Chapter 11 Daddy is really a good man
How much is 20,000 taels of silver?
In Lingzhou, you can buy thousands of acres of fertile land, buy dozens of shops, and be a rich man in the countryside with peace of mind, of course, provided that you have the ability to keep this money.
Even for a leading figure like Huang Qianhu, this is not a small amount that can be ignored.
But Chu Qianqiu was still not satisfied, so he returned to his long-lost home.
An ordinary-looking house, with only three bedrooms, a living room, and a hunchbacked old servant Feng Zhong waiting for him.
Except for the first day, when he returned home, he didn't care about coming back for the other two cycles.
Because he didn't want to have too much contact with the hunchbacked old servant, lest he be recognized as no longer the same person.
Judging from the experience of Huang Xiaoxiao and Huang Qianhu, this kind of caution is correct, and it is difficult for you to hide from people who are familiar with you and have carefully observed you.
This time, Chu Qianqiu came back to the house, naturally not to catch up with the hunchbacked old servant, but to find the possible property of the Chu family.
Yes, now Chu Qianqiu is becoming more and more sure that his father must have helped Huang Qianhu work, and he has obtained rich benefits from it.
Although Huang Qianhu and Father Chu have a sincere friendship, they can be united so closely, and the two sides must have a very deep combination of interests.
Otherwise, how could Father Chu be a great benevolent person over there in Fahua Temple?
If you don't have money, what are you doing?
So there must be a lot of money hidden in the house.
Gotta find out.
If there are any property deeds, land deeds, find them all.
A handful of studs are clean.
If Chu's father knows that his unfilial son wants to sell his property, he will be angry again.
"Young master, you're back, why don't you say a word, the old slave has already prepared a meal."
"It's all the young master's favorite food."
"Pine cakes, braised pork and chop noodles."
"The old slave will take it immediately."
As soon as Chu Qianqiu returned home, he met a hunchbacked old servant, and he also knew from the mouth of Tie Qianshan of the Six Doors that this old servant was called Feng Zhong.
Chu Qianqiu was very afraid to see him.
It's not just that the hunchbacked old servant's face is a little hateful, full of scars, as if someone has slashed his face, and the insect-sized scar looks extremely horrible.
It is also because of the intimate relationship between the two parties, if a sentence is wrong and there are doubts, it will be very bad.
During the first cycle, Chu Qianqiu didn't eat the food he cooked, and he wouldn't want to eat it this time.
Chu Qianqiu's face tightened, and he said slowly:
"I can't eat it."
"I want to see my father's relics, let me be alone for a while."
Chu Qianqiu quickly walked to his parents' bedroom and locked the door.
"Young master, let's eat a little bit."
"It's all your favorite food, pine cakes, braised pork, and choppy noodles."
"You've had a hard day today, and you've lost weight, how can you have strength if you don't eat."
The hunchbacked old servant bowed his head and pleaded bitterly.
But Chu Qianqiu's heart was like an iron stone, and he said that if he didn't eat it, he would definitely not eat it.
He sat in the bedroom, quietly waiting for the hunchbacked old servant to sigh, and returned to the living room to clean the environment, and Chu Qianqiu finally began to rummage through the cabinets.
Chu's father and mother's bedroom seemed very clean, except for a bed, a dresser, a wardrobe, and a storage box, there was nothing else.
Chu Qianqiu handled it gently, for fear of attracting attention.
First, I looked under the bed, but found nothing.
After that, the wardrobe was opened, and there were only a few pieces of old clothes.
When I opened the dresser, I didn't even have a piece of valuable jewelry.
As for the inside of that storage box, it was so clean that it couldn't even feed a mouse.
It shouldn't be.
The Chu family should be very rich, but like some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they hide their money very deeply to make it easier to pretend to be poor.
An official who rides a bicycle to work and nibbles vegetables every day may be a billionaire behind him.
Therefore, the conventional channels are not found, that is, there is a hidden grid, or it is hidden in the mezzanine.
Chu Qianqiu is a patient person, gently knocking on the wall in the room, normally there will be gaps in the places that are used as dark grids, and the sound will not be quite the same.
And according to the human mind, they prefer to put their treasures in a place where the door can cover them, or hide them behind the wardrobe, under the dresser, and so on.
This time the Chu family did not disappoint him, and behind the dresser, he saw exciting news.
One brick protrudes slightly.
He held the brick with both hands and gently pulled it out, but the expected mezzanine did not appear, and there was nothing inside.
But Chu Qianqiu smiled, this kind of trick can only deceive ordinary thieves, but it can't deceive himself.
Because of the weight of this brick, it is slightly lighter.
He smashed the outer layer of the brick with great force, and sure enough, there was a hole in the brick and stone, and there was a silver ticket hidden.
The same silver ticket of the Shenlong Silver Number is as much as 5,000 taels.
But what happened next made Chu Qianqiu change color too.
One, two, three, four......
In the bedroom of Chu's father and mother alone, six stone bricks with silver tickets were found.
A total of 30,000 taels of silver.
If it is according to the military salary of the imperial court, the rated salary of a hundred households is 5 taels of silver per month, which is equivalent to 60 taels of silver in a year.
When the gray income is not calculated, this income can support the family and maintain the basic training needs, and then it will be gone.
How did Daddy save a huge sum of 30,000 taels for a hundred households?
Even a wealthy businessman like Xiao Changfeng would feel difficult to take out 20,000 taels of silver, let alone a hundred households.
It seems normal for the people of the Six Doors to investigate themselves.
The difference between Chu Baihu and Huang Qianhu may be that one pays attention to wealth and does not reveal it, and the other pays attention to spending money and making profits, in the final analysis, it is indeed a family.
However, the money stayed, which was convenient for himself.
Chu Qianqiu cleaned up the broken bricks and stones, restored the room to its original state, and sat on the bed to recuperate with a silver ticket of 50,000 taels in his arms.
At this time, it was getting late, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the whole world seemed to be left alone.
Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Chu Qianqiu inexplicably felt homesick, but his heart gradually calmed down.
Tomorrow morning, it will be another dangerous juncture.
So far, he didn't dare to go to the martial arts hall at noon, so that everyone could be killed without sending a rescue message, and the strength of these mysterious masters can be imagined.
When I step into the innate, I must investigate the ins and outs of the murder case and seek justice for my classmates.
Thinking of this, Chu Qianqiu began to look inward, relax his body, and accumulate true qi, but the sucking worm that was anesthetized by the painkiller pill also began to move.
The effect of the medicine has passed, and it has regained its free body.
Whoop.
Delicious!
The worm happily swam to the dantian and ate the wisp of true qi that had accumulated directly.
The pain hormone came as expected.
Chu Qianqiu's internal breath was directly interrupted.
Because it hurts so much.
I didn't expect that the real worm could make people so miserable just by eating a few wisps of true qi.
I really don't know who can train the "Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformation Battle Body".
Chu Qianqiu opened his eyes sweating profusely, crying and laughing, it seemed that he had not taken the Suhexiang pill, and he had decided not to cultivate.
Let's relax.
Wait, there seems to be someone outside the door.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the moment he opened his eyes, Chu Qianqiu seemed to see a long shadow.
"Young Master, Young Master, are you asleep?"
Whew, it's the hunchbacked old servant Feng Zhong.
"If you are hungry, young master, call the old slave, and the old slave will give you a hot meal."
"I'm provincial."
In the silent moonlight, Chu Qianqiu replied softly, and the hunchbacked old servant staggered back and walked to his room.
Wait, the first cycle.
Feng Zhong did not deliver food on the big night.
It's more like he found out and asked
Could it be that there are ghosts here?
