In addition to these six boxes containing paper items, there are ten other large wooden boxes. Of the ten chests, five were filled with gold, and the other five were all filled with precious jewels. For example, Dongzhu, jade, agate, jade, gemstones, etc., were filled with five large boxes.

This is the second way back for the Sheng family for their children and grandchildren. There are most of the hidden family property in it, as well as a large amount of gold and silver tickets, which is crucial for the subsequent "recovery" of the Sheng family.

It's just that providence makes people, who would have thought that even such a hidden treasure location would be discovered, and money and other things would also be taken out.

Jin Niang sighed, "If the people of the Sheng family know this news, they are afraid that they will be angry to death." ”

"They threw the bones of the people in Jiangji Village into the canal to feed the fish, didn't they almost anger those people to death?"

Jin Niang nodded, feeling that what Xu Erlang said was really reasonable. No wonder the old saying says that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the way of heaven is good for reincarnation. The Sheng family proved this sentence to her with her own behavior, and in the future, she must be cautious in her words and deeds, but she can also enter the path of "the heavens are good reincarnation".

While the couple were eating, Chang'an and Brother Rong came over. After they entered the inner courtyard, they also met the three Changle sisters who happened to come over, so the team that came over became stronger and stronger.

Seeing that Jin Niang and Xu Erlang had only dinner at this time, the children did not show strange looks.

Brother Rong asked the little girl this morning, and knew that his father would return home on the fifth watch, so he would get up early today and get up late. And Changle only learned from Brother Rong that the time of his father's return was because he had breakfast at this time when he saw his parents, and he was not too surprised.

A few children said goodbye, and then sat down in their chairs and talked.

Xu Erlang and Jin Niang had eaten almost enough, so they asked their subordinates to take things down.

When the flower hall became tidy again, and the tea for consumption was served, Brother Rong couldn't wait to ask his father about the follow-up last night.

Originally, they wanted to ask Changping and Su Zheng, but when Xu Erlang returned home yesterday, the two of them were still busy counting all the "gains" of yesterday like the soldiers of the hussar battalion. When they are done with that stubble, I am afraid that it will be dawn. For this reason, Xu Erlang didn't wait for those two, and the truth was not what Xu Erlang expected, Changping and Su Zhengzhen were busy until dawn, and at this time they were sleepy lying in the warehouse while sleeping.

Xu Erlang briefly said what he salvaged from Mirror Lake last night, which attracted the tsks of Chang'an and Brother Rong.

Even Yu'an, who is accustomed to seeing the extravagance and wealth of the Jiangnan family, is a little staggered at this time. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh, no wonder His Majesty was determined to run a family, just two families, he had gathered so much wealth. The silver and gold were taken from the people, but they were not used for them, much less delivered into the treasury according to the statutes. The country of Nuoda must be able to afford to raise such two silverfish, but there are many similar silverfish, and no matter how full the flesh is, sooner or later it will be hollowed out.

Chang'an opened his mouth again, "Second uncle, the treasures of the Li family and the Sheng family have all been obtained, but what about the rest of the families?" ”

Xu Erlang glanced at Chang'an lightly and shook his head slightly, "The treasures of the rest of the families have not been found yet." According to preliminary estimates, the place where they hid their treasure was not in Tongzhou Prefecture. "As for the rest of the place, Xu Erlang has also discussed with the third prince a few times in the past few days. Actually, it's just two places. One is where the family lived, and the other is where the ancestors of these people started.

If you go to these two places early, you will definitely find them a day earlier or later.

Xu Erlang roughly said that several people in Chang'an had a score in their hearts. But he still asked, "Then the three princes will definitely not be able to take away the wealth of the rest of the families this time." ”

This is inevitable, but Xu Erlang couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, "Even if I really find it, I won't touch those things for a while." Just the private collection of the Sheng family and the Li family, it is not easy to transport it safely to the capital. "If the rest of the families are also found and loaded on the ship, I am afraid that the bandits in the entire territory of Daqi, as well as the various forces pretending to be bandits, will come out and show their faces. There are many ants that can bite and kill elephants, which is really unsafe.

Several people in Chang'an also knew what this meant, but it was still a little incredible, "The third prince personally escorted the gold and silver into Beijing, and there were more than 5,000 hussar camp guards to escort it, and then there was a Jiangnan sailor sent by the second uncle to escort it, so this can't guarantee that things will arrive in Beijing safely?" ”

Xu Erlang bowed his head, "The interests are too great, they will be charming, even if all the people in Tongzhou and Jiangzhou use them, they can't stop those people's thoughts from moving." ”

Speaking of this issue, Xu Erlang inevitably has to teach Chang'an and Brother Rong a lesson, they are both people who are going to take the imperial examination, and they should pay special attention to their words and deeds. Those who are officials pay attention to reputation, especially reputation, and they must be cautious. Therefore, there are some things that must not be touched, and if they are touched, there are evil consequences. is like several adults recorded in the Sheng family's account books, two of them have great futures, and even His Majesty is optimistic. But when the three princes returned to Beijing, their situation was worrying.

Chang'an and Brother Rong were preached, and the two listened to each other. They have a string in their heads, and they have all these words engraved in their minds.

Even Changzhou and Changhui, seeing that their father and brother were so solemn, they also had small faces, trying to absorb and understand their father's words. Unfortunately, it was still too young, and what my father said was not very clear, so it was very difficult for them to understand, and in the end, they also knew nothing.

Song Yu'an also listened carefully, although he didn't have to go through the official career, but the problem of "bribery" also existed in Qingyang Academy. He is the next heir of Qingyang Academy, and he has the responsibility and obligation to come up with a solution to make Qingyang Academy a well-deserved No. 1 Academy of Great Qi.

When Xu Erlang and Chang'an were talking, Changle, Xiao Yu'er, and Changqi sat on the side and listened quietly. To say that these have nothing to do with them, but aren't they in charge, who doesn't have a few silverfish?

This kind of person belongs to you who can't see it and don't get upset. But thinking about someone in the family who is so deceitful and deceiving, it is not a good feeling in my heart. They will still be uncomfortable because of the silver that the people in the palace are greedy for, so if the emperor knows that the silverfish in his family are richer than himself, can his eyes be red with hatred?

Xu Erlang has to go to the warehouse of gold and silver today.

It had been discussed before yesterday that if the Sheng family's gold and silver affairs went well, they would be loaded on the ship today, and all those obtained by the Li family would be loaded onto several cargo ships, and the ships would depart early tomorrow morning, and the three princes and the Hubu Shangshu would take people back to Beijing.

Xu Erlang also had to go over to discuss the "escort" with them, but he only talked about it a few days ago, and the details have not yet been decided. Now and in the past, it was decided that I would order the sailors to prepare later.

Xu Erlang left with a few people from Chang'an, leaving Jinniang and Changle in the flower hall.

Changle's research on Lijia's residual prescription has been slightly effective, and now he has made a finished medicine. The drug seemed to have a specific effect on alleviating heart disease, but she couldn't say exactly whether it was or not, and how effective it was. So I was going to go out to find someone to test the medicine, and then I came to talk to Jinniang about going out.

Jin Niang thought about it a little when she heard this, since the incident of hanging the corpse on the city wall, firstly, because of the deterrence, and secondly, most of those little scoundrels died at that time, which made the security of Tongzhou Mansion good and not left any stone unturned, and Changle would not encounter danger when he went out at this time - and then at this time, everyone's attention was on the warehouse, and no one wanted to embarrass the girl of the Governor's Mansion. Even the remnants of those families, thinking about it, will only curse the three princes in secret now, and will not cause unnecessary trouble.

Jin Niang agreed to Changle to go out, and Changqi's big black eyes instantly lit up, "Mother, I'll go out with my sister, my sister is a weak woman, I can protect her." ”

Jin Niang directly refused, "No need, your sister has a literate youth by her side, as well as the guards arranged by your father, so I don't need you." ”

"But I can't beat those people combined."

Jin Niang was choked and suddenly didn't know what to say. What Changqi said was the truth, but this fact made her very congested as a mother.

Changqi saw that her mother didn't refuse this time, she was so clever, and immediately felt that there was a way to do this. Changqi immediately pounced on Jinniang, hugged her waist and coquettishly played a lot, so that Jinniang had no choice, and finally could only agree to accompany her as a little bodyguard. Of course, there are conditions, if she or Changle is injured, then neither of them can go out after that.

Jin Niang looked at Xiao Yu'er again, "Do you want to go out?" ”

Xiao Yu'er waved her hand, "No, mother, do you think everyone is as idle as Changqi." Mother, I'm busy.,I entered the door with your 3D drawing method.,Now it's not bad.。 I'll draw a few more and I'll give me some pointers. ”

It was not too early to speak, Changle hurried out, and Jinniang did not leave the three sisters. She watched the little girls come out of Cuibai Garden, and she went back to the house to clean up briefly, and then prepared to go to see Chen Jiayu.

Coming back from Chen Jiayu, Jin Niang was completely idle. But then she suddenly remembered what Xu Erlang said that the third prince and his party would leave for Beijing tomorrow, didn't that mean that Changping and Su Zheng would go back tomorrow?

Heck, then I'll have to prepare something for the two children to take home.

Not only for them, but also for Xu's father and Xu's mother, Suqian, Qing'er, and some other in-laws and friends in the capital...... No, let the two children bring back so many things, then they can't bring them with them.

There must be a place on the ship where these things can be placed, but they are on an errand, and they take these things with them to occupy the place on the ship, and it is not nice to say it.

If the three princes knew that she had this mind, they would definitely fulfill her. But just send some Tuyi to the capital, or don't waste the favor of the third prince, it's not cost-effective.

Speaking of the three princes, I have to talk about the book of the household, the three princes are nobles, even if there is no king now, there is no specific grade, but the three princes supervise the ministry, Xu Erlang has to "respect" a few points anyway. And Hubu Shangshu is the official of Beijing of Zheng Erpin, and Xu Erlang is the governor of Jiangnan of Zheng Erpin, even if the two are of the same level, they have been recognized since ancient times as an official of the same level, half a level lower than that of Beijing officials.

Both of these men need to be "pleased".

It's a bit serious to say that you're flattering, but it's not wrong to make friends and send more congratulatory gifts to them. It's not strange that many people are there, then she has to prepare something for them to take to the capital.

Jin Niang has a charter for doing things, and because she sends a lot of things to relatives and friends in the capital, she knows what items to send to the third prince and the head of the household.

But in the morning, she had everything in order. Later, I considered it, deleted, reduced, and reduced the things of each family to a carriage.

After doing this, Jin Niang asked the maid to take this congratulatory gift list, and continue to use it when she bids farewell to Lord Ke and Lord Wu next time.

Yes, because the family's charges have not yet been finalized, Master Ke and Lord Wu will not leave for the time being. The two of them will stay in Tongzhou for at least a month, as for whether the affairs of the family can be settled after a month...... No one knows, but it's okay to think about it. The buyer of the iron tools has been found, so there is no need to worry about eradicating these silverfish.

In the evening, Chang Ping and Su Zheng returned to the house with Xu Erlang and the others, and the two boys came back for dinner, and after that, they were ready to go to the boat to keep vigil.

In other words, they are here to leave.

Changping and Su Zheng are very unhappy about this, but they can't help it, aren't they free when they are errands? Besides, so much gold and silver are on the ship, and if they don't watch it with their own eyes, it must be unsafe.

Changping said, "From tonight onwards, until the gold and silver are successfully transported to the treasury, we will all have to live in fear." ”

Su Zheng answered, "It's not just a life of worry, it's just a life with your head up, okay?" ”

This was agreed by Chang'an, Yu'an and Brother Rong. Even Changping sighed and nodded. "Who's here to make us come out this time is these things. Hey, hey, when I saw the mountains of gold and silver, my heart was about to jump out of my chest, but when I thought that these things would be escorted by us personally, and if something happened halfway, I would have to lose my head, I was not excited at all, and I was now full of worries, and I was worried about bad things on the way. If someone picks a ready-made peach, we people will be doomed. ”

Xu Erlang said, "Don't be so pessimistic, I arranged for someone to escort you back." ”

Changping and Su Zheng even looked at them with a large family, "Second uncle, who did you arrange?" How many people were arranged to escort us? ”

"Master Zhang of the Jiangzhou Naval Division, plus 20,000 sailors."

Lord Jiang, Changping and Su Zheng both knew each other, and when they passed through Jiangzhou by boat, this Lord Zhang also came over to greet the third prince. When they got off the boat, the two of them happened to be standing guard by the cabin of the third prince, and they heard the third prince and the head of the household Shangshu say, "Lord Jiang seems to be a reckless man, but in fact, he is thick and fine. He is also the most brave and good at fighting, he is a hardcore royalist, and he is a secret chess arranged by his father in Jiangzhou. ”
