Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After being tested by the fat pig, Li Yiran's men no longer had any worries and immediately filed in from the front.  Bao Zheng asked Dong Xianxian and several other women to wait outside. Li Yiran and Bao Zheng walked in with those people.  Bao Zheng walked in the corridor for about ten minutes. A hall was revealed in front of him. The people in front of him exclaimed in surprise.  Bao Zheng squeezed forward and saw that the hall was dazzling at this time, with neat rows of shelves filled with shining silver ingots.  Bao Zheng and Li Yiran looked surprised at this time. Bao Zheng made a rough estimate of the amount of silver in the hall, and it was probably as much as one hundred thousand taels.

    Bao Zheng knew that the monetary system of the Song Dynasty was extremely chaotic, and its historical records were also full of contradictions.  The Song Dynasty used "money" as its currency. Because of the rapid social and economic development of the Song Dynasty and the unprecedented development of industry and commerce, the demand for money was also unprecedentedly large. Moreover, the production and import volume of silver were not high, and there was no such thing as a central bank at that time.  The government's macro-control and management agencies have created an extremely chaotic situation.  During the Song Dynasty, one tael of silver could buy four stones of rice, which means that one hundred thousand taels of silver equals 66 million yuan in the twenty-first century.

    How could Bao Zheng be dumbfounded that so much money was hidden in this secret room?  Bao Zheng looked at the silver and realized why Zhang Li and others had set up this secret room.  Silver in the Song Dynasty was not a very common currency in the market, but it was the most valuable currency.  Zhang Zhang and Zhang Yan set up this secret room in order to seek money from the Heavenly Society, but they never expected that Luzhou City would be closed. Now it might be easier for Zhang Zhang himself to escape from Luzhou City, but if he wants to take the money away  But it's simply impossible.

    Li Yiran was obviously extremely excited. If he reported such a large amount of silver to the court, he would definitely rise to prominence.  Li Yiran immediately called a few people to start counting the amount of silver.  Bao Zheng exited the secret room and told Fang Lingmei and others what happened inside.  Everyone couldn't help but be curious. After going inside and taking a look, everyone looked a little shocked.

    Although Bao Zheng did not find any follow-up clues at Zhang Li's residence, he unexpectedly discovered the large amount of wealth that the Moutian Society had hoarded here.  Bao Zheng stopped staying and returned to Zhizhou Mansion with everyone.  The amount of silver coins was clear at a glance, and even if Li Yiran had the courage, he would not dare to do anything.

    Bao Zheng and everyone returned to Zhizhou Mansion and informed Zhang Yao of the news.  Zhang Yao knew that the matter was important, so he immediately sent the governor of Zhizhou Prefecture with his people to help count the silver coins.  Such a big event happened on the ground of Luzhou Prefecture. As the governor of the state, it was natural to send someone to help deal with it.  Zhang Yao also sent someone to send a message to Bao Zheng's father, Bao Lingyi, telling him what happened in Zhang's house.

    Bao Lingyi was born as a governor and had the responsibility of supervising the local area. Bao Lingyi should really know about such a big matter. Only when the court inquires about it in the future can he go to court for a confrontation.

    Bao Zheng sat idle with Zhang Yuxi and the other girls in Zhizhou Mansion. After waiting for two or three hours, Li Yiran came with his motorcade to Luzhou Mansion.  The carriage was obviously filled with white money.  Also in the motorcade was the official sedan of Bao Zheng's father, Bao Lingyi.

    Bao Zheng and Zhang Yuxi welcomed him out. Bao Lingyi was even more excited when he saw Bao Zheng. This was the first time Bao Lingyi saw Bao Zheng since he disappeared.  Bao Zheng stayed in Snake Valley for ten days. During this time, the Bao family was extremely worried.

    After Bao Zheng, Zhang Yuxi and Bao Lingyi talked, Bao Lingyi calmed down.  Zhang Yao stepped forward and said: "My father-in-law, I didn't expect that we would meet on such an occasion. Recently, there are too many official affairs in Luzhou Prefecture, and the rebels are rampant. As a result, I originally planned to go to your house to sit down as soon as possible, but I couldn't.  Make time.¡±

    Bao Lingyi shook his head and said: "In-laws, this is your fault. You didn't even notify me when my son married your daughter, which made me a confused father-in-law. Just for this reason, you, in-laws,  You will definitely go to my house to pay a fine of hundreds of cups some other day."

    Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but flushed after hearing what her father-in-law said.  Although Bao Lingyi already knew that the marriage between Bao Zheng and Zhang Yuxi was hastily promoted by the prince, she still couldn't help but complain at this time.

    Zhang Yao laughed and said: "My father-in-law, there is no need to change the date. I will have a few drinks with you today. Your good son, my good son-in-law. Not only has he handled many difficult problems for me, but now he is even more important."  After careful observation, we discovered the dirty money of the traitors in the Zhang Mansion. This time, Bao Zheng has made a great contribution to causing heavy losses to the traitors! We all need to celebrate."

    Bao Zheng smiled awkwardly and said: "What are you talking about, father-in-law? I wasn't the only one who discovered this dirty silver. In fact, everyone has contributed to it. Bao Zheng doesn't dare to belittle himself and claim to be alone."

    At this moment, Master He also came over and said with a smile: "Bao Zheng definitely deserves this credit. If it weren't for Bao Zheng's constant threading, it would have been extremely difficult to find out the situation in this case. I am grateful to Bao.  Zheng, but there are important things right now. Mr. Bao, today I want to let you get to know someone."

    Old Master He is originally from Luzhou Prefecture.A well-known scholar in the area with high prestige.  Bao Lingyi stepped forward and said: "Master, you really think highly of my dog. I just don't know who the master is going to introduce?"

    However, Old Master He said in a roundabout way: "Master Bao and Master Zhang, it's noon now. Why don't we share the table and have a drink? It's more convenient for us to talk about things at the table." As he said this, Old Master He glanced at himself a few times.  Granddaughter Dong Xianxian.

    How could Dong Xianxian not know what her grandfather had in mind? Even though Dong Xianxian had a free and easy personality, she would inevitably blush when faced with this kind of thing.

    Zhang Yao immediately asked people to serve a banquet. Finding the one hundred thousand taels of stolen money was something worthy of celebration.

    After drinking for three rounds, Bao Lingyi said: "Master He! I wonder who you just said you wanted to introduce?"

    At this time, Old Master He pulled the rosy-faced Dong Xianxian forward and said: "Master Bao, the person I introduce to you today is my granddaughter, Dong Xianxian!"

    As soon as Old Master He said this, Bao Lingyi was extremely excited.  Bao Lingyi stood up and looked at Dong Xianxian for a moment, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect Miss Xianxian to come back. Ever since Miss Xianxian disappeared to save my Hei San'er, I, Bao Lingyi, feel ashamed every day.  Old Master, I have no shame in going to see your father in the capital. I am so happy to see Miss Xianxian that you are back safe and sound today! Xianxian has great kindness to my Bao family."

    The past relationship between Bao Zheng and Dong Xianxian has long been an open secret.  Bao Lingyi had known for a long time that Bao Zheng and Dong Xianxian were truly in love before. Today, seeing that Dong Xianxian was so beautiful, she was even more satisfied.  Bao Lingyi thought, this girl and my Hei San'er are a perfect match.

    When Zhang Yuxi saw the situation at the table, her expression changed slightly, but she recovered in an instant. She might have guessed that such a day would come from the moment she saw Dong Xianxian reappear.
