While he was pondering, Jedi had already arrived at the entrance of a courtyard house in the East District, following his directions.
After putting away the Desperate Situation, Gu Yunyang went inside and first took a stroll around the courtyard.
Sure enough, there was a box under this persimmon tree.
Gu Yunyang took out a shovel and began digging.
The excavated soil was first stored in the base space. After digging about a meter, the box was found.
Gu Yunyang reached out and touched the box, then put it away.
"There are four boxes in total, that's quite a lot. Two boxes of large yellow croaker, one box of small yellow croaker, and one box of jadeite rough stones, all with good clarity. The quality is also very high."
Gu Yunyang was very happy. He had used up most of the large yellow croakers he had obtained when he opened up the base space.
This time, some more information was added.
"That's good. Oh? There's more down there."
Is this really true, like a cunning rabbit having three burrows?
After digging another meter, Gu Yunyang collected three more boxes.
A box of large yellow croakers, a box of jade pendants and ornaments, jade Buddhas, etc., are all finished products, all crafted by master craftsmen.
"The Gu family has a sharp eye. These things are all very valuable."
There was another box left, which contained a number of books, mostly on traditional Chinese medicine, including many books on medicine making, which recorded numerous prescriptions.
Gu Yunyang, delighted at the sight of his prey, put it away.
After filling the hole, Gu Yunyang went inside the house.
I went to both the first and second floors and took away some of the furniture that was hidden inside.
“I was wondering how the Gu family could have so many things hidden away without good furniture. Here it is! A complete set of huanghuali furniture. We’ll put it all away and use it later. It’s quite nice.”
It's still early in the year, and the beautiful patterns on the furniture haven't been scratched off, so it's not bad.
Gu Yunyang put everything away. He didn't find anything in the upstairs rooms, and there didn't seem to be anything else on the first floor besides the furniture.
However, when passing through the next room, Gu Yunyang's spatial ability detected a hollow area.
After some attempts, they finally opened a mechanism, revealing a downward passage.
Gu Yunyang waited for a while, until the air filled the space, before carefully walking down.
"There's even a cellar hidden here. People usually use it to store potatoes and cabbages. The Gu family has certainly hidden quite a few things here."
There were more than a dozen large boxes, more than the ones hidden under the persimmon tree in the yard.
Inside a large box were many large croakers, and below them were some large yellow croakers.
"These 'big unity' notes must amount to over 50,000, right?"
He almost missed it, but luckily he remembered Gu Anshun, went there, and found the property deed.
Otherwise, you'll really miss out.
That would be too heartbreaking.
After looting the place, Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and then restored the mechanism.
Gu Yunyang planned to go back and check what was in the remaining boxes.
"This Gu Anning must have plundered quite a bit during the war years. He really hid it all well."
In the original owner's memories, these things had never been discovered.
It wasn't until after the reform and opening up that Gu Anning's family suddenly became very wealthy.
I suppose this is the fortune I've been waiting for.
Gu Yunyang thought for a moment, and this time he did not summon the Jedi. Instead, he took his bicycle, drove around a few streets, and found a black market.
Gu Yunyang first went to a secluded spot, disguised himself as a middle-aged man, and then carried a basket of apples to the man guarding the black market. He whispered, "Good stuff, I'm looking for your boss."
As he spoke, he placed the basket in front of him, pulled back the cloth, and revealed the bright red apples underneath.
"This? Please wait a moment, I'll report it right away."
