“I want to keep it, but there are too many. We can’t take them away, so we can only give them up.” Tiger replied with a conflicted expression.
After Gu Chengrui heard that, he pondered momentarily and said, “Bring your brothers to pick out some now. Each of you will take five items. I will arrange the rest.”
“Alright, we’ll go now!” Tiger replied happily. He led his team to the warehouse and started picking.
After they finished picking, more than half of the things inside were gone.
After they left, Gu Chengrui asked Zhou Ying to collect the remaining jewelry, gold, and silver.
After reporting to Prince Xian, Gu Chengrui and the rest rushed to the next province.
On the way, he would buy some old cotton clothes and quilts for beggars. He would even buy some coarse grain for them.
Tiger and the others saw it and remembered it.
He was also satisfied with Gu Chengrui’s handling of the matter.
Although their treasures were stolen goods, they worked hard to save them bit by bit. To be honest, they were really afraid that those treasures would be squandered away again if they handed them over to the officials.
They felt it was not bad to put it in Gu Chengrui’s hands to help the poor; perhaps it could even accumulate some virtue for them.
“Tiger, have you not gotten married all these years?” Gu Chengrui turned his head and asked curiously.
“Who would want to marry a bandit?
“Moreover, we’ve always been afraid that our identities would be exposed and we’d be hunted down by the Marquis of Ding’an, so we’ve always been single.”
“I see. When things settle down in the future, you should hurry up and find a wife.
“Whoever gets married, report it to me. I’ll give each of you a hundred taels of silver as a settling allowance.”
“Marquis, what about us?” Lin Yitian said.
“Same treatment.
“However, you have to hurry up. If they return to the residence, there won’t be enough girls left in the residence.”
“After I return this time, I’ll go and beg Mistress. When the time comes, I’ll ask Master to put in a good word for me.”
“No problem. We’ll officiate the wedding for you.” Gu Chengrui said.
“Brothers, you heard that, right? We have to hurry up. If we meet a suitable person on the way, we’d better act quickly.” Tiger turned around and shouted.
“We heard you.” Someone immediately echoed loudly.
Those who didn’t hear it quickly understood what was happening and were elated.
Gu Chengrui saw that they were happy and laughed along with them.
On the other end, after consulting the Emperor, Yang Zeheng brought a large amount of jewelry and calligraphy back to the capital. As for the gold and silver, he left them there.
King Xian temporarily stayed in Qianzhou to deal with all the affairs there, waiting for a new official to take office.
As for Zhou Huaiming, he divided all the weapons into three parts and sent them to the southwest, Dongyang Province, and the north border.
After settling the Qianzhou incident, Gu Chengrui’s journey was smooth sailing.
The Emperor heaved a huge sigh of relief once King Hui’s secret armory had been destroyed.
Half a month later, just as the north border received the weapons, King Hui received the news that Lord Liu and the others had been completely eradicated. He was so angry that he fainted.
Master Liu was his confidant, one of the few people he could trust and who had the ability to carry out his bidding.
Those weapons were the bargaining chips for his cooperation with the Northern Continent. How could he cooperate now if he lost his weapons just like that?
Most importantly, they had supplied the Zhou Army with those weapons, which made them even more powerful.
After waking up, he looked at his trusted aide, Eunuch Ma. “Do you know what happened? How did Guard Liu get exposed?”
“We couldn’t find anything. However, when we were at Pinguang Residence, our people tried to assassinate Gu Chengrui. If I’m not wrong, I’m afraid he discovered something..”
