Shen Nanzhi sighed in her heart, look at how good Princess Anguo is at making money, 50% interest, how dare she say that.

It is true that businessmen make money by doing business, but a 20% profit is already very good. Yet she dares to ask for 50%. Who else could she be cheating?

Shen Nanzhi had been sending people to keep an eye on Princess Anguo because he was afraid that this woman was mentally twisted and would send someone to kill him, so he had to be on guard.

As they watched closely, they discovered a group of professional scammers. They were so bold that they actually cheated Princess Anguo out of 100,000 taels of silver.

If the Imperial City Bureau had not intervened, they would have changed their identities and fled to another place to live a happy life.

The tea merchant handed over 100,000 taels of silver, thinking that the matter would be over, but Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "I said I want all your property, just give me this one. Isn't it hard for so many people from my Imperial City Division to catch you?

He is really dishonest. Who will keep an eye on him? Find out all his ancestors. I don’t believe he has no family. Catch all his parents, wife and children. See if he is honest or not. "

Captain Zhu said, "Let me investigate. Don't worry, I will investigate him thoroughly."

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

The tea merchants were dumbfounded. Was it really that serious for the Imperial City Bureau? They were targeting them. Wasn't it just to cheat them out of some money? Didn't they have nothing else to do?

Shen Nanzhi kindly explained to him: "You don't understand? It's so hard to make money these days. The Imperial City Bureau doesn't have any surplus food. Brothers work hard, arrest criminals, and risk their lives, isn't it just for a little money?

You see, it's so easy for you to make money. Just by talking, you can get 100,000 taels. It's really enviable."

Captain Zhu said, "I think they must have at least a million taels of silver. The Regent is going to war this time and he needs silver the most. This is a good opportunity to help the Regent relieve his worries."

"That's right. So, are you going to take it out on your own initiative, or do you have to let me force you to take it?"

"I'll take it, I'll give it to you, just please don't kill me, okay?"

"Why would I kill you? You are a talented person, and I still have great use for you. Don't worry, I only want money, not your life."

Shen Nanzhi's eyes lit up, and he tapped the table with his fingers, looking thoughtful. Captain Zhu looked excited. The deputy chief always had this kind of look in his eyes every time he did something. It seemed like he was going to make a fortune again.

The tea merchant handed over one million taels of silver, Shen Nanzhi left 200,000 taels to the Imperial City Bureau, and the rest went into the regent's private treasury.

Give it all to the national treasury? How is that possible?

She handed over all the treasures of Ruyi Gate to the national treasury, which was already very good. Do you still expect me to be selfless all the time?

Qi Yunxu is not the emperor. He has responsibilities in this world, but they also have their own small family. Sacrificing the small family for the sake of everyone? She does not have such a high spirit of dedication.

Besides, it's not impossible to sacrifice one's own family, but why should one sacrifice one's own family? There are so many noble families in the capital, why can't one sacrifice theirs?

Shen Nanzhi asked his men to treat the tea merchants well and let them rest for two days, and then go and deceive those noble families, setting up a shocking scam and plundering the property of these big families.

We can't let Princess Anguo lose money alone, everyone should lose money together, so that everyone can feel balanced psychologically.

Princess Anguo certainly didn't dare to report to the authorities, so she had to swallow this loss in silence.

The tea merchant is also a talented person. Once he changes his clothes, he becomes like a different person. Unless you are very familiar with him, no one can recognize him.

This time it’s the grain merchants. Now the imperial court is going to war, what do they lack the most?

As for food, every time a war breaks out, the price of food will increase. If there is a natural disaster, the price of food will increase dramatically.

Shen Nanzhi has countless food in the space as a backup, which is enough to feed an army of 100,000 for ten years. He will not worry about food, but others don't know.

Therefore, many families would hoard food, waiting for the price to rise so as to make a fortune. As for whether it would affect the imperial court or whether the soldiers had food to eat, this was not their concern. With the regent in charge, what did they have to worry about?

Everyone is only eyeing the three acres of land in front of their own door, and there are very few people who truly have a big picture and a global vision.

The tea merchant's surname was Feng, and his full name was Feng Tianbao. Captain Zhu quickly found his family, including his parents, wife, children, brothers and relatives. There were dozens of people in total, and it was a large family. They lived in a subordinate county near the outskirts of Beijing.

Shen Nanzhi was so angry that he laughed when he heard this. This person really understood the principle that the darkest place is under the lamp. He was actually hiding near the outskirts of Beijing. Who could have imagined?

In this way, with the control of his family, there was no need to worry that he would disobey, so Shen Nanzhi started to use food to harvest leeks.

Feng Tianbao is now cheating on orders from the emperor, and he has become more confident. If he commits any crime in the future, he will have someone to cover for him, so he doesn't have to worry about losing his head. This is the feeling of having someone to back him up.

His new identity was a grain merchant in Jiangnan. He was generous and soon became friends with the children of various major families. He would only start to trick them into paying him money when the time was right.

A sophisticated scam would never take one or two days, it could take ten days, half a month or even one or two years. This time, it took Feng Tianbao more than three months to get Princess Anguo to pay 100,000 taels of silver.

After these things were arranged, Shen Nanzhi no longer had to worry about anything and could just wait for her marriage with peace of mind. She also had to clean up the yard next door and was very busy.

Duke Shen came to see her the day before the wedding, and Shen Nanzhi also came to see him. It was just to see what nonsense he could say. This guy was okay as a friend and brother, but as a father, he was really terrible.

Duke Shen was dejected and looked guilty. He looked at Shen Nanzhi with a guilty look in his eyes, "Nanzhi, I don't have the face to ask you to recognize me. It's good that you have the Regent to take care of you."

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "It's really good. I have grown up without you as my father, haven't I? In this world, no one can't live without anyone else. What do you want?"

Duke Shen took out a box and said, "This is fifty thousand taels of silver. It's your dowry. It's not much. It's just a token of my appreciation."

Shen Nanzhi didn't care about this little bit of silver, and asked, "Does An Guo know that you are here to give me silver? I am not short of money. For this little bit of silver, I will bear the reputation of disturbing your family's peace. I am afraid it is not worth it."

Just as he finished speaking, a servant came to report: "Princess Anguo is here, and I can't stop her. She's already at the door."

She broke in by force. Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows. This princess was even more brainless than she thought. It seemed that the loss of 100,000 taels of silver had made her lose her mind.

Princess Anguo came in angrily, and Duke Shen looked unhappy, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course you know what I'm going to do. If I hadn't come, the entire Duke's Mansion would have been emptied by you. Can I just watch and do nothing?"

Duke Shen was tired: "Let's go back and talk if you have anything to say. Don't embarrass me here."

"I'm not the one who's embarrassed. What's there to be ashamed of?"

Princess Anguo looked at Shen Nanzhi with complicated eyes and unspeakable hatred. If she hadn't appeared, her life would have been perfect.

Her mother is also a despicable woman. She has already married her daughter to a foreign country, but she is still eager to have children for her. She is so shameless!
