I took the candle on the table and came to the entrance of the cave, but I saw a brick staircase leading to the secret room below, I went down the stairs to the bottom, and there was a torch stuck in the wall under the steps, I lit the torch with the candle, and the room was lit up, and I felt the mechanism under the torch, and closed the door of the secret room from the inside again.

The secret room is not big, there are four iron chains hanging from the roof, and a lamp is hanging on each chain, I light the lamp with a torch, there are no boxes in the room as I imagined, only a table and a few chairs, and four cylinders, one in each corner, and a wooden lid on the cylinder, I opened it casually, but I saw that the tank was filled with water, I understood that this is cheap Dad has already prepared, if there is any emergency one day, run inside, no water is not good, and there is also a function, that is, to prepare for fire prevention.

I saw nothing, so I pushed open a door to the inside, the door was a stone door, I made a lot of effort to push it open, this is not a secret room, but a corridor, there are also a few oil lamps hanging in the corridor, the oil lamps are filled with lamp oil, I lit the oil lamp, only to see clearly, the corridor is more than ten zhang long, the corridor has a total of eight doors, four on one side, I pushed open the first room, but saw that this room is a bed inside, the furnishings are similar to our bedroom, but there is no bedding.

I saw a wardrobe by the wall, opened it casually, the wardrobe was full of clothes for the four seasons, what styles there are, there are fabrics and satin, anyway, it is suitable for all classes of wear, this cheap dad, thinking too long-term, worthy of doing a lifetime of brocade clothes, thoughtful, careful, bold, ruthless. In the dark compartment under the wardrobe, there are all kinds of shoes. But I'm still a little disappointed not to see the treasure I wanted.

I opened the opposite door again, there was a pot stove in the room, and there were a dozen sacks, a few jars, and there was a choking smell of stone ash, which I should have put in food and the like, and I was not interested in looking at it, so I closed the door directly, and walked to the door below.

The door opened, and there were the boxes I had been looking forward to, not very large, stacked on the wall, neatly stacked. There are more than a hundred, which occupy most of the room. I put the torch on the iron ring of the torch on the wall, moved the next one, the box was not locked, opened it and looked, there were ten taels of silver ingots inside, this box should be one thousand taels, one thousand taels according to the old measurement method, that is, about sixty-two catties, more than one hundred boxes is one hundred thousand taels. I didn't look at the chest below either, and it was probably all silver.

Picking up the torch, I looked at the back rooms, and three more were like this one, filled with boxes, which was four hundred thousand taels. I can't suppress my excitement, so much money, I have never seen it in my life, if I spend it alone, it doesn't cost several lifetimes, this cheap dad can really make money, no wonder the Chinese people like to be officials in all dynasties, it turns out that being an official has such great benefits.

There are also the last two rooms, I pushed one in, and saw that there were no more boxes in the previous rooms, but there were also about twenty boxes, a little bigger than those boxes, I opened one, but saw that it was full of pearls and jade, jade and agate, under the light of the torches, shining dazzlingly, I opened all the boxes around me, which were full of these jewelry and the like, and a few boxes were full of gold ingots.

There are a few boxes in the corner, I went over to open them again, they were full of calligraphy and paintings, I don't like calligraphy and paintings very much, and I don't know the value of geometry, so I didn't open it, but since my cheap dad got it and hid it here, it must be a very valuable thing.

After looking at these rooms, only the last one remained, the gold, silver and jewels were all finished, what was hidden in this, with curiosity, I pushed open the door and went in, but I saw that the furnishings of this room were the same as the first room I came down from, there was no change, the only difference was that there were two doors in this room, both locked with iron locks, and the doors were also wrapped in iron sheets, and if you wanted to open them, it would take a lot of effort. I suppressed my curiosity and asked Cheap Daddy what was inside later, and it was better to get the key.

The human psychology is like this, the more you don't show it, the more curious you are. But what is in it, you must ask the cheap dad to find out, or you can't sleep well.

After reading the contents of the secret room, I went back to the door with a torch, blew out the torches and oil lamps, lit the candles and returned to the study above, put the mechanism away, and restored it to its original state.

It's not early now, I think there are too many things I have experienced in the past two days, from last night's life and death, to today's promotion and fortune, and to the cheap dad, the huge amount of money in the secret room, just like a person, who has experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter in one day, the alternation of hot and cold is too powerful, if there is a little problem with the heart, maybe it will be shocked due to excitement.

There is another problem, so many jewels, gold and silver, if it is shipped out, it is also a trouble, hundreds of boxes to not alarm others, it is really difficult to do, I don't know how the cheap dad got them in at that time, digging such a large secret room, it is also a big project, in the case of the capital is all spies, the cheap dad must have put a lot of effort into it, but I didn't expect to make a wedding dress for people, it became my property.

Leaving the study, to the opposite bedroom, the bedroom is still lit, Chunlan sat on the chair and took a nap, saw me come in and stood up and said: "Young master, it's not early, you can rest in peace, I have laid the quilt for you, I haven't used it for a long time, it's a little damp, I'll take it out for you tomorrow to dry." ”

"Okay, you've worked hard, Chunlan, there's something I want to ask you, the housekeeper didn't say he wanted to come over, why didn't he come, and besides, the master told me to let you make me a side room to serve me, I don't know if you want to."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Chunlan plop down and knelt down and said: "Young master, you spare the little girl, the little girl was already engaged back then, but because the family was poor, her fiancé went to the border in the army, so it has been delayed until now, young master, your family background is good, and the person is good, find a good one, the little woman is not worthy of you, young master." The housekeeper said that he would come over tomorrow, and the master would go to him today to do something else," and cried as he spoke.

"Okay, don't cry, you're crying here in the middle of the night, people don't say I'm bullying you, since you already have a fiancé, this young master, it's not difficult for you, tomorrow we will buy a few small guys, and it will save you from working so hard, young master, I am also an official now,. There are not many small people around, and it is not convenient. When I was not at home, except for the two elder brothers Chen, no one else was allowed to come in the inner room, including Lao Liu. It's not early, I'm tired, you go and rest. ”

Chunlan saw that I was not angry, stood up and wiped her tears, and left the room in promise.

I couldn't sleep after lying in bed for a while and a half, and I was worried about what happened to the old man, such a big capital, I have nowhere to find it, it seems that I still have to go back to the cottage. Xiaoyi didn't know if he ran out or not, how did I explain Zihan's side, and I fell asleep after thinking about it.
