Chapter 166: Teaching Students in Accordance with Their Aptitude
silver.
It’s still official silver.
Still secretly refining it in the cave.
Exchanged for food and secretly shipped out...
The brothers were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
Jiang Zifeng thought about it and became a little excited. "Mom, are the grains they smuggled out hidden in the village below Qingyun Temple?"
No wonder...
No wonder there are so many guards there.
"Yes, that's the place. Not only food is hidden there, but also silver..." Lu Qingyao nodded.
I think it was destined.
If a few children hadn't sneaked out, the house might not have been discovered.
But Jiang Ziyan thought of more than that.
"Mother, are you saying that the official silver is most likely the lost military pay?"
Lu Qingyao nodded approvingly. "Your aunt Xiuxiu and I went to check it out. They refined some of the official silver and took it away. The rest is still in the cave."
Fortunately, she didn't pay much attention to the horse farm, otherwise she would have alerted the enemy.
Xiuxiu held her chin and was a little shocked when she thought of that scene.
"A lot of silver. Boxes and boxes of it, almost filling up half the cave. There are at least hundreds of thousands of taels."
It's heavily guarded there.
Thinking of the day when a few girls mistakenly entered the woods, she felt a little scared.
When she turned back, she found that the group had all hidden in the cave. If the girls dared to take a step further, the consequences would be disastrous.
She and her elder sister spent a lot of money to control the family members of the family, and then bribed the person who transported the silver, who took them in in the middle of the night to take a quick look.
And the group of bats that came as a stroke of genius seemed like God was helping them.
Little Jiang Miaomiao held the little red bird obediently and listened quietly.
She still knows some inside information.
Jiujiu also followed her mother and Aunt Xiuxiu's actions.
It seems that my mother brought it along because she found it clever and could give away information.
Jiujiu said that his mother painted him into a black bird that night.
Seeing that the entrance to the cave was strictly guarded, it led a group of bats in, and the cave immediately became noisy.
Only my mother and Aunt Xiuxiu can blend in.
Jiang Zifeng and his brother were both excited at the thought of their grandfather and his family coming back.
The two hugged each other.
"Brother, grandparents can come back..."
"Yeah, I'm finally back."
Jiang Ziyan, who was always calm and composed, was now shaking his brother excitedly.
Then he picked up his sister from the ground and spun around.
The room was filled with the laughter of the brothers and sisters.
After his excitement subsided, Jiang Ziyan finally asked, "Mother, what should we do next? Should we report this to the prefect or tell Prince Jing?"
If those official silver coins were really military pay, and if we could find out who was behind it, it would prove that my grandfather was framed.
The family was able to return from exile.
Lu Qingyao looked at her two sons and asked, "What do you think? Who should I tell?"
Jiang Zifeng thought for a moment and said, "Tell the prefect, he will definitely help us."
Magistrate Cui is the teacher's nephew, so he is more trustworthy.
Prince Jing looked only three or four years older than him, and was a carefree prince who didn't care about anything.
Talking to him about such a big thing may not be more effective than talking to Uncle Cui.
"Why is it the prefect?" Lu Qingyao asked the boss with a smile.
Jiang Zifeng scratched his head. "Because Magistrate Cui is trustworthy and in charge of Jiangzhou affairs, such a big thing should be told to him."
Lu Qingyao nodded and looked at the second brother, "What do you think, Yan'er?"
"Tell King Jing..." Jiang Ziyan uttered a few words.
Xiuxiu's eyes lit up. This boy had the same keen eye as him.
King Jing is not as harmless as everyone sees him to be.
Four years ago, if he hadn't avoided him on purpose, the secret guards would never have lost him.
Because it was his first time traveling far away and he had little experience in the underworld, he fell into the trap of that group of kidnappers.
That group of people were not good people. There were many bandits and thieves among them. They robbed houses and kidnapped people. Street performances were just a cover for them.
It was no luck that Prince Jing and Prince Song were able to survive at their hands.
In addition to being able to perform, write and recite poetry, he also became the accountant of the bandits.
He was able to endure what ordinary people could not endure, which shows that he was extremely strong-willed.
If her elder sister asked, she would naturally not say these things.
Lu Qingyao looked at the second brother and asked curiously, "Why is it Prince Jing and not Prefect Cui?"
My son has been studying under Master Cui for a long time, and he also wants to hear his insights and whether what he has learned can be put into practice.
Jiang Ziyan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his little face, "Mother, I can see that the teacher only wants to be a loyal minister and doesn't want to get involved in the royal family's struggle. This matter will inevitably involve the prince..."
"How do you know?" Lu Qingyao was very happy that the second child could see so clearly at such a young age.
Jiang Ziyan continued, "Mother, think about it. What would require so much money and food? Perhaps he's raising private soldiers and hiding weapons in some unknown place..."
"Yan'er, how do you know so much?" Xiuxiu looked at the young scholar in surprise.
What he said was shocking.
Neither she nor her elder sister dared to say it out loud.
This kid, who seemed to be silent, actually knew everything.
"It's very simple, just think about it and you'll know." Jiang Ziyan said it lightly, but it made her mother frown even more.
She had thought about what her son said.
If it's true as my son said, this matter involves so many people that even Prefect Cui can't handle it, and even Prince Jing...
Lu Qingyao asked again: "Yan'er, why do you think you should tell King Jing?"
"Mother, Prince Jing is a prince after all. If we tell him about this, we won't have to involve anyone else and it will be reported directly to the emperor. As for who will investigate in the end, I believe His Majesty has his own decision in mind." Jiang Ziyan replied to her mother calmly.
He felt that his mother must have already known the answer in her mind and just wanted to test them.
There is one thing about his mother that is best.
I would talk to them about many things as teaching materials, and then ask them for their opinions.
Whether right or wrong.
Jiang Miaomiao nodded her little head, thinking that her mother was teaching her child in accordance with his or her aptitude.
Although what the second brother said made more sense, she still rewarded each of them with a piece of honey.
A bowl of water must be kept level.
Jiang Zifeng scratched his head and thought for a while, then seemed to suddenly understand, and looked at his brother with admiration.
"I see! I hadn't thought of going this deep."
After thinking about it carefully, how could so much official silver be transported to Jiangzhou unimpeded if there were no connections in the capital?
Select this place.
I think they took advantage of Jiangzhou's remote location and the fact that it was a place with abundant rice and grain, so they could directly exchange the grain and ship it out.
What a good intention!
Lu Qingyao nodded slightly, with a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
"Then it's decided. I will talk to King Jing about this tomorrow." Not only King Jing, but also Princess Liang had to talk to him.
This matter also involved the Prince Liang's Mansion.
You have to figure out how to deal with it first.
His Majesty should send someone in ten days to half a month at the fastest, or a month at the slowest.
Not only Jiangzhou needs to be investigated, but also the traces of grain, silver and money need to be investigated.
Maybe the destination where the grain is shipped really hides a hidden secret.
