With the faint light of the fire fold in his hand, Luo Qingluan saw countless treasures.

The tall coral trees, red as blood, blue as emerald, white as jade, with different postures and priceless values. There are all kinds of jade and jade carved ornaments, just a white jade Guanyin is three feet high, carved lifelike, warm and transparent.

Screens inlaid with various colored gemstones, pagodas made of pure gold, and various antique calligraphy and paintings are placed on the shelves one by one, and I don't know how many there are at a glance. Luo Qingluan is not bad, after all, he has seen a lot of things in the Chu Wang's Mansion before, and the various industries under Nalan Ye's name have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver per month, but Luo Qingluan rarely touches this kind of thing.

Luo Qingluan didn't care too much, but Xu Lian's eyes were almost straight, and even her breathing was a little heavy.

"Miss, look, there are so many treasures here, this county guard doesn't know how many things are greedy for ink, and sure enough, all of them are placed here." Although he had been prepared in his heart for a long time, Luo Qingluan was still a little surprised to see that there were so many priceless things in this library.

A county guard can be greedy for so much money, and other court officials can be imagined. If it is really three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

Not only were these treasures in front of him that couldn't fit into the boxes, Luo Qingluan also saw that the warehouse was full of boxes one after another, all of which were wrapped in thick iron sheets and locked.

Xu Lian walked over, directly poked the silver hairpin into the keyhole, fiddled with it a few times, and the box opened in response. Sure enough, there was a box full of silver ingots, stacked neatly. Xu Lian didn't stop, and opened the one next to her casually, this one was not a silver ingot, but a box full of gold ingots.

Xu Lian picked one up, and it was fifty taels. There are at least a hundred such boxes in this box, so this one box is 50,000 taels of gold, and there are more than a dozen such boxes in the entire treasury, so how much should it be?

There are some small wooden boxes on the wooden shelves, Luo Qingluan opened it and saw that there were boxes full of pearls, all of which were round and pearlescent, which were the best pearls of the East China Sea.

A small box was opened next to it, and sure enough, there were still valuable gold and silver jewelry!

Seeing this, even Luo Qingluan was a little shocked, this is a full warehouse, how much should it be worth?

"Miss, this county guard is so greedy, it's not a good thing at first glance, why don't we just find some brothers and move all his things here?" Xu Lian said suddenly.

"Do you still want to rob the rich and give to the poor?" Luo Qingluan couldn't help but smile and shake his head, teasing a few words.

Xu Lian wrinkled her nose: "What's wrong with that, anyway, these are all from the county guards, and they can be taken from the people and used by the people." ”

Luo Qingluan looked at her and smiled faintly: "Usually forget it, but don't forget, what is the purpose of our coming tonight?" No matter how much he has here, let's not forget the mission. ”

"Alright then, miss, he's really cheap." Xu Lian dispelled the idea of emptying this warehouse and began to search seriously with Luo Qingluan. Because these priceless things are not what they are looking for tonight.

In fact, Luo Qingluan didn't know what they were looking for, but as long as it was suspicious and problematic, maybe he would understand it when he saw it.

This warehouse is not big, basically the level of two rooms, Luo Qingluan and Xu Lian carefully checked it, and opened every box to see, but there was nothing special to find.

In addition to antique calligraphy and paintings, there are gold and silver jewelry, otherwise there are some large objects placed next to it. In terms of value, it is indeed very valuable, but I am afraid that all the things in this treasury will not add up to less than two or three million. But these are different from what Luo Qingluan thought in his heart.

No matter how valuable these things are, they are definitely not those things that Xu Wei found that day, and the people from the county guard mansion secretly transported them in the middle of the night. What is it that is worthy of the county guard to send someone to be cautious and need to be transported into the house in the middle of the night?

Luo Qingluan couldn't think of it.

After checking for a long time, there was indeed nothing to find, and Luo Qingluan even wondered if there was a secret door in this warehouse, and there was another secret room hidden in it. But she and Xu Lian knocked on the four walls one by one, and they didn't find anything abnormal, and there was no secret.

"That's strange, miss," Xu Lian looked at Luo Qingluan, cloaked her hands and said, "We've been looking for so long, but we haven't found anything else, did they bury all these things in the ground, or did they fly into the sky?" Impossible. ”

Xu Lian looked around, but she really couldn't think of any doorway.

Standing in place, Luo Qingluan thought quietly, she could guarantee that they had checked all the warehouses, and there was nothing else except for the valuable things they saw in front of them.

Don't...... A thought flashed through her mind, could it be that they had actually investigated the wrong thing in the first place, and what they were looking for was not in the upper warehouse, right? Luo Qingluan couldn't help but think of Xu Wei, those things that were secretly transported in the middle of the night were actually hidden in the middle pants?

If that's the case, then no matter how long they look here, they won't find anything.

"Xu Lian, let's go, it seems that there is no more here, let's go to Xu Wei to have a look, maybe he has news there." Luo Qingluan greeted Xu Lian, and the two came out immediately.

When she arrived at the door, Xu Lian went to look at the two guards who had been thrown in the flowers before, and when she saw that they hadn't woken up yet, Xu Lian simply clicked on their acupoints again, which was enough for them to sleep until dawn.

Avoiding the patrolling guards along the way, when Xu Lian and Luo Qingluan found the location of Zhongku, they just saw a figure flash out of it. Both sides were startled, but fortunately no sound was made, and in the darkness, a deep and familiar voice sounded: "Miss, why are you here?" ”

"Xu Wei?" Xu Lian's voice carried a hint of surprise, and rushed over and said, "You almost scared us." By the way, did you find anything here? ”

Xu Wei shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything, it's all worthless and broken things here, and there is nothing abnormal at all." ”

He looked at Luo Qingluan again: "Miss, did you find anything there?" ”

"That's weird, how could you not find out?" Without waiting for Luo Qingluan to speak, Xu Lian was already surprised, "Miss and I didn't find anything, and you didn't find anything here, how could this be?" Is there nothing at all? So they are busy secretly transporting these things every day, where do these things go? Why can't we find it? ”

At this moment, something suddenly flashed in Luo Qingluan's heart: "It seems that we are all wrong, that thing is not hidden in the middle library, nor is it always in the upper library, but in the place where we least noticed." ”

Xu Lian immediately reacted: "Miss, should you be talking about going to the library?" ”

Luo Qingluan said in a deep voice, "This is the last place, we can only go there to see, maybe the most inconspicuous place hides what we are looking for." ”

"Makes sense." Xu Wei nodded and said, "Good young lady, let's hurry over now, there is still an hour, the sky is about to dawn, and if you don't hurry up, it will be too late." ”

Quickly returning the same way, the three of them arrived at the small garden where they had met before. All the way by, next to it is the dirty and dusty lower warehouse.

Xu Lian walked over, and was about to take out the silver hairpin, wanting to poke open the rusty lock, Luo Qingluan immediately said, "Wait." The lock in the lower compartment is obviously rusty, and it seems that it has not been changed in years, and if it is pried open like this, then it will definitely be discovered. ”

"But if we don't pry it open, then how are we going to get in?" Xu Lian looked at Luo Qingluan with some embarrassment.

This warehouse in front of her is Luo Qingluan's last hope tonight, if she can't find it here, then she has to think of another way to re-investigate where these things are hidden.

Standing in the doorway, she pondered

Unless it's something you want to fork in, and the thing isn't here at all, then ...... Since they didn't find out, they must still be here. If the people of the county guard want to hide the things that have been brought in, there must be a place to hide. If it's this lower library, then I'm afraid there is a way to open the door that she doesn't know.

Luo Qingluan held his chin in his hand and said softly, "Will there be other passages to enter here?" ”

"Miss, I'll check." Xu Wei immediately stepped forward and quickly walked around the warehouse.

After a moment, Xu Wei said with joy on his face: "Miss, I really found something." ”

Following Xu Wei over, Luo Qingluan saw that in a vacant lot next to the warehouse, the color of several green bricks was a little different, because it was night, she didn't notice it at all before, but now Xu Wei carefully checked it, and sure enough, she found an abnormality.

Squatting down, Xu Wei reached out and buckled it, it seemed that there was another space below, and the sound from it was a little dull, completely different from the usual hardened ground. He directly took out his long sword, inserted it through the gap, and quickly pried up the big green brick.

The entrance of a black hole was revealed, and Xu Lian's heart jumped.

When Xu Wei lifted the three green bricks next to him, a straight step appeared in front of the three of them.

Xu Lian was pleasantly surprised: "Miss, it turns out that the entrance is here, no wonder we couldn't find it before." ”

Sure enough, Luo Qingluan looked at this step and said in a deep voice: "In a county capital, there must be something strange about having such a hidden underground secret room." Let's go, let's go down and have a look. ”

"Miss, it's better to be cautious." Xu Wei hurriedly reminded: "I think, it's better for me to accompany Miss down, in case there is any problem, I can also protect Miss." Xu Lian, you'd better stay on top, in case someone comes to seal this entrance, won't we be locked up here by the other party?" ”

Xu Lian nodded: "You're right, so be it." ”

"Xu Lian, I'll leave it to you." Luo Qingluan said.

Although she couldn't go down to find out, Xu Lian felt a little pity, but she still nodded: "Don't worry, Miss, you can go down." ”

In order to avoid being discovered, Xu Wei went down to the inside of the passage before lighting the fire fold in his hand, and the faint and flickering light illuminated his shadow, and there was darkness ahead. Luo Qingluan followed behind him and walked down slowly.
