To the right of the cave.
Although the wooden boxes are made of different materials, they are all well-made and are incompatible with the shabby bandit villages and simple caves.
At this time.
Zang Yi and others revealed themselves, took off their cloaks, and began to organize them according to the pattern of wooden boxes.
They have always been around Xia Tian.
It’s just that the group of noble ladies can’t see it.
statistical results:
Fine iron box: 1.
Sandalwood boxes: 5 pcs.
Ebony chest: 20 pieces.
Ordinary wooden boxes: 60 pieces.
There are 86 boxes in total, filling half of the cave.
Now, it's harvest time.
Everyone wants to know, what is hidden in these wooden boxes?
If it were a wooden box in an ordinary bandit's village, everyone's expectations wouldn't be very high.
However, this bandit village was raised by the prince.
The wooden boxes in this treasure house may be different from the wooden boxes in ordinary bandit villages!
Same goes for summer.
He also wanted to know what was in these boxes: "Zang Yi, pay attention to safety and take precautions."
Zang Yi felt warm in his heart: "Take the order!"
Xia Tian was relieved: "Open the box!"
"yes!"
Zang Yi led the sword-hiding boy to open the ordinary wooden boxes one by one.
Suddenly.
Silver light poured out from the wooden box and filled the cave.
There are 60 ordinary wooden boxes, all filled with silver ingots, arranged neatly and very pleasing to the eye.
"Hey hey hey..."
Xiaobai had a money-obsessed smile on his face, and his teeth were so white that they made the sword-hide boys jealous. He bent down and picked up a silver ingot and weighed it: "Your Majesty, one silver ingot is ten taels."
"There are no marks on it, so it's impossible to determine its provenance."
"We can take action at will!"
He counted the amount in the box: "One box contains one hundred silver ingots and contains one thousand taels of silver."
"There are 60 boxes here, with a total of 60,000 taels of silver."
The more Xiaobai counts, the more excited he gets!
This is just the most ordinary wooden box, worth 60,000 taels of silver. What about the other wooden boxes?
The things inside should be more precious!
Next.
Zangyi led the people to open the 20 ebony boxes again.
Golden light shone out from the wooden box, almost blinding everyone's eyes.
Xiaobai smiled so much that the slits in his eyes almost disappeared!
"Your Majesty, all 20 boxes contain gold ingots, one weighs ten taels, one box contains one hundred ingots, and one box contains one thousand taels of gold."
"Twenty boxes of gold, a total of 20,000 (twenty thousand) taels of gold."
If converted into silver, it would be two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Xiaobai took the account book and entered the accounts: "Your Majesty, the evil bandits are occupying the mountains everywhere and killing passers-by. It's so abominable!"
"We will not let go of any bandits on our way there!"
"Never let it go!"
"We must do justice for heaven!"
Xia Tian smiled faintly and said thoughtfully: "The treasures in these wooden boxes probably do not belong to the Erlong Mountain bandits."
Xiaobai was stunned: "What did the prince see?"
Xia Tian pointed to the gold and silver in the wooden box and said: "If these were robbed by bandits, the size of the gold and silver will not be uniform, but should be very fragmented!"
"The weight should be very confusing!"
beside.
Zang Yi said: "The prince is indeed very discerning. Zang Yi guesses... these boxes probably belong to the prince."
"The prince is very greedy. He buys and sells officials secretly. These assets cannot be exposed to others, nor can they be transported into the East Palace without being caught."
"So, this is most likely the prince's small treasury outside the East Palace!"
“So, it makes sense that Zuogan would appear here!”
This coincides with what Xia Tian wants.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and an enigmatic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "If it belongs to the prince, that would be great!"
"Open the sandalwood box!"
"yes!"
At this time, everyone is becoming more and more curious about the contents of the wooden box!
Ordinary wooden boxes contain silver!
The ebony chest holds gold!
What about inside the sandalwood box?
Could it be something more precious than gold?
"Click..."
The young men with hidden swords cut off the iron lock on the sandalwood box and opened the box solemnly!
Suddenly.
The cave is filled with pearls and jewels, colorful and really beautiful.
Gold and silver have a price, but jewelry is priceless.
The young men who had hidden the sword opened the sandalwood box one by one, and all kinds of jewelry were displayed in front of everyone.
Xiaobai picked up a luminous bead as big as a fist: "Your Majesty, these are priceless luminous beads. There is a box full of them!"
"At least a hundred!"
"We're making a fortune!"
"There are not many of these in the palace. It is very precious and cannot be bought even if you have money."
Xiaobai was impressed by the prince's method of searching for treasures: "I don't know how the prince managed to collect so many treasures."
"Your Highness, we now have a full box. After we build the palace in Dahuang State, we will use this treasure to light up the entire palace!"
"It must be more magnificent than the palace!"
"Hehehe..."
Xia Tian smiled faintly: "This Ye Mingzhu can't eat when hungry, and can't drink when thirsty. It's not a good thing!"
"When we enter Qingzhou's territory, we will sell them all on the black market and exchange them for supplies!"
Xiaobai was stunned: "Really all sold?"
"Don't you leave one for Princess Lan?"
Xia Tian shook his head: "Don't leave any one behind!"
In ancient China, luminous pearls were also regarded as rare treasures, and were called "suizhu", "hanging pearl", "hanging thorn", "mingyue pearl", etc. in ancient times.
This thing contains various luminous substances that output radiation, which may cause human cells to mutate and cause terminal diseases.
Therefore, in Chinese history, the short life of many kings was related to wearing this thing.
For the sake of the health of everyone in the Huangzhou Palace, these things are not needed in summer and must be sold.
In the black market of the imperial capital, a half-fist-sized luminous pearl costs a thousand taels of gold, and there is no market for it.
There are many noble people in the imperial capital, and the noble people are not short of money.
As long as it's a rare treasure, you won't frown even if you spend a lot of money on it.
One is one thousand taels of gold, one hundred is one hundred thousand taels of gold, converted into silver, it is one million taels of silver.
This is equivalent to the tax revenue of a county in Jiangnan for one year!
Prince, you are so rich!
Unfortunately, summer is now cheaper.
If the prince knew the news... I wonder if he would be furious to death on the spot?
Among the ten sandalwood boxes, in addition to the luminous pearls, there are also three boxes of deep-sea pearls. The pearls are round and plump. They are absolutely top-quality and number in the thousands.
Three boxes of top quality agate, numbering in the thousands.
There are also three boxes of precious jade articles, totaling ten pieces.
The total value of these nine boxes of treasures is only half a million taels of silver.
In other words, ten boxes of sandalwood are worth 1.5 million taels of silver.
This is a huge fortune.
Now.
Only the last refined iron box remains.
Everyone is most curious about this box!
Because among this pile of wooden boxes, the fine iron box is unique.
Perhaps, the contents inside are also unique.
Zang Yi was very serious, carefully cut off the iron lock, and slowly opened the iron box, with a wary look on his face.
suddenly.
When the box is fully open.
"Swish swish..."
Three short, tailless, poisonous arrows shot out from the iron box, all blue.
"Poison arrow!"
Everyone was shocked: "No!"
However, at such a close distance, the arrow speed is so fast. Even a master can't avoid it.
so.
Zang Yi's eyes flashed and he did not dodge, letting the poisonous arrow hit his chest.
The hearts of the young men with hidden swords sank!
not good!
This crossbow arrow must have shot three holes in the boss's heart!
It’s over!
Someone is going to die!
Zangjiu's face turned pale and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Boss!"
but.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
When the poisonous arrow hit Zang Yi's chest, there was a sound of gold and iron clashing.
And sparks flew everywhere, as if they had hit an iron plate.
Not as if!
It just hit an iron plate.
"Pa bang bang..."
Three poison crossbows fell to the ground without causing any harm to Zang Yi.
He gave a rare smile: "Don't worry, the owner just reminded me that there may be something weird in these boxes!"
"So, I picked up a patch here and put it on my chest for protection!"
After saying that, Zang Yi glanced at Xia Tian gratefully.
Then.
He just looked down at the contents of the box.
suddenly.
The smile on his face disappeared and turned into a look of horror: "Why is this thing?"
"Master, it's not appropriate to take this thing out of the box. Please move!"
"They are all there. Except for Zangjiu, no one else is allowed to come over and guard the cave entrances on both sides."
"yes!"
Zang Yi's actions made the hearts of the Zang Sword boys feel like there were thousands of cats scratching them... They were itching unbearably!
What is in that fine iron box?
Xia Tian is also very curious!
What is it?
