After a lot of effort, I was sure of one thing, that is, there was no underground palace under the tower at all, so I focused my search on the inside of the ancient tower.
The result can be imagined. Not to mention official silver, I didn't even see a single hair.
After working hard for two days with no results, the morale of Li Xiangling and his men was obviously hit. I knew that if this continued, these people might not listen to my command.
Brother Yu also advised me: "Forget it Yunfeng, if there really is a treasure, we would have found it long ago."
After hearing what Brother Yu said, I wanted to give up, but an intuition told me that there was definitely something! It's just that it's hidden somewhere and hasn't been discovered yet.
I won't give up! So I ran to Fude Village and found the old man.
As soon as we met, the old man seemed to notice my situation. He smiled and said, "How's it going, young man? Have you found any money?"
"Uncle, I'm asking you something. Does the Fang family have an ancestral home? Are there any descendants of the Fang family still alive?"
"Of course, Mr. Jinshi's descendants are flourishing. The Fang family's old house is in Changqing Village, about twenty miles away from here. You can go and see it when you have time."
Thanks to the old man, I asked around and found Changqing Village.
The terrain of Changqing Village is high, otherwise it would have been flooded back then. At the same time, it is one of the few villages in the old Chun'an style that has been completely preserved. Walking in the village, you can see moss-covered bluestones and ancient buildings everywhere, and many old houses can be seen at a glance. It looks like the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
After asking around in the village, I found the ancestral home of the Fang family.
The door of this ancestral house is closed, and it is not small in scale. The exquisite hollow carvings preserved above the door seem to tell people passing by how prosperous this ancestral house was back then.
There seemed to be no one living in the ancestral house, but there was an old locust tree next to it. While everyone in the village was resting at noon, I climbed up the tree, climbed over the newly built wall, and finally jumped into the courtyard.
The entire old house still retains its original appearance. There is a thick layer of fallen leaves in the courtyard, and every room has a lock. I walked around the courtyard, then picked the lock and climbed into the main house.
There are many 180-year-old solid wood furniture in the house, including dusty Eight Immortals tables, desks, and armchairs. I was surprised that these valuable old furniture were not stolen, and the main place I searched was the room. Beam, door head, by the way, check whether there is a mezzanine in the wall.
I was flipping vigorously when suddenly there were footsteps outside the door. I was so frightened that I instantly hid under the bill.
"Who's here! Come out!"
"I saw you! If you don't come out, I'll call the police!"
"Don't call the police!"
I immediately crawled out from under the bill.
"Who are you! What do you want to do by breaking open the door of our ancestral house in the village!"
This was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was holding a stick in his hand and asked eagerly who I was.
I immediately explained: "Brother, please don't do anything! You misunderstood! I just saw a thief climbing over the wall and coming in! That's why I followed him in to catch the thief!"
"Nonsense! Take me for a fool! You are a thief who steals things!"
I raised my hand and said loudly: "Brother, take a good look at me, my temperament! My appearance! Do I look like a thief?"
"Like! Fuck you!"
He hit me hard on the head with the stick.
I dodged sideways, but he chased me with a stick and beat me hard, shouting: "Catch the thief! Someone come and catch the thief!"
In desperation, I glided over in eight steps, grabbed his stick and knocked him down with one kick.
"I said it was all a misunderstanding! I'm not a thief! How can you trust me!"
"That's it! I'll give you money! Have you ever seen a thief who gave you money instead of stealing something?
