Chapter 107 Making a lot of money
Although their economy is not very developed, there are troops stationed there all year round to prevent the surrounding small countries from invading the territory of Da Chu.
It was normal for civil officials and military generals to look down on each other. On weekdays, the two sides had few opportunities for contact and their relationship was one of non-interference.
Therefore, Liu Changhe felt that the soldiers were still trustworthy. As for whether he could convince the garrison leaders to send troops to support his actions, it all depended on his performance.
However, Liu Changhe believed that he still had great hope of successfully borrowing troops on this trip.
There are few wars on their side, and there is not much money to be made. It is nothing but a pipe dream to hope for promotion based on military achievements.
Those who are sent here to work either have no connections or no background, and can only gain experience here year after year. Anyone with some connections will not choose to stay here.
The amount of money Zhao Yongxin embezzled was too huge. If they cooperated with him to bring Zhao Yongxin to justice, it would be a great achievement. When the imperial court awarded them, they would certainly get some benefits. They should not refuse such a free contribution.
If they handle it well, they can take this opportunity to be transferred to other places. At worst, they will get some material rewards. No matter how you calculate it, they will not lose out, so they will naturally not refuse.
When Liu Changhe left, Lin Chuyi followed him out of the government office, but Lin Chuyi did not get on the carriage with him.
She had already known Liu Changhe's thoughts through mind reading, and she was not worried that anything unexpected would happen to Liu Changhe on this trip.
After all, his natural talent and skills allow him to have a successful career in the government. Such a person would have good luck. Even if she had not done this, Liu Changhe would have been able to defeat Zhao Yongxin with his own abilities sooner or later and regain control of Lanzhou.
I just accelerated the process and didn't prevent him from getting promoted and making money, so naturally there wouldn't be any accidents.
She now has more important things to do. The information Lin Chuyi gave to Liu Changhe was all true, including the specific locations of the three private vaults. What she had to do was to collect the things in the private vaults before Liu Changhe.
The current evidence and the amount involved are enough to convict Zhao Yongxin, and she can't go to great lengths to give credit to Liu Changhe without making any profit at all.
She is a businessman and cannot do business at a loss. The other two private vaults are just the reward for this trip, as she happens to be short of money recently.
According to Zhao Yongxin's instructions, Lin Chuyi found the locations of two private vaults. One was in an inconspicuous courtyard in West City, and there were four men guarding it. At this time, the four men were drinking and playing cards in the house.
"When will our life end? It's so boring every day." said one of them.
"I think it's pretty good. The work is easy and not tiring, there's wine and meat every day, and the monthly salary is high." Another person held an opposing opinion.
"I think so too. I would rather stay here than go out and be a bad guy. It would be a shame."
"Yes, Third Brother, just be content."
……
Lin Chuyi listened outside the house for a while and then left. Before leaving, he pasted a weakened isolation talisman on the wall to block out the sound from the outside world. According to Zhao Yongxin's instructions, he found the location of the warehouse and opened the door of the warehouse with the replica key.
Lin Chuyi pushed the door open and went in. The warehouse was very large, probably because two rooms were connected directly. It was filled with all kinds of furniture and rare antiques.
Lin Chuyi did not touch these things. She went directly to the southwest corner of the house, pried open the floor tiles, revealing an iron door underneath. She unlocked it with the key and successfully opened the iron door, revealing the passage leading down.
Lin Chuyi waited until the air downstairs had circulated enough before he went down.
Those things above are just a decoy, the real treasure trove is underground.
Zhao Yongxin set up the treasure house here because he had a fancy for this huge underground space. All the porters and craftsmen who knew this secret were killed by him.
There are several other courtyards like the one above where furniture and antiques are stored, all of which are used to conceal their presence.
As a result, after all the defense, everything Zhao Yongxin really wanted to hide fell into Lin Chuyi's hands.
The amount of gold, silver and jewelry here is much greater than that in the secret room in the study. There are probably hundreds of boxes of all sizes added up. This surprised Lin Chuyi.
After putting everything into the space, Lin Chuyi returned to the ground, restored everything, and left the warehouse without even glancing at the precious furniture and antiques.
She has no hobby of collecting, nor does she know how to appreciate their value. To her, these things are not much different from the mass-produced furniture and ornaments in her space.
These things are valuable, some because of the exquisite skills of the craftsmen, some because of their age, and some because of the scarcity of the materials.
Her space has all these conditions. As long as she wants, she can create a batch of "antiques" at any time, so it doesn't make much difference to her whether she takes these things or not.
After climbing over the courtyard wall, Lin Chu ran towards another private warehouse.
Another private warehouse was located in a villa outside the city, where more than a hundred people lived, including more than twenty masters.
Some of them were beauties given to Zhao Yongxin by others, while others were women that Zhao Yongxin obtained through coercion and bribery.
After the novelty wears off, Zhao Yongxin will send people to this villa, otherwise such a small Tongpan Mansion will not be able to accommodate so many people.
For those women, this place is like an exquisite cage. They wear gorgeous clothes, eat exquisite dishes, and receive attentive care from servants, but they are trapped here forever.
Every time Zhao Yongxin came, it was a torture for them, because every time Zhao Yongxin came, it meant one of them would lose their life, and they didn’t know if they would be the next.
In this atmosphere of panic, someone soon fell ill. The disease seemed to be contagious, and the masters in other villages fell ill one after another, their faces turned pale and their bodies became emaciated.
The manager was afraid of getting into trouble, so he ran back to the city and informed Zhao Yongxin about the matter.
Zhao Yongxin even came over in person. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled the unpleasant odor of medicine. Seeing that they were all very ill, Zhao Yongxin just cursed them and left.
Originally he came here just to see his treasure and find some new things, but he didn't expect that everyone was so disappointing, which was really a waste of his time.
When Lin Chuyi thought of Zhao Yongxin's description of this place, she already had some understanding of the situation of these women. At this moment, seeing them lying on the bed in a haggard state, she couldn't help shaking her head. What a sin!
However, sympathy aside, Lin Chuyi did not forget the purpose of coming here. While the invisibility talisman had not yet expired, Lin Chuyi found the entrance to the secret room, followed the same procedure, and quietly completed the transfer of property.
