That’s right, these two beggars are from Xiu Lingqun’s intelligence station.

Xiu Luoran felt that he could make good use of this information to make some money for himself.

She was afraid that Xiu Lingqun would have a psychological burden, so she explained to him:

"We are helping that official. There will be a price to pay for stealing and harming others.

I feel like we're all short of 100,000.

Think about it, he has plenty of money. If this matter were to be exposed, he would lose his job, his wife might not live with him, and he would lose his father-in-law as his support.

Do you think he still has a chance to make a success? Without anyone to rely on, can he keep all the money he has?

As long as he is not stupid, he will know what to choose. "

Xiu Lingqun nodded: "I also know how to choose."

"After we get the money, we can build more roads and provide better food for the workers.

The work period is longer and the workers can earn more.

Maybe because of the money made from road construction, many poor families don’t have to go hungry or sell their children.

Is this a good thing? Is this a good thing that will bring you good fortune and blessings?"

After hearing what Xiu Luoran said, Xiu Lingqun felt that this was indeed a good thing to do, so he happily went to find his subordinates to study the matter.

The research results came out, and in order to show their fearlessness, they decided to visit during the day.

Of course, I went there with a new look and some makeup.

The eloquent man laid out the interests one by one, making the official feel:

If he dared not agree to their conditions, he would be dead and would not even be able to survive in the capital.

Because these people will keep asking him for money over this matter and won't let him have an easy time.

The official didn't even have time to say anything before the doorman came to tell him that his wife had returned and was getting off the car at the door.

He suddenly became anxious. He must not let his wife know about this.

He immediately gave the money, but the note only had 90,000 taels. He didn't follow the usual procedure when he went to the bank to withdraw money, so he just picked up an object and used it as a substitute for 10,000 taels.

Xiu Lingqun's subordinate was a connoisseur of valuables. He took the banknotes and items, then took everyone away through the back door.

Having said that, Xiu Lingqun took out 90,000 taels of silver notes and the item and gave them to Xiu Luoran.

When Xiu Luoran saw the object, she felt that it was not an ordinary toy and might have some special uses.

Besides, this is "stolen goods" and cannot be given to Xiu Lingqun, for fear that he will get into trouble with it.

Xiu Luoran said: "Third brother, I like this thing very much, I will keep it for fun. Tell your men to pretend that they have never seen this thing, so as to avoid getting into trouble.

I'll just leave you 40,000 in banknotes. When you go back, reward your men well.

You must emphasize that without your consent, your subordinates are not allowed to act privately, otherwise they will be severely punished."

Xiu Luoran was afraid that Xiu Lingqun's subordinates would follow his example, extorting money and causing trouble everywhere, which would lead to chaos.

Besides, this kind of thing cannot be done all the time. It depends on the specific situation.

Xiu Lingqun gave Xiu Luoran another 20,000 taels:

"Luoluo, keep the money. You still have to pay if the road is not finished.

I'll tell my men to just pretend they didn't receive anything like this.

Through this operation, I discovered several problems, and I have to go back and deal with them properly to make the intelligence station more complete and more formal."

"Go."

Xiu Luoran took the object to find Xiu Lingce:

"Brother, let me show you something."

When Xiu Lingce got the thing in his hand, he was shocked:

"Luoluo, where did you get it?"

Xiu Luoran did not hide anything and told everything.

Xiu Lingce looked at his sister with amusement:

"You are reluctant to use your own money to build roads, so you go to 'eat the rich'?"

Xiu Luoran said proudly:

"That's real ability. If I had to use my own money for everything, I wouldn't be able to afford it no matter how much money I had.

Besides, it’s much more fun to spend other people’s money than to spend your own money.”

Xiu Lingce pointed at Xiu Luoran and smiled:

"You always have twisted ideas. Leave this thing here with me. It's safe."

Xiu Luoran didn't ask what it was. She carefully examined Xiu Lingce's leg, asked a few questions, and then left with peace of mind.

Xiu Lingce looked at the golden lion inlaid with jade and gems in his hand and couldn't help but sigh at Xiu Luoran's luck again.

Countless people searched the entire capital city for this golden lion but still couldn't find it.

In order to get money, my younger sister came up with an idea, and someone gave her the Golden Lion in exchange for ten thousand taels.

Ten thousand taels?

Hum, this is a priceless treasure! It is worth more than tens of millions.

Xiu Lingce turned his wheelchair, walked to the wall, and looked up at the beams.

He stretched out his hand and sent out a burst of internal force, and a hole appeared on the beam.

He threw the golden lion into the hole and closed it again, and the beams returned to their original state.

This thing is of great importance, and now is not the time for it to be released.

He didn't even plan to tell his father so as not to cause trouble for him.

……

Xiu Luoran came to find Yuan Ling: "Master Yuan, thank you for your hard work."

Yuan Ling saw Xiu Luoran and said with a smile:

"Miss Xiu, you came to see me, but what are you dissatisfied with?"

He could never have imagined that Xiu Luoran came to send him money.

After working for so many days, less than half of the five thousand taels were used. The labor cost was really too cheap.

Judging from the current situation, this money is almost enough to repair those main roads.

If it is not enough, he plans to use the compensation he received to build bridges and roads, which is a good deed.

How could Xiu Luoran be dissatisfied? She asked:

"Master Yuan, I'm sorry to trouble you. Is your superior not trying to find fault with you?"

"No, no." Yuan Ling said repeatedly.

Not only that, his superiors were extremely satisfied with him and said that he was capable and used other people's money to do his own things.

If this road is repaired, it will be a great achievement for their Ministry of Revenue.

Why do I say that? Because it didn't cost the national treasury a penny. If this kind of thing were done a few more times, how much money would the court save?

I should be very happy to have such a capable official under my command, so why would I find fault with him?

Xiu Luoran nodded: "That's good. Lord Yuan, I think, since we have to repair it once, we might as well repair all the roads."

"All the roads? Miss Xiu is going to repair them?"

How much money would that cost? Five thousand taels would definitely not be enough.

"Master Yuan, I will give you another five thousand taels. Feel free to do it. If you don't have enough money, tell me.

If there are not enough people, you can send people to the countryside, to the villages near the capital to publicize the work. I believe more people will come to do the work.

I hope Lord Yuan can coordinate with the Jingzhao Yin Yamen and ask them to send more runners to the streets to maintain order.

When necessary, you can give those yamen runners some benefits every now and then, or send them some meat, eggs, wine, etc., and it won’t cost much.”

Why not send it to the officials in the Jingzhao Yin Yamen?

Because there's no need for it.

The road was repaired, and the Ministry of Revenue was greatly rewarded, as was the Jingzhao Yin Yamen. If you think about it, officials get credit for nothing without having to worry about anything, they certainly won't care so much.

Besides, in the capital, Jingzhao Yin is not the only government office that can maintain order.

After hearing Xiu Luoran's words, Yuan Ling was very happy. Now that the money was in place, what could not be done?

All the roads in the capital have been widened. Common people, people carrying loads on their shoulders and people riding in horse-drawn carriages walk on both sides, while people riding horses walk in the middle. It's really nice.

Shouldn't he get a horse, too? He can ride a horse, too.

Riding a horse is not only fast, but also cool in summer and autumn. Besides, riding a horse is very majestic.

"Don't worry, Miss Xiu. I promise to handle this matter well."

"Master Yuan, for the food for the workers, you can give them one more pancake with more cornmeal in it, and as for the vegetables, add more meat as appropriate."

"well."

Xiu Luoran returned home, and Mochou quietly told her:

"Miss, didn't the Second Madam go back to her parents' home today? When she came back just now, I saw her with disheveled hair.

Those who didn’t know would think that she went back to her parents’ home to fight.”
