Chapter 831 Treasure
"Yuan Yao!"
"Yiyi!"
Daohua grabbed Dong Yuanyao, and before the two of them could exchange a few words, Sun Changze said to Xiao Yeyang with a serious face: "When I returned to Beijing this time, I discovered that there were two passenger ships with deep drafts parked at the Beijing Transport Pier.
”
"Normally, passenger ships shouldn't be at such a deep water level. I wanted to go over and have a look, but before I even got into the water, I spotted a big man on patrol on the passenger ship. Guess, who is that big man?"<
/p>
Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that he is a barbarian?"
Dong Yuanyao interjected: "It's those barbarians we followed back."
Xiao Yeyang's face became serious: "No wonder my people never found them. They hid in the water."
Sun Changze: "There must be something hidden on the passenger ship. I was afraid of being discovered by them and alerting them like last time, so I didn't dare to go forward to investigate. I brought Yuan Yao over overnight to inform you."
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: "You entertain Mrs. Sun, I will go to Jingyun Wharf with Nagaze now. Maybe we will soon know the purpose of Xiao Yechi's return to Beijing."
Daohua nodded: "Be careful."
After the two of them left on horseback, Dong Yuanyao took Daohua and asked: "Who is the Xiao Yichi that the young prince mentioned just now?"
Daohua said as she and Dong Yuanyao walked towards Gu Jian's yard: "The son of the Eighth Prince."
Dong Yuanyao immediately darkened his face: "Why haven't all the gang members of the Eight Kings been eliminated?"
The Dong family was deprived of their title because they were involved in the Eight Kings case. She felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart to the people and things related to the Eight Kings.
Daohua sighed: "Who says it's not true? I killed and arrested so many people before. I thought the matter was over. I never thought that another son of the Eighth Prince would appear."
"Xiao Yechi returned to Beijing this time and secretly created a lot of trouble. In addition, he also secretly interacted with Duke Wei's government. Once the matter is exposed, the capital will be shaken again."
Dong Yuanyao suddenly raised the corner of his mouth: "Amitabha, it's good that Xiao Yechi is back! The Duke of Wei's secret dealings with him prove that the Duke of Wei is also a member of the Eight Kings. They can't escape this time."<
/p>
No matter whether Duke Wei is beheaded or his house is confiscated and exiled, he will no longer threaten the Dong family.
Afterwards, Daohua took Dong Yuanyao to meet Gu Jian. Thinking that Dong Yuanyao was tired from the journey, Daohua asked her to rest after lunch, while she accompanied Gu Jian to take care of the medicine field.
A little chat about home affairs.
It wasn't until late at night that Xiao Yeyang and Sun Changze came back.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
Xiao Yeyang entered the room and saw Daohua still leaning on the bedside, holding a medical book and reading through it.
Daohua put down the medical book and got out of bed: "This is what Master just compiled. I found it very useful, so I read it for a while." She helped Xiao Yeyang take off his coat, "How is it? Have you learned anything?
?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Xiao Yechi came back this time, and the picture is indeed not small. We found a large amount of gold and silver jewelry on the passenger ship."
Daohua opened her eyes wide: "Where did it come from?"
Xiao Yeyang's face was a little solemn: "Yeah, where did they come from? Judging from their appearance, they should have been transported by several ships."
Daohua probed: "Could it be left behind by Wanjia?"
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "If they belong to the Wan family, how did they transport them out of the city gate?"
Daohua reminded: "Don't forget, Xiao Yechi has help from the Duke of Wei, and Luo Honghao is the commander of Jingwei, so it shouldn't be difficult to help transport some things, right?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head and rejected: "It is true that Luo Honghao is the commander of the Beijing Guard. It is possible to transport one or two vehicles, but it will take several ships. It is impossible not to be noticed at all. Also, this
For a while, my people have been staring at Luo Honghao and found nothing strange about him."
Daohua: "Secret passage?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head again: "The Wan family was confiscated and exterminated, and the house was turned upside down by the Jiang family. If there is really a secret secret, it is impossible not to know about it with Cheng En Gong's methods."
Daohua was at a loss: "Those gold, silver and jewelry must have a provenance. If they weren't left by the Wan family, where else could they have come from?"
Xiao Yeyang: "This is a big deal. I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning and tell Uncle Huang."
......
The next day, the Royal Palace.
The emperor heard that Xiao Yeyang entered the palace before dawn and did not have breakfast, so he summoned him: "What happened? You are so anxious to see me?"
Xiao Yeyang immediately reported the gold and silver jewelry found on the ship.
After hearing this, the emperor sneered: "I finally know why the entire treasury was empty when I succeeded to the throne. My father has really good intentions for Lao Ba!"
When the late emperor was mentioned, everyone in the hall couldn't help but lower their heads.
After a while, the emperor spoke again: "You didn't alert them, did you?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head.
The Emperor: "That's good, keep an eye on that group of people. I really want to see where your grandpa hid all the treasures in the treasury? Even the Queen Mother and the Jiang family didn't find it."
p>
Xiao Yeyang nodded in agreement, and then talked about Sun Changze and Dong Yuanyao who discovered this.
The Emperor: "Since the Sun family belongs to the Caobang family, let's give it some convenience if we can in the future."
......
On the third day of watching the passenger ship, someone moved several heavy boxes onto the ship, and then the ship sailed towards the north.
When Xiao Yeyang saw it, he immediately gave in. Gandang and Sun Changze followed the ship with a group of secret guards: "After leaving the capital, we will seize the ship."
And he led people to follow the porters in an attempt to find the location of the treasure.
Following along, Xiao Yeyang discovered that those people did not go towards the city gate at all. On the contrary, they went further and further away.
"Master, those people don't look like trained secret guards and killers."
Xiao Yeyang also noticed it. Looking at the porters talking and laughing in front, he felt that they were a group of ordinary coolies.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
While passing through a forest, several arrows flew out of the forest, killing all the porters in just a moment.
"Don't go out."
Xiao Yeyang stopped the secret guard who was about to step forward to investigate and waited silently.
After a while, a man in black came out. After confirming that everyone was dead, he released a flying pigeon.
When Xiao Yeyang saw it, he immediately ordered the arrest of people and pigeons.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang and others, the man in black's complexion changed, turned around and wanted to run away, but when he was surrounded, he immediately bit the poison in his mouth and died foaming at the mouth.
Although the carrier pigeon was caught, there were only two words on the note, 'It's done'.
Xiao Yeyang took the people back in annoyance.
Fortunately, Sun Changze and the others gained something. Not only did they seize the gold and silver jewelry on the ship, they also managed to capture a living Hu man.
The Hu people are Tatars. Although they have followed Xiao Yechi for two or three years, they are far less sincere than the dead soldiers and secret guards. They were reluctant to take their own lives and did not take poison.
After being tortured once, the Hu people couldn't bear it and bowed their heads to Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang: "Where did the gold, silver and jewelry on the ship come from?"
The barbarian shook his head: "I don't know, the prince-in-law doesn't trust us Tatars. After coming to Daxia, I have been only responsible for the peripheral supervision and inspection."
Seeing the secret guard approaching him with a red-hot iron, the barbarian said quickly: "I really don't know, but I know that there are two places for the treasure, one inside the capital and one outside the capital."<
/p>
Xiao Yeyang's face straightened: "How did you transport it out of the capital?"
