Chapter 372: Exploding Gold Coins

Li Xuan calmed down, focused his attention on the Dihong Bone Ring, and began to rummage through things.

Vague memories told him that there was something he had forgotten.

And not long after rummaging, Li Xuan found a small wooden box, and he immediately remembered this thing he got from Hu Yulou's mother Zhou.

"When Zhou's mother was about to run away, she specially prepared this thing and stuffed a lot of paper into it."

Li Xuan guessed that it was estimated to be Hu Yulou's related assets, and he thought about opening it later.

As a result, I was busy dealing with the two gentlemen later, but I forgot about it.

"Hey, if this small wooden box is Hu Yulou's title deed, then what are they auctioning this time?"

Li Xuan suddenly wondered.

Moreover, Zhou's mother died in the secret passage of Hu Yulou's underground, and the government later knew about it, how could it auction Hu Yulou's assets on the grounds that Zhou's mother ran away with the money?

Li Xuan suddenly realized that there was something strange in this.

"Miss Li, are you also interested in Hu Yulou's auction?"

"I've heard people say it's only been a few days, and if you want to go, you have to hurry."

Xiao Cui saw that Princess Ankang seemed to be interested in Hu Yulou's auction, and immediately said.

Princess Ankang smiled and nodded, but she was more aware of Li Xuan's reaction.

Seeing Li Xuan bowing her head and pondering, Princess Ankang didn't bother, and naturally continued to chat with Xiaocui.

Previously, it was Li Xuan who told Princess Ankang to ask her to ask Xiao Cui about some rumors in the West Market.

As a result, listening to it now, Li Xuan was distracted.

Then, Xiaocui told a lot of interesting things in the West Market.

The West Market is mixed, and there are a large number of Hu merchants from the Western Regions, and there is a lot of new news circulating on the street every day.

But the truth and the fake need to be distinguished.

Just like what Xiao Cui said at the beginning, the female ghost asked for her life, although there are facts to base it on, it really adds a lot of fuel and vinegar to it.

If it weren't for the fact that the three little ones themselves were witnesses to this incident, I am afraid they would not be able to distinguish the basis of this rumor.

And the time for gossip always flies.

Before I knew it, the carriage came to Boryeongfang and stopped steadily in front of the alley where Xiaocui and her grandfather lived.

The road in the alley was too narrow for the carriage to enter, so the grandfather and grandson had to be sent here.

Xiao Cui and her grandfather got out of the carriage and thanked Princess Ankang.

"Xiao Cui, don't forget what I told you earlier." Princess Ankang instructed.

Xiao Cui pursed her lips and nodded seriously.

"Miss, don't worry."

"I'll definitely try my best."

On the side, Xiao Cui's grandfather looked at his granddaughter, and then at the luxurious carriage they were riding all the way back, and his eyes flashed with complexity.

"Okay, Xiaocui will go to the West Market to see you again when I go back."

Princess Ankang said, waving goodbye to her grandfather and grandson, and the carriage started slowly again.

"Miss, be careful on the roadβ€”"

Xiaocui waved goodbye loudly, watching the carriage drown in the flow of people on the street.

"Grandpa, let's go back."

The grandfather and grandson walked deeper into the alley, where they lived.

The further you go down the alley, the quieter it becomes.

The grandfather and grandson were silent, and suddenly felt that the alley in front of this house had become a lot longer.

"Xiaocui, what Miss Li said just now ......"

Xiao Cui's grandfather said with some concern.

"Grandpa, I want to give it a try." Xiao Cui spoke, interrupting Grandpa's words.

"Isn't there a saying that 'the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish'?"

"Miss Li is a good person and a capable person."

"If I help her, maybe we can live a better life."

Xiao Cui lowered her head, but still said what she thought.

"But that can be dangerous, people like us can't afford to take a risk, and we can't afford to lose!"

Xiaocui's grandfather obviously didn't want his granddaughter to be in it.

"Grandpa, we can't afford to lose for a long time." Xiao Cui said faintly.

"If it weren't for Miss Li that day, we would have died a long time ago."

Xiao Cui's grandfather's body stiffened, and the words that he originally wanted to continue to persuade were all held in his throat and could no longer be spit out.

"Grandpa, profits come from risk, and it's impossible to win without taking risks."

Xiao Cui looked up sharply, her eyes shining.

Xiaocui's grandfather seemed to see those fanatical Hu businessmen who dared to pass through the black storm from his granddaughter's face at this moment.

He sighed silently, knowing that he couldn't persuade his granddaughter.

At this time, Xiao Cui continued: "Grandpa, it's just to record some of what I saw and heard in the West Market, and it's not so dangerous." ”

"With my current ability, I'm afraid I can't take too many risks."

"Don't worry."

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, they came to the front of the house.

Xiaocui immediately took out the key, opened the door and entered it, and turned around and smiled heartlessly at her grandfather.

……

In the carriage, only three small ones remained and Mr. Shang, who was driving outside the car.

Princess Ankang stroked Li Xuan in her arms and asked:

"Ah Xuan, do you want to develop Xiaocui into a secret agent?"

"She's just an ordinary girl, she won't cause her problems, right?"

Li Xuan opened his eyes slightly, and thought in his heart: "Maybe it's also an opportunity." ”

Li Xuan then swung his tail and wrote in mid-air, so that Princess Ankang didn't have to worry.

In the next few days, Xiaocui will think clearly, and how to choose when the time comes, it depends on her final decision.

Li Xuan just did it casually to see if he could make more friends outside the palace.

Although Xiaocui and her grandfather only set up a stall in the West Market to sell knots, there is a lot of news circulating in the West Market.

What Princess Ankang asked Xiaocui to do was also very simple, just record these gossip messages for Princess Ankang to see.

Li Xuan just wants to put eyes and ears outside the palace for Jingyang Palace, even if there are not many things that can be seen and heard now, it's a good start, isn't it?

After returning to Xingqing Palace, Princess Ankang, who had been tired all day, went to bed early under Yu'er's service.

Li Xuan said hello to Manager Shang and prepared to go out.

As a result, today, Manager Shang did not stop Li Xuan from going out, but just nodded and let him go.

"Sure enough, I was asked to stay yesterday, more to make me think about something."

Li Xuan understood the intention of Manager Shang, and turned his head and walked out of Xingqing Palace.

After all, with Li Xuan's current strength, he can't play much role in the face of a real master.

Mr. Shang couldn't stop it, and Li Xuan couldn't stop it.

"It's still not enough."

Li Xuan shook his head and wandered through the streets of the capital that had been curfew.

For a cat like him, curfew or not makes no sense at all.

He went straight to the East Market, and on the way, he picked up the small wooden box inside the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.

The small wooden box was obtained by Li Xuan from Zhou's mother, and it seemed to hold something very important to Zhou's mother.

It's just that this small wooden box is not simple, it is a very delicate mechanism product, there are many small buttons on it, arranged in the heavenly and terrestrial branches, and it is not easy to solve at first glance.

But Li Xuan has his own way.

Li Xuan found a secluded and uninhabited corner, took out the small wooden box, put it on the ground, and then swept it lightly with his tail, and all the contents of the small wooden box entered the Dihong bone ring.

The Dihong Bone Ring has the ability to retrieve objects from the air, although the distance of the ability is limited, but it is more than enough to deal with the small wooden box with a small size.

This ability to deal with the locked wooden box and wooden box is simply invincible, and it can directly transfer the contents to the Dihong Bone Ring.

Li Xuan couldn't care about being complacent, so he quickly put away the small wooden box, and then checked the extra documents in the Dihong Bone Ring.

It is similar to what Li Xuan expected, most of them are some house deeds and land deeds, in addition to Hu Yulou's property, there are many of them, all of which are in some famous markets in the capital, and the value is not bad.

From the cheapest 800 taels of silver to a three-entry house worth 60,000 taels of silver, there are all kinds of house types, with a total of more than 10 house deeds.

In addition, there are land deeds and land deeds, large denomination silver bills, etc., and the value is difficult to estimate.

"Mother Zhou, is this going to change her career to flip houses?"

Li Xuan also never expected that his mother would have so many assets this week.

"This, this is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, right?"

"Then what did Zhou's mother run in the first place?"

Li Xuan swallowed and foamed, remembering the appearance of Zhou's mother fleeing in a hurry at that time, full of puzzlement.

With so much money, all the troubles can be solved, right?

Even if Hou San died in her Hu Yulou at that time, so much money would not leave too much trouble.

Thinking about it now, it makes Li Xuan feel quite strange.

"Could it be that Mother Zhou owes more outside?"

"This is a green building, and the business is too big, right?"

This time, Li Xuan carefully put these contracts into the space dedicated to storing valuables in the Dihong Bone Ring, and he didn't dare to be careless anymore.

If it weren't for Xiao Cui who heard about Hu Yulou's auction this time, this small wooden box would have been forgotten by Li Xuan.

"Hey, wait!"

"These eight calves are going to auction off my Hu Yulou!?"

Only then did Li Xuan reflect the seriousness of the matter.

"He's meowing, isn't this bullying a kitten!"

Li Xuan's eyes widened in anger.

But then I thought about it, and it was not difficult to solve this matter.

In the worst-case scenario, ask Mr. Shang to come forward and transfer all the property to the name of Princess Ankang.

It's just that Li Xuan doesn't really want to do that.

"If you can solve it yourself, you should solve it yourself."

Since the reward for repairing Jingyang Palace this time was issued, which caused them a lot of trouble, Li Xuan had his own plan.

"Emperor Yongyuan is Emperor Yongyuan, he has his own calculations."

"Jingyang Palace still has to rely on the three of us after all."

After Li Xuan made up his mind, he planned to try to solve the matter of Hu Yulou's upcoming auction by himself.

And when he sorted out the documents left by Zhou's mother in the small wooden box, he found that there were still some documents that he couldn't understand, and the words on them seemed to be foreign languages.

When he was in the West Market, Li Xuan had seen some similar texts, most likely from the Western Regions.

"Most of Hu Yulou's girls are from the Western Regions, I'm afraid it's Zhou's mother who writes to and from there."

Li Xuan guessed.

He planned to find an opportunity in the future to learn the Western Regions script by himself.

He hadn't tried to use his talent to learn words, and he didn't know if he could do it well.

If you can't learn it yourself, find someone you can trust to translate it when the time comes.

After Li Xuan got all the contents of the small wooden box, he went headlong into the alleys of Dongshi.

It's the same place as before, but at night it's even more lively, and you can hear a lot of noise in the distance.

Li Xuan found the courtyard in his memory all the way, quietly went up to the roof, and peeked inside.

A lamp was lit in the room, and a young man turned on the lamp, looked at a book seriously, and there was a dirty cat lying on his stomach.

"Petting cats and reading books, life is comfortable."

Li Xuan grinned, and when he saw that the main owner was at home, he also unceremoniously climbed through the window and entered.

The young man who was reading in the room was startled by this movement, and was relieved to see that it was a cat that had broken in, but after taking a closer look, he immediately became nervous.

"You, why are you here?"

Fang Muyang said nervously.

"What? Not welcome? ”

Li Xuan's tail danced slowly in midair.

Looking at the playful expression on Li Xuan's face, Fang Muyang shuddered.

Although Li Xuan claimed to be an auspicious spirit beast, Fang Muyang always felt that this black cat was very evil.

"You've been doing well lately."

Li Xuan unceremoniously jumped on the table and said hello.

The ash on the table climbed up, sniffed around Li Xuan, and then immediately began to stick with Li Xuan.

"Hehe, it's still cat brother enthusiasm."

Li Xuan greeted Ash and asked him what had happened at home recently.

Fang Muyang probably couldn't have imagined that Li Xuan would talk to Ash as soon as he came.

"Just like that."

Fang Muyang said casually, put down the medical book in his hand, and then asked straight to the point:

"You came to me for something, right?"

Li Xuan always helped him complete his revenge, and this kindness Fang Muyang did not forget.

And when Li Xuan helped him, he made it clear that it was so that Fang Muyang could repay this kindness in the future.

Li Xuan didn't ink either, and immediately asked:

"I heard that Hu Yulou is going to be auctioned, didn't Ayimu ask you to help her get Hu Yulou's property?"

"What's going on now?"

Fang Muyang saw Li Xuan come to ask about this, although he was surprised, he still said honestly:

"We searched all the places where Zhou's mother might have hidden things, but we couldn't find the house deed or the title deed."

"Now that I think about it, it is likely that I was burned along with Zhou's mother."

"But without these documents, it will be very troublesome to get Hu Yulou's property."

"Especially Hu Yulou, there are still many creditors."

When Fang Muyang said this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Zhou's mother seems to owe a lot of money outside, even if she sells Hu Yulou, she can't afford to pay back the money, and I don't know what these people thought at that time, so they borrowed so much money to Zhou's mother."

When Li Xuan heard this, his heart moved.

Those creditors are not fools, and it is impossible for them to lend money to a person who cannot afford to pay it back.

Moreover, through the documents in the small wooden box, Li Xuan already knew where most of Zhou's mother's property was.

"If those title deeds were bought with borrowed money, it would make sense."

At this time, Fang Muyang continued: "Those creditors don't want to suffer losses, and they have united with the government to auction off all the properties of Hu Yulou, even including Ayimu and other girls, in order to repay their losses. ”

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile.

Ayimu was quite arrogant before, but now he is going to be auctioned off.

But with Ayimu's strength, none of this should be a problem.

Moreover, Li Xuan was already curious about the purpose of Ayimu lurking in Hu Yulou, and this time he could take the opportunity to test it.

No, Ayimu has a good strength, and he became an oiran in Hu Yulou because of his hobbies, right?
