wealthy lord

Chapter 766: Meng’s Mansion is ransacked, people are unpredictable

When coaxing a woman, you don't need to worry about whether you can do it or not, just have a clear attitude.

In fact, women know it better than anyone else.

Lin Wuyue said: "I have never been involved in my husband's affairs outside. But I just didn't ask in the past, but I don't really understand! Now that my husband has become the regent, he has reached the peak of power. Are you planning to become emperor next?"

Lin Yun looked surprised. He didn't expect that the good old lady who worked hard and never complained would actually say such a thing.

He smiled helplessly: "Wuyue, what exactly do you want to ask?"

"First of all, sir, do you have any plans to become emperor?"

Lin Yun's eyes gradually became serious, and finally he nodded: "Yes! But not now! My husband will never put himself in danger!"

He knows very well that it is easy for him to wear a yellow robe now, which is just a matter of words, but the consequences are not something he can bear now.

Therefore, you must wait patiently, and it can be said that good things come in many ways.

At this time, Lin Wuyue continued: "Then if my husband really becomes the emperor in the future, what will my concubine be?"

Without thinking, Lin Yun hugged her and kissed her.

"Of course she is the Queen of Mu Yi Tianxia! What? Are you still unwilling?"

Lin Wuyue's eyes showed a trace of disappointment: "If I can't give birth to children for my husband, how can I be a queen? It's better to abdicate the throne and make way for someone worthy of my honour!"

Lin Yun frowned, secretly sighing that this girl had thought so far ahead.

She had never considered this issue, but she began to think about it.

If someone else asked him such a question, Lin Yun would definitely get angry and even punish him severely.

But Lin Yuesi had his favorite eldest wife, and he was recovering from a serious illness. Lin Yun couldn't bear to say harsh words, so he could only coax her for the time being.

Lin Yun smiled, raised his hand to help her tidy up the broken hair behind her ears, and said: "Okay, madam, don't be discouraged! I will go see Lu Mingyuan later and let him find a way to cure you." If he can't cure the disease, my husband will not only kill him, but he will also be buried with his three clans!"

Maybe Lin Yun himself didn't realize that his style of doing things was becoming more and more like the emperor of a country.

Otherwise, he would not have said the cruel words of destroying three other clans for the sake of his eldest wife.

Lin Wuyue slowly shook his head and grabbed Lin Yun's hand.

"Can my husband promise me something..."

Lin Yun looked at her blankly and said, "Say it!"

"If my illness cannot be cured, then my husband will let Wanqing be the queen!"

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows, faintly hearing the hidden meaning behind his words.

He probed: "Does the eldest lady have any objections to Oona and Li Qingyue?"

"No, Oona is from the Panda tribe after all and is not suitable to be a queen. As for Li Qingyue, she is from the Li family..."

Lin Yun couldn't hold it any longer, stood up suddenly, and said expressionlessly: "Okay! Madam, please take good care of your health! Don't mention these things again! Besides, I will find a way to treat you!" Do not think too much!"

After that, he walked away.

He was very unhappy in his heart. Even the eldest lady, who had never fought or robbed her, had become no longer simple and had all kinds of little thoughts. What about the other ladies?

Fame and wealth are always the best touchstone to test human nature.

Lin Yun did not want this family to be polluted by fame and fortune. It seemed that if there was a chance, he would teach these ladies a lesson alone.

He understood without asking that Lin Wuyue chose Ye Wanqing because the two women had the best relationship.

It was just that she usually hid it too well, but this time something like this happened, which made Lin Wuyue reveal her true feelings. Here, Lin Yun walked out of the palace, stretched hard, and was about to go to the study room when Zheng Li and Ma Ji walked towards him.

"Fourteenth Master..."

"My lord..."

Both of them bowed.

But Lin Yun could see that Zheng Li's eyes were clear and his attitude towards him had not changed. On the contrary, Ma Ji's eyes had changed. In addition to the awe he had before, there was now a hint of flattery.

"Well, you're back? How did you go about what I told you yesterday?"

Ma Ji smiled flatteringly, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty gave the order, so of course I will go all out! I have successfully put Meng Yuan on death row and ransacked Meng Yuan's home along the way!"

As he said that, he looked back at the Moon Gate and shouted: "Bring the things here and show them to the prince!"

Seven or eight guards laboriously carried in four iron treasure boxes and placed them on the ground with a few muffled sounds.

On the side, Zheng Li saw Lin Yun's serious face, and he glanced at Ma Ji subconsciously.

Inwardly, he sighed that Ma Ji's flattery had hit the horse's hooves this time.

He has been with Lin Yun for the longest time and has been involved in many things during this period, so he knows very well what kind of temper Lin Yun is.

Sure enough, Lin Yun opened a treasure box and saw neatly arranged gold bars inside, so he picked up one and weighed it in his hand.

Yin and Yang said angrily: "These were all found in Meng Yuan's home?"

"That's right! These are just gold and silver. Meng Yuan also has a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings in his home, all of which are priceless. My lord, this old man usually pretends to be a wise minister, but he didn't expect that he is also a corrupt official!" As he said that, he took some money from his arms. He took out an account book and continued: "Please ask the prince to take a look at it!"

Lin Yun took the account book and flipped it absentmindedly. When he saw the final amount, he said: "In thirteen years, we only embezzled 43 million taels of silver, which is not too much! The Daduan Dynasty's tax revenue for one year is not too much." Only more than sixty million taels of silver!"

Then, he changed the topic and suddenly said: "Did Mr. Ma not line his own pockets?"

Ma Ji suddenly became excited and quickly knelt on the ground.

"I don't dare! I am dedicated to working for the prince, how dare I do such a stupid thing? Please give me a warning from the prince!"

Lin Yun smiled jokingly: "It doesn't matter if you enrich your own pockets! Since you are following me, how can I treat you badly?"

Ma Ji smiled awkwardly and looked up at Lin Yun, as if he wanted to know if Lin Yun was speaking from his heart.

But Lin Yun was also observing him to see if he could deceive anything with his words.

"Your Majesty is joking! Although my subordinates love money, they also get it in a wise way!"

He could vaguely feel that because of Lin Zixiang's betrayal, Lin Yun had lost trust in old people like them.

Lin Yun threw the account book to him, turned around and walked towards the study.

"Transfer these stolen funds directly to the Ministry of Accounts and let Fulin'an fill the national treasury!"

He is indeed short of money now. Even if he embezzles more than 40 million taels of silver, no one will say anything.

But Lin Yun would not do such a stupid thing. Now the Li family is in his hands, and filling the national treasury can not only show his incorruptible side to the outside world, but also pave the way for the next military reform.

Otherwise, the national treasury will be empty and there will be no money, and it will be difficult to implement Lin Yun's military reform policy.

"Subordinate to obey!"

Ma Ji watched him leave and breathed a secret sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his back was already wet with cold sweat.
