Chapter 632 Gu Han, are you hurt?
Qin Xin raised four fingers: "Miss, this is the fourth time!"
Shen Wantang couldn't help but sigh, "This is the fourth time! They won't stop until they've completely ripped the whole Ge Lao Mansion bare!"
"Miss, thieves have been breaking into the old mansion to steal things for several days in a row. The rumor is spreading that Old Man Liu must have hidden some incredible treasure. That's why the thieves are so obsessed with it that they're willing to risk getting caught and keep stealing."
Shen Wantang felt that this matter was very strange. In the previous life, and the life before that, the Grand Councilor's Mansion had never been robbed, and ordinary thieves did not even dare to think about the Grand Councilor's Mansion.
This kind of change cannot appear out of thin air; it must be done by a person who has been reborn.
Perhaps, he knew what treasures were in the Prime Minister's Mansion in his previous life, so he went to steal them in this life.
And the only person who has the ability to sneak into the cabinet minister's mansion time and time again and escape unscathed is probably Gu Qianhan.
Of course, he probably wouldn't steal it himself, it must have been done by his elusive subordinates.
"Oh, by the way, Miss, have you heard that the Taiyu County Magistrate Ye Chongli embezzled one million taels of silver, and the silver he hid disappeared out of thin air?"
Shen Wantang was stunned. Of course she knew about this, but the question was, why was this matter revealed so much in advance in this life?
Moreover, how could one million taels of silver disappear out of thin air?
Seeing her stunned, Qin Xin assumed she didn't know, so she explained, "I've inquired. It was the prince who exposed County Magistrate Ye and told the people at the Dali Temple where County Magistrate Ye had hidden the silver. As a result, the people at the Dali Temple went to the place the prince mentioned, but they dug three feet underground and couldn't find a single ounce of silver."
"Now County Magistrate Ye has been imprisoned, but he cries out for justice every day. His wife and children have also come to the capital with him and go to the Dali Temple every day to appeal for justice."
"The prince insisted that he was not innocent, and ordered the people from the Dali Temple to torture him to extract a confession. If they arrested him by mistake, it would be his fault."
As Shen Wantang listened, he thought of Gu Qianhan again.
It wasn't just Xiao Qingyuan who knew where County Magistrate Ye hid his silver; there was also Gu Qianhan.
With Gu Qianhan's ability, it would be easy for him to send someone to take away the one million taels of silver.
However, she could see that Gu Qianhan was really short of money now!
It makes sense. If he wants to rebel, he naturally needs to recruit soldiers and buy a large number of weapons. He must also be quickly infiltrating his power in the court, and this requires spending countless silver.
Shen Wantang couldn't help but look at his boxes, which contained the thank-you gifts he had sent.
Really, I was so short of money, but I still gave her thousands of taels of gold.
This made her feel heavy in her heart.
Since she has decided to marry him, they will share life and death together. If he lives, she lives; if he dies, she must die too.
Shen Wantang breathed a sigh of relief and called out loudly, "Qingjin, Qingyin, come in!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingjin Qingyin from outside flew in and half-knelt on the ground: "Master, your orders."
Shen Wantang pointed to his boxes and said, "I'll sell everything in here and exchange it for banknotes!"
Qingjin and Qingyin exchanged bewildered glances. They both knew those boxes were filled with treasures, carefully selected by their young master as a thank-you gift to Shen Wantang. Why was she suddenly selling them? Did the young master make her angry? That wasn't right; the young master hadn't been here in the past few days!
Qin Xin was also stunned. She didn't understand. She had just been telling the young lady about County Magistrate Ye embezzling a million taels of silver, and the next moment the young lady was going to sell off everything she had? Was she not going to make it?
Du Juan was also dumbfounded. The young lady had clearly said before that these things should be kept for emergencies. When the cousin was short of money to buy goods, the young lady would rather let him borrow money from the bank than think of taking these treasures. Why is she selling them now? There is no urgent matter at the moment!
Seeing them all stunned, Shen Wantang couldn't help but smile: "Why do you all look like the sky has fallen? Don't worry, selling these is only temporary. I will make it back later."
As for now, it is naturally more important to save your life first. Every bit of silver you get will give you a better chance of winning against Gu Qianhan.
Although these treasures are not too many, they are more than enough to support some soldiers.
I hope these things can help a little so that Gu Qianhan won’t be so stretched!
"What are you standing there for? Take them away now. Sell them all. If you're slow, I might regret it."
Qingjin and Qingyin had no choice but to follow the order and move all the boxes away.
In the evening, they came back with a box and handed it to Shen Wantang.
Shen Wantang opened it and saw a full stack of banknotes inside.
She sighed slightly: "Qingjin, ask your young master to come over."
Qing Jin half-knelt down: "Miss, I have already... I have already informed the Master."
Shen Wantang had already expected that he would tell Gu Qianhan, so she was not too surprised. She did not blame Qing Jin for informing her, as she had no intention of hiding it from Gu Qianhan anyway.
She nodded casually: "Okay, just tell him, you can get up and do what you need to do."
Qing Jin didn't expect that she wouldn't be angry or punish him for telling on him. The guilt in his heart suddenly became even heavier. He didn't even dare to look into her eyes. He lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you, Miss."
Then, he stood up and walked out, going to deliver a message to Gu Qianhan again - his informing on the matter and Shen Wantang taking the initiative to tell the young master that she had sold the thank-you gift he had given her were two different things, so the young master had to know.
The night is getting darker.
Shen Wantang was already feeling sleepy, but she forced herself not to fall asleep.
She knew Gu Qianhan would definitely come, so she kept waiting.
Fortunately, he didn't make her wait too long.
Familiar footsteps were heard outside, then the door opened, and Qin Xin, Du Juan and others retreated silently.
Shen Wantang sat on the couch, leaning against the pillow, holding her chin and watching Gu Qianhan walk in.
He looked exhausted, as if he had just returned from a long distance.
There were some stubble on his originally smooth chin, his eyes were obviously bloodshot, and his handsome and indifferent face was a little tired.
It was the first time Shen Wantang saw him like this. She couldn't help but ask, "Gu Qianhan, how long have you not rested?"
Gu Qianhan sat down next to her: "It hasn't been long, it's just that I've been busy these past few days. Have you been waiting for me?"
Shen Wantang nodded: "Yes."
Gu Qianhan's eyes were filled with guilt: "I'm sorry for making you wait until now."
He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Shen Wantang's face, but when he raised his hand, he found that there was still dried blood on his hand.
He immediately dropped his hand.
But Shen Wantang was so perceptive that she immediately noticed something was wrong. She grabbed his arm and said, "Are you hurt? Let me see!"
