Qinglou Chapter 71: Hidden Gold (3)
The dungeon was empty, in the dark corridor, only the sound from inside could be faintly heard, Yun Ximian strode in front, there was actually a little timidity in her heart, the darkness always made her think of bad things, especially when it was quiet here.
Yun Ximian turned her head to look at Chu Ziqing from time to time, but she was also afraid that he would disappear as he walked, and forgave her for seeing so much horror.
Although Chu Ziqing was a little puzzled, he hadn't opened his mouth to ask yet, and after walking for a short time, the destination in front of him had arrived.
"Real person, why are you here?" Han Rongshu, who was interrogating the assassin, heard the footsteps, and thought it was the assassin's accomplice, and his spirit was tense, but fortunately it was Yun Ximian who came in, and Han Rongshu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm not too reassured, come and have a look." Yun Ximian didn't notice his small movements, tilted his head and looked at the assassin who was tied to the wooden shelf by Wuhuada, his body was full of scars, large and small, and there were several big wounds that were still bleeding, Yun Ximian frowned slightly, turned his head away from looking at him, and asked Han Rongshu: "Did you ask anything?" ”
Although she didn't like what Han Rongshu did, this Han Rongshu was indeed right, and she had no position to accuse others.
Han Rongshu shook his head: "No, his mouth was very hard and he didn't say anything." Even if he used the criminal law all over again, this assassin gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, so as not to hide any poison in his mouth, Han Rongshu had already removed his chin in advance, so that he couldn't bite his tongue and kill himself.
Hearing Han Rongshu say that he had removed the assassin's chin, Yun Ximian's eyes suddenly became complicated, and he silently added: "You removed someone's chin, how can they talk?"
Han Rongshu: "......"
Chu Ziqing: "......"
Assassin who wants to cry without tears, how many lifetimes did I fall to be caught by such a guy with an IQ!
Only then did Han Rongshu, who reacted, suddenly realize, and let the assassin's chin press back again.
Yun Ximian looked at Han Rongshu's movements and was curious, could this be the "bug of encountering the protagonist's IQ becoming negative"?
The assassin was finally able to speak, and his first words were: "Kill me, the emperor will not let you go!" ”
Yun Ximian: "......, okay, the bug has appeared again."
"If the emperor really sent you!?" Han Rongshu looked surprised, he thought that sooner or later the emperor would make a move on his family, but he didn't expect it to be so soon!
The Assassin realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately shut his mouth.
"Young Master Han, you might as well ask him what he's looking for first." Yun Ximian gently patted the stunned Han Rongshu on the shoulder, the young man's newly developed shoulders were not big, but he had to shoulder such a serious matter, Yun Ximian sighed silently in his heart.
"Okay." Hearing Yun Ximian's words, Han Rongshu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, very warm, he had never been trusted by adults as a child's "negative teaching material" since he was a child, he was actually not stupid, but there were some things he didn't bother to think about, and he didn't want to do it after thinking about it.
The Han family is not as harmonious as outsiders seem, the head of the Han family, that is, his father only likes the eldest brother who is excellent in all aspects, and even his mother likes the eldest brother, he has not had a high sense of existence since he was born, in order to make his parents notice him, he did a lot of attention-grabbing things, but his parents would only say a few words, and then they would not pay attention to it......
Han Rongshu put away the lonely expression on his face and looked at the assassin grimly: "Say, what did the emperor send you to find?!" ”
The assassin turned his head spinelessly, refusing to say a word, he secretly regretted letting Yun Ximian remind Han Rongshu to put his chin back again, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to say anything......
"Don't say? Then you are the emperor's person, and you should also know what our Han family is famous for in the army, right? Han Rongshu hooked the corners of his lips and smiled sarcastically.
The assassin's face changed instantly, but he managed not to say a word.
"Hehe, I'll count three times, you can think about it, the emperor will let you die, but I will make your life worse than death." Han Rongshu's voice was so flat, neither threatening nor persecuting, but Yun Ximian found that the assassin's pupils shrank, and his expression became frightened, almost subconsciously, he begged for mercy: "I said, I said!" ”
Yun Ximian was a little curious when he saw this, what kind of big man is this Han family? It was so easy for the people sent by the emperor to let go, or was it because the assassin was not psychologically high? But to be sent by the emperor to do such an important thing, it shouldn't be someone who can be rebelled so easily, right?
"The Han family invented a set of torture instruments in the army, and it is rumored that all of them are things that make life worse than death, and they have never missed a trick when used to talk about it." Chu Ziqing seemed to see Yun Ximian's doubts and explained simply.
"I see...... "Sure enough, the one who can become a general is not just a stupid young man." Yun Ximian nodded knowingly.
The assassin immediately confessed that the emperor had asked him to come to the 100,000 taels of gold that the emperor had secretly given to Han's father.
"100,000 taels of gold!?" Not only Han Rongshu, but even Yun Ximian opened his mouth wide.
How much is that worth? Yun Ximian's mind turned around a few times, estimated an astronomical number, and immediately shook his head to shake off the messy things in his head.
"But the 100,000 taels of gold are so conspicuous, and they are not silver tickets, how can they be hidden in the study, so what are you running to the study?" This point is where Yun Ximian feels strange, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be looking for a place like a warehouse first?
The assassin was also very depressed, and they were all caught anyway, and there was no more than a dead word, and the assassin confessed: "We searched all the warehouses and didn't find the gold, the emperor thought that it should be hidden by General Han to some hidden outdoor villa, and sure enough, in the suburbs of General Han's villa, he found an underground warehouse, which must need a key to open, and the emperor thought that the gold was inside, so let us steal the key." ”
"A mountain cottage in the middle of nowhere? Are you talking about the villa in Luoxia Mountain? Han Rongshu asked.
"Exactly." The Assassin said.
"Then it's even more impossible!" Han Rongshu was surprised: "That warehouse is used by my father to put the elixir herbs, my brother and I have the key, and we haven't seen any 100,000 taels of gold at all!" ”
"How is that possible!?" The assassin also looked surprised, Yun Ximian studied the micro-expression a little, and it could be seen that the assassin had no trace of lying, it seemed that he really didn't know the whereabouts of the 100,000 taels of gold.
Originally, I thought that if I caught an assassin, I would have other clues, but now it seems that it is just a failure. Han Rongshu walked around the house impatiently, his brows were so wrinkled that he could kill a mosquito, if he couldn't find the gold within tomorrow, maybe his house would be in ruins the day after tomorrow, or even earlier, the emperor might immediately issue a holy decree to raid the house after discovering that the assassin was gone, Han Rongshu also wanted to hand over the gold, and he didn't feel distressed at all with money, but the problem now is that he can't find where the wealth is!
Yun Ximian and Chu Ziqing watched from the side, there was nothing they could do, Yun Ximian was in a hurry, and Chu Ziqing was pouring tea indifferently.
"Why don't you ask your mother, maybe there's some clue." Yun Ximian reminded. She didn't have much clue now, this 100,000 taels of gold was not a small amount, whether it was in the weight of the gold or the price of the value.
"No, my mother told me everything she knew, she only knew what her father got from the emperor, but my father never told my mother......" Han Rongshu said this, rubbing his head with a headache, his father doesn't like women to take care of these things, but he may tell his eldest brother, even if he thinks of this, Han Rongshu can't send a letter now, it will take at least four days for a letter to go back and forth, he can't wait so long.
So it's really troublesome...... Yun Ximian didn't have a golden finger in this regard, and he couldn't give Han Rongshu any other help, so he could only make a suggestion: "Do you want to find other places, such as the mountain villa and money village where your father usually puts his treasures?"
Han Rongshu thought about it and made some sense, but he was inevitably uncertain in his heart, so he nodded hesitantly and agreed.
Han Rongshu took people out, Yun Ximian thought that the air in the room was too stuffy, so he walked around the garden path alone, and Chu Ziqing still didn't waste any time practicing in the room.
Tired of walking, Yun Ximian found a pavilion near the lake and sat down, the breeze blew the surface of the lake, sparkling, as if there was a huge fish swimming at the bottom of the pool.
"The weather is really good today...... Yun Ximian sighed, she seems to have not encountered such good weather for a long time, it is not too hot and not cloudy, if there is a computer and mobile phone next to it, it is called enjoyment!
It's just that the word boring is a portrayal of Yun Ximian's now, boring is boring, but she doesn't want to see the exercises, just like when she was in school, she would rather be bored to death than write homework. Yun Ximian thought wildly, looked down at the golden lake, picked up a small pebble casually, and threw it into the lake with all his strength.
She has played a lot in modern times, and she can be regarded as a "dragon and phoenix among people", for which she has also bragged a few times, which made her classmates sigh at her.
But isn't it a little strange this time...... Yun Ximian watched as the pebbles sank into the pool, making a small crashing sound.
Yun Ximian: "......"
I don't read much, does a stone fall into the pool make this sound?
Even if it's a man-made lake, shouldn't the bottom of the lake be made of a material like a floor? Whatever you say, it's supposed to be dirt...... Yun Ximian looked at the pool water that shone golden in the sun, and suddenly had a bold idea.
Chu Ziqing waited in the room for a while, and found that Yun Ximian hadn't come back yet, and secretly said strangely in his heart, Uncle Shi should come back even if he went out for a walk, right? Why hasn't it arrived yet?
Chu Ziqing frowned and waited in the room for a while, but Yun Ximian still didn't come back, so he took his sword and went out to find someone.
I hope Uncle Shi won't run into assassins again...... Wait, why did he say again? Chu Ziqing shook his head helplessly, it seemed that after the uncle came out, troublesome things came one after another, hey.
