The secret room was actually hidden under a pile of viewing stones.
The rockery above seems heavy, but in fact it is equipped with a shaft and wheel mechanism. With just a slight push, the passage below is revealed.
It was really good luck to find this darkroom.
According to the soldier, he was in urgent need of urination and couldn't find the latrine, so he decided to settle it here.
As a result, it was too dark, so I tripped over a stone and stumbled onto the rockery.
With this pounce, he actually pushed the rockery weighing several kilograms, and he immediately understood that there must be something strange in it.
"Remember you!"
Han Zhen patted the soldier on the shoulder and entered the entrance with a torch.
The entryway was a short flight of stairs sloping down, and the surrounding walls were covered in a thick layer of plaster.
Before taking two steps, a large door appeared in view, with a copper lock hanging on the door.
"Zhang He!"
Han Zhen shouted.
Zhang He's voice immediately came from above: "My subordinate is here!"
Han Zhen ordered: "Go and search the mistress of the Xu family for the key."
"Got the order!"
After a while, Zhang He came back.
Following the entrance into the passage, he handed over a key and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Village chief, how did you know that the key is with the mistress of the Xu family?"
"Such an important item must be stored close to your body."
Han Zhen explained casually and took the key to open the copper lock.
When you open the door, you will see rows of bookshelves made of maroon wood.
It's just that the bookshelves are not filled with books, but exquisite wooden boxes.
The secret room is not large, but there is no doubt that the value of the things stored in it is far greater than that of the warehouse above.
In addition, there was something else that caught Han Zhen's attention.
That's a horse-stem.
I don't know what kind of quenching process was used to make the horse's body completely black, and its sharp eight-sided armor-piercing ribs reflected bursts of cold light under the firelight.
Stepping forward, Han Zhen grabbed Ma Shan.
Feeling the heavy weight in his hands, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The gun body of the horse gun is usually made of wood, but the weight of this horse gun is obviously wrong. The whole body is made of steel and weighs seventy or eighty kilograms.
It's an unexpected surprise. With this horse spear, the simple sword with a curled blade can finally be retired.
Holding the horse and waving it casually, Han Zhen liked it more and more.
After admiring it, he opened the wooden boxes one by one and inspected them.
Pearls, agate, tortoiseshell, jade, silver collar, gold beads...
After some rough calculation, the treasures in this house amounted to at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
Including the copper coins and silks in the warehouse, as well as shops in various places and a large amount of land, the Xu family's family fortune is close to 60,000 yuan.
In "Water Margin", Wu Song only killed a tiger, and the county government rewarded him with a thousand guan. Yang Zhi sold knives and asked for three thousand guans... After the conquest of Fang La, Song Huizong even rewarded Wu Song with 100,000 guans.
It gives people the illusion that a thousand strings are not much.
But a novel is a novel after all and should not be taken as true.
You know, the best steel in the Song Dynasty was the iron produced as tribute from the Western Regions.
At this moment, iron and iron are strategic materials at the same level as gold and silver.
Even so, a knife forged from iron is only worth a hundred dollars.
Nowadays, a piece of cooking cake costs 7 Wen, and a stone of rice costs 2,800 Wen.
Grains are cheaper. If all the 60,000 guan are replaced by grains, it will be enough to feed an army of 100,000 people for two months.
In a good mood, Han Zhen ordered: "Tell the brothers to move all the things here and distribute them uniformly when you return. Anyone who hides them privately will be dealt with according to military law."
"Got the order!"
Zhang He said hello, and a few more soldiers immediately came down and began to move things outside.
Although the secret room was valuable, it was not much, and more than twenty soldiers emptied it out in a short time.
Only three of the six ox carts were loaded. Seeing that there were still three empty carts, Han Zhen asked the soldiers to carry the copper coins and silk and satin from the warehouse.
When the six ox carts were completely full, there were still thousands of copper coins and hundreds of bolts of silk and satin left in the warehouse.
"Walk!"
Han Zhen waved his hand.
Hearing this, a soldier looked at the warehouse and said with a sad face: "Village Chief, there is still so much money that has not been moved out!"
Seeing that there is still so much money that cannot be taken away is simply worse than killing him.
Zhang He on the side hesitated for a moment and suggested: "Village chief, why don't we run a few more times so that we are not afraid of getting tired."
Han Zhen laughed angrily at these words, "How come, each and every one of them regards the county as their own home? Come and leave whenever they want?"
Hearing the anger in his tone, the soldiers couldn't help but tremble.
At Zhang He's urging, these soldiers turned around and left the Xu family's residence.
…
…
County government.
It was late at night, but the main hall of the county government office was brightly lit.
Chang Zhixian was wearing cyan uniforms and a right-angled futou on his head, sitting upright on the Taishi chair.
At the bottom, Liu Yong crossed his waist with one hand and held the sword on his waist with the other hand, standing there quietly like a door god.
Faintly, waves of shouts of killing blew into the main hall along the night wind.
Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip of hot tea, Chang Zhixian discovered for the first time that the cry of killing could be so sweet.
The Xu family has the richest family fortune, so I expect that Han Er will have a good time plundering it.
However, Changzhi County doesn't care.
At worst, he would take away some frivolous wealth, but those shops and properties would eventually fall into his hands.
Coupled with the property of the Zheng family and the Wu family, he will earn tens of thousands of dollars this time.
Tens of thousands of dollars!
I think back to those days when I went to Beijing to take the exam and became a Jinshi in high school. I was very high-spirited.
I wanted to go to Fanlou with some fellow villagers to celebrate, but unexpectedly I wanted to climb to the second floor, but because I was short of money, I was ridiculed and turned into a disgrace.
When I return to Tokyo, I will definitely go to the third floor of Fan Tower to taste the white pear flowers and taste the green dragon and phoenix.
Thinking of this, Changzhi County could not help but sing softly: "A rich family does not need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of bells of millet in the book. There is no need to build a high hall to live in peace, there is a golden house in the book... A man wants to fulfill his life's ambition, and the six classics are diligently facing the window read."
Emperor Zhenzong, sincerely do not deceive me!
After a while, the shouts of death outside the county government office stopped.
Chang Zhixian put down his tea cup, dusted his sleeves, stood up and said, "I think it's almost over, it's time for this county to take action."
"Sir, I suggest you wait a little longer to prevent the rest of Xiaoxiao from causing trouble." Liu Yong on the side quickly dissuaded him.
The implication is: I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet.
Hearing this, Chang Zhixian paused for a moment, then sat back down again: "That's all, I think of your loyalty and courage, so I'll just wait a little longer."
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, just when Changzhi County was getting impatient, a figure hurriedly walked into the main hall.
Liu Yong took a step forward and asked, "How's it going?"
"Reporting to the county magistrate, all the finishing touches have been taken care of, and a lot of loose money has been transported to the warehouse."
This man was wearing black clothes and a pair of official boots, and his tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Tonight, not only Changzhi County is full.
These little shrimps were also full of meat, and everyone gained a lot.
Changzhi County knows this very well.
However, he didn't point it out and didn't give any sweeteners. How could he make these people work hard, and how could he seal their mouths?
"You have worked hard, and the reward you have been waiting for is inevitable."
Chang Zhixian smiled and comforted him, then stood up and said, "Liu Yong, please follow this county to appease the people."
"yes!"
Liu Yong responded with cupped hands.
Soon, torches were lit in the county government office.
Changzhixian, surrounded by hundreds of archers, walked toward the Xu family's residence.
The group was large and powerful.
This movement immediately attracted the attention of many residents in the county.
Taking this opportunity, Liu Yong shouted loudly: "Fearless fellow villagers, the thieves have been beaten away by the magistrate's troops."
As soon as the words fell, residents on both sides of the street secretly raised their windows. They were relieved to see the fully armed archers and the leader Chang Zhixian.
Some of the bold ones stuck their heads out and asked, "Liu Dutou, what happened?"
Liu Yong replied: "The bandit Shibao from Songshanling led the bandits into the county at night and robbed the Xu family, the Zheng family and the Wu family."
It didn’t take long for the news to be known to all the people in the county, as if it had wings.
