Chapter 168 The Young Master Returns to Beijing
Ye Luo and Feng Qi had changed a lot after returning from their errands with the young master.
More generous, more talkative, and more confident.
In this regard, everyone thinks that this is the result of going out for experience.
After all, this time the operation involved real knife work and blood was shed.
In response, Qin Qiong said to Xiao Yan: "Look at you, you have corrupted the child."
"..." Xiaoyan.
"My God, don't you know where that family hides the gold?"
"In the mountains! You never imagined that..."
"Who else is there? They haven't finished their trial yet..."
"Just in the mountains, the cave we found contained more than a dozen boxes of gold!"
"Do you know what we found in the homes of those officials we raided?"
"Do you know how this gold was mined? You would never guess..."
"These officials are all bad people! So bad!"
Everyone hurriedly asked him: "So, this is really a gold mine?"
“It’s really a gold mine”
"Oh my God!..."
Xiao Yeluo also sighed.
"Yes, it's such a big mine... He also captured so many people to pan for gold there."
"That's fine, not only did he dig for gold for him, he even detained the people there and wouldn't let them out. Once the incident got out, he even wanted to kill them to silence them!"
"Do you know what they want to do?"
"They're going to blow the place up!"
"It's scary to think about it, luckily we got here..."
Ye Luo excitedly told everyone what he had seen and heard during his outing with the young master, as well as his "outstanding" performance.
Qin Qiong felt embarrassed to disturb the child.
However, Xiaoyan told Qin Qiong something else in private.
"This matter is very strange. They have not been very secretive in their mining and arresting people over the years. It seems that they are in a hurry."
"Is it urgent? That's... that the mine doesn't have much stock left? So..."
"No... Also, the amount of gold doesn't match up."
"Not matching? How do you mean?"
"I calculated it, and the total amount I found doesn't match the account book of that place and the workers' statements. There's a big discrepancy."
"Didn't you say you wanted to bribe all the officials?"
"Even if we add us in...it's still a lot less."
"Then... where can so much gold go?"
"Yes, when we were investigating, we found that the gold disappeared once it left Jinzhou, and we couldn't find any trace of it."
"Oh my god, this is amazing!"
"Not only that, the prefect told others about the silver mine, so..."
"I see, that means there is more gold missing."
“So, I feel like they’re always shipping out.”
"Oh, shipping? Then, do you know where it's shipped to?"
Xiaoyan shook her head.
"I don't know. Those people fought to the death. We had no choice but to execute them on the spot. Although we confiscated a lot... I think it's very strange."
"What's weird?"
"They, they really risked their lives to protect the gold. If they were just after the money, they wouldn't be so desperate, right?"
"So... maybe they are some desperate criminals."
"No, according to the workers, they seem to be well-disciplined, like the military. And now the numbers don't add up..."
"You mean to say that the outflow of this gold was organized and carried out with a purpose from the very beginning."
Xiaoyan nodded: "This matter is very strange, those assassins are very strange, and the behavior of the prefect is also very strange"
Qin Qiong thought about it.
"You are a person who has come back again, don't you have any clues?"
"I did think about it, but now I can't remember anything like this happening before."
"You didn't help Madam Li at that time, which means you didn't help Scholar Zhao, and there wouldn't be any incident in Ji'an Town, and there wouldn't be any trip to the gold mine. Of course, you don't remember it. You should be thinking about who might benefit from this incident in the end? Considering your later developments, how would this amount of money affect the Wu Kingdom?"
"I can't imagine... I don't know, I can't imagine it at all."
Xiaoyan said with his big innocent eyes.
"…If you can't remember, forget it."
Qin Qiong rolled his eyes.
"By the way, did you bring back all the gold?"
Qin Qiong looked at him with a smile: "Didn't you leave any souvenirs?"
"..."
Xiaoyan looked at Qin Qiong seriously and said, "You are indeed a 'bad guy'."
“……”Qin Qiong.
Because the "Ji'an Society" announced the establishment of the school that day, it had attracted widespread attention.
But when the various skills and food varieties that were exquisite, wonderful, and ahead of this era appeared in people's sight at the same time, everyone was extremely excited.
What are those? They are advanced and the future.
There is countless wealth behind it!
As a result, first the dignitaries and imperial merchants in the capital showed great interest in these things, and they sent letters to Xuanzhen Temple, expressing their determination to participate in the charity activities of Ji'an Society.
But the more people understand these things, the more frightened they become.
But what’s more, I feel indignant!
How could such a rare and special skill be controlled by only a small Taoist master?
Then, some officials reported the matter directly to the court.
As soon as the memorial was submitted, all departments of the court began to take action.
Among them, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works were the first to submit several memorials in succession hoping that these unique and exquisite products could be nationalized.
Their memorial was submitted to the emperor, and naturally the emperor was at a loss as to what to do. After all, it was the young master who was instigating this matter, and even the empress dowager had donated money to them. It would not be a good idea to now take things from the Ji'an Society.
Besides, these things are said to have come from the young master.
They are still working for the royal family outside, and it is not good to take their things.
So the memorial was then sent back to the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother summoned the eldest princess directly into the palace.
She handed the papers to her daughter.
"Where on earth did this kid get all this stuff? Why have I never heard you mention it?"
Regarding this matter, the eldest princess and Prince Consort Yan reported in unison.
"This kid just likes to go out and play, making friends everywhere. He is also very generous. He doesn't take anything given to him seriously. The ancient books, calligraphy and paintings in this house are more than these. If you don't believe me, go ask Prince Consort Li..."
"As for these things... well, this kid has a lot of rare things, we don't know, we only know that they are all his treasures. I didn't expect that he would actually take them out to help others this time."
"Think about it, it's also contributing to the country, helping the poor and doing good things, isn't it? It's what I should do."
"What? What do you want us to do with these things? Then we'll wait for the child to come back and talk to him about it..."
After hearing what they said, we couldn't force them anymore.
Then we have to wait for the young master to come back.
People were anxiously waiting for the young master to return to Beijing.
After all, this is money! It waits for no one!
Time quickly entered the twelfth lunar month and the Chinese New Year was almost approaching.
The young master is finally back.
But the young master not only returned, he also brought back more than twenty carts of silver and gold.
This time when the young master came back, the emperor sent people to pick him up. The people escorting the carriage were all imperial guards, so it was quite a scene.
Plus, the news had already been out, so when people actually saw those truckloads of huge boxes.
The whole capital city was in an uproar once again!
