"It's in the middle of the night, and no one is looking for it. What can you do? Did you have another new love outside, and the flowers at home are no longer fragrant?"

Mrs. Shangshu's face darkened, and her shyness disappeared immediately. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Sun Youcai's ear to question.

It is common for men of this age to steal food, and she often hears complaints when drinking tea with other official wives.However, she has always been a skilled husband, and has always paid special attention to Sun Youcai's whereabouts.

According to the report from the guard at the gate, Sun Youcai did occasionally leave early and return late. She once tried to follow up with her, but there was nothing unusual, it was just an ordinary official entertainment.

Maybe it's the filth hidden in the restaurant?After all, it is not an example of not bringing a woman from the Land of Fireworks into the side room for entertainment...

"My dear lady, where are you thinking? How dare I, I haven't been manipulated by you for so many years."

Sun Youcai laughed along with him, and coaxed his tigress back to rest after coaxing him for a long time.

The pigeon was still obediently waiting on the table. While waiting, it took a few sips of Sun Youcai's wine glass, and it was standing staggeringly at the moment.

"You can't fall..."

Sun Youcai quickly fished the pigeon back from the edge of the stone table, and carefully removed the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg.

The letter was written by the people above. After Liao Yu fell from the horse, the money he could supply was obviously not as good as before.After all, to support so many forces, real money is indispensable.The request of the letter is that Sun Youcai must restore the turnover of money as soon as possible, and raise a large amount of food by the way.

After reading the letter, Sun Youcai instantly lost the mood to drink a little wine. Although it was safe to hide it from the Holy Majesty, there is still a master behind this.It's a pity that I have already boarded the thief's ship, and I have no way to get out, so I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman.

But the assigned tasks were light and easy, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth, but Sun Youcai made it difficult to complete the tasks.

The situation in the court has been relatively stable recently. Apart from the fixed military rations and military salaries, if you want to allocate silver taels of food, you can only do so during special periods like disaster relief.But the harvests in various places are pretty good, and it seems that there are no natural disasters...

Sun Youcai took a sip of wine depressedly, his head was running at high speed, and soon he thought of a solution.

When it comes to food and silver, the richest place is undoubtedly the treasury!The most important thing is that the treasury is basically not open, and few people come in and out.Except for opening and putting in new tributes every year when worshiping in various places, almost all of them are in a sealed state.

In other words, even if some of the things inside are missing, as long as the number is not huge, it will basically not be noticed.The household department itself is in charge of money, and he is often responsible for the registration of tributes.

This is completely a natural advantage!Sun Youcai hit the palm of his hand, his eyes sparkled.

The next day, after going down to court, he strolled to the gate of the treasury. The imperial guards were guarding the gate of the treasury. When he saw the reflective blade from a distance, Sun Youcai's heart still trembled.

"Master Shangshu, why are you free to come here today? But what is the order from the Holy Spirit?"

For the imperial guards, Sun Youcai was an old acquaintance. He presided over the carrying in and out of tribute every year, and except for the time of offering, this old acquaintance seldom visited the treasury.

"Little brothers, it's hard work. Isn't it true that the palace has not rewarded the ladies in the palace recently? I'm here to check the inventory and update the items recorded in the register."

Sun Youcai cupped his hands lightly, and the lie seemed to be decent, but in fact, a thin layer of sweat was already dripping from his palms under his sleeves, he was betting on his usual image.

The imperial guards did not suspect that Sun Youcai's status as the Minister of the Household Department was there, and it was true that the emperor in the palace appreciated the empress, so it was reasonable to check the warehouse.

"That's a hard work, Master Shangshu."

Sun Youcai nodded his head pretending to be calm, and calmly entered the treasury gate.He looked at the antique calligraphy, paintings and jewelry displayed in the room, his eyes sparkled with brilliance.

He knew that this time he must seize the opportunity!
His eyes slowly passed over each wooden cabinet, and finally stopped on a set of gem heads.According to the rules, a body search is required when leaving the treasury. Although I can sneak in, it is not easy to take things out.

Large and expensive antique calligraphy and paintings can basically be excluded directly. On the contrary, it is the jewelry of the daughter's family.

As long as it can be taken out of the palace, it can be easily sold for a good price whether it is a pawn shop or the black market.

The most important thing is that in case something happens to Dongchuang, he can still ask someone to help him cover himself. After all, the Holy Majesty bestows so many things to the concubine every year, it is impossible for everyone to remember everything clearly.

After making up his mind, Sun Youcai began to stuff some earrings, necklaces and other objects into the boots. After repeatedly adjusting the shape and feel, he walked out of the room slowly.

"Master Shangshu, according to the usual practice, you are affected."

As soon as the imperial guards saw Sun Youcai coming out, they immediately glanced up, down, left, and right. Although they were all acquaintances, they still had to go through the process that should be followed.In case the national treasury is missing something, the emperor is angry, and the ones who will be held accountable are the gatekeepers himself.

Sun Youcai opened his arms cooperatively, allowing the imperial guards to grope around in his sleeves, chest, and waist. He looked open, but in the next second one of the imperial guards pinched his boots.

"Little brother, stay far away, the weather is stuffy, my foot..."

Sun Youcai didn't hide, he just gave verbal hints, usually the body search would not find the shoe part, why did it suddenly become stricter today... If he continues to be touched like that, he must be caught on the spot.

"Okay, I really want to smell my feet, I'm sorry, this is our newly transferred brother, if I offend you, I hope you will forgive me, Master Shangshu, go slowly!"

The imperial guards had already searched the parts of the body, and lifted up the squatting newcomer with a raised hand, grinning to accompany him.

Sun Youcai waved his hand, looking like an adult with a big face, but inside he was grinning so much that his mouth reached to the ears.This trick is feasible, and with the money, he can give an explanation to the people above for the time being.

Out of caution, he still sent a letter from home to give Sun Jieyu a vaccination. In case the treasury lacked some jewelry, she was asked to fight it out first.

Sun Jieyu, who was taking a nap in the palace, woke up and saw the pigeons jumping by the window, and she was three minutes awake.

The arrival of pigeons can only mean that his ambitious father has come to ask for something again...
