Even though Xie Changshi felt that he was well-informed and regarded money as dirt, it was inevitable that his heartbeat would speed up at this moment, his face would turn red, and his hands would raise slightly uncontrollably.

It seemed that in the next moment, his hands would touch those fascinating treasures.

After a while, Xie Changshi said leisurely: "Go and ask people to come down to count the quantity, register and make a register, and take them all to the Yamen."

The two elite soldiers who followed suddenly came to their senses, turned around and ran out with embarrassed faces.

If the yamen needs it, some of the money will naturally be allocated to the yamen. If it is not needed, all of these things will naturally be transported back to Beijing.

Xie Changshi turned his head and glanced at these two gleaming houses, then quickly turned his head back and concentrated on these account books and picture albums.

After a while, a group of elite soldiers came down, and Jiang Kangming followed them in a hurry.

He didn't know about the huge treasure found down here, so he said anxiously: "Xie Changshi, our people learned a piece of news from those two aides."

He took a breath and said, "Ling Changshi was kicked to death by Gu Yufan."

Xie Changshi didn't even hold the account book firmly in his hand, and suddenly fell to the ground.

Very few people know about this secret passage, and Gu Yufan cleans it by himself every day. As soon as the account book fell on the ground, it stirred up a cloud of dust.

Xie Changshi and Jiang Kangming were so choked that they covered their mouths and backed away.

After a while, Xie Changshi said: "Ling Changshi was kicked to death by Gu Yufan?"

Is there something wrong with Gu Yufan?

Even if Ling Changshi didn't like him anymore, he had helped him make suggestions and killed many loyal people over the years, and in the end he ended up being kicked to death.

Jiang Kangming didn't expect it either. He shook his head slightly and said, "I also got news that this time Gu Yufan went to encircle and suppress the Duke of Qi, and he brought a concubine with him, who is Ling Changshi's biological sister!"

Xie Changshi no longer knew what words to use to describe Gu Yufan.

While we were marching and fighting, we didn't forget to have fun!

Thanks to the right time, place and people, the emperor came to power.

If Gu Yufan comes to power, the Sang Dynasty will be occupied by Beidi within a few years!

Xie Changshi waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about these people for now. Guard Jiang, please count these things with me first. Then you will personally lead the team and escort them back to the Yamen."

When Jiang Kangming heard that he was leading the team himself, he felt that these things might be more expensive.

But what he never expected was that this thing would be so valuable!

Jiang Kangming froze on the spot, his mouth opened wide, and his jaw almost dropped in shock.

I don't know how long it took before he suddenly closed his mouth with his hands, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid even the household department doesn't have that much money."

To put it bluntly, the late emperor loved extravagance and had more than three thousand beauties in his harem. He also placed the King of Chu's fiefdom in the luxurious area of ​​​​Jiangnan, and cut off half of the year's tax revenue.

In addition, the King of Chu's behavior was very similar to that of the late emperor. He tried his best to satisfy his own pockets and raised a group of idiots in the court who only knew how to line their own pockets. The Ministry of Household Affairs had already been unable to make ends meet.

It is precisely because of this that the military salaries of the troops stationed in Mobei and Lingnan have not been fully paid for two years.

After the emperor came to power, he severely punished a group of King Chu's people, which allowed Hubu to recover.

Jiang Kangming swallowed his saliva and said: "Last year, there was flooding in the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know if these river embankments have been reinforced. If not, the money will be put to good use."

Xie Changshi glanced sideways at him and chuckled: "What Guard Jiang said is true." He sighed deeply: "Now, let's start taking action."

The gold was neatly stacked in boxes. Xie Changshi took the trouble to check each one and registered it in the book. The total amount was five million taels of gold.

Thinking about his poor little highness being rewarded with five thousand gold by the emperor for the first time, he was so excited.

Xie Changshi sneered, put away these messy thoughts, and turned around to register the jewelry.

A solid gold bracelet, a jade bracelet with excellent water quality, a complete headdress made of pigeon blood...

Xie Changshi and others were registering and cleaning carefully, arranging the boxes to be sorted one by one.

After working hard until the early morning of the next day, Xie Changshi stood up dizzy.

He hugged the account book tightly and said to Jiang Kangming: "Guard Jiang, I can't do it anymore. I have to go back and rest. Please take care of these things in person."

Jiang Kangming nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Xie Changshi, I know the severity."

Of course he had to look after millions of taels of gold and countless jewelry without blinking an eye.

Xie Changshi's mind was groggy, and he felt that he should have something to do, but he couldn't resist the overwhelming sleepiness, so he got on the carriage and fell asleep.

It wasn't until dusk the next day that Xie Changshi woke up from hunger.

He slowly opened his eyes, his whole body was a little dazed, and when he looked at the bed curtains, he felt like he didn't know what night it was.

He was filled with emotion and exhausted. If he hadn't been so hungry, he would have really wanted to lie down for a while.

Xie Changshi slowly turned over, and in a blink of an eye, he saw His Highness lying beside the bed, looking at him with a smile.

Xie Changshi was frightened and sat up suddenly: "Your Highness, Your Highness."

Gu Yuzhi then stood up: "Xie Changshi, you're awake! Get up and have a meal quickly!"

He clasped his fingers and said, "We entered Jiangzhou early yesterday morning, and you were busy sorting out the yamen's files, dealing with Gu Yufan's embezzled goods, and then you kept sleeping..."

He took a breath: "If you think about it, Xie Changshi, you haven't eaten for almost twenty-four hours!"

Gu Yuzhi patted his chest gently: "Oh my God, Xie Changshi, you must be very hungry, right?"

He would starve to death if he didn't eat even one meal. Xie Changshi didn't eat for so long!

He rolled his eyes and smiled. Fortunately, Xie Changshi didn't have to worry about his height being affected by not eating on time.

Gu Yuzhi took Xie Changshi to the backyard of the Yamen. There was a simple kitchen there, and steam was coming out.

He raised his head slightly and said, "The chef was specially selected by Guard Zhang. He said he has no contact with Gu Yufan's people. The restaurant is located in a very remote location and usually only receives people from other cities."

Outer cities are generally places where ordinary people live, or have one-third of an acre of land, and do small business. They are all people with no background and no financial resources.

"Weiwei Zhang said that their chef is very bad at cooking and asked me to overcome this difficulty."

After all, those big restaurants were either Gu Yufan's own property, or those of his staff, or Princess Chu.

These people relied on Gu Yufan for their livelihood all year round, so even though they knew they were good at their craftsmanship, Guard Zhang would not be able to invite them into the house.

After all, no one can gamble with the life of His Highness, right? (End of chapter)
