yunxi was not used to the fact that a single-celled species suddenly grew a brain.
Sensing her scrutinizing gaze, Ye Xuan Ke asked uncomfortably: "Did I say something wrong?"
Being constantly teased by Song Yunxi made him lose confidence.
Song Yunxi didn't give him any face at all: "I find it strange because you are right."
He looked Ye Xuanke up and down and asked, "Are you finally willing to take your brain out today?"
Ye Xuanke: “…”
Sure enough, what is supposed to come will come.
Ye Xuanqi asked Emperor Qinglong: "When the old Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery suddenly passed away, did no one in the Jiang family suspect anything?"
Emperor Qinglong shook his head: "No."
Song Yunxi said coldly: "To be able to make the whole clan so united in their attitude, I wouldn't believe it if you said there is no conspiracy behind it!"
And this past experience finally made her understand why Jiang Yuhai valued his legitimate son so much and ignored his illegitimate son.
Everything indeed has a traceable path.
Emperor Qinglong asked Song Yunxi, "Does your third brother know about the affairs of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his son?"
"Oh, I see."
Emperor Qinglong thought about it and finally made a decision: "I will leave the matter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis and his son to you. I believe you can handle it well."
"And if I leave this matter to you, you will definitely let Jiang Yanting escape unscathed, and your father won't have to worry."
Song Yunxi didn't think there was anything wrong with it and accepted it as a matter of course. However, the Ye Xuanqi brother was shocked and they exchanged glances.
Ye Xuanke: Is it true that Father has too much trust in her? Now the power he has given her is getting bigger and bigger.
It is the trust and power that these princes may not have.
Ye Xuanqi felt the same way.
Is it really just because they are from the same school that the emperor trusts her so much and keeps giving her power?
A flash of inspiration came into Ye Xuanqi's mind, and it seemed that something was about to come out, but it was so fast that he couldn't catch it.
Just at this time, Concubine Tong and her son arrived, and Ye Xuanqi had no time to think deeply.
"Your Majesty, I heard that South Vietnam has sent troops to invade our borders?"
