Jin Yue knew that if he wanted to launder the three hundred thousand taels of gold, he had to go through his grandfather.
So she had no intention of hiding it and gave Wang Ke'er a wink.
Wang Keer immediately went out to guard, not allowing anyone to approach the warehouse in the mansion.
"Grandpa, look."
Jin Yue opened several boxes and instantly revealed the golden gold inside.
The old Marquis's eyes widened in shock. He picked up the gold bars and saw a gold character engraved on the heavy gold bars.
"What, what's going on?"
The old Marquis knew that the combined wealth of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion did not amount to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, let alone so much gold.
"Grandfather, the three hundred thousand taels of gold extra here are exactly what King Jinyang compensated."
"Ah?" The old Marquis looked incredulous: "It's not that the gold was robbed by people arranged by King Jinyang."
King Jinyang and Yan Ruoshu were severely punished because of this incident.
Jin Yue explained: "That day King Jinyang suddenly asked me to go to Lin'an Mansion. Only then did I find out that he wanted me to receive gold compensation."
Then, Jin Yue told everything.
King Jinyang was afraid that he would reveal his and Yan Ruoshu's reputation, but he also didn't want to give him so much gold for nothing, so he staged a drama of paying compensation and then stealing.
He thought everything was foolproof, but he never imagined that Jin Yue, who was not prepared at all, could change gold into stone without anyone noticing.
Then he took advantage of the fact that the mansion was auditing the accounts to attack the Zhen family. Then when the Zhen family returned the property to the Weiwu Hou family, they unknowingly mixed the gold into it and brought it back.
The old Marquis couldn't calm down in his heart. He knew that his granddaughter was smart, but he didn't know that his granddaughter was as resourceful as a demon.
"How did you manage to change this gold into stone in front of others without anyone noticing?"
Jin Yue said: "Although I had no preparation at the time, I knew a clue about Lin'an Confucius. The location of the gold was a warehouse on Lin'an Confucius North Street.
The granddaughter found Master Kong and used this to threaten him. He told him a secret. There was a tunnel in the warehouse. I hid the gold in the tunnel, and then filled the box with stones. "
"You're a very brave girl. Aren't you afraid of being inspected by the escort agency?"
"They won't check."
"Are you so sure?"
"Those who set up the game must have thought that it would be safest to cooperate with the inside and outside, so the escort agency was the one inside. They knew in their hearts that what they were transporting was gold, so they didn't check it."
"You kid, why didn't you tell your grandfather about such a big matter in advance?"
Jin Yue shook his head: "If I informed my grandfather in advance, would he still be able to curse people in court with confidence?"
The old Marquis was startled, that was definitely not possible. How could he scold someone with a guilty conscience?
Jin Yue smiled and asked tentatively: "Grandpa, how do you think this gold should be treated?"
The old Marquis looked at the gold and was a little worried, and said: "Since it is compensation to you and your father, it should naturally go into the private treasury of your family."
Jin Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Although her grandfather had no talent and was easily swayed by women, he was fortunately not biased towards right and wrong.
The old Marquis frowned, obviously annoyed by the gold.
"This gold has no origin. If someone finds out, how can we explain it to them?"
Jin Yue smiled: "My granddaughter is going to tell you about this today."
"Oh, maybe you already had an idea?"
Jin Yue nodded. Since her granddaughter dared to ask for the gold, she had already found a reason for it.
"tell me the story."
"Grandfather, do you still remember the black cliff island that the late emperor gave to my father when my father died to save King Jinyang?"
"Of course I remember, it's just a deserted island."
"No, that is not a desert island, but a treasure island."
"How to say?"
"That Black Cliff Island hides black iron ore."
"Xuantie Ore." The voice of Marquis Weiwu suddenly became several degrees louder.
He felt his heartbeat was accelerating. He suppressed his excitement and said: "Xuantie is extremely rare. If it is made into a weapon, it can cut iron like mud. At present, our entire country of Chu only has dozens of weapons made of Xuantie. .”
Think about it, if you own a black iron mine, it is a good thing that cannot be exchanged for thirty million taels of gold. Of course, this thing can only belong to the imperial court.
Jin Yue handed a written secret memorial to the old marquis. The old marquis looked at it and said, "You mean to hide this gold in the black iron mine."
Jin Yue nodded: "You just said that what you discovered was a gold mine. You thought there was a lot of gold, but you didn't expect to find black iron."
Compared with Xuantie, this bit of gold is really nothing.
The old Marquis nodded with satisfaction and said, "You girl have an idea."
While admiring her granddaughter's abilities, she sighed: "It's a pity that you are a woman."
Jin Yue pouted with dissatisfaction: "Even if I am a woman, I am still your granddaughter and belong to the Jin family."
After saying this, the old Marquis was happy and said: "That's what you said."
——
In the Imperial Study Room, the Emperor felt so good when he saw the secret memorial handed over by Marquis Weiwu.
At this moment, he was even more excited than Marquis Weiwu. If everyone in the Great Chu Kingdom could use black iron weapons, then other countries would be nothing. Anyone who dared to invade would be killed.
"Someone is coming."
Lin Zhao, the confidant of the Great Chu Emperor, stepped forward: "Emperor, are you going to investigate?"
"You lead people to secretly visit Black Cliff Island, and you must not expose the slightest bit of information."
"Wei Chen accepts the order."
After Lin Zhao left, the emperor was in a good mood to visit his younger brother King Chu.
Looking at the sleepy King Chu, the emperor sighed countless times.
"Brother, I broke my promise and failed to protect you."
At this moment, the Great Chu Emperor did not have the majesty of an emperor. He was like an old father, looking at the person lying down in despair.
"I know that you don't marry a girl from the Jin family because you are afraid of delaying other girls, but this time you will let me be your brother for once. What if the wedding is really effective and what if both you and Lan'er can recover from your illness!"
The Great Chu Emperor stayed in King Chu's room for a full two hours before leaving.
——
The admission list for the Imperial College has come down.
To celebrate, Marquis Weiwu specially held a family banquet, and the annoying Zhang family also came.
"Old man, Jin Yu made a written promise at the beginning that those who fail will not compete for the position of marquis."
The good atmosphere was directly ruined by Zhang's words.
Meng, who was in much better health, looked at her son Jin Yu with her hands on her hands.
Jin Yu's head suddenly felt like he was really useless, and that feeling of decadence was very uncomfortable.
The old Marquis didn't know the situation and looked towards Jin Yue's table.
Jin Yue put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth reservedly, and said, "But there is such a thing."
Lao Zhen felt happy, and the unhappiness of being locked up in the Buddhist hall was gone.
Soon the old Marquis had no objection and said: "The position of Marquis should be occupied by a capable person, so that the Marquis Mansion can be promoted."
