Chapter 51: Smuggling
Immediately, Han Yue gave Xue Hu a look, Xue Hu was a little unsure, but Xiao Siqi caught it, she was smart in her heart, and knew that Han Yue must have some private things arranged, so she didn't bother, and thanked and promised to repay Han Yue and others for saving their lives, and then left with Xiao Yishan.

Only Han Yue, Xue Hu, Xue Yan, and Wang Erkui were left in the house, Han Yue took out the package, everyone was a little puzzled, and then, Han Yue did something that surprised everyone, he took out the dagger and untied the clothes on his shoulder, and slashed it hard, and immediately the blood flowed, and the wound that was pierced by Mao Wenlong's spear split again, Han Yue endured the pain and ordered Wang Erkui, who was already stupid, to arrange a carriage to send him out for medical treatment.
"Uncle Xue, Brother Xue, no matter what happens or what you encounter later, please be sure to listen to my arrangement."
Although Xue Hu didn't know why Han Yue was like this, but knowing that Han Yue was by no means crazy, Xue Yan opened his mouth wide and nodded subconsciously.
Wang Erkui quickly arranged the carriage, Han Yue covered his wound and sat on it accompanied by Xue Hu and Xue Yan, during which he did not forget to be safe Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yishan who came out when they heard the movement, and told them that it was not a big problem if the old wound was cracked.
After the carriage drove to a remote corner, Han Yue took out the four Cui Mansion guard coats in the package for everyone to change into, and then whispered the secrets in the Cui Mansion study and his plan.
In addition to Xue Hu's accident, Xue Yan and Wang Erkui both dropped their jaws in shock.
Tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver jewelry!
Xue Yan licked his lips, and Wang Erkui trembled a little.
……
Ji Manru was a little uneasy in the room all day, and when she heard the report from the housekeeper in the backyard that Cui Zuyao had sent someone to fetch some things from the manor, Ji Manru was so shocked that she got up from the couch.
After calming down a little, Ji Manru took Xiaoru to the side gate of the backyard, only to see four guards waiting with a carriage.
"They are the guards in the Zhuangzi, and the master is going to live in the Zhuangzi for a while recently, and he ordered some commonly used things in the study to be transported to the Zhuangzi." Ji Manru said to the steward with a calm face, in fact, he was already nervous in his heart, because Han Yue happened to be among the four guards.
The steward saw that Han Yue and the four of them were indeed dressed as guards, and since the fifth lady who was the most favored said so, there must be no problems, so he ordered his subordinates to open the side door and let the carriage in.
"When you're going to move things, you don't need helpers." Ji Manru is a master after all, and he has his own bearing when he speaks.
The steward's face was embarrassed: "Fifth lady, this... I'm afraid something is wrong. ”
"The master's study is all confidential and valuable, if these subordinates go in and carry and transport anything, can you afford it?" Ji Manru's face was indignant, and the tone of his voice became a little heavier.
The steward was so frightened that he hurriedly bent down to make amends.
In this way, Ji Manru led Han Yue and the four of them to Cui Zuyao's study, and asked Xiaoru to guard the door and not let anyone in.
Seeing Ji Manru skillfully open the secret door of the secret room, everyone except Han Yue had a look of sudden realization on their faces, thinking that seventy or eighty thousand taels of gold and silver were hidden inside, even Xue Hu was a little excited in his heart.
Following Ji Man to the secret room, Han Yue opened the boxes one by one, and the whole box of gold, silver and jewelry inside suddenly made the secret room glow.
Wang Erkui's eyes were straight, touching the golden nude, his hands kept trembling, Xue Yan grabbed a handful of jewelry, and muttered: "Straight lady thief, how much white rice can these be exchanged for!" ”
Only Xue Hu showed a hint of discoloration when he opened the box, and the rest of the time he stood firmly on Han Yue's side for half a step, without any abnormal behavior.
Han Yue saw everyone's performance, this was also a test, unfortunately Wang Erkui and Xue Yan's performance made him a little disappointed, but Han Yue was quickly relieved, after all, for them who were used to being poor, this was undoubtedly a dream.
Of course, what made him happy was Xue Hu's performance, don't look at the half-step standing on Han Yue's side is just a very subtle action, but the underlying meaning is very intriguing: These gold, silver and jewelry are all Shaoheng yours, I, Xue Hu, stand firmly on your side, and never have any greed, please rest assured.
"My lord, without further ado, we must move these jewels as soon as possible." Xue Hu said to Han Yue, and his address was changed from 'Shaoheng' to 'Adult', indicating that this was a business matter and obeyed Han Yue's arrangement.
Ahem, Han Yue coughed lightly, and Wang Erkui and Xue Yan, who were a little lost, reacted, scratching their heads one by one and laughing dryly.
"Today's incident was done by everyone at the risk of killing their heads, I, Han Yue, promise here that everyone present, including Ji Xiaoniang, will have a share, and after the matter subsides, these gold, silver and jewelry will be divided into five points, and each person will get a share." Han Yue said to everyone with a smile.
A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of Wang Erkui and Xue Yan, and Ji Manru had been in a daze with his heart on Han Yue since he entered the secret room.
"These gold, silver and jewelry belong to adults, and we dare not divide them equally." Xue Hu arched his hand and excused himself.
Wang Erkui and Xue Yan, who reacted, also hurriedly expressed their unacceptability, and Han Yue saw that everyone refused, and this was not a place to discuss, so he put this suggestion on hold and arranged for everyone to start shipping.
Xue Hu pondered for a while and said slowly, "My lord, I have a suggestion. ”
"Uncle Xue, you say."
"We can't take all of this possessions."
"Why did Uncle Xue suggest this?" Han Yue asked puzzled.
"Imagine, sir, if Cui Zuyao is defeated by Mao Chenglu today, then Cui Mansion will be raided by Mao Chenglu, with Mao Chenglu's greedy character, he will definitely dig three feet into the ground to find out Cui Zuyao's savings, if he finds that the secret room is empty, then it will definitely make him suspicious, although we are dressed as Cui Mansion Manor guards today, but if someone wants to check, we can still find clues, and then our suspicion will not be cleared, and Mao Chenglu will target us." Xue Hu told his reasoning.
To give up some or even most of the gold, silver and jewelry, Han Yue was unwilling in his heart, but when he thought of Mao Chenglu's ruthless triangular eyes, he shuddered in his heart.
In the final analysis, it is still too little of your own power.
Some things can't be eaten in one bite, and if you hold on, you will inevitably die of strangulation.
"Thank you Uncle Xue for reminding me, Shaoheng is almost in danger." Han Yue slammed Xue Hu to the ground, in addition to thanking Xue Hu for alerting him, he also admired Xue Hu from the bottom of his heart: in the face of temptation, keep his heart, recognize his own strength and make the most appropriate arrangements and suggestions, this is the demeanor of a general!
In the face of Han Yue's gift, Xue Hu stroked his beard and accepted it with a smile, which is appreciation, love, and loyalty.
In the end, everyone discussed, half of the gold, silver and jewelry were kept and half of them were transported, although Wang Erkui and Xue Yan were a little reluctant, but under the insistence of Han Yue and Xue Hu, there was no objection.
As for Ji Manru, looking at those foolish eyes, she knew that money was really not what she cared about now.
Thanks to Xue Hu's suggestion, although it is only half of the goods, 1,600 taels of gold, 18,000 taels of silver and half a box of jewelry weigh 1,500 catties (1), even if Han Yue, Xue Hu, Xue Yan are strong and strong, plus Wang Erkui also carried them back and forth several times before they were transported, if they were all moved away, not to mention that they were exhausted, the carriage might fall apart, even so, Han Yue looked at the sunken wheels, and was worried about whether the horses could be pulled.
In the end, Ji Manru saw that Han Yue was a little worried, so he relieved his worries and called the steward to bring another carriage from the house, which was much easier.
(1) Ming Dynasty 16 taels per catty.
