Chapter 137 The Rich's Wealth
Chapter 137 The Rich's Wealth
Bai Xin was in a daze all night, half asleep and half awake. Finally, at dawn, she heard some noise outside the door. After confirming who was coming, she opened the door.
Looking at Ye Qi, who looked exhausted from all the running around, Bai Xin couldn't help but walk forward and hug him.
"Didn't you sleep well?" Ye Qi leaned over and asked softly.
"Yeah!" Bai Xin leaned in his arms and responded softly.
"Then go get some more sleep!"
Ye Qi picked her up, put her on the bed, lay down beside her with his clothes on, hugged her and closed his eyes to rest.
"When do we start?" Bai Xin leaned against him and asked softly.
"Noon!" Ye Qi closed his eyes and said calmly.
"Noon?! Isn't that when there are a lot of people?"
"Well, we need a lot of people to let everyone see the consequences of spies, chaos, and collusion with foreign enemies!" Ye Qi said coldly.
"We have confirmed the structure of their house. The two men went to the other two hideouts. We have also found out who they contacted and where their weapons are."
"After daybreak, one hundred elite soldiers in the camp will disguise themselves as civilians and hide around the main house. When the signal is given, the one hundred elite soldiers outside the city will rush into the city and kill the spies and traitors together!"
"I came back to take you with me. If any soldiers are injured, you will provide them with medical treatment in the rear."
"Okay!" After hearing Ye Qi's words, Bai Xin nodded in agreement and suddenly thought of something.
"What about Wang Dexin?" Bai Xin asked.
"Wang Dexin's family is in his mansion, and we need to investigate with the government, but I don't want to notify the government yet!"
"But if he gets wind of it and escapes, it will be difficult to catch him in the future!" Bai Xin said worriedly.
"Hmm!" Ye Qi hummed, thought for a moment and said, "Let's kill a chicken to scare the monkeys first. Let the Ministry of Justice handle the investigation first!"
Xichang is already ready to make a move, so after he finishes cleaning up here, he needs to go to Lancheng immediately.
Bai Xin knew that if he was tied up in everything during his march, he would not be able to move forward. But if Wang Dexin got wind of the news and ran away, that would be a pity. This man should be executed by Shu Ru himself. He had to think of a way.
Bai Xin pondered for a while and said, "Then if we can lure Wang Dexin here before your attack at noon, will it be feasible?"
Ye Qi opened his eyes, tightened his hold on Bai Xin, and asked, "How do you want to lure him out, Madam?"
"After daybreak, when Desheng Pawnshop opens, how about we go there to meet him? Then we can find a way to lure him to the pawnshop."
Bai Xin became a little excited when he thought of this. He broke free from Ye Qi's hand, sat up, looked at him and said.
"Yeah, that's fine!" Ye Qi reached out and touched her face, agreeing.
"Then I'll get ready now!"
Bai Xin wanted to get up and prepare, but Ye Qi grabbed her back, held her tightly in his arms and said, "Madam, it's not dawn yet, let me take a rest for a while! You don't pity your husband's hard work at all!"
This girl couldn't remember that he had been running around outside all night without rest. She didn't know how much he depended on her. Only when she was by his side could he relax completely, even if it was just for a short rest.
"Uh, okay!" Bai Xin smiled helplessly, facing him, took the initiative to put her arms around him, looked at him with a smile and said softly: "Then can you rest now?"
Ye Qi glanced at her, kissed her lightly, and fell asleep contentedly.
Bai Xin listened to his even breathing, which touched her slightly aching heart, and sighed softly.
Although he had only rested for less than an hour, Ye Qi had already recovered all his energy. He sat aside, examining the makeup that the two maids had put on Bai Xin.
"Madam, do you want to wear this gold hairpin too?" Min'er asked curiously, holding a very delicate hairpin wrapped with gold thread.
The princess already had a lot of pearls and silver hair ornaments on her head, and when she put on the gold hairpin, there was no beauty at all, only wealth.
"Wear it, so that your wife looks as wealthy as possible!" Bai Xin said.
She did not forget to put various rings and bracelets on her hands, and asked Xier to put on bright and eye-catching makeup for her, and matched it with a gorgeous silk floor-length skirt, which made her look extremely rich and gorgeous.
"Okay, we can go now!"
Bai Xin stood up, walked to Ye Qi, and seeing that he was looking at her in a daze, she stretched out her hand and shook him, urging him.
Ye Qi curled his lips slightly, reached out and took her hand, stood up and said: "Madam, you are so rich and charming today!"
"Master, you are also very heroic today!" Bai Xin looked at him and teased him, "The hero of the rich!"
Today, Ye Qi was dressed up by him as a wealthy businessman, wearing a silk and gold-embroidered long gown, and a gold-inlaid jade waist belt, looking like a wealthy second-generation.
Although Ye Qi didn't understand what the word "hao" in "tuhao" meant, he knew from Bai Xin's teasing look that it was not a good thing, and he glanced at her helplessly.
Bai Xin ignored his helplessness and pulled him out with a smile.
Not long after, a group of people arrived in front of Desheng Pawnshop in a carriage. Bai Xin looked back at Li Ze and Mo Tian. The two looked like thugs from wealthy families. He smiled and said, "Yes, keep this posture, the posture of looking down on others with a rifle!"
The two nodded very seriously.
After that, the group walked into the pawnshop in a heroic and confident manner. They did not speak first after entering, but just looked around in front of the pawn counter.
The court clerk, who was standing behind the pawn shop, looked down at the person coming in, but did not say anything about redeeming the pawned items, and was a little confused for a moment.
"Sir, are you here to pawn or redeem something?" Chao Feng asked with a wry smile.
"I just wanted to come here and see if your pawnshop has enough silver to pawn my things!" Bai Xin looked disdainful, and after saying that, he and Ye Qi sat on the chairs in front of the pawn counter without even looking up at him.
Min'er and Xi'er stood beside her, looking domineering like grown-up girls. Li Ze and Mo Tian stood on either side of the door, with Rifle leaning against Li Ze's side. The two of them and the dog gave off an oppressive vibe, as if to keep strangers away.
The court official thought that the people who came to pawn their items were so arrogant. However, judging from their attire, they seemed to be wealthy foreign merchants. They must be in need of money to make ends meet. There was no reason not to do this kind of business that allowed them to make high profits by reselling their items.
Then he smiled and said, "Madam, you are joking. If our pawnshop is not powerful in Ancheng now, you don't need to look at other pawnshops!"
Afterwards, he asked the handyman to serve tea to Bai Xin and Ye Qi.
"So, you are very powerful, then help me see how much silver this thing of mine is worth!"
After saying this, he winked at Min'er, who understood and handed a brocade box to the court official.
The court attendant took a look and took out a transparent green jade bracelet. He was slightly surprised and then said: "Madam, wait a moment, I will let the shopkeeper talk to you."
As he said this, he winked at the handyman.
Bai Xin and Ye Qi exchanged glances, wondering if it was Wang Dexin.
Just as he was thinking, the door beside the cabinet opened, and a middle-aged man came out and said, "My two guests, please come to the inner hall to talk!"
Bai Xin and Ye Qi examined him for a while.
