"Sir, someone must have deliberately set the fire. Traces of kerosene were found in the backyard, on the beams and pillars, in the kitchen, and elsewhere..."
After the flames were basically suppressed by various talismans, the corresponding detectives from the Six Gates immediately went to investigate internally.
Soon they came over with a few broken clay pots, with some unburned kerosene still inside.
After hearing such a report, the Jade-faced Fox cried even louder. The marks on her face caused by smoke and fire made her look even more fragile. Countless people who were watching secretly felt pity for her and wanted to hold her in their arms and comfort her in a soft voice.
Amidst the chaos around, someone suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Lord Wang is here!"
Amidst the exclamations, a figure in official robes came to the periphery.
The Jade-faced Fox immediately dropped the bronze medal of the Captain in his hand and threw himself into the arms of Lord Wang with his tearful body.
"My lord, make the decision for me, my lord!"
Zhang Mingtu watched coldly and had no intention of intervening.
The current situation is sufficient to maintain. With the people from the East Factory watching, these people from the Land of the Rising Sun will probably have to keep quiet for a long time. They dare not reveal any problems or have any clues.
After all, once these mad dogs from the East Factory bite someone, they will never let go, and the person will definitely be seriously injured. He can also stop and have more time to consider other things.
Seeing that the Jade-faced Fox was still pestering Lord Wang, he turned and went to the backyard where the Yihong Courtyard was located.
Zhang Mingtu was a first-rate person at concealing his aura. He also had several stealth talismans on him, so he went deep into the backyard, and then wandered around in the yard until he finally found an underground secret passage.
Soon Zhang Mingtu found what he was looking for.
In the basement of Yihong Building, there is a secret room that belongs exclusively to the Jade-faced Fox.
It implies that there are layers upon layers of formations surrounding it, which are enough to stop people below the Grandmaster level, and even if a Grandmaster level person doesn't pay attention, he won't be able to distinguish such a formation.
It can be said that in an area like Yihongyuan, having such a formation can basically guarantee that there will be no problems.
Who would carefully investigate while having fun in Yihongyuan, let alone investigate underground in Yihongyuan?
However, for Zhang Mingtu, who had prepared carefully, this formation was obviously too easy.
After thinking for a while, he did not break the formation directly, but chose to cut into the formation point and go directly into the formation.
When he walked into the depths of the magic circle, even with Zhang Mingtu's temperament, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Large boxes after large boxes were tightly sealed with various talismans, with categories written on them in Daxia's corresponding characters: spiritual stones, minerals, elixirs...
There are Peiyuan Dan, Huoxue Dan, Yijin Dan specially provided for those who are practicing marrow cleansing and blood exchange, as well as Jingyuan Dan for those who are practicing in the realm of Zhenqi.
There are a wide variety of things to see, which is overwhelming. However, the most abundant and eye-catching thing here is the large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry that are randomly placed.
Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but twitched his fingers as he looked at it. It's not like his future brothers haven't seen more wealth than him, in fact they have seen a lot, but for Zhang Mingtu, the existing wealth is indeed the most he has ever seen in his life.
"This silver is probably worth more than 100,000 taels, and the corresponding jewelry is also valuable, as well as various gold and silver..."
Zhang Mingtu made a rough estimate and was secretly shocked.
Some of the gold and silver had dark red bloodstains on them, clearly indicating they were dirty.
It is very likely that the treasures were looted by Japanese pirates during their invasion of the southeastern coastal areas. They were provided in batches to the heads of various regions of Daxia, who were asked to sell them in exchange for gold, silver, porcelain, and tea, which were then shipped overseas to become supplies for the Japanese pirates' attacks.
To exchange these stolen goods, areas like Yihongyuan are undoubtedly the most suitable place, after all, people from all over the world come here.
At the same time, Jiujiang County is a transportation hub and one of the most important ports. All kinds of goods can be sold here as long as you want.
Zhang Mingtu originally thought that the wealth accumulated here would not be too much. After all, this was just one of the many branch bases on the southeast coast, and it was not the most important base in the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
After noticing the suspicious points, he returned to investigate and found only this underground secret room. The wealth inside had been transferred away long ago, and he got nothing.
Looking back now, he felt that he had underestimated the Kingdom of the Rising Sun and the importance of Jiujiang County as a transportation hub.
After all, this is an important trade route center connecting the north and the south. All kinds of goods can be exchanged here, and perhaps a large amount of goods from the southeast coast are sold here.
So they have closer coastal cities, Yangzhou, Suzhou and Fuzhou are all places where they can trade.
However, the Japanese pirates were wreaking more havoc there, often looting merchant ships. The various stolen goods were recorded by the local government, making them difficult to sell.
Secondly, even if it is sold there, if someone is willing to take it over, the price will be pushed down to a very low level.
Instead, the relevant goods should be transported to Jiujiang County for sale, where the price can be higher and it will be less noticeable.
Although it is a bit troublesome to transport the goods from the coastal areas to Jiujiang County, the Kingdom of the Rising Sun is not without roots in the southeastern coastal areas. There are many small families that have close ties with them. It is reasonable and logical to use their merchant ships to transport the corresponding precious goods to Jiujiang County for sale.
"The problem is... there are so many, I can't take them all away!"
Zhang Mingtu felt like scratching his head.
