Chapter 33 Xu Qingwan's Small Coup to Collect Money
When Xu Qingwan stood in the darkroom with her pretty face flushed, she was simply stunned by the sight in front of her!
Several luminous pearls illuminated the entire room as if it were daytime. Rows of wooden shelves were filled with jasper jewelry, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, and boxes of gold and silver ingots were randomly stacked aside, reflecting a mind-blowing light.
This is simply a scene from a dream!
"This this……"
Her mouth was slightly open and her breathing was a little rapid. Xu Qingwan felt like she didn't know where to look with her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Wei Changtian couldn't help but want to laugh.
This was the real purpose of bringing Xu Qingwan to Zhang Mansion today.
Previously, he asked Wang Er to find out why Xu Qingwan needed money so much. He thought this woman would have some noble motives, but the result was a surprise.
There are no parents who are seriously ill in bed, no brothers and sisters who have no money to study and practice martial arts, no poor people in need of help...
Nothing!
This woman is just a money addict!
Wouldn’t this be easier to handle!
"Don't be stunned. This is the Zhang family's treasure house, and it will be confiscated soon."
Wei Changtian urged: "Hurry up and take whatever you like. Anyway, it's Zhang Hongwen's ill-gotten gains. If you pass this village, there won't be a shop like this!"
"I……"
Xu Qingwan was still standing there stupidly, but Wei Changtian no longer cared about her, and after finishing speaking, he went straight to the deepest part of the darkroom.
He doesn't like ordinary gold, silver and jewelry, but there is something he must get.
After pushing aside a bunch of messy precious medicinal materials, something hanging alone on a sandalwood shelf finally came into view.
A piece of soft armor!
The whole body is dark brown, and the tight lines are carefully arranged. If you count carefully, you will find that there are 1,080 thin lines horizontally and vertically.
Although it looked ordinary, Wei Changtian knew that this was the most valuable item in the entire Zhang Mansion.
The main material was taken from a 90-year-old pangolin demon. Its scales were ground into powder, mixed with black iron and black gold stone, melted into liquid, and then hammered for thousands of times to finally obtain these two thousand one hundred and sixty filaments.
Even if it is worn by an ordinary person, it will not be able to break through the defense if it is level 4 or below!
Xiao Feng relied on this thing to save his life in the early stage!
Although Wei Changtian doesn't think that Xiao Feng will really be killed by others without this soft armor, but at least it is a big treasure to him!
With it, personal safety is guaranteed.
With it, you can act more arrogantly.
With it, my mother no longer has to worry about my... ahem, cheating.
The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more beautiful it became. He simply took off his clothes and belt on the spot and put on the soft armor directly next to his body.
Nice, fits!
He put on his tiger dragon suit again, patted his chest happily, and looked around with some regret.
Pity.
Others are also valuable treasures, but most of them are not suitable for carrying around.
Naturally, things like banknotes that need to be passed on at a bank are not available here.
After all, it is too easy to leave traces, which is the same reason why corrupt officials in previous lives only hid cash and not passbooks and bank cards.
Wei Changtian had no plans to come back to get it next time.
This place will definitely not be kept secret for long. As long as the Xuanjing Division goes back to conduct an interrogation, the Zhang family will probably be able to find it.
Forget it, you can't be too greedy, the goal has been achieved anyway.
I grabbed a few pieces of exquisitely crafted jewelry and stuffed them into my arms, and then I remembered that there was Xu Qingwan.
After walking around in a circle, Wei Changtian finally found this woman at the entrance.
"No, what are you doing here? Have you got enough things?"
"Ah I……"
Xu Qingwan clutched the corner of her clothes and replied softly: "I didn't take it..."
"Didn't take it?"
Wei Changtian was stunned: "Why don't you take it? Just one thing here is enough for your salary for a year."
"Yes, but this is stealing..."
Xu Qingwan, who has always been cold and cold, rarely shows such a struggling expression, which proves that she is really troubled.
But for now, it seems that the moral bottom line has prevailed.
"forget about it."
After looking at her for a while, Wei Changtian finally stopped trying to persuade her: "Let's go. If you don't go back, others will become suspicious."
"oh."
Xu Qingwan responded, but did not move her feet.
She looked at a box of gold ingots not far away, and suddenly asked timidly: "You, do you want to get another... no, two gold ingots?"
"???"
Wei Changtian turned back with a question mark on his face.
No, this woman didn’t want to steal, but she asked me to steal more?
"I've already taken a lot, and there's no room to store it."
He answered with a strange expression, but Xu Qingwan was unwilling to give up. She looked straight at her with a pair of beautiful eyes, and her sparkling eyes seemed to say - I won't leave until you take it.
"..."
Wei Changtian was speechless for a while. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to walk over and pick up two half-palm-sized gold ingots.
The specifications are unified, one is twenty taels, two is forty taels.
According to the exchange ratio of 1:10 between Daning gold and silver, it is worth four hundred taels of silver.
"Okay, can we go now?"
Wei Changtian waved the gold ingot in front of Xu Qingwan and prepared to turn around and climb the wooden ladder.
But he was soon stopped again.
"Wait, wait a moment."
Xu Qingwan shouted softly and stretched out a small hand in embarrassment: "Give me the ingot."
"What?"
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment.
What is this operation??
"Why should I give it to you? You can just get it yourself if you want!"
"I told you I don't steal."
"Then what are you doing? You don't want to steal, so you just grab it from me??"
"I'm not robbing..."
Xu Qingwan blushed and didn't dare to look at Wei Changtian. She just pointed lightly at the scabbard on her waist.
The cowhide scabbard was empty because the lancet in it had just been used by Wei Changtian to poke a toad.
"You lost my knife."
"Here, this is the money you have to compensate me for the knife..."
Wei Changtian: "..."
Good guy!
I’m convinced by this wave of money laundering operations!
…
Wei Mansion, Zishi.
"Squeak~"
The door opened slightly, and Qiuyun and Yuan'er, who were waiting in the hall for Wei Changtian's return, immediately stood up.
"Madam, why aren't you asleep at this late hour?"
"I……"
Lu Jingyao shook her head and asked softly: "Is your husband not back yet?"
"Hehe, it turns out that the madam is worried about the young master!"
Yuan'er pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Don't worry. Before you got married, the young master came back very late every day. He stayed away for ten days and nights in a month!"
"Ah? Then what does he do every night?"
"Of course, go to Goulanwasi..."
"cough!"
Qiuyun's cough came a little late, and by the time Yuan'er realized what she had said, Lu Jingyao's face had already changed.
Shame, anger and sadness welled up in her heart. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only spit softly: "Bah, you are a disciple!"
"..."
Qiuyun and Yuan'er looked at each other without saying a word.
Lu Jingyao could scold Wei Changtian, but they couldn't scold him no matter what.
What's more, they didn't think the young master had done anything wrong.
By the way... isn't it normal for men to like to go to that kind of place?
