The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

All the valuable porcelain and ornaments in the study were moved to Guiyuantianju, except for the spittoon next to the desk, which remained there.

When Zhou Yue'e heard the reminder, she endured the nausea and moved the spittoon, but the spittoon did not move at all.

Later she turned clockwise again, but still no response.

Bai Jingzhi stood aside, his face solemn, "There must be a pattern here. If we keep guessing, we may not be able to open the mechanism until dawn."

She had not expected at this moment that this county magistrate was a man of great skill and had set up the agency so covertly that she had not found any clues after searching for such a long time.

For a moment, the three of them looked at each other.

"Hey, do you remember the mechanism box in Prince Li's Mansion last time?" Bai Zhao clapped his hands, remembering this.

Bai Jingzhi was reminded and realized, "Yes, how could I forget this! If there is something wrong with this county magistrate, there must be something like a mechanical box."

Her eyes scanned the study and finally fell on the desk. There was nothing suspicious on the desk.

Bai Zhao followed her line of sight and said, "Such a small table shouldn't be able to hide anything!"

"Just try and you will find out."

Bai Jingzhi walked straight over and touched the desk from top to bottom and left to right.

"That's what I said. How could such a small and thin table have any hidden secrets?"

Bai Zhao stood aside and made sarcastic remarks, but was glared at by his own daughter and dared not make any more noise.

After the surroundings became quiet, Bai Jingzhi reached under the table and felt around.

"Hey, there's a small wooden lump here."

Bai Jingzhi crawled under the table and gently pressed the wooden lump.

Everything that happened next was totally unexpected.

I saw the desk slowly extending. It was originally a rectangle, but now it has become a square.

"This~" Bai Zhao was at a loss for words. He now had to admire the wisdom of the ancients.

It was not difficult to do these things in the original world, but in ancient times, the perfection of mechanical technology was truly amazing.

The craftsmanship and aesthetics of the ancients were both top-notch.

"Let me see what else is there!"

Bai Jingzhi was ready to give it a try.

It is definitely not that easy to extend this table.

The three of them took action at the same time and searched for the secret together. In the end, Bai Zhao discovered the clue.

There was a spot on the extended table that was different from the others, so he tapped it lightly.

"Hollow!" Bai Jingzhi also smiled, "Looks like it will be deciphered soon."

There is a subtle joint there, which you won't notice at all if you're not careful.

"How do we open it? Should we use a tool to pry it open?"

Bai Zhao was a little dumbfounded. He had no idea how to start. If he was too violent, it would most likely be damaged.

"Would this be less troublesome? Try pressing it harder."

With previous experience, Bai Jingzhi didn't want to complicate things.

Several people tried many methods but still failed to remove the wooden board.

Bai Jing was so angry that he said, "Sister Yue'e, use your inner strength to shake it open. Even if it is damaged, it is damaged. We can't waste our time here."

By now she was a little anxious. Half an hour had passed and she still didn't know what was going on over there.

Zhou Yue'e always listened to Bai Jingzhi's words. She gently inserted her index and middle fingers into the desk, and the wooden board split in two, revealing the true appearance inside.

Bai Jingzhi only had time to throw the contents into Guiyuantianju. The spittoon started spinning wildly, and a secret room appeared under the chair of the magistrate of Liu County.

The steps were not deep, and the group reached the bottom after walking about twenty steps.

Bai Jingzhi gave each person a solar lamp and said, "Look at what good stuff there is. It's worth the county magistrate using so many devices to protect it."

"It's just gold, silver, jewelry and the like. This county magistrate is greedy for money, so he will naturally keep these things under his nose."

The secret room here is not very big, about half the size of a study.

They reached the bottom, where the boxes were neatly stacked, with only a small path nearby for one person to walk sideways.

Bai Zhao would make a clicking sound from time to time, "That county magistrate is as fat as a pig. How can such a small path accommodate him?"

The path was only half a meter wide, and an adult man would have to lean sideways to breathe, let alone a fat man.

Bai Jingzhi looked up and counted them, sighing as he counted, "I don't know how they were put up there? One, two... there are five layers!"

"These must have been done by his confidants. There is something wrong with this county magistrate."

Bai Zhao had just met the county magistrate. On the surface, he seemed like a coward, but what the actual situation was like remained to be seen.

Bai Jingzhi nodded, "It is indeed suspicious. Okay, let's take this small treasury to him first, and then go to his wife to check."

When Zhou Yue'e heard this, she was about to move it down when Bai Zhao held her shoulders.

"Yue'e, save your energy and let your cousin do it."

"Let your cousin come?"

Zhou Yue'e was skeptical and looked up and down at her cousin's arms and legs, then made room.

But she has always been behind Bai Jingzhi, and she will take action if there is any danger.

Bai Jingzhi didn't take her action to heart.

Nearly thirty boxes disappeared out of thin air. Zhou Yue'e was shocked and opened her mouth but could not make a sound.

Bai Zhao reminded at this time, "Okay, let's go up quickly, we still have to go to the backyard."

Zhou Yue'e's feet are still light and fluffy. She has heard the legend of the ancestral space from her master, but hearing and seeing with one's own eyes are two completely different things.

Bai Jingzhi didn't look closely at what was in the boxes. She noticed that Zhou Yue'e was a little confused, so she urged:

"Sister Yue'e, come back to your senses. We still have to search another place."

The three of them returned to the study, put things back in place, and hurried to the backyard.

Wei Li had knocked out all the living people here before, and they couldn't wake up for a while.

There is a rumor among the people in Liu County that the county magistrate favors his concubine and kills his wife.

Bai Jingzhi and his companions came to the courtyard of the county magistrate's first wife and no longer believed the rumor.

This yard is the best yard.

It was quiet inside at the moment.

"Let's hurry up. I'll go to the granary later to avoid arousing suspicion." Bai Zhao began to urge again.

This time it went more smoothly than in the study, except that there were more things than there, almost three times as many.

"There are so many things. The county magistrate's wife's dowry must be in there!"

Bai Jingzhi was shocked at how wealthy this couple was.

Unfortunately, no matter how generous the money is, it is of no use, as these are already in her pocket and are also the start-up capital for their Wujiyuan.

All these became her little piggy bank.

Thinking of this, Bai Jingzhi smiled happily.

Bai Zhao left the county magistrate's wife's yard and urged directly: "Okay, I'll take you back to the space villa, and I'll go over there to take a look."

The rest of their team went to look for food, so he had to show up over there.

As a mascot, he needs to be a qualified decoration.

"I want to follow them. I'll pack some food, and when the food is gone, I'll sneak it out."

After experiencing this food shortage, Bai Jingzhi began to think long-term.

Bai Zhao still disagreed, but when a loud noise came from the granary, he ran away, "Why don't you catch up!
