The coachman hurriedly asked: "Then tell me, brother, let me open my eyes."
The man in linen swept around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and said, "Master Ao's house was ransacked, you know that?"
Seeing the coachman nodding, he continued: "It is said that the man who ransacked the house was Xiao Chunzi, the father-in-law who captured and killed Oboi in the palace. He finished the house search yesterday, and he should pay the Ministry of Households today."
The coachman wondered: "Could it be the master of the household department who discovered that Xiaochunzi's father-in-law was corrupt?"
"If it's just corruption, then it's okay, at least there is still a lot of money left."
The man in sackcloth giggled, gloating a bit: "The problem now is that Father-in-law Xiaochun, and the more than 1000 million taels of silver that were confiscated from the house, disappeared overnight!"
"More than 1000 taels!"
The coachman gasped and said in horror: "So much money, at least a dozen boxes weighing hundreds of catties, right? How could it just disappear like this?"
"A dozen boxes?"
An old man next to him turned his head, smiled contemptuously and said: "Look at your ignorance! Yesterday, the man saw it for real. The gold, silver, jewels, jade and jadeite are full of hundreds of mouths painted with gold and vermilion. Box. Just gold bars and silver ingots, let alone a thousand catties!"
"hiss--"
As soon as the old man spoke, everyone around him took a breath like the coachman.
A young man said in amazement: "Lord Ao is the number one warrior in Manchuria. He is so powerful that he can kill bullocks. So, the father-in-law who killed Lord Ao might have the power to carry it. Could it be that little father-in-law? Run away these gold and silver scrolls?"
"You know shit!"
The man in sackcloth snorted softly, obviously not looking at the young man's nonsense: "After the house ransacked yesterday, there were more than 200 guards left in Mr. Ao's mansion. These guards were dedicated to guarding the gold and silver, so many pairs of eyes stared at him. How could it be possible to run out? Now the father-in-law is gone, gold and silver are gone, if he can’t carry the five ghosts, I will never believe it!”
"Five ghosts move!"
Everyone around was amazed again.
The coachman envied: "It would be great if I could carry the five ghosts."
"whispering sound!"
A deep voice came from behind the crowd: "Five ghosts are moving, what are you talking about! Thanks to you guys who figured it out!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw an old man walking into the crowd with disdain on his face.
The old man was well dressed, carrying a bird cage and looking uncomfortable, probably a banner man.
The idle men trembled in their hearts, and hurriedly saluted the old man with smiling faces, but dared not speak again.
The guy in sackcloth was very courageous, he said with a playful smile, "My lord, we are all vulgar people, so we just talk nonsense for fun. I don't know what your old man's opinion is?"
The old banner man with his nostrils upturned, said triumphantly: "If you ask other people about this matter, you may not be clear about it. It is only the men who have people in the palace, so they know the truth."
"Talk, talk!"
Several men flattered a few words and asked the old man to elaborate, but the old man didn't agree with this.
He snorted and said loudly: "This matter is simple. Although Lord Ao is dead, Lord Ao has been in charge of the court for so many years. How many old disciples did he have? Are these people vegetarian? How can they afford such a large amount of money? Shengsheng was used to fill the national treasury? Why? You should understand the Taoism here! When the time comes, the men still have to listen to the music, so let’s go.”
Seeing the old man leave, everyone was a little disappointed.
The coachman said regretfully, "So, is there no five ghosts to carry it?"
The man in sackcloth seemed to have thought about it, and said with a sneer, "What five ghosts move? Is it just him? The old man is black and white! I think this Qing Dynasty, sooner or later, it will learn from the Ming Dynasty!"
As soon as he spoke, the faces of the people around him changed drastically.
Although what you said is right, you can't say it on the street, right?
Everyone dispersed in an instant.
The coachman reacted, and immediately ran to his cart, this place is unbearable!
Just as he was thinking of running away, suddenly he seemed to see an old man holding a birdcage and talking loudly among the crowd.
Looking at the man's back, he felt a little doubtful - isn't the bannerman master going to listen to the music?
Why are you still kidding around here?
And in another place that he didn't see, the man in sackcloth sneaked into the alley when no one was prepared, changed his clothes and got into the crowd of people discussing again...
Chapter 66 065. The Underground Palace
After returning to the place he was familiar with, the coachman finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Glancing left and right, seeing that no one noticed him, he quickly took off his hat and stuffed it under his buttocks, and then took off the mandarin jacket.
I lost my hat and changed my clothes, so it wouldn't attract attention, would it?
This little trick is the survival wisdom that the people at the bottom living under the rule of the Qing Dynasty must toast to.
After changing his appearance, he leaned over to the curtain and whispered, "Master, I'm back with my question, but it's quite messy here, why don't we talk as we walk?"
Hearing the guest humming in the car, the coachman immediately shook the reins and drove the horse to go fast.
The coachman kept his eyes on the road vigilantly, for fear of bumping into the bannerman master, but he straightened his waist so that he could stay closer to the curtain, so that he could listen to the orders of his customers.
After a while, seeing that he was far away from Aobai's mansion, he said in a low voice: "Master, I heard people say that the father-in-law Xiao Chunzi who confiscated Mr. Ao's family, and tens of millions of taels of silver from Mr. Ao's family disappeared last night." A banner man said that it was Oboi's accomplices who killed the father-in-law and smuggled away all the copied gold and silver, trying to make the father-in-law take the blame."
"Ok?"
A Ke was slightly taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Isn't it more than 1000 million taels? Why is it tens of millions of taels again?"
The coachman laughed dryly, not conscious of not spreading rumors: "The villain heard that it is tens of millions of taels."
A Ke didn't investigate carefully, she didn't know the identities of Chen Chong and the two, but after talking with Jian Ning last night, she learned a lot of information.
For example, although Jianning is a princess, she claims to have no relationship with the emperor, and is even happy to see Kangxi die...
Of course, she was skeptical about this.
Another example is that the eunuch Xiao Chunzi, who is widely circulated in the capital and famous for capturing and killing Obai, is actually Chen Chong in disguise.
She is very convinced of this point, Brother Chen is better than his master, if anyone in the capital can kill Aobai, he must be the only one who can do it.
The girl put down the teacup, and suddenly realized: No, isn't that Xiaochunzi's father-in-law, Brother Chen?
Then she thought of one more thing—since Big Brother Chen is fine, where did the money go?
With a thought in her heart, she took out a large silver ingot from her purse, turned over the silver ingot, and saw that the bottom surface was sunken, and the casting marks had long been blurred.
The sensitivity of women made the girl instantly realize that Chen Chong might have stolen the gold and silver.
