The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 268: Temporarily assigned important tasks

Chapter 268 Temporarily assigned important tasks

Du Qian, who happened to be walking over, heard his sister calling him stupid, and immediately pretended to be unconvinced, "Sister, how can you say that to your brother?"

"You're stupid, why can't you tell me?" Du Wan pouted her pink lips playfully, "You'd better go back to the cell and reflect."

Haha. You are a little money addict, how dare you take care of your brother?

Du Qian pressed her hair with his big hand and rubbed it.

Du Wan was so angry that he shouted, "Stop! Your hair is messed up. I don't think you want to go out anymore. Hmm, I'm going to complain to my uncle and ask him to keep you in detention for a few more days."

"you dare"

The two brothers and sisters were having fun.

The entire prison population heard it.

Everyone in the capital knows that the emperor loves the two brothers very much, especially Princess Jiaoyang. Look at her, she can now enter the palace with a sword hanging on her waist... Some people will inevitably have their thoughts wandering.

The next three meals a day.

Du Wan gave everyone food and drinks as agreed.

Four dishes, one soup, and a small jar of wine.

When the wine was delivered, Old Man Zhou opened it and smelled something different. It was water wine from outside, that is, bad wine mixed with water, costing one tael of silver per jar.

Du Wan now sat down in front of Old Man Zhou, looking very carefree.

Old man Zhou said with a bitter face: "Princess, can't you get some good wine?"

"Do you know how much that jar of tribute wine was worth? The princess lost money, do you know that?" Du Wan's face was filled with anger.

Old man Zhou is an official and is good at wine, so he naturally knows the price. "Then I can add more money, okay?"

Okay, thats fine.

Du Wan suddenly beamed and rubbed her hands together, "How much do you want to add? Hey, as long as you give me money, as long as you have enough money, you can buy anything."

Old man Zhou had only heard about Du Wan's deeds before, and they were not good things. Now it seems that this little girl is a heartless person. Not only that, she also loves money.

Then, Old Man Zhou couldn't help teasing her, "Can you really buy anything?"

"certainly!"

How about life, can I buy it? Old Man Zhou blurted out.

Du Wan's smile faded and she looked him up and down, "Have you ever harmed anyone?"

"No, I'm just greedy for money. That's what officialdom is like. I wanted to do something practical for the people at the beginning, but the environment didn't allow it. If you don't follow the same trend, grass will grow on your grave." Old man Zhou took a big sip. liquor.

Happy greed will grow bigger and bigger.

Later on, he no longer looked like himself.

Old man Zhou was in tears while drinking wine, "I regret that I have caused trouble to my family. I shouldn't have studied in the first place. It would have been better for the whole family to live peacefully."

Your family was also arrested?

Theyve all been caught, and theyre almost going to be exiled.

Du Wan's little face showed a very embarrassed look, "Then how much money do you have left?"

"There are so many, but I don't dare to take them out." Old man Zhou felt that he was a little drunk, otherwise why would he be so careless with a little girl?

Du Wan said: "How about you take out all the money and I will save your life and prevent your family from being exiled, but the family wealth will be gone."

What? Old Man Zhou was startled.

The wine jar was knocked over in his panic. Du Wan whispered, "Do you want to do this business?"

Do it! Old Man Zhou was extremely excited and said loudly.

Du Wan hurriedly slipped behind him and looked around. When he saw no one was here, he walked back as if he was relieved and said with disgust: "Old man, why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid that others won't know? ?

Yes, yes, I was wrong, I shouldnt have shouted so loudly.

Old man Zhou was so excited that his face turned red. This was a man on the verge of death who suddenly saw life. What if the family property is gone? At least his family didn't have to be exiled and he could survive.

The movement between the two people, especially the excited look of Old Man Zhou just now, would be difficult to avoid attracting people's attention. The neighboring cells, especially the man on the opposite side, could hear very little of their conversations. He envied Old Man Zhou's good luck, but at the same time he also had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Old man Zhou can buy his life with money, can he do the same?

Du Wan and Old Man Zhou talked quietly for a while.

Du Wan then left for a while, and when he came back, he had pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand.

Du Wan asked him to write down his private property. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to remember it or had misremembered it. "Old man Zhou, don't hide it, let alone cheat. If I find out, the transaction will be void. You only have one chance. take care of it."

Yes! I understand.

Old man Zhou didnt dare to hide his secrets at all.

Du Wan warned her again solemnly. It was discovered that she had many ways to put his whole family in jail. This is an opportunity, a rare opportunity. Old man Zhou doesn't dare to be clever.

Old man Zhou wrote down all his private property.

Three places where the money was hidden, as well as more than a dozen houses and villages, and tens of thousands of acres of farmland, were all in other people's names, so they were not found when the government inspected them.

Du Wan took it over and was satisfied, "Just wait, you will have the results in three days at most."

So, she picked up a piece of paper that Old Man Zhou had filled with writing, put her little hands on her back, and walked out with a step that she didn't recognize her relatives. She looked very arrogant.

Du Qian knew that the matter was done when he saw his sister's arrogant look.

Du Wan held the list filled with words and waved it in front of Du Qian, "Whatever, as long as I, the princess, take action, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished."

Yes, yes, my little fairy is invincible in the world.

Dont be so blunt, saying that you are invincible, hehe, at most I am just a little girl with both civil and military skills.

Du Qian nodded seriously.

Then he took the list, read it over, and evaluated it silently in his mind.

Du Wan was not sure about the prices of some items, "Brother, how much money are these worth?"

At least a million taels of silver. Du Qian gave an approximate price.

Du Wan was surprised, "Being an official is very rewarding. Pei Hao also said before that his family could only collect 200,000 gold even if they spent all their wealth."

Its not surprising that the town government has no money.

"How to say?"

Ten years ago, when the national treasury could not provide food and wages, the Duke of Zhen could not see that his soldiers were hungry, so he first provided them with food, and then he continued to provide food for them, and he is still providing food for them now. Du Qian was speechless as he spoke.

Du Wan said strangely: "He seems to have said that it is not just his family that has this net worth."

Du Qian looked at his sister in the same strange way, "The Duke of Zhenguo had a good start, and most of the people who later took charge of the army did this. Nanyang Bo and Dingbei Hou were one of them."

Du Wan didn't expect this to happen. The Qin Kingdom is quite strange.

Du Qian folded the list and put it away, "A military attache doesn't have much money, and his wealth is not as good as that of a civil servant. Old man Zhou is relatively small, with only a million taels. The former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is involved, and this one is the big fat sheep." The emperors uncle asked us to focus on it.
