of the exam questions personally set by the Crown Prince, or the subsequent incident involving Hou Yushū, this imperial examination was destined to become a hot topic of conversation among people duri...Chapter 585 Seven Million

"At your command."

Seeing Li Yinhu's exuberant and impatient appearance, Xu Wei immediately swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

As an envoy from the East Palace, Xu Wei certainly knew that the Liu family was no ordinary one.

Once upon a time, the four major merchants of the capital city were targeted by the prince himself. In one night, three families perished, with hundreds of lives lost without a trace, leaving only the Liu family, headed by a woman, standing.

And Liu Jia not only did not follow in the footsteps of those three families, but also took over part of the salt transportation business. Now he is doing better and better.

Any discerning person could easily guess that the Liu family and the Eastern Palace have a special relationship.

This point, many ordinary people in the capital knew it, Xu Wei knew it, but only King Zhao Li Yinhu didn't know.

At this moment, it's unclear what came over Li Yinhu, wanting to take people to Liu's house. It was obviously not a good thing, but Xu Wei didn't need to stop him.

His only task was to get close to Li Yinhǔ and become his absolute confidante, so he couldn't disobey any of Li Yinhǔ's orders.

Also, Xu Wei understood that the East Factory must have informants in the Liu family, so the Liu family wouldn't be harmed.

Soon, the manpower was assembled. Looking at dozens of guards filling the courtyard, Li Yinhou was very satisfied.

He waved his hand with vigor, radiating an air of confidence and determination. He roared, "All of you, follow me! We shall eradicate the remnants of the White Lotus Sect within the capital!"

At this time, the Liu family's house was brightly lit.

Liu Sicun hasn't slept yet.

She was with Liu Sidar and some elders of the Liu family, counting the silver being put into storage.

"Si Chun, our Liu family has sold all the assets we could sell. All the silver from the branches across the country, except what's needed for operating expenses, has been transported here."

"A total of seven million, three hundred and five thousand, six hundred and ninety-one taels."

An elder brought the ledger to Liu Sichun, saying with a touch of heartache: "Now everyone is saying we've gone mad, selling all our laying hens and waiting for us to be laughed at."

"Liu Sida, standing beside, smiled and said, 'Let them laugh if they want to. In a year at most, it will be anyone's guess who'll be laughing then.'"

The elder sighed and said, “I know what you’re saying, but this time, the stakes are too high. The entire family's fortune and lives are on the line.”

All eyes turned towards the warehouse.

Only boxes piled from the floor to the ceiling, densely packed throughout most of the warehouse, could be seen.

And as he casually opened a chest, it was filled with plump, round silver ingots, each weighing twenty taels.

Over seven million taels of silver, at a tenth off, would weigh over 730,000 jin!

Even if it were over 700,000 pounds of stones, they would be impressive enough to behold, let alone all these being pure silver.

Both generations of the Liu family have poured their heart and soul into this over decades.

To describe it with the idiom "silver mountain" would be an understatement.

Anyone who sees such a silver mountain would gasp in awe and have their heart racing.

Liu Sichun's gaze, however, was very calm. While she counted the silver being stored, ensuring that the records and the physical objects matched perfectly, she said: "This silver will only stay in our warehouse for one night."

"I have already contacted Xu Changqing, the official from the Household Department. He will send someone tomorrow morning to transfer these silver into the national treasury. Therefore, everyone should not rest tonight and take turns keeping watch here."tonishing abilities and talents.
