"Wan'er, why are you here?"

Dong Ping closed the deadbolt and quickly turned around and said.

Today is Cheng Wanli's birthday banquet, Cheng Wan'er, who is a daughter, no matter how much she has an opinion with her father, she won't not go to participate, right?

Although according to the original trajectory, although the relationship between the two is indeed not very good, Cheng Wan'er's approach still makes Dong Ping feel strange.

Dong ...... Brother Dong Ping? Cheng Wan'er heard that someone had entered the house behind her, and she turned around in shock, and only after seeing the person clearly did she put her mind at ease, and after quickly wiping the tears on her face, she just said with a touch of blush on her face: "Why didn't you come in without knocking."

"That...... You'd better put on your clothes first. ”

Dong Ping laughed embarrassedly, looked around again, and saw that no one else was there, so he let down his guard and wiped his sweat.

Cheng Wan'er then remembered that she was bathing, and suddenly her face was flushed with shame, and she hurriedly pulled a veil and separated it, and said in a hurried tone while getting dressed: "Brother Dong Ping, you are not allowed to peek over here!"

Damn, Dong Ping wanted to scold at that time, I, Dong Ping's dignified husband, is he such a lascivious person?

Dong Ping was still thinking nonsense, and saw that Cheng Wan'er had already changed her clothes and arrived in front of him.

There are still a few drops of water on the tips of her hair, the crimson on her body has not completely faded, and although the light blue dress is simple, it still can't hide the gentle and innocent temperament.

"Did you come to the house to look for me?" Cheng Wan'er smiled like a silver bell, "I didn't expect that the dignified Dong Dadu Eunuch would finally have time to come out for a walk." ”

"You little girl, you have learned to make fun of me, what else can I do if I don't ask you to come to Taishou Mansion?" Dong Ping smiled, "By the way, isn't it your father's birthday banquet today, why are you still here?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Wan'er's head lowered, her face was not very good-looking, and there seemed to be a slight hint of hatred in her eyes, and there was a trace of helplessness.

"What the hell is going on?" Dong Ping frowned, "Who dares to bully you?" ”

"I didn't ...... Nothing. Cheng Wan'er raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "Brother Dong Ping, if you can trust Wan'er, don't mention this matter again." ”

"Wan'er, you can't trust me." Dong Ping's tone was a little low, "I said that I want to give the woman I love the best life, don't you even want to tell me about this now?" ”

Cheng Wan'er shook her head: "Don't say it again, sooner or later, you will know the truth of the matter."

Dong Ping sighed, it seems that she really doesn't want to say it today, so there's no way, she can't be strong, right?

Find someone to inquire another day, and there should be results.

"Knock knock!"

"Who is it?" As soon as the two heard the knock on the door, they instantly became vigilant, and Cheng Wan'er walked to the door and asked.

"Miss, we heard something unusual in the house, so we want to make sure you're safe." The knocking on the door stopped instantly, "Are you okay?" ”

"What can I do, you guys can leave if you're okay."

When the people outside the house heard this, they had to leave, and after a while, there were no footsteps.

"Wan'er, then I still have something to do, so I'll leave first today." Dong Ping smiled, "It's not convenient to stay here for a long time, if your father knows about it, it is estimated that it will be another meal." ”

"You can't spend more time with me." Cheng Wan'er said coquettishly, "It's hard to see you once, and people still want to go shopping on the street." ”

"Well, huh, what do you say?" Dong Ping racked his brains to think of an excuse, he just said that he came to see her specially, so he had to find a suitable reason to leave, right?

If it is delayed any longer, if Cheng Wanli comes back early, things will happen.

"Wan'er, that's the case, everyone has some secrets." Dong Ping looked at Cheng Wan'er, her tone suddenly became serious, and she said seriously, just like a teacher educating a student.

"Like you didn't want to say just now, I also have to go back and deal with some urgent matters."

Dong Ping said while paying attention to Cheng Wan'er's expression.

This little girl still listens to it with relish? One moment nodding and the other smiling.

It seems that he still has a set of convincing people, why didn't he find out before, Dong Ping said secretly.

"So, can you understand me now?"

"Well, Brother Dong Ping, if you have something to do, you should be busy first, Wan'er won't affect it." Cheng Wan'er was still smiling innocently, as if she didn't care about Dong Ping's pigeon.

Khan, I didn't expect it to be fooled so quickly, Dong Ping had nothing to say in his heart.

This Cheng Wan'er is really empathetic, and if she can live with her for the rest of her life, it will be a kind of happiness.

"Okay, then we'll talk about it next time." After Dong Ping finished speaking, he opened the door and disappeared into the night with a single arrow step.

Cheng Wan'er looked at the direction where Dong Ping was going, just sighed, closed the door again, sat back on the edge of the bed, and a few more tears fell on her face.

In the Taishou Mansion, in the middle of the night, there is naturally no one at this moment.

This is the place where Tai Shou usually handles official business, and logically speaking, it should be the most bookshelves and official documents, but here in Cheng Wanli, it is naturally impossible for these things to appear.

The room is full of all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, vases, strange stones, and ancient cultural relics collected from nowhere, and there is almost no extra space in the room except for the space to walk.

And these also gave Dong Ping a good space for concealment.

Now there are only two guards standing guard outside the house, with the special stealth training that Dong Ping received before, it is easy not to be discovered by the other party to sneak in in this environment, and take away one thing.

But, I'm afraid there isn't that item here.

"Where the hell is this dog officer hiding!" Dong Ping kept scolding in his heart, almost all of them were rummaged here, and there were no clues, it seemed that it was time to leave.

"Bang dang!" Dong Ping accidentally touched a vase next to him, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, but he was quickly shocked.

I saw that the vase did not look like it was going to overturn as expected, but turned clockwise by itself!

"Boom!"

With a slight sound of stones rubbing, the vase stopped turning, and then a piece of the wall was recessed, and a staircase leading to the ground appeared inside!

"I didn't expect there to be a mystery here!" Dong Ping's mood at the moment was both shocked and excited.

Naturally, since you can't find it in the house, it's very likely that you're hiding in this secret room, and there may even be other surprises!

What was shocking was that such an advanced mechanical power technology existed in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and he had just seen clearly with light perspective that the operation of this boulder and the ladder could only be pushed behind by a lever system!

And what kind of power does it rely on, he doesn't know, is it an internal combustion engine? Or a steam engine, or a diesel engine, in the Northern Song Dynasty, why did this epoch-making technology appear?

"It's too late to think about it!"

Dong Ping secretly snorted, and then bent down and walked down the stairs.

Despite being prepared, Dong Ping still felt the shock deeply.

As soon as I entered the underground secret room, I saw that the ground was full of one layer, until it was more than a zhang high, and it was full of mountains of countless gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings!

This basement is only a little more than a hundred square meters, but there is almost no place to stand, and when you step forward, you will reach the pile of gold and silver!

This Cheng Wanli, it turns out that what is placed outside is just the tip of the iceberg!

No wonder in the Water Margin, Song Jiang copied Cheng Wanli's house, and only divided half of the furniture out, so that he could give a few taels of silver to each household in the city!

And the remaining half of the money, tens of thousands of people on Liangshan can still use it for a while!

And this, I guess not include this basement!

I didn't expect Dongping's commercial trade to be so prosperous! Dong Ping secretly exclaimed, Dongping's taxes are estimated to account for one-third of the entire Shandong, otherwise there would not be so much money for this corrupt official!

Despite this, Dong Ping looked around, there was still no whereabouts of the official seal, and finally, his attention fell on a box with a gold pattern.

This is a luxurious treasure chest with a border decorated with gold bars and a jade inlaid chest, and if you still can't find it inside, you are doomed to go home empty-handed today.

"Huh?"

Dong Ping was about to pry open the iron lock with a dagger, but suddenly frowned, and his eyes stayed on this lock.

On this lock, there is a pattern that is very familiar, and it is a bit like the official seal of Qingzhou Taishou!

Dong Ping had talked about this object by chance with an antique dealer friend before, and that time his friend brought an ancient official seal, and the one in front of him was almost exactly the same as in his memory!

How can there be something from Qingzhou Taishou here? Dong Ping thought to himself, and didn't have time to think about it, he pulled out the dagger, pried the lock off, put it away, and pushed open the heavy lid of the box and looked inside.

Soon, Dong Ping's pupils dilated suddenly, and his breathing was almost held for an instant.

"This ...... This is ......" Dong Ping reached out and picked up a piece of jade pendant at the bottom of the box, his right hand trembled slightly, and his eyes began to flicker, as if he had seen something incredible.

The jade pendant was held in Dong Ping's hand, as if it weighed a thousand catties, and it involved his emotions.

After staring for a long time, Dong Ping's heavy gaze moved away from the jade pendant, tucked the jade pendant into his sleeve indiscriminately, and then swept his gaze to the rest of the box.

In addition to some gold and silver, the most striking thing in the box was a slightly yellowed piece of paper.

Dong Ping carefully took out the paper and looked at the contents of the paper by the faint moonlight outside the window.

Dong Ping's gaze stopped at the bottom of the letter at the beginning, only to see that there was another official seal of the Qingzhou prefect.

The current Qingzhou prefect should be Murong Yanda, but how could he have a secret letter with Cheng Wanli, and it was sealed in such a secret place?

Dong Ping didn't have time to think about it, he glanced down from the top of the paper again, and before he saw a third, his expression became more and more solemn, and when he saw half of it, Dong Ping put down the paper, and there was basically no useful information behind it.

Dong Ping took a deep breath, the turbid air in the basement made him feel a little uncomfortable, but his spirit was also more sober.

"Cheng Wanli and Murong Yanda, these two madmen are so rampant!"
