After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 18 Treasure Building

When Gu Cheng arrived in Xiaocheng, the sun was setting.

When I arrived at the courtyard, I saw Hui Chengyuan sitting under the porch drinking tea. I walked over and asked, "Why did you call me out in such a hurry? Did something happen to the refugees?"

Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "Come with me to Jin'an City tomorrow."

"Okay." Gu Chen agreed and asked, "You sent me a message a few days ago saying you were busy and asked me to help you deal with the affairs of Xizhou. How come you have time to come here today?"

Hui Chengyuan looked at the teacup in his hand and asked, "Have you heard of Jubaolou?"

"Jubao Tower?" Gu Cheng shook his head, "Is it the Jin Tower?"

"more or less."

Hui Chengyuan smiled and said, "Jubaolou donated one million taels and 100,000 catties of grain to the imperial court some time ago."

Gu Cheng stood up in surprise, "Really? What's the background of this Jubao Building? It's so rich!"

Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "I checked, the owner should be a person named Yuan Man."

Yuanman?

Gu Cheng was surprised and asked, "Isn't that the owner of House No. 6?"

"The one where we haven't been able to find each other's information."

Thinking of the people he met when he left the city, he looked at Hui Chengyuan and suddenly laughed, "You know, I met an unexpected person before I came to Xiaocheng."

Hye Seung Won looked at him.

"Okay, I say, don't look at me like that." What Gu Chen couldn't stand the most was his calm look as if he was looking at a pig.

"When I was leaving Mingzhou City, I met a familiar person, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him, so I sent someone to follow him."

"Guess what happened? That person actually went to Yuan Mansion and walked in with a smile on his face."

"And I think he looks familiar because he looks about 50% similar to Madam Yuan."

Hui Chengyuan lowered his eyes, "So, he is most likely the Yuan Man, and Madam Yuan is likely his relative."

Gu Cheng slapped the fan in his hand against his palm, "Yes."

Hui Chengyuan raised his eyes to look at him, "You're leaving just like that?"

"What else? You called me to Xiaocheng, who knows what you want to tell me."

"And at that time I didn't know that he had such a special identity as Jubaolou."

After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he asked again: "Is this trip to Jin'an City related to this Jubao Tower?"

"Well, Jubaolou gave us a list of corrupt officials who took bribes. The total amount we know of is about 50,000 taels. In addition, they donated 10,000 camphor tree seedlings."

After Hui Chengyuan finished speaking, he looked at him and said, "It's hard to trace the food, but these camphor tree seedlings must have a source."

"I originally wanted you to go and transport the camphor tree, and then find a way to investigate, but now there is no need. You just need to keep an eye on Yuan Man."

"Then check the relationship between Madam Yuan and him."

Gu Cheng nodded in agreement, then sighed, "After the famine of the past two years, although our Gu family can still come up with one million taels, it will definitely be a huge loss."

"This man took out one million taels and 100,000 kilograms of grain. He looks so young despite having such financial resources."

"Tsk, that's amazing!"

"Chengyuan, do you think he will come from a big family?"

After saying this, he denied himself, "It's unlikely. After all, there are big families with the surname Yuan, but we don't have any in Anguo."

"But how can one person have such great financial resources?"

Hui Chengyuan put down his teacup and said, "So I need you to check it out."

"This person appeared too suddenly." He was also so generous, so generous that it made people suspicious.

Gu Chen nodded. As long as they could find out his relationship with Madam Yuan, the rest would be easy to investigate.

because……

Then he looked at Hui Chengyuan and laughed, "I found out something very interesting, do you want to listen to it?"

Hui Chengyuan glanced at him with a cold look.

Gu Chen sighed, straightened his face and said, "It should be easy to find out what the relationship between Madam Yuan and Yuan Man is."

"There's a 70% chance that they are not a couple, because the person you sent to me last time found some useful information."

"That Madam Yuan also went to the place where you had the accident, Sanlipi outside Mingzhou City."

"And her child was born the day before we met her. The timing was perfect."

Hui Chengyuan frowned, "Is the investigation correct?"

Gu Cheng shook his head, "I'm sure there isn't one. I checked it over and over again because of this."

"After all, it was your people who investigated. Compared with my people, they are naturally much stronger."

"The old lady next to her happened to be familiar with an old lady at the city gate. My people also got some information from there, and they all matched up."

"In addition, she adopted six children who lived with her in the dilapidated temple. The fact that she is alive today and gave birth to the children safely is all thanks to those children and that old lady raising them together."

"From this, it can be seen that this person is very grateful and not ungrateful."

"Apart from these, I only found out that she came here with her parents, brother and sister-in-law to escape famine. As for where she was originally going, she never told anyone, so it's naturally difficult for us to find out."

"All I know is that her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law wanted to exchange her for food for their grandchildren and sons, but she cleverly escaped."

"I fled to Liujia Village with the refugees. As for why I ended up in Sanlipi, I don't know."

"I didn't find any useful information from Liujia Village. The village chief and his family of three were imprisoned for their crimes and were executed before my people found them."

Hui Chengyuan recalled the calm face of the woman, her complexion was not good, and she was dirty and thin. Could she be that person?

"Keep checking and make sure she is the one."

If so, the child is his.

So small.

Thinking back to the time when he was plotted against, his face couldn't help but darken.

And I don’t know how much suffering that woman went through to give birth to that child.

He couldn't help but want to take a look at the woman.

Hui Chengyuan suppressed this thought, looked at Gu Cheng and said, "Ask the Gu family to protect that woman a little."

Gu Cheng nodded. Even if he didn’t say it, he would have done it, and he had already told his family about it.

If Madam Yuan is really that person, let alone protecting her, we can even worship her.

Hui Chengyuan exhaled and said, "Jin'an City has another deal regarding grain seeds. I can give you some of the grain seeds."

Gu Cheng's eyes lit up, "Really? Can you give me a little more?"

His Gu family is really short of food.

Although the Gu family had stored a lot of grain, it was not enough to feed all the family members and servants, so they also used a lot of grain seeds.

Now only 20% of the crops can be grown.

Hui Chengyuan glanced at him, stood up and left.

This little bit is already his limit. If he wants more, he is dreaming.
