"Uncle Chen, it's getting late, it's more dewy, please go back early and rest, if you suffer from the cold, how can the little one explain to the old lady?" Jin Cai smiled carefully.

Jia Chen smiled meaningfully:

"All I thought about before the death of the ancestor was that treasure knife, as the descendant of the ancestor of the prince, how could I live up to his wish when the old man was dying, I must find it as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the little servants, and commanded:

"I'll assign a task, one person at the door of each room, and no one will be allowed to enter the house until the search is made!"

"Yes!" The little guys took their orders and left.

Jia Chen asked Jia Lian to lead his subordinates to search room by room, but after searching all the rooms, they still found nothing.

Jia Chen's face sank, it seemed that Jia's mother's private money was really not in this backyard.

Just now, Jin Cai and his wife deliberately pushed and resisted, putting on a reluctant posture of not wanting to open the door, they should be deliberately acting, making Jia Chen mistakenly think that there was really a treasure hidden in this backyard.

The faces of these two people look quite honest and honest, but in fact, they are not honest at all in their hearts, but hide some treacherous and cunning tricks.

Jia Lian walked up to Jia Chen with a disgraced face and asked dejectedly:

"Brother Xian, there is no one in the backyard, what should I do next?"

Jia Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Go back first, and wait for Ming'er." ”

While speaking, Jia Chen's eyes kept squinting at Jin Cai.

He noticed a smug look in Jin Cai's eyes that had succeeded in his treacherous plan.

It seems that Jin Cai and his wife did hide Jia's mother's private money elsewhere, so they are so fearless.

Jia Chen looked up at the Mao Moon adorned next to the cornices, and thought with a calm face where the money would be hidden in the ancestral house?

The layout of the ancestral house, in addition to the backyard, is the front hall.

There are people coming in and out of the front hall every day, and there are many people, and there is a high probability that the two of them will not hide the treasure here.

But there are no absolutes in everything, and there is also a saying that the lights are dark, maybe the most dangerous place for the Jin Cai couple is the safest.

Jia Chen's thoughts were racing, and when he had an idea, he smiled at Jin Cai and his wife:

"I'm tired of Uncle Jin and Aunt Jin today, and when I return to Rongfu in the future, I will definitely take more care of Sister Mandarin Duck and Brother Xiang."

As soon as they heard that Jia Chen promised to bring his children, Jin Cai's wrinkled old faces burst into laughter, and Jin Cai and his wife hurriedly gave up their hands and thanked them repeatedly.

Jia Chen said goodbye to Jin Cai and his wife, and went straight to the front hall with Jia Lian and the little guys.

But before leaving, Jia Chen secretly instructed the two little guys to quietly keep an eye on Jin Cai and the two of them, and once they wanted to secretly transfer the treasure, they would report it immediately.

When they arrived at the front hall, Jia Chen asked Jia Lian to lead the servants to search every corner, carefully checking whether there was a mezzanine under the floor and behind the walls.

But they searched inside and out several times, but still found nothing.

Jia Lian was so anxious that he stomped his feet, sat down on the Taishi chair with his buttocks, and complained:

"Where did this old thing hide his money? Searching for treasure was originally a beautiful thing, but I didn't expect it to be more tiring than when I was in the Wake Hall supervising the repair of the tomb. ”

Jia Chen's eyes lit up suddenly, and he smiled at Jia Lian with a joking smile:

"I thought of a place where there is probably a treasure hidden, if you are tired, go back and rest, and I will take someone to dig for treasure."

As soon as Jia Lian heard this, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up like a spring under his buttocks, and shouted excitedly:

"Brother Xian, I'm not sleepy at all, where is the treasure? Let's go now! ”

Jia Chen smiled: "Follow me!" ”

Under the leadership of Jia Chen, the group rushed to the wake hall on the outskirts of Jinling.

Jia Lian was stunned and asked, "Brother Xian, don't you want to say that the money is hidden in the Wake Hall?" ”

Jia Chen smiled incomprehensibly: "Whether it's in it or not, just search for it!" ”

"Okay!" Jia Lian was like a hound, completely ignoring the image of the usually gentle and elegant son-in-law, and led the little servants to rush into the wake hall.

However, after less than half a cup of tea, Jia Lian was like an Erha who had been in trouble, drooped his head, went out dejectedly and walked in front of Jia Chen, muttering with a wistful expression:

"Brother Xian, I didn't find it."

Jia Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you searched it all?" ”

"Searched!" Jia Lian replied dejectedly.

"I'll see." Jia Chen strode into the wake hall, where there were several tables and chairs and two large beds.

"Have you searched under the bed?" Jia Chen felt that the two beds were nearly twice as large as ordinary beds, which was very suspicious.

Jia Lian responded: "I searched it, but there was nothing under the bed." ”

Jia Chen leaned down and looked under the bed, and it was indeed empty underneath.

"Come on, move both beds!"

With Jia Chen's order, the little guys rushed up and moved the two big beds aside.

"Knock on the floor and see if there's a mezzanine?" Jia Chen ordered.

As soon as the words fell, the little guys fell to the floor one after another, knocking inch by inch to listen to the echo.

Jia Lian walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, stomping from time to time.

Suddenly, Jia Lian's eyes lit up, he paused, and stomped several times in the same position.

"Brother Xian, it seems to be empty down here!" Jia Lian's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly.

"Come on, cut this floor!" Hearing Jia Chen's order, the little guys hurriedly found pickaxes and shovels, and shoveled the soil with their arms.

"Uncle Chen, Second Master Lian, it's really empty down there!" A guy shouted excitedly.

Jia Chen hurriedly looked at it, only to see that in the steaming dust and smoke, a large hole one meter square appeared on the ground.

Jia Lian laughed excitedly: "Hahaha....... Great, brother, we've found it! ”

Unlike him, who was so excited that he lost his temper, Jia Chen still had a calm face, but a faint smile rose at the corner of his lips, and he commanded:

"There should be a cellar down here, Second Brother Lian, you take someone down to have a look."

"Okay!" Jia Lian was so distracted that he didn't care about the dirty dust on the ground, and went into the cellar with all his limbs.

After a few breaths, I only heard Jia Lian's excited screams from the cellar:

"Brother Xian, you are really clever! We're rich! There are nine large chests underneath it, full of gold, silver, and jewelry! ”

Jia Chen ordered: "Bring out these boxes and count them." ”

Soon, the little guys carried the nine boxes to Jia Chen.

Jia Lian came out of the cellar, his face was gray and covered with a layer of soil, but he didn't care about wiping it, and shouted repeatedly:

"Hurry, hurry! How much treasure is there? ”

The wealth is moving, the eyes of the little guys are full of greedy golden light, and the corners of their lips even overflow with saliva, but Jia Chen and Jia Lian are watching from the side, they don't dare to steal and hide.

Under the gaze of Jia Chen and Jia Lian, the little servants carefully counted the treasures in the box.

Jia Chen asked Jia Lian to bring pen and paper to record the types and quantities of treasures.

After the record was completed, Jia Chen picked up the booklet and saw that it read:

"Five thousand taels of gold ingots.

100,000 taels of silver ingots.

Two Golden Buddhas.

Two pairs of gold silk agate bracelets.

Three pairs of jasper bracelets.

Five pairs of jade ruyi.

Eight pairs of jade hairpins.

Eighteen large pearls.

Fifty-eight small pearls.

......”

Jia Chen looked at the dense recording data, and a smile rose on the corner of his lips.

The annual income of Ning Rong Erfu is about 50,000 taels in total.

Among the treasures in front of him, the gold and silver ingots alone were added up to 150,000 taels of silver.

It is equivalent to the total income of the two governments of the Jia family for three years!

If you add other jewelry, it's even more.

Unexpectedly, Jia's mother hid so much money in private.

There is a saying in the Dream of Red Mansions, "Whatever you say is glorious, and the beginning of provocation is really peaceful." ”

Now it seems that this is not entirely true, Jia Mu is the initiator of the fall of the Jia family.

She embezzled the money from the Jia family, and would rather bury the money underground than use it to revitalize the Jia family.

With such a master who harms the public and private interests, can Jia Jiayan not die?

At this time, Jia Lian was lying in the gold and silver treasures piled up into a hill, excitedly touching left and right, looking at the posture, eager to sleep with the money in his arms.

Jia Chen smiled indifferently and said:

"Second Brother Lian, put these treasures back in the cellar first, and seal the cellar mouth."

Jia Lian was not happy when he heard this, and asked with a bitter face:

"Brother Xian, we finally dug it up, why do we have to bury it back?"

Jia Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, these treasures won't grow wings and fly, you first take someone to put the money into a big box and put it back in its place, I have my own plans." ”

Tonight, under Jia Chen's exquisite command, Jia Lian had already regarded this cousin as a god, and naturally he also took his words as if he were a god, thinking in his heart that Jia Chen must have a deep meaning in doing this, so he didn't refute it anymore and acted according to the plan.

While the servants were busy packing the treasure into boxes and burying them in the cellar, Jia Chen commanded again:

"Second Brother Lian, I'll just watch here, you take ten people to my room and move all those account books over."

Jia Lian asked curiously, "Why do you want to move the account books to this wake hall?" ”

Jia Chen smiled incomprehensibly:

"I can't explain it to you in one or two sentences, you just do it, and when you wait until tomorrow, you will naturally understand."
