Ling You kicked the bed board again, and the clattering sound came again.

Lift the blanket across the bed board, Lingyou and Chonglou one left and one right, and kick them hard at the same time.

The bed slats shattered, revealing a pitch-black space inside.

Tsukimi quickly found the candle and lit it, and handed it to the two of them.

Chonglou took the candle and squatted down to look inside, "It's a secret door, leading to the northwest." ”

"Let's go inside!" Ling You kicked away the broken wood and got into it first, followed by Chonglou.

The two of them crouched to the head of the bed, and in the dim glow of the candles, they saw at the same time a narrow wooden door three feet long and two feet wide inlaid on the wall. The door was locked with an iron lock. After Ling You unscrewed it with internal force, the space hidden behind the wall was instantly exposed.

Chonglou first poked in with a candle, and after seeing that there was nothing but rows of tall wooden boxes, he motioned for Lingyou to guard outside, and he leaned over and opened a few nearby wooden boxes.

Ling You immediately asked, "What is it?" ”

Chonglou's face was cold and said, "Copper coins." ”

Ling You snorted, followed and drilled over, and then poked his head back and shouted, "Childe, I have found the secret vault." ”

Xie Xuan ordered: "Move the bed away." ”

Ling Quan and Zhao Wuwei stepped forward at the same time and pushed the bed aside together.

Ling You heard the sound and poked his head out again, "Childe, the secret vault is here." ”

Feng Shoudao stepped forward quickly, asked him to give up some space, and then squatted down to look inside. Looking at the wooden boxes piled up in the secret vault, and was about to ask what they contained, Ling You opened a few more boxes, took out a bunch of coins from them, and raised them in front of him, "No need to ask, it's all copper coins." ”

All of them? Looking at the hundreds of boxes, Feng Shoudao gasped, and was about to return to Xie Xuan, when the sound of the urn came from the end of the box: "There is also a basement here!" ”

Basement! Feng Shoudao's head was buzzing, and after taking another look at the boxes full of secret vaults, he got up and said, "Let someone come and smash the secret door." ”

Zhao Wuwei left in response.

In a few moments, several officials came in with hoes and hammers, and at his command, it took only a few moments to smash a hole along the secret door.

Wait for the smoke to clear.

Xie Xuan entered the secret vault first.

Chen Chaoyan followed closely behind him.

"It's no wonder that when I checked just now, I couldn't hear the sound of knocking on the wall. The wall was built so thick, and the copper coins were piled up against the wall in wooden boxes. This Qi Wu is really not ordinary treacherous and cunning. Tsukimi entered the vault and said as he looked at it.

Ling You came out of the dark passage of the basement and said exaggeratedly: "What is this, you come down to look at the basement, it is definitely beyond your imagination." ”

"I'm going to see if it's beyond my imagination." Tsukimi turned sideways through the cramped path left between the stacked wooden boxes, and walked quickly to the dark passage. After pushing Ling You away, she stepped on the wooden ladder and quickly descended to the basement.

Immediately after, Ling You's proud voice came out: "How is it?" Isn't it beyond your imagination? ”

Yuejian didn't speak, only quickly climbed the wooden ladder and shouted, "Childe." ”

Xie Xuan walked around the secret vault, and then followed Yuejian down the wooden ladder.

Chen Chaoyan was still close behind him.

In the novel, the treasure is always described as a river of gold, a bridge of white jade, and a mountain of gold, silver and jewelry. The shots depicting treasures on TV and in movies are always glittering. And in front of you, there is nothing. Some are just paved with a hanging copper coin, and from the point of view of the foot, at least three layers are paved. There are also boxes of gold bars, jade, pearls, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., stacked in different categories. Standing at the entrance of the basement and looking at it, it doesn't look like a treasure trove, but like a neat and clean large warehouse.

This Qi Wu is somewhat obsessive-compulsive.

After Chen Chaoyan scolded for two sentences, he looked at Xie Xuan, who tapped his palm with a jade bone landscape fan, and looked around like a leisurely stroll.

His eyebrows are still picturesque, and his expression is even more light.

It's just that after entering the secret vault, he hasn't opened it again.

Chen Chaoyan and he have been together for almost three months, and he still can't guess what he thinks in his heart.

If you can't guess, you can't guess.

Chen Chaoyan stood next to the box containing the gold nuggets and didn't move, waiting for Xie Xuan to come back after walking around, and then said, "Look at the area, the entire back garden has been hollowed out." ”

Xie Xuan said 'um' and did not answer.

Chen Chaoyan glanced at him, and then looked at Ling You, Yuejian and the others who were constantly looking at various boxes, and joked: "It seems that private mining of iron ore is indeed very profitable. ”

"It's just a small leader in Luyang County, and it's richer than the treasury, of course it's profitable." Xie Xuan sneered slightly.

Chen Chaoyan said without being abusive: "Think about it from another corner, these gold, silver and jewelry are all yours now." No matter how much money they make, they're just making money for you. ”

Xie Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed twice: "Then please ask the princess to make persistent efforts and let them make more money for this king." ”

Chen Chaoyan subconsciously looked at Feng Shoudao, who had just descended to the basement.

Feng Shoudao lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, pretending not to hear anything.

Zhao Wuwei looked at the front right, and also pretended not to hear anything, although his heart was already turbulent.

"That's right, Qi Wu can hide so much money, and the small leaders of other counties must also hide so much money. As long as the princess finds them all, then we will send them! Ling You, who was coming back and looking at the gold nuggets, echoed loudly.

Chen Chaoyan: ......

She's damned.

She doesn't have a long memory.

For no reason, why did she speak?

But since she spoke, since she was called the princess, she couldn't suffer. Chen Chaoyan took two steps, picked up two gold nuggets from the box opened by Lingyou and was worried, and then went to the jade box in front of him to take out a jade Ruyi and said, "Get paid in advance, it shouldn't matter, right?" ”

Xie Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth, and Chunshan smiled: "Everything that was searched out today is yours." ”

Chen Chaoyan indifferently refused: "No need." ”

"Take it, it's a gambling debt." Xie Xuan glanced at the basement again, and calmly ordered, "Count the number, make a register, and hand it over to the princess for inspection." ”

The waiter and Wenmo did not come, and Yuejian and Ruolan should come down on their behalf.

Chen Chaoyan quickly glanced at the basement: Since it is a low gambling debt, she is welcome.

Coming out of the basement, standing in the secret vault, looking at the boxes of copper coins, Xie Xuan ordered again, "Move ten boxes back to the county guard's mansion and keep you for backup." ”

Feng Shoudao was about to refuse, but Xie Xuan had already raised his feet and left.

Looking at his back, Feng Shoudao hesitated for a moment, and then instructed Zhao Wuwei: "Since it is the order of the prince, then move ten boxes." ”

Zhao Wuwei said yes, called the official who was waiting in the bedroom to listen to the orders, came in, and moved ten boxes of copper coins out.

Whether it's a vault or a basement, the amount of property involved is huge, and someone needs to stay and guard it, just in case.

Zhao Wuwei and Chonglou automatically stayed.

Get back to the carriage of the county guard.

Xie Xuan leaned on the soft pillow, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Chen Chaoyan sat across from him, looking at the coldness between his eyebrows, and said without turning a blind eye: "This search, except for those money, gold, silver and jewelry, is not nothing. ”

Xie Xuan opened his eyes and looked at her.

Chen Chaoyan said: "Although the courtyard where Qi Wu and his wife live is as simple and simple as the courtyard next to it, it is much more exquisite. For example, the furniture used in the adjacent yard is almost all ordinary wood. But the courtyard where Qi Wu and his wife lived, whether it was a table, chairs, or a coffee table, was made of pear wood, or the more expensive rosewood. ”

This was found by Ling You and Chonglou from the broken wood section after Ling You and Chonglou kicked and shattered the bed board.

Qi Wu is indeed very cunning.

The expensive rosewood was disguised by him as ordinary wood. The first time she checked it, even if she touched it, she couldn't find the mystery in it.

"No matter how expensive rosewood is, it is not worth mentioning compared to the red sandalwood, nanmu and gold, silver and jade in the homes of Wang Da, Song Yanzhong and others." Yuejian said, "Although Wang Da and the others were imprisoned in the North Prison, they still enjoyed the money they earned. Qi Wu made so much money, but he hid it all, and he didn't know what it was. ”

Yes, I didn't buy another house, I didn't buy a field, and I only had two concubines. What was the purpose of the money he had earned and hid in the vaults and crypts?

Chen Chaoyan couldn't guess.

Xie Xuan didn't guess at all and closed his eyes again.

Chen Chaoyan didn't bother him anymore.

When he returned to the county guard's mansion, seeing that his expression was still cold, Chen Chaoyan did not follow him to Muyuan Hall, but went back to the Star Picking Tower alone.

"Sister." Since she set off to Qi Wu's house, Chen Qiyang, who had been waiting in the Star Picking Tower, saw her come back and immediately put down his pen and stepped forward.

Chen Chaoyan said 'um', "Have you had lunch?" ”

Chen Qiyang shook his head.

"Then let's stay and eat together." Chen Chaoyan followed Yuejian into the house to change his clothes and came out, watching him sit in the chair and move around, and seeing that she always wanted to talk and stop, guessed what he wanted to ask, so he sat next to him, and after two sips of tea, he said, "Ask whatever you want." ”

After Chen Qiyang stopped talking a few times, he couldn't help but say: "I heard Sister Banxia say, you and the prince, you and the prince are married?" ”

Chen Chaoyan didn't answer directly, but looked at him and asked, "You don't like the prince?" ”

Bai Shao and Tsukimi's eyes looked at them quietly.

Chen Qiyang didn't answer directly, but said, "Sister, you have just turned fourteen years old. ”

Chen Chaoyan raised one side of his eyebrows, "And then?" ”

"Children and daughters are ordered by their parents, and the words of the matchmaker are the ones who are married." Chen Qiyang plucked up his courage and said, "You and the prince have nothing, only a marriage letter." ”

She never had expectations for feelings. She never felt a sense of belonging here. She followed Xie Xuan's autopsy and case, just to rely on the big tree and live easily. Feng Shoudao proposed to let Feng Ergongzi marry her to keep her, and the reason why she was moved was because she could end the displacement. Although the marriage letter with Xie Xuan was caused by a temporary provocation, the reason why she accepted the marriage letter was no different from the reason why she wanted to agree to Feng Shoudao and Feng Ergongzi's marriage.

If you have to talk about the difference, that is, she wants to borrow Xie Xuan's identity to let him quickly become a talent and quickly support a lintel.

In a feudal society where imperial power is supreme, it is natural for men to be in charge. She was powerless to correct it, and she didn't bother to bother to do so.

These, naturally, are inconvenient with him.
