Chapter 38 Discovering Old Jiang's Secret Treasure Trove



Jiang Mingda saw that most of the people had left.

He carefully avoided being seen by others, changed into a coarse cloth shirt, and put on a straw hat woven by Gu Meiyun. He walked through several streets and finally stopped in front of a secluded courtyard.

The house is registered under Baoquan's younger brother's name.

A private residence.

His small storeroom contained the gold.

He wouldn't come easily on ordinary days unless a large amount of gold and silver was needed, at which point he would come to collect it in person.

Jiang Mingda wasn't in a hurry to go in.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

It's past six o'clock.

It's dinnertime, and wisps of smoke are rising from the chimneys of the low houses.

He waited for a while.

No one passed by on either side, and no one was watching from a distance.

He was relieved.

Then, he took out his key from his pocket, unlocked the double-locked door, and went inside to bolt the door shut from the inside.

He wanted to give 50,000 yuan to Xiaoxian's family.

In addition, the marriage of his eldest son has been arranged, and they are just waiting for the betrothal gifts to be delivered. In addition to cash, he also needs to bring some gold jewelry and other items.

Although it was a marriage of convenience, now that one son is gone, the second son's share should be given to He Jun.

Time passed second by second.

He was carrying a large, heavy black backpack, which made walking difficult and his breathing heavy, but the thought of the important matter he was about to resolve gave him a sudden burst of energy.

Before leaving, he checked again to make sure no one was watching before hurriedly locking the door.

Fifteen minutes later.

Click.

Xu Manzhi squeezed the lock on the large iron gate so hard that it broke.

That's it?

Are you kidding me?

Xu Manzhi clicked her tongue, secretly admiring Jiang Mingda's audacity.

After she stepped inside, she released a handful of cockroaches she had caught and casually scattered them.

Wahaha.

Cockroaches are everywhere.

She whistled softly.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, the cockroach scaled the wall and transferred ownership without losing a single one.

Holy crap!

Xu Manzhi couldn't help but swear.

Is this house really full of money?

There's absolutely no mechanism here...

She relaxed a little, then walked to the gate in the courtyard, reached out and squeezed it, and the brass lock on it fell off mercilessly again.

This, this isn't good.

They're here to rob you, so give them a little challenge.

She stood in the room, and was hit by a musty smell and the smell of insects. The walls, wooden tables and chairs were covered with cobwebs and swarms of cockroaches.

The mice also passed by in groups.

She suddenly opened her eyes, clapped her hands and said, "Good, the old thief hid the money here. No wonder he's so bold. Most people wouldn't think of that."

It's unclear whether these words were sarcastic or complimentary.

A moment later, she walked to a wall, poked it hard with her five fingers, and pulled it off, revealing a large piece of wall inside, which was filled with gold and silver.

"Wow, I'm rich! I'm rich!"

Xu Manzhi clapped her hands happily.

She took out the aluminum box strapped to her waist, opened the lid, took a bite of the black flatbread, and the aroma attracted a group of greedy, skinny rats that squeaked incessantly.

Under the watchful eye of the mouse, she did not hesitate to close the lid.

Squeak~~

Xu Manzhi then went into the inner room.

This is a mourning hall with framed photos hanging on it. There are also a few sticks of incense sticks standing outside, and ashes from burning incense on the ground.

The room was covered with white silk fabric.

The whole place was gloomy and terrifying.

"Hmm, it's starting to look good." Xu Manzhi reached out and chopped down the wooden table in front of the mourning hall.

Splash.

The wooden table broke, and a large pile of coins engraved with human figures fell out.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be made of silver.

She has been cramming on cultural knowledge lately, has learned many characters, and has also skimmed through a few books on human history, so she has a general understanding of some common knowledge.

This should be... a silver dollar.

Goodness.

Jiang Mingda is really something, leaving her so many good treasures.

She should take them all.

However, none of these are the most important things.

She sniffed for a long time and could still faintly smell the scent of banknotes emanating from the bedroom; the cash must be inside.

Xu Manzhi then went into the bedroom.

She sniffed carefully again and again, finally stopping in front of a wooden cabinet.

There's something strange about this cabinet.

Instead of violently dismantling it, she searched around for the switch.

In a small corner, there was a small piece of metal, which she pressed down hard.

The wooden cabinet moved slowly.

Click, click, the cabinet was moving with great difficulty.

When she finally stopped moving completely, Xu Manzhi's eyes widened in shock.

Maya.

My trypophobia is about to flare up.

The walls were piled high with coins, various receipts, and small boxes. Opening one at random revealed an unknown old object inside.

That's heartless.

It's really dark.

But what if she really likes it?

The entire Jiang family worked together to save up such a large dowry for her...

Hehe.

That's awesome!

Now we're rich!

Ha ha ha ha.

Yan Lin, you wait, wait for me to come and marry you in a grand and impressive manner—

The once clear sky was suddenly hit by a torrential downpour.

In the middle of the night, the Jiang family's house was shrouded in rain.

The Jiang family's house was dark and gloomy, gloomy and lifeless.

Jiang and Jun returned home soaking wet.

As soon as he entered the house, he dropped his briefcase, kicked off his shoes, and strode to Jiang Mingda's room.

Jiang Mingda accomplished two major tasks.

He was preparing for his eldest son's wedding and was drafting the wedding program when he heard the noise and turned around to see Jiang Hejun looking disheveled.
