Chapter 0013 Tiger Aunt Talks about the Past, Innocent Determines the Future!

On the night of the Midyear Festival, after Ah Long and Hu Gu and Long Wuxie Dao recognized each other, they went to the secret room next to the living room for a secret conversation.

"Alas! This is how the long years have passed! Ah Long, on the afternoon of your beheading, my father and I collected your body and buried it at the noon gate! That night, you came to me to say goodbye, and told me where the goldfish were hiding their treasures! On the third day, after I discussed with the Immortal Daoist, one night, we took a dozen of our cronies and drove a dozen big wagons to the suburban cave where you said the treasure was hidden! We quickly found the trap and opened the stone door of the treasure vault according to the hint in your words! Oh, my God! There are a lot of treasures hidden in it! They have gold ingots, gold bars, silver ingots, silver nuggets, ancient coins, bronzes, gemstones, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, etc., these treasures have been sorted and packed, we all unpacked and checked these treasures, we closed them again and locked! There are more than 150 large boxes in total! Fortunately, these boxes are all iron boxes, so they are easy to carry over long distances! After we moved all of them to the carriage, we covered the carriage with camouflage mats, and after we covered all these boxes, we rushed to Longjiazhuang, which was more than 200 miles away from the capital, overnight! This is our hometown, so we put these treasures in the basement of the Long family's ancestral house! ”

Hu Gu was out of breath, and the Innocent Dao Chief took Hu Gu and said, "Alas! These things are too heavy, too precious! Therefore, we don't dare to carry them in a big way! Once we got to the basement of our home, we counted and measured the babies! This batch of treasures has a total of 1 million taels of gold (at this time, 1 tael of gold is equivalent to 20 taels of silver), 1 million taels of silver! Ancient coins, bronzes, precious stones, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, etc., these are priceless antiques! These antiques weigh tens of thousands of pounds! We thought, so many treasures are definitely not safe in Xiaoxiaolongjiazhuang so close to the capital! Therefore, we sold the ancestral house and real estate of the Long family! After we got tens of thousands of taels of silver, we bought a large cargo ship of Qiantang merchants in the south of the Yangtze River at the Grand Canal Wharf next to Longjiazhuang! Since the shipwrights working on the ship are also from Qiantang, we still hire them as shipwrights! We moved the more than 150 boxes of treasures onto the ship, as well as the carriage and horses on the big ship, and we also moved some valuable belongings, as well as food and various ingredients for the people and horses on the ship to eat and drink, and then I got on the boat with Hugu and a dozen cronies! After that, we sailed south along the canal! ”

The Innocent Daoist said with a flushed face and panting, and the Tiger Aunt smiled and said, "Alas! Father! Let's have tea! I'll say, alas, this canal is not very peaceful! Along the way, we encountered several river bandits barrage and robbery! If it weren't for the martial arts skills of my father and those brothers and sisters in my own sect, we would have become a meal for these river bandits! Therefore, we stopped and walked until the twelfth lunar month of last year, when we entered the Huai River waterway! After we entered the waterway, the various inspection teams of the government spent the whole day in the river and on the wharf to check the passing boats, so we went back to the bureaucracy! In the conversation with the official messenger during the investigation process, we knew that Goldfish Eye and several other bosses and robbers who conspired to steal the treasures of the palace were captured by the inspector Zhen Wuneng of the Imperial Court Criminal Department! Because, Boss Jin, they couldn't stand the torture, so they confessed! They told Zhen Wuneng where the treasure was hidden! Oh, the place where Boss Jin told Zhen Wuneng is where we got the treasure! Therefore, we feel that if we sail under the noses of these inspectors, sooner or later they will find out the problem! Fortunately, the boatmen we hired are very familiar with the various conditions of this waterway! They know to take some remote waterways to avoid the search and interrogation of the government! Therefore, we began to walk day and night, east, west, north and south, around the waterways of small rivers and lakes, and made a difficult and slow way to the southeast! When we encounter the official waterways and wharves that we can't avoid, we can only sneak around the boat at night! In this way, we did not enter the Yangtze River waterway until around Qingming this year! Because there are a lot of river bandits and government offices in the Yangtze River waterway! Therefore, we had to hide and sail on the river and water, and it was not until June of this lunar calendar that we passed through the Taihu Lake Canal and safely entered the boundary of Qiantang County! After we docked at the West Gate Wharf of Qiantang City, through the introduction of a local boatman, I started to buy a big mansion from a senior official who had been disarmed and returned to the field! This house is located not far from Ximen Wharf, and we only spent 50,000 taels of silver! That mansion is already as big as your Shuntian Mansion! The furniture and daily necessities inside are very complete, and the officials who bought the house gave these things to us! Therefore, we have moved all the treasures, goods, vehicles, and horses from the ship to this house! After we settled into our new home in Qiantang, the locals told us that there was only one Xianyuan Town next to the Zhenwu Temple in Yinshan, Jiangnan, so my father and I chose a sturdy carriage that we brought from the capital, and we drove the carriage here to find you! Unexpectedly, you also arranged for a cat to look for us on the streets of Xianyuan Town! Alas! It's been more than a year, and that's probably it! ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Alas! Tiger Aunt, Innocent Dao Chief! You have left your hometown and run to a remote place like Jiangnan! Thank you so much! You didn't arouse the suspicion of the government on the road, did you?! ”

The Innocent Daoist said, "There shouldn't be! We did use the gold and silver coins that Boss Gold had hidden on the way, but they had already been re-fused, purified, and molded! Therefore, these gold and silver coins are not visible from the outside! However, numismatic inspectors say they are very pure! Our 20 or so horses and more than a dozen carriages are the private property of our Taoist sect, and these horses are foals that we bought from the bearded people outside the gate and raised them ourselves! Therefore, they are registered in the official horse file! In terms of identity, Hu Gu is just a woman who sells baked cakes in the capital, and no one will associate her with these treasures! And my Innocent Daoist is the Taoist master of Zhen Wuneng's great official, and he arranged for me to go to prison as an errand boy! I'm old, and the prison has long disliked me, so it's normal for me to leave the prison! Today, the drought and insect plague in the north are severe! Therefore, it is not only our Long family who has fled to the south! According to my analysis and judgment, the case of palace theft is basically over! ”

Ah Long said: "Innocent Dao Chief! In this way, we will survive a catastrophe! However, now, my situation as a dragon cold wind is not too good! After I married Guo Ruyu, the Dragon Mansion kicked me out of the Dragon Mansion and let me set up another door in the Shuntian Mansion! Now, I have a lot of family and career troubles to deal with! The Long family is a big warlord and a big bully in Xianyuan Town! I really don't want you to get involved in my troubled waters! Tiger Aunt, Innocent Dao Chief! Tomorrow, you should return to Qiantang Town, and you will rely on those properties to develop your own future! Leave me alone, and I'll come back to you when I'm done with things! ”

The tiger aunt said, "Ah Long! How does this work?! You are our dear! We do all these things for you! How can we monopolize the benefits of this money and live a peaceful life by ourselves, leaving you here alone and fighting with a bunch of wicked people?! In the past two days, we have heard some things about the Long family in Xianyuan Town! Long Tianwei and his sons of the three fierce generations are indeed a group of vicious wolves! Tell us about your current difficulties! Let's help you figure it out! After you get through the current difficulties, you can go to Qiantang City with us to live and develop your career! Now, we have enough money to do a lot of things! ”

So, Ah Long told Hu Gu and the Innocent Daoist about his situation in the Long family, Guo Ruyu's situation in the Guo family, their current family property situation, and the family's current business and income!

The chief of the innocent path said, "Alas! Ah, Ah! Now, your situation is quite beautiful in the eyes of ordinary outsiders! However, there are turbulent waves hidden behind your situation! The last thing you want to give up right now is the assets and rental income you own on the street! But you have to get rid of this hot property quickly! Now, with your strength and ability alone, you are no match for a local bully like Long Tianwei! Although you have five years of rent to collect, this rent may not be able to be collected smoothly! You should find a way to sell this shopping street as soon as possible and completely! It's best that you sell the property in Suncheonfu too! Xianyuan Town is too close to the Yangtze River waterway, and Xianyuan Town is rich in products and outstanding people! In the future, here will definitely be a strong dragon and a land snake, fighting viciously to grab the turf! This kind of place is not a place to live a peaceful life, so you must do things as soon as possible and get out of this place as soon as possible! Go to Qiantang to live in a place like that! After you are plump, if you feel that Xianyuan Town is suitable for you, you can come back and fight them! In the past, Qiantang belonged to the five dynasties of the Southern Tang Kingdom, it was far away from the Central Plains, and it was also very remote, in ancient times, Qiantang was the hometown of the Yue Kingdom, although the Yue people were suppressed and excluded by the Wu and Chu people for a long time, but, after thousands of years of humanistic running-in, the people there have been integrated into the Central Plains culture! Moreover, the products and literati there are more developed than Xianyuan Town! Moreover, the prices in Qiantang are much cheaper than in Xianyuan Town! Therefore, it should be better for you to live in Qiantang than in Xianyuan Town! ”

Ah Long said: "Innocent Dao Chief! You say that, I get it! I mean to sell the property as soon as possible! After your analysis just now, I also know that in the future, our foothold will be in Qiantang! However, dealing with family property is a big thing, and it may not be possible to do it in a year and a half! Plus, my wife Guo Ruyu is pregnant! Therefore, I want to wait for Guo Ruyu to give birth to a child before she can go to Qiantang with us! If all these things are done, it will not be until next year's Qingming Festival, maybe at that time, we will be able to move our family to Qiantang County to settle down! ”

The Innocent Dao Master smiled and said, "Ah Long! If you can do this way, it's already very fast! At that time, you must have moved a lot of things and people, and at that time, we can sail from Qiantang to Hugua Ferry in Xianyuan County! In this way, it will be much more convenient for you to go to Qiantang County! ”

Tiger Gu smiled and said, "Dad! So be it! Now, you're Aaron's advisor! You, Long Jiancheng, Long Jianbang and other two brothers stayed in the Shuntian Mansion to assist Ah Long in his errands! Tomorrow afternoon, I will take the two sisters, Long Jinhua and Long Jinlan, back to Qiantang! We will help you defend the base camp of Qiantang! Father! What do you think of me?! ”

The Innocent Daoist smiled and said, "Alas! My daughter is smarter than his dad! Do as you wish! After you return to Qiantang, you take care of the more than a dozen people in your family and the boat and other assets! Then, you go to Qiantang Town to inspect and see if there is any suitable industry and business for us in the market. ”

Hu Gu smiled and said, "Okay! Let's work together! Father! In the future, if you want our help here, you will let Jiancheng and Jianbang go and report to us!" ”

Ah Long smiled and said, "Tiger Aunt! Innocent Dao Chief! Now, it's been three shifts! Hugu, they have to rush back to Qiantang County tomorrow, so you better go to the guest room in Shuntian Mansion to rest early! ”

The tiger girl smiled and said, "Alas! Ah, Ah! That kid named Ah Mao is such a clever person! As soon as we arrived in Suncheonfu, he will arrange two large guest rooms and a small courtyard for us to settle us! Now, Jinhua and Orchid, Jiancheng and Jianbang are definitely asleep in the guest room! ”

So, Ah Long went to the outer gate to call Ah Mao and the servants, and asked them to take the tiger aunt and the chief of the innocent path to the guest room to rest.

At this time, Ah Mao and a few servants were already sitting on the stools next to the corridor and napping!

"Huh! Isn't it dawn! Ah Cat said in horror after being pushed awake by Ah Long!

Aaron smiled and said, "Alas! Cat! You're sleepy! Hurry up and send the Tiger Aunt and the Innocent Daoist to the guest room at home to rest! ”

Then, Ah Mao and a few servants took the tiger girl to the guest room in the house!
