exile? She emptied the emperor's private treasury and escaped from famine
Chapter 159 Evacuating the Prefect’s House
As for the assassins who were handed over to the previous inn by official messengers, Wei Chuyu and Nan Zhihe felt that they should probably be returned.
If they had been in some wilderness the night before, the two of them would have killed them all long ago, but it is difficult to dispose of the bodies in the inn, and it is easy to be reported to the police. Trouble!
It was not long after nightfall, and Wei Chuyu and Nan Zhihe thought they would not take action at this time.
But just in case, Wei Chuyu also asked Bai Ge to follow those people. If anything happened, he asked Nan Zhize and Shen Cuihua to move the family to safety in advance when they saw Bai Ge.
Wei Chuyu and Nan Zhihe arrived at the old house of Governor Chen. On the outside, it looked like an ordinary wealthy family, but in fact, inside, it was rich and magnificent with carved beams and painted edifices. It was so rich!
Although not as rich and generous as the high-ranking officials at the other end of the imperial city, he was a high-ranking emperor who had no one to care about him. Chen Taishou enjoyed himself as much as he wanted. He was as arrogant and extravagant as he wanted. Gold and jade decorative paintings could be seen everywhere. Even the bowls and chopsticks brought out by the servants are made of gold and silver!
At first glance, it looks like a pretty good deal!
Wei Chuyu was attracted by the "silver clothes" here and the wealth of rich people. She just liked this kind of arrogant old hat!
Even Nan Zhihe sighed: "This is not something that the imperial salary can match. He can be regarded as a wealthy businessman."
Wei Chuyu also clicked his tongue: "This feeling is much better than living freely at the foot of the imperial city. You officials are not as good as you! But these good days are coming to an end. Who told him to kill who is not good, but must he kill us?"
Nan Zhihe also felt that it didn't matter. If he had the chance, he would still want to subvert the country, let alone these dog officials.
So, the two of them went to their treasury without any ceremony.
Under the house, Wei Chuyu felt that a large amount of gold and silver was hidden. Soon, Wei Chuyu found the hiding place of the property.
At first glance, there were stacks of boxes everywhere. Wei Chuyu picked a few boxes at random and looked at them. They were all full of gold and silver, or full of jewelry.
There are large ingots of gold and silver, round beans as big as broad beans, leaves made of gold, a box full of pearls, a box almost full of red coral, a box of heavy agarwood... all of them are very valuable. Valuable items are packed into categories.
Wei Chuyu's eyes were filled with joy, and he rubbed his little hands together excitedly. He walked over and saw the buildings, mountains, rivers, sun and moon, beauties, masks, and everything imaginable in life made of gold placed on the display shelf. of various carvings.
Each one is lifelike, ingenious and breathtaking.
Taishou Chen seems to particularly like these gold toys. You can get a glimpse of them from outside, and she likes them too!
Wei Chuyu happily took it back and forth, and Nan Zhihe couldn't help but laugh a little when he saw her dazed face that couldn't close her mouth because of the gold and silver.
Wei Chuyu took it back and forth happily, and Nan Zhihe couldn't help but laugh a little when he saw her looking dazed and unable to close her mouth as she stared at the gold and silver for a moment.
Putting his slender knuckles on a secretly sealed book, Nan Zhihe randomly picked up a few books and looked at them. Suddenly his eyes changed and he waved gently to Wei Chuyu.
"Chu Yu, come here."
When Wei Chuyu heard this, she poked her little head out of the warehouse and walked over gently. The man held the booklet in his hand and said to her as she approached.
"Guess what I found? There are actually account books and records of tributes paid to the fifth prince."
Hearing this, Wei Chuyu's pupils dilated slightly, and soon she narrowed her apricot eyes and said, "Is this Governor Chen a member of the fifth prince?"
"It should be." Nan Zhihe said with almost certainty, "Prefect Chen is very secretive. If I didn't deduce it from certain keywords, it would be difficult for others to guess that the other party is the fifth prince."
Wei Chuyu rubbed her small chin with her index finger: "No wonder he is so courageous. Without the royal relatives behind him, how could he dare?"
"What about the Fifth Prince?"
"This person is difficult to judge."
Wei Chuyu: "?"
"I have no personal grudge against him, but he... framed me several times." The man said calmly.
"How many times?" Wei Chuyu said emphatically.
"Yes." Nan Zhihe nodded lightly, "But I discovered it all in time, and I still can't figure it out. He and I have no enmity, but he treats me..."
Wei Chuyu tilted his head slightly: "Is it hindering his interests?"
Nan Zhihe thought for a moment, shook his head slowly and said, "It doesn't seem like that. I originally planned to fade away and step down from military power within a year or two, but it seems they can't wait any longer."
He put the book back, stood with his hands behind his back and said, "The fifth prince seems to be a gentle and gentle man, but he has been highly regarded by the royal family since he was born. It can be said that the journey has been smooth.
Even the prince who was established earlier is seriously ill himself, which does not hinder him, so the third prince can't help but be cautious..."
Before he could say anything, Wei Chuyu had already responded: "Easy to be conceited?"
Nan Zhihe's dark eyes suddenly lit up, he stared at the woman with interest and said, "My wife is smart, we should all be careful when meeting this person."
Wei Chuyu nodded.
The two of them didn't know that the fifth prince they were talking about met with them forcefully not long after, and even brought someone they didn't like with him.
In this secret room, Wei Chuyu and Nan Zhihe flipped through other books and found that Taishou Chen still had a lot of shady private property. In addition, his collusion with bandits in selling salt was not shown. It seemed that this person was very cunning.
However, Wei Chuyu found two century-old ginseng. Their outer boxes were exactly the same as those found in the bandit leader's house. There was also a dried tiger head. The treatment of the tiger head was also very similar to that of the bandit leader's house. Furthermore, There is a room full of white salt, which shows that the two are inextricably linked, which can be regarded as a stone hammer.
In addition to this place underground, Wei Chuyu also found two or three secret rooms containing treasures, and they were all very secret. This prefect Chen was like a cunning rabbit in his three caves, and everyone praised him for being very cunning.
After evacuating the treasures that Taishou Chen had carefully hidden, the two even "visited" him in a friendly manner.
They saw Taishou Chen lying on the bed, furious and groaning. His wives and concubines were walking in and out with sad faces and worried faces.
"Why haven't you healed me yet?"
"The master can't even hear or see us now. Madam, please call the doctor again quickly. Otherwise, the master is a man with an official position?"
"Yes, madam, we also know that you don't like us competing for favor in front of the master, but you can't not invite famous doctors for the master just because of this!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How come I don't know how to invite?! What can you do if you are shouting so loudly? Mrs. Pei, it's all your fault for being such a vixen. Our Chen family has been in misfortune since you came here! It's all your fault, sir. Come on, get her out of the Chen Mansion!"
"Madam, you can't do this, I'm still pregnant with the child."
"Madam, you can't be so jealous just because the master is ill. If the master wakes up..."
A group of wives and concubines were noisy. It seemed that they were worried about the master's bad luck and started fighting. There would be no peace in the house from now on.
After knowing that Governor Chen was in such a situation, Wei Chuyu and Nan Zhihe waved their sleeves and left without doing anything.
Wei Chuyu went back and said that there was no cure for the large dose of alcohol poisoning. Even if he survived by chance in the future, it would not be useful, and it would be a matter of years and years. They could go on their way without worries.
"But these tricks are only used on those bad officials who don't do human affairs." Wei Chuyu said with a smile.
Nan Zhihe said: "Chu Yu, I know. You don't need to explain. You have never used it on anyone before, including the branches of the Nan family. Unless they commit a crime, you act righteously."
Wei Chuyu raised her pretty eyes, pursed her lips and smiled.
In the night, the two of them headed straight for the big gloomy gambling house supported by Taishou Chen behind them.
