An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into
Chapter 231: You can only take advantage of the situation through wits, not force.
After dinner,
The door to the front hall is closed.
Jing Yi and Jing Qiurong sat opposite each other. He looked at Jing Qiurong who was looking expectant, then at Jing Chunxi who was also sitting diagonally opposite him with an expectant look, and didn't speak for a long time.
I don't know why his daughter would bring a young child to listen to such an important matter. Even if he wants to train his eldest daughter to be the head of the family, he should let her be familiar with the account books and the daily necessities of life. It is really not appropriate to be so reckless when discussing confidential matters now.
He was so anxious just now, and now he has been sitting for a long time and still hasn't spoken. Jing Qiurong is anxious and Jing Chunxi is even more anxious. Jing Chunxi was so anxious that four words were written on his forehead: Say something!
Finally, Jing Qiurong saw that he was hesitant, so she explained, "Sister Xi is very smart. The old general, the old lady, the general, and the third master usually let Sister Xi know everything. She just accompanied her father and mother to exile and just returned yesterday."
"exile?"
This news was still a bit shocking to Jing Yi, a veteran of many battles. He felt that it was shocking not because of Jing Chunxi's boldness, but because there were elders who would let an eight or nine-year-old child take risks. And now seeing his daughter's calm expression, he knew that it was indeed true.
Jing Qiurong's words were successful enough to draw Jing Yi's attention to Jing Chunxi. At this moment, he was staring at her with a questioning look, with obvious suspicion and disbelief in his eyes.
The little girl looked exactly like her mother, with a palm-sized oval face, a high nose bridge, clear eyes, and a cherry mouth. But their personalities were completely different: one was steady and gentle; the other was impulsive, ignorant, and stubborn.
Jing Chunxi sat up straight, proudly puffing out her chest, and looked at him provocatively: "I'll let you look down on me, will you admire me? Bow down to me! Prostrate yourself before me!"
"The people we're keeping an eye on have noticed some unusual activity at Fupo Ridge these past two days, with the Fourth Prince's men going up there more frequently.
Before dawn today, the Fourth Prince's personal attendant went up the mountain alone again and seemed to have some instructions with the chief guard there, but no details were found out about their specific plans.
Later, another person was sent to secretly follow the attendant into the city, and it was discovered that he had entered the Changxing Escort Agency and stayed there for two hours.
The information we learned from the escort agency is that they will be transporting a batch of supplies in three days, using a total of 60 carriages, but the escort agency still does not know what goods they are transporting or where they are going.
"Si Gou wants to transfer the treasure on Fubo Ridge?" Jing Chunxi was anxious and blurted out these words immediately. He knew that his words were a bit abrupt as soon as they came out, but he couldn't take them back.
Jing Yi: ...
Jing Qiurong: ...
They were all stunned by Jing Chunxi's words. The previous letters from the capital only mentioned that the Fourth Prince had received financial support and suddenly had a large sum of money in his hands.
Even Jing Yi had only sent people to find out in the past two or three days that there was a villa for the Fourth Prince on Fubo Ridge. It was built deep in the mountains and was extremely secretive. No one in the capital knew about this villa yet, and even the Emperor and the other princes were kept in the dark.
A subordinate had just delivered today's news, and Jing Yi had a vague feeling that the Fourth Prince wanted to transfer the treasure, but he didn't dare to make a big conclusion that the treasure must be in Fubo Ridge.
Jing Chunxi was embarrassed and could only continue, "The treasure is in Fubo Ridge. I don't know whether it is in the other courtyard or not."
"How did Sister Xi know?"
Jing Qiurong had more doubts than Jing Yi. It was because Sister Xi had just returned and neither of them had time to communicate.
Last night I was so busy listening to my daughter talk about the thrills of her exile that I didn't have time to tell her what had happened in the capital over the past few months.
Jing Chunxi blurted out: "Tao Jin!"
Jing Chunxi told Jing Qiurong about Tao Jin last night. He was an indispensable figure on the road to exile and was involved in many dangerous things, but no one understood his true identity.
When Jing Yi heard the name "Tao Jin", he was not familiar with it. Although he was curious, he saw that the mother and daughter did not intend to explain further. He just thought that they must be trustworthy people left in Beijing by the old general, so he did not investigate further.
Anyone who could tell them such a secret matter must be one of their own, and not a bad person. But judging by what the Fourth Prince's attendant did today, Jing Chunxi's information might not be 100% correct, but it should be nine out of ten times correct.
Jing Qiurong looked at Jing Yi, who was secretly calculating, and asked, "So what are you going to do?"
Jing Yi first looked at Jing Qiurong, then glanced at Jing Chunxi before saying, "We can only outsmart them, not attack with force."
Seeing that they didn't understand, he continued after a while, "A few days ago, I discovered something unusual in Fubo Ridge, so I went to visit that villa with two of my men. It's not very big, but it's heavily guarded and has tunnels.
The distance from the middle of the mountain to the villa is only a dozen miles, but there are six checkpoints, guarded by guards dressed as mountain people and hunters. Without some skills, it is impossible to go up the mountain.
After saying that, he glanced at Jing Chunxi again, not knowing what he meant.
He continued, "That villa is not on the top of a mountain, but is built along the top of a large canyon between two mountains. The only way in and out is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall into the canyon dozens of feet deep.
The walls of the courtyard are nine feet high, not only guarded but also hidden traps."
Jing Yi's expression was very serious when he said this, even colder than the expression Jing Chunxi had when he saw him yesterday morning and this afternoon.
The meaning is very clear. It is difficult to get in, let alone attack by force.
"Then how can we outsmart them?"
Jing Qiurong asked again, looking at Jing Yi a little nervously.
They all understood that if this money continued to be in the hands of the Fourth Prince, he would certainly use all his tricks to turn the situation upside down. If he were to sit in that high position, the common people and the loyal ministers who were originally against him would surely suffer, and their Jing family would be the first to be wiped out.
Jing Chunxi had thought he would have some astonishing plan, but unexpectedly, even when talking about outsmarting, he still shook his head: "I haven't come up with a perfect plan yet.
But we must wait until their convoy leaves Fubo Ridge before we can ambush them and seize the treasure."
Jing Chunxi, who had originally leaned forward slightly to hear what was going on, then sat back slightly and straightened her body. She did not think this was a foolproof plan.
It’s not that she underestimated Jing Yi. In Jing Chunxi’s opinion, there would be no perfect plan at this time.
That was a large convoy of sixty carriages. There were already many escorts from the escort agency, and many guards followed them. Even if he used the poison and drugs he had, Jing Chunxi felt that it was unlikely that they would be able to rob people on the road.
Even if they had the ability to rob the caravan, who could hide such a large amount of property? In just three days, they couldn't possibly find such a place to hide it. And if they transported it to Qingshan Villa or Qingshui River, they could follow the track and capture them, car and people.
She wouldn't take that risk.
