Chapter 666 Substituting one thing for another

Even if she didn't understand, Zhou Chang knew that if so many valuable items were burned secretly, even if no one else told them, the Emperor would definitely be very upset, but she didn't want Jiang Meng to help hide it.

After all, she wanted Jiang Meng to win the battle, and the other two should just maintain a gentlemanly friendship.

Jiang Meng also understood Zhou Chang's meaning to some extent. He had some reservations about this. Now that he heard Prince Yi say this, he felt relieved: "I will follow your Highness's lead. As for the report, that is their job as a soldier. They will definitely know how to write it."

Zhou Chang nodded with a look of satisfaction.

The two reached a consensus and came out of the treasure vault one after another.

Jiang Meng still asked his people to move back the remaining antique calligraphy and paintings and place them in the open space outside the greenhouse.

Zhou Chang asked Gao Yuan to take the people from the Jin Caosi to move the silver, in preparation for comforting the people of Shucheng tomorrow.

On the surface, they said they were preparing money, but their real purpose was to get in on the act secretly.

There is no way to sell other things, fortunately this batch of goods are all antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Zhou Chang secretly asked Gao Yuan to take a group of people to secretly go to the literary studios and bookstores in the city to bring back a large number of scrolls and books in order to replace the original ones.

She tried her best to stay up all night, and first used her "hands, eyes, and heart" to "sell" all the calligraphy and paintings she had touched to a part of the plane.

On one side, Zhou Chang pretended to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings and helped to organize them, while secretly "bringing goods". On the other side, he directed others to move out all the valuable items in the prefect's mansion, intending to "offer sacrifices to the heaven" together tomorrow.

As a result, the mess suddenly increased several times, and it would be impossible to see if some of it was missing.

Zhou Chang's tricks throughout the night were just minor ones.

When the sky gradually brightened, thanks to Chen Yuan's familiarity with the situation in northern Vietnam over the years, he was able to get several carts of books, calligraphy and paintings, as well as the four treasures of the study.

Zhou Chang didn't need to explain the reason, he just asked Gao Yuan to find a way to exchange the calligraphy and paintings and antiques in the treasure house.

As for how to change it?

Zhou Chang also thought about it roughly when he was "promoting the products" just now.

As the saying goes, "It doesn't matter if the trick is old, as long as it works."

Since it's going to burn anyway, she might as well start the fire in advance.

So Zhou Chang pretended to drop the torch in the greenhouse, and then directed everyone to quickly carry the paintings, calligraphy and ancient books out through the back door.

While transporting, Zhou Chang was also "carrying goods".

While transporting, Gao Yuan "switch" the goods.

In this way, several large truckloads of calligraphy and paintings were transported out and first stored in a bookstore that had been vacated by Chen Yuan.

After all the trouble, the sky finally brightened.

Zhou Chang was finally able to take a breath and return to the room where he woke up.

After a while, the skinny monkey brought in two large boxes of food from outside.

Zhou Chang, however, had no appetite at all.

The skinny monkey had been busy covering for Zhou Chang all night, but now he was not polite and started to devour the food and wine on the table.

While eating, he continued to talk: "Your Majesty, it would be a shame if those things were burned."

"What a pity." Zhou Chang couldn't eat anything, so he scooped up the soup and drank a few sips.

The skinny monkey didn't care: "Is the prince going to perform that ritual again?"

"Ritual?" Zhou Chang didn't react for a moment, mainly because he was tired.

The skinny monkey didn't forget to be mysterious: "Is it the one who can get rich by burning and burying things?"

"Ahem...Oh...yes, that's it..." Zhou Chang then remembered that he hadn't sold goods for a long time and was no longer familiar with the business.

As long as the skinny monkey had food to eat, he was easy to fool and didn't ask any more questions.

The two men rested for less than an hour before setting out again and rushing to the execution ground.

Zhou Chang wanted to watch with his own eyes Beishan Ye being cut into pieces.

I thought so, but the actual picture was simply unbearable to watch.

During the period, he almost fainted again, but fortunately Jiang Meng was able to hold on.

Seeing Zhou Chang's pale face, Jiang Meng took charge of the entire process.

When it came to offering sacrifices to the heavens and burning the "trophies", Jiang Meng was even able to make an impassioned speech.

On one side was a blazing fire, and on the other side was Beishan Ye who was being cut into pieces with one sword, as well as the captured Mirage Army.

The people were outraged.

Zhou Chang was infected by the atmosphere on the scene, and his face gradually regained some color. However, he was still thinking about the dozens of boxes of goods he had to bring, so he found an excuse of "feeling unwell" and left first.

Afterwards, under the cover of Gao Yuan and Chen Yuan, they went to the bookstore where the calligraphy and paintings were hidden last night, and "brought" all those calligraphy and paintings to the plane.

In the end, in order to avoid having to worry about not being able to explain, they simply set the fire.

When he came out, he gave Chen Yuan a large sum of money and asked him to take care of the aftermath, and the matter would be completely completed.

When he slipped back into the inner courtyard of the prefect's mansion, it was already completely dark.

Zhou Chang lay on the bed, enduring the discomfort in his stomach, but he still did not forget to ask the viewpoint system: "How much is it in total?"

Before this, no matter how much goods she had brought, she asked the Viewpoint system not to report it for the time being.

At this moment, the viewpoint system displayed an additional answer: "Congratulations, the transaction was successful, and the total commission was 1.6 million taels."

[Level: Upper Nine-Three]

【Commission: -2,090,300 taels】

【Order: 2402】

Zhou Chang felt a little dizzy and didn't want to take a closer look at the display, but it had been too long since he had paid attention to it, so he took a look anyway.

She still remembered that the previous debt amount started with "3", which was million taels. She didn't expect it to be so much.

It was not all in vain.

But the number on the bottom line surprised her again: "More than 2,000 orders, what are those?"

The Viewpoint system immediately displays the order details.

"Stop, stop, stop..." Zhou Chang cried out in pain, "Are you trying to shake me to death?"

The neutral voice of the viewpoint system answered: "They are mainly soldiers' helmets, armor, and weapons. The prices vary according to their ranks."

"These things won't work." Zhou Chang regretted saying this to the client without even thinking about it.

The viewpoint system added: "If it is the enemy's loot, double it."

"War spoils?" Zhou Chang had never thought of that. "Yes, we can't touch our own stuff at all, but it's different for the enemy's stuff, the more the better."

Zhou Chang didn't expect that even though he was feeling dizzy, tired and nauseous, he would take on another "big job".

But how to do it so as not to arouse suspicion from others still requires careful consideration.

From yesterday to today, she has been working non-stop, and the high-intensity "labor" is so exhausting that she has no energy to think about it anymore.

Zhou Chang fell asleep with his eyelids closed.

He slept for a whole day and night, and then he really fell ill.

Jiang Meng was extremely worried and even decided to stay in Shucheng for a longer period of time.

Zhou Chang became sick and had a fever and was unable to get out of bed, but on the third day, when he was able to sit up, he demanded that Jiang Meng must set out and pursue the victory.

Jiang Meng couldn't resist, and he also knew that timing was the most important thing in marching and fighting.

Therefore, after two days of preparation, he led the army to leave Shucheng, continue to advance deep into northern Vietnam, and advance towards the last provincial capital, Jizhou.
