When he arrived at Lu's house, Gu Jiu saw the woman again.
Different from the last time they met, this time Gu Jiu saw anger in the man's eyes.
"The county magistrate really used a good trick. If it hadn't been for the poisoning incident, the woman would have thought that he was acting aboveboard."
Gu Jiu listened clearly and understood that the other party knew about Lu Qiuzhi's death from poisoning.
The magistrate ignored her, obviously he was more concerned about the pile of money.
Gu Jiu followed and walked forward. Looking at the box with fresh soil, he couldn't help but wonder. Was this really dug out yesterday?
"The Lu family has fallen into decline, and there is not much money left. I have personally counted it, and there is a total of two hundred taels of silver. The treasury is currently empty, and your bookstore has good profits. I heard that you have opened a It’s a new shop, right? So, this time you’ll feel aggrieved and I’ll give you fifty taels first.”
Before Gu Jiu could speak, the woman sneered and said, "As the mistress of the Lu family, I still remember clearly how many boxes are buried in the house."
This undoubtedly means that the magistrate embezzled money.
"What occasion? Why don't you take her down yet!" The magistrate turned around and ordered the yamen servant.
Feeling the magistrate's gaze, Gu Jiu pretended not to understand the meaning of the woman's words and nodded "satisfied".
"That's right. After all, I haven't done much, and all the people are from the yamen."
Seeing that Gu Jiu was so sensible, the county magistrate was quite happy and asked someone to pack the fifty taels. He said it was too heavy for the girl to carry, so he sent someone directly to the library.
"Okay, it's getting late, so you should go back early."
After settling the money, the magistrate was in a good mood and immediately wanted to go back to the Yamen.
"good."
Gu Jiu left Lu's house, walked around outside to make sure no one was following him, and then went to meet Shao Baisi.
"Have you finished dividing the spoils?"
Gu Jiu: "...Why do you speak so harshly?"
"It seems that the points are small. If you think about it, you will get a tenth." Shao Baisi said as he walked in the secret passage.
Gu Jiu: "...Why are you looking through the cracks in the door? The magistrate is the head of a county after all. As for depriving me of my three melons and two dates?"
"You should know that you are a shameless person who has enough money. If you have enough money, you won't dwell on those two words."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Jiu was speechless.
"You dig first, and I'll transport this bag out first."
Afraid of an accident and too many people to escape, so the people Shaobaisi brought were responsible for transporting them outside. Only Gu Jiu and Shaobaisi came in the secret passage.
"OK."
Gu Jiu nodded and continued digging the next piece of mud.
After Shaobai Si left, Gu Jiu stopped and started thinking about what to do.
The magistrate took part of it, and the rest had to be divided equally with Shaobaisi, which would definitely not reach the quantity. Dig up some and hide it yourself?
It's not very realistic. Shao Baisi's brain is very smart. With such a large piece of land, he can't see it if he hides it. If he hides ten pieces, he will be suspicious.
Getting half of the Lu family's money... But the Lu family's tables and other things have to be reckoned with. It's okay if I get those by myself.
Just as Gu Jiu was thinking about it, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Just as Gu Jiu came back to his senses and wanted to continue digging, he suddenly realized that Dao Shao Baisi couldn't come back so soon.
He quickly pressed the dirt that had just been removed and pulled the satin quilt aside and spread it on top.
The secret door opened, and it was the woman who came in. It must have been that the magistrate removed the Lu family's Yamen servants after taking away the money, which gave her the opportunity to sneak in quietly.
"Husband, are you here?"
He passed by Gu Jiu without squinting and walked straight towards the inner room.
"Strange, where has he gone?"
The woman muttered as she walked, with undisguised worry in her tone.
Gu Jiu carefully came out from behind the shelf. The shelf was not suitable for hiding people. To be precise, there was no place to hide people at all. The reason why he wasn't discovered just now was purely because the woman's attention was not in this place.
"Ugh."
"do not move."
Gu Jiu saw the opportunity and attacked from behind. While removing the opponent's left arm, he turned the opponent to face him. Immediately afterwards, his left hand quickly removed the opponent's right arm, and his right hand held a dagger to the opponent's throat.
After seeing the person clearly, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently: "I said just now that the dog official took the majority, why didn't you object at all? He just got here."
"I would like to advise you, if you want to survive, leave as soon as possible. After all, the Lu family is bright for a while, and it is quite easy to kill an unarmed civilian."
"Unarmed? What's in my hand?"
Feeling the coolness on her neck, the woman was not afraid at all, but looked at Gu Jiu: "Fourteen years old, and good at boxing. I think the blood of the girl is much better than that of the ordinary girl."
Gu Jiu: Huh? ? ? What a mess.
Gu Jiuzheng was surprised when he suddenly smelled a strange smell. When he raised his eyes, he found that the other party had opened his mouth at some point and was spitting out a stream of pale white stuff.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu quickly took a big step back.
"It's useless, you've already taken it. But don't worry, this thing won't harm you." As soon as she finished speaking, the woman fainted.
Gu Jiu: Huh? You killed five hundred enemies and lost one thousand! Stunned? She didn't think she was still alive and would have to come over sooner or later.
"What's wrong with you? You're tired of digging."
When Shaobaisi came in, the medicine on Gu Jiu had just taken effect.
Looking at Shao Baisi, who was almost a double shadow, Gu Jiu felt helpless. This guy wouldn't take advantage of her to dig out a bag of money while she was unconscious!
The quality is not good and he is short of money, it’s over!
No, she has to hold on a little longer!
"You...what's going on?"
Not hearing Gu Jiu's retort, Shaobai Si turned around in surprise, met Gu Jiu's eyes, and then noticed that the other person's eyes were wrong.
"It's a bit of a conspiracy, but it's no big deal. Go dig for money!"
Hearing this, Zhou Tingyue nodded slowly: "I entered the palace today..."
"so……"
"The emperor asked me to go to the north as soon as possible to suppress the bandits."
Shen Xianyue and Zhou Tingyue walked side by side. After hearing this, they were silent for a while and said, "The emperor probably noticed something and was afraid that you would help other princes rebel, so he wanted to transfer you out early."
"Firstly, it ensures that Gu Qingze, whom he values, can take office smoothly, and secondly, it avoids the damage to Beichen's combat power caused by a large-scale civil war."
"right."
Zhou Tingyue nodded and said in a slightly depressed mood: "The emperor is urging me urgently, I'm afraid it won't be delayed for a few days."
"Then create something to keep you out of the way. You are not the only general who has come to Beijing. If we give you enough troops and supplies, anyone can kill those thirty or fifty people."
Zhou Tingyue was loyal to Beichen. The emperor was his biological father after all, and he still had the idea of loyalty to the royal family.
Hearing what Shen Xianyue said, Zhou Tingyue was startled: "Ah Yue, do you have any idea?"
Shen Xianyue: "???"
"Ayue, if a person doesn't want to do something, there are thousands of reasons."
"You have a lot of troops, and the emperor dare not touch you openly. Even if you pretend to be sick, you don't have to go. Or do you want to go?"
"Or maybe you're hiding something from me!"
"I……"
Zhou Tingyue was so choked that Ah Yue was so smart that she couldn't let go of anything in front of him.
Zhou Tingyue hesitated for a moment and continued: "Father... the emperor got drunk with me today and talked about his mother... It was not his fault back then. It is indeed not easy for him after so many years."
Shen Xianyue: "..." Then why don't you think that the old emperor has doubted your identity and is using the emotional card to tell you to get out of here?
It can be clearly seen from the incident of Concubine Lin that the old emperor is not a sentimental person at all. Even if he really loved the late empress back then, it was far inferior to his power!
Seeing Zhou Tingyue's sinking look, Shen Xianyue felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. What was she going to say? What kind of light does she have to shine to wake up a man who is pretending to be blind?
"Ayue, can you help me think of a reasonable solution?"
Zhou Tingyue turned to face Shen Xianyue and asked, his words were sincere, and he thought someone was about to die.
80
"cannot!"
Shen Xianyue refused cleanly and without any hesitation.
"Why?"
A trace of disbelief flashed in Zhou Tingyue's eyes. Didn't Ah Yue help him just now? Why did it change in such an instant?
"Because you know exactly what to do!"
I am your lover, not your mother, and I am not responsible for your pretending to be blind.
"But……"
"Nothing to worry about. It's already very late today. I have to go back and rest."
After saying that, Shen Xianyue turned around and left without stopping for half a second.
Although she left cleanly, Shen Xianyue felt a little uncomfortable.
Feeling irritated and a little angry, I simply didn't go back and wandered around in various streets.
Flying to a place, a slowly walking carriage caught her attention. She was not in a hurry to go back to sleep. Shen Xianyue adjusted her breathing and followed the carriage slowly.
Slowly, other smells began to appear around her. Shen Xianyue was afraid of being discovered, so she slowly increased the distance from the carriage to about a hundred meters.
As the aura around her increased, Shen Xianyue immediately became vigilant and stopped moving forward.
The carriage still moved as slowly as a snail.
After a while, the distance between Shen Xianyue and the carriage was about 200 meters.
Just as Shen Xianyue was about to move forward slowly, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The door next to it was slowly opened, and three figures walked out quickly. Soon, with the help of everyone, a person got out of the carriage.
The distance was too far and it was dark, Shen Xianyue could only tell from his body shape that the man in front of him was a man with poor health.
As for her age, she is about forty or fifty, and should be from her father's generation.
After the people were helped down, four more people carrying the sedan ran out of the gate - the man had bad legs and feet.
As the sedan entered the door, the door was slowly closed, and the hidden auras around him disappeared one by one.
Shen Xianyue didn't move, she breathed lightly and continued to stay where she was.
After a while, the atmosphere around him suddenly became thicker again.
Sure enough, the departure just now was just a false shot.
Shen Xianyue looked solemnly at the black shadow flashing within her sight.
Such a well-trained person, definitely not an ordinary family from Beijing!
After repeating this for half an hour, Shen Xianyue slowly evacuated and looked at the surrounding buildings carefully, planning to come back during the day.
When they were approaching Xiao Mansion, Shen Xianyue suddenly remembered the small stand that Gu Qingze showed her during the day.
Following my memory, I came to the wall again. The small platform disappeared, leaving only the two small holes penetrated by the chains.
