Qin Yining was shocked by Guan Dahu's shamelessness. In order to get close to him, he actually lied and claimed to be Qiao Shangfei? Qiao Shangfei was a Dayan Grand Scholar and ranked sixth in the second grade. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a scholarly aura. How could he not feel embarrassed to flatter himself!
"So it's Hall Master Qiao! I was rude earlier. "Qin Yining quickly apologized with a smile.
Guan Dahu waved his hand. "We'll be brothers and sisters in the future. Why do you need to be so polite? Boss Qiu is also a heroine. I really admire you. "
"Hall Master Qiao is too kind. I'm just carrying on the legacy of my ancestors. I don't want to be meritorious, but I don't want to make any mistakes."
The two of them flattered each other as if they had just had a heart-to-heart talk.
Liu Ban and the others saw how the other party was being coaxed by their big brother and couldn't help but admire them.
In the end, Qin Yining asked intimately, "Hall Master Qiao, where are the treasures you mentioned? How are we going to transport them? "
Guan Dahu pulled himself together and said mysteriously, "To be honest, the treasures are in the stone factory that was used to build the Imperial Mausoleum. When they were transporting the treasures, they were afraid that they would leak the stuffing, so they emptied out the stones. I'm not sure about the details, but there are indeed some stones in the factory that are emptied out. They're filled with gold, silver, and jewels! "
Qin Yining stood up and said with shining eyes, "Then we're going to be rich!"
"What?"
"Ah? Oh, I mean, won't the commoners be able to live a good life? "
"Yes, that's right." Guan Dahu nodded and smiled. He didn't miss the greedy look in Qin Yining's eyes.
Qin Yining rubbed his palms together and walked around in circles.
"This... this isn't easy. Those are the stones used to build the Imperial Mausoleum. They can only go in and not out. Moreover, there are so many stones. How can you be sure where the stones are? If we think of a way and can't find them, what if we move the wrong things out? "
"I'm sure. Don't worry, as long as we have people, I know the general location. "Guan Dahu was very confident.
Qin Yining frowned suspiciously. "Really? Hall Master Qiao, if you can't be sure, then my next plan won't be easy to carry out. At that time, the two of us will have to draw water with a bamboo basket. "
When Guan Dahu heard this, he hurriedly said, "There's no harm in telling you. Those things are in the northwest of the stone factory, near the center of the stone factory. Those that came in at that time were all piled up there. "
He finally got the answer!
Qin Yining's heartbeat quickened, but he didn't show it on his face. He said thoughtfully, "Since we know its location, we have a way to get it out."
Looking at the dark and messy room, Qin Yining came up with an idea. "Hall Master Qiao, brothers, if you don't mind, we have quite a few properties in the city, and the servants are all ready-made. Let's work together to think of a solution. Since Hall Master Qiao and the others can't live such a hard life, why don't you all come to my place and give me a chance to entertain you? What do you think?"
Didn't they even have a place to eat?
Liu Ban was overjoyed and looked at Guan Dahu expectantly.
Guan Dahu also breathed a sigh of relief. They had been too complacent a few days ago, and all the money they earned had been used up on eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. Now that the Heifeng Stockade was in trouble, all their hopes were gone.
Fortunately, the heavens helped them. In less than two days, this problem had been solved.
Guan Dahu pretended to hesitate and said, "That's not good …"
"Hey, what's not good about it?" Qin Yining smiled warmly. "Since I'm already a member of the Qingtian Alliance, then we are brothers and sisters. Moreover, friends share the same principle, and we have the same goal. If Hall Master Qiao doesn't agree, then you're not giving me face."
Guan Dahu thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Well, since that's the case, I'll accept."
Qin Yining nodded happily, then turned around and said, "Ziyuan, go and tell Shopkeeper Yin to tidy up the houses on South Street and arrange for more servants. I want to invite three brothers to stay for a few days."
Ziyuan nodded. "Okay." She quickly retreated, stood in the corridor with an umbrella, and thought for a while. Then, she went straight out.
Not to mention how Tang Xiu was secretly helping Ziyuan and avoiding people to arrange a house.
Qin Yining, on the other hand, smiled and chatted with Guan Dahu and the others for a while. When Ziyuan came back, the group of people went to South Street in the rain.
This house was indeed owned by Sitong Number. Qin Yining had learned from Shopkeeper Yin that Shopkeeper Yin knew that Qin Yining and Pang Xiao needed to find a house to stay in, so he made special arrangements. However, Qin Yining had already made preparations, so he declined.
Now, it was the best place to arrange for the surveillance of the six people of the Qingtian Alliance.
Qin Yining saw her off in person and told the maids and older female servants to do their best. Then she left the mansion.
After Qin Yining left, Guan Dahu, Liu Ban, and the others gathered in the parlor and sent the maids out.
Liu Ban stood next to the antique shelf and touched every bottle in the Ru kiln. Then, he stuck out his butt and looked at the coral tree on the lower floor.
"Tsk, tsk, this Sitong Number is really rich. Fortunately, that woman knows how to deal with things. Otherwise, we really want to rob her."
Guan Dahu said in a deep voice, "We have to look at the long-term. If we touch her now, how can we still carry out our big plan?"
Liu Ban smiled, "I'm just saying. Big brother, don't worry, I won't do anything now."
Guan Dahu was very satisfied with the current situation. He smiled and said, "That woman is quite capable. Maybe she has some connections. Let's let her do her work first. Let's wait for the news for the time being."
"Got it. But I'm afraid that a knife will expose us. "
"What's there to be afraid of? We have the support of the Sitong Number now. That Qiu woman wants to use us to find the treasure. Would she just watch us get caught? "
"That's true!"
The brothers were in a good mood.
Not long after, the food and wine were served.
Guan Dahu and the others looked at each other and sat around the square table. They looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and felt even more satisfied.

At this time, Qin Yining had already washed off his disguise and changed into a set of casual clothes. He sat at the table and discussed the treasure with Xie Yue.
"Now that we know the approximate location, it will be easier for us to take action. At least we have a direction. " Xie Yue said with emotion, "Also, the wangfei has allowed them to stay. It will be easier for us to keep an eye on them and prevent them from causing trouble in a place we don't know about." “
Xie Yue had long been convinced of Qin Yining's abilities. The more time they spent together, the more emotional she felt. It was also thanks to Wang Ye's good luck that he was able to have this woman as his wife. With her around, it was even more effective than having a general by his side.
"I plan to walk around these days and appear more attentive. We can't let them think that we already have a plan. "
"Wangfei is right. Wangfei also has to be careful. We don't know how many people they have in total. "
Qin Yining nodded. "That's what I'm worried about too. I'm afraid that they are hiding something and have left people outside to provide support. That's why we have to be more careful when we walk around these days to see if there are any tails following us."
"Actually, even if we know the approximate location of the treasure, it's not much better than before. The stone factory only allows entry and not exit. It's harder than ascending to heaven to move things out. In addition, Wang Ye and Zhong Yibo will be taking over soon. Before they take over, the people in charge of the stone factory will definitely tighten the security so that they can hand over this hot potato to the higher-ups. "Xie Yue sighed with emotion." That's why the stone factory's security is the tightest right now. "
"That's right." Qin Yining was also in a difficult position. "This time, Your Majesty appointed Zhong Yibo as the magistrate of Huichuan County. This is also something that we didn't expect. If it were someone else, we would still be able to do something under Wang Ye's protection. However, Zhong Yibo isn't a stupid person. He must be watching us closely and waiting for us to make a mistake. It's harder than ascending to heaven to move things out from under his nose. "
When the two of them said this, they sighed speechlessly.
For a moment, they looked at each other in dismay. No one could think of a suitable solution.
This feeling of knowing where the treasure was but being unable to do anything was even more of a headache than not knowing the whereabouts of the treasure.
In the next few days, whenever Qin Yining was free, he would disguise himself and go to the Four-Way Shop to keep watch.
She knew that Guan Dahu was a bold and meticulous person. Who knew when he would go to the Four-Way Shop to check out the situation. If she wasn't there, it would arouse suspicion.
"Fortunately, Princess Consort is cautious. Today, he really came." Ji Yun and Bing Tang came out of the side room and craned their necks to look at the door. After making sure that Guan Dahu and the others had left, they sighed in relief.
Bing Tang pouted. "As soon as he came, we had to hide. We were afraid that he would recognize us. It would make it seem like we did something bad. Because of that, we couldn't serve you."
Qin Yining chuckled and tapped Bing Tang's forehead. "You lass, you're troubling your younger sister Ziyuan and younger sister Hanxiao. Are you feeling bad for them?"
"She's obviously jealous." Ji Yun teased.
Ziyuan and Hanxiao were also familiar with Qin Yining. At this moment, they also laughed.
Just as the hall was filled with laughter, Head Shopkeeper Yin hurried over from the front.
"Princess Consort, something seems to have happened in your residence."
"What?" Qin Yining's smile froze. "What's wrong?"
"Just now, our shop assistant passed by your residence and saw a lot of people gathered in front of your residence. It seemed that there was an argument. He knew that it was not good to publicize your identity, so he quickly ran back to report it."
"What kind of people were they?"
"They said that they were all tall and strong. They seemed to know martial arts." Shopkeeper Yin wiped the sweat on his forehead. "Should we report it to the authorities?"
Qin Yining shook his head. "No need. I'll go back and take a look. "
