Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Chapter 376 Where the gold is hidden

The eldest princess's mansion.

Situ Yu just walked into the house, but he broke into Situ Xue's good deeds.

A woman's intermittent gasping sounds could be heard in the house, and Situ Yu knew that today was an unlucky day.

He hurriedly walked to the garden next to him. He originally didn't want to visit late at night, but there were people guarding the mansion during the day. At night, he avoided surveillance before coming to the princess's mansion.

After a while, when he saw a figure coming out of the house, Situ Yu walked to the door of the palace and gently knocked on the door of the dormitory.

"Come in!" Situ Xue's voice came from inside the house.

Situ Yu then walked in, and saw Situ Xue arranging her hair in front of the bronze mirror under the orange light, and the room was filled with the smell of tea.

"Sister Huang, are you satisfied with the person I introduced to you this time?" Situ Yu asked with a smile.

Situ Xue had a satisfied look on her face, as if she had eaten and drank enough, and there was a different kind of charm in her brows and eyes: "Just give it a try. Although your body is good, your appearance is really not good enough."

Situ Yu smiled and said, "Sister Huang has someone she likes!"

Situ Xue tightened her collar and stared at the flickering candlelight with blurred eyes: "Jiaoyang still has a discerning eye. The little guard he fell in love with looked decent. Such a romantic man would be willing to be by his side for Jiaoyang. A little guard."

Situ Yu raised his eyebrows: "If the imperial sister falls in love with him, it will be difficult. That boy doesn't take softness and hardness, and only has the blazing sun in his eyes. However, he has a similar temperament to the prince and is a long-term lover."

Situ Xuejiao smiled and said: "This noble man is either greedy for money or greedy for sex. There is no one I want that I can't get."

Situ Yu just smiled and said, "Then I hope that the emperor's sister will get her wish."

Situ Xue turned around and looked at Situ Yu: "What's going on with the prince recently? I heard that my father promised him ten days."

Situ Yu's eyes dimmed: "He took the princess and son out for fun."

Situ Xue asked curiously: "Where did you go?"

Situ Yu replied: "Qingshui Town!"

Situ Xue quickly reacted: "No wonder my father is interested in him. In just one day, he saw that we can transport gold by water. Fortunately, we have made preparations."

Situ Yu nodded: "Yeah! I knew he was not simple, but he is really efficient in doing things, but he would never have thought that we would hide the gold there."

Clearwater Town.

The lights in the room were always on, and when Su Ying was drowsily asleep, she heard the door being opened gently.

Su Ying was startled and woke up suddenly.

The light in front of her eyes was blocked by a tall black shadow. Su Ying stood up and took a look, only to find that Situ Jin was back.

"Husband, you are back..."

Su Ying hurriedly put on her clothes and stood up. Seeing that his clothes were wet, she hurriedly got some clean clothes for him to put on.

When he returned to the house, Su Ying was completely sleepless and asked, "What can you find?"

Situ Jin curled his lips and smiled coldly: "I didn't expect that the third child is more cunning than I thought. He actually set up such a big game to wait for me!"

Su Ying poured a cup of herbal tea, handed it to him and said, "Although we can guess that the gold was transported by water, the Jishui River is so long, where did they hide the gold?"

After hearing this, Situ Jin thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Fortunately, you saw today that the woman and the official were in the same group. If we really believed what they said, Situ Yu would definitely be caught if we acted tonight. Let me know the handle again."

"Actually, I believed the woman at first, but then I went to her home and found that the yard was too tidy, so I became a little suspicious. The woman's man and child died not long ago, even if she loves clean and tidy people, How can a dead man and child be in the mood to clean up the yard? Unless the owner of the yard is gone, so the yard will remain in the same state as before the owner left."

"What's more, the woman said that the officials were always watching their home and wouldn't let her go to Pingcheng to report to the officials. But when we followed her to her home, the officials didn't stop us, and we didn't see anyone outside the house. There were traces of her, and then she refused to tell the truth, but she suddenly revealed it all when we asked to leave."

Su Ying thought of what happened this afternoon and felt a cold sweat break out on her back. She turned to look at Situ Jin and asked:

"Husband, what is hidden in the water?"

Situ Jin raised his lips and smiled lightly: "It's just some stones!"

Su Ying took out the map again, spread it out on the table of the inn, and looked carefully along the Jishui River with a candle. She looked down along the Jishui River, and suddenly her eyes fixed on one place, and she asked: " Husband, isn’t this Qingshan Temple?”

Situ Jin looked along where her finger pointed: "Well, one side of Qingshan Temple is a cliff, and underneath the cliff is the Jishui River. I originally thought that Qingshan Temple was surrounded by mountains, until the last time I went to capture Fang Chong. Found that cliff.”

Su Ying raised her eyes to look at him. Seeing her abnormal expression, Situ Jin's expression changed slightly: "You...you suspect that the gold is hidden in Qingshan Temple?"

"No...no, he is my uncle's best friend. When I came back, my uncle specifically told me that if I encounter any difficulties, I can ask for his help. He was the one who saved me that day when I was tricked by someone!"

Situ Jin was inexplicably panicked, how could such a fairy-like person have anything to do with the affairs of the court.

Su Ying asked him in a serious tone: "Husband, I don't doubt Taoist Master Qingshan. Maybe he doesn't know about this. Maybe King Yu and the others deliberately hid the gold in the forest?"

Situ Jin clenched his fist tightly, but his mind had already been moved by Su Ying's words.

She knew that what Su Ying said was possible. Although it was not confirmed, it did not mean that it was impossible.

It was impossible for the gold to be transferred out so quickly. After the accident, he sent out all his men. If it were transferred at this time, it would be easy for others to find out the traces, so they would definitely find a secret location to hide it.

However, in one night, they could not reach too far by water, so they could only be near the capital. And that night, their actions were accidentally discovered by a father and son who were fishing, so they wanted to kill them and silence them.

The place where the father and son drowned was not far from Qingshan Temple.

Su Ying knew that he couldn't accept this fact for a while. She stretched out her hand to hold his clenched fist and said softly: "I haven't seen Yao'er for a long time. Why don't we stop by Qingshan Temple to see Yao'er when we go back."

Situ Jin knew that she was trying to comfort him. Although he didn't want to believe it, the facts were before his eyes and he couldn't help but not believe it.
