Rebellious officials and thieves are cheating on their fathers

As soon as Chu Yu mentioned it, he became a little angry, "This group of old people like to talk about ostentation when they do things on weekdays. When they really want to give out money, they all start to pretend to be poor! They only donate a few hundred each. There are only a few thousand, and the total is only ten thousand taels."

Qin Ailan glanced at a list on the table, walked over and opened it, and saw that her name was also on it, and the amount was not too much, just 500 taels, this Xia Hougui was on the right track.

If the number is too large, it will appear to be of unknown origin, but if it is too small, it will be shabby and stingy.

In addition to Qin Xisong who donated 1000 silver, Yang Hongqing also donated [-], and Li Mufei donated more than [-].

Qin Ailan put away the roster and said: "There are more than 1 taels, which is still very good. Your Majesty, don't set your expectations too high, so that you won't be disappointed. However, I didn't expect Master Yang and Master Li to spend generously!"

"Fortunately, there are still two adults with a sincere heart, I am very pleased." Chu Yu said.

"It seems that these two adults should be well-off!"

"No. Mr. Yang came from a poor family, how can he say that his family is rich? Although Mr. Li is not from a poor family, he is not considered a prominent family. What's more, Mr. Li's mother has been ill for a long time, and the Li family should not have much savings. They are all For honest and honest officials, this money must be all their frugal possessions." Chu Yu explained.

"The emperor has a high opinion of the two adults, so you trust them?" Qin Ailan asked curiously.

In fact, what he said just now was just to find out about Yang Hongqing.

"Although they are not as cynical as Mr. Zheng, I still can't make mistakes in my opinion." Chu Yu looked determined.

Qin Ailan didn't comment. Although he had met Yang Hongqing, he didn't know enough about it; as for Mr. Li, he only knew him, and he had never even said hello.

"Then why didn't the emperor win them over?" Qin Ailan asked with a smile.

"Under Qin Xisong's eyes, it is extremely difficult to win someone over. The matter of Mr. Zheng is a lesson for me, and I dare not be careless. They are doing well now, at least I know that there are still people in this world who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic." Heart."

Seeing that he experienced Zheng Heng's incident, Qin Ailan understood a lot, so she didn't continue the discussion, and instead said: "There is no record of your amount on it, I wonder how much the emperor plans to donate?"

Chu Yu frowned slightly, "Most of the silver and jewels in my private treasury were left to me by the late emperor and mother concubine, and the rest were treasures handed down from my ancestors. Although I am a little bit reluctant, the people are in trouble now. What is taken from the people must be returned to the people. I plan to donate all the remaining five thousand silver and eight hundred taels of gold."

"The emperor loves the people like a son. If the late emperor and your mother and concubine knew about it, they would definitely appreciate your actions."

"It's my incompetence, and I will have no face to face them from now on..." Chu Yu's brows were clouded with sorrow, she paused, and then said, "It's all sad to say these things! Come with me to the private treasury to get money! "

Qin Ailan didn't think that he would invite her to the private treasury, so she smiled and said: "The emperor is not afraid that I will know your small treasury?"

Seeing the sly smirk on his face, Chu Yu couldn't help but sneer: "My treasury may not be as rich as the servants of your Xiangfu."

Qin Ailan felt bored, so she went to his private treasury with Chu Yu resentfully.

It is said to be a private warehouse, but it is actually an unremarkable small room next to Luohuang Pavilion; the locks in the room are very ingeniously designed, and the treasure chests inside are also locked with golden locks.

Chu Yu opened several boxes, and they were filled with silver in an orderly manner.

Qin Ailan took a few glances, then pointed to the boxes next to her and said, "What's inside these?"

Chu Yu was slightly dazed, and then went to open all the boxes one by one. Many boxes were empty, some were filled with jewelry and jade, and some were filled with toys for infants and young children.

"Chunfenglou asked you to pay two thousand gold in compensation that day. I don't think you have that much in total; if someone really cared for you, wouldn't you be ruined?" Qin Ailan couldn't help laughing when she recalled the scene when they first met. road.

Hearing this, Chu Yu's expression changed, and there was a thin layer of anger on his face, "I want to see who of them dares to ask me for it."

Qin Ailan took a rattle casually, "Could it be yours too?"

Chu Yu said with a straight face, "That was my childhood plaything."

Qin Ailan put it down with a soft smile. He suddenly wanted to see what Chu Yu looked like when he was a child. Unfortunately, there were no cameras in this world, so he couldn't see it either.

Seeing his smile, Chu Yu knew that he must be laughing at her childishness, so she went over to cover the box, "Without my permission, you are not allowed to touch my things from now on."

Qin Ailan didn't expect him to be angry again, and this kind of angry words... obviously only children would say it when they are angry!

Qin Ailan thought he was very interesting, so she stood aside with her arms folded and watched him re-lock the boxes one by one.

Chu Yu was very busy, but when she looked up, she saw Qin Ailan leisurely holding her hands and smiling at herself. She couldn't help being a little annoyed, "What are you doing standing by?"

"Without the emperor's permission, I dare not act recklessly." Qin Ailan replied with a smile.

Chu Yu couldn't help feeling depressed when he thought of what he had just said.

He endured it, stood up, handed him the key, and said coldly, "Go and lock all the empty boxes."

"Yes! Please follow the holy will!" Qin Ailan imitated the tone of those ministers and said.

But Chu Yu didn't see any humility from him.

After Qin Ailan locked all the empty boxes, she also locked the boxes containing silver and gold bars.

"I will pay for the part you want to donate. I will treat these things as if you have given them to me. I don't need them for the time being. Just take care of them for me." Qin Ailan said casually.

Chu Yu was slightly taken aback, and looked at Qin Ailan with some confusion.

Qin Ailan let him scrutinize her, "Of course, if the emperor really wants to be so generous, then you can pretend that I didn't say anything just now."

It is of course the best thing if you can move these things; there is no need to take out the last of your things, unless it is absolutely necessary.

Chu Yu thought.

"Then it's as you said, my share will be paid by you."

Anyway, your Qin family has taken away a lot of people's fat and blood, so it's only natural to spit out more now.

Seeing his arrogance in his words and deeds, Qin Ailan couldn't help smiling wryly: What a little white-eyed wolf!

"When do you plan to take out the bribe you received?" Chu Yu asked again.

"Why is your majesty so anxious? Lord Lin is still in prison. I'm afraid it's not safe to hand it over to you. You think that if someone finds out these bank notes with you, then if it spreads out, it will be bad for you. I thought you had mountains of gold and silver!" Qin Ailan replied with a somewhat lazy tone.

Chu Yu didn't refute this time, it was indeed much safer to put it on Qin Ailan's body than on her own.

After all, no one dared to break ground on the heads of the Qin family and his son!

"That's good." Chu Yu thought for a while, and then said, "Tomorrow I will discuss the matter of donating money at the court, and I will need Master Qin's cooperation at that time. I am afraid that your father will not let go of the matter of the Lin family. , you have to be ready."

Little white-eyed wolf, his tone is so calm when he needs himself.

Chu Yu couldn't help laughing self-deprecatingly, "I know this matter well."
