Chapter 198: Why Not Transport Away
Translator: 549690339
“The silver in your possession probably isn’t enough to buy a house in town. You should go to Jiwei Residence, sell your tofu skin recipe, the money you get from that should be enough for you to buy a comfortable small courtyard.”
“After buying a courtyard, transfer your household registration to the town as well and completely cut ties with Anping Village.”
“Looking at Principal Gu’s condition, he should have no problem living for another ten to twenty years. With him around, there won’t be any disturbances in Bailu Town.”
Of course, the premise for the absence of disturbances is that his family does not rebel.
But this isn’t something he can decide. His grandfather is still hesitating, not wanting the common people to suffer from war again.
However, his sixth grandfather is quite resolute, determined to seek justice for their great-grandfather.
But if they do rebel, he will naturally do everything he can to ensure Qiao Xiaomai’s safety.
Qiao Xiaomai looked surprised at his words.
One moment he was begging her for a chance, the next moment he had already planned her way out?
That’s quite a drastic change.
Realizing her confusion, Tong Sanlang sighed, “Rest assured, 1 have no ill intentions. Rather than making you feel disgusted, I’d be better off keeping my distance to leave you with a better impression.”
Knowing that she might be taken away by Yang Ye left an empty feeling in his heart, so he confessed to her.
Now seeing the clear disgust on her face, his heart feels more than empty, it feels like he’s chewing on bitter melon, bitter to the bone.
This feeling is absolutely terrible.
Rubbing his chest, he remarked with some remorse, “It’s more important that you are happy and doing well.”
Turning into a love-struck fool in a second.
“If I leave, what about my house? If I sell it, won’t that be taking advantage of others? If 1 don’t sell it, there’s still the chance of being sought after by others.” Qiao Xiaomai said, furrowing her brows.
“I’ll buy it.” said Tong Sanlang, “You can go to the town with peace of mind.”
Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes rolled around, many questions forming in her mind.
But curiosity killed the cat. This saying is definitely not just for fun.
The less she knows, the safer she is.
Licking her lips, she asked, “So, will this cause you any trouble?”
Tong Sanlang paused for a moment, then rubbed his chest again.
He gave a bitter smile, “Luckily I changed my mind. For a good-hearted girl like you, if I had kept my previous thoughts, it would’ve been a sin. Maybe even fate wouldn’t look kindly on me.”
Seeing Qiao Xiaomai’s silent face again, Tong Sanlang’s smile deepened, devoid of bitterness, “Don’t worry, it won’t cause me any trouble.”
Qiao Xiaomai became silent once again.
She looked at Tong Sanlang in front of her, after a while, she couldn’t resist and asked again, “Since you at Tingfeng Pavilion have found the treasure, why not quietly transport it away?”
Transporting it away in secret would invalidate the treasure map.
“Too much, it’s difficult to transport.” The National Treasury naturally contains all kinds of treasures.
Apart from gold, silver and jewels, it also includes various antiques, paintings and calligraphy, precious screens, potted plants and even furniture.
Gold, silver and jewels could be transported away quietly.
But the large items were difficult to transport, and because they were too well-known, the moment they’re exposed, they’re bound to attract attention.
Today’s Daqi, especially here in Bailu Town, the population is too dense for these objects to be transported away.
And how these treasures managed to bypass the enemy’s blockade and were transported here in the first place, remains a mystery.
Even his two grandfathers don’t know.
“Too many things? How could my tiny courtyard possibly hold them all?” Qiao Xiaomai was even more puzzled.
“There’re three levels underground, extending all around your house, but the main structure is right under your house.”
Her courtyard is roughly 300 square meters, with three levels underground full of treasures, oh god, it really is the National Treasury!
