Chapter 478 A Family of纨绔 (Wán kù, a spoiled and dissolute family) Causes the Death of the Entire Court (31)
In this deep mountain forest, Jin Shou'an heard no fewer than a dozen wolf howls just on the short journey by carriage into the mountains.
When he was buying the house, someone reminded him that there were a lot of wolves in the mountains, and because the mountains were continuous and the resources were abundant, the wolves in the mountains were all fat and strong, and any one of them could be as big as a wolf king in other places.
It's not uncommon for wolves to eat people in the mountains. Many people go into the mountains to cut firewood, but if they encounter a pack of wolves, they will definitely not return.
“I remember our father sent a large force to hunt down the wolf pack, but in the end, more than a hundred soldiers went in for one night, and when they came out the next day, only a dozen or so were left.”
I've heard the wolves in these mountains are bigger than tigers. Even though our house is far from the mountains, if we encounter a pack of wolves, we're definitely doomed!
This is why Jin Shouan didn't want to come over in the middle of the night.
But worried that something might happen to Jin Shu, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come anyway.
Fortunately, we only heard wolf howls along the way, but didn't see any wolves.
Jin Shu knew all of this, of course.
She spent most of her life in the mountains; what wild animals hadn't she seen?
In the world she lived in back then, what were wolves? Wolf demons and tiger demons with thousands of years of cultivation would kneel down and call her their ancestors.
So all that Jin Shouan said didn't scare Jin Shu in the slightest; instead, it scared him half to death.
"What exactly happened? Let's resolve this as soon as possible and get back."
"Help me move some things out, use your carriage."
"What is it? Just send someone to transport it yourself, why do you make me come personally?"
"They're all inside. You'll see when you go in."
Jin Shouan yawned repeatedly and pushed open the door with a helpless expression.
"You're being so secretive. I want to see what kind of treasure is worth risking being eaten by wolves and coming all this way in the middle of the night..."
Why are there so many boxes? What's inside them?
As Jin Shouan spoke, he walked over and opened the box, glancing at it casually.
The next second.
"Bang--!!"
He slammed the box shut, stood there with wide eyes, and stared blankly for a moment before shaking his head, rubbing his eyes, and carefully opening the box again.
The next second, he covered his mouth, his eyes widened, staring intently at the contents of the box, then looked at Jin Shu, his voice so low that even he could barely hear it.
"What's this?"
"You're blind too? Gold."
"real?!!"
"real."
Jin Shouan didn't believe it, because he had never seen so much gold in his life, and each ingot was bigger than his palm.
He tried to pick up a piece of ingot to see if it was real or fake, but he couldn't lift it at all!
grass!!
It's really true!!
"Where did this come from? So much money, where did you get it?"
"Dug from the mountains."
"..."
Jin Shou'an tried to look away from the box of gold and then looked at Jin Shu.
"You've already sent me here, so don't joke with me. This place is full of gold. Where did you get all this gold from?!"
Even the Jin family couldn't produce such a large box of gold all at once!
Jin Shu sat down, leisurely poured herself a cup of tea, and slowly took a sip.
"It really was dug up from the mountains, why would I lie to you?"
"Where in the mountains did you dig this up from? How did you manage to find it? This is gold! How could it possibly be buried in the mountains!"
Jin Shu spoke calmly.
"Why is it impossible? I heard that before the fall of the previous Liang Dynasty, the emperor buried most of the treasures in the national treasury in these mountains."
I went out tonight to try my luck, and I actually found it.
Jin Shouan remained silent for a long time.
"Little sister, could you please not make it sound like digging into the former dynasty's treasury is easier than digging for wild vegetables in the mountains?"
This is the treasury of the previous dynasty!! Even the current emperor couldn't find it, and now you've found it so easily? And you even dug up this whole box...
"Wait, what's in these other boxes?"
Jin Shu sipped her tea with droopy eyelids.
"Just open it and you'll know."
So Jin Shouan opened all the boxes.
Gold, gold, gold, gold, and fucking gold.
He almost became immune to gold; he never imagined he would one day actually see a mountain of gold.
His sister fulfilled a wish that he couldn't even achieve in his dreams.
"I'm dizzy..."
Jin Shu gave him enough time to process what was happening before him.
"Have you calmed down? If you have, help me move this gold out while it's still dark."
"Little sister, who exactly are you?"
Jin Shouan had begun to doubt the true identity of the girl in front of him who looked exactly like his younger sister.
Jin Shu had already devised a solution to this situation.
So she listed all the bad things Jin Shouan had done from childhood to adulthood.
Do I need to repeat myself?
"No need, dear sister."
——
"Did you really dig this up in the mountains?"
"Well, where do you think they came from?"
Yes, where else could it have come from?
There must be some source for all this money, and Jin Shou'an really couldn't think of a more reliable reason than the previous dynasty's national treasury.
He doesn't believe it, but he has to believe it.
However, Jin Shu really didn't lie to him; these were indeed things she had brought from the previous dynasty's treasury.
Having memories of the original plot, she knew an important part of the story: that soon, Li Yong and Jin Chuyao would accidentally stumble into this dangerous forest.
Having narrowly escaped death, the two not only survived, but Li Yong also made rapid progress afterward, successfully ascending the throne and securing his position as emperor within just six months.
Based on Jin Shu's understanding of these novel plots, this dangerous forest was merely a game segment used by the male and female protagonists to enhance their relationship and advance the plot.
If you successfully complete the level, you will receive a reward.
Therefore, Jin Shu was certain that there were treasures in this mountain.
At this point, the experience gained from the previous worlds comes in handy.
In addition, Jin Shu was skilled in the art of geomancy, combining science and metaphysics. With two nights of stillness, Jin Shu discovered the secret of this mountain.
Indeed, monarchs of all dynasties followed a strict set of feng shui rules when choosing a site.
It's not just one's own tomb, but also the national treasury, which is related to the fate of the nation; they are all the same.
Having found the location, Jin Shu easily deciphered the mechanism at the entrance of the treasury using what she had learned, and successfully entered.
It was worth the time she spent; the final reward was quite substantial.
Countless gold and silver treasures were piled up underground, only to see the light of day again after many years.
Jin Shu has the ability to find the national treasury, but she definitely needs help to transport so many things out.
After careful consideration, Jin Shou'an is the best helper.
