The loss of silver from the national treasury is of great importance. Of course, His Highness Qin knew that this matter should not be publicized, but that was when the silver was not found. Now that the money has been found, even if it is publicized, it will not shake the foundation of Qin. Why did he help the fifth prince to hide it?
?
Today, Concubine Gu is still thinking about blaming the assassination of Prince Zhou on him, and she wants to help the fifth prince hide it. He is stupid.
Qin Jiyan patted Gu Qiancheng's head and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you be implicated. You will take credit for any merit, and I will take responsibility for any mistakes."
"Can you please stop patting your head?" Gu Qiancheng rolled his eyes at Qin Jiyan and moved his hand away.
She's not a pet. If you keep patting her on the head like this, she can't help but rub against her and act like a baby.
"You're so tall, it's just right for you to pat your head." To prove his words, Qin Jiyan patted her twice more. Gu Qiancheng no longer wanted to speak.
Bullying her for being short is really too much.
Gu Qiancheng moved lightly, distanced himself from Qin Jiyan, and said, "Let's go, I will take you to find gold."
The credit for today's work must be attributed to Gu Qiancheng. Even if Qin Jiyan was reluctant to let Gu Qiancheng suffer, he still had to let her go.
Leaving enough manpower to guard the Star-Zhaing Tower, Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng walked out of the city with the soldiers sent by the emperor.
At this time, the crowds on the street have not dispersed yet, and the noisy shouts and sounds of playing are coming and going, but they can't cover up the sound of the horse hooves of thousands of people.
Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng traveled with thousands of people, which was so huge that it quickly attracted the attention of the people on the street. When one person discovered it, the second person noticed it, and when the third person noticed it, they would
People gathered around to watch the excitement.
However, although there were many people watching, no one dared to come forward, and no one came forward to ask questions without fear of death. The people just stood on the street and watched from a distance, and His Highness Qin ignored them.
He ran past without giving the onlookers a chance to see clearly.
"What happened? The officers and soldiers were dispatched in the middle of the night. Could it be that Xihu attacked the capital? That shouldn't be the case. We didn't hear any news during the day?"
"Impossible, I just heard from a merchant yesterday that Xihu was beaten to a pulp by us Da Qin people, and he and King Zhao are hiding in the city and dare not come out."
The people in the capital are somewhat politically sensitive. Although the imperial court has not announced any news about the war in the northwest, the people in the capital will pay attention to it. From time to time, they will ask businessmen coming and going and inquire about things on the front line.
"If King Zhao is not attacking the city, what are you doing in the middle of the night? The last time he sent troops in the middle of the night, King Zhao rebelled and sealed the city. Will he also seal the city this time?" Some people thought of the last time they sealed the city and were frightened, fearing that it would happen again.
The same thing happens again.
The last time King Zhao rebelled, it took hundreds of buckets of water to wash away the blood on the ground at Caishikou. There were so many heads there... that they could pile up into a hill.
"No, it can't be right? The emperor has recovered from his illness and the emperor's grandson has returned to Beijing. Who dares to rebel?" Hearing the rebellion, many people in the crowd became uneasy. At this time, no one was in the mood to go to the lantern festival.
He hurried home in a hurry.
"Hurry, go back quickly and gather all the food at home. If a fight really breaks out, we can stay at home for a while."
"Hurry and find the young master. Let's go back quickly. Don't let anything happen."
"Miss, it's getting late, we should go back."
…
The sound of horse hoofbeats gradually faded away, and the people who gathered around to watch the excitement dispersed one by one, fearing that something might happen.
Ordinary people were afraid of trouble and naturally went home early. However, the spies among the people would not disperse easily. They followed quietly one by one for fear of being discovered by the officers and soldiers in front. These spies all ran behind the horses.
However, they could only follow them to the city gate, and don't think about it any further. Not everyone could leave the city at midnight.
Thousands of cavalry were traveling, but the movement could not be made small. The officers and soldiers guarding the city had taken precautions early and set up obstacles ten miles away from the city gate to prevent people and horses from passing through.
One of the cavalrymen brought by Qin Jiyan sped up, walked up to the officers and soldiers guarding the city first, and showed the old emperor's hand sign to the generals guarding the city: "Your Majesty's hand sign, open the city gate!"
The characters on the hand symbol were very small, but the bright red jade seal was displayed very domineeringly in front of people. When the general guarding the city saw it, he immediately bowed and saluted, and at the same time ordered the city gate to be opened.
The city gate was extremely heavy and could not be opened immediately. Qin Jiyan and his party had to wait at the door, and this time was enough time for the secret guards to clear away the rats behind them.
"There are people from the Northwest and Northern Qi Dynasties, as well as several spies from adults. I will deal with them together." The secret guard came back and returned to life, still with vitality in his body.
"Yes." Qin Jiyan nodded and motioned for the secret guard to retreat.
"Creak...crack..." The city gate opened slowly. There was only a small gap at the beginning, but it soon allowed one person to pass through. When the city gate was halfway open, enough for two horses to pass at the same time, Qin Jiyan signaled to Gu Qian
Cheng followed, and the two of them walked out of the city gate first...
Outside the city, the Wu family had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Gu Qiancheng came out, the Wu family gave a secret signal and rode forward: "Miss, the lumber shop is under our surveillance. Please follow me, miss."
Gu Qiancheng did not reply immediately, but looked at Qin Jiyan...
Although Gu Qiancheng did not dare to put full trust in the people of the Wu family, he could guarantee that there would be no problem with today's mission.
Regardless of whether the Wu family has a purpose or not, in order to win her trust, they will do their best to do things for her in the early stages.
"Let's go." Qin Jiyan had the same idea as Gu Qiancheng. He was not worried about the Wu family's spies causing trouble today. Things would go smoothly tonight...
The road is difficult to travel at night. Fortunately, the moon is bright tonight and the stars are sparse. We can travel by moonlight without worrying about falling into a trap along the way. Under the leadership of the Wu family spies, Qin Jiyan, Gu Qiancheng and his party quickly turned to a road.
Take the trail and walk towards the famous hilltop outside the city.
After walking forward for eighteen miles, the Wu family's spy dismounted and said to Gu Qiancheng: "Miss, the lumber factory is built in the forest, and horses cannot get in."
"Dismount." Qin Jiyan raised his hand, and the soldiers beside him immediately gave the order.
"Swish..." A uniform voice sounded, and Gu Qiancheng motioned for the Wu family spies to lead the way.
Both Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng knew that this hilltop was a famous mountain outside the city. There were many large timbers in the mountains. Although they were not precious timbers, they were very useful for building houses and making furniture.
The dignitaries in the capital like to use expensive wood. Most of the wood in this forest is sold to the common people in the capital, and if there is enough wood, it is sold to other places.
Therefore, there are many lumber mills for logging business in this piece of wood. The people behind the scenes use this place to hide gold, which is really not easy to attract attention. If the Wu family's spies hadn't followed the wood and found this place, Gu Qiancheng and Qin Ji
I really can’t find it for a while...
A message for readers: I came back from my morning run to take a shower, but in the middle of the shower there was a sudden power outage, so I could only use cold water... Then I rushed to work and had to go out with my long wet hair. When I got home at night, something didn't feel right. I was really dizzy.
, and then the next chapter will be about the showdown between His Highness Qin and Jing Yan. I'm afraid that I won't be able to write well due to my poor condition, so I'm allowed to rest today and take another injection tomorrow to keep my mind clear before writing.
