Chapter 166: Who is the fish that slipped through the net?
Looking at this portal again, I feel very different, and the feeling of other people's homes is different from my own. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć On both sides of the gate outside the mansion, there are two fierce stone lions squatting majestically, carved vividly, the plaques on the eaves have been removed, leaving the traces of time, and some craftsmen are busy.
The front yard is a huge garden, its overall layout is centered on the central pool, the pavilions and pavilions are all built near the water, and some pavilions are straight out of the water, with the characteristics of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Before entering the door, you can see a pool of clear water around it, the waterfront mountain is rugged, the corridor is winding like a belt, and the leaky window in the corridor integrates the mountains and rivers into one. The front yard is dominated by mountain rocks, the mountain is lush and green, there is a pond carved at the bottom of the mountain, and the mountains and rivers are connected by a zigzag corridor. The corridor of the curved column, the ancient trees are green, and the lake stones are stacked.
The main building of the front yard is located on the south bank of the pool, the pond is separated from the main scenery of the east and west two mountain islands, the pond water is clear and broad, the lotus flowers are planted all over, the mountain island is shaded by turns, the vines on the waterfront are draped, there is a small bridge between the two mountains and valleys, a pavilion is built on the mountain island, the west is the Weiyun Pavilion, the east is the listening rain Xuan.
The front yard is elegant but not luxurious, through the infiltration of the leaky windows on the corridor, it communicates the mountains and water inside and outside the park, so that the water surface, the pond bank, the rockery, and the pavilion are integrated. The stone path on the mountain in the garden is circling, the ancient trees are verdant, the bamboo is covered, the vines are hanging, the wild flowers are clustered, the simplicity is natural, and the scenery is as smooth as the real mountain and wild forest.
Qin Feng did not break into the mansions of rich families in later generations, their castle buildings, what European ancient style, but compared with this garden, the gap cannot be calculated by reason.
"I didn't expect that in this northwest place, there is also a courtyard of the Jiangnan Water Town." Qin Feng said with emotion, but this beautiful garden is his own, and his heart was excited again.
As long as he lives happily, under the conditions, Qin Feng does not feel sorry for money, and he is now a family that is not bad for money, after the money won from gambling will be invested in Zheng Liwan's career, there is still a lot left, and the pile of money is now kept by Mrs. Qin, although I don't know how much this garden-style house costed, but the money should be more than enough.
"Second son, you're here!" An old voice came, and an old man in his sixties walked over with a brisk walk.
"Alas! Grandpa Xiong, slow down, slow down! Qin Feng saw the old man running, only to see his heart pounding, this old man was the steward of the Qin Mansion, named Yang Xiong. His origin is not simple, he used to be the personal guard commander of the backer king Yang Lin, and he died in his hands from all walks of life, because Mrs. Qin is Yang Lin's most favored and only righteous daughter, in order to ensure the safety of his beloved daughter, Yang Lin matched Yang Xiong, who he relied on the most, to Mrs. Qin as a bodyguard.
Yang Xiong has never been married in his life, and has dedicated his life to the most respected backer, and after he arrived under Mrs. Qin, he has been conscientious in life and work, and has not made any mistakes over the years, winning the respect and trust of Qin Qiong and Mrs. Qin. Qin Qiong took pity on him and had nothing to rely on, so he let Qin Zhan and Qin Feng
Accompany the elderly when they are idle, so that they can enjoy the "joy of family". Therefore, although he and Qin Feng are different from master and servant in name, they have a strong family affection in their hearts.
No one in the Qin family regards Yang Xiong as an outsider, making his status in the Qin family very transcendent, over the years, Qin Qiong has encountered some things that cannot be decided, and will consult with Yang Xiong, to a certain extent, Yang Xiong is playing the role of Qin Qiong's military advisor. Yang Xiong was able to serve as the personal guard commander of the backer king Yang Lin, but it was not just as simple as a martial artist, but his wit was also extraordinary.
"Second son, don't underestimate my old Yang, don't look at me old, but my strength is undiminished, I'll catch the tiger for you another day." Like all old people, Yang Xiong has a heart that does not accept old age.
"Master Xiong, just blow it!" Qin Feng smiled and teased: "When people are old, they have to serve the old, this is something that cannot be helped." ā
I could only hear Yang Xiong's anger, and the old eyes glared: "Huang Zhong is seventy-two years old and listened to Xiahou Yuan, the general of the Wei State, you and I are only thirty out of sixty, but we are young!" ā
The reason why the old naughty boy is called the old naughty boy is that when he is a certain age, his mentality has returned to his true nature, and he has a child-like innocent mentality.
"Okay, you, you're younger than me, I'll just call you a bear next time." Qin Feng said jokingly!
"Gotta get it! I know how to make fun of you. When a person is sick, he becomes wiser and sharper. Yang Xiong muttered.
"Master Xiong, why are you here?" The joke should be stopped in moderation, and this male master will be provoked, and the first one to clean him up will be Mrs. Qin.
Yang Xiong said: "Isn't it for you kid?" This is your new home, and I don't worry about others! ā
"Why are you embarrassed to work your old man?"
"Hmph, you kid doesn't look embarrassed." After a while, Yang Xiong sighed with emotion and said with something in his words: "It is said that the Heavenly Dao cycle, this is not false at all, after changing hands several times, this house is still back in the hands of the county lord." ā
"Master Xiong, you said that this was the house of the backer of the king?" Qin Feng asked in surprise.
Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Isn't it? The prince was a word side by side king, His Majesty Emperor Wen's most trusted brother, the reward of the year was really a lot, there are hundreds of real estate in all parts of the country alone, to the Yang Guang period, the prince is still a transcendent status, Yang Guang loves Jiangnan is famous, the officialdom at that time, all of them are proud of having a Jiangnan water town style real estate, the prince is innocent and honest and will naturally not follow the trend, but Yang Guang did not treat the prince badly, and gave away five mansions in one go, and this is only one of them, but the prince has been running everywhere all his life, He had never enjoyed a day of peace, and he had never lived in this house. Due to the large number of properties of the prince, the young lady did not know that this house was the house of the prince back then. After changing hands several times, I let the lady buy it again, which is also a kind of fate. ā
Qin Feng asked, "Does my mother know?" ā
Yang Xiong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Miss will be sad, so I didn't say it." ā
Qin Feng's mind suddenly moved, and he asked with a smile: "By the way, Master Xiong, is there any secret in this house?" It's a little thing you don't usually care about. ā
Yang Xiong glanced at Qin Feng in surprise, and said with a wry smile: "I really can't hide anything from you kid." This house does have some things that outsiders don't know, and it's also your grandfather and I who handle it. ā
"What's the secret?" Qin Feng asked curiously.
Yang Xiong saw that this was not the place to speak, and said, "You come with me." ā
Qin Feng followed Yang Xiong to a relatively secret house in confusion and looked at Yang Xiong quietly.
Yang Xiong didn't procrastinate, and said: "The secret is in the pool in the front yard." At the beginning of the design of this house, there is a secret room under the pool, the purpose of which is naturally to hide the treasure, the two emperors of the previous dynasty have never treated the prince badly, the reward has never been interrupted, over the years, the prince has had countless wealth, even the prince does not know how many assets he has, back then, the world was in chaos, the prince saw that things were not good, for fear that the treasure would fall into the hands of others, so I let me transfer the treasure to military funds, but unfortunately the world was too fast, there were many bandits at that time, in desperation, I had to hide the treasure of the prince at the bottom of the pool. ā
"You mean we're rich?" Qin Feng forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and asked with a smile.
Yang Xiong said: "Isn't it? I'm old, I can't use those things, and I'll be yours in the future. ā
Qin Feng asked, "How many are there?" ā
Yang Xiong recalled for a moment and said, "Forty boxes of silver cakes, twenty-four boxes of gold bars, and forty-eight boxes of various rare treasures, a total of one hundred and four boxes. ā
Qin Feng gasped, what a terrifying amount did this add up?
Not to mention raising people, it's no longer a problem to raise an army with this huge amount of money!
No wonder Yang Xiong said at the time that there was no way to move out of Chang'an City, this number was too huge.
Suddenly, Qin Feng's heart suddenly burst into his heart, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, so he asked, "Master Xiong, did anyone else know this secret except you at that time?" ā
A cold light flashed in Yang Xiong's eyes, and he said, "How can anyone else know this kind of big secret." ā
Qin Feng understood, the people who hid the treasure together were probably all wiped out by this old man.
"I think we should still go and see, didn't you say that this house has changed hands several times?"
Yang Xiong's face changed greatly, and he said anxiously: "You mean, someone removed it?" ā
Qin Feng said calmly: "It's possible. This is a peaceful and prosperous world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the land in Chang'an is an inch of land, but listening to my mother's meaning, she seems to have taken a big advantage when she bought this house, what does this mean? It shows that the other party is afraid that he has got more things here, and he doesn't care about the value of the house itself. What kind of business is at a loss, and the realization of the house is just a pretext, which means nothing more than to leave Chang'an City as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night. ā
As he said this, his body shook.
If it falls into the hands of ordinary people, it will be enough to create a rich man at most, but if it falls into the hands of people with intentions, especially uneasy elements, it will be a big trouble. That staggering fortune is more than enough to assemble a well-trained and well-equipped army.
Yang Xiong also realized the seriousness of the matter, and his face also showed a nervous look, that day, Chang'an City was already in chaos, and he did not do a detailed inspection after he killed it, so he hurriedly returned to the palace to take Mrs. Qin away, and it is unknown if there are fish that have slipped through the net.
Yang Xiong found the entrance of the secret passage, lit the torch, and took Qin Feng down the steps, this is an artificially dug passage, I don't know how deep it is, after going deeper than fifty meters, I saw more than 20 pairs of dead people's bones neatly placed on the ground, all crawling on the ground, clothes and pants have rotted, needless to say, it must be the person who was killed by Yang Xiong.
Qin Feng didn't have time to sigh, and asked eagerly: "Master Xiong, you count, can the number of people match that day." ā
Yang Xiong counted it, suddenly became short of breath, and said in a trembling voice: "At that time, including me, there were a total of twenty-eight people, and there were twenty-six corpses on the ground. ā
Qin Feng smiled bitterly: "In other words, there is another fish that has slipped through the net." (To be continued.) )
