My god, run!!!

Hua Rong asked, "Do you want Yipao and I to go with you?"

Zhou Zheng said that was not necessary and told them to pack up their things and wait for him behind the village. He also asked them to be careful. Hua Rong said that he understood.

Zhou Zheng, the village chief, and Shi Tian went all the way to the village chief's home. The people in the village chief's family were obviously nervous and uneasy when they saw the village chief bringing a stranger home.

The village chief ordered his family members to go back to their rooms and not to step out of the door without his order. Anyone who violated the order would be punished according to the family rules.

Upon hearing that they were going to be punished according to family rules, the people in the village chief's family immediately returned to their rooms and bolted the doors.

The village chief found three torches, one for each of the three people, and then the village chief walked into the cellar. Shi Tian and Zhou Zheng also walked into the cellar one after another.

I only saw the village chief moving all the cabbages on the ground, and then picking up the thick grass on the ground, and then I saw a wooden board exposed on the ground. The village chief pulled the iron ring on the board hard, and the board slowly opened. I saw a staircase under the board leading to the underground.

The village chief went down first, Shi Tian went down second, and Zhou Zheng went down last. When Zhou Zheng came down and saw the things piled inside, he was completely shocked.

A closer look reveals that the entire underground space is as large as a football field, supported by many stone pillars in the middle. The items inside are arranged evenly, the space is well ventilated, and the ground is dry and not damp.

It was obvious that a huge sum of money had been spent on the renovations. As expected of a family that had existed for over 1000 years, their heritage was truly extraordinary. Zhou Zheng believed that the Shi family, descendants of Shi Qian, the flea on the drum, had stolen far more than this amount of wealth over the past 1000 years. It was no exaggeration to say that a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

But this is not important. People... can't be too greedy. You know, even a rabbit will bite when it's angry! Don't say that this family has been passed down for 1000 years, it still has a lot of background.

Zhou Zheng was also shocked when he saw the dazzling array of things.

The village chief and Shi Tian looked at Zhou Zheng with helpless expressions.

Zhou Zheng looked at their expressions and said with a joking smile, "Don't make that expression. You should know that suffering a loss is a blessing. Be careful in the future and don't suffer such a loss again."

"I know you're angry, but there's no point in being angry. If you do something wrong, you must be punished accordingly."

"This is just a small punishment. Money is only a thing outside of one's body. I believe that your family, which has been passed down for 1000 years, cannot have only such a small amount of wealth."

After hearing Zhou Zheng's words, the village chief and Shi Tian were shocked, but they recovered in an instant. It's impossible to cheat us.

At this moment, the village chief said weakly: "This is the wealth left by our Shi family from generation to generation. Half of it is gone in one go. I feel ashamed of our ancestors." After saying that, he burst into tears sadly.

As soon as Zhou Zheng saw the village chief, he knew he was acting and was not going to expose him.

While looking at the things inside, he said, "I know people in your business. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. It's impossible to put everything in one basket."

When the village chief heard Zhou Zheng say this, he stopped crying instantly. His back was wet, sweat was pouring off his forehead, and his hands and feet were shaking.

The same goes for Shi Tian.

Zhou Zheng looked at the two of them and said, "That's none of my business. I'm too lazy to ask. I only see the floating wealth here, so I'll just take half of it."

Hearing Zhou Zheng say this, the village chief and Shi Tian both breathed a sigh of relief, fearing...

The village chief asked, "How are you going to move all this? Do you want me to call someone to help you?"

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Don't bother you with this. I have my own way to move them out, but I'm sorry to bother you for a while."

After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he immediately knocked the village chief and Shi Tian unconscious, then picked and chose, and put half of the floating wealth into the ring.

Then he walked out of the village chief's house and went to the back of the village. Seeing that everyone was there, he got on his horse and told everyone to start their journey towards the county town.

After Feng Zhouzheng and his companions left, the village chief and Shi Tian finally woke up. They were terrified, believing they were all dead and had gone to Hades. But when they saw that it was their own underground treasure vault, half of the items were gone. They sighed, thinking the man had just let it go, and hoped their ancestors would bless them.

Everyone thought they had been unconscious for a long time. The two men walked out of the cellar and called their family members out. It turned out that they had only been unconscious for a few hours.

At this time, the village chief scolded Shi Tian and beat him with a feather duster, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Tian remained silent throughout the whole process. If he had not insisted on his own way, the family would not have suffered such heavy losses.

Seeing that his nephew did not resist, the village chief's second uncle calmed down a lot and said the meaning of what Zhou Zheng had told him: don't provoke people you shouldn't provoke. In our line of work, we always put safety first and don't put yourself in danger when doing things.

Shi Tian nodded, indicating that he had memorized everything. He considered this a lesson he would never forget. He didn't dare seek revenge. Besides, the wealth Zhou Zheng had taken was only a drop in the bucket for the Shi family.
