On the other side, Xu Cifu also just learned the news about the incident in Zhenguo's palace. He was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold the wine glass in his hand: "What? Did Sister Xuan pay homage to that young master?"
"Um..." Butler Xu, who was reporting back the news, looked hesitant, "Well, we haven't finished worshiping yet. However, looking at what the eldest lady meant, I didn't plan to turn back in the sedan chair and go back to the house. And, and..."
"And what?" A chill hit him, causing Xu Cifu, who was already a little tipsy, to wake up in an instant.
"Moreover, the eldest lady took the initiative to take out the dowry and said that she wanted to pay the Zhenguo government for the crime-breaking silver. The full one hundred thousand taels of gold..." Butler Xu naturally knew about the one hundred thousand taels of gold, and even He knew even more clearly that his master had secretly acted in secret.
It's over, it's over!
At this time, Xu Cifu's drunkenness completely disappeared. After a long time, he said quietly: "Tell me everything you know about what happened in Zhenguo Mansion!"
"Yes!" Butler Xu did not dare to hide anything.
When Xu Cifu heard Butler Xu mention that Xiao Jinren, the commander of the Imperial Guard, had not unpacked all the boxes for inspection, he moved the dowry out of the Zhenguo Palace, with a glimmer of calculation in his drooping fox eyes.
Not to mention whether Xu Cifu can collect another hundred thousand taels of gold, even if he really has this strength, who dares to risk being liquidated by Jinshang at this time? However, when he changed his mind, Xu Cifu had already thought of a countermeasure and asked Xiao Jinren to help share the burden.
Even Xu Cifu, who had been cautious for more than ten years and finally took the position of second assistant, figured out something after calming down a little. His daughter, whom he had kept in his ancestral home for more than ten years and rarely interfered with, might have guessed some of his thoughts early on, so she took advantage of her.
However, the only thing that Xu Cifu couldn't figure out was how this daughter knew that the emperor would suddenly issue an order today to interrogate the Zhenguo government. If he had known some rumors in advance, why would he obediently get on the sedan chair and marry her to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?
Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a serious crime that will implicate the nine tribes. Even if you want to inflict the crime, you can't stop the fact that you really have the idea of liquidation. This may lead to being implicated...
Xu Cifu's right index finger tapped on the table repeatedly, and he began to deduce the variables over and over again in his mind. Finally, he sighed and said, "Let someone make arrangements..."
"Yes!"
Let’s not mention how Xu Cifu responded. Anyway, the next few days will be very lively.
Xu Yixuan took the initiative to hand over to Xiao Jinren the real gold and silver worth one million taels, of which one hundred thousand taels of gold were twenty-two gold bars each, and the remaining silver was fifty-tael silver ingots.
Xiao Jinren signaled one of his cronies to quietly transport these large wooden boxes back to the household department to be put into the bank. However, he didn't want to accidentally turn over the large wooden box during the transportation process because it was not light, and the gold bars inside would be spilled on the floor.
What's terrible is that these gold bars fell directly! crack! Got it!
The discerning people present took a look and saw that where the gold bars were, they were clearly mud lumps coated with a thin layer of copper powder. In order not to reveal the filling in terms of weight, the mud dumplings are also wrapped with lead lumps.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. There are different opinions on where the real gold and silver worth millions of taels went.
The first person to be suspected was naturally Xu Yixuan.
Xu Yixuan was naturally extremely aggrieved by this. The one hundred thousand taels of gold was a dowry left to her by her biological mother Shen. Two days before her wedding, her biological father Xu Cifu reluctantly gave it to Xu Yixuan.
I think it took a lot of effort to count the 100,000 taels of gold on that day. After inspecting the goods one by one to make sure everything was safe, the boxes were sealed and put into storage.
