I dare not

As soon as he said it, Gu Qiao went to the storekeeper Xiao of Sanhe Bookstore the next day, and proposed to use the plot of "Nanshan Xianyu" to make a erotic picture.He will write, use the same binding and production as the original work, and make sure to make a high-quality work.

Then he asked not to use the name of Ye Guiren, nor to tell anyone who did it.

Although erotic pictures are common reading materials, he is going to go to court anyway, so it doesn't make people feel indecent.

This is a small problem, the two have worked together for many years, shopkeeper Xiao can naturally keep his mouth shut, and immediately happily agreed.

The next day was Muxiu, just after noon, Li Xiaodong's carriage came to Ouyang Mansion to pick up Gu Qiao and Ouyang Zhiwen.

This time the two of them learned to be smart, and let Li Xiaodong quietly park the carriage at the back door, successfully avoiding Ouyang Chigong.

One of the two guards protecting Gu Qiao on the roof followed the carriage far away, and the other left Ouyang Mansion and headed towards the palace.

The Li Family Courtyard is located on Keqing Mountain in the northern suburbs of the capital.

Keqing Mountain is famous for its dotted hot springs. The rich and powerful people in Beijing have started to enclose land on Keqing Mountain to build other courtyards decades ago.

The royal family also has a palace here.

Ouyang Chigong didn't make it in time to build a small yard on Keqing Mountain because he made a fortune late, so Ouyang Zhiwen asked Li Xiaodong to take him to play several times every winter.

Go north all the way out of the city gate, and you will arrive in more than half an hour.

The Li family's yard is small, with white walls and black tiles, and a low-key front door hidden in the dense bushes. Unlike other houses where the door is built close to the road, its location is not eye-catching.

The plaque hanging on the door is written with the words "Liu's House".

Gu Qiao looked at it and thought it was the wrong way, "Is it here? Liu Mansion?"

Ouyang Zhiwen is a regular visitor here, and explained to him with a smile, "This is to deceive others, Li Xiaodong's father is very cautious, only a few of our close friends know that this is Li's yard, don't tell my father when you go back! "

Just don't tell your father? ?

Gu Qiao couldn't bear the stupidity of these two yamen.

Li Detang was very low-key when he was outside, probably he never dreamed that his son would bring the admonisher here.Poor strength.

Only after entering the door did I realize that there is a hole in the sky. The winding corridors are full of rare and rare plants, and the rockery and rocks are decorated among the vegetation.The weather has not yet warmed up, but the flowers and plants in the garden are lush and lush, as if it has entered spring.

Gu Qiao was secretly startled, this courtyard was probably more exquisite and luxurious than the Royal Garden.

"The yard of our house is built next to the hot spring, and the heat from the ground makes the yard evergreen all year round. Those flowers, plants and trees were brought back from the south by my special people."

"This is a wonderful sight," Gu Qiao exclaimed, "Brother Xiaodong is indeed an elegant person."

Complacent, Li Xiaodong dragged Gu Qiao along to watch the past.

At the end of the corridor is a row of small and exquisite wooden houses, which have not been painted and kept the original color of the wood.A closer look reveals that the wood used to build these houses has golden veins that glisten in the sunlight.

A house built with golden nanmu? !

Seeing Gu Qiao's shocked expression, Li Xiaodong approached him affectionately, and said with a smile, "I'll take you to the room later, the room is even more beautiful than the outside, I guarantee you like it, Qiaoer."

When Gu Qiao heard that he followed Ouyang Zhiwen and called her Qiao Er, she was a little disgusted, and took a step back, flattering her: "It's really beautiful, and it's even better than the Xishan Meilu I saw in the south of the Yangtze River."

Li Xiaodong was elated, Ouyang Zhiwen suddenly remembered this special hobby, and immediately said: "By the way, I share a room with Qiao Er tonight, I'm afraid to sleep alone!"

With a sneer in his heart, Li Xiaodong greeted Ouyang Zhiwen's parents, and replied: "It's natural, you can live in any room you want."

Bypassing the wooden house, you can smell a faint smell of sulfur.

The mountains and forests are filled with smog, and the warm hot soup is hidden among them.

An exquisite single-eaves and four-corner pavilion is built above the open-air hot spring pool, and thin gauze curtains are hung around the pavilion.The maids have already warmed the wine in advance, put it on a wooden tray and floated on the water.

Ouyang Zhiwen was amazed when he saw it, "Xiaodong, you are not kind, why didn't I get this kind of treatment when I came here?"

Li Xiaodong laughed loudly, "Brother Qiao is a scholar, so he naturally pays more attention to elegance, and you don't understand it, so if you get it for you, you are playing the piano like a cow."

Gu Qiao thought to herself, this is Fengya, the yarn was brought directly from Qingfeng Building, the color is exactly the same.The good open-air hot spring has become a romantic place, and the wild fun of the mountains and forests has been discounted, and the interest has suddenly disappeared.

Ouyang Zhiwen has no taste at all. His aesthetics were cultivated by his sisters in this building and that building. At this moment, he couldn't wait to take off his clothes and jump down.

Li Xiaodong looked at Gu Qiao's eyes shining brightly, waiting to see the beauty take a bath, but Gu Qiao hadn't moved yet, he urged: "Brother Gu Qiao, go down and try?"

Gu Qiao smiled and said, "I'm a little hungry now, why don't I have a meal first and then try again?"

When Gu Qiao spoke, she looked into his eyes with a slight smile, her slow tone and the slightly raised corners of her mouth tickled Li Xiaodong's heart, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat first, I'll accompany you!"

The servants quickly prepared a table of wine and food in the flower hall.

It was not long after lunch, but Gu Qiao was actually not hungry, he just wanted to delay the time and talk.

While Ouyang Zhiwen is not around now, he might as well do his best.

He had read poetry and books all the time, and he was also a writer of story books all the year round. At this time, he didn't need money for the endless beautiful words, and he coaxed Li Xiaodong to the point where he couldn't find him in a short time, and he was drunk.

"Brother Xiaodong," Gu Qiao poured wine for him again, "There must be a lot of money spent on such an exquisite garden on this Keqing Mountain?"

Li Xiaodong started talking nonsense with his tongue out, "Hey, what is this, if Qiaoer likes it, I will give it to you!"

Gu Qiao smiled, "I don't dare to do that. If Jianzheng Li knows about it, why don't he go to the Yushi to sue me?"

Li Xiaodong waved his hands, "It's all trivial." He leaned crookedly on Gu Qiao, stretched his neck and whispered, "I can afford anything Qiao Er likes, my family has a mine!"

Gu Qiao's eyes widened immediately. He restrained his excitement and pretended to ask casually, "What mine?"

Li Xiaodong was obviously very drunk, half of his body was on Gu Qiao's body, "You want to know? Follow me if you want to know, I'll take you...to...uh..."

He pointed in the direction of the wooden house, and suddenly he was hit hard on the back of the neck and collapsed on the ground.

Gu Qiao looked at the culprit who was wearing night clothes, and said dissatisfiedly, "You did it before you finished talking?"

Xiang Zenan tore off his mask, revealing a handsome face, gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't do anything again, this idiot will hold you in my arms!"

Gu Qiao innocently said: "Then what should we do now?"

"Didn't he point to that side? Let's go and look for it."

"Servants..." Gu Qiao worried, "and Ouyang Zhiwen."

"It's okay, it's been dealt with," Xiang Zenan took Gu Qiao's hand, "Come on, come with me to break into the daytime."

Gu Qiao couldn't help complaining: "You also know it's daylight, and you're still dressed in black, for fear that people won't see you."

Xiang Zenan gave him a look that wanted you to talk too much, whistled, and a dozen guards came down from the roof.He arranged for everyone to search the location, and took Gu Qiao straight to the wooden house.

Gu Qiao analyzed: "If there are secret passages and secret doors, the garden and the backyard are more suspicious. What can this wooden house be so small?"

"There are too many places to hide things in the house." Xiang Zenan walked in front and turned to him with a smile: "But, the main reason is that digging through the garden can easily stain your clothes, so let's go to a clean place. "

Gu Qiao's eyes flickered at his smile, and the annoyance with Li Xiaodong just now disappeared.

There are more than a dozen wooden houses, each of which has similar decoration and furnishings, and the two of them searched from room to room.Xiang Zenan knocked every floor with his scabbard, opened every cabinet, even looked under the bed, but found nothing.

Not long after, the guards who went to search in the yard came back one after another, and they all reported to Xiang Zenan that they hadn't found it.

Everyone was at a loss.

Gu Qiao said dejectedly: "Maybe I was wrong, they didn't hide their property in other courtyards."

"Maybe it was exchanged for bank notes and stored in the bank," Xiang Zenan said, "or hidden in someone else's house."

"Impossible. Although Li Detang's son is an idiot, he still has some skills. After being an official for so many years, this kind of money of unknown origin will not be stored outside. It must be stored in a place that he thinks is absolutely safe. As long as We have found his gold hiding place, and we can report it to the imperial court."

"Well," Xiang Zenan nodded, "The gold mine and metallurgical plant are both in Lianzhou, which is really convenient for him to transport the refined gold back to Beijing. If a large amount of gold is found in his house, I can report it to Father Huangche Check. At that time, no matter whether the blueprint is found or not, the matter of the Lianzhou Gold Mine will be investigated and found out."

Gu Qiao was not reconciled, "Why don't we look for it again."

"Okay," Xiang Zenan agreed without thinking, and told the guards: "Search the place just now carefully, and don't let go of any suspicious clues!"

The guards took orders.

The two searched the cabins one by one.

The sky was getting dark, and the windows cast shadows from the trees, making the room even darker, so the two had no choice but to light the torches and hold them in their hands.

Gu Qiao suddenly noticed that the fire was shining on the cracks in the wooden wall, reflecting the light of metal, and hurriedly grabbed Xiang Zenan's arm: "Wait! What is that?!"

Xiang Zenan pulled out his sword and inserted it into the gap, feeling something inside the wooden wall.

The two looked at each other, and Xiang Zenan immediately chopped off a piece of wood, and unexpectedly dropped a lot of gold bricks from the wall!

It turned out that Li Detang hid the gold inside the wooden wall!

They went to the other rooms, and it was the same in every room!

Every wall is paved with gold bricks!
