Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.
Chapter 530 The keyhole was found
I have to say, this liniment feels cool and refreshing when applied, and after a while, the big bump on my forehead doesn't hurt anymore.
Zhao Lian opened the door to the secret room with practiced ease, and seeing that the gold and silver jewelry inside was still there, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he knew beforehand that there was gold and silver jewelry inside, Song Wenjie was still stunned when he saw so much gold and silver jewelry.
In this one secret room alone, there were quite a few gold bars and jewelry on the iron rack. According to Zhao Lian, there are a total of three such secret rooms.
If you add these three rooms together, how much would that cost!
Looking at the numerous arrows on the ground, one can imagine that if they had pierced a person, they would have become like a hedgehog.
Song Wenjie couldn't help but admire Zhao Lian, who had managed to dodge so many hidden attacks.
Song Wenjie reached out to pick up one of the gold bars to examine it, but Zhao Lian quickly warned him, "Don't touch it!"
But they were still a step too late. The top of the secret chamber shook, and the stone door outside closed again. Zhao Lian quickly snatched the gold bar from Song Wenjie's hand and put it back in its place, then pulled him out quickly.
"What on earth happened?" Song Wenjie was still in shock. He felt as if the entire secret room had shaken.
Zhao Lian rolled her eyes: "Or do you think I'm stupid?! Leaving so much gold and silver jewelry untouched?"
Then, Zhao Lian told him about the mechanism of the secret room.
Because the iron rack storing gold and silver jewelry is connected to the top of the secret chamber, if you move the gold and silver jewelry inside carelessly, it will trigger the mechanism above.
Not only is there a risk of collapse, but the outer stone door will also be closed, making it impossible to open from the inside.
Therefore, these gold and silver treasures cannot be touched in the slightest.
Seeing all this gold and silver jewelry right under her nose, yet unable to take it, Zhaolian was helpless.
Let's try again!
Song Wenjie, skeptical, had Zhao Lian open the stone door again. After careful observation, he found that the facts were indeed as Zhao Lian had said.
"What should we do then?"
Looking at the glittering gold and silver jewelry under the lights, Song Wenjie became worried.
The emperor ordered them to transport the gold and silver treasures back within a month and a half. At the time, he thought the task was not difficult, but now he realized that it was quite challenging.
Where are your keys?
“Here it is!” Zhao Lian waved the key in her hand.
Song Wenjie took the keys and looked at them. The three keys were made of brass and looked quite unique.
Zhao Lian shook her head: "It's no use. I've studied it. As soon as these gold and silver jewels are moved, the roof of this house will immediately shake."
Song Wenjie carefully examined the iron frame from above, not missing a single corner. Suddenly, he seemed to see something and quickly and carefully rubbed the iron frame.
"Come here and see what this is?"
Zhao Lian went over and noticed a small arrow. The two of them quickly examined it carefully and found that three of the four corners of the iron frame had arrow markings.
What does this arrow represent?
The two of them stared blankly into space.
"Zhaolian, think again, has the Princess ever said anything to you?"
Zhao Lian carefully recalled her conversation with the princess, but it seemed there was nothing particularly special about it.
"Oh, right! She did say something like that all three keys must be inserted at the same time."
"Let's give it a try!"
"There has to be a keyhole! Otherwise, where would you insert it?" Zhao Lian was speechless.
Song Wenjie refused to believe it and began to search carefully on the iron frame again.
But after searching high and low, they found nothing except those three arrows.
It seems the answer must lie on these three arrows.
Song Wenjie began to examine the arrowhead again. Suddenly, he seemed to discover something.
I rubbed the arrow with my hand and found that it had an edge line, as if it had been pasted on.
Song Wenjie started trying to pry it off with his fingers, and to his surprise, he made a new discovery: the arrow-shaped lettering could indeed be torn off.
The arrow at the top has been torn off, revealing a keyhole underneath.
This new discovery immediately delighted the two of them. Zhao Lian began to tear off the other arrowheads as well.
The three arrows have three keyholes, and each key corresponds to one keyhole.
"Let's try it with the key!" Zhao Lian's eyes sparkled, eager to try.
Song Wenjie said with a serious expression, "No, let's do it tomorrow. We can wait for Magistrate Feng to come in then."
Moving such a large amount of gold and silver jewelry is no small matter. Moreover, he also has to be wary of the stone door; if anything happens, he might not be able to get out.
"Alright! We'll do it your way!"
Thinking that it was getting late, the two left the tunnel and walked out of the old house.
That night, Zhao Lian tidied up her house and stayed there with Song Wenjie.
That night, Zhao Lian slept very soundly because she had returned to her own home and discovered the secret to unlocking the jewel.
Unlike Zhao Lian, Song Wenjie tossed and turned in bed.
Fearing that the gold and silver jewelry would be discovered, he had to be on guard against anyone going to the old house at the slightest sign of trouble, and he didn't fall asleep until almost dawn.
Song Wenjie had a beautiful dream. In the dream, he was holding Zhao Lian in his arms, and the two of them were riding on the same horse. Zhao Lian would turn around from time to time and give him a sweet smile, and the love in her eyes was overflowing.
Looking at those warm, plump lips before him, Song Wenjie's heart fluttered. Just as he was about to kiss them, he was suddenly pushed.
"Hey! Wake up! Wake up!"
"Hey, stop making noise!"
Just as he was about to kiss Zhaolian in his dream, Song Wenjie was suddenly woken up by someone, and only then did he realize that it was all a dream.
He was immediately furious and about to curse when Zhao Lian stood in front of his bed with a half-smile on her face, pushing him with a scabbard in her hand.
Song Wenjie's face flushed, and he quickly sat up.
"Brother, were you having a sweet dream just now? You were drooling!" Zhao Lian teased him.
"No way, don't talk nonsense!"
Song Wenjie's face immediately turned red, and he subconsciously wiped his mouth before realizing that Zhao Lian had lied to him. His face turned green.
I don’t know when Zhao Lian started standing here, and I don’t know if I was talking in my sleep just now.
"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you!" Zhao Lian said, her smile fading. "It's getting late, Magistrate Feng and the others are waiting outside!"
"Wow, how come they moved so fast?"
Song Wenjie was still a little incredulous that Magistrate Feng and his men had already arrived.
When he stepped out of the room, he realized that Zhao Lian had not lied to him; Magistrate Feng and the dozens of men he had brought were waiting in the courtyard.
Besides, there were some yamen runners and a dozen carriages parked outside. It seemed that everything was arranged and they were just waiting to move the jewels out.
Song Wenjie smiled and said, "Lord Feng, you're quick!"
Feng De bowed with both hands: "Admiral Song, of course. The Emperor has instructed me, and I dare not be negligent in the slightest. I will do my best to cooperate."
A few days ago, he received an 800-li express letter from the Emperor, which gave a general overview of the situation.
