It turns out that Su Xian was not trying to "make the bed."
But to... open the secret room?
After Tang Shujing understood this, her face, which was already as red as a melon seed that could bleed, was now a little redder, even so red that she had a fever, and even the roots of her ears felt hot.
After Su Xian turned on the mechanism, he clapped his hands, glanced sideways at Tang Shujing, who looked dull and feverish, and ignored it.
He walked to a cabinet and took out two brand-new candles. Then he returned to the table and lit it with the fire stick on the table. Two small flames slowly rose.
"What are you doing standing still? Just take it."
Su Xian handed over a candle.
"oh."
Tang Shujing came back to her senses, took the candle, took a deep breath to calm down, and then followed Su Xian to the dark secret room behind the bookshelf.
From this point of view, Su Xian brought her to this bedroom not for... that matter, but to go to the secret room.
This made Tang Shujing greatly relaxed, but also felt a little disappointed. After all, on the other hand, her plan was hindered.
After a while, the two came to the entrance of the secret room.
The light of the two candles, although weak, illuminated the dark interior of the chamber.
Tang Shujing observed carefully and found that the secret room was not big, about half a foot square. The main reason was that there was a stone staircase going down in the secret room, and it was unknown where it led.
Da da da!
The two of them walked one behind the other, holding candles in their hands, and walked slowly down the stone steps.
The sound of footsteps is clearly audible.
At this time, Tang Shujing was filled with doubts, and a sense of excitement of adventure arose spontaneously, slowly overpowering her shyness before, so she opened her mouth and asked:
"Brother-in-law, this
"for what?"
Su Xian said with confusion in his tone: "Didn't I just say that I understand your purpose of coming here, so I brought you here."
The purpose of my coming here... When she thought of this, the shyness in Tang Shujing's heart emerged again.
The steps became increasingly heavy.
This made her twitch the corner of her mouth slightly and thought to herself: "Could it be that the reason why he took me to the underground secret room was to... completely soundproof it?"
Hiss...it's very possible!
Tang Shujing pursed her lips and looked around at the deep surroundings. Her heart beat violently and her whole body was shaking.
She glanced at Su Xian's back in front of her, then lowered her eyes, not daring to look further... She performed the girl's shyness to the fullest.
But Su Xian had no chance to appreciate this scene.
Su Xian would be greatly surprised if he saw it...
Next, the two of them were speechless and continued walking down.
The patter of footsteps was the only sound in their ears.
Tang Shujing walked behind, looking at Su Xian's back, thinking about it all the way.
Su Xian didn't realize it at all.
After a while, the two finally stepped onto the ground.
Come to the underground underground.
"Don't be stunned, light the oil lamps around you first."
After Su Xian gave the instructions, he walked to the left and used the candle in his hand to light the oil lamp hanging on the wall. Soon, the secret room became a little brighter.
Tang Shujing was stunned on the spot.
His face looked strange for a while.
Because she discovered that the layout of this secret room... was not what she expected, such as a couch and so on.
In the secret room with a radius of several feet, there are three long log tables. The table tops are about six feet wide and several feet long. They are piled with things, and the overall height is more than one person tall.
But she didn't know what it was because it was covered with red silk cloth.
What's happening here?
Brother-in-law...what does that mean?
Tang Shujing held the candle in her hand and was stunned for a moment.
"What are you still doing? Hurry up and get to work!" Su Xian's dissatisfied voice came with a muffled echo.
"Oh well."
Only then did Tang Shujing wake up, temporarily suppressing the suspicion in her heart, and followed Su Xian's example, lighting up the oil lamps hanging on the wall one by one.
Soon, dozens of oil lamps were all lit.
Although the flame of a single oil lamp is very small, there are too many flames, and the combined light is actually very strong.
After Tang Shujing blew out the candle in her hand, she looked at the secret room again. Needless to say, the level of construction was excellent. What she focused on was the three long tables.
There was a mountain of piles on it, but it was covered with red silk cloth, so it was impossible to guess what it was.
"Are you curious, these red hijabs
"What is it?"
"You'll understand when you open it."
Tang Shujing looked suspicious. Since Su Xian had said so, she walked to the first long table, grabbed a corner of the red silk cloth, and gently pulled it down.
The red silk was silky and slipped directly down without encountering any resistance.
The moment the red silk slipped off, the entire secret room suddenly became brighter several times, and Tang Shujing's bright eyes also lit up, followed by a shocked expression.
What did she see?
A lot of white silver, and silver ingots as big as fists, were piled steadily on the long table, layer after layer, making it dazzling.
"Silver...a lot of silver..." Tang Shujing froze on the spot, her mouth gradually opened wide enough to stuff an egg...something the size of an egg.
"This is one hundred thousand taels of silver, all of which are silver ingots. How about it? Do you like it?" Su Xian's voice seemed to have some kind of allure.
"I like it." Tang Shujing nodded. Who in the world doesn't like money?
"I lent it to you!" Su Xian said casually, as if one hundred thousand taels was equivalent to one tael in his eyes.
"Lent them all to me?"
"Of course, take a look at this table again."
Su Xian casually pointed to the long table in the middle.
Tang Shujing walked over slowly, followed the same pattern, and pulled down the "red hijab" on the second table, and then the light in the secret room became several times brighter.
This is also a table of silver, but it is silver bars and rectangular shapes, which are stacked perfectly together, so the overall volume is much smaller than the silver ingots on the first table.
When Tang Shujing was shocked, Su Xian said again: "This is also one hundred thousand taels, I will lend it all to you!"
"Lend this to me too?"
"Is there still a lie? Look at the third table."
As the "red hijab" on the third table was lifted, the secret room became brighter several times, and it was so dazzling that it was difficult to open one's eyes.
Not surprisingly, the third table is also made of silver, but in the style of silver bricks. Each one is larger and heavier than a silver bar.
"I'll lend you these 100,000 taels, a total of 300,000 taels, all of them!" Su Xian finally said. Three hundred thousand taels of silver seemed to him to be about the same as three taels.
Three hundred thousand taels, equal to three taels, is indeed not an exaggeration for Su Xian.
His current total assets are very scary. He doesn't know how much they are. Tang Shuwan told him last time that he might be as rich as the country...
As for why it was necessary to lend so much money to Tang Shujing, there were two main considerations.
First, Tang Shujing took these threads mainly to help people in need. For Su Xian, whether it was out of kindness or to maintain stability, he felt that the money was well spent.
Secondly, as far as he knows, Tang Shujing has already become the "leader" of a dark force because she likes to help others and make friends with people in the world. The lineup of this dark force is very important, and maybe at a certain critical moment, it can exert its power. unexpected effect.
For example, key points such as "the whole city is in chaos" and "change of dynasties"...
Those people in the world are righteous, so if they gather together, the impression they create should not be too scary.
Well worth the investment!
