For many years, he didn't care about the life and death of his subordinates, but after he greedily spent the disaster relief money, he began to build a large number of repairs to the courtyard, and Wang Han's old thing would have such a good heart.

While scolding in his heart, Liu Huayun bent down and picked up a two-foot-long scrap wooden stick, walked to the side of the wooden purlin, and knocked it a few times.

"Well, it's not hollow, could it be that I miscalculated?"

Bang bang ~~~, listening to the dull and empty muffled sound, he looked up at the inexplicable He Jin, Xu Yun, and Lu Feng and others, and he walked to the other wooden purlin without giving up.

It's just that, after the beating, the sound of those wooden purlins is still the silent sound of bumping.

"Huayun, do you suspect that there is silver hidden in the wood? How is this possible, the wood is intact as a whole, Master Ji and I have checked it at the beginning, and there is no problem at all......

It's time for your stepmother to prepare a banquet, let's go back to the house, and it's not too late to find a way to find it elsewhere tomorrow......"

Xu Yun and He Jin are both smart and wise people, it is easy to see what he is doing, and seeing that it is getting late, he can't help but persuade.

"Well, then, father, have you checked the timber on the house?"

Liu Huayun threw away the wooden stick in his hand, carefully observed the waste and sawdust scattered around, and looked at Xu Yun with a faint smile.

"That's not true, it's just the wood on the house, if Wang Han really touched it, how can the wooden beams withstand so much pressure?"

There were only seven or eight houses in this annex, and apart from the gables, only four or five wooden beams were required, and less than sixty purlins;

However, the lost disaster relief silver taels are more than 300,000 taels, that is, more than 20,000 catties, and if they were really hidden in the timber of the renovated houses and spread evenly to each house, at least about 3,000 catties.

In this way, each wooden beam and purlin needs to be put three or four hundred catties, that is, about five thousand taels.

If you want to dig out such a large space for a wooden purlin with a diameter of 20 centimeters and a length of more than 3 meters, its load-bearing capacity will be greatly reduced, so Xu Yun has this to say.

"Lu Feng, Guo Jing, let someone find a ladder to go up and split a wooden purlin to see ......"

Seeing that the sky was about to get completely dark, Liu Huayun had no intention of leaving the courtyard here, but turned around and smiled and instructed Lu Feng and the others.

"Yes, don't obey!"

Liu Huayun's decision, Mo said that Lu Feng and the others would not be disobedient, from the bottom of their hearts, they all blindly worshiped their own adults.

After answering the promise, several musket battalion boys quickly found a wooden ladder, and under the gaze of Xu Yun, who shook his head secretly, and He Jin, who was full of indifferent smiles, Lu Feng personally climbed up to the eaves with a machete.

After a moment, he removed the small cyan tile, revealing the plank and the purlin underneath, and the machete in his hand was a fierce slash against it.

Bang bang bang ~~~, the machete broke through the wooden board and split it on the wooden purlin, it was still that dull sound, there was no emptiness at all, He Jin, who still believed in Liu Huayun, did not show a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

Lu Feng has been in the army for four or five years, and he is already in the prime of life, and after these hours of physical training, his arm strength is quite amazing.

In the midst of the flying sawdust, within a moment's effort, less than half of the twenty-centimeter wooden purlin had been cut off by him, and suddenly, with a sound of machetes rubbing against the metal.

Everyone inside and outside the courtyard unconsciously held their breath and looked at the roof.

"My lord, I found it, there is really silver in it, but it doesn't seem to be pure......"

Under the cover of night, Lu Feng put away the machete, carefully observed the metal gap in the wooden purlin, and said to Liu Huayun with a happy face.

"It should be mixed with lead, Lu Feng, you can split another one to see if it is still the case?"

Liu Huayun smiled faintly and waved his hand at Lu Feng on the house.

really found the silver in the wooden purlin, Xu Yun was pleasantly surprised, and the old face couldn't help but be a little hot.

Fortunately, it was getting late, and Liu Huayun and He Jin's attention was on the eaves, so he could feel better.

"My lord, I found it, and there is the same silver in this purlin......."

Soon, Lu Feng stopped what he was doing and looked back at the few people below.

"Okay, Lu Feng, come down, let the brothers take turns to guard this place, and start demolishing the house early tomorrow morning."

"Yes," Lu Feng and the others responded, with unconcealable adoration on their faces.

Wang Han's hidden stolen silver, but there are hundreds of thousands of taels, Admiral Xu Yun searched for more than a month but did not find it, as soon as they came, they found clues, how can people not be proud.

"Huayun, how do you know that the silver is hidden in the renovated building?"

When Lu Feng, Guo Jing and others went to the restaurant outside in batches to eat and repair, Liu Huayun, He Jin, and Xu Yun came to Xu's mansion by carriage again.

At this moment, the Wang family had already made a sumptuous meal, and at the banquet, Xu Yun, who was no longer under pressure and seemed to be more than ten years younger, put down the wine cup and asked with a smile.

"Father-in-law, how can I have this ability, I just have doubts and let people try it......"

Liu Huayun smiled faintly and replied very humbly.

In fact, as he said, at the beginning, it was just out of speculation in Wang Han's heart, since all the clues were a bluff of suspicion;

The most likely place to hide the disaster relief money was the Admiral's Palace, plus the unusual repairs to the house, and the sawdust and soot that had not been cleaned up in the courtyard.

Sawdust is well understood, repairing the premises? It is inevitable to trim uneven wood, but what is the coal used for? Unless it's smelting something.

Speaking of which, four or five hundred catties of silver plus lead, smelted into a silver rod more than three meters long, hidden in a wooden purlin, not only can bear the load, but also does not use too much space, and will not have any impact on the house at all.

And there are wooden purlins in the courtyard that have never moved their hands and feet as a cover, so it is difficult for ordinary people to find abnormalities;

For example, Xu Yun and Ji Xiaolan, they only checked the wooden purlin in the courtyard, and they were sure that Wang Han left it because he was in too much of a hurry.

"Huayun, His Royal Highness the Prince, I thank you on behalf of all the victims."

Anyway, Liu Huayun only arrived in Kaifeng for half an hour, and he found a way out of the stolen silver for him;

Tomorrow, after letting people smelt the silver again, the grain money owed to those big businessmen on credit will be able to make up for it, and Xu Yun still has to thank him.

In this way, the banquet was drunk until late at night, and they returned to the Admiral's Mansion under the escort of Xu Yun and Xu Li'er.

With Lu Feng and Guo Jing personally leading the musket battalion with strict military discipline, and the Ouchi guards guarded in shifts, and outsiders didn't know that they had found the silver, the night was very peaceful, and no accidents happened.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Liu Huayun and the others had just gotten up, and the Admiral's Mansion was in full swing, and Lu Feng and more than 100 others were sparing no effort to demolish the house.

Bang bang bang ~~~, on the house where the small tiles were lifted, the wooden purlins and wooden beams were removed and thrown to the ground, and they were split by the young man who held the axe and machete high;

This violent scene can catch up with Liu Huayun's demolition brigade in his previous life.
