Chapter 205: Fifth sister, do you want to make a bet?
"The purpose of a dam is to prevent disasters before they happen, rather than wait until there is a heavy rain and floods before building one."
Seeing that everyone's attention has suddenly shifted from Tang Bingfu's corruption and the seizure of his property to the cost of repairing the dike, it would be better to share this outrageous topic with everyone.
Yun Shu quickly gave guidance:
"It's a good thing that the dike is useless, after all, it means that the capital city will not be damaged by floods.
But it must exist, because once it is used, it can save the lives of thousands of people, including those present here!"
"...That's true."
The man who had previously offered to give a share of the money thought about it and was convinced:
"Even if we never see it come in handy in this lifetime, it would be good if it can save our descendants!"
"Hahahaha, that's enough! Your Majesty and those officials in the court aren't smarter than us?
Since they all think that a dam should be built, it means that it will definitely be useful.
What are we yelling about here? "
"I'm not asking for money, I'm asking for that corrupt official surnamed Tang to die, is that ok?"
After a lot of twists and turns, the topic finally returned to the corrupt official Tang Bingfu himself.
But this time, when the people mentioned him again, their words were obviously more indignant after their own interests were violated:
"Damn it! If I had known that I should have picked up a few more rotten vegetable leaves that even chickens and ducks wouldn't eat when I passed by Caishikou just now!"
"It's okay, I have saliva! I can just spit it out!"
Yun Shu: “…”
"Fifth sister, why don't we go in!"
Yun Chuhuan couldn't sit still after hearing this:
"If this happens to hurt us by mistake, I will be so sick that I won't be able to eat!"
"Row."
Yun Shu highly agreed with his words this time.
The two men handed the horses to the guards beside them and walked into the Tang Mansion.
Without the protection of the courtyard wall, the panicked cries from inside became clearer.
When Yun Shu followed the sound and walked into the inner courtyard, he saw a particularly fierce little fat boy kicking the guards like crazy:
"Get out! All of you get out! This is my home! Who allowed you to come in? I'll have my grandfather kill you all later!"
Perhaps because he was only about three or four years old, the guards under Ye Yunhu were too lazy to be cruel to such a little kid.
Unexpectedly, after this guy felt there was no threat, he broke free from his mother's arms and started to act tough!
You can tell from her appearance that she must be a spoiled child at home.
At such a young age, he always said to kill them all.
It's really... hard to sympathize with.
"Does he look like your old self?"
Yun Shu sighed:
"Last year, when you first came to my place for a meal, you tripped while trying to catch a chicken, and you started clamoring to kill everyone in my palace."
"……no?"
Yun Chuhuan looked at the little fat boy in front of him who was acting arrogantly and deserved a beating, and refused to admit that he had been so annoying in the past:
"I'm much more likable than him!"
"Ah."
Yun Shu did not refute, but just gave him a cold smile and let him figure it out on his own.
"...Did you guys not see it or what?"
Yun Chuhuan, who also refused to comprehend this, was silent for a moment, and decisively shifted his gaze to the guards walking nearby:
"Is there no one to take care of that little bastard?"
"Your Highness, forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, the guards who were busy rummaging through boxes and cabinets picked up the tantrum with one hand, threw it back into his mother's arms, and threatened harshly:
"If you don't trust this kid and let him offend the two princes, I will ask him to go downstairs and wait for you in advance today!"
"General, please spare me! The child is still young and ignorant... General, please spare me!" The young mother was really scared. She quickly raised her hand to cover the child's roaring mouth, while trying to hold back her sobs and comfort the child:
"Stop making trouble, no one can save you if you continue to make trouble!"
"No no no!"
The little fat boy had his mouth covered, and no matter how hard he struggled, he was held down and made no more noise.
Yun Chuhuan stared at it for a few seconds, then turned his head away with an unhappy look on his face:
"Now you know how to cry."
"My house has been confiscated. How can I not cry?"
I was so cruel that I didn't look at the crying Tang family members.
After opening the boxes that had been carried out of the yard and checking them one by one, Yun Shu couldn't help but frowned:
"Can the total amount of silver here be two hundred taels?"
"Maybe it's just like what Commander Ye said, he hid the silver a long time ago!"
Yun Chuhuan said, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Fifth sister, why don't we compete to see who can find the hidden silver first?
If I win, Fifth Sister, you have to give me 10,000 taels of silver!"
"What if I win?"
Yunshu was not interested:
"You don't seem to have ten thousand taels to give me?"
"I don't have any cash, but I still have a bunch of treasures that I can't sell!"
Yun Chuhuan said with great wealth:
"Fifth sister, feel free to pick whatever you like from the things in Yaohua Palace!"
"Do you think your fifth sister is stupid?"
You can pick whatever you want from Yaohua Palace.
He is so capable, why didn't he say this when he was fined by his father?
Yun Shu snorted softly:
"If you want to find the hidden silver, you can look for it, but no one will gamble with you."
"mean!"
The idea of winning 10,000 taels from Yun Shu to "repay the debt" was shattered before it even began. Yun Chuhuan turned around and walked away muttering:
"Then I want to compete with you too. I can definitely find things faster than you!"
Get rid of her?
Yun Shu raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, but he did not object, but walked slowly to the other side:
"I read in storybooks before that these high-ranking officials all seemed to like to make some kind of secret compartment in their study or under the bed, and hide some items that could not be seen in public.
Have you looked through the study carefully just now?"
"It's almost done."
Ye Yunhu put one hand on the hilt of the sword and turned his head with some curiosity:
"Your Highness, what does the book say? I haven't even seen the mechanism yet!"
"never seen it?"
This time it was Yun Shu's turn to be surprised:
"Never seen it once? Secret rooms and hidden compartments don't exist?"
“It’s not that it doesn’t exist.”
Ye Yunhu shook his head:
"It's just too troublesome to find the mechanism. Usually we just knock on it with our hands. If we find a place that might be empty, and there's something hidden behind it, we just smash it through!"
The house has been confiscated, why bother with such elaborate procedures?
