Chapter 247 The Boy Who Scattered Money
Chapter 247 The Boy Who Scattered Money
The prime minister's residence is luxurious, but it is not entirely filled with gold and jade.
As the lights were lit one by one, the elegant prime minister's residence gradually emerged.
There is a new scene at every step. The pavilions and towers are dotted with vibrant exotic flowers and plants and bizarrely shaped stones, with green bamboos interspersed among them, which complement each other and create an extraordinary atmosphere.
Elegance and simplicity are the main features everywhere, but exquisiteness and ingenuity are also revealed everywhere. It has the spirit of literati and the glory of a century-old family.
But such a beautiful backyard of the prime minister’s mansion has now become a ruin.
Houses collapsed, flowers and plants were destroyed, and the surrounding grass and soil were turned upside down...
It is out of tune with the pavilions, towers, exotic flowers and plants nearby...
The eldest daughter of the mansion arrived late in full makeup, and when she saw the scene, her face turned pale and she didn't even notice her father and mother lying side by side on the ground.
She was supported by her maid and swaying in the wind, which made me feel sorry for her.
Li Jiaojiao, who was watching the fun on the roof, looked at her masterpiece below and nodded with satisfaction.
Yes... there is a kind of beauty that doesn't care about the lives of others.
It suits her style very well.
Next, Qi Yunyu had someone invite the doctor from the mansion. The doctor pinched each of their fingers, and both Lord Zhou and Madam Zhou struggled to wake up.
But when he saw the yard full of irrelevant people and the imperial guards, he almost fainted again.
Even if the warehouse collapsed, some things cannot be exposed to everyone!
At this point, they still thought that the warehouse had only collapsed and even if some things were destroyed, most of them were still there, at least the boxes of gold and jewelry were definitely safe.
But now that the Royal Guards have been dispatched, will anyone still care whether you can appear in front of everyone?
Every one of them started digging at the signal of His Highness the Fourth Prince.
You will definitely not get anything out of digging, because everything has already gone into other people's pockets.
Princess Fuyao, who had kept her fame and achievements to herself, yawned slightly on the roof and said lazily, "I heard from people downstairs that there was an earthquake in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, so I hurried over to see if there were any casualties, but it seems... there shouldn't be any. In that case, I'll take my leave and go back to sleep."
After saying that, she waved her hand, waved her sleeves, and walked away holding the kitten in her arms.
I don’t know how long it will take for all of them to be dug out. Anyway, it was just a horrific scene of people fainting one after another. I went back to sleep and had all kinds of dreams.
After Li Jiaojiao left, the onlookers also said goodbye and left one after another. Anyway, the Royal Guards had already arrived and they would know what happened the next day.
Of course, when they left, they all left their men behind to help dig the pit...
……
Day two.
The daylight was just right and the breeze was not dry, making it a perfect day for gossip.
then.
In the streets and alleys of the capital, there was a heated discussion about the earthquake in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion last night.
“It is said that since ancient times, things like thunder and earthquakes usually represent some kind of sign from heaven.
Now the earthquake occurred in the capital, and there was no damage anywhere, but the storehouse in the Right Prime Minister's residence was smashed. Maybe the Right Prime Minister has embezzled too much money from the people over the years, and even God couldn't stand it, so he smashed it down directly."
Some people frowned after hearing this.
"its not right.
I heard that everything in the storehouse was gone. The guards and the people from various mansions who came to help dug for most of the night, but they didn't find even a penny of silver.
Even if it was an earthquake caused by God, could it be possible that he took away the things as well?"
"Really? You didn't find even a single penny?"
"It's absolutely true. The Second and Fourth Princes were both here. They didn't leave until the morning court. They really didn't find anything. I heard that they only found fragments of the floor in the warehouse, but didn't see anything inside."
"Eh... I'm afraid they moved ahead of time, right? How could an earthquake happen to move just that one place? Was it man-made?! I'm afraid they heard something in advance and did it themselves?"
Someone suddenly interrupted and the heated discussion fell silent for a moment. Then, as if someone had suddenly enlightened us, we looked at each other, with gleams in our eyes.
Someone slammed the table and said solemnly, "It's possible that we encountered a bandit!"
Everyone looked at the man who was banging the table with an expression of "Do you think I believe it?" Hey, are you kidding me? The thief emptied the storehouse of the prime minister's mansion overnight and buried it underground...
That bandit should have come with a legion of several hundred people.
There was such a big noise, but the people in the prime minister's residence waited until the house collapsed before they heard it. Are they kidding me?!
……
In the princess's mansion.
Li Jiaojiao called Guo Ziheng, who was able to get up, to have breakfast together.
She didn’t know whether others slept well or not, but she slept well last night when she returned to her space.
Looking at the protruding treasure mountain in the space, I smile even when I sleep.
Everyone in the princess's mansion knew that the princess was in a good mood today, because Sister Su Yue gathered everyone in the mansion to the front hall to meet the princess early in the morning.
Everyone put down their work and gathered together quickly, thinking that it was an incident targeting the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and they needed to make some arrangements and precautions for the safety of the Princess' Mansion.
When they arrived at the front hall, everyone was stunned.
The princess was having dinner with a man wrapped in white cloth, and there were two large boxes on the open space in the front hall.
A box of red cloth bags, you couldn't tell what was inside; a box of pearl hairpins and jewelry, gorgeous and unparalleled.
Qingyou and Qingdai stood on either side of the box, while Suxin and Suyue stood behind the box, leaving a gap between them, which was just enough to see the two people who were having breakfast.
Those who arrived stood in a row with confused looks on their faces.
What is the girl going to do?
After a while, the person above picked up the handkerchief beside him, wiped his mouth, and said in a leisurely voice: "Is everyone here?"
Su Yue raised her eyes to look at everyone, then lowered her eyes and replied, "Miss, except for the people in the dark, everyone else has arrived."
"Okay." Li Jiaojiao did not get up, still sitting at the table, looking at the people below, and said with a smile: "Miss, I have been out for a while, and I haven't seen you for a long time. I returned to the Princess's Mansion overnight last night, and the mansion was in perfect order. Thank you for your hard work.
Do you see the two boxes in front of you? The red cloth contains silver, one hundred taels per person, and the other side contains jewelry, two pieces per person, the girls keep them for themselves, and the rest of the people give them to their loved ones, and give them to their mothers...
Anyway, you can do whatever you want with it. Okay, line up to get it, and then go back and do whatever you need to do. "
She had a faint smile on her face and her tone was extremely calm, as if what she was talking about was a trivial matter.
Of course, except for the four girls guarding the box, all the people below who were ready to follow the instructions, including Guo Ziheng who was still sipping porridge upstairs, were stunned.
How big is this fortune? How can it be lost like this?
After all, his Guo family had been rich before, but it was never like this.
There are so many people underground, how much money does it cost???
The people below were stunned. As insiders, they knew that the girl was capable, but...
Is this the confidence that comes from being capable?
This... Young Master found them a wife who is the God of Wealth?
