A member of the Su family came over excitedly and said, "Feng Siyuan is quite cunning. He actually built a secret room under the pond and hid the entrance in the middle of the rockery. If no one had told us, we might not have found it."
Generally, when looking for underground spaces, people knock on the ground to listen for sounds, but who can knock on a pond?
Besides, it is not easy to build a secret room under the pond without being discovered.
"As expected of Lord Feng, he is indeed meticulous in his work."
Zhao Lin waved his hand and said, "Keep an eye on them. Let's go and take a look."
"grown ups!"
Qiao'er shouted quickly.
"I almost forgot about you. Give her a thousand taels of silver, and then free her from slavery and make her a free citizen. If she is willing to live in this city, give her a yard. If not, send someone to send her away." Zhao Lin ordered.
Qiao'er didn't agree, but kowtowed and said, "Please change the reward, sir."
Zhao Lin stopped and asked: "What do you want?"
Qiao Er mustered up her courage and said, "This servant wants the eldest master to die."
Everyone around was stunned.
Qiao'er cried, "I, I was born a good family. It was the eldest master who took a fancy to me, forced my parents to death, and forcibly took me into his mansion. I have no family, and my life is worse than death. I don't want money, I only ask that I take revenge with my own hands."
"Jin Qiaoer, you bitch!"
A man in the crowd at Feng Mansion cursed, "You saw that I was rich and took the initiative to get close to me. When did I ever force you?"
"I can prove that it was the young master who forced me to do it."
A maid suddenly ran out and knelt beside Jin Qiao'er: "My lord, my lord, the young master is not a human being. Any woman he sets his eyes on can't escape. If you are obedient, you can still live. If you are disobedient, he will toy with you and beat you to death, or sell you to a brothel to be a prostitute."
Zhao Lin was furious: "You are so good, you eldest son of the Feng family. Master Fu, go and investigate. If this is true, cut him into pieces and execute him by slow slicing!"
The eldest son of the Feng family said hurriedly: "Sir, don't believe these two slaves, they are slandering me."
Zhao Lin had already turned and left.
Fu Wenqi said with a gloomy face, "Separate them and question them one by one."
Before, when Zhao Lin used this method to find evidence of Feng Siyuan's crime, Fu Wenqi was unwilling, but now after hearing the two maids' complaints against Feng Siyuan's eldest son, he was on the verge of anger.
This father and son both deserve to die!
Zhao Lin followed the Su family members to the pond in the backyard, where Su Yinghan was guarding.
"Feng Siyuan was very cunning. He placed the entrance and exit on this rockery. Who would have thought it would be here? If that little maid hadn't reminded us, we would never have found it."
Su Yinghan exclaimed in admiration.
You have to learn from them.
Most people only build secret rooms near bedrooms or study rooms so that they are convenient for entry and exit.
Who would have thought that Feng Siyuan would be so creative and hide the secret room here.
"Is anyone going in?" Zhao Lin asked.
"No. Once I find the entrance, I will guard it myself and let Xingwen notify you." Su Yinghan said.
"good!"
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "Open it."
Su Yinghan opened the entrance. Just as Zhao Lin was about to go in, Su Yinghan said, "Sir, wait a minute. I'll go in first to avoid any traps."
Zhao Lin nodded. "Master Su, you are so thoughtful. When this matter is over, I will definitely recommend you for a position in the Governor's Office."
"Thank you, sir."
Su Yinghan held a torch and led the way.
With Zhao Lin's promise, he was no longer afraid of danger. Fortunately, there was no danger and he successfully reached the secret room below.
The secret room is not big, only the size of a house, and is built entirely of bluestone.
"Why are there so many small winter melons?" Su Yinghan asked.
There were many small winter melons placed on the ground, only the size of a human head. A rough count showed that there were at least a thousand of them.
"This is not winter melon, this is silver." Zhao Lin said in a deep voice.
"Silver? Silver winter melon?"
Su Yinghan was surprised. "I finally saw the real thing, the legendary silver winter melon. How much would so many silver winter melons cost?"
Zhao Lin stepped forward, picked one up, and tested it, saying, "One weighs about fifty kilograms."
Su Yinghan did the math: "One catty is sixteen taels, so fifty catties is eight hundred taels. Hiss... there must be at least a thousand of them here, doesn't that mean there are eight hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Zhao Lin glanced at the entire secret room and said, "Eight hundred thousand taels is just a silver winter melon."
In addition to silver winter melons, there are also silver ingots, silver ingots, etc.
The silver ingot looks like a boat, and each one weighs hundreds of pounds.
Silver ingots weigh ten pounds each.
In addition to these, there are also gold ingots, gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
This is not a secret room, it should be a treasure house.
Su Yinghan looked shocked.
Although the Su family is extravagant, even they don't have such things.
"Some of the things in here are worth millions of taels, or even tens of millions of taels." Su Yinghan swallowed his saliva.
Zhao Lin said: "Do you want it?"
"think……"
Su Yinghan said subconsciously, and then quickly said: "I don't want to, these are all adults."
Zhao Lin said with satisfaction: "Don't worry, you will definitely get benefits if you follow me. Come on, let's find what we want first."
The two searched inside and soon found a box filled with various letters.
"Found it. Sir, this letter is the one that Feng Siyuan and Ma Ershui used to contact each other."
Su Yinghan excitedly handed the letter to Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin took it and read it, then sneered, "Very good. Now we can finally catch them all in one fell swoop."
It was the next day when Feng Siyuan learned that the Feng Mansion had caught fire.
"Damn it, how could this happen?"
