Chapter 469: A Storm is Brewing; Emptying Two Private Treasurys in Jiangnan

Xue Baochai saw that Shi Qingxuan at the door was no less beautiful or elegant than herself.

They assumed he was someone from the prince's residence and quickly bowed in greeting.

"Baochai greets her elder sister."

Shi Qingxuan originally wanted to tease Qin Han a bit, but her face turned slightly red when she was called "sister".

"No, no, no, I'm not some older sister, I'm just a doctor who treats patients."

Qin Han recalled the intelligence that Shangguan Xiaoxian had sent him earlier.

"Didn't you say you were looking for the divine physician who saved Lin Daiyu? This is the one right in front of you."

Xue Baochai was somewhat embarrassed.

Seeking a miracle doctor was a pretense; the real purpose was to see the King of Qin.

Shi Qingxuan snorted twice but didn't say anything.

"Speaking of which, I have made a new discovery about the Love Flower Poison. You would never guess that it can be used to save lives."

She took a petal of a love flower from her sleeve.

"I'm trying to make something new with this love flower poison, but I need two medicinal herbs as a catalyst."

Qin Han raised an eyebrow. Seeing that this woman was no longer afraid of the love flower, she must have made a new discovery.

"Tell me, what medicinal herbs do you want this time?"

Shi Qingxuan blurted out, "A hundred-year-old snow lotus and a hundred-year-old ginseng!"

Xue Baochai immediately chimed in.

"I have them all! They're all rare treasures over 500 years old!"

Shi Qingxuan's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to take Xue Baochai's delicate hand.

"Really? Then come on, take me to see it right away!"

Xue Baochai stumbled as she was pulled, and Aunt Xue stood by, somewhat at a loss, unsure whether she should follow.

Qin Han smiled and said.

"For your safety, mother and daughter, please stay here with Baochai for the time being until Madam and son return."

Aunt Xue was surprised by how thoughtful the other party was, so she agreed and followed.

Qin Han stood at the door, his smile slowly fading.

The ancestral worship ceremony is only two months away, so I need to go back to Sichuan to prepare properly.

Cai Jing and the Yuwen clan have been secretly preparing for this for years, and the twelve keys to the Jiangnan private treasury that Lin Daiyu gave them are now proving very useful.

If you don't take that money, you're a fool.

"Someone come here!"

A bodyguard strode in from outside.

"Your subordinate is here!"

Qin Han slightly lowered his gaze.

"Summon Pang Qingyun and Zhao Erhu to see me."

The guards turned and ran outside upon receiving the order.

Before long, Pang Qingyun and Zhao Erhu arrived one after the other from outside.

Pang Qingyun stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Your Highness!"

Zhao Erhu was equally respectful.

"Your Highness!"

Qin Han took out the twelve keys.

"Go and gather all the available manpower now."

"Seal off those three secret banks outside Hangzhou, and also seal off the warehouses of the Transport Bureau!"

Pang Qingyun took the bunch of keys and his expression became unusually solemn.

"Your Highness, what are we doing...?"

Qin Yu spoke calmly.

"The private treasury in Jiangnan was raided."

"All the money that Cai Jing and the Yuwen family have amassed over the years is stored in there."

Zhao Erhu's eyes widened.

"This...this means they're going to raid Cai Laogou's house?!"

Qin Han glanced at the sky outside the window.

"Once night falls, you and Wu Yang will lead the troops out. Not a single penny of the silver inside is allowed to leak out."

"Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed on the spot!"

Pang Qingyun and Zhao Erhu's expressions tightened, and they responded in unison.

"promise!"

........

Night falls.

There were three money shops outside Hangzhou, all located under inconspicuous warehouses, but unfortunately, they were all recorded in Lin Ruhai's account book.

Pang Qingyun led his men into the first money exchange.

When the iron gate was smashed open, the guards inside hadn't even had time to figure out what was happening before the screams quickly stopped after a flurry of sword strikes.

Zhao Erhu walked over and kicked open the door of the second money exchange.

"Don't you dare move! Anyone who moves will be cut down!"

The dozen or so accountants inside were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they all lay on the ground with their heads down, not daring to make a sound.

Jiang Wuyang led the remaining men to take over the third warehouse.

Twelve keys were inserted into the lock of the iron gate one after another, and the heavy iron gate opened one after another with a series of sounds.

The torchlight shone into the room.

Even Pang Qingyun, who had seen his share of things, was stunned by the sight inside the room.

Three rows of wooden chests filled with silver were piled up to the roof. When the lids were lifted, the chests were full of gleaming silver.

Zhao Erhu unconsciously swallowed.

"Brother, how much silver is that?! That old dog Cai deserves to die!"

Pang Qingyun immediately ordered his men to count the number.

More than an hour later.

The account list was then presented to Qin Han.

When Qin Han looked at the numbers written on the paper, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

A full twelve million taels of silver, plus two hundred thousand taels of gold and five hundred thousand shi of fine grain!

The remaining piles of Jiangnan silk and bundles of pig iron filled three large warehouses; the pig iron alone was enough to forge 50,000 sets of armor.

Qin Han had considered that Cai Jing and the Yuwen family must have embezzled a lot over the years, but he never expected it to be this much.

"That old dog Cai and Yuwen Huaji are really ruthless. This amount is probably equivalent to Zhao Gou's national treasury."

Pang Qingyun was also shocked.

"Your Highness, these findings..."

Qin Han said coldly.

"Seal them all off."

"Go find Yun Yuzhen to arrange boats, load the cargo onto carts overnight, and transport it directly back to Sichuan by waterway. You and Li Jing will personally escort it."

Zhao Erhu scratched his head.

"Your Highness, there are so many items, it's probably impossible to finish processing them all in one night."

Qin Han turned his head and glanced at him.

"The imperial court will soon undergo a major upheaval, and we can no longer stay in the Jiangnan region."

"After Lord Lin is laid to rest, return to Sichuan. During this period, you should transfer all troops and personnel back to prepare for the return to Sichuan."

Pang Qingyun clasped his hands in a solemn gesture.

"clear!"

......

Lin'an, Cai Mansion.

Cai Jing was sleeping in his arms with Lin Xian'er when suddenly his personal butler banged on the bedroom door.

"Master! Master, something terrible has happened! Something horrible has occurred!"

Cai Jing has been under immense pressure lately, and even the rare opportunity to fall asleep with a beautiful woman in his arms was interrupted by a loud noise.

If I hadn't known he was one of my trusted confidants, I would have loved to chop him up with a knife.

He immediately got up from the couch.

"What are you yelling about? What happened?!"

The butler's face was ashen.

"The Qin army has confiscated all three private treasuries outside Hangzhou!"

Cai Jing's mind went blank for a moment, and his vision went black.

He reached out and grabbed the butler by the collar!

"What did you say?!"

"The people on King Qin's side had no intention of reporting to the court at all; instead, they led their men and sealed off the bank overnight."

Cai Jing loosened his grip and staggered back two steps.

"Qin and Han Dynasties!"

Although he knew that the account books and letters were in Qin Han's hands, he thought that at most the other party would use them to threaten him to get some benefits, and would never reveal them to Zhao Gou.

result......

"This is blatant robbery!!"

The butler was trembling beside him.

"Master, what should we do? Should we send someone to stop them right away..."

Cai Jing raised his hand and slapped the butler across the face.

"Stop it? It takes a whole day to send a message by carrier pigeon, are you going to fly over there and stop it now?!"

Despite saying that, Cai Jing's heart was bleeding at that moment.

A full twelve million taels of silver, and most importantly, two hundred thousand taels of gold and pig iron!

That's it!

The problem is that this money is all stolen, so people don't even dare to file a complaint.

"You ruthless traitor Qin!!"
