Half an hour later!
Shen Lang, Jin Hui, and jin zhong, led a hundred horsemen from Earl's mansion, and galloped away with Xu Wenzhao.
Then, Xu Wenzhao's face turned paler and paler, and his body trembled more and more.
Finally, a group of cavalry stopped in a remote valley.
There was nothing here except a stone sentry, and it was half deserted.
"Come down, Mr. Xu Wenzhao." Shen Lang said lightly.
At this point, Xu Wenzhao was completely unable to walk, his legs were as limp as boiled noodles.
This picture looks familiar. The name of the people?
Two Earl's mansion warriors brought him down directly.
"You should know this place very well. It's nothing to others, but it's really the most important thing to you." Shen lang said, "I'm not wrong, Mr. Xu Wenzhao."
Xu Wenzhao could hardly breathe, but he still said, "I... I don't know what you're talking about."
He was stubborn even when he was dying.
A hundred horsemen were immediately stationed around them. Jin Zhong, Jin Hui, and a dozen warriors entered the deserted post together.
"Bang!"
He kicked the door open and a dark figure darted out, trying to escape.
Jin Hui was a master. How could he run away? He grabbed his neck and lifted it up.
"Whoosh!"
A poisonous arrow shot out of the dark figure's sleeve.
Jin Hui quickly used his arm to block the arrow. There was a small shield on top of it, which sent the arrow flying.
Then, he struck like lightning and easily broke all the hands and feet of the shadow.
"Kacha, kacha..."
"Ah..." The man in black let out an extremely mournful howl.
"No..." Xu Wenzhao also let out a mournful cry.
Jin Hui stepped forward and yanked off the black man's mask, revealing a face full of fear and hatred.
It looks familiar. It's Xu Wenzhao's son, xu tian.
"This sentry is deserted. What are you doing here?" Jin Zhong asked.
"Do you care about me?" Xu tianhan said in a voice, "Can't I play here?"
Shen lang said, "Don't talk nonsense to him. There are hidden doors under the ground. Dig them out."
More than a dozen warriors stepped forward and struck. They did not know where the secret door was or where the mechanism was.
However, just dig three feet into the ground.
After more than half of it disappeared, the ground in the deserted outpost was dug more than two feet.
Sure enough, a secret door appeared on the ground with a huge iron lock hanging from it.
Jin Hui stepped forward and slashed.
As a result, the lock was fine and the knife broke.
"This lock is made of tungsten iron, and it can be cut with a knife." Shen lang said, "You must open it with a key. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Xu Wenzhao must have brought this key with him."
Immediately, Xu Wenzhao began to struggle desperately.
Jin Zhong went forward and searched his entire body for the key.
However, he pulled out Xu Wenzhao's hairpin and found it especially heavy. He yanked it.
The outer shell was ripped off, revealing the shape of the key.
This xu wenzhao was really scheming to change the key to the vault into a hairpin.
Jin Zhong took the key and, as expected, opened the incomparably strong black lock and retreated from the extremely heavy door.
This door was actually made of iron.
Xu Wenzhao really paid for it.
After opening the door, a step appeared, extending to the ground.
There was indeed an underground chamber.
Jin Zhong, Jin Hui led Xu Wenzhao down the steps and into the underground chamber.
It was so dark that nothing could be seen.
Jin zhong lit the torch directly with a torch.
Then...
All the people present were stunned.
It was golden, all gold coins!
The shelves in this small secret room were filled with all kinds of boxes, full of gold coins.
Not only that, but also all kinds of jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and painting.
It's a treasure trove.
I didn't expect that Xu Wenzhao, a steward of Earl's mansion, had embezzled so much in more than twenty years.
Jin Zhong and Jin Hui were really angry.
Xu Wenzhao! Xu Wenzhao!
If the old count had not taken you in as a distant relative of his wife, you would have been a poor scholar.
If the old earl hadn't offered you a place to study, how would you have gotten into the academy?
How can you be proficient in arithmetic?
Your clothes and food, your house, your wife and children, everything you have from Earl's mansion.
Is this how you repay Count xuanwu's mansion?
A dog with a wolf's heart is worse than a beast!
Shen Lang found an account book on the shelf. It was all Xu Wenzhao's corrupt diary.
When and how much was embezzled, it was clear to me.
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Mr. Xu Wenzhao, the evidence is solid now. Is it solid?"
"Ho... Ho..." Xu Wenzhao gasped for breath, completely speechless.
He could not stand at all and collapsed to the ground.
But there was one thing he couldn't reconcile with. The secret vault was a top secret location. Even his Xu Wenzhao wife didn't know how Shen Lang would know?
Xu Wenzhao hissed, "Shen Lang, I didn't tell anyone about the location of this vault. How did you know?"
Not only Xu Wenzhao, but even jin zhong Jin Hui was puzzled.
This chamber of gold is completely confidential. Why would Shen Lang know?
Shen Lang sneered, "Xu Wenzhao, you're too greedy. You even have to ask Earl's mansion to pay for the treasury. Nine years ago, you lost 20,000 catties of iron and bought 25 catties of tungsten iron in your account book, and this was the only abandoned outpost in those years. Of course, this deserted outpost used more than 130 manpower, saying that it was demolished inside and outside the outpost. You think everyone is a fool."
"You idiot, you even told me the secret location of the vault in the ledger."
Jin Zhong and Jin Hui were genuinely impressed.
Shen Lang was so smart to directly determine the location of Xu Wenzhao's gold deposit from these clues.
Xu Wenzhao went crazy and pointed at Shen Lang and hissed, "Are you a man or a ghost? Are you a man or a ghost?"
"Take all the gold coins and treasures back to Earl's mansion, and take Xu Wenzhao, the scum, back with you." Shen Lang ordered.
"Yes!" Jin Zhong pulled Xu Wenzhao straight back.
Xu Wenzhao's eldest son, xu tian, had both hands and feet broken and collapsed on the ground. His eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Shen Lang.
Shen lang said, "This man was killed and his head was cut off."
Xu tian was shocked and hissed, "How dare you? Under the new policy of Yue kingdom, the local nobles had no right to deal with their subordinates, and they had no right to kill them!"
Shen Lang sneered, "Idiot, kill you here. Who will know? The body is burnt to ashes, scattered into the sea, and evaporated from the earth."
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 stunned and handed the knife to Shen Lang.
Then, Jin Hui, a master, pressed xu tian down hard to stop him from struggling.
Shen Lang took a sharp knife, touched xu tian's neck, pressed it, and then gently scratched it.
Jin Hui's eyes twitched.
Eh? Why does Uncle feel more skilled than me in cutting people?
...
The whole convoy returned with a full load.
When the earl saw the gold coins, the jewels, and the antiques, he was filled with both surprise and sorrow.
He was doubting himself.
Did I really do something wrong?
I was so tolerant, I actually raised such a white-eyed wolf.
Am I just a confused lord?
If it weren't for his son-in-law, Shen Lang, Xu Wenzhao, the big moth, would have been out of jail for a long time and would have taken away so much of the cream of the people from Earl's mansion.
Good son-in-law, good son-in-law!
Thanks to Shen Lang, he saved Earl's mansion so much.
Thanks to Shen Lang, Earl's mansion's current financial crisis could be alleviated.
The earl looked at Shen Lang and said nothing.
Because they were family members, it was too obvious to say thank you.
Then, the earl looked at Xu Wenzhao with cold eyes and said word for word, "Xu Wenzhao, what do you have to say now?"
Xu Wenzhao's body trembled, then he suddenly knelt on the ground and walked over, hugging the count's legs and saying, "My lord, it's all my fault. It's all my fault. Please don't be angry and ruin your body."
The count kicked him away with a violent kick and said sternly, "Stop acting. I am really blind. I have always trusted you and valued you. I didn't expect people to be so evil."
Xu Wenzhao knelt down and crawled over, hugging the earl's legs and wailing, "Lord, please spare my life, for the sake of my old master, for the sake of my wife, and for the sake of my loyalty and loyalty for more than twenty years."
The count kicked him away again.
He was really heartbroken.
Xu Wenzhao knelt down in front of Shen Lang again and kowtowed, crying and pleading, "Uncle, it's all my fault that Xu Wenzhao is blind and doesn't know how to offend you. I'm too stupid. I'm heartless. Please forgive me for my old age. Please, please, please."
"Uncle, as long as you spare my life, from now on I will be a cow and a horse for you, a pig and a dog!"
