Chapter 60, not letting go of a brick or tile
Xue Jian didn't look at this ancient book immediately, but pretended to stay in the study for a day before he came out, and after bidding farewell to the captain of the Imperial Forest Army, he returned to the mansion of the fifth prince.
Now that a large number of court officials have been dismissed, the emperor has a headache, and how to fill these vacant positions is a top priority.
Therefore, the five princes were very busy, and most of the vacant positions, he wanted to arrange his own people to take them, and at the same time, he had to transfer officials from other places.
On the other side, in the mansion of the three princes, the three princes who learned the news were venting their anger on the competition platform, and several sparring guards were already seriously injured.
There is still a month before he can lift the grounding, I really don't know, after this month, there are still no three princes in the court.
Just then, a personal attendant stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.
The third prince snorted coldly, put on a coat, and hurriedly followed the attendant to a small attic in the backyard.
The loft is usually locked and no one is allowed to approach.
After the arrival of the third prince, the lock of the door had been opened, and he walked in alone, while his personal servants waited at the door.
The attic was dim, and only a person standing inside could be seen through the light cast through the small ventilation window above.
The third prince snorted coldly and said unceremoniously.
"You still have the face to come to this prince. ”
The man turned around, revealing a solemn and majestic face, and when he saw the third prince, he hurriedly bent down and saluted.
"Wan has seen the three princes. ”
This person is thousands of gold.
Ma Zhong took hundreds of imperial forest troops to search for him, but he didn't find him, everyone thought that Wan Qianjin had escaped from the imperial city in advance, but they didn't expect that he was still in the city, and he also came to the mansion of the third prince.
"What are you still doing here? The advantages that this prince has accumulated in the court for many years have been cut off by you like this, do you really think I won't kill you?"
The third prince glared angrily.
Wan Qianjin sighed lightly and said helplessly.
"Now my life is worthless, the third prince can take it at any time if he wants to, but I still have a trick to do, I don't know if the third prince dares to sacrifice his life?"
The third prince frowned and asked.
"What's the backhand?"
A fierce color suddenly flashed in thousands of golden eyes, and he said in a deep voice.
"I have some friendship with Hu Yanqi, the general of Zhennan of the Dongli Dynasty in the north, as long as the three princes dare to sacrifice their lives, I will personally go to the Dongli Dynasty, let Huyanqi send troops to the north, transfer Ishihara out of the imperial city, and then we will come to join forces outside and take the throne. ”
When the third prince heard this kind of disobedient words and deeds, instead of showing anger, he pondered intently.
He suddenly remembered that he had received a letter some time ago, and he had confidence in his heart.
"Okay, that's it, you go to the Dongli Dynasty to lobby Huyanqi first, and a month later, when I lift the ban, it will be when you send troops to the north.
In addition, all the officials who have been imprisoned in the past two days, their subordinates, you have to send someone to contact them, these people will not be questioned and beheaded immediately, and when the time comes, let them respond together, and our chances of success will be much greater. ”
Wan Qianjin nodded yes, asked for a handwritten letter from the third prince, then turned around and opened a wooden board on the ground, and jumped into a secret passage.
At night, Xue Jian took out the ancient fish skin book and studied it carefully for a long time.
The things recorded above are not much different from what Du Guofu said, but about the moon worship curse, the record is not detailed.
He showed the ancient book to Chu Yiyi, and told her about saving Du Xiaoqing today.
Chu Yiyi is kind by nature and agrees with Xue Jian's approach, but this matter of the Blood Moon Clan is too evil, and she hopes that Xue Jian will not delve into it.
After all, this was all from I don't know how many years ago, and the Blood Moon Clan soon left only Du Xiaoqing alone, which can be said to be no different from extermination.
Xue Jian put away the ancient book, and planned to wait for Du Xiaoqing to grow up in the future, and hand over the ancient book to her to deal with by herself.
Early the next morning, Xue Jian changed into an ordinary blue robe, and went to the places where his house was raided to pick up the leaks.
This time, instead of going to the homes of those officials, he went to a residence of Wan Qianjin.
As the richest man in the Imperial City, Wan Qianjin has hundreds of properties in the Imperial City, except for those slums, almost every street, there are his houses.
Xue Jian went to an ancient house in Nancheng District this time, and heard that this house is very old, and he picked up a vase casually, all of which were antiques of hundreds or thousands of years.
With excitement, he did not enter through the main entrance, but found a place where there was no one, and slipped over the wall into the courtyard.
After two days of looting, most of the good things in the house were removed, but there were some things that were not easy to move.
For example, he now has a stone wall of Yunlong relief in front of him that is in excellent condition and exquisite in workmanship.
This stone wall is displayed in front of a hall in the backyard, separating the avenue from the front yard, and is a kind of landmark in the ancient house, used to divide the front yard from the back yard.
Xue Jian looked at it vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no one around, he ran over cautiously and pressed his hand on the cloud dragon stone wall.
In a blink of an eye, the stone wall weighing tens of thousands of catties disappeared out of thin air, and Xue Jian's account immediately had 10,000 more virtual coins.
"It's been sent, and the things here are really valuable. ”
Xue Jian almost couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and jumped into the hall like a dexterous fox.
The hall was empty, but the floor tiles were made of jade.
He doesn't need to pry with a shovel, he just presses his hand on the ground and can take away a floor tile.
In a few moments, the originally smooth and flat floor of this hall revealed potholes.
Xue saw that he was like a locust, where he passed, the floor tiles were pried away, the tiles were recycled, and he did not let go of one brick at a time, in order to avoid too much movement, this time he did not take away the beams and pillars.
In just half a day, almost all the backyard houses of this ancient house have become empty wooden shelves.
By the time the Imperial Forest Army came to the backyard and found that something was wrong, Xue Jian had already rushed to the second mansion with thousands of dollars.
The guards looked at each other one by one, looking at the empty shelves, and couldn't believe their eyes.
Could it be that a swarm of locusts flew by just now, but the locusts don't eat tiles?
Suddenly, a person pointed to the position where the Yunlong stone wall was placed, showed a ghostly expression, and shouted.
"You see, the Yunlong stone wall is gone, this ...... This thing weighs tens of thousands of pounds, who ...... Who carried him away?"
If the stone wall weighing tens of thousands of catties could be carried away, they would have carried it away two days ago, and they still have to wait for today?
But no one carried it away, and how did this cloud dragon stone wall disappear.
All the entrances and exits of this entire ancient mansion are controlled by the Imperial Forest Army, how can someone carry tens of thousands of catties of stone walls and leave the ancient mansion from under their noses.
At this time, a royal forest soldier remembered what happened in Du Mansion yesterday and hurriedly said.
"I remembered that I also encountered this kind of thing yesterday when I was searching Du Mansion.
The floor tiles of a small road have been pried away, and hundreds of pounds of stone lampposts have also disappeared, and the most astonishing thing is that the tiles and beams of a house have disappeared. ”
