Stretched out his hand to pull Qi Jingyun, the latter smiled, reached out to hold her hand, jumped slightly, and entered the carriage.

The carriage swayed and walked slowly, Qiao Mingyue was a little puzzled why she didn't go to the silk village at night, but Qi Jingyun laughed, "Running to the silk village at night will make people suspicious!" It's better to just go in so generously, anyway, this store is yours, everyone knows. ”

Hearing him say this, Qiao Mingyue suddenly felt reasonable, so she didn't say anything more, just sat obediently beside Qi Jingyun, lifted the curtain and looked outside.

After the end of the Flower Dynasty Festival, the city is no longer as lively as before, and it looks deserted, especially after seeing the previous prosperity, I feel more and more that the streets are deserted at this moment.

No wonder the former shopkeeper of the silk village at that time would say that this silk village is not profitable.

After all, it only takes more than half a month to make money every year, and most of the rest of the time is a little business, so it is natural to lose money.

However, after she took over, the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital always came here to order in order to have a relationship with the prince and King Jin, and this business was not a lot, and the money may not be able to make much, but it could help her cover up her original purpose.

The carriage stopped, Qiao Mingyue came back to her senses, Qi Jingyun saw that she didn't know what she was thinking, she couldn't help but ask out loud, Qiao Mingyue smiled, and only said: "Two days ago, Lord Wang's wife came to the shop to order some good Yunjin, and the prince sent someone to Mrs. Wang to send it to the house on a certain day." ”

The delivery cart could be a brocade, or it could be mixed with something taken from under the altar.

Qi Jingyun immediately understood Qiao Mingyue's thoughts, nodded and said that he had written it down, and then helped Qiao Mingyue to get out of the carriage, the carriage stopped at the door of the silk village, and the young man outside saw that it was Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun, and hurriedly trotted up to greet the two.

Wen Yuchen, who was sorting out the accounts of the past few days, heard that the young man came to report that the prince and the princess were coming, so he hurriedly put down the things at hand and hurriedly greeted them.

Qiao Mingyue stood still, and saw Wen Yuchen walking out quickly, dressed in a white robe, which looked better than what he wore when he first saw him, but it was also a little shabby.

People really can't believe it, the person in front of him is the shopkeeper of this shop, seeing Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun, Wen Yuchen hurriedly saluted and said hello, Qiao Mingyue waved his hand, and didn't care about these false courtesies.

"How's the business in the shop these days?" Qiao Mingyue asked carefully, Wen Yuchen said as he instructed the young man to make tea.

The three of them went to the inner room, Wen Yuchen picked up the account book, which recorded the income and expenses of the shop in the past few days, and each item was clearly recorded and carefully recorded, and it could be seen that it was with care.

After opening half of the ledger, the records in the back are completely different from the previous ones, and the back records are the things that were excavated in the secret passage, and how many things were taken out of the secret passage.

Qiao Mingyue read it carefully, and then handed the account book to Qi Jingyun, Qi Jingyun didn't care about this, just glanced at it casually, and put it on the table at hand.

"The Yunjin that Mrs. Wang wants has been packed and ready, but there are not enough people in the shop, so please ask the prince to send some people." Wen Yuchen said respectfully, Qi Jingyun bowed slightly, and promised to send someone tomorrow.

Dozens of small objects were pressed under these three boxes of Yunjin, some were pearl agate, and some were gold and silver jewelry, all of which were placed in the compartment below Yunjin, and when they arrived in the capital, Yunjin was sent to Lord Wang's mansion, and these boxes were transported to King Jin's mansion in Kyoto.

A group of people rested in the mansion for a day and rushed back the next day, naturally, all the contents of this box were left in King Jin's mansion, and those who came back were just empty boxes.

It's just that there are too many things below, and it is not possible to completely transport these things out by relying on this, and now it can only be done for the time being, so as not to move too much and arouse suspicion.

"This carriage is tired, it's really tiring, take me to the backyard to rest for a while!" Qiao Mingyue spoke, Wen Yuchen nodded hurriedly yes, and respectfully took the two to the backyard.

This small courtyard is not big, it is a small courtyard, several small houses enclose the courtyard, Wen Yuchen took Qiao Mingyue and them to the east wing, and when they arrived at the door, he did not follow up, but said softly: "The bed in the house is a little hard, I am afraid that the princess will not be used to sleeping, how about I let the princess add another mattress?" ”

Qiao Mingyue shook her head, Wen Yuchen no longer insisted on it, retired and left, Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun entered the house, Qi Jingyun smiled and said: "That scholar is a little cautious, and he is also cautious in doing things. ”

Qiao Mingyue smiled, she naturally understood that Wen Yuchen was a cautious person, if it weren't for that, how could she dare to hand over such an important matter to him to do?

Lifted the bed board, and sure enough, a secret passage was exposed under the bed board, and an iron plate was covered with the secret passage.

Lighting the fire, Qiao Mingyue was pulled down by Qi Jingyun and went down to the secret passage, five steps into the secret passage is a torch, and the surroundings of the secret passage are also cleaned up, and there are no scattered mounds of soil underground.

Walking all the way in, you can still see some small holes, which are small enough for ventilation, and the holes are covered by some weeds or broken tiles, even from above, they are inconspicuous.

The further he walked in, the less air there became, and Qiao Mingyue inhaled heavily, only to feel that his body was not so uncomfortable.

After walking for about a stick of incense, I saw the bright light, listened carefully, and could still hear the sound of the people below digging the secret passage, and before the two approached, they alarmed the secret guards who were digging the secret passage.

almost started to fight, but fortunately, Qi Jingyun spoke out in time, and those people also recognized his voice, so they didn't really do it.

A few people took Qi Jingyun and they continued to walk down, the further down they went, the larger the space became, until they stood directly below the altar, looking at the mountains of treasures in front of them, Qiao Mingyue still couldn't help but sigh, so much money, if it was just handed over to one person, I am afraid that it would not be able to spend it in a lifetime.

Thinking about how to use the money, Qiao Mingyue was a little absent-minded, but Qi Jingyun didn't care about the money at all, just glanced at it casually, and talked to the secret guard who was digging the secret passage about whether anything had happened in the past few days.

The dark guard thought about it carefully and nodded, "Back to the prince's words, last night someone came to the shop when the shop was about to close, and didn't buy much, but walked around, and then we thought it was strange, so we wanted to follow and take a look, but we saw that the person went around the shop twice more times, and then went back." ”
