Chapter 70 Digging for Ingots~
In order to comfort Chu Lange's wounded heart, Jiang Youning not only shared five or six flavors of melon seeds with her, but also reluctantly packed a few boxes of spicy strips and potato chips for her.
"Hey, come to think of it, did you know that the Duke's Mansion was surrounded and the house was directly ransacked today? All the boxes of valuables were counted and sent to the palace."
Chu Lange thought of his father having a mad fit in Qiwu Palace this morning.
Jiang Youning stood up in shock.
"The Duke's Mansion was raided?"
"Well, you don't know. I heard that he has a secret room, and the amount of treasures in it is almost enough to fill the national treasury.
Now, Father should be very happy, right? "
Jiang Youning felt mixed emotions when he heard these words.
[I never expected that the results of the battle of the Duke's Mansion would all end up in the national treasury.]
[But this result is not bad, at least I won't fall into the hands of the crazy people. ]
~~~
Not long after.
He was forced to take Chu Lange and Xiao Wukong, who were addicted to making money, out with him.
It took three days.
Ten thousand taels of gold, in full.
After giving some to Chu Lange, Jiang Youning looked at the gold all over the yard for a long time.
In the past two days, the coroners at the Dali Temple have almost finished registering the corpses.
Many people who had lost their children earlier would lie down at Xiangyuan Yayuan every day, crying and looking for their children's bodies.
It seems quite miserable...
Jiang Youning gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Chun Tao, arrange for someone to exchange all this gold for silver, and then go find my third brother and confirm that everyone whose child is missing will get a few taels. If it's not enough, tell me!"
No money, no money. At worst, she can just go and patronize those equally poor families. It seems that robbing the rich to help the poor is not impossible!
"Miss...are you serious? There are more than 7,000 taels of gold here! Not silver!"
Chuntao couldn't help but widen her eyes. She felt like she was hallucinating.
"Nonsense! Take them all away!"
Jiang Youning couldn't help but close her eyes. If she looked at him a few more times, she felt that she would regret it.
"Oh, okay, miss! Chuntao will do it right away!"
Chuntao looked at her young lady and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The young lady seemed to have an even bigger problem with her brain, and she didn't even care about money anymore.
But such a lady seems to make people want to pee in their eyes.
~~~
Some dignitaries in the capital could not help but mock Jiang Youning for his behavior. Some of them, who lost money but gained fame for Jiang Youning, were so angry that they cursed him.
But the common people's impression of her changed.
The witch of the Jiang family suddenly transformed into the kind-hearted Mr. Jiang.
Probably only Jiang Wanrong and Qing Qianxue knew the truth of the matter.
In order to shorten her sister's pain, Jiang Wanrong took some time out from her busy schedule to supervise the renovation of the tavern, requiring them to complete the work and open for business within three days so that her sister could have an immediate source of income.
As for Qing Qianxue, he pondered for a long time and finally decided to follow Qian Miao's bad idea.
then.
That night, many people from Shadow Pavilion sneaked into Jiang Youning's yard to loosen the soil.
The next morning.
Jiang Youning slept until noon. When he was about to go look for Little Wukong, he suddenly felt a pain in his knee and fell to the ground in the yard.
"Who was littering my yard?"
She got up quickly, took a look at the thing that tripped her, and couldn't help rubbing her eyes. The next second, she immediately laughed like a pug that only saw a bone.
Picking up the gold ingot, Jiang Youning gently wiped off the dirt on it and took a big bite.
It’s true!
She looked around and whispered, "Did anyone lose a gold ingot?"
Good, no one responded.
If there is no owner, then the ingot is hers now!
Looking at the place where he had just picked up the gold ingots, Jiang Youning realized that there were several raised areas in the yard. Why hadn't he noticed so many different areas in the yard before?
After stuffing the gold ingot into her sleeve, she went over and dug a hole with her hands, revealing another gold ingot.
Jiang Youning's eyes once again turned into ingots.
"Chun Tao! Go get your young lady a big shovel, and call Xiao Wukong over, so he can come with me to dig for treasure!!!"
Not far away, on a big tree, Qian Miao showed a satisfied smile.
He said this method works, right? Look at how happy Miss Jiang Liu is. She doesn't think there's anything strange about the gold ingots.
At the side, the look of disgust on Qian Yan's face became even more intense.
Look, look, look, which girl is like her who can't walk when seeing gold ingots? What would happen if she knew that her master's private vault is piled with mountains of gold and silver?
It was a pity that his opinion of her had changed a little yesterday. It turned out that she was also a woman who was greedy for money.
~~~
As he watched gold ingots being unearthed one after another, Jiang Youning's smile grew larger and larger.
Little Wukong was grunting as he dug for gold ingots. His body was covered in dirt and his face was sweaty, and he looked like a little cat, but he was still full of energy.
"Sister, I've been to your yard many times but never seen Yuanbao. How did you find it?"
Jiang Youning rolled his eyes.
"Maybe... Sister, I spent all my money on good deeds, and the Buddha was moved to tears, so he sent these gold ingots to reward me overnight!"
Really, this original body is so stupid. He guarded a yard full of gold ingots for more than ten years and didn’t even notice it!
But fortunately, this is a good deal for her.
Jiang Youning looked at the small gold ingots piled up in the box and smiled even more brightly.
She vowed to do more good things in the future.
When Chu Lange came in, Jiang Youning's yard no longer looked like a yard.
There were piles of dirt everywhere, like a disaster scene.
Not far away, Jiang Youning and Xiao Wukong, one with most of his body in the pit, and the other with only half of his head left.
Chu Lange suddenly became anxious.
"Jiang Youning, you two, come up here quickly!"
"Wouldn't it be a good reputation to give away a thousand taels of gold? Why are you so desperate to dig a hole for yourself?"
I heard that being buried alive and suffocated to death is ugly, and this princess doesn’t want to have a feast! "
