0903 Silver Vault

At this time, Zuo Liqiu seemed to suddenly think of it, and said happily: "Brother Liu, the things in the main hall are already so valuable, so isn't his silver treasury really like a sea of gold and silver? After a while, the vault will be opened, and you must take a look!"

Liu Haojia smiled, pointed to the things in the hall and said, "That's not necessarily! I bet that there will be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the Qiu He's bankhouse, but I'm afraid more of them are these things!"

Zuo Liqiu was surprised when he heard this, and said, "No, right?"

Looking at Zuo Liqiu's surprised gaze, Liu Haojia explained: "There is an old saying that only the three generations of officials know how to dress and eat! This Qiu He's family has been rich for several generations, and there is a salt business, which can be described as making money every day! So what's the use of him keeping so much silver in his house? The extra appearance is naturally used for enjoyment, and after enjoyment, you have to buy some antiques and antiques. After all, the longer you keep these things, the more valuable they are! What's more, the Qiu family has been extremely rich for several generations, so it is natural to pursue elegance, and naturally to buy more elegant things to set off their identity! Could it be that you think that the people of the Qiu family are like the old people in the countryside, and they are helpless to throw a few in the cellar!"

The helplessness in Liu Haojia's mouth is a kind of big silver ball specially created by rich people! The small ones weigh hundreds of pounds, and the big ones are thousands of pounds!

Due to the lack of investment channels in ancient times, many landlords and old wealthy families accumulated a large amount of silver and could not spend it, and they were worried about being stolen! So they simply asked a master craftsman to melt the silver into a huge ball and hide it in the cellar!

These silver balls are extremely heavy, and there is no grip, and the thief can only sigh when he comes! Even if a bandit broke through the house, the silver ball could not be moved in a hurry! The silver ball didn't even have a gripper, and it was so heavy that it was difficult to load and unload, and it couldn't be transported without special tools and carts! Maybe when I come home with the officers and soldiers to fight back, I'm afraid that I will still stay in the cellar helplessly!

The two of them were chatting casually, and a brocade-clothed guard outside stepped forward with a happy face and said, "My lord, I have found the Qiu family's treasury!"

Zuo Liqiu immediately became interested when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Go and see! Check it out!"

So the two of them came directly to the backyard under the guidance of Jinyiwei! There's a group of soldiers guarding the door of a humble warehouse! There was also a man dressed as a butler kneeling and shivering, and it seemed that he had pointed out where the vault was!

Liu Haojia directly commanded, "Open it and take a look, let us have a long insight!"

The lock had been opened before Liu Haojia came, but no one dared to move the door! Now that they have an order, and they also want to see it, they naturally hurry to open the door! But when the door was pulled, a brocade guard said "Huh", "My lord, this door is wrong! I'm afraid the outside of the iron gate is painted with wood-colored paint!"

After saying that, the brocade guard knocked on the door with his finger, and sure enough, it was not the movement of wood! There is even a good thing to scratch the door twice with a knife, only to hear the "squeak" twice and then reveal the color in it, sure enough, it is an iron door!

Liu Haojia looked at the house and was a little puzzled when he saw that the house was not big, and it didn't look like a silver vault. Now that I saw the iron gate, I felt that I had found the right place, so I said directly, "Did you ask it? What the hell is this vault made of?"

Jin Yiwei kicked the butler who was kneeling beside him and said, "If your lord asks you something, hurry up and reply!"

The butler said tremblingly, "If you go back to the official master, this silver vault is actually divided into two layers! The house above only keeps some loose silver for daily use, and the real silver vault is under the ground! As for this house and the silver vault below, they are all connected with steel plates, and molten iron is poured into the middle! Even the roof tiles are fake, and when you uncover them, you can see the steel plates!"

Hearing these words, not only Liu Haojia and Zuo Liqiu were amazed, but even those brocade guards were also shining in their eyes, and they were already thinking about what a mountain of gold and silver looked like in the silver vault!

At this time, the door had been opened, and everyone surrounded Liu Haojia and the two of them and stepped in! I saw that the room was full of shelves, and there were silver boxes on top of the shelves! In the middle of the ground is a large iron plate, which is supposed to be the gateway to the underground silver vault.

Liu Haojia raised his hand and pointed, and a brocade guard immediately stepped forward to open a silver box, revealing a thick layer of scattered silver inside! Seeing this, the butler said, "This row of shelves

It was all loose silver, and the rest of the month was to be cast into ingots and put on the shelf at the other end!"

Jin Yiwei opened the boxes on the other shelves, and sure enough, there were ingots in rows! Then I opened the other boxes according to the housekeeper's prompts, and sure enough, I saw a lot of gold ingots and other things! I can see that the mouths of the people are dry and their eyes are red!

When the surrounding boxes were inspected, everyone gathered around the iron plate in the middle of the ground. At this time, everyone realized that the steel plate embedded in the ground was actually in the shape of a gate. There are actually two knockers in the middle. Without Liu Haojia asking, a brocade guard asked the housekeeper, "Old guy, how do you open this door?"

The butler stepped forward and took off a hook with an iron chain from each side of the wall, and hooked the two hooks to the door knocker! Then without his command, there was already a brocade guard who had ordered the soldiers to go to the winch in the corner and shake it. The iron plate slowly opened like a gate, revealing a wide staircase! It looks like the real vault is down there!

Zuo Liqiu saw the depth of the downward corridor, and couldn't help but say to the butler, "Is there any news from the agency below? If we go and fire ten thousand arrows at once, won't they all die at your hands?"

Liu Haojia said with a smile when he heard this: "You have seen too much of this ordinary script! I'm afraid that this kind of bank has to go in some people every few days, what are you doing with so much agency news? Do you want to kill yourself?"

The butler nodded again and again and said, "That's right, that's right! This treasury needs to be used every day, and there is no mechanism at all!"

At this time, a soldier lit a torch and wanted to go down, but the butler touched the wall, and I don't know what mechanism was activated? There are lights in the corridor that are lit up one after another, illuminating the entire staircase! When everyone saw it, they praised the ingenuity!

After a brocade guard went down to inquire first, he shouted loudly below, "Two adults, there's nothing to do down there, you can come down!"

After receiving the news, Liu Haojia led Zuo Liqiu and others down the bank! After a long staircase, when he stood firm, he realized that the underground space was really not small! It's almost 200 steps square! The surrounding walls shone faintly under the illumination of the lights, and it seemed that the housekeeper was right, the walls around were all made of steel plates, and the thieves couldn't dig in even if they wanted to!
