After finishing speaking, he glanced at Man Bao who was squatting beside the box, and said to Bai Shan with some dissatisfaction: "You know how to please her, so can't I please her?"
Knowing that the last one he mentioned was Princess Mingda, Bai Shan laughed and said, "I will take you to look for it in the Western Regions. I heard that there are many precious stones in the Western Regions. There must be someone more suitable for a princess."
Man Bao said: "Mingda likes jade more."
"Impossible, she likes gems more," Bai Erlang said affirmatively, "I gave her pearls last time, and she was very happy when she saw them. Who wouldn't like such shiny gems?"
And the opal is still the best among them, he still thinks that one is better.
After thinking for a while, Bai Shan said, "If you really like it, we can discuss it with Duan Cishi privately."
"How do we discuss this? The value of that opal is more expensive than the contents of this box." Speaking of this, Bai Erlang also felt that these horse thieves didn't know what to buy, and they didn't put such good things separately, but stuffed them together in the box. , It's just too reckless.
Bai Shan said: "Don't you have another treasure in your hand?"
"Su Hexiang? Can that be exchanged for an opal?"
Bai Shan said: "This kind of thing depends on personal preference. Opals are precious, but unless you like to keep them for your own use, if you want to cash them in, I'm afraid it's not as good as your box of styrax."
He said: "Such a large opal cannot be sold in Liangzhou. Passing merchants, whether they are going to the Western Regions or the Central Plains, can't afford so much money, so they can be brought directly. There are quite a few who can afford to buy it in the capital, but not many are willing to pay such a large sum of money for this opal."
"He is an official of the court, and he sells food in his name. The price is high and the price is low. It's not good. If you don't use his name, how do you know that you won't meet people who buy and sell by force?" The governor of Yizhou, especially Liangzhou A governor in a remote place obviously doesn't have much face in the capital.
Duan Cishi is very excited now, and when he calms down, he will know how difficult it is to realize this thing.
In contrast, Su Hexiang is very simple.
This incense is precious, and the nobles like it very much, and it is piece by piece. People think it is expensive, so you can cut it into a few smaller pieces, even if you don’t borrow his name, let a businessman who is in charge pretend to be a businessman from the Western Regions. Can shoot.
Not to mention the capital city, but when you enter Xiazhou, there are many people who buy such good things, and most of them can afford them.
There is only one opal, and it cannot be divided. The price is high, but because of the high price, ordinary rich and powerful people will not buy it.
For Bai Shan, Bai Erlang believed very much, so he rejoiced, squatted down enthusiastically and searched through the jewels in the box with Man Bao, "Why do these people stuff everything in there?"
It was not easy to count in the cave, so Man Bao picked out several of his favorites and put them in separate boxes for distinction, and the soldiers moved out the whole box.
Bai Shan handed the box to Duan Cishi's personal soldiers, and said: "Keep it alone, and share it later...we want these when we get the spoils."
The soldiers took them respectfully.
Inspector Duan had already hidden the cat's eye gem, and at this moment he came up to greet them with a red face, "Come, come, let's take an inventory of the things in this cave together."
There are more things in the cave than in the tree hole. In terms of value, that box of jewels is worth the gold and silver in the tree hole.
So Duan Governor thought that they should have almost finished the things of these horse thieves, but he still remembered Bai Shan's deduction, and he said with piercing eyes: "If there are two more dens like this..."
Bai Shan: "... there may not be, that's just my guess." He glanced at Man Bao and said, "If there is, I guess there is only one more, after all, there are quite a lot of things in this cave."
Man Bao nodded.
Governor Duan also nodded after thinking for a while, "Yes, they rob houses to make money, but they will never be so rich that they will go to the enemy's country. It should be the limit to have another den like this."
Duan Inspector said enthusiastically: "Why don't you hand over this place to them, and let's search everywhere?"
Man Bao was also excited, and Bai Shan looked up at the sky.
Everyone subconsciously looked up, and Duan Cishi asked, "What's wrong with the sky?" They couldn't hide in the sky, could they
Man Bao: "...it's getting dark!"
Only then did Governor Duan notice that the sky was getting dark, and he regretted endlessly, "How did today go by so quickly?"
Bai Shan frowned and said: "The mountain is not safe at night, let's go down the mountain and go up the mountain tomorrow."
Governor Duan naturally had no objection, so he sent people to the den of thieves to summon the soldiers who were still demolishing the house, and took all the gold, silver and jewelry they found.
The things that had just been moved out of the cave were fine with boxes, but the sacks containing the copper coins were not strong, and even the ropes were rotten. If they were moved like this, the money might be scattered along the way.
Governor Duan naturally did not allow such a thing to happen, so when he asked people to call people in the den of thieves, he also asked people to find some sacks or boxes to bring them down.
They also rolled up their sleeves and squatted down to pick up the money on the ground. Everyone didn't dislike doing this kind of rough work at all, and even enjoyed it.
Even if it's copper coins, I don't know why, counting them is more fun than counting gold and silver.
Man Bao picked up the copper coins scattered on the ground one by one and put them on a piece of torn linen. When they were full, he picked them up and poured them into the empty box. The sound of jingling was very pleasant.
Bai Erlang was picking up coins and throwing them away, and the whole audience could hear the sound of him throwing copper coins non-stop.
There are so many people, no amount of money is enough to pick them up. Everyone moved all the copper coins into new sacks and boxes, and then started to load them down.
Man Bao found his own soldiers and went down with the jewels he picked out.
As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Governor Duan was obviously not very hopeful about this treasure hunt up the mountain, so when they came, they came on horseback, half of the soldiers were on horseback and half were running, and there was not a single car.
As a result now...
Inspector Duan pondered for a moment, and in the end he should send someone to go back quickly to call for a car. He took advantage of this time to inquire with Bai Shan, and divided up the loot... what will they do with the loot.
Bai Shan smiled and said: "We have a lot of people, Liangzhou is not very far from Xiazhou, we can send a few people to send some things back to Xiazhou first. But if Master Duan is willing to settle all the gold and silver with us, we don't have this Annoyed."
Governor Duan skipped the last sentence, and laughed, "Why, Mr. Bai has someone in Xiazhou?"
Bai Shan laughed and said: "The newly appointed governor of Xiazhou, Yang Heshu, is our schoolmate. We can store our things with him temporarily. Mr. Zhou's elder brother often travels between the grassland and the capital, so we can just ask him to take them back when the time comes."
Governor Duan's eyes flashed, so Bai Shan and the others have channels to handle these goods.
