After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 178 Gold Stolen
Seven coins and eight taels couldn't help but cover his face.

The old ape was seen thrashing forward and running away, with the little master following behind him and hitting him with a stick several times.

The old ape howled, and Yu Linlang chased and beat him, "Don't howl!"

The old ape had no choice but to lift the raincoat on his back, and with a wave of his plush palm, a big bundle rushed towards Yu Linlang.

Yu Linlang raised the blue jade stick and gently picked it up, feeling a heavy feeling in her hand.

A large gold ingot rolled out of the baggage, and Yu Linlang was speechless.

She stretched out her foot and kicked, and the gold ingot flew into her palm.

It is exactly the same as the previous dozen large ingots, twelve ingots, and the bottoms are all engraved with: The first batch of grain prices in Changpingcang in the 17th year of Mingde's founding in Jinling Prefecture. There is also a line of small characters engraved with the name of the official and the goldsmith below.

This large package of gold ingots, plus the previous ones, is worth more than a thousand taels of gold.

"You robbed the imperial treasury?" Yu Linlang looked at the old ape, "So you fled to this desert island to take refuge?"

The old ape gave her a look that said, "You can really imagine it." He ate the remaining grilled fish on the plate.

With its big plush paws, it pointed at the bundle thrown to her and then at its own plate. It turned its back protectively and pointed its head at her.

The meaning is quite obvious, that is, use that bag of waste products to exchange for your meal!
Yu Linlang held hundreds of kilograms of gold and could lift it easily.

Upon seeing this, Ba Liang hurriedly stepped forward and took it.

Yu Linlang walked up behind the old white ape and poked its fat waist with her finger, "Where did it come from?"

The old white ape had finished eating at this time, turned his head and looked at him with his mouth full of oil, and snorted from his nose.

"Okay, okay, I won't beat you, but you have to tell me honestly, where did you get so much gold?" Yu Linlang put away the blue jade stick and looked at the old white ape seriously.

"These should be tax dollars recast by the imperial court."

Moreover... Jinling Mansion in the 17th year of Mingde most likely refers to the previous dynasty.

Where did the old white ape get such a huge burden of tax money from the previous dynasty? ?

Yu Linlang was puzzled.

The old white ape burped after eating and drinking, and now he was in the mood to chat with Yu Linlang.

It pointed at the rock and the soil, twisted its butt and stretched out a pair of claws, making a digging and digging motion.

Yu Linlang was surprised, "You mean, you dug these things out of the ground?"

The old white ape whined happily and nodded his head repeatedly.

Qiqianba and his two big mouths looked at each other, and a thought came to their minds at the same time.

Judging from the way my girl gets along with this old white ape, it feels like they are old acquaintances?

"Where did you dig it?" Yu Linlang's face was solemn, "Take me over and have a look."

"Lord Jade Fox, Lord Jade Fox!"

Wu Yong's cry came from afar. Yu Lin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she reached out to pat the old ape, "You go first, I'll find you later."

The old ape folded his arms angrily and pointed at the empty plate with his furry paws.

"I'll fry up a big plate of meat for you later." Yu Linlang gave it a roll of the eyes, "Hurry up, they're almost here."

The old ape howled, quickly climbed behind the rock pile, and disappeared in front of them in a few minutes.

Yu Linlang quickly flashed to Ba Liang's side and temporarily threw a large bag of gold ingots into the space. Not long after, Wu Yong came over panting with two guards, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Master Jade Fox."

He paused and glanced at the wooden grill next to Master Yuhu.

The three masters and servants also put it on a large oil paper, just like a picnic. There were two or three ungrilled fish next to it, and the few small plates in front of them were empty.

Lady Jade Fox was in a complicated mood. Could she say that she hadn't even eaten a bite?

Wu Yong laughed sarcastically, "Ah, haha, I'm disturbing Mr. Yuhu's meal."

"Is Captain Wu here for business?"

When Wu Yong got down to business, his face gradually became serious, "Yes, Mr. Yuhu, the old horse and the other person you captured with your own hands are now awake."

"It's just that the current situation is a bit not good. The old horse rolled his eyes as soon as he woke up, looking like he was about to die."

"Fortunately, with the help of Miss Chi, he has stabilized a little now. It's just that I'm worried that his death may not last too long, so I hope that Mr. Yuhu will go over for interrogation as soon as possible."

Yu Linlang nodded slightly, "Okay, you go back first, I'll come over later."

Wu Yong hugged his fists and was about to leave. Yu Linlang stuffed a pack of holly fruits into it, "I picked this fruit on the west side of the island. Although it doesn't taste good, it can still fill your stomach. You can't eat more, and each person can eat three Just one pill is enough, but eating more will not help.”

Wu Yong took it with a look of surprise, "Thank you, Mr. Yuhu."

After the others left, Yu Linlang ate a few bites of pastries, then left the two girls to continue grilling fish while she went back to Li Zhoumu and the others.

The group has temporarily settled down, and the conditions are very difficult.

When she passed by, she saw the old lady leaning on the back of a huge rock, frowning with a bitter expression, biting the red fruit in her hand.

The slightly bitter taste spread in her mouth, and Yu Pianpian almost cried.

She has never experienced such hardship, and it feels like her life is ten pounds more miserable than coptis.

Seven Star Sword Luo Yuan saw her expression of pain, so he quietly came closer, took out a pancake wrapped in oil paper from his arms and handed it to her.

"Miss Yu, please eat this."

"Thank you, Mr. Luo." Due to the strong defense between men and women, Yu Pianpian didn't want to take it, but her stomach was growling with hunger, and there was really no other way to do it at the moment.

Yu Linlang glanced at them and walked directly to Li Zhoumu.

"Master Jade Fox is here." Li Zhoumu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her, "Here, the prisoner just woke up for a moment, then closed his eyes and fell into a drowsy state, and he hasn't opened his eyes yet."

"Oh, it's okay." Yu Linlang likes to solve the problem quickly, "I have a way to wake him up."

As he walked, he asked Li Zhoumu as if by accident, "I heard that Zhou Mu served in Jinling twenty years ago?"

Li Zhoumu's expression changed slightly, "These are all trivial past events. Let's not talk about the past affairs, haha."

Speaking of which, with the reputation of being a minister of the former dynasty, his journey over the years has been more difficult than others, and the road to promotion has been more bumpy.

"Oh, I don't mean to investigate, I just suddenly remembered a related case. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Zhou Mu, have you heard of any tax money theft cases that occurred in Jinling Mansion twenty years ago?"

Li Zhoumu paused in his steps, clasping his hands behind his back and frowning in deep thought for a moment, "When Mr. Yuhu said this, I suddenly remembered that an extremely vicious gold theft case did occur in Jinling twenty years ago."

Yu Linlang raised her eyebrows, an idea flashed in her mind, and she quickly caught a clue.

"At that time, the old and new imperial courts were changing, and the waterways on Jiangnan Road were very chaotic."

"A batch of tax silver from Jinling Mansion was recast into 800,000 taels of gold and presented to the court through the waters of the Bian River. It was robbed by a group of daring madmen."

"This incident caused a sensation both inside and outside the court!"
