Chapter 93 The Secret Guards Charge! (27)
002 was surprised by Xiong Bufan's attitude, but still took out some silver and gave it to the old man.
The old man bowed and said auspicious words, "Thank you, sir. May you have a peaceful and prosperous life."
Xiong Bufan carried the several-thousand-pound golden bed on his back himself and rushed up the mountain without looking back. The old man stood there in astonishment and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "This is a divine man!"
002: "Sir, you should go back now. You must be tired from your journey."
The old man waved his hand and said, "I'll head back now." Then he drove the oxcart down the mountain.
Xiong Bufan had already disappeared, so 002 quickly ran back as well.
The villagers saw a large gold nugget running towards them from afar. Da Chun shouted, "Everyone come quick! A gold nugget is coming to our village!"
"Look, it's really amazing!"
"Yes, when the gold nuggets arrive, I'm going to buy the rouge shop, then we'll never have to work again."
"That's good. I'll also ask the head of the household to serve me tea and water, and to go hunting and cook for me."
"This is indeed good. Let's enjoy the daily life of the boss."
……
They had figured out Xiong Bufan's greedy nature; as long as they were paid, they would do less work.
The gold nuggets were getting closer and closer, and everyone's eyes were burning with desire. The women hid behind the men, as they were about to direct the men to distribute the gold according to their contributions, making sure no one family could monopolize it.
Xiong Bufan was getting closer and closer. The people of Da Cai Zhai gradually saw Xiong Bufan under the big gold nugget. Someone shouted, "The boss is back! Everyone, get to work!"
Everyone dispersed in droves, leaving only the women watching the spectacle. "Our boss is really something!"
"Yes, but how much silver is this big gold nugget worth?"
"There must be tens of thousands of taels of gold, anyway, a lot of gold! We probably couldn't spend it all in our lifetime."
"Why do you think the boss is moving this? Is he going to bury it in the ground as a treasure?"
Xiong Bufan carried the golden bed and ran past like a whirlwind, and everyone quickly followed.
Finally, to everyone's surprise, Xiong Bufan was going to use the large gold nugget as a bed. To avoid feeling uncomfortable, Xiong Bufan laid out more than a dozen quilts and stacked them up to cover half of the window.
Kongkong: "Bufan, are you the Princess and the Pea?"
Xiong Bufan lay comfortably on his golden bed. "I'm not like that. When I lie on the bed, I only feel safe. She only feels the bean curd under the blanket. I'm different from her."
Kong Kong fell silent. You can never explain everything to someone who's pretending to be stupid.
The people of Da Cai Zhai saw someone sleeping on a golden bed for the first time, and even began to come in groups to visit during their rest time.
002 excitedly carried a small stool to the door to collect money. This thing couldn't be left for free; those who paid more could even lie down on it, but they would have to be given a new quilt in return.
Everyone felt cheated, but visitors kept coming in droves. Sometimes when Xiong Bufan was about to sleep, he would throw the visitors out, but he wouldn't return their money. 002 would just stand there and admire their fancy landing techniques.
A group of people were having fun on the mountain. Every day after finishing their work, they would gather together to watch the excitement and eat. It seemed that nothing that happened down the mountain had anything to do with them.
Qiao Yujie returned to the capital and officially entered the battlefield of the struggle for the throne. She was the woman standing behind Cui Haoyu. In order to facilitate the supply of military materials, with Cui Haoyu's assistance, she began to get involved in the grain industry and hoarded grain on a large scale.
Su Beichen is currently avoiding Qiao Yujie and the First Prince, as he has a good relationship with both sides. Su Beichen is caught in the middle and finds himself in a difficult position. However, the good news is that the numbers of the missing guards have been determined. Only two guards have disappeared, numbered 002 and 003, and no one knows where they are.
They disappeared shortly after the Third Prince's death, which made Su Beichen suspect that the Third Prince's death was related to them. However, the initial verdict was that the instructor of the Dark Guard Camp had murdered the master and then committed suicide.
After this incident, all the masters of the household guards in the capital had half of their martial arts skills crippled, for fear of killing their masters.
However, the problem now is that finding someone who disappeared three years ago is easier said than done. Thinking of this, Su Beichen took the gold and silver and ran to Da Cai Village again. No one but Xiong Bufan could do this.
There's nothing Xiong Bufan can't do if the price is high enough.
After Xiong Bufan got his own big golden bed, he received a fixed monthly dividend from the rouge shop. He is no longer enthusiastic about making money; the most important things for him now are eating and sleeping.
Su Beichen: "Miss Xiong, come down the mountain with me. This time, I'll arrange a special position for you in the Dali Temple."
002 was not welcoming to Su Beichen and stood beside Xiong Bufan, saying, "What are you doing here today?"
"Please help me find two people, Miss Xiong. I will give you fifty taels of gold for each one you find."
Xiong Bufan's eyes widened, and she sat up. As if she were missing a solid gold chair, she quickly asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Su Beichen: "The Third Prince's bodyguards, 002 and 003, have been missing for two years."
002's doll-like face was filled with murderous intent. If Xiong Bufan hadn't been there, Su Beichen would probably have been bleeding on the spot. Xiong Bufan noticed the change in 002's emotions and slapped her on the head. 002 looked at Xiong Bufan with grievance. She had clearly promised not to hit her in front of Su Beichen, so why did she go back on her word?
Ignoring 002's grievances, Xiong Bufan said directly to Su Beichen, "Give me the money, I've found it for you."
Su Beichen looked around; there was no one else in the room besides the three of them. He asked, "Where is everyone?"
Xiong Bufan grinned maliciously, pointing at himself and 002, and said, "Just him and me."
"It can't be you. If Miss Xiong doesn't want to help, she doesn't have to. There's no need to make fun of me." Su Beichen still held onto hope, thinking that Xiong Bufan was lying.
"002 and 003 are really here! Why don't you believe me?"
"Goodbye." Su Beichen flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.
Xiong Bufan extended Erkang's hand, "You haven't given me the money yet, I can't just tell you for nothing."
In the end, all that Xiong Bufan got in return was Su Beichen's resolute back.
This was a perfect opportunity for assassination. After killing him, they could dump him on the next hill and clean themselves up. 002 quietly followed to deal with him, but Xiong Bufan stopped him, saying, "Don't go."
"why?"
002 got hit on the head again, and Xiong Bufan said righteously, "Why are there so many whys? He can't die."
"Ok."
Su Beichen rode his horse swiftly down the mountain. He didn't believe Xiong Bufan was lying, but he also had his own selfish motives. Xiong Bufan had saved him so many times, and the Second Prince's death had no direct connection to Xiong Bufan. He could go back and settle the case directly.
There is only one possibility in this case: the Sixth Judge of Darkness poisoned his master, ultimately leading to the death of the Second Prince.
After the case was closed, the emperor said nothing, but issued an order prohibiting the keeping of secret guards in one's home. Anyone found doing so would be severely punished, and those already kept would be transferred to the position of imperial guards or released from their residence to join the army. If a secret guard harmed his master, all the guards would be punished, the commander of the secret guard battalion would be beaten to death, and the master's family would be fined a year's salary.
The emperor was still not satisfied after issuing this order, and ordered the execution of all the secret guards of the second and third princes, including those who had been assigned elsewhere.
After Su Beichen conveyed the imperial edict, he watched as his guards died one by one under the blade. Some of them didn't even know what they had done wrong before their short lives ended.
The eldest prince stood to the side and said with emotion, "The secret guards are finally going to be wiped out. Father has finally made up his mind."
No more families have been torn apart because of the secret guards. Brother Su, you've done a good deed." He patted Su Beichen on the shoulder as he spoke.
"I will pay for a proper burial for these guards."
"It is a blessing for the people that the court has such a good official as Brother Su."
Su Beichen recalled Xiong Bufan's matter and waved his hand, saying, "Your Highness is too kind. Having someone like Your Highness is a blessing for the country."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two arranged for someone to collect the body from the bodyguard, and then Su Beichen slowly returned to his home.
Su Beichen felt that he was getting further and further away from his original intention of becoming an official, and he felt somewhat sorry for the ten years of hard study he had spent in his youth. With collusion between officials and businessmen and the cover-up of corruption, he seemed to have lost his way in the future.
After downing a mouthful of baijiu, Su Beichen seemed to have briefly escaped reality.
