After seeing Lin Yuan leave, Lu Chen discussed the future development of the Holy City with the old patriarch and Long Yan and the others. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, they just roughly imagined that after all, none of the three of them were experts and didn't understand this aspect of things at all. This also made Lu Chen realize that he should find a deputy city lord for the Holy City, after all, he would not be able to stay here all year round in the future.

Seeing that the discussion could not come to a conclusion, Lu Chen simply stopped continuing, he still had more important things to do, there was still a 'big fat meat' in Minzhou City, but it was robbed by others if it was too late.

On the same day, Lu Chen took Long Yan and a team of Holy City City guards to set off towards Minzhou City. But before they could walk out of the holy city, they were stopped by Li Xinran, who suddenly appeared. As soon as the eldest lady appeared, she was very dissatisfied and shouted, "Lu Chen, you are the adjutant of General Ben!" You don't call me when you go out now? ”

Last time, Lu Chen forcibly left her behind on the grounds that the battlefield was too dangerous, but this time he really couldn't find a reason, and finally could only reluctantly agree to take her to Minzhou City, anyway, now Minzhou City is no longer dangerous.

After the three of them left the city, they rushed towards Minzhou City as fast as possible. However, Li Xinran is just a girl after all, and she can't keep up with the team physically, so they can only be a little slower so that Li Xinran can catch up with them.

When he came to Minzhou City, Lu Chen found that all the corpses on the ground had been disposed of, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, otherwise, letting Li Xinran see the previous scene was likely to leave a shadow psychologically.

As soon as they entered the city, the generals who stayed in the city immediately surrounded them, and one of them gave a salute to Lu Chen and the others, and said in a very 'righteous manner': "General, the city has been cleaned up, and the Jiang family has colluded with the Tubo people and sold grain and grass to the Tubo without permission, and we have also seized their family property and are waiting for the general to deal with it!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen glanced at this person meaningfully, and said, "Okay, you will count these properties and report them to Your Majesty, and as for the property, all the property will be charged to the treasury!" ”

As he spoke, Lu Chen came to the Jiang family's ancestral house under the leadership of this group of generals. When they arrived here, most of the generals all consciously stayed outside, only the person who spoke before and Long Yan followed Lu Chen into the ancestral mansion. As for Li Xinran, he had already gone shopping with more than a dozen guards, and he called it a beautiful name: to inspect the recovery of Minzhou City after the war. He didn't have the slightest interest in the ruins of the Jiang family's ancestral house.

The general who led Lu Chen and the two over had obviously already found the Jiang family's secret room, and he led the two of them through this ancestral mansion with ease. A moment later, they came to a firewood house, which was nothing more common here.

I saw this general walk in, and then put his hand under a pile of firewood and grass and broke it hard, and with a rumbling sound, a huge hole appeared in front of the three of them. At this time, this person bowed his hand to Lu Chen and said, "General, we have already gone down to investigate before, and we only entered the secret room after killing and wounding several people, but now the danger has been clarified."

Lu Chen nodded, and walked directly down from the stone cave without hesitation, the general also followed closely behind Lu Chen, and Long Yan was at the back. If this general really has any conspiracy, the two of them can subdue him in an instant.

Coming down from the stone cave, there was an underground passage more than two meters wide, in which there was a glowing bead every ten meters, Lu Chen shouted in a low voice, "Is this the pearl of the night?" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's exclamation, the general behind him explained, "This kind of bead is called sunstone, although they are very similar to the appearance of the Night Pearl, but these things need to be taken outside to absorb the sun's light in a few days, otherwise they will gradually dim."

Hearing this person's explanation, Lu Chen suddenly realized that Lu Chen was really startled just now. You must know that the Night Pearl is a precious treasure that even the emperor only has a few pieces, if the Jiang family really sets a few Night Pearls here, it will definitely scare people to death when they say it.

The three of them walked along the dimly lit passageway. It can be seen that there are some traces of destruction in this passage, which should be left by the previous traps when they were broken.

The passage was not very long, and when the three of them came to the end, the general who had followed Lu Chen before walked to the front, only to see him press on a stone that was not very obvious next to him, and the stone wall next to him suddenly moved to the side, revealing a hole in place.

Lu Chen walked in, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, although he had expected that the Jiang family had definitely a lot of wealth, but now he was still shocked by the scene in front of him, what appeared in front of Lu Chen was boxes of gold, and the entire secret room was full of gold, and there was nothing else. The soft light of the surroundings reflected a golden glow throughout the room.

Although he had seen it before, but when he came in again, the general still couldn't help but look at the gold with burning eyes, it was all pure gold!

Lu Chen looked at it for a while, then turned to the general beside him and said, "All the gold here is sealed, and then I will transport it to the capital and fill it into the treasury!" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, this general took the lead and glanced at Lu Chen with some surprise, isn't this young man a little moved when he sees this gold?

Seeing that Lu Chen's face was still normal, he sighed lightly, and then reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the gold, and arched his hand, "Obey!" ”

Lu Chen stepped forward, only to find that the outside of the gold was all bound together with some unknown materials, probably because of this reason, although the general found the secret room, he still did not dare to swallow a piece privately. After all, these golds are all tied together, and as long as one piece is taken, there will be a vacancy, which is easy to find.

Subsequently, Lu Chen asked Long Yan to find the guards of the Holy City, and asked them to cover all the gold with thatch and other debris, and then transport it all to the Holy City. Finally, when they returned to Chang'an, they escorted the gold back.

After they took a look here, Lu Chen asked the general to count the total amount of gold, Lu Chen didn't want to be framed by others for embezzlement and bribery, especially on the premise of not being corrupt.

In fact, these gold Lu Chens did not intend to steal it at all, although the reserves in this underground secret room were very huge, even if he privately swallowed some of it, others would not be able to see it. However, Lu Chen's mind was not on this.

Lu Chen asked just now, this secret room was confessed by the old housekeeper of the Jiang family's ancestral house, according to the general who brought him over, the old housekeeper couldn't bear their punishment, so he quickly confessed, and told most of the organs one by one.

This doesn't seem to have the slightest suspicion, but Lu Chen doesn't believe much in the words of this old housekeeper, could it be that the housekeeper of the largest family in Minzhou City is such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? No matter how corrupt the Jiang family is, they should attach great importance to such an important position as a housekeeper. They can't let a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death be their steward!
