Seeing that the emperor's eyes were bright, Su Fengyi continued to lay the groundwork and said with a smug smile:

"It's even more exciting! I arrested the person, but someone else dared to come to my house to kill and silence him, and I chopped him to death."

The emperor was almost crying with envy. It was such a fun thing, and it was not even as exciting as what was shown in the picture book. Why didn't he take him to play?

After thinking it over, he felt that being an emperor was really boring. He was locked up in the palace every day and never encountered any interesting things. It was really boring. The life of his imperial sister outside the palace was not as interesting as that of his imperial sister.

The emperor could not help but complain:

"How many people are here? How can you chop them down so quickly? Why don't you send someone to tell me so I can chop someone down for fun?"

Su Fengyi sighed:

"I swear to God, I really was thinking about the Emperor, but the leader died and the others dispersed too quickly. It was too late. Okay, okay, don't look at me like that. I will definitely take you with me next time."

There would never be such a good thing again. The emperor felt regretful. Such a rare and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity happened right under his nose, but he missed it.

However, he also sorted out the whole story and asked:

"So, my sister didn't go to rob a prisoner, someone else did, and you went to help? Where are the people they captured, and where is Shen Hongxian? Where were you imprisoned?"

Su Fengyi looked at the emperor in disbelief and became angry:

"What does the emperor mean by this? I go to rob the prisoners? Why?

I am not bored and have nothing to do. Who made up this rumor? It is so bad. Am I such a stupid person? !

The person is in my house. Your Majesty, please find someone to interrogate him yourself. Don't ask Xie Xuan to interrogate him for you. He is busy.

Really, I helped but made a mistake. Don’t count on me to help you next time. It’s really infuriating.”

Seeing his sister's big reaction, the emperor was certain that the East Depot had done something wrong again.

Why is it that the news is always only half-revealed? Is Qiao Gui really incompetent? It's really worrying.

The emperor sighed:

"Okay, don't be angry. I'll send someone to ask for it. Don't worry about what happens next."

Su Fengyi became more and more angry as she spoke:

"Why should we just ignore it? In the picture book, the kidnappers get ransom after capturing people. I worked so hard to capture the person, but the emperor just let him be taken away so easily without giving me any benefits. That won't do!

If you want someone, you need money to redeem him.

If I don't pay you, why should I hand you over?"

The emperor couldn't stand the anger of the emperor's sister, so he coaxed her:

"Okay, okay, how much silver? Since it was the East Factory that messed up the job, I'll let Qiao Gui compensate you."

Su Fengyi was happy then:

"I see that General Shen is so big and has a good-looking face, so he must be worth a lot if he is sold by pound. Let's give him one million taels at a discount.

Just compensate me with one million taels of silver, and I will give you the money and the person at the same time.

Those thieves who robbed the prisoners were also given to the emperor as a gift."

The emperor was at a loss whether to laugh or cry:

"I don't even have one million taels in my private treasury, where can Qiao Gui find one million taels for you? Imperial sister, please don't bully Qiao Gui for being honest.

Besides, I mentioned Shen Hong and wanted to kill him first, and then I asked you to redeem him with silver. I lost both my life and my money, what do I want?"

How could Qiao Gui not have one million taels?

In the whole world, only the emperor dares to believe this. Su Fengyi doesn't believe it. In the original book, the male protagonist's family is confiscated in the end, and the one with the most wealth is Qiao Gui.

It is not the right time yet. I must find an opportunity in the future to let the emperor see Qiao Gui’s enormous wealth with his own eyes and broaden his horizons.

Su Fengyi pretended to think about it and said:

"That's right, that's the truth. If I don't get the silver, I'll suffer. If I get the silver, the emperor will suffer. I won't let me suffer. It's not appropriate to let the emperor suffer.

No, no, since ancient times, kidnappers have been making a profit by robbing people for ransom. Why do we have to turn this profit-free business into a loss-making one?

I have an idea. Let's sell the head to the Shen family and let the Shen family pay the ransom.

One million taels, the Shen family will quietly pay, and we will secretly divide it, and no one will know. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Wealth and honor are dazzling, and even the emperor is no exception.

The emperor laughed at first at this astonishing figure of one million, and wanted to say it was ridiculous. But as the one million passed through his heart, and rolled back and forth, the word ridiculous disappeared.

The emperor hesitated.

After hesitating for a few seconds, the emperor said:

"No, Shen Hongxian, he cursed me and colluded with the Northern Tartars. He must die."

Su Fengyi looked at the emperor strangely:

“If he really scolds you, he really deserves to be killed.

But who told the emperor this? Did the emperor hear him scold you? Did the person who told you this hear him scold you?

Since I didn't hear it with my own ears, could it be that I was mistaken?

Besides, he is already a general, he has everything he wants. In that wild and barbaric land of the Northern Tartars, there is not even good food. What can be given to him?

Doesn't Your Majesty find it strange that he would abandon Damu and join the Northern Tartars?

One million, such a huge amount of money, do you want to figure it out?

Why doesn't Your Majesty give him a chance to argue?

Didn't the Emperor always complain that the Leopard House was too small and wanted to expand it but didn't have the money to do it?"

The emperor hesitated again after hearing Su Fengyi's words.

One million taels, what a huge sum of money! I can't even dream of having so much money.

It was not until he became emperor that he realized that the emperor could not touch the national treasury. The Ministry of Revenue said that there was no money and would not give him any money even if he was beaten to death or beheaded.

The royal private treasury accumulated by his grandfather was spent on disaster relief on many occasions by his father, who was regarded as the wisest ruler in history by his court officials.

So the emperor was very short of money. When he ascended the throne, he was so short of money that he didn't even have money to repair the palace.

If it weren't for Qiao Gui helping him to search for silver everywhere, he wouldn't even have the Leopard House to play in now.

The imperial sister is right. What about the one million taels? Could it be that the East Depot did not do its job well and made a mistake?

He didn't think so before, but today he discovered that the East Factory made mistakes one after another, which means that this is not impossible, and it is not impossible to investigate further.

But he still hesitated:

“I didn’t hear him scolding me personally, but the memorial was written by his student, so it can’t be wrong.

As for the matter of colluding with the Northern Tartars, what you said makes sense, but there is physical evidence, which is also conclusive evidence. Well, okay, okay, for the sake of money, I will have someone re-examine it.

But, the Shen family is so rich? How can they have so much money? "

When Su Fengyi heard the emperor ask this, she knew in her heart that General Shen's life was saved.

Anyone who owes the emperor one million taels and fails to pay back the money will not die, even if the King of Hell comes.

Su Fengyi smiled from the bottom of her heart:

"Why is your Majesty worrying about this? The Shen family should worry about this matter themselves.

The emperor gave me an order, and I went back home to tell Shen Hongxian and asked him to find a way to raise the money.

The person is in our hands, so we are not afraid that he will not pay us.

Even if I cannot pay it back right now, my descendants will be able to pay it back in due time."

The emperor enjoyed the cake worth one million taels of silver and answered cheerfully, "Okay, I'll ask Qiao Gui to write one for you later."
