Liu's Secret Room [05]
Originally, he planned to transport all the treasures away in the past two nights, but no one thought that Xiao Xian and Wen Songzhi suddenly came to the door today and blocked him, otherwise where would he be so passive?
Yesterday, because the decree had just been issued, he was not able to act at night, for fear of being discovered.
And now that they have blocked the door, it will be at least two or three days, and he still can't move.
Only after they left the Hou Mansion, he took advantage of the night to move his things away, and he could only pretend to be sick for the past two days, and it was best not to take care of anything, and let the gang toss it.
He wanted to see if they could come up with a hundred thousand taels of silver.
Liu Ning was secretly proud in his heart.
Their family has been hooligans for generations, of course, it is not a normal way of doing things, and many of those fields and houses do not use their own names, but have another false identity.
Therefore, even if he gave all his current property to Shen Mingzhu, he still had most of it.
This was also forced by Liu Lingzhe that time, in order to divide the family's property a little less, he thought of a way to get out.
In addition to the original fields and mansions in the family, which are also the properties in the name of the Hou Mansion, he used a fake identity for the other lands and mountains and forests that were encircled by improper means, and that amount was considerable.
Thinking of this, Liu Ning felt a little more at ease, and it was not so painful.
Although it hurts to be taken away so much money out of thin air, I still have a chance to make a comeback, and when the time comes, I will work harder to make more money.
And Wen Songzhi had already gone back to the main hall and told Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu his speculation, thinking that there must be a secret warehouse.
Shen Mingzhu also agreed with his judgment, "Many families basically have secret rooms. ”
These officials are more or less unsightly, so naturally they can't be put on the bright side, even if they are locked in the cabinet, they don't feel at ease, and naturally they still have insurance in the secret room that only they can enter and exit.
Xiao Xian said: "This kind of secret room is generally in the secret passage of the study, behind the calligraphy and painting, or behind the Duobao Pavilion and the like, let people search and see." ”
There are buttons behind calligraphy and paintings, or there are secret passages behind Duobao Pavilion, which is basically like this.
The accounts here continued to settle accounts and pawn items, and Wen Songzhi led people to the study and other places to look for secret rooms, but they still found nothing.
Later, Shen Mingzhu asked him not to be busy, "Let's eat first." ”
Naturally, those bookkeepers also had to eat in shifts, and she also asked people to call the wine and food of several major restaurants in the capital to feast those shopkeepers, and invited them to sit here, so there was no need to waste time.
And they also have a benefit here, the things they pawn are all above board, in order to raise the 100,000 taels of silver, she won't take more.
While eating, Shen Mingzhu suddenly had an idea, she instructed a mother-in-law, "Go, send someone to invite Young Master Liu over." ”
Liu Lingzhe didn't come over in order to avoid suspicion before, but now that Shen Mingzhu invited him, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Liu Lingzhe soon came on horseback.
Shen Mingzhu told him what he meant, "Young Master Liu has lived in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, do you think there is anything strange about it, there may be a secret room?" ”
Liu Lingzhe thought for a while and shook his head, "He is very cautious on weekdays, and he never lets us follow when he does things, especially us......
