"The more money I spend, the more I seem to make."
Pei Shaoqing remarked with sincere feeling as he looked at the gold, silver, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques confiscated from Zhou Xiangyang's home.
'I'll never be able to spend it all. It's just too much.'
I'd just given a huge sum of money to Eunuch Liu, and I'd already made it all back from Zhou Xiangyang's home.
And it was obvious Zhou Xiangyang had planned to establish himself in Tongzhou for the long haul. He'd moved his entire family fortune here.
Now it had all fallen right into the lap of Pei Qingtian.
"Divide this among the men who handled the job." Pei Shaoqing grabbed a handful of loose silver notes and handed them to Chen Zhongyi.
Chen Zhongyi received them with both hands. "Thank you, my Lord."
"Arrange for someone to send this stolen money and my personal letter to the Prefecture City for Lu Households Commander." Pei Shaoqing nudged a box overflowing with silver with the tip of his boot.
