Qi Ning put the secret letter into his arms, and saw that there were still a few letters below, opened them and swept them one by one, but they were all oaths of allegiance from some officials to the king of Huainan, Qi Ning knew that he didn't have time to read them here, so he put all the letters in his arms and put the empty box back in its original place.

He checked it again, but he didn't find anything else, and he was a little disappointed, but there were many treasures and the secret letter of Li Hongxin, the king of Shu, which was also a great gain.

Dou Kui has been guarding the edge of the cave, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Qi Ning out, and at this time, he heard footsteps outside, and heard the humanitarian: "Search carefully here, don't miss a place." ”

Qi Ning immediately glanced at Dou Kui, Dou Kui understood, quickly arrived at the door, opened the door, and there were soldiers who were about to come up and kick the door, and when they saw Dou Kui, they were all stunned, Dou Kui put his hands behind his back, coughed: "This is the Buddha Hall, the official has checked it, and there is nothing special." The Buddha hall is a pure place, don't offend here. ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly bowed and hurriedly retreated.

Dou Kui closed the door and came back, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, they are all gone, ...... here?" ”

"What Lord Dou said is true." Qi Ning naturally wouldn't tell him about the secret letter, and sighed lightly: "The real treasures of the Huainan Palace's mansion are all hidden under here. There is a secret room below, which should be the place where the crown prince of Huainan hides the best treasures, and there are really a lot of them, do you want Lord Dou to go down and take a look? ”

Dou Kui hurriedly smiled and said, "It's good that Master Hou has seen it." He lowered his voice and said, "Master Hou, since the treasure room is here, you can't let people come here anymore." Xia Guan was worried that Sima Lan's old guy was also worried about the treasures of Huainan Palace, and maybe he would have to get involved, and the treasures of this treasure room would have to be transferred. ”

"What is the best way for Lord Dou?" Qi Ning asked with a smile, walked to the Buddha shrine as he spoke, stretched out his hand and twisted the lotus seat, and restored it to its original state, and the big stone slab immediately closed automatically, without the slightest flaw at all.

Dou Kui thought for a while before he said, "Master Hou, these treasures are extraordinary, and they can't be seen by others." ”

"That's what I mean, too." Qi Ning said with a smile: "If you turn around and let people come to this Buddha hall to take away the treasures, there will be many people, and they will inevitably spread out, and this batch of treasures is best transported out unnoticed." After a deep groan, he said, "Lord Dou, can you come up with any good ideas?" ”

Dou Kui thought for a while, lowered his voice and said: "Those belongings outside can be transported away by packing trucks, and the lower officials have a way to deliver what belongs to Hou Ye to you." However, once the treasures in the treasure room enter the household, everyone knows that they are the best treasures that King Huainan has treasured for many years, and it is not easy to deal with them. If Sima Lan sent someone to secretly target it, it would be even worse. After thinking for a while, he said softly: "Master Hou, this batch of treasures can only be smuggled out." ”

"Smuggling?"

Dou Kui nodded and said, "After confiscating the palace today, all the other items were transported away, making people think that Wang Fu had already copied it." Then we secretly took away these treasures and secretly transported them to the Jinyi Marquis Mansion. ”

Qi Ning also groaned slightly, and then said, "Are you sure?" ”

"The lower official has a plan." Dou Kui said in a low voice: "Master Hou, tomorrow is the day of the emperor's wedding, all the officials in the court and the central government will naturally go to the palace to celebrate, and the eldest lady of the Sima family will also enter the palace as a concubine, Sima Lan and his son will naturally attach great importance to it, at least tomorrow will not pay attention to this, according to the convention, the palace will be dispersed very late, and the officials will leave first when the time comes. ”

Qi Ning smiled: "That's a good idea. ”

"But it's the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion who are in trouble." Dou Kui frowned and said, "The lower officials are worried that in order to protect the safety of the prince, the emperor may let Chi Fengdian stay here with some Yulin soldiers. Chi Fengdian is a person, Xia Guan is really a little confused, but Xia Guan always feels that he will not be with us, so we still have to be more wary of this person. ”

Qi Ning knew that in the changes in the imperial tomb, Chi Fengdian could be said to be very important.

King Huainan dared to start a rebellion in the imperial mausoleum, in the final analysis, there is an important reason because of Chi Fengdian, the king of Huainan obviously felt that Chi Fengdian would take the lead for him in advance, as long as Chi Fengdian stood on the side of the king of Huainan, the change in the imperial tomb was very likely to succeed, at least at that time, Sima Lan and his son could be quickly controlled, and then even if the black knife battalion arrived, it was too late.

But Chi Fengdian was unexpected, and at the most critical time, it was not used by the king of Huainan, and because of this, the ending of the king of Huainan was already doomed.

King Huainan was able to bet the treasure on Chi Fengdian, there must have been an agreement in advance, and in order to let no one restrain Chi Fengdian, King Huainan spent his time transferring Wu Dalin from the Yulin camp, which shows his trust in Chi Fengdian, but Chi Fengdian obviously violated the previous agreement, which made King Huainan discouraged.

Qi Ning still can't judge whether Chi Fengdian didn't go with King Huainan in the end, whether it was because Chi Fengdian was really loyal to Longtai or because of the Sima family.

If it's the former, it's fine, if Chi Fengdian secretly colludes with the Sima family, the matter will be much more serious.

Chi Fengdian betrayed the King of Huainan, which naturally made the group of people under the King of Huainan hate him, and Dou Kui had a grudge against Chi Fengdian in his heart, which was also a matter of course.

Qi Ning thought for a moment before saying, "You don't have to worry about this, I will let my people replace the Yulin Battalion to guard the palace, so that it can be convenient for you to act." ”

Dou Kui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then it's great." ”

Qi Ning put his hands behind his back, stared at Dou Kui's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Lord Dou, with all due respect, if you send this batch of treasures to Zhen Guogong, I don't know if Zhen Guogong will regard you as a cronie?" ”

Dou Kui was stunned for a moment, then he was shocked, and "Puff Tong" knelt on the ground, "Master Hou, Xiaguan.... How could Xia Guan do this. If.... If it weren't for the marquis in the imperial mausoleum, Xia Guan would be afraid that he would already be in prison, and Xia Guan.... Xia Guan is grateful for the kindness of the Hou Ye, and he is afraid that he will not be able to repay him if he is a cow and a horse in this life, so he will never dare to ..... I will never dare to betray Hou Ye, and please ask Hou Ye to investigate. ”

Qi Ning stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Lord Dou, don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else, don't be careful." ”

Dou Kui said embarrassedly: "Master Hou, the lower official..... Xia Guan did some things that he shouldn't have done before, and now he regrets it. Xia Guan has no second thoughts about Hou Ye now, as long as Hou Ye orders, he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire, and please believe Hou Ye this time. ”

Qi Ning was dozens of years younger than Dou Kui, but he raised his hand and patted Dou Kui's shoulder, and said gently: "Lord Dou, since you say this, I will also say something to you." If you really do things for me, I can guarantee that you will be as safe as a mountain in the position of the head of the household, if you ...... I mean, in case, if Lord Dou thinks it's inappropriate to follow me, as long as you tell me in advance, I won't stop you, but if you're like Qian Raoshun, I really can't accept it. He smiled faintly: "Qian Raoshun is two-faced and three-faced, and the end is to be dismissed from office, if Lord Dou can't stand me one day, I will really be angry, and the end may not be as good as Qian Raoshun." ”

He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as a blade, Dou Kui touched Qi Ning's gaze, his heart sank, and he said categorically: "Hou Ye, if Dou does something that can't stop Hou Ye, there will be five thunders in the sky, and it will be .....!" Gritting his teeth, he said solemnly: "I still cut off my children and grandchildren!" ”

Qi Ning knew that people in this era also took oaths very seriously, not to mention that even the poisonous oath of "cutting off children and grandchildren" was issued, this Dou Kui didn't seem to have two thoughts about himself, and said with a smile: "Lord Dou is serious, serious." He lowered his voice and said, "There is only a cloud above my head, it's the emperor!" ”

"There is only a cloud on the head of the lower official, it is Master Hou." Dou Kui said immediately.

Qi Ning laughed, didn't say much, and went out, Dou Kui immediately followed behind him.

There are many palaces in Huainan Palace, until dusk, there are still many places in Wuzi that have not been searched, and the property found out has been packed up after registration, and the carriage and horse have been transferred from the end of the household, and some of the items have been loaded and transported away.

According to the usual practice, the family members of the prisoners should be sent to the criminal department for disposal, the exile of the exile, the distribution of the distribution, the criminal department Da Xichong asked people to come over early this morning, if they want to take away the family members of the palace, no one will stop them, but Da Xichong came directly to the prince Xiao Shaozong, Qi Ning naturally could not agree, after being injured and carried back, the people of the criminal department seemed to forget to come and take away the prisoner's family.

Qi Ning is only responsible for copying the palace, and how to send the family is not within Qi Ning's task, Chi Fengdian came over to ask Qi Ning how to send it, Qi Ning said that he would do it according to the law of the country and return it to Chi Fengdian, Chi Fengdian could only send someone to Kyoto Mansion to find Tie Zheng, and let Tie Zheng send someone over to escort a prisoner to the prison of the Criminal Department.

Originally, only Xiao Shaozong was left in the palace, but considering Xiao Shaozong's condition, the doctor named Yuan Moli also stayed, Xiao Shaozong was not in good health, Yuan Moli took care of him, Qi Ning discussed with Chi Fengdian, and finally left two inconsequential servants to take care of Xiao Shaozong's life.

This is not a big deal, Chi Fengdian obviously knows that the emperor still cares about Xiao Shaozong, so he does not object.

When it gets dark, the palace has been lit up, and some valuables have almost been copied out, but if some inconsequential things, you can only make some records first, and then go back and deal with it, after all, tomorrow is the emperor's wedding, after tonight, in order to ask for auspicious luck, naturally you can't continue to copy the house.

Qi Ning sat in the hall drinking tea, and Dou Kui, who had been busy for most of the day, finally came in with a bunch of lists, approached Qi Ning's side, and sighed: "Master Hou, the family wealth that King Huainan has accumulated over the years is really a lot. According to preliminary estimates, it is no less than three million taels of silver. Leaning closer to his ear and whispering: "Not even the treasures in the treasure room, in addition, he has some shops outside, these are not on the bill, the lower official will find a way to turn them all into cash, if nothing else, there are still three or five hundred thousand taels of silver." ”

Qi Ning was also a little surprised, after all, he had a little understanding of the finances of the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, as one of the four hereditary candidates, the Jinyi Qi family was also the gate of high-ranking officials in the Chu State, but throughout the year, even the food was only tens of thousands of taels of silver, but today he copied out millions of taels of silver from the Huainan Palace, which is really surprising.
