Chapter 500: Meng Yunzheng’s Original Countermeasure
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As soon as she entered, Meng Yunzheng said, “I heard that you buried a lot of silver outside the Dongan Province?”
Unlike Shu Yu, the time and travel of the officers were much more free. As soon as Meng Yunzheng followed, the leading officer had already met him.
Naturally, it also told him what had happened during the day.
Meng Yunzheng was very surprised. They had already discussed the countermeasures after the five taels (monetary) of silver were used up. Anyway, they would let Shu Yu continue to receive special care from the officials.
But now, it seemed that it was useless.
Shu Yu looked up and smiled. “That’s right. Didn’t you help bury the silver?”
“I finally know why you buried it so many times.” Before this, Meng Yunzheng hadn’t guessed it. He smiled at Shu Yu and praised, “That’s a good idea.”
Shu Yu blew her hair that was hanging down.” That’s right. I’m not lacking in money now. Any problem that can be solved with money is not big. Anyway, I’ve already made preparations. On the way to exile, I’ll have to spend money to avoid disaster.”
Meng Yunzheng smiled. She was indeed rich now.
He didn’t know how much silver was in the box, but when he opened it, he realized it was a thick stack.
Zhao Xi even cried out in surprise. It turned out that Shu Yu’s gesture of two was not two thousand taels of silver, but more than twenty-five thousand taels of silver.
So the imported goods that she said she would sell to the black market were sold at such a high price?
Zhao Xi wanted to know what that thing was more and more. Moreover, he expressed his deep jealousy.
Shu Yu was a little smug. She was now a rich woman with a huge sum of money of more than twenty thousand taels of silver. Compared to the pitiful 60 taels of silver in the past, it was simply too good.
Moreover, she couldn’t always let Meng Yunzheng and the others help arrange everything behind her. Wouldn’t that make her seem too useless?
However, she was still curious.
“If, and I’m saying if, I didn’t bury the silver in the Dongan Province, what method will you use to make those officials continue to take care of me?”
Meng Yunzheng said, “Create an accident so that you can save the leader. Since you’re his savior, the other officers can’t say anything if he treats you well on the way. However, it is better to use silver to solve it. After all, if you save someone, it is inevitable that you will suffer some pain.”
Accidents might even happen if they were not careful.
However, Shu Yu felt awkward. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I think this method of yours is good. It doesn’t even cost a penny. And if I’m injured, they might even get me a cart and push me away.”
Meng Yunzheng was speechless. Then you’re thinking too much.
He found it funny. “You have so much money now. Why do you care about this?”
“This? This isn’t just a little, it’s a hundred taels (monetary).”
Meng Yunzheng looked at her regretful expression, like a miser. It was not to this extent before. Could it confirm the saying that the richer the person, the more stingy he was?
He shook his head with a smile and took out the food for tonight.
Even though the light in the room wasn’t bright, a large pork knuckle in soy sauce was still very tempting.
Shu Yu took it silently, then took a bite and said vaguely, “Don’t give me meat next time. I eat meat every day, and I’ve been a little angry recently. Bring me some vegetables tomorrow. I need to eat some grass to relieve my pain.”
Shu Yu looked down on her insatiable behavior for a moment, then continued to bite the sauce pork knuckle.
