Chapter 34 Fascinating Gold

"Is the ground hard?"

Wen Lingxiao stepped on it a few more times, and it was easy to dig the hole.

The man who opened the door took a look and stamped the ground under his feet curiously. It made a loud banging sound, not to mention how hard it was.

Wen Lingxiao still didn't believe this evil, and he stepped on it a few more times and it was still the same. Could it be that the ground in the palace was harder than that in the general's palace?

Do you hate the poor and love the rich in this muddy land?

"Give me the shovel."

He took the shovel he was handed and started shoveling. The ground was like sand and it was extremely easy to shovel.

Seeing the red light above his head, Wen Mianmian stepped forward happily and said, "Brother, if you work hard, there is a treasure down there, right?"

"It's not like this house used to be owned by some corrupt official. What if a treasure was buried in it?"

Wen Lingxiao didn't even raise his head, "When my house was ransacked, it was said that I dug three feet into the ground. What was left?"

As I said this, I felt a little excited in my heart. What if... it really happened?

Hua Jingyun, who didn't know when he came over, said quietly, "There is still a pile of sand."

Wen Lingxiao rolled his eyes. Didn't the news he heard say that the bastard had a cold temperament?

Are deserted people still joking?

What kind of joke is this? It’s not funny at all!

Wen Mianmian couldn't stop laughing. Just when Wen Lingxiao was busy working for a long time and was about to give up, the shovel seemed to hit something hard, and then the surrounding soil tended to collapse.

When he met Hua Jingyun's eyes, he looked in disbelief. There was really something down there?!

Hua Jingyun took two steps back without leaving a trace, observed carefully for a while, walked around the deserted yard, and then returned to the next door through the unrenovated doorway. He came back after a while and said, "Let's dig."

Wen Lingxiao looked at the big hole dug, gritted his teeth, and said, "Dig."

Hua Jingyun turned around and ordered, "Put down what you are doing and come over to help."

The two people who came to change the door were Hua Jingyun's confidants and were absolutely reliable. The two of them stepped forward and were busy for a while. As the hole got bigger and bigger, a person standing in the hole suddenly fell down, and the sand around him

It fell down, and a big black hole appeared in front of several people.

"Throw a torch down."

There were sounds from below, and several people breathed a sigh of relief. Some people turned around and ran back, and soon they came with torches.

Wen Mianmian stood aside and clicked her tongue. She really couldn't stop her luck. There must be a treasure down there. Her brother was lucky.

Soon the man below climbed up, with an excited look on his face, "Your Majesty, there is a dark room down there, and everything in it is filled with gold."

Wen Lingxiao's breathing became heavier and he quickly asked: "How big is it down there?"

"It's not too big, but it extends to the yard opposite."

In this way, both Wen Lingxiao and Hua Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief. The result was an equal split.

"Go down and have a look."

Wen Mianmian raised his hand, "I'll let the wind blow out from above."

She also wanted to see it, but she was a little scared of her big black hole. It would be troublesome for her to go up and down by herself, so she might as well just sit there and wait to see what was ready.

Hua Jingyun ordered people to go back to the opposite side and lock the courtyard door. Upon hearing this, Wen Mianmian quickly turned around and locked the courtyard door behind so that no one from both sides could come in.

Several people jumped down the black hole, and several torches illuminated the inside. The place that had been airtight for decades was filled with a strong earthy and musty smell. Several people covered their mouths and noses with sweat towels, and slowly walked towards it.

The large boxes were half covered by falling sediment.

"Even if we don't discover it today, it won't be long before this place collapses."

The supporting wooden pillars in the corners have long since rotted away, and I don't know if the wooden box will last long enough to be carried out.

The lid of the big box was opened, and the neatly arranged gold ingots dazzled everyone's eyes. Even though they had been buried for a long time and became dim, they were still fascinating.

Wen Lingxiao's heart was filled with excitement. He had determined that each of the two houses owned almost half of the secret room. If he had discovered it secretly, he would have taken the gold for himself without hesitation. What a pity.

"Carry them all up."

The two people who came to change the door stepped forward and pulled up the ears of the box. They broke it with a 'snap' sound. Hua Jingyun looked back and said, "Brother, please find a few more people."

Wen Lingxiao also nodded. It would be difficult for just the few of them to come up with all of this.

Knowing that the treasure was dug up in the mansion, Wang Qing, the chief steward of the general's mansion, quickly came with his people. Wang Qing was once Wen Mian's counselor. He had been with the army for many years, but he was too injured to continue on the battlefield, so he retired and became a housekeeper. He was very fond of Wen Mian.

Loyal, Wen Lingxiao is relieved.

With more people and greater strength, it didn't take long for the boxes to be transported out. After carefully checking that there were no omissions, they ordered people to start sealing the secret room. If there was not enough, the two houses could make up for it.

After counting, the gold totaled 20,000 taels. According to the current exchange rate of gold and silver, the total amount of silver was 120,000 taels. If divided equally, we could get 60,000 taels.

Hua Jingyun took an ingot of gold ingot and looked at it carefully, and said: "These golds have marks on them and are dim in color. They need to be melted and remade."

Wen Lingxiao also noticed this and looked at Hua Jingyun, "Do you have any idea?"

Hua Jingyun nodded, "It will take about half a month to complete."

In this way, all the gold was given to Hua Jingyun, and Wen Lingxiao asked people to deal with the aftermath. It was not until the modified door was covered up that the two sides dispersed.

On the way, Wen Mianmian smiled at Wen Lingxiao as if asking for credit and said, "How about this, does this fairy have boundless power?"

Wen Lingxiao smiled and nodded seriously, "Xiangu's shit luck is really good, she got it right."

That's twenty thousand taels of gold, for nothing!

Who would have thought that a fish could still escape the net in a place that was once dug three feet deep?

With this amount of money, the pressure in the government was greatly reduced.

Wen Mianmian walked ahead triumphantly, and when she reached the door of Caiyun Residence, she waved her hand, "I am going to have a rest."

Wen Lingxiao bowed his hands and said jokingly: "Xiangu has used up too much mana today, so take a rest earlier."

"Hahaha~~~"

A soft and ringing laugh rang out, and several girls including Lingguo Lingcao from the courtyard rushed out to greet her, followed her into the house to wash up and go to sleep.

Hua Jingyun, who returned to Jinyuan, stood under the moonlight with his hands folded, looking a little dazed.

How long has it been since he learned that he was chosen to celebrate? He has gone from anger to indifference to now 'feeling pretty good'. He didn't expect that his ability to accept was so strong.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, with a touch of sarcasm. He always thought that he was cold and indifferent, but he was not?!

It seems that I still don’t understand myself thoroughly enough.

Qingfeng hesitated for a long time before stepping forward to interrupt his 'self-doubt' and said: "Your Majesty, the second prince sent a greeting card today, stating that he will visit you tomorrow morning."

Hua Jingyun tilted his head, his face regained its calm look, "I understand."

His second emperor brother has been showing goodwill to him in every aspect recently.
