Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard
Chapter 234: Wealthy as a Country
Found a safe location.
She looked at the map scanned by the system and planned to look for the treasure room or the treasure house underground first.
She didn't believe that such a corrupt official didn't have a treasure room or basement.
Sure enough, it lived up to her expectations.
There really is a basement below the study.
I have to go to the study anyway, so it's a good choice.
The study was locked, but there was no one guarding it. I guess he trusted the guards outside too much.
Zhao Yuanzhen took a piece of wire and opened the lock with a few clicks.
This kind of lock is very easy to open. Zhao Yuanzhen has studied it and found that the patterns inside are much simpler than modern ones, so she didn't feel any sense of accomplishment when she opened it.
Put the lock away, you will need to lock it again later.
Open the study door, go in, and close the door again.
She didn't dare to turn on the light, so she could only ask the system to turn on the night vision scan. She checked the night vision in her mind and searched.
There is no important information on the desktop, and there is no secret compartment in the study. I guess they are all in the basement. Find the basement switch and turn it on.
A small door appeared in the wall.
Zhao Yuanzhen entered the small door and it closed by itself.
After walking a short distance along the tunnel, there are steps leading downwards.
She walked down the stairs and after more than thirty steps, she suddenly saw a basement of more than 100 square meters.
In the basement, Zhao Yuanzhen dared to light a lamp. She took out two lanterns, lit them, placed one high up, and carried the other in her hands.
I looked around the basement.
There was an empty space of about ten square meters on the left, where a desk and two chairs were placed, and the rest was filled with large wooden boxes.
Zhao Yuanzhen looked at a large area of wooden boxes.
Walk over and ask the system to scan the contents inside.
Wow, they are all treasures.
Either gold, silver or jewelry, or calligraphy and paintings.
They are all rare!
There is a large box next to the desk, which is filled with banknotes.
She roughly counted and found that there were more than 1.4 million taels of silver in silver notes.
Those boxes, filled with silver alone, weighed more than 100 tons.
More than 40 loads of gold.
This wealth is enough to rival a country.
I'm afraid even the national treasury doesn't have that much cash.
In the past two years since His Majesty came to power, he has been working hard to govern the country. On the one hand, he has to rebuild the northern provincial capitals, on the other hand, he has to provide relief to the people affected by floods in the south, and on the other hand, he has to provide food and fodder for the border conflicts.
The national treasury was opened again and again.
Maybe these local prefects are actually richer than the national treasury.
She estimated that the treasures in the basement, plus the gold and silver, could be worth 10 small targets.
She looked around and around to see if there were any items she liked, such as antique paintings and calligraphy, jade ornaments, etc. If she liked anything, she would put it directly into her space.
He left the gold, silver and banknotes untouched, and only took some of the things he liked.
Looking at the many gold, silver and jewels that were discarded, he muttered to himself.
[God, look at me. For the sake of the people of the world, I didn't take a penny. I was ready to confiscate my property and put it into the national treasury to spend on the people of the world. You still ask for lightning to strike me every day. Tsk tsk tsk! You don't mention the great merits I have in my heart. ]
He took another look at the gold, silver and jewelry, then went to the desk to look for the account books as evidence.
In the drawer under the desk, there are a lot of correspondence and several account books.
And some case files.
Look at the time, you definitely won’t be able to finish watching it.
She asked the system to scan everything and make a copy. She took the original and put the copy down.
Finally, he looked at the pile of gold, silver and jewelry, and walked away reluctantly, looking back every few steps.
He walked out of the study, restored everything to its original state, locked the study door, and then left.
Other things cannot be moved for the time being. We cannot alert the enemy now. We have to wait until His Majesty sends people to search the house.
He drew a map of Prefect Fang's mansion, with all the secret passages, basements, and treasure houses marked in detail.
After fastening his tights, he headed back toward the courtyard.
The stalkers are still here in the courtyard.
It seems that the prefect is really afraid that they will run away.
He jumped into the yard, walked to the door, took off his invisibility cloak, and was about to push the door open to go in. Lan Ying came out from next door with a sword.
"Who?"
"It's me, go back to sleep."
"Yes, ma'am."
Lan Ying had been worried about Zhao Yuanzhen, so she stayed up all night and kept watch over her. Now that Zhao Yuanzhen had returned, she finally felt relieved and went back to her room and fell asleep.
After Zhao Yuanzhen entered the house, she looked at some letters and account books. The letters were correspondence with many people, all of which were important matters, otherwise they would not be kept. She didn't know many of the people.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as Your Majesty knows him, that’s enough.
The account book records the bribes he received and the various gifts he gave to officials in Beijing.
Zhao Yuanzhen didn't understand why these people always liked to keep an account book to leave evidence of their crimes.
Thinking back, so much gold, silver and jewelry should indeed be recorded. Moreover, although this is a handle, on the other hand, it is also a life-saving straw.
If something happens someday, you can threaten the people above to rescue you.
What a pity, this time Zhao Yuanzhen took them all away quietly.
Zhao Yuanzhen took out a pen and paper and began to write down some major cases that were distorted by Prefect Fang, and also attached the locations of the evidence.
He also wrote a letter to Zhao Yuanlan, briefly explaining the situation on his side and what might happen in the future, and asked him to hand the letter to His Majesty. If he brought people to search the house and if he was arrested, he should remember to take good care of Zhang Zijin.
I put the letters, cases, files, and an account book in a small waterproof schoolbag.
After thinking about it, he found the pair of jade pendants that Zhao Yuanzhen and Zhao Yuanlan had separated. Each of them had one jade pendant.
Also stuffed into the small schoolbag.
He tied the pocket of the small schoolbag, released Huang Rong, put the small schoolbag on her, and took out the portrait of Zhao Yuanlan to show Hai Dongqing.
Zhao Yuanzhen had taken it to the general's mansion before, so she wasn't afraid that it wouldn't be able to find it.
"Huang Rong, go back to the capital and look for my elder brother at the General's Mansion. Give him the small schoolbag you have with you. If he writes back, bring it back to me. If you can't find me, go look for Zijin."
Huang Rong nodded.
Zhao Yuanzhen also fed it a powerful pill and checked the small schoolbag again to make sure there was no problem.
He took out a powerful pill, put it in a small cloth bag, hung it on his foot, and asked it to deliver one to Guo Jing as well.
I forgot about it when I was with Zhang Zijin just now.
"Huang Rong, give this to Guo Jing and let him eat it immediately. It can increase his strength. You just ate it. After giving it to Guo Jing, you can go directly to the capital. The sooner you go, the sooner you will come back. I will wait for you to come back."
Huang Rong called out twice in a low voice.
Zhao Yuanzhen opened the window and it flew out.
Although the Saker Falcon is large in size, it flies very fast and makes little noise.
It is estimated that we will reach the capital in seven days at the latest.
After finishing everything, I yawned, felt sleepy, and went to bed.
Lan Ying also slept very late, so when the two of them woke up the next day, it was already noon.
The two of them decided to wash up and then go to the houseboat to eat.
The food there is pretty good.
Listen to music by the way.
You can't ruin your fun just because of a prefect Fang.
After washing up, they went to the houseboat leisurely.
The nanny saw the two of them coming over with a look of horror on her face. She had thought that this generous lady who came from nowhere had offended Prefect Fang yesterday and was probably doomed.
I didn't expect it to come back intact today.
What does this mean!
Either this lady was very rich and had bribed Prefect Fang, who was willing to let her go for the sake of money.
Or maybe this person has connections and power behind him, the kind that even Prefect Fang cannot afford to offend.
But no matter which one it is, it is enough to prove that Zhao Yuanzhen is a big fish, the God of Wealth, and he must be served well in the future.
The nanny figured it out and immediately put on a flattering face, smiling like a peony, and greeted Zhao Yuanzhen.
"Madam, now that you are here, it's time to have lunch. How about serving you a meal first?"
"Okay, serve a table of food first and send it to my pleasure boat."
"Okay, ma'am, I'll get it to you right away. It's just the pleasure boat. Maybe we need to change it because the one we had yesterday was broken."
The boat we sailed on yesterday was damaged and hasn't been repaired yet.
"No problem. Lead the way, and call some singing girls and men over."
"Okay, wait a moment. I'll be there soon. I'll ask someone to take you to the new pleasure boat."
"Ah."
The nanny arranged for a servant to take Zhao Yuanzhen to a larger and more luxuriously decorated houseboat.
Not long after the two of them sat down, the singing man and girls came.
This time, there were more people than ever before, nearly 40. If it weren't for the larger pleasure boat, the hall of this pleasure boat might not be able to accommodate them.
Seeing a group of people rushing in, Zhao Yuanzhen raised her eyebrows. These people were quite good at seeing things.
When I was fighting with Fang Yunqi yesterday, a group of people ran away. But today, when they saw that I came back safe and sound, they immediately surrounded me.
As expected, they have all been in the entertainment circles for a long time, and they are able to read people's expressions and think things through, so they are absolutely correct.
But she didn't care, she just wanted to listen to the music.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and the DNA of loving music has awakened. Listening to some songs every day makes me feel that life is comfortable.
Because they were going to have dinner soon, Zhao Yuanzhen sat in a compartment inside the hall. There was a gauze curtain in the middle blocking her view, but she could still see vaguely, just not clearly.
When Lan Ying saw Zhao Yuanzhen nod, she asked them to start singing.
"Let's get started. You all know the rules, right?"
Zhao Yuanzhen's rule is that you have to introduce yourself and the name of the song before singing. It doesn't matter what you sing, just sing what you think you are best at. If you sing well and Zhao Yuanzhen likes it, you will be rewarded.
If you don't like someone, just let him go and he won't have to come back again.
A group of people answered softly.
"Madam, I know."
Everyone knows Zhao Yuanzhen's rules, and they are not difficult to follow.
"Okay, then sing."
Lan Ying waved her hand and asked them to start.
