My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

The imperial court cannot do without money to station troops and fight wars, and an individual cannot do without money to build his own private army.

Military rations, armor, weapons, wages... everything costs money. Without money, you can't even support a private soldier.

Prince Li had his own fiefdom and fixed taxes, but he was under the emperor's surveillance and could not show his feet in the flow of money.

So, he traveled around and made friends with heroes. On the surface, he appears to be indifferent to fame and wealth, and does not stick to trivial matters, but in fact, he uses making friends as a guise to expand his connections and influence.

Because King Lijun was born a nobleman and had extraordinary bearing, he was favored by many folk women. In order to gain power and affluence, powerful people among the people went to the next level, giving away daughters as gifts and concubines as gifts to establish a marriage relationship or create a good story.

Those shady activities were carried out under the cover of this colorful romance, and the private soldiers of the Gao family were just one of them.

However, funding from local powerful people alone was not enough. Prince Li turned his attention to disaster relief banks in various places.

In the past ten years, natural disasters have continued throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, including droughts, floods, locusts crossing the border, etc. Every time the court provided disaster relief, he personally planned and successfully robbed the relief silver many times. Over the years, he accumulated up to one million yuan.

These are life-saving money for the people affected by the disaster!

Nowadays, the hinterland of the Central Plains has encountered a highly destructive earth dragon, and then suffered flood disasters. Many river dams burst, causing countless casualties. It is the disaster relief grain distributed by the imperial court that must have been on the way. If the Lijun Prince The forces cultivated secretly robbed...

Thinking of this, Qin Junyi immediately wrote a secret letter and summoned Qingxuan to entrust him with the secret letter and key letters: "You personally take people to the capital as quickly as possible. You are likely to encounter obstacles along the way. We are being chased heavily, so be careful.”

Qingxuan didn't want to leave: "Your safety is more important, and my subordinates want to send someone there."

Qin Junyi said: "This matter concerns tens of millions of people in Li, and I don't feel comfortable handing it over to others."

"Then let me go." A female voice as clear and ethereal as trickling spring water came from the back room.

Qin Junyi walked towards the back room: "Wan Wan, you woke up so soon?"

Su Yunwan responded, got up from bed, dressed neatly, and walked out of the back room.

"Good morning, madam." Qingxuan bowed and saluted.

"No gift." Su Yunwan looked at the letter divided into two parts on the table and asked, "Who do you want to send the letter to? I'll make a trip."

Qin Junyi asked worriedly: "Wanwan, will you consume too much?"

"No, I can just go to the capital to replenish some supplies. Along the way, I found that the goods in the capital are the richest in variety and of high quality." Su Yunwan said.

"Then I still want to go with you."

"As long as you feel comfortable staying here, I have no problem with it."

It can be seen from last night that if he is there, there will be more help, so why not do it.

With him assisting her, she no longer had to distract people and move supplies as quickly as possible like she did when she robbed the palace.

Qin Junyi immediately made arrangements: "Qingxuan, please let Ling Qi stand in for a while, and I will come back as soon as possible."

Qingxuan didn't know that Su Yunwan had the ability to teleport, so he immediately lowered his head and objected: "Master, please don't put yourself in danger. Just follow the orders of your humble duty."

Qin Junyi made the final decision: "No need, I'll go with Wanwan."

Qingxuan raised his head and glanced at Su Yunwan with deep eyes, feeling extremely complicated inside.

After breakfast, Qin Junyi went to the front yard and summoned Ling Qi.

Looking at the man who was kneeling down to salute respectfully as usual, Qin Junyi's sharp sword-like eyes rested on him. After a few breaths, he said: "Get up."

Lingqi stared at the extremely oppressive gaze, with cold sweat already running down his back. After hearing the words, he stood up with his head bowed, holding his breath and waiting quietly.

"Last time you were seriously injured on a mission. Even if you were really inappropriate, I will not take the blame. I hope you will stick to your job from now on and don't step on it knowing that it is a dead end."

After the last assassination incident, Qin Junyi had full suspicions about Ling Qi, but he still interrogated Qin Mu and Wu Shaohan respectively, learned all the performance of Ling Qi during his period as a substitute, and thus got a definite answer.

But he had personally promised Su Yunwan to let Ling Qi go, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it.

If he dares to make the same mistake again in the future, he will never let it go!

Since the beginning of [-], I have been living in fear and trembling every day, fearing that my head will be missing in the next moment.

Now that he had received his master's permission, he felt guilty and grateful. He raised his knees to the ground and saluted: "Thank you, master, for your forgiveness. I will keep it in mind and never dare to do it."

Qin Junyi then told him about his departure and ordered him to do a good job as a substitute.

At the same time, the Gao family in the city was in chaos.

After the head of the Gao family regained consciousness, he immediately ordered the sale of his property as quickly as possible and prepared to escape.

The deputy lieutenant who had lost his rations waited for the city gate to open and went to the government with his own soldiers to ask for rations.

The county magistrate Master Sun learned from him that the military camp was stolen last night, but he resisted the pressure and did not allocate food to him on the pretext of rescuing the people. He also diverted the trouble to the east and asked him to go to the Gao family to ask for it.

Of course, the deputy lieutenant would not obey easily. With just a look, the dozen or so soldiers accompanying him drew their swords and faced each other.

However, Mr. Sun was not in a hurry, "If you are serious, I can guarantee that the Gao family's raising of private soldiers will no longer be hidden. It is hard to say who will be involved."

"How dare you!" As a grasshopper on the same rope, the deputy lieutenant immediately put the knife to Master Sun's neck and roared.

Mr. Sun's face turned pale, but he still insisted: "I value peace, so I have concealed it for you and others for many years. Now that you and others are avenging their private revenge, the Gao family will naturally be responsible for the food and grass they need."

He was a sesame official, and if he faced off against that force, it would be like mantis trying to use his arms as a chariot, so he endured it for many years and only acted within the scope of his abilities.

However, asking him to feed thousands of officers and soldiers with the disaster relief food he had finally raised exceeded his bottom line as a human being, so he would rather die than surrender.

"Very good, just wait for me!" The lieutenant put away his sword and left angrily with his soldiers.

Not long after, they appeared at the Gao family's mansion and forced the head of the Gao family to pay for food.

However, the Gao family had just been robbed last night, so how could they immediately come up with the money and food that Deputy Lieutenant Shizi had asked for?

The head of the Gao family, Dao Ming, asked the deputy lieutenant to wait because he had left the warehouse yesterday. He had already sent someone to collect grain from the village.

However, what he didn't know was that the Gao family was already in decline. When the third steward who went to collect grain saw something was wrong, he took the collected grain and his family out of the city and fled. His eldest son, who was holding the money for bridge repair, The steward responsible for repairing the bridge.

As soon as the minor official affairs disappeared, many people who were hired to repair the bridge lost their leader, and they flocked to Gao's house to ask about the situation. There was a lot of noise outside the house.

The chief steward hurried to the upper hall and reported the disappearance of the bridge repairman to the head of the Gao family who had been sitting with him for a long time.

When the deputy lieutenant heard this, he stood up and strode towards the door of the mansion.

On the way, he bumped into some servants holding rare porcelain. His eyebrows jumped and he asked: "What are you going to do?"
