Suddenly, when he heard that Cen Feng had a key person in his hand who was crucial to this matter, everyone present, including Emperor Zhou, all showed doubts and surprises. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From the moment he entered the study, Gao Heng always felt that Cen Feng was extremely calm and calm, and seemed to have been waiting for an opportunity.

Although he didn't know what he was planning in his heart, Gao Heng could feel that he was always on his side.

When the person mentioned in Cen Feng's mouth walked into the study and met him, it was even more unexpected to everyone.

"Grass people Gu Hanqing, meet Your Majesty. ”

I saw Gu Hanqing dressed in a plain robe, his face was silent and passed by everyone, and after intentionally or unintentionally brushing over Gao Heng on the side, he leaned down and bowed to Emperor Zhou.

"Gu Hanqing, it's you. ”

Emperor Zhou squinted his eyes at him, his slightly surprised eyes fell on him, and he leaned forward unconsciously.

"Your Gu family in Quanzhou is known as a rich country, and the ancestors of the Gu family have made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country in my Great Zhou, even if it weren't for your friendship with Heng'er, and the old official and silver case that implicated you, I would have heard about you a long time ago. ”

And listening to Emperor Zhou's tepid and meaningful words, Gu Hanqing's expression was still as calm as water, without a trace of shock.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, the family of the grass people is just a family of merchants who inherit the business, how can they bear the name of this rich and rival country? Moreover, in front of Your Majesty and the Great Zhou Jiangshan, it is just a small speck of dust, as long as Your Majesty raises his hand, it will disappear in the blink of an eye, and there is no trace to be found. ”

Although Gu Hanqing's words sounded like self-indulgent flattery, they made sense when they were listened to carefully.

Indeed, how can there be any real wealth in this world?

No matter how many mountains of gold and silver you sit on, for the emperor who reigns over the world, after all, he can only be a courtier who bows his knees, and he needs to be in awe from time to time, and he cannot exceed half a point.

At the slightest threat, they can be uprooted, and even overnight, they can fall from heaven to hell.

"You're a good talker. ”

Emperor Zhou's eyes were loose, and the solemn color between his eyebrows had not been soothed, but he tightened his cheeks again.

"I just heard Cen Feng say, can you clear the doubts in my heart for me?"

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly. The grass people came this time because they wanted to have something for His Majesty to see. ”

Gu Hanqing bowed slightly, and after a while, he saw two eunuchs working together to carry up a somewhat old square wooden box and place it in front of Emperor Zhou.

The wooden box is not large, but it can be seen that the two eunuchs carrying the box seem to be a little difficult, and it seems that it contains some heavy things.

And by the naked eye, it can be seen that there are some marks similar to dirt attached to the chest, and the lock is also rusty, apparently buried in the soil for some years, and has just been dug up.

"What is this?"

Emperor Zhou and everyone present all looked at the wooden box on the ground with suspicious eyes, and they all wanted to know what it contained.

Before, he was obviously interrogating the old case of Guanyin, but under the thunderous anger of Emperor Zhou, the atmosphere was solemn and solemn for a while.

And Gu Hanqing's appearance was already unexpected, and at this time, such an inexplicable thing was brought up, which really made people a little confused.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is what the grass people got by chance from a charlatan thief. ”

However, Gu Hanqing ignored the various suspicious gazes projected from the surroundings, and glanced sideways at the eunuch beside him.

Since the locks on the box had been loosened before, they could be opened with bare hands without much effort.

With the sound of unlocking, the moment the box was opened, a dull but clear exclamation rang out from all around.

Even Gao Heng, who had a solemn expression, immediately jumped between his eyebrows, and his eyes were awe-inspiring in his deep pupils, and he locked on.

I saw that this wooden box was filled with a box of silver ingots that were neatly arranged and as bright as new.

In terms of numbers, there are at least hundreds of taels.

Of course, the people present were either relatives of the emperor or high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and even though these silver taels were numerous, they were not enough for them to have such an exaggerated reaction.

What they were really amazed at was the special symbol on each ingot of silver as far as the eye could see.

However, all the silver that is collected in the treasury and used by the imperial court will be marked with the name of the year to facilitate the storage, and it is called official silver.

And the silver ingots, judging from the first row alone, are undoubtedly engraved with such marks.

"It's... This is the official treasury of the state. ”

Emperor Zhou looked at the charming money in front of him in a daze, his chest was stagnant, and he frowned deeply.

After a while, he suddenly raised his eyes and stared wide, and a sentence of anger overflowed from between his teeth.

"Gu Hanqing, you are so bold. ”

But in the face of Emperor Zhou's dragon face anger, Gu Hanqing was indifferent, and he didn't even argue for himself.

Because at this moment, Gao Heng had already stepped forward and picked up a silver ingot from the wooden box and put it in his hand.

After staring for a moment and seeing the words on it clearly, he suddenly looked up at Gu Hanqing with a very serious expression.

It was also at this moment that Gao Heng suddenly realized that the reason why Gu Hanqing did not rush to the Yanwang Mansion to visit the saved Cheng Jinzhi in the first place.

It's because he's doing something that he thinks is more meaningful and valuable than just visiting.

Compared to standing in front of the woman you love, watching her scarred and unconscious, you can't do anything but be sad and blame yourself, resentful and indignant.

It's better to put away this one-sided hypocrisy and give it a go.

It's just that Gao Heng couldn't figure it out, where did Gu Hanqing get this official silver that had been involved in countless turmoil and had evaporated in the world for a long time?

After all, before this, and even last night, he didn't say a word about it.

"Twenty-three years of Zhengkang. ”

Gao Heng came back to his senses and stared at each other, pronouncing these words heavily, and his heart couldn't help but tremble suddenly.

This era name may sound bland to outsiders, but in the ears of these insiders in front of him, it is tantamount to a thunderous explosion.

"It was the year when the huge amount of disaster relief money in Bizhou was robbed. ”

Cen Feng took Gao Heng's words with a serious expression, and when he looked at Gu Hanqing, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes very quickly.

"What did you say?"

Emperor Zhou's face suddenly stiffened as he spoke, and he immediately stood up from the dragon throne and stared at the box of silver ingots in disbelief.

When he went to look at Gu Hanqing again, the anger in his eyes had faded by half, and turned to a cloudy cloud, faintly flickering with a chilling glow.

"Gu Hanqing, where did you get all this silver?"
