Chapter 31 Hiding from the World
I couldn't help but be overjoyed, holding the candlestick, with the wild stone and the water lin, there is a 'hole' in the ground, still magnificent, jeweled. Please search to see the most complete! The fastest update
Crazy Stone exclaimed step by step and sighed: "No wonder your father is planning to send you to the palace, the Su family is really rich and rivals the country, it is even more difficult not to attract hatred, I am also a little shaken now, should I consider your suggestion." ”
"What advice?" I asked nonchalantly.
"Of course, I came to your Su family to be my 'daughter' in law." Crazy Stone joked informally: "Not only can you be the brother-in-law of the current emperor and the prince of Qi, but also you can have a double harvest of treasures and beauties, and you can squander it in the second half of your life, and you will have no worries about food and clothing." ”
At such a serious juncture, he didn't forget to 'plug' the subject and talk to me poorly. I pouted disdainfully: "Are you Zhongyong Marquis Mansion very poor?" Not in the green? ”
Crazy Shi smacked and smacked his mouth regretfully: "It's still that the prince of Qi has a vision, when your aunt picked me to be a 'daughter' in law, I should have come down." ”
I lifted my 'legs' with the hem of my skirt and kicked at him: "There is so much nonsense, Man Chang'an is crying and shouting that he wants to marry you, there are more cash cows, why do you escape faster than a rabbit?" ”
Crazy Stone laughed and dodged, and did not forget to tell Shui Lin: "Remember not to be like that wood, 'messy' to make small reports." ”
I smiled and ignored him, and went up to check the neatly arranged boxes on the floor, which still had those strange-shaped locks. When my father opened it with his bare hands, he didn't pay attention, and he was helpless for a while, and he didn't know how to start. I pulled out the lore from my wrist and exerted all my strength, but I didn't move at all, I don't know what metal it was made of.
Madstone approached, glanced at it, took out a string from his bosom, dipped it in the spit and tied a strange knot, and then stretched out his hand to me: "Give me the dagger." ”
Frustrated, I handed him the dagger, and he took it in his hand, and as if he picked it up, a very thin keyhole appeared in the lock. The mad stone slowly stretched the knot into the hole, and then the wrist sank, and the lock fell in response, and so on, one by one, the technique was skillful and capable.
Shui Lin and I took a closer look.
"What to do? Although there are many treasures and they are worth a fortune, they cannot be exchanged for cash at all in a hurry. The gold ingots are only 300,000, which is not enough at all. The gold bricks on the ground cannot be removed even if they are completely glued. I straightened up and wiped the sweat from my face.
Crazy Stone Shen groaned for a moment, and smiled confidently: "The time and place are right, we can use the earth's 'hole' to make a way to hide from the sky and cross the sea." ”
That night, we secretly transported all the gold ingots in the basement out of the mansion through the secret passage of the wisteria building, and escorted them to an inn that had been contacted in advance by Shui Lin and Tu Lin, and 'handed over' to the soldiers who had been waiting there for a long time, and they would transport the silver taels out of the city at dawn the next day in the name of transporting grain and grass, and then send them back to the Su family.
The remaining 'squire' guards moved all the silver that had been transported from outside the city into the underground treasure room, and then carefully restored Wisteria Xiaozhu and his father's study to its original appearance, and cleaned up all traces. The sky was already white, and everyone went back to their rooms to sleep peacefully.
When I was sleeping sweetly, I was awakened by a rapid knock on the door, and I reluctantly turned over, unwilling to take care of it.
The person who came was a little reluctant, and slapped the 'door' with a "bang", which was Qingming's anxious voice: "Qingwu, Qingwu, get up quickly, something happened!" ”
I 'rubbed' and 'rubbed' sleepy eyes, got up from the 'bed', and staggered to open the 'door': "Brother Ten, what are you doing, I haven't woken up yet." He shook his head as he spoke.
"Something's wrong!" Qing Ming obviously didn't wash either, and her hair was a little unkempt: "The silver piled up in the yard is gone." ”
"What a joke." I yawned and said nonchalantly, "With so many silver taels, who can move them?" What's more, there are so many people guarding the courtyard outside. ”
"Oops, it's true," Qing Ming stomped her feet in a hurry: "I woke up in the morning, and I felt that something was wrong, dizzy, swollen, and dry mouth." So I didn't bother to freshen up and went out of the yard, only to find that all the silver was gone. ”
"Huh?" I was startled and ran out of the courtyard to the place where the silver box was placed, where several of the night guards were still asleep on the ground.
I was dumbfounded, reached out to probe the snorts of the two guards nearby, and said dejectedly: "Both hits." ”
"How so?" Qing Ming anxiously walked around on the ground: "These thieves are also too cunning, do you know that you had an ambush when this batch of silver taels was transported, so you deliberately waited for us to relax our guard before we started?" ”
"Impossible," I retorted categorically, "our plan is secret, how can the thieves know about it?" ”
Qing Ming suddenly realized: "Could it be that there is an internal 'traitor'?" There are 'traitors' in the house! It's Ho Bo! Last night, he brought my meals to my room himself. There is definitely 'ecstasy' and 'medicine' in the meal! I'm going to go to him and ask him for clarification. ”
"Wait," I shook my head to dissuade him, "If you go to Xingshi so angrily to ask for sin, won't you be noisy." Now it is on the cusp of the 'waves', and this matter must not be spread, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble, and the situation is uncontrollable. ”
"Then what should I do, is it just like this, knocking out teeth and swallowing blood, all of it?" Qing Ming said indignantly: "Just let him keep lurking in the mansion to make a 'wave'?" ”
"Hurt my Su family and hurt my family, I must not just give up, I asked the 'squire' guard to invite Uncle He to my yard, and then 'forced' him to ask for clues about the thief." I sighed: "To the people in the house, let's say for the time being that the silver two have been transferred. ”
Qing Ming stopped angrily, very unwilling.
"No need to look it up!" Crazy Stone walked over from outside the courtyard with a solemn face: "Uncle He, the housekeeper, is gone, it seems that our suspicions are true." ”
"Uncle Ho is gone? That means ......"
Crazy Stone nodded: "I woke up earlier than you, and I have already gone out of the house to investigate, and there are traces of ruts outside the house, and I disappeared when I entered the street." It should be that we were 'dizzy' at night, and we transferred the silver taels later. I asked the two servants in the house euphemistically, saying that at dinner yesterday, Uncle He had gone to the kitchen alone, and he used the excuse to support the others. ”
"In vain that his father trusts him like this, how can he do such a thing of betraying the Su family and colluding with foreign thieves?" Qing Ming said resentfully.
"But one thing is very strange, all the eyeliner of the robbers outside the house was killed with one arrow, that is to say, He Bo and the robbers are not in the same group, but have another helper." Crazy Shi stretched out his index finger and rubbed the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, with a look of 'confusion' and 'confusion': "I went to the city 'gate' to find out the news, saying that as soon as the city 'gate' was opened today, there was immediately a convoy claiming to be transporting grain and grass to the barracks, pulling several cars out of the city. Because they had all the formalities for the token in their hands, the soldiers defending the city did not check it carefully. Now that things are getting more and more confusing, is there still a third-party person 'interfering'? Or is it just that He Bo took advantage of the fire to rob? ”
In an instant, several people fell into a trough and were silent.
We deliberately concealed the disappearance of Uncle He, and the explanation to the subordinates was that He Bo was sent to do something, and he would not come back in the next few days. After hearing this, everyone was convinced. Only Tutu has some small opinions about his grandfather's resignation.
After breakfast, Qing Ming summoned several domestic servants in the house, went out of the house to contact several stewards in Yangzhou City, and then ran to tell each other, invited the store stewards near the state capital to come over, took the account books and abacus, and temporarily set up tables, chairs and tents outside the house, verified the silver tickets and IOUs in the hands of the people outside the house one by one, registered them in the book, and summarized the total number. After tossing and turning like this for a whole day, it was almost dusk, and I couldn't finish cleaning it up, so I could only make an appointment to continue the next day.
The gold that was secretly transferred out at night was transported back to the Su Mansion with great fanfare when night fell, causing a lot of 'commotion' at the big 'gate' of the Su family as usual. Everyone greedily and eagerly stared at the gold in the box, and coveted it, but the order was much better, and everyone no longer doubted my words, and calmed down.
After the gold had been delivered into the house in an orderly manner, I ordered the 'guards' to pile all the boxes into a room, lock them up, and order them to be kept under strict care, not to be lax, and not to enter any idle people.
After the busy, Qing Ming sent someone to invite us to the dining room for dinner together. When I arrived with Crazy Stone, Qing Ming was already waiting at the table, and when he saw us, he quickly got up to greet us. We sat down at the table one by one, and a servant woman brought the food and quietly withdrew.
Today, Liqing Ming looked very interested, and even prepared a pot of good wine, drank with the crazy stone, and persuaded each other diligently.
"Today's matter is also thanks to the generosity of the prince, and my Su family is overwhelmed with 'excitement'." Qing Ming raised the wine glass above the top, and said with great sincerity.
"Where, where," Crazy Stone hurriedly humbled down: "These are all strategies of the Qi Prince, and I am just doing my best." ”
I coughed lightly twice, making my eyes 'color', and Crazy Stone immediately smiled awkwardly, and said to Qing Mingqian: "Eat wine, eat wine." ”
Qing Ming sifted the wine in the Crazy Stone Cup: "The prince looks confident, I think my Su family has been saved, and those thieves are not to worry." ”
Crazy Stone glanced at me and smiled wryly: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there will always be willows and dark 'flowers' bright." ”
"Then I don't know what the prince of the world thinks? Tomorrow is the last day, how will the people outside the 'gate' 'hand' to the generation? If the robber hears the news that my Su family and silver have been transported to the house, and threatens the lives of the eldest brother and the ninth aunt, how should we choose? Qing Ming asked with a sad face: "When I think of these questions, I am so anxious that I can't sleep peacefully. ”
"What are you afraid of!" Crazy Stone patted Qingming's shoulder: "You just put your heart in your stomach, isn't it just hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, the mouse pulls the wooden shovel, the big head is behind, this third batch ......"
"Yikes!" I screamed, and the soup bowl in my hand fell off, and the hot soup splashed the entire hem of the stone.
