It wasn't until he heard Shen Feng's roar in front that Xiao Anshan, who was still standing there, came to his senses, turned his head to look at Shen Feng who was walking in front, sighed deeply, and then followed with a depressed face.

Crossing the cyclamen bridge and entering the second courtyard, the two walked one after the other like an awkward couple. In addition to the east and west guest rooms on both sides of the road, the most important thing in the second courtyard is the two grain depots on the east and west sides. At this time, Shen Feng couldn't help but think of the treasury dilemma told by Shopkeeper Zhao during the day. I don't understand why even a rich country man like the Xiao family can have so much grain, while the imperial treasury is empty, forcing the emperor to make an order to maintain the border war by selling officials. This makes him feel a bit like the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the country is rich and the people, and the family background of any character can be rich and rival the country, and finally the entire empire is abolished.

"Lao Mu, your family has so much food, don't you have to pay it to the empire? It seems that Mengyue Country is quite short of food?" Shen Feng asked curiously.

"Well, it seems to be lacking, no, what do you call me? I'll say it again, my surname is Xiao Anshan, don't always be old and old!" Xiao Anshan was halfway through his words, and then he tangled up with Shen Feng's title, and protested dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, I remembered Lao Mu! since there is such a shortage of food, why doesn't the empire levy it from you?" Shen Feng continued to ask.

"Hmph, what does the lack of food in the empire have to do with us? We have collected all this grain from our own tenants, not his imperial land. Xiao Anshan looked at Shen Feng with disdain, looking like you didn't even know this.

"Then there was no forced expropriation?"

"Who would dare to do this? The people who have the most land are the ministers of the court, and even if the emperor wants to expropriate, will he dare? As long as he dares to come up with this idea, then his throne will not last long. ”

"As the saying goes, if the family is defeated, there will always be demons and monsters. The family is like this, and so is the empire, and it seems that the problems of the Mengyue Kingdom itself are really not small. Shen Feng was completely defeated by Xiao Anshan's natural tone and the kind of psychology that cares about my. He looked at the grain depots on the east and west sides, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Where is your silver vault hidden?" Since the entire empire is like this, it is not something that Shen Feng can worry about, not to mention that he has not become an official yet, even if he does, what can he do, not to mention that as Xiao Anshan said, "It's my business"?

"It's just ahead!"

Shen Feng followed behind Xiao Anshan, looking at the looted courtyard all the way, thinking about what to do afterwards. Unconsciously, I came to the back cover room behind the Sanjin Courtyard.

"This is where the ladies live, turn left from here and find the fourth room. Xiao Anshan pointed to a urinal door in the west and said.

"It's really unexpected!" Shen Feng couldn't help but sigh at Xiao Anshan's shrewdness, no one could have imagined that the silver vault would actually enter from the lady's house.

When I entered the fourth room, it was dark.

"You reach out and touch the wall behind the door, and there is a space in it with an oil lamp and a fire sickle. Xiao Anshan's hands and feet were tied, so he had to let Shen Feng do it.

Shen Feng touched it as he said, and sure enough, he found an oil lamp the size of a teacup and a small fire sickle, which seemed to have been placed here by Xiao Anshan himself before. With flying sparks, small lighted oil lamps illuminated the entire room.

I saw that there was a huge Nanmu hanging flower pillar type stepping bed inside, the place where the eaves and horizontal eyebrows were all carved with figures, and the fence of the front door and the surrounding baffle also had the ornamental carving of flowers and leaves, and the whole bed was full of simple and elegant, beautiful and delicate aura. However, at this time, a pillar at the door was broken by someone, and the whole bed was also very messy, obviously not avoiding the fate of being looted.

With the light of the oil lamp, Xiao Anshan walked straight to the wall on the west side of the bed, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground to face Shen Feng and said, "Lift this brick, there is a ring inside, just pull it up." ”

"It's really troublesome!" Shen Feng pursed his lips, then put down the oil lamp and did as Xiao Anshan instructed.

When he lifted the ring, he saw that a part of the neat back wall was slowly protruding, and then a narrow door was revealed.

"Go in with an oil lamp, and plug in the door from the inside, just in case!" Xiao Anshan said again.

After Shen Feng was busy, he followed behind Xiao Anshan and slowly descended along a slightly steep path.

After two turns, Xiao Anshan stopped in front of an iron gate.

"Do you see the words on the door? Okay, let's get started, shock, leave, exchange, and kan. Xiao Anshan said with a serious face at this time.

As Shen Feng pressed the last kanzi, the iron door slowly opened.

"I said you're stupid, you're still not convinced, whose password lock is just set up in the south, south, and northwest, and it's over? Who is this fooling? Even if you register a vertical and horizontal account, you have to have at least a letter and a number or something, and the brainless password like you is so direct can only be imagined by a person like you whose head is squeezed by the door. When Shen Feng saw the door open, he couldn't help but pout, and ridiculed the brain-dead code set by Xiao Anshan.

"It's just that you don't know what you said, I don't know what letters and numbers you are talking about, but this door was cast by a senior craftsman I invited from the imperial capital at a great cost, and there are not many people in the world who can open it. Xiao Anshan saw that Shen Feng belittled himself so much, of course he was not convinced, and directly opened his mouth to defend himself.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to talk to someone with an IQ like you, I'm really worried that you're going to bring my IQ to an all-time low. Do the right thing, do the right thing. Shen Feng saw him refute and immediately waved his hand and said.

"You, hum!" Xiao Anshan looked at Shen Feng's impatient look, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved for a while, feeling that his entire heart had been greatly hurt. However, he was really a little jealous of Shen Feng's broken mouth that should have been torn apart directly, and there were almost no good words coming out of his mouth. Therefore, he could only glare at Shen Feng fiercely, and then said nothing more.

When you enter the door, the first thing you see is a rockery made up of five or six stones, each about the size of a basket. However, Shen Feng was not interested in these, he looked around, but did not find the chest containing gold and silver jewelry and the ornaments of gold, silver and jade, so he asked.

"Hasn't it arrived yet?

"This time, you should admit that you are a turtle who has never seen the world, right?" Xiao Anshan seemed to grasp Shen Feng's weakness at once, and said with a smile.

"What, do you still want to play tricks?" Shen Feng asked vigilantly.

"Turtle, isn't the silver right in front of you? What are you looking for?"

Shen Feng looked around again, but still didn't find anything, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "What are you doing?"

"Isn't it all here?" Xiao Anshan said with a smug face, patting the rockery with his hand.

"What, this is not a stone?" This time it was Shen Feng's turn to be surprised, he really didn't expect Xiao Anshan to pile up a rockery with silver, and also painted it with the same color as a stone to camouflage.

He hurriedly reached out and touched the ground one by one to verify the authenticity, and it was really silver.

"Good guy, why did you make the silver so big?It seems that your brain is ......" Before Shen Feng finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Xiao Anshan.

"My brain is better than yours, don't talk about it, little turtle, which family do you see will leave the silver scattered and not cast into a silver mountain? Even if the thief finds here, in the face of such a heavy thing, he can only return in vain, understand?

"Tsk, so all your ingenuity was spent on it, but it's a good idea. After listening to Xiao Anshan's explanation, Shen Feng had to admit that the other party's method was indeed very good. In this way, the petty thief really can't take it, after all, it is impossible to drive the carriage and carry it up piece by piece with coolies when he is a thief.
