Chapter 352: Where the hell is the vault
"Have you ever followed Qu Boyi or Mrs. Liu to any place? When they use horses? Tong Xiaowu continued to ask.
Xiao Lizi lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time, and Mama Zhang on the side saw this scene and asked again, "Why don't you speak, the princess asks you?" Have you ever been to any strange places with them when they were using horses and vehicles? ”
Xiao Lizi still didn't speak, he lowered his head and bit his lip, but he didn't know what to say.
"Alright, you go down!" Tong Xiaowu saw that this kid was very honest, he knew some things, but he didn't want to betray his master, and he didn't want to lie, so he refused to speak.
On one side, someone took him down, and then asked some more people, but the next person didn't ask anything after all the questions.
After that, I started to ask people with higher ranks, these people are more slippery, and they don't know anything.
In the end, one of Qu Boyi's concubines was more timid, and only said that there was a cellar at home, and the entrance was in the main house.
When Tong Xiaowu heard this, she hurriedly asked Mama Zhang to inform the front yard, and Xuanyuan Yuchen in front asked people to hurry up and check, and sure enough, they found some things, but some jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and thousands of taels of silver tickets.
Although these are beyond the offerings issued to him by his imperial court, the large amount of gold and silver that he has embezzled over the years has not been discovered, and it seems that this is not the main corruption stronghold.
After another interrogation, there was still no gain, and the people around Qu Boyi, such as Mrs. Liu, Qu Guan's mouth was very strict, and they couldn't ask at all.
They also saw that today was a matter of life and death, as long as they survived, it would be Xuanyuan Yuchen's sin, and if they confessed, it would be their death.
They didn't know, in fact, Xuanyuan Yuchen had already obtained the evidence that they had hidden in their study and communicated with Beiming, and their death was certain.
It's just that, in addition to this, Xuanyuan Yuchen has a clearer goal, that is, the treasury!
It will soon be dawn, and after daybreak the gates will be wide open, and those who are inside will go out, and those who are outside will come in.
When the time comes, Qu Boyi's people will go and inform Trull that the two of them are grasshoppers on a rope, and it will be even more difficult to find their secret vault at that time.
As time went by, Tong Xiaowu became more and more nervous, did she give up like this? Could it be that there are only those calligraphy and painting antiques found in the basement of Qufu, and the silver tickets of 3,000 taels?
You must know that there are also businessmen among Qu Boyi's relatives, and if they say that they were sent by relatives, they will have no way to prove it.
"What to do? Princess, what to do? On the other hand, Mama Zhang rubbed her fingers anxiously, "Seeing that the sky is about to dawn!" ”
The arrest of Qu Boyi happened very suddenly, and it was also because of the attack of the Northern Underworld, Xuanyuan Yuchen was so angry that he suddenly wanted to get rid of this cancer, and he would arrest him.
I've investigated before, and I've secretly looked for someone to keep an eye on them, but unfortunately there is still no clue about the vault.
Today, the attack of the Northern Underworld is an opportunity, Xuanyuan Yuchen naturally can't let go of this opportunity, this is the best time to deal with Qu Boyi.
It's just that after a night of hard work, although they found evidence and could convict Qu Boyi of capital crime, the treasury is the most important thing.
"Princess, what should I do?"
"It seems that he can only be convicted of capital crimes today, and the others can only look at the opportunities in the future, but if Trul knows about this, if he knows the location of Qu Boyi's vault, it will be troublesome.
If they are angry and give this money to the people of the Northern Underworld and take refuge in them, then we will lose more than we gain, so it is better to keep Qu Boyi! ”
"Now that the evidence of his collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country is complete, he will definitely not be able to stay!" Mama Zhang on the side sighed slightly.
"Maybe we're in a hurry!" At this time, Tong Xiaowu sighed slightly.
"Princess......
Suddenly, a low voice came from outside the door, Mama Zhang stepped forward to open the door, and there was a horse herd Xiao Li Zi from Qufu standing outside, he was wearing a new cotton shirt and cotton pants, and he looked a little restrained.
"Mama, I have something I want to see the princess."
Mama Zhang nodded again and again, "Okay, the princess is inside, come in!" ”
"See the princess, I have something to say......" Xiao Lizi knelt on the ground, looking nervous.
"Please!" When Tong Xiaowu saw him, hope rose in his eyes.
"Ten miles south of Beizhou City, there is a barren mountain, the ancestral tomb of the Qu family is located on this barren mountain, don't look at the poor jingle of the Qu family's mansion, but the Qu prefect's envelope feng shui, this ancestral tomb is built with a special style.
Except for a few graves, the rest of the place was built like a mansion, and there were people he trusted to look after it.
Lord Qu would go there almost once every two or three days, and every time he went, he didn't worship his ancestors, but went directly to the backyard, so he thought that maybe there was something that Lord Qu was particularly concerned about. ”
After Xiao Lizi finished speaking, he lowered his head, "When he and Mrs. Liu went, they didn't take anyone else except for the two officers and soldiers with them, of course, I, the stable, sometimes go, but they were all responsible for driving the carriage and feeding the horses, but I didn't go into that house!" ”
Tong Xiaowu stood up, "Mama Zhang, you hurry up and tell King Xuan the news, and Xiao Lizi also goes, for his safety, you put on makeup for him, don't let people recognize him."
Xiao Lizi, don't worry, after this matter is resolved, after everything calms down, I will definitely give you a reward, and the rest will trouble you! ”
"Princess, don't say this, you gave me cotton clothes and let people cook for me, I am really grateful to you, thank you!" Xiao Lizi looked shy, looked at Tong Xiaowu in front of him and said.
"It's me who thank you, hurry up!"
She looked back at Xiaohe, "How long will it take to open the city gate?" ”
"About half an hour!" Xiaohe looked at the water leak on the other side, which was taken from the capital and was specially used to calculate time.
"Uh-huh, I should be able to make it!"
This time, Xuanyuan Yufeng personally led the team, out of the city gate, all the way to the south, when he traveled about ten miles, after passing through a dense forest area, he saw the luxurious tomb, although this tomb was luxurious, but there was a problem at first glance.
Outside, three large tombs guarded the door of the house, with pillars in front and a courtyard behind, the gate was closed, and the sky was already dark, and someone was sweeping the courtyard with a broom.
"Lord Wang, there are still five people guarding here!" Xiao Lizi on the side said.
"Scatter!" Xuanyuan Yuchen waved his hand, and the more than twenty people who came with him were divided into four squads and surrounded this Yin Mansion from four directions.
"Zhang Quan, can you see anything?"
