Everyone followed the sound and saw a crack slowly opening on the side of the rockery. The crack opened wider with the sound, and did not stop until it could allow a person to pass through calmly. Kong Fang stepped forward to check and it turned out to be a secret door.
Behind the door is a passage leading underground. Although it is dark inside and nothing can be seen, there is no doubt that the end of the passage is the basement.
Kong Fang suppressed his joy and sent a government official to guard the door. He personally brought a torch and led Fang Shiqing, Fang Shiyi sisters, Luo Wenpeng, and Kong Yiji into the basement.
As soon as he started, a gust of fragrant wind hit him. Fang Shiqing already held the sword in his hand, grabbed the torch and walked in front of him.
Kong Fang was not angry, but was slightly moved.
In his previous life, he had read tomb-robbery novels and understood that the ancients liked to set up traps in places where treasures were hidden. This tigress... (well, calling her tigress now seems not very kind) obviously saw that he had no power to restrain a chicken, so when he met Not to mention cracking the mechanism, I'm afraid I won't even have the ability to dodge if it is triggered.
She would rather go on the journey by herself than take Kong Fang into danger.
Brothers fighting tigers, husband and wife soldiers in battle.
Kong Fang instantly felt that just because of this, all the whippings he (including his predecessor) had received were in vain.
"Brother-in-law, let's go."
Fang Shiyi, who was behind her, saw Kong Fang in a daze. She was extremely smart and saw at a glance that her brother-in-law was moved by her sister's actions, and she felt happy for the couple.
But because she was worried that Kong Fang was blocking the road and that no one could get in, her sister would be in danger and there would be no one to help her, so she urged her.
Kong Fang came to his senses and walked forward by the light of the fire.
He had just taken a few steps when a cold voice came from in front of him, "Why are you following me so closely? Do you want to die? Get out."
cough……
Kong Fang choked on his saliva. This woman obviously cares about her husband's life and death, but she insists on acting ferocious. Why bother?
If you are gentle, I will work harder to let you taste the beauty of spring in the world.
well……
Don't think too much.
You haven’t even held hands in half a year of marriage, and you still want to think about the story that happened in spring?
Is this idea too boring?
But he eventually stopped and distanced himself from her. Let professional people do professional things, and don't get in the way.
Fang Shiyi and Luo Wenpeng walked around Kong Fang and walked to the front. Kong Yiji stepped forward to protect him. Kong Fang, who was originally ranked second, became the last one.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Fang Shiyi asked softly.
"There seems to be a mechanism." Fang Shiqing replied.
Kong Fang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated when he heard this. There was indeed a trap! Is it a poisonous arrow? Poison smoke? Boulder? Or mercury... Tomb robbing novels describing mechanisms flashed through his mind.
There was a moment of silence in front of us, and there were many shadows of people. Kong Fang held his breath and clenched his fists nervously, curiosity constantly urging him to step forward. After all, no matter how real and wonderful the description in the novel is, it is not as intuitive as watching it on the spot.
But curiosity can kill the cat.
He was not sure what good consequences his disobedience to Fang Shiqing's well-wishers would bring, so he endured it all his life.
Men like gentle women; women like submissive men.
He doesn't give in to pressure, but he never likes to be competitive. Forbearance a moment, calm, take a step back, a brighter future.
"found it."
It was Fang Shiqing's voice, and then Kong Fang heard a "click" sound.
"alright."
It was also Fang Shiqing's voice, and then she heard her footsteps walking forward.
Kong Fang suddenly scratched his head and ears. Fang Shiqing did not lift the ban, so he did not dare to move.
If he makes his own decisions and goes in, and is scolded by her in public, he will lose face. After all, there are two outsiders here!
"Brother-in-law, come in."
The voice is beautiful, with a hint of sweetness.
But Kong Fang was still full of disappointment, because the wife he was marrying was unwilling to lift the ban in person, and she just didn't want to give him any face in front of outsiders.
He shook his head and entered the basement by the firelight. Fang Shiqing lit the candle on the wall, and the flickering candlelight illuminated the basement.
The basement is not large, more than 20 square meters. There are several large wooden boxes on the floor. There is a row of antique shelves on the left wall, with various antiques, calligraphy and paintings on them.
Open the wooden box. Inside are gold bars, silver, jewelry, necklaces...
Wealth leakage will shine brightly.
Kong Fang grabbed a gold bar, put it in his mouth and bit it carefully. Two rows of tooth marks were clearly visible. It's real, it's real gold... In the midst of ecstasy, he suddenly felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. Looking around, he saw everyone looking at him.
"Is it delicious?" Fang Shiqing's voice was cold and sarcastic.
"If it tastes good, eat more."
"..."
Kong Fang looked embarrassed.
It’s just that the tigress never gives her man face, but always makes him look bad. Is this what a woman should do?
Kong Fang wanted to get violent and spank her.
Regardless of the strength of both sides, he could only bear everything silently in the end.
Luo Wenpeng and Kong Yiji had a hard time holding back their laughter. If Kong Fang hadn't been the county magistrate, they would probably have died laughing. They don't dare to laugh to death, they can only hold it in, hoping they won't hold it to death.
If they suffocated themselves to death, Kong Xiang swore to the gods three feet above his head that he would never report work-related injuries to them.
The cheap sister-in-law sighed lightly. The brother-in-law's suspicious behavior is indeed puzzling, but the sister is really mean and wants to suppress her even though she clearly loves her, so why bother?
The harp and the harp are singing in harmony, isn’t the love between the two birds fragrant?
The four genuine people from Daxing Dynasty each picked up a gold bar, looked at it seriously for a while under the candlelight, and then weighed it in their hands, finally showing a look of joy on their faces.
This gold bar is indeed real.
Although it was expected, once confirmed, they could not hide their joy. This time it was Kong Fang's turn to be disdainful. He thought they had better methods of identifying treasures, but what was the result?
It’s almost unbearable to look at!
He was thinking about whether to build some Xibei cargo pits for these self-righteous Daxing Dynasty experts in the future.
Fang Shiqing and others used the same method to identify the silver, necklaces, and jewelry, and then counted the quantities. In the end, they counted 20,000 taels of gold, 500,000 taels of silver, some gold and silver necklaces and jewelry, and some jade and agate, all worth no less than hundreds of thousands of silver.
As for the antique calligraphy and paintings, Kong Fang was not from the Daxing Dynasty and could not understand them at all. Especially for those calligraphy and paintings, he had never even heard of the author's name.
As for the value, Fang Shiyi estimated it to be worth more than 100,000 silver.
In the Daxing Dynasty, one tael of gold was exchanged for one hundred taels of silver. Twenty thousand taels of gold was equivalent to two million taels of silver. Adding in other jewelry converted into silver, the wealth in the secret room was nearly three million taels of silver.
Kong Fang checked the Qinghe County archives and found that the annual tax revenue of Qinghe County was less than 80,000 taels of silver, and 100 taels of silver was enough for a medium-sized family's basic consumption for a year.
Faced with this huge wealth, not to mention Kong Yiji, a loser in the Daxing Dynasty, even sisters Fang Shiqing who came from a wealthy family were moved.
