Chapter 532 Give the Gu Brothers a Little Shock
The two of them frowned slightly and looked at Gu Yanchen in confusion. Then Gu Yanjing said to Ran Qingxuan: "Sister-in-law, no matter what it is, we know what is important."
Gu Yanchen knew that she might reveal the secret, and he felt mixed emotions.
Once such a secret was exposed, he knew what kind of trouble it would bring to Ran Qingxuan.
Qu Feng and the others seemed to understand what Ran Qingxuan meant. They stood up and walked to her and whispered.
"Ah Xuan, you have to think it through."
“Sister Ran, I think you should be more aware of the seriousness of this matter after being instructed. Do you really want to do this?”
Seeing Qu Feng and Chang Fang being so serious, Gu Yanzong seemed to have thought of something. His breathing became slightly rapid. He clenched his fists and looked at Ran Qingxuan.
"It has come to this, there is no other way."
Food cannot appear out of thin air, so how can we explain it then?
"Big brother, third brother, I believe you also know why our Gu family was exiled."
"No matter who becomes the emperor now, even if our family doesn't want to get involved in the dispute, we must always be vigilant."
The two of them knew Ran Qingxuan and straightened their backs unconsciously.
"The Gu family is like a thorn in the royal family's body. Even if they pull it out, they are afraid that this thorn will stab them in the back at any time."
The Gu brothers felt that nothing could be more appropriate than Ran Qingxuan's apt metaphor.
"What Sixth Brother's Wife said is right. We are all at peace now because we cannot pose a threat to them for the time being."
"Plus, one of the princes has just become emperor, and his foundation is unstable, so he probably won't be able to take care of us."
As long as Emperor Mingde is still alive, perhaps a delicate situation can be maintained.
But now that Emperor Mingde is gone, both Qi Ren and Qi Jing will definitely remove the obstacle of the Gu family.
“And what I am about to tell you now, once known by the royal family, not only me, but perhaps everyone in the family will be unable to escape.”
"I understand." Gu Yanzong said in a deep voice.
“Brother…”
Gu Yanchen wanted to say something, but Gu Yanzong said directly: "Sixth sister-in-law, do you want to talk about the place where I stayed when I was injured before?"
Ran Qingxuan remained silent and nodded.
"Yes, I'm sure big brother can see it to some extent."
"Third brother, please stand up first..."
After Gu Yanjing stood up, he was a little confused and wanted to open his mouth several times to find out what was going on.
Ran Qingxuan took a huge risk by doing this. He glanced at Gu Yanchen, made up his mind, and closed his eyes.
"I hope that Big Brother and Third Brother won't be too surprised no matter what they see later."
“We were shocked…”
As soon as the two finished speaking, the scene in front of them turned white, and then without warning, it turned into a lush green scene.
The two were originally staying indoors, and they were a little uncomfortable with suddenly coming to such a bright place.
Gu Yanjing slowly widened his eyes, covered his chest and was unable to stand.
"What...place is this?"
Gu Yanzong was not unfamiliar with this place, but Gu Yanjing, who was in a coma at the time, looked like he had seen a ghost.
Without waiting for Ran Qingxuan to explain, Gu Yanzong spoke after calming down his shock.
"When I stayed here to recover, I thought we were in some secret valley. I never expected that my sixth brother's wife was a fairy from heaven."
The words "a fairy descended from heaven" almost made Qu Feng and the others laugh out loud. They tried hard to hold back their laughter and looked at Ran Qingxuan.
I mean you should tell him quickly, or he will kneel down to you when he gets better...
Ran Qingxuan was also a little amused and helpless, and quickly waved his hands.
"Brother, I'm not as amazing as you say..."
"How is it possible? Sixth brother and sister-in-law waved their hands and we appeared in this strange place. Such scenery can only be seen in heaven."
Seeing that what she said was getting more and more outrageous, Qu Feng was worried about how she would end it. The next second, Gu Yanchen gave a seemingly reasonable explanation.
"Big brother, third brother, in fact, Qingxuan has been accepted as a closed disciple by an old Taoist since she was a child, and this place was also left to her by the old Taoist after he passed away..."
Ran Qingxuan almost died of laughter at his remarks, but he forced himself to agree with him.
"Yes, my master was very kind to me. He was very concerned about me before he passed away. He was afraid that I would suffer in the future, so he left this place to me."
"And this place is hidden in the bracelet on my hand. I can come in anytime I want."
After Ran Qingxuan finished speaking, she was a little bit unconvinced. Qu Feng and the others suppressed their laughter, covered their faces and gave her a thumbs up.
“Awesome!”
As smart as the Gu brothers are, even though the remarks were a bit outrageous, they still chose to believe them.
"There are such miraculous things in the world. Since Sixth Brother and Sister-in-law are like this, I think they trust us very much."
"Don't worry, I will keep this secret in my heart forever, even if I die, I will take it with me into the coffin."
As Gu Yanjing spoke, he was attracted by the scene in front of him and couldn't help but look around.
Gu Yanzong knew it clearly in his heart and said frankly, "What Third Brother said is also what I think in my heart. Sixth Brother's wife is taking such a risk, and we two will not let you down."
Ran Qingxuan naturally understood that the Gu family would not expose her secret for no reason.
At this point, Ran Qingxuan had nothing left to hold back.
After going around to the house where gold, silver and jewelry were stored, Ran Qingxuan led them towards a large factory building in the distance.
This was built after she took away the salt gang’s stored grain and bought steel bars and a colorful shed.
In addition to the food brought out from the imperial palace, there was also food brought out from the temporary palace and the city lord's mansion, and even from the secret room of the Salt Gang.
The underground space of the palace was as big as a basketball court. In addition to gold, silver, and jewelry, the food alone took up more than 200 square meters.
The underground cave where grain was stored was three or four meters high at that time. A rough calculation showed that the grain she brought out from the palace alone was five or six hundred tons.
That's not just a few thousand or tens of thousands of kilograms, but more than a million kilograms of grain.
Duan Chengyi's City Lord's Mansion was Qi Jing's second storage point for accumulating wealth. As it was far away from the capital, the money and grain stored there were three times that of the temporary palace.
This does not even include the food brought in by the Salt Gang, which was accumulated by the Salt Gang for generations.
Even though grain is not easy to store, the amount taken out is still calculated in millions of tons.
Except for Gu Yanzong and Gu Yanjing, everyone present had seen the room where the gold, silver and jewelry were stored.
As they passed by, the two brothers could see clearly that in the boxes piled like garbage outside, there was a white and golden light...
"this…"
Standing at the factory door, Ran Qingxuan slowly pushed open the door in front of their shocked gazes.
50-jin bags of rice, wheat, brown rice, and flour were piled up as high as three stories. The unbaked grains were separated on the moisture-proof cloth, and there was no end in sight at a glance.
"Oh my God!"
Even Qu Feng and the others were shocked. After all, they only saw a large warehouse from afar and never thought that it was filled with food.
"Who did you rob? Why is there so much food?"
"Before my house was searched, I went to the imperial palace and then to Qi Jing's palace..."
"There is also the Shuangling City Lord's Mansion, which is also where Qi Jing stores money and food..."
"And... And there's the Salt Gang's territory. We found it from the back mountain after we blew it up."
