Chapter 1439: Xibao Enters the Capital 3
As soon as Jin Laoqi finished speaking, Qiao San couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter, nearly bringing himself to tears.
"Jin Laoqi, oh Jin Laoqi, why do you take things for granted after thinking about them for so long? Gold is solid currency; it’s always right to save a little more for oneself," said Qiao San as he wiped his eyes and took a swig of Erguotou. "Besides, you don’t know their names, don’t know where they are. How do you plan to leave all that treasure you’ve hidden to them? Before you plan, you need to find the people first."
"You’re right, I need to find the people first." Even though he was being laughed at by Qiao San, Jin Laoqi still didn’t reveal that he had already found the rightful owner.
Upon further thought, gold was indeed very important. When jewelry and antiques lost their value, gold remained in circulation. During the chaos of war, all valuable purchases required gold, and it couldn’t be spent carelessly.
Gold wasn’t to be spent, but Jin Laoqi planned to leave the jewelry and antiques to the Lu Family, and this started to worry him about his future.
Relying just on that modest salary and food supply was a sure way to starve someone to death.
Qiao San didn’t know what was going through his mind; he took a bite of pig’s head meat and squinted contently, having gone a long while without meat. "It’s a vast sea of people without fixed names or surnames; we live every day under close scrutiny, making them hard to find."
"There’s nothing too difficult for someone determined," said Jin Laoqi, taking a bite of the pig’s head meat as well.
Qiao San nodded and then shook his head. "The Aisin Gioro clan sure has plenty of people, right? Yet you go looking for someone with a different surname; aren’t you afraid that your own clan members will settle scores with you?"
