In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

With the expectation of the three people, a healthy and plump boy was born. The child was not named Liang after birth, but Hong, following Yang Liuyi's mother's surname.

Liang Yachi agreed to this only after Yang Liuyi's strong request, for the following reasons: firstly, the child being born to a concubine would be detrimental to the child's future reputation; secondly, Liang Yachi's princess and concubines would not tolerate a concubine's child entering the palace and would harm the child.

So the newborn baby was taken away by the wet nurse found by Liang Yachi and sent to a secret base arranged by him for careful training, hoping to cultivate the child into a man of both literary and martial talents.

As far as Hong Xianzhi can remember, he knew that his father was a prince, and there were unavoidable difficulties for not taking him into the palace. His mother, who had no status, often came to see him secretly and brought him delicious and fun things. Although they did not live together, he did not lack the love of his father and mother. He could not let his parents down, he had to work harder to learn knowledge and martial arts, and he wanted to be the pride of his parents.

It was not until three years ago when the old emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne that Liang Yachi became the regent and the new emperor appointed Yang Liuyi as his concubine. Other princes had two concubines, but the regent had the privilege of having three concubines, but no one dared to object, and the objection was ineffective.

At that time, Yang Liuyi was 31 years old and Liang Yachi was 50 years old. The family of three could finally be together legitimately, and Liang Yachi was overjoyed. But Yang Liuyi was used to living here and didn't want to move into the palace, so Liang Yachi agreed to her request.

Hong Xianzhi is Liang Yachi's son, only the two of them know that, outsiders only know that the young man is the prince's adopted son. That's because he had a plan, he wanted to push his son to the throne when the world was not prepared.

When Liu Yunbao learned that his son was born, he implemented his and Yang Liuyi's plan. He bought an inconspicuous small yard not far from Yang Liuyi's mansion and dug a secret passage himself.

A few months later, after the secret passage was dug, he met with Yang Liuyi in secret. Liang Yachi came every three or five days at first, and then every ten days, so they had enough space and time. The servants in the house would not enter Yang Liuyi's yard, so no one found out that there was something fishy going on in the house.

After being bored for a while, Liu Yunbao was ready to leave to look for treasure. Yang Liuyi also supported him. For the future of their son, he had to work hard.

It is not easy to find treasure. He is just a white man and has nothing. Even if Yang Liuyi gave him one thousand taels of silver notes, it would not solve any problem.

Therefore, he wanted to accumulate strength first and then slowly make plans later. Moreover, he also had doubts about the so-called son. They had sex only once under the moon, and five days later she had sex with Liang Yachi again. It was hard to say whose child the child was. Only when the child grew up and looked like who would we know the answer.

Liu Yunbao changed his name to Wan Baocai, which is very meaningful, and settled in Pingyang Prefecture with this new identity. He accidentally saved a beggar and learned that the beggar's ancestors had the skill of making secret passages, so he became friends with him.

After getting drunk, the man took out a picture of a secret room and said that his great-grandfather had built a secret room for the Li family. It was a three-story house, which had changed owners several times, and the current owner was surnamed Li. He had heard his grandfather say that the original owner would put valuables in the secret room, so he joked that maybe there was a treasure under the current Li's house, but the Li family didn't know it.

So Wan Baocai took the map and sneaked into Li's house. He moved a stone bench in the pavilion, and a secret passage appeared. He found a large amount of gold and silver treasures in the secret passage, and thus he made his first pot of gold.

After he came to power, he played tricks in Li's house, making it look like the house was haunted, which frightened the Li family into selling the house and moving to the capital. Wan Baocai only spent two thousand taels of silver to buy the three-story house with hidden treasures.

Wan Baocai then poisoned his beggar friend to death, and no one in the world knew the secret of the house anymore. And who would care about the life or death of a beggar? The body was thrown into a mass grave by the yamen runners, and no one knew that the wealthy Wan Dacai was once a murderer.

Later, he took out some of the underground money to do business and launder money. Not to mention that he actually had some business acumen, he made the business very prosperous, and money made money, making him the richest man in Pingyang Prefecture.

With the financial resources, he slowly approached Liang Yachi and funded him to secretly recruit soldiers and forge weapons, so the two became good friends. He also came into contact with Hong Xianzhi and found that the child looked very much like Yang Liuyi, but his mouth and chin were like his, which was enough to prove that he was his biological son.

Wan Baocai was motivated to work hard and expanded the three-story Wan's house into a large house with five stories.

In order to conceal his true identity, he married and had children, and lived a normal life as a rich man. As he grew older, he gradually matured. He knew that he could not put all his eggs in one child's basket, and he had to have his own offspring to leave a way out for himself. So now he has four sons and three daughters. All four sons are very hardworking, two of them passed the examination to become a student, and two are good at business.

But secretly, Wan Baocai missed Yang Liuyi even more. His beautiful concubines could not replace the white moonlight in his heart, so he arranged the dark room under the study as a bridal chamber. Whenever he thought of Yang Liuyi, he would sleep in the bridal chamber to remember the intoxicating full moon night. What an infatuated man, another love-brained man! No, he is not infatuated, what he can't get is always the best, he is a sober love-brained man!

Wan Baocai had the financial resources and connections, and five years ago he secretly went to southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang to search for treasures according to the treasure map. His efforts paid off, and he finally found a large amount of treasure in two places, which made him unbelievable.

So he set up caravans in the southern and northern Xinjiang, and under the pretext of transporting goods, he smuggled large amounts of gold, silver and jewelry and brought them back to Wan Zhai.

The people in the caravan only knew that valuables were transported inside, but they didn't know it was treasure. The people guarding the car were all loyal soldiers raised by Wan Baocai, so he didn't worry about the treasure being exposed.

In this way, he used the excuse of doing business and spent three years secretly taking the two treasures for himself.

Then they sent people to southern Xinjiang, holding the useless fan, and deliberately and unintentionally revealed it to the remnants of the previous dynasty hiding in southern Xinjiang. That is, the side branch of the royal Yang family. They got the treasure map and were about to look for the treasure, but they were kidnapped by Hong Xianzhi, who was sent by the regent who heard the news, which led to the scene where Chen Ruotong saw the red-clothed man chasing the black-clothed man.

The five piles of gold, silver and jewelry that Chen Ruotong obtained were just treasures left by the previous owner.

Why didn't Wan Baocai go to the capital to meet Yang Liuyi during the day? Because he was just suddenly inspired, and he dreamed in his bedroom that Yang Liuyi said infatuatedly, "Yier misses Brother Bao, Yier wants to see Brother Bao right away..."

The blurred eyes intoxicated him, and then sobered him up. He hadn't seen her for half a year, and he missed her so much! He couldn't leave the city in the middle of the night, so he used a secret passage to leave the city. On the other side of the secret passage, there was a BMW horse raised in the dense forest. As long as he whistled, the horse would appear. In this way, he rode a fast horse to bypass the two prefectures overnight and traveled a long distance to meet Yang Liuyi in private. Having money is so willful.

Wan Baocai never expected that his willful behavior would attract two uninvited guests and cause him to lose the treasure!
