The Chen Mansion was not as big as those of the officials in the capital. It was just a house with three entrances and exits, and the backyard was through a small garden.
On the left side of the backyard is a tiled house built with green bricks. It is about the size of five or six bedrooms and is surrounded by tall small windows.
Chu Chenyin recognized it as the granary at a glance.
She strode to the door of the granary and saw five large locks on it.
This County Magistrate Chen would detain people for anything except being locked up, which shows how much he values his food.
"It seems that the granary is here." Chu Chenyin stood up and turned to say to Fu Yanting.
Fu Yanting strode over, drew a long sword from his arms and chopped directly at the five large locks.
The sword in his hand is a famous sword that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is extremely sharp and can cut through iron like mud.
As the sword swung down, there was a loud clang, and five large locks fell to the ground together.
Chu Chenyin bent down and picked up the broken lock on the ground. Seeing the wooden core inside the lock, he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Chen is really stingy. He was reluctant to use copper to make locks, but made these fake ones to scare people."
Fu Yanting walked up to her and pushed open the door. A faint aroma of rice wafted in from inside.
Chu Chenyin followed behind her and walked slowly inside.
Unlike the bags of grain piled together in the Fu and Chu families before, the grain in this warehouse was actually piled up into mountains of white rice grains.
The granary is not big, but it is very high, more than ten meters high. There are two mountains inside, one is rice mountain and the other is noodles mountain.
When the door of the warehouse is opened, you can see the white flour blowing in the wind.
Chu Chenyin craned his neck to look up at the tall mountain of rice and was momentarily shocked.
Next to the two rice mountains there is a bamboo chair and a rattan table. On the table is a used teacup with tea in it, indicating that someone had drunk tea here not long ago.
Chu Chenyin picked up the teacup and exclaimed, "Mr. Chen's hobby is really unique. He sits in his house every day and looks at the mountains of rice and noodles."
"There is also a mountain of gold." Fu Yanting walked to the other end of the granary and pushed open another door.
As the door opened, a golden light shone on Chu Chenyin's face.
Chu Chenyin looked up and saw a mountain of gold inside the door. Although it was only five or six meters high, it was still very shocking.
Chu Chenyin raised his eyes slightly, strode to the golden mountain, gently touched the golden bricks, and said slowly: "This trip was not in vain."
Fu Yanting also reached out and gently touched the golden bricks, saying slowly, "There is nothing in the storehouse except gold. It seems that County Magistrate Chen has exchanged all the property in his family for golden bricks and piled them into a mountain of gold for his own enjoyment."
Chu Chenyin raised his eyes and sneered, "He really lives a life of luxury, but his good days are over."
She dropped the flower, placed her palm on the gold, closed her eyes and recited silently.
