Chapter 176: The overall situation has been decided
Gu Qiluo hadn't walked out a few steps before she heard the unbridled laughter from behind, knowing that someone had leaked the answer, she was angry in her heart, and secretly said Zhong Chunfeng, you guy who doesn't know life or death, wait, I will sell you to Cheng Tong tomorrow, you dare to make fun of me, hum!
When he was angry, he suddenly heard Ying Feihong shouting: "Ah, where is the water?" She was startled and quickly turned around and looked up, and sure enough, she saw a fire shining in the night sky not far away, and the direction should be the backyard of the General Soldier's Mansion.
"What's going on?"
I didn't care about being angry at the moment, and Zhong Chunfeng, Ying Feihong and the others were also shocked, seeing that Gu Qiluo was actually running, they hurriedly stopped, Zeng Yuan said: "Grandma, the situation is unknown now, and don't be impatient, there are the second master and Lord Qincha in the General Military Mansion, and it should be fine." β
"I'm afraid I'm afraid they're not there." Gu Qiluo was only afraid that it was the people who were greedy for fun at this time, and they were careless for a while, so that where the lights were burning, he was really anxious. However, at this time, the dozen or so guards also came forward in groups, and the leader said: "Madame, don't be anxious, your lordship has already prepared, before leaving, your lord ordered us to protect Madame, saying that no matter what happens in the house, don't be anxious, and wait in place." β
Not only Gu Qiluo was stunned, but Zeng Yuan Xinghua and the others were also at a loss at this time. However, they soon understood: this situation must have been expected by Cheng Tong and Xiao Jiangbei for a long time, and even said that this Lantern Festival was probably a cover for this incident.
Even they understood, how could Gu Qiluo be confused. Because she was settled, she nodded and said, "This will bother you, let's see the situation here." After speaking, I heard Zhong Chunfeng sneer: "How? I'll just say that the poisonous snake wouldn't have such a naΓ―ve mind. Lantern festival? Looking at the lights? Hehe, it's all an excuse, it's just an opportunity to act conveniently. β
Gu Qiluo frowned and said, "But Cheng Tong is a Qincha, what can't he do?" Do you have to take advantage of this opportunity? β
Zhong Chunfeng said lightly: "Grandma has not forgotten what he is doing when he came to Liaodong?" What do you think he has accomplished all these days? In addition to the closure of the North Peak Mountain Gold Mine, what else did he do? The old fox hiding in the shadows is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is so easy to uproot him. How can it be that simple? Hehe, a poisonous snake, a fox. I wonder who will win this time? β
"Who do you want to win?" Gu Qiluo squinted at Zhong Chunfeng, but saw him with a tiger face and said, "I hope both sides will lose." β
"Do you have to win or lose?" How could Gu Qiluo let Zhong Chunfeng give such a perfunctory answer? Therefore, he kept asking, but seeing that this guy's face was ugly for a while, Fang slowly said in a deep voice: "Of course I hope that Cheng Tong wins." β
"Huh?"
Gu Qiluo was surprised. saw Zhong Chunfeng said sadly: "Grandma, what kind of expression do you have?" Is it in your eyes. Am I the one who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong? The overall situation is important, the people of Jiangshan and the society are important, and the development of Liaodong is important, so of course I hope that Cheng Tong will win. β
Before the words fell, I heard Zeng Yuan sneering beside him: "I don't think you may be so noble, Master Cheng wins, you can go back to Beijing to resume your life, and you are hoping that he will quickly take care of a certain old fox because of this." Then hurry up and leave, right? β
Zhong Chunfeng was pierced by Zeng Yuan, but he was not ashamed at all. Instead, his nostrils turned to the sky and said, "Sure enough, you've been with me for so long, and you know me a little." β
"I think it's really good to have a Cheng Tong in this world to restrain him, this must be God's eye-opening, that's why such an arrangement was made." Gu Qiluo couldn't help but say to Xinghua, and the three of Xinghua Chunyu and Qiurong nodded in agreement, it was really Zhong Chunfeng's appearance at this moment that was too bad.
At this time, the people also noticed the fire, and everyone's attention was finally diverted from the ice lamp, but there was no commotion, but after a while, the fire was lowered, and it was evident that it had been extinguished. There seemed to be a noise coming from the Governor's Palace, which was close to it, but at this time there were many people on the street, and in the midst of the boiling chatter, the noise was quickly drowned out.
Although there are only two streets, they can't stand the delicate and beautiful ice lanterns, so it was not until after the third watch that the crowd was reluctant to leave. Gu Qiluo had Xiao Jiangbei and Cheng Tong's plan for tonight hanging in her heart, although the moon was in the sky at this time, sprinkling thousands of miles of clear light, she didn't have the mind to walk under the moon, and hurriedly returned to the backyard of the General Soldier's Mansion with a group of people, and before she could enter the courtyard, she saw Xiao Jiangbei walking out in a military uniform, and saw her Fang breathe a sigh of relief, so she smiled and said, "Why did you go shopping so late?" It's just two streets, and I thought you'd be back a long time ago. β
"What are you doing here?"
Gu Qiluo looked at his armor and was very surprised, but he heard Xiao Jiangbei smile and said, "On the orders of Lord Qincha, I went to arrest the arson criminals, and I just came back." β
"The arsonist?" Gu Qiluo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "But you caught it?" β
Xiao Jiangbei patted his chest and said with a smile: "When you go out for your husband, you will naturally be able to catch it." β
"Brag, you'll be fine." Gu Qiluo snorted: "Why is it delayed until this moment when you get caught?" If I'm not mistaken, then the culprit should be hiding in the Governor's Palace, right? It's useless for you to go over the mountains and mountains. β
Xiao Jiangbei said with a smile: "The lady is really powerful, and she guessed it right at once." However, the arson criminal was very cunning and murderous, in order to protect Lord Tang's family, I had to personally take hundreds of guards to the front and back yards of the Governor's Mansion to search and protect. β
"What's that?" Gu Qiluo knew in his heart, the secret path Cheng Tong was really a poisonous snake, this strategy was really poisonous, I don't know if the so-called arsonist was arranged by him, or if he revealed the news, so Tang Wannian sent someone to destroy the evidence, but he happened to be used as an excuse, if it was the former, this kid was not a thing. But no matter which one thing is, one thing is certain, Tang Wannian is unlucky this time.
Sure enough, I saw that my husband showed that very innocent look again, and spread his hands and said: "Well, in fact, I just accidentally broke into several warehouses in the Governor's Palace, but I didn't expect to find a lot of things that should have been tributed, what millennium ginseng, precious deer antlers, humanoid He Shou Wu, Phnom Penh Ganoderma lucidum, etc., that's it, the most important thing is that our Lord Tang is known as a two-sleeved breeze, but in his mansion, there are still a few underground warehouses, which are full of gold." To tell the truth, I looted something from the north, took out some and sold it for 600,000 taels of silver, and I was very complacent at that time, and I felt that I was also rich, but now compared with Lord Tang, I know that our 600,000 taels of silver are just poor and sour. β
"Do you want to be so exaggerated? Isn't there a mountain of gold in the underground storehouse? Gu Qiluo looked at Xiao Jiangbei suspiciously, and secretly said that this thing seemed to be stimulated a lot tonight, and he said so many things at once.
Xiao Jiangbei shook his finger and said, "Qiluo guessed wrong, it's not one golden mountain, but five." I've only made a rough calculation, I'm afraid that there are no less than six million taels of gold in the underground treasury of this Tang governor, can you imagine what kind of wealth this is? β
"Multi-...... How much? Six...... Six million taels? Still...... Or gold? β
Gu Qiluo was stunned, thinking to himself what is the concept of six million taels of gold? 600,000 catties of gold? Damn, how much gold and silver did the biggest corrupt official in our history and Shen steal when he raided his home? Oh, it seems that there are still more than this, it seems that the red gold alone copied out five million eight hundred thousand taels, and this is not counting those red gold ingots that weigh one thousand taels. Fortunately, the huge corruption in this era did not surpass the number one corrupt official in our history, but it is shocking enough.
Gu Qiluo was thinking about these messy things in her heart, and when she saw Xiao Jiangbei nodding, she muttered: "How many gold mines did Tang Wannian privately open this time?" The gold mine in Beifeng Mountain alone wouldn't make him have such a big profit, right? β
"These will only be known after Cheng Tong's interrogation." Xiao Jiangbei let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly smiled: "No matter how many gold mines he opens?" How many bad things have been done? How many clever means are there? In short, this time he is finished, it is really finished, not to mention five gold mountains and six million taels of gold, that is, 100,000 taels of gold, which is enough for him to die several times, this time, he has no luck. β
This result naturally made Gu Qiluo very happy, and immediately pulled Xiao Jiangbei back to the house, took off the armor for him, and said, "What's going on?" Tell me about it, huh! He sent me out to see the lights, and then I arrived, but I didn't see anyone until now, and I only saw the fire in the general soldier's mansion halfway, which almost scared me to death. Xiao Jiangbei, you have a long ability, dare to deceive me! Yes? β
Xiao Jiangbei glanced at his wife, the secret way is too exaggerated, right? Can a little fire scare you to death as a daring woman? However, of course, this kind of thought can't be said, and he also knows that the reason why Gu Qiluo said this is just to let himself talk to her about the process in detail, not really to settle a small account.
So I talked about it in detail, and it turned out that this was really planned by Cheng Tong a long time ago. It's just that after hearing that Gu Qiluo and others were making ice lanterns, he had an idea and found the most perfect time, so there will be a Lantern Festival in the front and back streets of the official mansion. Before that, he deliberately "accidentally" showed a little bit of his tone, only saying that he was having fun on the surface these days, but it was actually to paralyze others, his henchmen and subordinates were searching everywhere, and now he has a lot of evidence of Tang Wannian's corruption in Liaodong, just wait for the Lantern Festival to pass, and then clean up the other party, and then return to Beijing to revert.
The spy that Tang Wannian had finally planted in really lived up to his expectations, and immediately brought the news to Tang Wannian, so there was the fire of the General Military Mansion during the Lantern Festival. Cheng Tong knew very well that this lantern festival was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Tang Wannian. Otherwise, even if the old fox jumps off the wall in a hurry, he will definitely be cautious, unless it is such a lively lantern festival and everyone is slacking, he will launch a thunderous blow.
