Chapter 132 Kick out a golden nest

Gu Hua did not want to be trapped by Xiao Junlin. Originally, he did not want to let his child suffer with him. However, after being forced by Wei Xingba, he suddenly remembered that he was a hidden rich man, and living there would not let his child go hungry or cold.

Therefore, he agreed to take his children to the place of exile without hesitation.

Plus, the drought in Shuzhou isn't as severe as in other places, so life here shouldn't be too difficult, right?

However, Gu Hua still took it for granted. Later, when she learned about the local situation, she understood why Shuzhou was regarded as a place of exile by the imperial court.

At this moment, Gu Hua met the man's dark eyes and turned his head away guiltily.

I thought to myself, what are you looking at? I just want to stay away from you so that you don’t snatch my child from me.

In fact, Gu Hua no longer objects to the children recognizing Xiao Junlin.

Anyway, the existence of her and her children had been reported by the general who took credit for killing the victims of the disaster to the royal family who didn't want Xiao Junlin to have an easy life.

Just from the fact that several assassination attempts on the road were quietly resolved by someone and his subordinates, it was clear how right she was to not want the child to recognize his father.

But since it is unavoidable now, Gu Hua is not a coward.

"Are you really going?" Xiao Junlin stared at the woman in front of him unkindly, pursed his thin lips, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then spoke: "The children are still so young, as a mother, can you bear to let them go to such a place to suffer?"

...they both thought of the same thing.

"Go." But Gu Hua was confident, so he said: "Why not? As for the children, don't worry. I will take good care of them."

Gu Hua left also out of consideration for Xiao Junlin.

He had just arrived here, and it would probably take him a long time to reorganize and strengthen his power here. If she and the child did not follow him to the place of exile, they would always be criticized.

It’s better to follow them, maybe you can find an opportunity to develop your own power.

There is no such thing as letting Gu Hua, who came out of the end of the world, rely on a man.

Don’t you see that most of the women who rely on men will be abandoned, and some of them who are not abandoned will become resentful women in the boudoir, and only the remaining part who rely on men know whether they are happy or not.

Gu Hua didn't comment much on the choices made by other women. Anyway, she would not rely on men to live.

Living on your own is called life, living on others is called destiny, whether it is good or bad, you have to experience it.

"Whatever you say." Seeing that Gu Hua had made up his mind, Xiao Junlin stood up angrily and left with his sleeves swung.

I thought that the child was this dead woman's, and she didn't feel sorry for him, so why should I feel sorry for her?

He strode into the study and kicked the bookshelf, unexpectedly hitting the bulge in the dark corner.

"But I don't feel sorry for the dead woman, but I feel sorry for the children. What should I do?" Xiao Junlin was still depressed. After kicking the bookshelf, he did not immediately notice that there was a dark room behind the moved bookshelf.

It wasn't until the gap between the bookshelves got bigger that he saw it. After a moment's pause, he picked up a candle from the desk, touched the dagger at his waist, and then walked in carefully.

In the dim secret room, Xiao Junlin lit the candle with a tinder. Seeing the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry piled up, there was no trace of surprise or joy at getting this unexpected fortune in his eyes.

After moving out of this house, Governor Wang prayed at home that no one would find out that he had exploited the people over the years and judged many unjust, false and wrong cases against his conscience. He also prayed that the money he received from his subordinates and wealthy businessmen, as well as other undisclosed gains, would not be discovered.

Maybe he had done too many bad things and God didn't help him. The small treasury he had accumulated over the years was kicked away by Xiao Junlin unintentionally.

"Three years as a clean prefect, one hundred thousand silver taels." Gu Hua, who followed to comfort the bastard, walked in and said, "This prefect is indeed a higher official than the prefect. All the gold, silver and jewelry here add up to more than one million taels. I heard that Prefect Wang has been here for more than ten years and has not moved. Not long after he came to Bashu, his wife died and his first son also became stupid unexpectedly. He has achieved everything from promotion to wealth to death."

How could Xiao Junlin not hear the sarcasm towards Governor Wang in Gu Hua's tone?

"I won't."

Gu Hua still understood Xiao Junlin's inexplicable words.

"You won't." Gu Hua curled his lips: "You were born in Rome, promotion and wealth have nothing to do with you."

Being born into a royal family and being a prince has nothing to do with promotion and wealth.

"Rome?" Xiao Junlin looked away from the small box containing the account books and looked at the woman who followed him. "Where is Rome?"

"I was born in the Prince Li's mansion in the capital, not in Rome."

"Puchi." It's no wonder Gu Hua couldn't help laughing. This feeling of being raised in a different way is a little funny, but he still explained: "Rome means being born well."

"..." Xiao Junlin thought that Gu Hua might be lying to him, but he couldn't find any evidence: "Oh!"

Gu Hua had no interest in the gold, silver and jewelry in front of him.

However, after Xiao Junlin had seen the account books showing the corruption between Governor Wang and some other people, as well as other letters exchanged with others... they found evidence of their crimes.

Neither of them cared about the gold, silver, and jewelry as they walked out, then restored the bookshelf to its original state. Gu Hua asked Xiao Junlin to wait for her for a while, then hurried back and pretended to take a package from her luggage.

When Xiao Junlin saw what Gu Hua revealed after opening it, he was still shocked. After thinking about it for a while, he came to a conclusion.

"Not long after the exile team left, they returned to the capital and robbed the princess's mansion and the storehouses of the imperial palace. You were also the thief who robbed several arrogant and domineering families in the capital."

Xiao Junlin's tone was not a question, but an affirmation.

"I am not here to ask you to solve the case, but to exchange these silver notes for real money before the world becomes completely chaotic, so that they will not become a pile of waste paper in the future."

Gu Hua was very self-aware. In the current situation, even if she took these banknotes to exchange them, people would probably not allow her to exchange such a large sum of money because they would see that she had no power or influence.

Gu Hua looked at Xiao Junlin with starry eyes. This guy was different.

How to say it? He is also a prince, and this is his fiefdom. Anyone in the bank dares to fool him, but he is the only one who dares not fool or delay when he sends someone to exchange silver.

Gu Hua: "Can you help me?!"

"You stay with the child." Xiao Junlin raised his lips imperceptibly and said, "I will help you."

Gu Hua raised an eyebrow and said in a disappointed tone: "Forget it then."

Anyway, there are so many gold, silver and jewelry in her space that they have piled up into a small mountain. It would be better if these silver notes could be exchanged, but it doesn’t matter if they can’t be exchanged.

Xiao Junlin saw Gu Hua easily give up asking him for help and pursed her lips, obviously unhappy. He didn't understand why she insisted on following him to the place of exile.

I don't know what he was thinking about, but his face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Is there a man you like in the exile team?"
