Xie Yunyan followed Ning Shu into the room with a serious expression.

Ning Shu closed the door and suddenly said, "Husband, when I went to Dakong Temple that day, the steps on the soles of my feet were loosened from time to time. ”

At first, Ning Shu thought that the stone steps were in disrepair, so it would be like this.

Now that I think about it, there should be something else in it.

Ning Shu thought about it carefully, muttering sentence by sentence, as if she was saying it to Xie Yunyan, as if she was sorting out her messy thoughts.

"The Taoist temple is so big, why does Daoist Xu only sweep at the door?"

She has said more than once that since Xu Daochang is a silver keeper, then his location should be near the official bank.

"He stood at the entrance of the Taoist temple, just in time to have a panoramic view of the nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps—" Xie Yunyan said lightly following Ning Shu's train of thought, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

Ning Shu continued: "Normal people will suspect that the amount of official silver is huge, if it is plated into a Buddha statue, it can be fake, but the project to replace the Buddha statue is too large, it will inevitably arouse suspicion——"

The more Xie Yunyan spoke, the more he felt that Ning Shu's idea worked.

After all, they had searched all the places in the Taoist temple, and there were only the nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one at night, replacing them one by one, it is not difficult to bury the official bank in it at all!

"Madame!" Xie Yunyan immediately got up, Ning Shu hurriedly took a cloak and put it on for him, and responded with a smile: "It's autumn, it's windy at night, go early and come back early!" ”

"Madam—" A hint of warmth flashed in Xie Yunyan's eyes.

He hugged Ning Shu tightly in his arms, greedily sucked the unique fragrance on her body, and sighed slowly: "It is really a blessing in my life to have a wife like this." ”

Ning Shu also leaned on his arms, and the faint fragrance of agarwood hit his nose, which was an indescribable peace.

"Me too."

The two hugged each other in the room for a long time, and Xie Yunyan finally reluctantly let go of his arms and said heavily: "Wait for me!" ”

"Waiting for you!"

……

Out of the Guogong Mansion, Xie Yunyan did not immediately rush to the Great Empty Temple, but went to the Qi Mansion instead.

Qi Chengan's injuries have not fully healed, so he did not attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet tonight.

But Xie Yunyan knew that his actions should be fine.

Carrying the confused Qi Cheng'an into the carriage.

Qi Cheng'an relied on himself to be a patient, sat on the soft couch covered with a velvet blanket, and glared at Xie Yunyan angrily.

"You'd better give me a satisfactory explanation, or I'll die with you after fighting for this half of my life!"

Xie Yunyan's trademark smile saw Qi Chengan's eyebrows skip a beat, and when he saw him, he said calmly: "Didn't you say that there is news to share?" I found out where the official money is hidden, are you sure Brother Qi won't go with me to see it? ”

Qi Chengan was ready not to listen to Xie Yunyan no matter what he said, and he had already preset a lot of words to reprimand Xie Yunyan in his mind, and he was about to blurt it out, but he swallowed it hard.

"Y-You say it again?"

Xie Yunyan looked at the night scene outside the window leisurely, and his unbeaten expression confirmed that Qi Chengan did not have auditory hallucinations just now, and what he heard was the clue of Guan Yin.

"Where?"

Qi Cheng'an was interested, and looked at Xie Yunyan seriously, completely forgetting the pain in his abdomen and the fact that tonight was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Xie Yunyan seemed to smile: "Dakong Temple." ”

"Of course I know about the Great Empty Temple, haven't I been looking for a long time but haven't found it? Why did you suddenly find it again? ”

"Brother Qi will know when he goes."

Qi Chengan hated Xie Yunyan the most for putting on such a tricky and unfathomable look, but he knew that it was useless to say more, Xie Yunyan didn't want to say it, and the emperor might not be able to ask.

I can only rush to the Great Empty Temple with hope and patience.

A bright moon hangs high in the starry sky, illuminating the entire mountain road.

Qi Chengan cautiously got out of the carriage and glanced at the nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps ahead, his facial features were twisted more hideously than his wounds.

"Don't you tell me you want me to go up and look for it?"

Xie Yunyan shook his head and commanded the manpower to assemble, "Starting from the first section, see if there is any cat under that step." ”

"What?" Qi Chengan's eyes lit up immediately, "You mean that the official silver is hidden under the stone steps?" ”

"It's just speculation, and it needs to be verified."

Xie Yunyan stared at the stone steps, and by the bright moonlight, the stone steps seemed to faintly exude the brilliance of silver.

Dozens of officials were instructed and immediately began to analyze the stone steps.

Sure enough, after moving a stone staircase, he only dug down three feet slightly, and the silver of the white flowers shone faintly in the moonlight.

"Ahh This, this—" Qi Chengan came over dumbfounded, overjoyed beyond words.

"Brother Xie is really powerful, can you find this?

Nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps, as long as one hundred taels are buried under each section, wouldn't it be easy to hide one hundred thousand taels?

Besides, looking at the first stone staircase, there are more than a hundred taels, and some should be buried every few layers.

Qi Chengan suddenly admired the meticulousness of the king.

Xie Yunyan smiled lightly, "It has nothing to do with me, I can find these official silvers thanks to Brother Qi, who has to drag me to the Dakong Temple to admire the moon on the full moon night!" ”

"You-" Qi Chengan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly figured out why Xie Yunyan Fei dragged him, an injured patient, to find Guan Yin.

A dignified seven-foot man, he has always been used to fighting with Xie Yunyan on weekdays, but at this time, he actually felt a little sour on his nose, and he didn't know what to do.

"How?" Xie Yunyan glanced at him lightly, "Finding these official and silver Qi brothers is just around the corner, and you are starting to be happy so early?" ”

Qi Chengan knew that his dog couldn't spit out any good teeth in his mouth, obviously he was doing a good deed, and that mouth could always provoke people's anger.

Xie Yunyan said with a smile: "But Brother Qi has to hold back, there are still important things to do now, you have to cry your nose, and when you finish the matter, go back to the house and hug Mrs. Qi and cry!" ”

"Xie Yunyan!" Qi Cheng'an's roar echoed in the mountains, shaking the insects and birds to take off, and the buzzing sound in the woods also frightened the officials who were rummaging through the official bank.

……

The four princes kept rubbing their eyebrows, and Li Shiqing sat quietly on the side, silently drinking tea.

"The king is at the end of his crossbow, and His Highness will definitely be able to capture him without much effort. When His Royal Highness returns after his success, it will definitely be the day of His Majesty's reward. Shi Qing congratulated His Highness in advance. ”

The movements in the hands of the four princes paused, and they opened their eyes slightly.

How could he not have known that this errand was a merit given by the emperor for nothing?

He was so angry that Miao Jiang and his party were completely out of control, and he was angry that this merit was compensated by the emperor to Huairou and Concubine Lian!

While thinking about it, someone knocked on the door, "Your Highness, Lian Shangshu asks to see you." ”

The fourth prince glanced at Li Shiqing, and Li Shiqing also looked at him a little nervously.

"It's so late, Lian Shangshu should have something to discuss, Miss Li, let's go back first, right?"

Lian Shangshu didn't know that Li Shiqing was in the prince's mansion, so Li Shiqing immediately got up and retreated.

"Yes."
