It was obvious that Xiao Changtai could have been killed along with his subordinates in the woods, but Shen Xihe brought Xiao Changtai out alive. I think he must have had other intentions.
"I was entrusted by someone." Shen Xihe told Zhenzhu to get a box. When Zhenzhu went to get something, she told Xiao Huayong everything Ye Wantang had said to her. After that, Zhenzhu also got the box and handed it to Xiao Huayong, "This is where Xiao Changtai's remaining money is hidden. The key and route map to get the money are all here."
Xiao Huayong reached out to take it. He and Shen Xihe both knew that the money came from a dirty source. The tomb robbery case had come to an end and it was impossible to reopen it now. They had to compensate each family one by one. Moreover, most of the money had been squandered by Xiao Changtai, so it would be impossible to make up the full amount. However, due to the special nature of the money, the couple were unwilling to use it for themselves.
Xiao Huayong would naturally not stay in Shen Xihe's hands and become a hot potato. Holding the box, he thought for a moment and said, "Use it to raise funds for charity. It can also be regarded as accumulating blessings for the families whose tombs were robbed."
This was the best solution Xiao Huayong could think of, and it was also the safest solution Shen Xihe could think of: "But in whose name?"
Shen Xihe didn't want to use her and Xiao Huayong's names, wouldn't that still be taking advantage
"Leave it to Hua Fuhai, he will naturally take care of it." Xiao Huayong felt that such a small matter did not require him to do it personally.
Shen Xihe suggested: "I will let Qi Pei cooperate with Hua Taoyi and let him learn more."
"It's an honor for someone like Youyou to think highly of me." Xiao Huayong hoped that Shen Xihe would do this, so that their forces could gradually merge and become equal.
The more open Shen Xihe was to him, the happier he was.
After smiling, Shen Xihe talked about other things and did not stay for long, letting Xiao Huayong rest for a while. Xiao Huayong had already exhausted his strength, and he had not slept all night fighting with Xiao Changtai. Shen Xihe told him to rest, and he naturally obeyed obediently.
After Xiao Huayong fell asleep again, Shen Xihe lit some calming incense and left quietly.
As soon as she left the room, Zhenzhu said that Xiao Changtai had woken up: "Ye sent someone to ask when she can see someone?"
"What did Ye do after coming here?" Shen Xihe asked.
"I haven't done anything. I've just stayed quietly and never said a word to anyone." The only thing he said was to ask someone to ask her when she could see Xiao Changtai.
Shen Xihe hurried his pace, thought for a moment, sighed deeply, and said, "Let Mo Yuan send the person over."
Mo Yuan gave Xiao Changtai some medicine to soften his bones and muscles before untying him and sending him to Ye Wantang's room. Before that, Ye Wantang sent someone to ask Shen Xihe to give her a table of food and a pot of the best Yichun wine.
Yichun wine was Xiao Changtai's favorite. It was a tribute in the Jin Dynasty and is still one of the tribute wines in this dynasty.
It is not easy to get the best Yichun wine, especially in the northwest. Shen Xihe ordered Zhenzhu to ask Tianyuan, and Tianyuan quickly got a pot of Yichun wine that was as good as the tribute.
"Whatever she asks for, we will satisfy her." Shen Xihe went to another room and began to deal with some aftermath matters and instructed Zhenzhu.
