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 found two deep-draft passenger ships parked at the Jingyun Terminal. "
"Under normal circumstances, passenger ships should not be at such a deep water level. I originally wanted to touch it and have a look, but before I got into the water, I saw a big man patrolling the passenger ship. Guess who is that big man?"
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 Yechi 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 gangsters 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 towards people related to the Eight Kings.
Daohua: "Who says it's not the case? I killed and arrested so many people before. I thought this matter was settled, but I never thought that another Eighth Prince's son would appear."
"Xiao Yechi returned to Beijing this time and secretly created a lot of trouble. In addition, he 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 association with him proves that the Duke of Wei is also a member of the Eight Kings. This time, they can't escape."
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 see 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. Chatted about home affairs.
It wasn¡¯t until late at night that Xiao Yeyang and Sun Changze came back.
"why are not you sleeping?"
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." She helped Xiao Yeyang take off his coat, "How is it? Did you gain anything?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Xiao Yechi came back this time, and the picture is indeed not small. We found a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry on the passenger ship."
Daohua stared: "Where did it come from?"
Xiao Yeyang's face was a little solemn: "Yes, where did it come from? Judging from their appearance, they should have been transported by several ships."
Daohua probed: "Could it be left behind by the Wan family?"
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "If it belongs to the Wan family, how did they transport it 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. It shouldn't be difficult to help transport something, 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 to transport. It is impossible to not be noticed at all. Also, this My people have been keeping an eye on Luo Honghao for a while and didn¡¯t notice anything strange about him.¡±
Daohua: "Secret passage?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head again: "When the Wan family was confiscated and exterminated, the house had already been turned upside down by the Jiang family. If there is any truth, it is impossible not to know about 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 come from?"
Xiao Yeyang: "This is a big deal. I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning and tell Uncle Huang."
?¡
The Royal Palace.
The emperor heard that Xiao Yeyang entered the palace before dawn and did not have breakfast, so he summoned him: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yeyang immediately reported the discovery of gold and silver jewelry on the ship.
After hearing this, the emperor sneered: "I finally know why the treasury was empty when I succeeded to the throne. My father has really good intentions for me!"
The hall fell into silence.
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."
Xiao Yeyang nodded in agreement, and then talked about Sun Changze and Dong Yuanyao who discovered this.
The Emperor said: "Since the Sun family belongs to the Caobang family, let us provide you with some conveniences in the future."
?¡
After seven days of staring at 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 led a group of secret guards to follow the ship: "After leaving the capital's territory, we will seize the ship."
And he led the people to follow the porters.
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, these 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!¡±
When 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 was only two words on the note, "It's done".
Xiao Yeyang took the people back in frustration.
Fortunately, Sun Changze and the others gained something. Not only did they seize the gold and silver jewelry on the ship, they also succeeded in capturing 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 anymore and bowed their heads to Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang: "Where did the gold, silver and jewelry on the ship come from?"
The Hu man shook his head: "I don't know. The prince-in-law doesn't trust us Tatars. After coming to Daxia, I have only been responsible for the peripheral supervision and inspection."
Seeing the secret guard approaching him with a red-hot iron, the barbarian quickly said: "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."
Xiao Yeyang's face straightened: "How did you transport it out of the capital?"
The Hu man wanted to shake his head again, but when he saw the soldering iron stretched out again, he quickly said: "I only know that it has something to do with Duke Wei, how it was transported. I was not involved. There seems to be some secret channel." (Remember. Website address: www.hlnovel.com
