Chapter 466 No matter who it belongs to, it belongs to her from now on!
"We are now going back to the Salt Gang's territory, but the Marquis of Zhenbei had to ask Qi Jing to give Bai Kangning a few boxes of gold and silver, but he didn't say where they were."
"It's really hard to find the money after the house collapsed. You can't just leave it with you, right?"
Ran Qingxuan thought about the several large boxes. They didn’t know what happened before the explosion, but the things would definitely not have been in the room all the time.
"Look for it. Bai Kangning stays in Cangzhou all year round, and this place is where he usually lives. There must be more than what that person saw."
"Is it easy to find? Has he already moved his own treasury?"
Even though only one day has passed, it is enough to do a lot.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yanchen chuckled and said, "Bai Kangning was seriously injured. Judging from the information we got from Zhenbei Hou, he is unlikely to wake up in a short time."
"He can't wake up, but he still has his men."
Gu Yanchen shook his head: "Those people were seriously injured and in such a mess that there was no time to take care of them."
"Hehehe...That's perfect. We have plenty of time."
Gu Yanchen liked to see her cute, money-loving look, and it only took him about ten minutes to pack up the carriage and drive away.
Despite the heavy snow, the two could still smell the lingering smell of gunpowder after they arrived at the place.
Heavy snow and charred wood were intertwined, and the undamaged houses were also crumbling.
Since the Salt Gang had more than one base, most of their personnel were transferred after the explosion, leaving only a small number of uninjured people who had to take care of the injured.
It can be said that this area has become a deserted place. The two men, wearing night vision goggles, walked around and looked around in a swaggering manner.
However, after searching for a long time, they only found a box of silver bills with a burnt smell in the basement of the house where Bai Kangning lived. After counting, they found that there were more than ten thousand taels of silver.
"There must be more..."
Things like secret bases are not easy to find, so Ran Qingxuan thought for a moment and directly released the ingot.
Yuanbao is at the age of having fun, and he has run all over the space. Now that he has arrived in a new environment, he jumps three feet high.
"Stop messing around, Yuanbao. Run around and see if there's any smell like the same..."
As he spoke, Ran Qingxuan picked out a piece of clothing from the disassembled cabinet and motioned for Yuanbao to smell it.
Yuanbao was also very human. He lowered his head to sniff the clothes, then turned around and ran away.
"If we just let it go, can we find it?"
Gu Yanchen was a little skeptical that an animal could have such an ability, but Ran Qingxuan looked into the distance with great confidence.
"Wait and see, maybe!"
Yuanbao is a cat, and cats have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, so Ran Qingxuan is not worried at all.
The two of them stayed there and waited, during which time Ran Qingxuan took out some brewed chocolate milk and gave it to him.
After drinking it a few times, Gu Yanchen also developed a liking for chocolate milk, but he preferred the bitter taste.
Standing in the snow in the middle of winter and drinking a sip of hot chocolate milk, he felt his whole body surrounded by the bitter fragrance.
But before he could take a few sips, Yuanbao came running back like a gust of wind.
Ran Qingxuan put away the cup in his hand, took out a piece of dried duck meat and threw it to him.
"Did you find it?"
Yuanbao made a few gurgling sounds in his throat, swallowed the duck breast, and trotted up the mountain, looking back at the two of them.
Ran Qingxuan's face lit up with joy, and she looked proudly at Gu Yanchen who was holding the cup and smiling at her.
"What did I say?"
"Haha, I'll reward you with ingots and delicious food later..."
Ran Qingxuan turned around and followed. The two followed Yuanbao for nearly forty minutes before they stopped at the entrance of a cave.
"Is this it?"
Yuanbao was originally thinking about the delicious jerky, but he didn't expect that he would return to the original place the next second.
“Wow…”
Yuan Bao was so angry that he looked aggrieved. Thinking of the two people in the rest area, he ran away again...
The entrance to the cave outside was pitch black. Ran Qingxuan looked inside with night vision goggles but couldn't see anything. Thinking that it was dark and there was no one in the cave anyway, he just took out a flashlight to light it up.
As a result, when she got closer, Gu Yanchen behind her suddenly hugged her around the waist and fell backwards.
'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...'
A few dark shadows passed by, and Gu Yanchen finally let go of her hand and helped her up.
"Did you fall?"
"No, I'm fine!"
I didn't expect that there was a trap before I even stepped in. Ran Qingxuan patted his chest with lingering fear, thinking to himself that it was no wonder that there was no one guarding this place.
If someone who doesn't know the truth comes in, he will probably be shot through.
This time, Gu Yanchen didn’t dare to let her walk in front anymore. He protected her behind him and pulled her slowly closer.
The inside of the cave was a natural karst cave. As soon as the two entered, they were rushed by the cold air. Ran Qingxuan couldn't help shivering and muttering.
"Don't mention it, this place is really a good place to store money."
Not to mention that the entire back mountain is full of people from the Salt Gang. If you didn't know, it would take some effort just to find the place, not to mention that you would almost be hurt by the trap before you even got in.
The cave was not very big, and Ran Qingxuan was still wondering why it was so empty and whether he had come to the wrong place. At this time, Gu Yanchen pointed to a cave half a person's height not far away and motioned Ran Qingxuan to look over there.
"There were signs of dragging there."
"Go and have a look."
As the two got closer, Ran Qingxuan saw that there were many traces of repeated friction on both sides of the cave and on the ground.
After bending down and entering, the light of the flashlight was reflected back. Ran Qingxuan subconsciously closed his eyes. After Gu Yanchen moved the flashlight, they suddenly felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
"Oh my God, am I dreaming..." Ran Qingxuan said as he couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
Gu Yanchen was also a little uneasy when facing the scene in front of him.
If you ask which one has more money, Taicang Palace or Duan Chengyi's mansion, Ran Qingxuan will definitely say Duan Chengyi's mansion without hesitation...
But if we compare Duan Chengyi's mansion with the cave here, there is simply no comparison. Millions of taels and tens of millions of taels are two completely different concepts.
"Such a huge amount of gold and silver, the Salt Gang is so rich!"
"Those who have ever been able to become the leaders of the Salt Gang are all ruthless people. The saying that there is no gain without hard work is absolutely true for the Salt Gang. However, I don't believe that Bai Kangning can make so much profit from selling illegal salt?"
Gu Yanchen had never had a direct conflict with the Salt Gang, but he knew more or less everything about the Salt Gang.
Ran Qingxuan thought about it, looked at the obviously different gold and silver on both sides, and said: "Could some of this be Qi Jing's?"
"Maybe...it's possible!"
No matter whether it is Qi Jing's money or Bai Kangning's money, from now on, it is all Ran Qingxuan's money!
Ran Qingxuan took the money without mercy. Inside the space, Chang Fang, who was feeding Yuanbao snacks in the room, was stunned.
The boxes piled up like snow and soon formed a circle around the house where the money was kept. After two minutes, you couldn't even see where the house was unless you looked carefully!
Chang Fang held her chest and breathed rapidly. She didn't dare to move forward until there was no more gold or silver.
