The amount of gold in each box varied, and after the hardships paid to the soldiers plus the hush money, there were a total of 860,000 taels of gold buried in the pit.

Six million taels of gold were lost in the treasury, and the batch of gold found by His Royal Highness Qin, although it was far from it, solved the urgent need of the imperial court, at least this month there was no need for the old emperor to sell things from the private treasury.

The old emperor was very satisfied with Qin Xiaoyan's beautiful results as soon as he came back, and he was not so distressed about the box of gold that was sent out.

Fifty or sixty thousand taels of gold is a lot for ordinary people, but for a person like the old emperor who sits on the world, it is really nothing.

The old emperor was very happy to find some of the silver, but the old emperor had to ask Qin Xiaoyan about his late arrival yesterday.

His Royal Highness Qin, as the prince, does not need to explain his actions to others, but he has to explain to the old emperor.

"Where did you go last night? Why is it an hour late? The old emperor asked Qin Xiaoyan about this matter in person, but he was actually telling Qin Xiaoyan, he was very relieved of Qin Xiaoyan, and he did not go to find out what Qin Xiaoyan had done in private.

"Went on a trip out of town." Qin Liyan lied without blinking.

"What are you doing out of town?" The old emperor asked again.

Qin Xiaoyan didn't think about it, so he said, "Take care of the moat." ”

"Guarding the moat?" The old emperor looked puzzled.

Running out of the city in the middle of the night to take care of the city river, what kind of stupidity is this?

Qin Xiaoyan didn't wait for the old emperor to ask, and said, "If I were the one behind the scenes, I would transport the silver out in a way that didn't touch anyone, and the best way was by water." The moat in the capital connects the people in the city with water, buries the silver in the river, and dives into the water at night to drag it, so that no one can be touched. ”

Qin Xiaoyan didn't say anything, but seriously thought about whether this matter was feasible?

After Qin Xiaoyan's thinking, he decided that this matter was really feasible, but the amount of work was very huge, and it was definitely not something that could be completed in one or two months.

"Water transport?" The old emperor fell into deep thought, his cloudy eyes shining with essence, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After Qin Lianyan finished explaining, he stopped talking, and seeing that the old emperor was thinking about something, Qin Lianyan didn't bother, and explained to the old emperor's personal eunuch, and left the palace.

"Lord Wang," the guard stepped forward, following closely behind Qin Xiaoyan, "news came from the six gates, someone died in the Ning'an Temple outside the city, and the deceased used blood to draw a symbol of two horizontal and one vertical before he died. ”

"Two horizontal and one vertical?" Qin Shiyan paused, turned his head and asked, "Who is the deceased?" ”

"A sweeping monk in Ning'an Temple, seven years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, he became a monk in Ning'an Temple thirteen years ago, and has been doing the work of a sweeping monk, rarely showing up in front of people, until he died, few people in Ning'an Temple have seen him." The guards were close to Qin Xiaoyan, so they naturally knew how important the two horizontal and one vertical symbols were to Qin Xiaoyan.

"Immediately let people cordon off the scene, send the official back, and the case was answered by six doors." Since His Royal Highness Qin became the emperor's grandson, the six doors have faintly tended to surpass the six departments.

Qin Shiyan walked quickly towards the carriage, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he explained: "Get out of the city!" ”

The guards hurried up and rushed to Ning'an Temple with Qin Xiaoyan's order......

After Qin Xiaoyan got into the carriage, his first reaction was to send someone to pick up Gu Qiancheng, but thinking of the danger of this case, and thinking that Gu Qiancheng still had something to do today, Qin Xiaoyan suppressed this thought again.

In the future, try not to let Gu Qiancheng come into contact with dead people, it's too unlucky!

Gu Qiancheng was at the Gu family at this time, receiving the ladies who came to thank him.

Yesterday they were all from high-ranking families, and there was nothing inappropriate for them to send their subordinates, but some people with relatively low portals did not have the courage to do so.

Seeing that the Feng family, the Yan family, and the queen's maiden family sent decent housekeepers and grandmothers, how dare they send people over like the Feng and Yan families.

Many people came in person, and their daughters-in-law came to express their gratitude and goodwill to Gu Qiancheng if they were a little higher.

There is no shortage of well-informed people in the capital, these ladies want to come to thank Gu Qiancheng, and they will inevitably inquire about the people who came yesterday in advance, the gifts they gave, and the words they say.

Knowing the Feng family and the Yan family, and not taking the rest of the Gu family in their eyes, the ladies who came today will also not take these people seriously.

Yesterday, Dou was embarrassed in front of someone, and today he said that he was sick and couldn't come, but Mrs. Gu and the second lady were unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

One for their son and the other for their daughter, not only did they appear cheekily, but they also brought their sons and daughters.

Gu Chengzhi's age is quite embarrassing, not big or small, but fortunately, they are all married women today, so it doesn't hurt to see them, and others didn't say anything.

Because yesterday Gu Qiancheng trained the people of the Yan family, these ladies understood that although Gu Qiancheng was not very close to the Gu family, they couldn't bear to say that the Gu family was not good in front of her.

In the face of the courteous Mrs. Gu and the second lady, although these ladies did not sneer, they adopted an indifferent and unreasonable attitude. As soon as Mrs. Gu and the second lady spoke, they immediately became cold, and after a while, these ladies were fine again and moved on to other topics.

A man wants a face, and a tree wants bark. Rao is Mrs. Gu and the second lady couldn't hold it no matter how thick-skinned they were, and after coming down a few times, the two finally didn't dare to open their mouths again.

Gu Chengzhi and Gu Qianmeng stood beside their respective mothers, looking at these ladies in Beijing holding Qiancheng, but they were indifferent to their mothers, and they had their own thoughts......

Gu Chengzhi felt that it was because of Gu Qiancheng that his mother lost face, and if Gu Qiancheng died, then his mother would become the Duchess of the Kingdom who everyone flattered.

As for Gu Qianmeng?

She's completely dead!

With such a mother and such a mother, it is impossible for her to marry into a high-ranking family and be a high-ranking daughter-in-law in her life. Instead of marrying into a famous family and being a wife in the main house that no one can look up to, it is better to find a small family to be the wife who is the master of the house.

After Gu Qiancheng sent the ladies away, Gu Qianmeng found an opportunity to stay, and took the initiative to step forward and said, "Sister Qiancheng, I have thought about it." ”

Such a clueless sentence must not be understood by others, but Gu Qiancheng understood it in an instant, "If you think about it, let's say, what kind of family do you want to choose?" ”

"Sister Qiancheng, if you can, can you marry me, someone who doesn't know our family affairs? I don't seek a big family, I just want peace and well-being. "The scandal of the Gu family is the filth that the Gu family's daughter can't wash away, as long as she is in the capital, she will be looked down on for a day, she doesn't want to be like her mother, become the object of ridicule and ridicule by the women in Beijing.

Gu Qiancheng never thought that Qianmeng would have such an idea, raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, seeing that her face was peaceful, not as strong as the pinching tip in the past, and he knew in his heart that this little girl was smoothed out by life.

Bury your former innocence and ignorance and compromise with life. Although she is disabled, only such a girl can live a good life after getting married......
