Chapter 27: Li Ping'er's Self-Help (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Before Cao Jun could make a move, Zhang Zhisi found a sheet out of nowhere and went inside.
At the end, he tied a knot, and was contented to toss in his hand, firmly behind his back.
The originally red face returned to normal.
When he saw Cao Jun staring at him with a strange expression, his old face suddenly turned red, and he coughed seriously, "Cao Dutou, we don't have much time, let's see what else is inside." ”
After being reminded by him, Cao Jun remembered what was going on at the moment.
The two of them were going to pick some fruits and hide them in their pockets before the people of the magistrate arrived.
This is not the time to communicate special fetishes.
After removing the upper layer of underwear, the bottom of the box quickly bottomed out, and to the disappointment, what followed were bottles and jars with words such as 'Dragon Tiger Pill' and 'Sending Child Guanyin Pill'.
Although he doesn't understand pharmacology, but through the literal meaning, Cao Jun also guessed eight or nine.
This is the dependence of Ximen Qing's wives and concubines, and singing songs night and night.
That is, the so-called Huiyuan Kidney Treasure + Thirty-six Flavor Emperor Pill in later generations.
These things...... Barely of some value.
After all, what can be treasured in the treasure house by Ximenqing is probably at the level of secret medicine, but I don't know if there are any side effects.
Find a pharmacy to secretly test it another day.
Cao Jun and Zhang Zhisi glanced at each other, and no one was polite, and one and a half of them directly shared the light.
Next, there is another wooden box with gold trim.
Squeak.
The box opened.
Cao Jun and Zhang Zhisi leaned over at the same time, and their heads were almost leaning together.
"Yikes!"
Both of them were almost dazzled by the jewels in the box.
It was full of yellow gold ingots, neatly stacked in rows, occupying almost half of the space.
On top of the gold ingots, scattered jewelry and jewels lay on one side, and on the other side are stacked silver tickets and various title deeds.
Almost in no particular order, the two reached out and grabbed the silver ticket.
Although the title deed and jewelry are valuable, they are troublesome to realize, and if they are known by the master around the county magistrate, they will inevitably taste it, and once they are blamed, the gains outweigh the losses.
And the gold ingots are the best props left for the county magistrate.
Besides, Yanggu County is also a small place, even if it is a silver ingot, it is usually less in circulation, and it is rarely seen on the market, and there are even fewer gold ingots, which is very eye-catching.
It's better to leave it to the county to fill the tax gap in previous years.
Silver tickets are different, a little more and a little less, and others can't notice it.
Zhang Zhiji also thought of this.
The two of them each grabbed a handful of silver tickets, and the largest denomination in them was 1,000 taels, and there were eight in total, and the rest were 500 taels and 100 taels, which together amounted to about 15,000 taels.
Almost all of the wealth accumulated by the Simon family over several generations is in this box.
Even if he is not the richest man in Yanggu County, I am afraid it is not far behind.
How to divide it?
Although the silver ticket is not easy to detect, it can't be taken all at once.
In the end, Cao Jun and Zhang Zhisi discussed, and the two of them each took 4,000 taels and left half of the silver tickets for Zhixian, which can be regarded as very conscientious.
Both of them are smart people, and neither is greedy enough.
Four thousand taels of silver is also a wealth that ordinary people can't accumulate in a lifetime, and if all of them are exchanged in Yanggu County, I am afraid it will cause fluctuations in local money banks.
This money...... For the time being, I can't spend it.
Or, only a little bit of flowering.
Cao Jun is not in a hurry anyway.
After the two of them carried the silver ticket in their arms, they felt extremely full of their bodies, and they were both smiling.
Even the secret room was filled with happy air.
Zhang Zhusi smiled, patted Cao Jun on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Cao Dutou, come to the cold house to drink another day, you and I will not be outsiders in the future, so you should move around more." ”
Cao Jun was also very good, and replied enthusiastically: "It must be certain, and I will ask Zhang Zhusi to mention more in the future." ”
After the two of them finished greeting, they knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and left the secret room one after the other.
The start switch of the secret room was repaired on the back of the bookshelf, and Zhang Zhisi skillfully pressed the switch, and the door of the secret room was slowly closed, restoring the signs that no one had ever come.
Qi lived.
Li Quan and Zhou Zunfeng were very responsible at the door of the study, and when they saw Cao Jun and Zhang Zhisi walking out side by side, they all threw an inquiring look at Cao Jun.
Cao Jun glanced at them appreciatively and nodded slightly.
All three said no more.
After sharing the spoils with Cao Jun, Zhang Zhisi was very responsible for letting in the documents and secretaries who counted the property on the spot, and then someone from the county took over, and the master might have been on the way over, so there was nothing to do with them.
The two returned to the front yard the way they came.
After a while, the bloodstains and corpses in the front yard had been cleaned up, and even the family members and servants of Ximen Mansion who were imprisoned at the scene were more than half.
After eliminating some servants and helpers who only signed short-term rentals, the rest of them are all unlucky people who were implicated by Ximenqing and wanted to follow.
"Cao Dutou, there is a girl named Ping'er in there who asks someone to bring a message, and she wants to see you by name."
Cao Jun was about to go out when he was stopped by a servant at the door.
Then he was stunned, remembered the promise he had given before, and couldn't help but touch his head in embarrassment, and he didn't know how to place this Li Bei'er for a while.
If you want to say that you directly accept the other party as a concubine, it is equivalent to picking up a young lady who warms the bed for nothing, and Cao Jun is not a loss.
However, he is just an unexpected visitor to this time and space, and after completing the task, he may disappear out of thin air, how will you let the family live in the future?
Can't you marry again?
Anyway, let's get people out first.
Although this Li Bei'er has only met once, his appearance, figure and age are very outstanding, and following him is not an insult to his identity.
That's it!
When the time comes, find a time to make it clear to her, whether to leave or stay, it depends on her own choice.
Soon, Cao Jun saw Li Bei'er, who was full of happiness, in a side room, and with her, there were several other wives and concubines of Ximenqing.
For a while, the warbler Yanyan had a sad look on her face.
Suddenly, seeing Cao Jun coming in, everyone's eyes were fixed on him, and a small number of clever people had already seen the clues, and suddenly rushed to Cao Jun as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"My lord, redeem me too, and be willing to be a cow or a horse."
"My lord, my lord, the concubine used to be the most pleasing to the Ximen officials, and she mastered a lot of ...... skills."
Cao Jun pointed at Li Bei'er without saying a word, the latter's face was full of surprise, his eyes rolled, and he seemed to have a lot to say, but under the gaze of the guards, he had to put away his thoughts, lowered his head and hurriedly followed behind Cao Jun with small steps, and escaped from this suffocating room.
For those others who called for help from him, there were many people in their prime of life, but unfortunately Cao Jun was not short of cattle and horses, and he was not willing to try how good that person's work was...... If you are not afraid of willow disease.
He doesn't have the heart of the Virgin, and he is not a good person, if he hadn't made a promise to Li Bei'er before, he would not have bothered to care about her.
