Chapter 295 Why do you favor girls over boys?
The kids said they had found a place to pick up money, and Wang Ersheng believed it. He always took kids' words to heart.
Even if he was wrong, it was okay. He had plenty of places to make money. At worst, he could just come back a second time.
So, Wang Ersheng once again accepted his fate and carried the three kids on his shoulders, running across the roof as light as a swallow, with a few dark shadows following far behind him.
Pei Yi had already gotten the general location out of Wang Gungun by the afternoon, so he could sense it as long as he got nearby.
Soon, he noticed something strange and looked down.
The Minister of Revenue had been an official for many years and was extremely cunning. The treasury was not located in his mansion, but in an unexpected place, the only brightly lit place in Yanjing - Huajie.
This is the lowest-class brothel here - Hehuan Pavilion.
There are few people here during the day, but they are crowded at night. It is dedicated to receiving those guests who want to have fun but are reluctant to spend money.
Wang Ersheng listened to the chorus of countless birds, and his expression instantly became extremely wonderful. He looked at the three little ones who looked normal, and quickly returned to his calm demeanor.
He confirmed again, "Ayi, is the warehouse you mentioned really here?"
Pei Yi sensed it for a moment, then pointed to the firewood room behind the brothel and said, "Uncle Wang, that's the entrance to the warehouse."
Wang Ersheng looked over and saw a lame old man pacing back and forth in the yard. He exclaimed, "It seems that what Ayi said is right. There is indeed something strange here. They even found a martial artist to guard here. This is going to be difficult to deal with."
Xiao Yining looked at the couple hugging each other below and felt that the situation was difficult.
This Minister of Revenue really knows how to find a place. There is no one here during the day, so if there are thieves, they will definitely not escape his sight. And there are so many people here at night, so if a thief appears, he will not be able to take anything away.
Miaoer, it’s wonderful!
However, no matter how clever it is, it cannot compare to simple and crude means.
Wang Ersheng jumped directly behind the lame old man, knocked him unconscious, and dragged him into the woodshed. He also carried the three children inside, so fast that no one noticed.
He muttered "trouble" and began to look for the entrance to the warehouse in a very professional manner.
"I'm afraid the things here can't be seen in public, so we have to pick them out carefully." Wang Ersheng frowned and gave an instruction, and then he heard a "click" and a dark secret passage appeared in front of the four people.
Wang Gungun's eyes lit up, and he immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "Grandpa, you are awesome."
Xiao Yining also quickly bent down to look inside. It was pitch black, far less shocking than the vault he had seen last time.
"Grandpa, we can't see it!" she said with a pout.
Wang Ersheng chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa is here."
As he said that, he started to touch his body again.
At this time, Pei Yi had already walked down the secret passage. He looked at the small box placed alone on the stairs with confusion, then reached out to open it, and the secret passage immediately became extremely bright.
At this time, Wang Ersheng had just lit the fire.
Little Yining kindly reminded him, "Grandpa, it's bright inside."
Wang Ersheng: …
Xiao Yining had never expected that she would encounter an object she had seen on TV here - the night-shining pearl. Pei Yi opened a total of twenty boxes of night-shining pearls, making this underground warehouse bright as day.
It also exposes the contents inside to everyone.
Xiao Yining immediately took back what he had just said, and his low-key and casual performance made a greater impact.
She couldn't help but open her mouth and said, "Grandpa, we have entered the treasure land!"
Compared with this vault, the previous one was really mediocre. Apart from large pieces of gold, there were only some small and valuable items. Gold was probably the least valuable thing here.
Little Yining carefully looked at the red coral mountain potted plant placed in the front. It was carved from a huge piece of jade and inlaid with countless sparkling gems.
She widened her eyes and looked around. Various exquisite jade carvings were placed randomly, covered with a thick layer of dust, which showed that the owner of this place didn't care at all.
Pei Yi also opened a few boxes, two each of which contained calligraphy and paintings, and two of which contained inkstones, and the rest were jewelry.
He couldn't help wondering, "Where did this person collect all these? There are too many."
"It's possible that they got it during a house search." Wang Ersheng guessed nonchalantly.
He pointed at the boxes and continued, "Last year, the emperor executed many officials and raided their houses. There is an unwritten rule for raiding their houses, which states that 20% of the proceeds will be concealed and distributed to the officials. But here, I guess some more was concealed when the money was recorded. This raiding of houses is a lucrative business."
Wang Ersheng drank with people from the Ministry of War every day, so he had heard about these things.
"Grandpa, it could also be corruption." Little Yining picked up a golden cicada carved from jade. The whole body was smooth and white, with a thin golden leaf attached to the bottom.
At the same time, a voice was heard outside, agreeing with Xiao Yining's words, "If we can get these things by confiscating the houses, I will probably search the mansions of my subjects one by one."
Sheng Jingchen arrived at some point. He slowly walked down the stairs, glanced around casually, and a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Little Yining looked at him in surprise, and immediately ran over to flatter him, "Uncle, you are amazing. My grandfather spent countless days searching for the treasure, and you found it in just one go."
Sheng Jingchen chuckled, but did not expose her. He bent down and picked her up, "I am not powerful. I just came here for a leisurely stroll and took a look at what things that are better than those in my private storehouse look like. I didn't expect that my Minister of Finance is really good. Today I have opened my eyes."
The last sentence was so cold and chilling that Xiao Yining immediately knew what it felt like to have murderous intent blowing in his face.
Wang Ersheng rolled his eyes and continued to pick and choose in the warehouse. After passing the clear road, he could get more for his daughter.
Xiao Yining also understood that it was his fellow villagers who had passed the message in advance. In fact, what they did was done openly under the emperor's nose. As soon as they arrived at the place, he would know the news.
However, she still had to cooperate and say, "Uncle, you are here to see beauties. The sisters in Huichunlou are the most beautiful and the food is delicious."
Sheng Jingchen raised his eyebrows and looked at her with amusement, "No matter how beautiful a beauty is, she is not as beautiful as my beloved concubine."
Beloved concubine?
As everyone knows, Pei Dafu is the only one who can be called her uncle's beloved concubine.
Little Yining's eyes showed a mysterious look, and the little man in her mind also began to look for a sweet story with two male protagonists.
Sheng Jingchen put the kid back on the ground and glared at the other kid.
Wang Gungun immediately fell to the ground, dropping all the gold cakes he had just collected to the ground. He shouted, "Long live the emperor!"
"Well, get up!" Sheng Jingchen bent down to pick up the golden cake, took a look at it, and said in a deep voice, "Little ghost, you can't take this thing, take something else!"
After saying this, he casually threw the golden cake onto the ground, took little Yining’s hand and walked towards the back of the storeroom, leaving the little kid crying silently as if struck by lightning.
Pei Dafu, who was following behind, glanced at the stupid kid and said, "If you want to take it, take the ones without labels."
Wang Gungun nodded and picked up the silver with great pain. The only thing that couldn't be seen here was the silver.
The things that the Minister of Revenue had collected were indeed many, and little Yining was dazzled by them. She couldn't help but sigh, "Uncle, no wonder his family bought a painting for 5000 taels without blinking an eye, he is really rich."
Sheng Jingchen hummed lightly, and the curve of his mouth became deeper and deeper.
"Miss, you are wrong. Our Minister of Revenue doesn't have much money. He is an honest official who lives on his salary." Pei Dafu stepped forward and said softly.
"The things here are probably left behind by a corrupt official from the previous dynasty. The gold cake just now was something that was circulated in the previous dynasty."
Little Yining immediately responded cleverly, "Then everything here belongs to my uncle. Congratulations to my uncle for finding the treasure left behind by the previous dynasty!"
Sheng Jingchen looked at this clever little kid and suddenly felt happy. He patted her little head and said, "Qingjie, go back with your grandpa first. When your uncle has finished taking inventory of the things here, he will melt the gold cake and give it to you."
Wang Gungun: ...
Tonight, Xiao Yining took nothing, but got the most.
Happy~( ̄▽ ̄~)~
