Regarding the issue of taking the ransom, Zhang Yuanwai did not think of it, but for some reasons that could not be said, he directly gave up this idea.

Now that it has reached this level, some words continue to be concealed, and there is no great meaning, so they also say it directly.

"Actually, this kidnapper really miscalculated, I don't have much silver anymore, it seems that he is still quite rich and powerful, but in fact, it is empty, there is nothing left, it is estimated that the rest is only enough for my son to grow up, and he will need to work his own in the future."

After finishing speaking, he showed a bitter smile, and he also felt a little helpless in the face of such a situation, which was something he didn't expect at all.

And after hearing him say this, Shen Jingde and Qi Shi both showed expressions of disbelief, they never expected it to become like this, and they didn't know whether what he said was true or deliberately lying.

Because the two of them went to ask Shen Lian for help, they just wanted to get some benefits from Zhang Yuanwai, if it was really according to what he said, then I am afraid that these benefits would not be able to get a little bit.

Suddenly, the hearts of the two people were full of disappointment, but now if they change their faces directly, the purpose will inevitably be too obvious, and if it is passed out, it will not be of any benefit to the two of them, so they can only keep silent as much as possible, but their faces drooped uncontrollably, and at a glance, they knew that the two of them were a little angry and dissatisfied.

And Shen Lian also noticed the changes in the two of them, and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, she really wanted to get something, but in the end, she didn't get anything, and she wasted time and energy in vain, which is really interesting.

After hearing Zhang Yuanwai's words, the butler who had been kneeling on the ground showed a shocked expression, and he couldn't believe it.

After all, he has been in the Zhang family for so many years, and he also knows what strength the Zhang family has, even if it really reaches the point of despair, it shouldn't be as Zhang Yuanwai said, right? It shouldn't have reached that level of exaggeration.

"Master, is what you said true or false? I've been a housekeeper for so many years, and I've been in the treasury, but there's no problem, there's still a lot of gold and other things stored in it, and there are a lot of jewelry, so it's not as you said at all. ”

After hearing his words, Zhang Yuanwai laughed directly.

"What you see is too one-sided, and if that's the case, do you think I'll ignore my own son for the money? You know very well how important he is to me, even if it is to exchange all my wealth for my son, I am willing, how can I give up my own son for the sake of glory and wealth? What he said was indeed reasonable, and the housekeeper also knew very well how much Zhang Yuanwai loved his son, but he had also seen it with his own eyes in the warehouse, and there would be no fake.

Moreover, for so many years, where the Zhang family has not spent a huge amount of money, it should be unlikely that such a thing will happen.

Seeing that all the people looked incredulous, especially after the butler finished speaking, they all began to doubt the truth of what he said.

Knowing that they wouldn't believe their words so easily, Zhang Yuanwai got up directly.

"You wait for me a while, I'll come when I go."

What exactly he was going to do, no one knew, just stayed there and waited silently.

After a while, Zhang Yuanwai came back, still carrying a small box in his hand, and when he opened it, it was full of glittering gold ingots.

After seeing it, everyone's eyes instantly straightened, and he said that there was no money in the house, but this small box was enough.

After seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Yuanwai was not surprised, and did not explain anything, "Do you all think this is gold?" ”

"If it's not gold, can it be stone?" Shen Jingde was amused by his words, and felt that what he said just now was crying poor at all, didn't he take out a box of gold ingots all of a sudden? For this box of gold ingots, only two people are not tempted now, the first person is Yin Chen, which is nothing to him at all, so naturally he doesn't take it to heart.

And Shen Lian has never thought much about money, in her opinion, as long as she can live on her own, it is enough, and she does not have too much pursuit of material life.

After staring at the gold for a while, she vaguely felt that the color of the gold seemed to be a little wrong, and it seemed to be a little darker.

It stands to reason that in this era, the purification technology of gold is not particularly good, and it will not reach this fineness at all, so it feels a bit fake.

Coupled with Zhang Yuanwai's words just now, it made her feel even more that there was something wrong with the gold.

"It's not gold, is it?" After hearing her words, everyone looked at her one after another, showing surprised expressions, and the butler who had been kneeling on the ground directly sarcastic, "Are you blind?" Isn't this gold, is it steamed bread? ”

"I don't know what it is, but it's certainly not gold."

For Shen Lian to be so sure, Zhang Yuanwai was very surprised, because she didn't touch it, but she still saw it clearly in such a short time, so she naturally admired her a little.

"You say it's not gold? On what basis did you judge it? "For until then such things as gold had been kept in the treasury, but whoever went in thought it was full of gold, and had no doubt at all.

But Shen Lian was able to see it very easily, which really made him a little unable to understand the reason why she was so sure.

"As far as I know, the current purification technology is not very high, generally speaking, this color of gold, the requirements for purification technology are very high, so I think, this is definitely not gold, but something made into the shape of gold, and then coated with gold powder."

After she finished guessing, Zhang Yuanwai couldn't help but applaud, feeling that she was really amazing, even this could be seen, and I had to admire her, and even think that she was much more powerful than everyone said.

"That's right, it's not gold, it's made of flour in the shape of gold, and after it's set, it's coated with gold dust."

After finishing speaking, he directly picked up a piece of gold in the box and smashed it on the ground, and in an instant, the gold revealed the prototype, which also surprised the other people present.

Although many people entered the storehouse, they all looked at it from a distance and did not touch it, so they mistakenly thought it was gold, but it was not real gold.

It was proved that the gold was fake, but everyone did not understand why he did it.

Shen Jingde asked curiously, "What is the reason why you are doing this?" Why do you want to do that? ”

"To gag all the mouths."

Zhang Yuanwai's face showed a bitter expression, "I don't want to do this at all, but I have to do it in this world, because all of them are dog-eyed and low-looking guys, just like you, if you know that my Zhang family is down, are you willing to call your daughter to help find my son?" You won't, so I can only disguise it like this, making people think that my Zhang family is still strong, so that there will be more opportunities. ”

Faced with his words, Shen Jingde felt red for a while, feeling as if he had been stripped naked and thrown on the street, extremely ashamed, because he knew very well that there was no problem with what Zhang said outsider, it was all the truth.

Seeing that everyone was starting to care about the matter of gold, Shen Lian pulled everyone's thoughts back and shifted the topic to the more important things now.

"Don't forget, the most important thing we have now is to get Young Master Zhang back, and now the others haven't come back, and the person who kidnapped the young master hasn't been caught yet!" "How to find it, there is no evidence at all now, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" Shen Jingde sighed.
