Chapter 510: The Treasure House of the Marquis of Liyang (1)
"It's the official, it's the official." How dare the servants hide it, they point to the corpses and their identities one by one, and everyone competes to identify the corpses in order to survive. Although everyone is afraid of the dead, they are even more afraid of death, and it is nothing to betray the master's house at this time than to be killed. And they are just servants, and there are many people who have been forcibly bought and sold to the mansion, how can they have any loyalty to the Liyang Hou Mansion.
The corpses of the two hundred and thirty-four people in the Liyang Marquis's mansion, including the concubines and concubines of the Liyang Marquis, are all here.
"How is it different from what the government records?" Guan Xiang took the roster and asked, "The government only recorded one hundred and twenty-eight, but now there are two hundred and thirty-four, counting you, two hundred and forty-four people." β
"Back to the official, it's because the housekeeper is afraid of being too polite, so he specially underreported." A little manservant said.
Guan Xiang asked again: "What shops does Liyanghou have in the city, and where are the locations of the stores, do you know?" β
"I know a few places where I can take you there." The manservant said busily.
Guan Xiang stared at the boy and asked, "How many do you know?" β
"Eighteen."
Guan Xiang laughed: "Okay, come on, he will take him to count the eighteen shops in the Liyang Hou Mansion and pick the smallest reward for this child." β
"Huh?" The manservant just wanted to live, but he didn't expect to be rewarded to the shop, so he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare." β
Guan Xiao said: "You can keep it, it's just the smallest of the eighteen." Whoever serves our ghost guards will be rewarded, and you must know that our ghost guards have clear rewards and punishments. β
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." The manservant knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks, and in the blink of an eye, he changed from a small servant to a big official.
A little maid next to her suddenly picked it out and said, "Master Guan, Master Guan, I know a treasure house." β
"Treasure trove?" Guan Xiang asked, "What treasure trove?" Warehouse? We have sealed it, and there is nothing in it but some silver and grain. Why is this Liyang Hou family so poor, I thought there were many of them, only 30,000 taels of silver, did they all exist in the money bank? β
The little maid hurriedly shook her head and said, "Master, it's not a warehouse, it's not a warehouse in the Liyang Marquis Mansion." The precious things in the Hou Mansion are hidden in the secret treasure house of the Hou Ye, and outsiders do not know about it. The last time the maidservant heard Shizi talk about it when he was drunk, but he only mentioned it once, and then said it again. β
"Where?"
"It seems to be in the master's bedroom, but I don't know where."
"Take us there."
Guan Xiang had long suspected that the Liyang Hou Mansion could not have only 30,000 taels of silver and 20,000 catties of rice noodles, but now that he heard that there was still a treasure house, he immediately took his subordinates to look for it in Liyang Hou's bedroom. They are not thieves or robbers, but they are openly raiding homes and checking assets, so they don't care about any secret passages and secret doors and other institutions, they directly take turns to tear down houses and dig walls.
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
The violent and unjustified treasure hunt soon yielded the simplest and most effective results, with a hidden wall hidden behind the bookshelf, and a secret passage was opened to open the dark power. Jas also led the team to explore the treasure in the underground treasure house, and Guan Xiang let the little maid walk in the front, and the rest of the people followed behind her.
The little maid was frightened enough, and walked trembling for a while, and came to a door, and when she saw that the door was locked, she reluctantly turned back to look at Jas.
Jas also carried his hammer and smashed it three times, but the door fell.
"This is the secret room, I don't know how much silver." Jas also laughed, he walked in first, and then he was surprised to find that there were bags of fine noodles hidden in this secret room, and under the bluestone slab walls around him were several lime jars that hit the door.
"Watch out for the flames lit here, lit up with lanterns." Jas also ordered, and everyone hurriedly switched to lantern lighting, although it was a little dimmer than the flames, but fortunately there were no enemies here.
Bags of fine noodles are much more valuable than rice, and they can be called top-notch fine grains. The lime piled up in the corners of the walls was also useful, as it was used as a desiccant to absorb water, and even Jas found a layer of planks underneath the planks that were also laid with lime. The underground treasure house is fully moisture-proof, anti-theft, and arson, and a full 2,000 catties of fine noodles are put in detail.
"That's it?" Jas also couldn't cry or laugh, scratched his head and said depressedly: "Save the grain, how afraid this Liyang Hou is of starvation, this is not a treasure house, whose treasure house hides food." β
"Maybe the gold and silver are hidden in it?" The subordinate suggested.
Someone searched for the thin noodles, but found nothing, and the thin noodles were really just fine noodles. Some people even searched in the lime tank, but they were very disappointed to find that there was only lime in the lime tank, and there were no treasures.
"me!" Jas also pulled his hair frantically, and said angrily: "Is this Liyanghou sick?" Is it sick? Is he a starving ghost reincarnated? Only grain in the treasury? Is he crazy? β
"Official-official, it seems to be different here." The little maid trembled and pointed to the bluestone slab on the side of the door frame and said, "It seems to be quite clean here, and I often touch it." β
Jas also immediately walked over to take a closer look, this bluestone slab was really different, a little different from the bluestone slabs around him, so he picked up the hammer and smashed it. After hearing a creak, a revolving door made of bluestone slabs was smashed alive by Jas, revealing a second chamber in black with a bang.
"It's done!" The crowd was overjoyed.
Jas also laughed, and said, "I said, it can't be so simple, this Liyang Hou is too cunning, if I just pushed open or pried open the wooden door, the wooden door will naturally block the position of this stone door after it is pushed open, so we can't find this real secret room." Little girl, you have made a great contribution, and I will inform Master Guan of your merits in a moment, he has always been very generous, and will reward you with gold and silver. β
The little maid hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you." β
"Let's go and go in and see the jewelry." Jas laughed too, and then a few soldiers walked in, and then looked at the second chamber with a dumbfounded gazeβall of them were jars and jars, and there was a strong smell of oil wafting through the room.
"It'sβ" Jas also opened a jar, and immediately found that it was rapeseed oil, a whole jar of canola oil. He was confused, and he didn't understand why there was rapeseed oil here, could it be that there was gold and silver treasure in it? So he put his hand in and dug it outβthere was nothing in it, but his clothes and armor were all canola oil, and the grease was on his body, on his face, and even into his nose, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
