Except for the first box Shen Cha checked and the two boxes near the corner, the remaining dozen boxes contained a lot of things that scared their jaws.
Among them, seven or eight boxes contained dazzling gold, and the remaining seven or eight boxes contained silver ingots and various jewelry that could blind people's eyes.
"This..." Shen Cha looked at His Highness Prince Ning, and then waved to Xue Ruitian, "Come over and take a look first. We may have really made a fortune this time, and we don't have to worry about wages at all."
Xue Ruitian didn't know why, so he walked over with Jin Jing with a curious look on his face. When he saw the contents of the box, his eyes widened instantly.
"This this……"
Xue Ruitian wanted to reach out and pick up a piece of gold to look at it. To be honest, he had never seen so much gold and silver in his whole life. This time it was really an eye-opener for him.
"Isn't it a surprise?" Ying Wu winked at Xue Ruitian, "Master Hou, your worth has doubled!"
"How does it feel to suddenly become a rich man?" Mei Zhu covered her mouth and snickered, "Master Marquis, please express your thoughts."
"I don't have any feelings, I just feel..." Xue Ruitian blinked, still looking in disbelief, "This... is unimaginable, this really exists, these things are real, not paper Did you do it?”
"Pfft!" His Highness Prince Ning couldn't bear it any longer, "Look at how you all look like you have never seen the world!"
"Your Highness, you can't blame us. Really, I have never seen so much gold and silver since I was a child."
"After all, you are also a prince, a marquis, and a general. Why are you..." His Highness Prince Ning looked disgusted. Compared with these children, he seemed very calm. He put down the half-read letter and said calmly, "Isn't it just a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry? Why are you making such a fuss? There are no nobles or royal relatives in Daxia who haven't had some wealth yet. Son?"
"But..." Xue Ruitian hesitated and bravely picked up a piece of gold, "This is not just a small amount of family wealth, is it? Is it a bit too much? Shouldn't such a spectacular sight appear in His Majesty's private treasury? inside?"
"Who are you looking down on? If His Majesty's private treasury only has such a few things, what else will he do?" His Highness Prince Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, "There are many more things in the private treasury than this. Look at Xijing City The wealthy businessmen there have much more families than this one."
"Then he's a businessman, isn't it natural to be rich?" Xue Ruitian sighed, "Everyone at the border is a money-burner. Your Highness doesn't know. Haolin, Xiaocha, and I just took over the Shen family in the first two years. I worry about my salary every day." He looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha, "It would have been nice if I could have discovered this, right?"
"Yes." Shen Cha nodded frequently, "At least I don't have to think about how to steal all the food and grass from the Liao and Jin people every day."
"I knew you were living a miserable life, but I didn't expect it to be so miserable."
"That's right!" Xue Ruitian sighed, "In our opinion, only His Majesty's private treasury in the world has so much gold."
"Xiao Cha and Hao Lin should have seen His Majesty's private treasury, right?"
"After a cursory glance, it's larger than this secret room."
"Is it just bigger?" His Highness Prince Ning chuckled, "Let's put it this way, His Majesty's private treasury must be as big as five secret rooms. Just think about how many things can be packed in. As you can see, , there are not as many as our royal palace, what is there to be so excited and nervous about?"
"Uncle Wang, there is no doubt that the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis Mansion have family backgrounds, but neither father nor mother, nor Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue informed us of their existence. These things can really be attributed. Is it within the scope of the family?" Shen Haolin's expression was very serious, "Since it is placed in this secret room, can we guess that it is related to the Qinglian Sect?"
"Then you need to look for any clues that point to your guess." His Royal Highness Prince Ning looked at the letter in his hand, "You can look for it yourself slowly, and don't disturb me from reading the letter, and don't yell anymore. ,OK?"
The children nodded obediently, watching His Highness Prince Ning's attention return to the letter in his hand, and carefully put it together.
"Haolin, Xiaocha, look." Xue Ruitian turned over the gold in his hand, "There is no stamp on it."
"Master Hou, not all gold and silver ingots need to be stamped. Those who stamp them are either from the treasury or deposited in a bank. If they are just stored in one's own home, they generally will not be stamped. It's just..." Jin Jing looked at the dozen or so big boxes, "The unmarked quantity is indeed a bit too much, and there are many of these jewelry that I have never seen before." He picked up a bracelet and another piece of jade. "It looks very much like a tribute from a foreign tribe. The quality and appearance are not what they should be on the market."
Shen Cha, Shen Haolin, and Xue Ruitian looked at each other in confusion, and looked at Jin Jing blankly, not understanding the essential difference between what he was holding and what was sold in shops outside.
"Okay, okay, you don't need to understand what's going on." Jin Jing shook her head helplessly, "You know this is a very, very good thing."
"Understood." Shen Cha nodded, "In other words, it is natural for tributes to appear in the palace. When they appear in the residences of royal relatives, princes, nobles, and nobles, they should also be rewarded by His Majesty, but..."
"It's not unreasonable to reward so much, right?" Jin Jing carefully put the things in her hands back and waved her hand, "Let's keep looking, we should be able to find the answer." He said while looking at the secret room , "By the way, there is another question."
"What?"
"I just found this in the bookcase." Jin Jing walked to the bookcase he was checking and took out a piece of paper. "This is the structure diagram of the secret room, but I feel something is wrong. Take a look and see if you can Can’t figure out the problem!”
