The amount of gold in each box is different. Excluding the hard work fees awarded to the soldiers and sealing fees, there are a total of 860,000 taels of gold buried in the pit.
The national treasury lost six million taels of gold. Although the gold that His Highness Qin found was far from enough, it solved the court's urgent need. At least this month, the old emperor no longer had to sell items from his private treasury.
The old emperor was very satisfied with Qin Jiyan's wonderful achievements just after he came back, and he didn't feel so distressed about the box of gold given away.
Fifty or sixty thousand taels of gold is a lot to ordinary people, but to a man like the old emperor who has the world in his hands, it is really nothing.
The old emperor was very happy to have recovered part of the silver, but he wanted to have some questions about Qin Jiyan's late arrival yesterday.
As the crown prince, His Highness Qin does not need to explain his actions to others, but he has to explain to the old emperor.
"Where did you go last night? Why were you an hour late?" The old emperor asked Qin Jiyan about this in person. In fact, he was telling Qin Jiyan that he was very relieved about Qin Jiyan and did not go to check on Qin Jiyan privately.
What did Yan do.
"I went outside the city." Qin Jiyan lied without blinking.
"What are you going to do outside the city?" the old emperor asked again.
Qin Jiyan said without thinking: "Guard the city and river."
"Guard the city river?" The old emperor looked puzzled.
Running out of the city to guard the city river in the middle of the night, what kind of stupidity are you doing?
Qin Jiyan didn't wait for the old emperor to ask, and said: "If I were the person behind the scenes, I would transport the money out without touching anyone, and the best way is by water. The moat in Beijing,
Connect the people in the city with water, bury the silver in the river, and dive into the water at night to drag it along without touching anyone."
Qin Jiyan didn't just talk nonsense, but seriously thought about whether this matter was feasible?
After Qin Jiyan thought about it, he decided that this matter was indeed feasible, but the amount of work was very large and could not be completed in a month or two.
"Water transportation?" The old emperor fell into deep thought, his cloudy eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After Qin Jiyan finished explaining, he stopped saying anything. Seeing that the old emperor was thinking about something by himself, Qin Jiyan didn't bother him. He explained to the old emperor's personal eunuch and left the palace.
"Your Majesty," the guard stepped forward, following closely behind Qin Jiyan, "News came from the six gates. Someone died in Ning'an Temple outside the city. Before death, the deceased drew a two horizontal and one vertical symbol with blood."
"Two horizontal and one vertical?" Qin Jiyan paused, turned around and asked, "Who is the deceased?"
"A sweeping monk from Ning'an Temple, who is thirty-seven years old this year, became a monk in Ning'an Temple 13 years ago. He has been working as a sweeping monk and rarely appeared in front of others. Until his death, few people in Ning'an Temple had seen him.
Him." The guard is someone close to Qin Jiyan, so he naturally knows how important that two horizontal and one vertical symbol is to Qin Jiyan.
"Immediately have people seal off the scene and send the officers back. The Six Doors have taken over the case." Since His Highness Qin became the emperor's grandson, the Six Doors have a tendency to overtake the Six Departments.
Qin Jiyan walked quickly towards the carriage, and as soon as he got on the carriage, he said: "Get out of the city!"
The guards rushed to Ning'an Temple with Qin Jiyan's orders...
After Qin Jiyan got on the carriage, his first reaction was to send someone to pick up Gu Qiancheng. However, thinking of the danger of this case and the fact that Gu Qiancheng had something to do today, Qin Jiyan suppressed this idea.
From now on, we should try our best not to let Gu Qiancheng come into contact with dead people, it is so unlucky!
Gu Qiancheng was at Gu's house at this time, receiving ladies who came to express their thanks.
The people who came yesterday were all high-ranking families, and there was nothing inappropriate for them to send servants. However, some families with relatively low-level families did not have the courage.
When I saw the Feng family, the Yan family and the queen's natal family sent respectable housekeepers and nannies, how dare they send servants like the Feng and Yan families did.
In many families, the head wife came in person, and those with higher status asked their daughters-in-law to come to express their gratitude and goodwill to Gu Qiancheng.
There is no shortage of well-informed people in the capital. If these ladies want to come to thank Gu Qiancheng, they will definitely ask about the people who came yesterday, the gifts they gave, and what they said. They can imitate them.
Knowing that the Feng family and the Yan family don't take the rest of the Gu family seriously, the ladies who came today will also not take these people seriously.
Yesterday, Mrs. Dou was humiliated in front of others and today she claimed that she was ill and would not come back. However, Mrs. Gu and the Second Madam were unwilling to let go of this opportunity.
One for their son and the other for their daughter. Not only did they show up shamelessly, they also brought their sons and daughters with them.
Gu Chengzhi's age is quite embarrassing, neither too old nor too young. Fortunately, today's visitors are all married women. It's okay to just meet him, and no one else said anything.
Because Gu Qiancheng trained the Yan family members yesterday, these ladies understood that although Gu Qiancheng was not very close to the Gu family, she could not bear others saying bad things about the Gu family in front of her.
Facing the attentive Mrs. Gu and the Second Madam, although these ladies were not sarcastic, they adopted a cold and indifferent attitude. As soon as Mrs. Gu and the Second Madam opened their mouths, they immediately became silent. After a while, these ladies turned in as if nothing had happened.
Other topics.
People want face, and trees want bark. No matter how thick-skinned Mrs. Gu and the Second Madam were, they couldn't stand it. After several times, they finally didn't dare to open their mouths anymore.
Gu Chengzhi and Gu Qianmeng stood beside their respective mothers, watching the ladies in the capital hold Qiancheng in their hands while being indifferent to their own mothers. They each had their own thoughts...
Gu Chengzhi felt that it was all because of Gu Qiancheng that his mother had lost face. If Gu Qiancheng died, his mother would become the princess's wife who everyone flattered.
As for Gu Qianmeng?
She gave up completely!
With such a mother and such a mother, she would never be able to marry into a high-class family and become the daughter-in-law of a high-class family. Instead of marrying into a well-known family and being a wife who no one looks down upon, it would be better to find a small family and be the head of the household.
The wife who calls the shots.
After Gu Qiancheng sent the ladies away, Gu Qianmeng found an opportunity to stay and took the initiative to step forward and said, "Sister Qiancheng, I've thought about it."
Others would definitely not be able to understand such a meaningless sentence, but Gu Qiancheng understood it in an instant, "Just think about it. Tell me, what kind of family do you want to choose?"
"Sister Qiancheng, if you can, can you marry me to someone who doesn't know how to care about our family? I don't ask for a wealthy family, I just want peace and prosperity." The scandal of the Gu family is the filth that the Gu family's daughter cannot wash away.
As long as she is in the capital for a day, she will be looked down upon by others. She does not want to be like her mother and become the object of overt ridicule and insinuation by the women in the capital.
Gu Qiancheng never thought that Qianmeng would have such thoughts. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. Seeing that her face was peaceful and not as tough as before, he understood to some extent that this little girl had been smoothed by life.
Bury your innocence and ignorance and compromise with life. Although you are disabled, only such a girl can live a good life after getting married...
