Chapter 144: Greed is exhausting

Views:

"Will we come again?" Bai Languo was led out of the room by him. Seeing that he was diligently helping her fasten the copper lock on the door intact, she couldn't help but be reluctant to part with the four big boxes inside. .

"Of course." Xi Louyue carried her to the roof, "Don't be too greedy. You seem to be a lot heavier."

But no, although Bai Languo was assigned a small sack, it was so full that it almost leaked. Unlike Xi Louyue's sack, which was less than half full, it was really a waste!

"If I had known you weren't greedy, you would have given me the big bag!" Bai Languo looked at his bag and was still worried.

Xi Louyue laughed: "It's still a long way to the slums outside the city. I'm afraid you won't be able to carry it."

"Who said that? As long as the bag contains gold, I have no problem lifting a ton!"

"A ton?"

"That's a hundred pounds!" Bai Languo shouted.

Fortunately, Xi Louyue didn't understand the conversion of "tons", otherwise she would probably have to call Bai Languo "idiot" again, even if he couldn't lift the roof well, he couldn't even do the math.

However, Bai Languo's big talk was ahead. Before she even left Songcheng, she was already lying on the ground tiredly. The small sack was at least strong, otherwise she would have been unable to carry it on her back and instead dragged it, and the gold would have been scattered all over the floor. .

"I can't... I... I can't walk!" Xi Louyue, who was sitting on the ground breathing heavily and complaining that walking was so easy and comfortable, said, "You are a boy, you should help girls carry things! How can you walk alone? Why are you walking so fast in front?"

"If you keep dawdling, it's almost dawn. Things like robbing the rich and giving to the poor won't be fun at dawn." Xi Louyue had no choice but to walk back again, scolding her while helping her pick up the small sack, "Who let me You are greedy and can hold so much, but just now I don’t know who said that as long as it is gold, you can carry a hundred kilograms!"

"Who would have thought that gold is so heavy." Bai Languo chirped and murmured, "It would be great to exchange it for silver notes. One stack is worth the box. Then Zuo Xiang is also a fool! He deserves to be stolen!"

"This is the gold provided by the imperial court for disaster relief. It was embezzled just two days ago. How could it be exchanged for silver notes so quickly? The fate of being discovered would be much more tragic than if it was stolen." Xi Louyue said.

"Disaster relief?" There was no news broadcast, and Bai Languo seemed to be a little behind-the-scenes about national events.

"Well, floods in the south."

"Then let's go to the south to provide disaster relief!" The heartless Bai Languo thought that disaster relief meant traveling.

Xilouyue sneered: "Do you think that just the two of us, who don't know the slightest about water conservancy precautions, can go there to provide disaster relief? The beggars outside the city now are the victims who came from the south but were not allowed to enter the city. , that’s all we can help.”

As Xilouyue spoke, she hurried out of the city and urged Bai Languo: "If you don't hurry up, I don't know how many more people will starve to death due to this moment of delay."

"Oh!" Bai Languo seemed to have been taught the lesson and followed obediently, running faster than Xi Louyue.

So Xi Louyue called her unhappy from behind: "Throw all the bags to me. What's the use of running over alone?"

Bai Languo suddenly looked back, tilted his head and asked: "Actually, giving them gold and silver is useless. What they need most now is food. Even if we give them gold right away, they can't eat gold. Those who are about to starve to death will still starve to death." , how can you go to the city until dawn to buy food, not to mention you said you wouldn’t let the victims of the disaster enter the city?"
