After half an hour!
Shen Lang, Jin Hui, and Jin Zhong led a hundred cavalry from the Earl's Mansion, and escorted Xu Wenzhao towards a certain place.
Then, Xu Wenzhao's face became paler and his body trembled more and more.
Finally, a group of cavalry stopped in a remote valley.
There is nothing here, just a stone sentry post, and it is half deserted.
"Come down, Mr. Xu Wenzhao." Shen Lang said lightly.
At this time, Xu Wenzhao could not walk at all, and his legs were as limp as boiled noodles.
This picture looks familiar, the otherworldly "In the Name of the People"
The two Earl's Palace warriors directly lifted him down.
"This place should be very familiar to you. To other people, this place is not worth mentioning, but it is indeed the most important to you." Shen Lang said, "I'm not wrong, Mr. Xu Wenzhao."
Xu Wenzhao could barely breathe, but he still insisted, "I... I don't know what you're talking about."
He was stubborn when he was about to die.
A hundred cavalry immediately set up defenses around, and Jin Zhong, Jin Hui, and a dozen warriors entered the deserted guard post together.
"boom!"
Kicking the door open, a black figure rushed out, trying to escape.
Jin Hui is a master, how could he let him run away, he easily grabbed his neck and lifted him up suddenly.
"Whoosh!"
A poisoned arrow shot out of the shadow's sleeve.
Jin Hui quickly used his arm to block it, with a small shield on it, and directly knocked the poisonous arrow out.
Then, he shot like lightning, breaking off all the hands and feet of the black shadow with ease.
"Crack, click..."
"Ah..." the man in black let out an extremely miserable howl.
"No..." Xu Wenzhao also cried out.
Jin Hui stepped forward and yanked off the mask of the man in black, revealing a face full of fear and hatred.
It looks familiar, it is Xu Tian, Xu Wenzhao's son.
"This guard post has been deserted, what are you doing here?" Jin Zhong asked.
"You care about me?" Xu Tian said coldly, "I'm here to play, can't I?"
Shen Lang said: "Don't talk nonsense with him, there is a secret door underground here, dig it out."
More than a dozen warriors stepped forward to do it. They didn't know where the secret door was or where the mechanism was.
However, it is enough to dig three feet directly into the ground.
After more than half of them disappeared, the ground in this deserted outpost was dug by more than two feet.
Sure enough, a secret door appeared on the ground with a huge iron lock hanging on it.
Jin Hui stepped forward and slashed down.
As a result, the iron lock was fine, but the knife broke directly.
"This lock is made of tungsten iron, and it can't be cut with a knife." Shen Lang said: "It must be opened with a key. If I guessed correctly, Mr. Xu Wenzhao must have brought this key with him."
Immediately, Xu Wenzhao began to struggle desperately.
Jin Zhong stepped forward and searched all over the body but couldn't find the key.
However, he pulled out Xu Wenzhao's hairpin and found that You Qi was heavy, so he pulled it violently.
After the outer shell was torn off, the shape of a key was revealed.
This Xu Wenzhao is really deliberate, he turned the vault key into a hairpin.
Taking the key, Jin Zhong unlocked the incomparably strong black lock and backed away from the extremely heavy door.
This door was actually made of iron.
Xu Wenzhao really spent a lot of money.
After pushing the door open, a step appeared, extending to the ground.
Sure enough, there is an underground secret room here.
Jin Zhong and Jin Hui escorted Xu Wenzhao down the steps and into the underground secret room.
It's pitch black and you can't see anything.
Jin Zhong directly lit the torch with a torch.
Then…
All the people present were stunned.
It's so golden, it's all gold coins!
The shelves in this small secret room are filled with all kinds of boxes, all of which are gold coins.
Not only that, but also all kinds of jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and so on.
It is simply a treasure trove.
I really didn't expect that Xu Wenzhao, a steward of the Earl's Mansion, would embezzle so much in more than twenty years.
Jin Zhong and Jin Hui were really angry.
Xu Wenzhao, oh Xu Wenzhao!
If the old earl hadn't taken you in because he saw that you were a distant relative of his wife, you would have been a poor and poor scholar.
If it wasn't for the old earl to help you study, how would you pass the examination as a scholar
How can you be good at arithmetic.
Your food and clothing, your house, your wife and children, everything you have is given by the Earl's House.
Is this how you repay the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion
A wolf with a dog's lungs is not as good as a beast!
Shen Lang found an account book on the shelf, it was Xu Wenzhao's corruption diary.
When and how much was embezzled, I fully remember it clearly.
Shen Lang said with a smile: "Mr. Xu Wenzhao, now the evidence is solid, is the evidence solid?"
"Ho... ho..." Xu Wenzhao gasped desperately, unable to speak at all.
He couldn't stand at all, and fell limp on the ground.
But there is one thing he is not reconciled to. The location of this secret vault is top secret, even Xu Wenzhao's wife doesn't know about it, how could Shen Lang know
Xu Wenzhao hissed, "Shen Lang, I didn't tell anyone the location of my hidden gold chamber, how did you know?"
Not only Xu Wenzhao, but even Jin Zhong and Jin Hui were puzzled.
This hidden gold chamber is completely top secret, why would Shen Lang know about it
Shen Lang sneered and said: "Xu Wenzhao, you are too greedy, even the earl's mansion has to pay for the construction of the treasury. In the account book nine years ago, you lost 20,000 catties of iron and bought 25 catties of iron. Tungsten iron, and this is the only outpost that was abandoned in those few years. But this abandoned outpost has used more than 130 manpower to demolish the inside and outside of the outpost. You think everyone is a fool. "
"You idiot, you even told me the secret location of the treasury in the ledger."
As soon as these words came out, Jin Zhong and Jin Hui sincerely admired them.
From these clues, Shen Lang directly judged the location of Xu Wenzhao's gold stash, he is really clever.
Xu Wenzhao was about to go crazy, pointed at Shen Lang and hissed, "Are you a human or a ghost, are you a human or a ghost?"
"Take all the gold coins and treasures back to the Earl's Mansion, and bring back Xu Wenzhao, a scumbag." Shen Lang ordered.
"Yes!" Jin Zhong directly pulled Xu Wenzhao back.
Xu Wenzhao's eldest son, Xu Tian, had his hands and feet broken, and collapsed on the ground, looking at Shen Lang with hatred.
Shen Lang said: "This person was killed, his head was cut off."
Xu Tian was taken aback, and hissed, "How dare you? With the New Deal of the Yue Kingdom, the local nobles have no right to dispose of subordinate officials, let alone kill them!"
Shen Lang sneered and said, "Silly, who would know if I killed you here? The body was burned to ashes, scattered into the sea, and evaporated."
Jin Hui stepped forward and was about to cut off Xu Tian's head.
Shen Lang suddenly said: "Why don't I try?"
Jin Hui was startled, then handed the knife to Shen Lang.
Then, the expert Jin Hui pressed Xu Tian hard to prevent him from struggling.
Holding a sharp knife, Shen Lang touched Xu Tian's neck, pressed it, and then stroked it lightly.
Jin Hui's eyes twitched.
Huh? Why do you feel that my uncle is more skilled than me in all these postures
…
The whole team returned with a full load.
When the Earl saw these gold coins, these jewels and antiques, he was full of surprises of lost and found, but also full of infinite pain.
He is doubting himself.
Am I really doing something wrong
I treat people so tolerantly that I have raised such a white-eyed wolf.
Am I just a foolish lord
If it weren't for his son-in-law Shen Lang, Xu Wenzhao, a big moth, would have to be at large, and how many people would be stolen from the Earl's mansion.
Good son-in-law, good son-in-law!
Thanks to Shen Lang, such a big loss was recovered for the Earl's Mansion.
Thanks to Shen Lang, the current financial crisis of the Earl's Mansion can be eased.
The Earl looked at Shen Lang, but he didn't say a thousand words.
Because they are relatives of my own family, it would be too extravagant to say thank you.
Then, the Earl looked at Xu Wenzhao with a cold gaze, and said word by word: "Xu Wenzhao, what else do you have to say now?"
Xu Wenzhao's body trembled, then he knelt on the ground suddenly, walked over on his knees, embraced the earl's legs and said: "My lord, it's all my fault that lard has deceived my heart, all mistakes are my fault, you must not Don't get mad at your body."
The Earl kicked him away abruptly, and said sharply, "You don't want to act anymore. I'm really blind, but I have always trusted you and reused you. I didn't expect that people's hearts can be so dangerous."
Xu Wenzhao knelt and crawled over again, hugged the earl's legs, and wailed loudly, "My lord, please forgive me, for the old master's sake, for my wife's sake, and for my second son's sake." For the sake of being loyal for more than ten years, please spare my dog's life."
The Earl kicked him away violently.
He was completely heartbroken.
Xu Wenzhao knelt down in front of Shen Lang again, kowtowed desperately, wept and begged: "Guye, it's all my fault that Xu Wenzhao was blind, and I offended you because I didn't know Mount Tai. I'm so stupid, I'm a wolf, please look at me For the sake of my old age, please spare my humble life, please, please."
"Uncle, as long as you spare my dog's life, I will be your cow, horse, pig and dog from now on!"
