Song Jue stood at the door of Chi Mansion's cellar and looked inside curiously.

Basically everyone disagreed with Shen Cha's statement. Even Shen Haolin raised questions. To be able to build a cellar with gold bricks, Chi Er must be so crazy and deceived many people.

Therefore, in line with the principle of hearing is believing and seeing is believing, everyone decided to go to Chi Mansion to see for themselves whether it was what Shen Cha said.

Unlike the cellars of other mansions, the cellar of Chi Mansion was very large. Song Jue, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Song Qiyun, and Bai Meng entered together with ten shadows, but they still seemed empty.

"Well..." Song Jue and Song Qiyun stood by one of the walls. They reached out and knocked on the wall at the same time, making a sound that was completely different from ordinary walls. Song Qiyun frowned slightly, "I have entered this cellar before, and I didn't seem to notice it. What’s different, but the sound is indeed different from a normal wall, isn’t it?”

"It seems so." Song Jue nodded, "The sound sounds a bit crisp. If it were an ordinary brick wall, the sound would be muffled."

"You know a lot!"

Song Qiyun was teasing his brother, and like Bai Meng, he took out a dagger from his boot and scraped it hard on the wall. After scraping off a layer of skin on the surface, a little bit of other colors were revealed inside. He took a closer look, then stretched out his hand to touch it, looking at Song Jue beside him with a surprised look on his face. He had no idea that Shen Cha was really right.

"Is it gold?" Song Jue reached out and touched it, feeling the coldness on his fingertips. He sighed softly, took the dagger in Song Qiyun's hand, scraped it hard on other parts of the wall a few times, and saw inside Showing a light golden color, he sneered and turned to look at Shen Cha who had been standing at the door, "Xiao Cha is really right, it is indeed gold bricks, but such a large cellar is all made of gold bricks... …”

"It's exceeded the value we estimated. Chi Er... or other members of the Chi family may not be able to reach this level just based on the surface or the money earned from Chi Er's private salt and iron business. ." Shen Haolin also scraped a few pieces, and as expected they were all gold bricks. "In addition to these channels we know, they should have other businesses, but they have not been exposed."

"Maybe the Chi family's position in the Tantai family... well, no, the position with Mrs. Teng is much more important than we thought. Maybe..." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin and then at Song Jue, " They are the main source of Mrs. Teng’s accumulated wealth. In other words, the Chi family is Mrs. Teng’s small treasury, the kind that no one knows except Mrs. Teng herself.”

"This is also an important reason why Chi Hong can be unscrupulous in front of Mrs. Teng." Song Jue agreed with Shen Cha's words, "The old man Qian who was caught by you and the people in the Yu family have said that the people around Mrs. Teng are very unscrupulous to Chi Hong." Very dissatisfied, but Mrs. Teng never took such remarks to heart and adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Chi Hong. She did this just because of the deep love between sister and brother? "

"The deep love between brother and sister is one thing, the most important thing is the entanglement of interests." Shen Haolin nodded, "They have been separated for so many years. It is really not certain how much affection they have. But when I find my brother, it is Mrs. Teng She had a heart problem, and it gradually evolved into an obsession. After the heart problem and obsession were resolved, she found that her brother and the family who adopted him were very valuable. This value far exceeded her expectations. She had other thoughts, using her younger brother and the family that adopted him to achieve her dream wish." He reached out and knocked on the wall of the cellar, "This cellar and these golds are the embodiment of the value of the Chi family."

"Without these things, even if he is a biological brother, Mrs. Teng will not let him be so arrogant." Shen Cha followed Shen Haolin's words and waved to several others, "Let the brothers demolish this place. See how much gold there is, and see how much Chi Hong or the Chi family is worth to Mrs. Teng."

To demolish such a large cellar, just a few shadows are not enough. Bai Meng specially transferred a hundred people from the Forbidden Army, and also found a few craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to guide them, so as not to demolish the cellar. The entire mansion was destroyed.

These people worked for four hours, until it was getting dark, and they finished eating the entire cellar. However, to their surprise, the amount of gold was not as much as they imagined. When the entire cellar was dismantled, half of it was gold. Real wall tiles, the other half is real gold. The gold stacked together looks very spectacular.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh that Mr. Chi could accumulate such a large amount of wealth in such a short period of time. His ability to make money was really extraordinary. I am afraid that many people in Xijing City have been deceived by him.

As for why half of the cellar is made of real wall bricks, several craftsmen from the Ministry of Works briefly explained to everyone that the texture of gold is relatively soft. If all of it is built with gold, the cellar will easily collapse and it will not collapse at all. May be preserved until now. Moreover, the craftsmen also said that this cellar should be newly built and should not be more than half a year old.

"Not more than half a year? So, Mr. Chi Er started to prepare for his escape half a year ago? Part of it was transformed into the one million banknote, which is currently in the hands of someone, and the other part was transformed into Get the gold and use this cellar as a cover."

"It seems that's what it is." Bai Meng nodded, "But there is still a problem."

"That's right." Shen Cha clapped her hands gently, "What happened to the Chi family half a year ago made them exchange all their properties for these so quickly." She looked at Song Jue and then at Bai Meng, " Was there anything unusual about the Chi family at that time?"

"Abnormal?" Song Jue thought for a while, "I seem to remember..." He looked at Bai Meng and asked a little uncertainly, "Is Chi Ge old and sick? And it was very serious. Several imperial doctors were sent to the imperial hospital. , were you finally rescued?"

"Yes!" Bai Meng nodded, "If there is something abnormal or something big happened in their family, it is this. Because Chi Ge was seriously ill, Chi Hong rushed back from other places. When he came back, the Chi family They have already started preparing for the funeral." He frowned slightly, "So, Chi Ge's serious illness was almost the same time as Chi Er's sale of his shop..." He looked at everyone, "It seems they The plan is that if Chige Lao can't stand it anymore, they can take the gold and go to Yancheng to seek refuge with Mrs. Teng."

"This is possible. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he sold off his property on such a large scale." Shen Cha picked up a gold brick and weighed it in his hand. "General, please go and check the situation at that time." Who built the cellar for Chi Mansion? Ask them the specific time when they built the cellar."

"Okay." Bai Meng nodded, "Is there anything else you want me to do?"

"Send His Majesty back to the palace." Shen Cha shook the gold brick in his hand and pulled Shen Haolin and Song Qiyun out.

"Okay!" Bai Meng looked at their backs and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Go to Dali Temple and meet Mr. Chi Er!"
