Chapter 89, looting Nanshan

What was particularly bad was that on the morning of the third day after two days and two nights of interrogation, His Royal Highness's people discovered that Prince Zhennan and his son had been killed under their noses.

After His Royal Highness Prince Li Yong learned the news, he went to confirm the fact himself.Seeing that the person was really dead, but did not ask about the whereabouts of the gold and silver, he couldn't help but get angry and worried: "Why don't you take good care of them? Who killed them? Check!"

The subordinate's legs weakened and he knelt down: "This...these father and son's mouths are too tight to pry open. We tortured them, but it didn't lead to death, it just made them miserable. They were all teased like this. , who knew someone would come to kill them. We...we were negligent for a moment."

Li Yong kicked the man, and Chi Yan, the shadow guard beside him, frowned: "Your Highness, the gold and silver are not found, but the people are missing. This is very detrimental to His Highness. For this plan, we must find them. Gold and silver. So much gold and silver, I don’t believe I can’t find it.”

Li Yong has never been so irritable: "Look! Find it for me! Even if you dig up the entire Nanshan Mountain, you must find it. If you don't find it, I won't return to the capital."

"Do you know who killed them?" Chi Yan asked a pawn.

The soldier handed over a sign: "Your Highness, there is a sign here. I recognize this. This is the sign that Qingying, the subordinate of Second Highness Li Ji, often hangs on his waist. He recently got a third-grade wooden sign from Wenxintang, and he also Showing it off everywhere."

Li Yong: "Is it Li Ji? You Li Ji! Knowing that I can't find gold and silver, I sent people to kill Zhennan Prince and his son. Do you want me to fall out of favor in front of my father? Wait until I find the gold and silver." Baiyin, let’s see what other tricks you have.”

Chi Yan: "Your Highness, could this gold and silver be robbed by Li Ji's people?"

His Royal Highness: "It's unlikely, but we still send people to follow them and capture them if we have the chance. If the gold and silver were stolen by Li Ji's people, his people will not stay. However, it is not ruled out. This is possible."

"If it's not Li Ji, could it be Gao Yi? Our people have met Gao Yi and the Seventh Princess."

Prince Li Yong: "If they get so much gold and silver, they will definitely want to transport it back to Beijing. It is impossible not to leave clues along the way. I think this gold and silver must still be left in Nanshan. Zhennan The king is the local emperor here. If he had hidden these things in advance, it wouldn't be surprising that we couldn't find them for a while. Now that the person is dead, it will be even harder to find them."

If he couldn't find it, what could he bring back to Beijing to explain?His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not dare to return to Beijing.What if you never find it?What he thought was a sure thing has now become the most irritating thing.

At this time, he already regretted letting his subordinates snatch the account book and make the trip south himself.The account book was originally found by Li Yao's men. If the account book was presented to the emperor by Li Yao's people, even if the gold and silver cannot be found now, all the blame can be put on Li Yao.

But in order to make a big profit from it, he did the whole process himself.

"What a bad luck! This country place is very boring, but we still have to stay. Without gold and silver, how can I return to the capital? You, think of a way for me."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced at Chi Yan.This Chi Yan is not only the leader of his shadow guards, but also quite strategic, so he deserves special attention from him.Chi Yan also snatched this account book and presented it to him.

Qing Yan said in the ear of His Highness the Crown Prince: "I don't know where the gold and silver of King Zhennan are hidden. We can't find it for the time being, or we may not find it in the future. I think that besides King Zhennan, there are also There must be a mountain of gold and silver in a person's family. Even if his gold and silver are not as much as the king of Zhennan, they are definitely indispensable." "Who?" Li Yong's eyes lit up.

Chi Yan said gloomily: "County Magistrate Cui Huaijing. Your Highness the Prince still remembers that the pirates confessed last time that they dared to be so arrogant because they had colluded with Magistrate Cui. Magistrate Cui had done more than ten years of work in Nanshan County. He has been a county magistrate for 20 years. He has made a lot of money just from shipping private salt and tea. How can he not accumulate some solid family assets? In addition to County Magistrate Cui, the local tyrants and evil gentry in Nanshan County Quite a few. His Highness the Crown Prince can start with them and give them a severe blow. Even if the combined wealth of these people cannot be worth the Zhennan Palace, it can be worth half of it, right? At least His Highness the Prince will not be allowed to return empty-handed. Jing, it’s hard to explain to the Emperor.”

Li Yong nodded and praised Chi Yan a little more: "Well, let's make two preparations! On the one hand, people will continue to search where King Zhennan's gold and silver are hidden. If they are found, there will be heavy rewards; in addition, Find a way to start from the homes of the county magistrate and the local tyrants and evil gentry here, give them a severe blow, and make sure they spit out all the money they have gained from oppressing the people over the years to me. I am robbing the rich to give to the poor, and to eliminate poverty for the people. Harmful."

Chi Yan immediately flattered him: "Yes. What His Highness the Crown Prince does is naturally for the sake of the people of the world and to create peace for all generations."

After Chi Yan ordered his subordinates to carry out the execution, he said to Li Yong: "Also, there is an underground casino in Nanshan and a place dedicated to buying and selling slaves. Presumably, they are all places to make money."

Li Yong thought for a while and said: "When you go to do these things, you must not let anyone know that these things are related to me."

Chi Yan immediately said: "Of course. I will let our people dress up as bandits or pirates to plunder. No matter what method is used, we will definitely plunder gold and silver for His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yeah." Li Yong still admired Chi Yan very much.

As a result, in the next few days, a group of terrible thieves appeared in Nanshan County. In the name of robbing the rich and giving to the poor, they robbed all the local tyrants in Nanshan County.Even the underground casinos in Nanshan County were not spared and were looted.

The magistrate's home was also ransacked, but the officers and soldiers only pretended to do so and no one was arrested.

Prince Li Yong finally found some gold and silver, but the amount was far from what he imagined.

"What's going on? Is that all?" Li Yong looked at the boxes of gold and silver jewelry, still very dissatisfied.This is mainly because the amount of gold, silver, raw ores, weapons, copper coins, etc. in the account book is so staggering that it makes the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the house look like small change.

Chi Yan said: "The county magistrate's family is indeed too small. He must have hidden his gold, silver and jewelry elsewhere. How about..." Chi Yan whispered a few words in Li Yong's ear.

Li Yong nodded after hearing this: "Okay."

Chi Yan: "Then my subordinate will execute it."
