As Zhao Ji tore more and more holes in the body, the internal situation of Tai Sui became clearer and clearer.
Zhao Ji's expression turned serious. I seemed to think it was too slow, so I reached in and took a look.
It didn't matter that he was panning for a while, he actually found two gold medals and a few broken pearls with his hands.
The guards standing by thought that these things were Tai Sui, and were stunned when they saw Zhao Ji taking out these things.
"Search these things carefully. I think some of the things that cannot be put out in the open are disguised in this way!"
Zhao Ji sneered and looked at the thing in his hand with sudden realization. At the same time, Zhao Ji's subordinates worked even harder than before, pinching anything they could find.
At this time, the wife of the Supervisory Censor came out and said, "Are you looking for something? Or are you searching the house? It's making such a big noise, and there are valuables everywhere. Will you pay for the broken key?"
The wife of the Censor was quite naive, which made Zhao Ji laugh.
"Do you think that we are here today just to ask for some tea?"
Zhao Ji's words slowly hit the wife of the frequent censor.
This made the man speechless for a long time.
Zhao Ji took advantage of this time to let his subordinates have a good solo.
Several handfuls of gold were found under the stove ash in the kitchen.
Not to mention some silver found from time to time.
There are other things in this warehouse, but there is no problem for Zhao Ji to send someone to search.
At the beginning, the things displayed in these warehouses were all visible, and they were not expensive things.
But Zhao Ji reached his hand into the vase which was as tall as a person and soon found a mechanism.
With a hard pull of the mechanism, the vase immediately fell to the ground with a loud thud.
The noise was so loud that other people passing by would come over to take a look.
Zhao Ji reached out and touched these things, and soon he felt some things that were prickly.
When he took it out, he saw that it was nothing else but a big gold bar.
Zhao Ji burst into laughter when he saw this. You know, at the beginning, no one would have thought that the Censor would end up like this.
I'm afraid even the Censor himself did not expect such an outcome.
There are so many treasure chests inside. It's surprising how many there are.
The eyes of the censor's wife revealed a deep sense of uneasiness. Her face was pale and she said, "Master, we are finished." Of course, the censor was already in the prison, so he couldn't hear what the censor's wife said.
But even if he heard it, it would be useless and would only add to his sadness. Zhao Ji ordered his men to open the treasure chests one by one. Among them were exquisite silks, Western jewelry, ivory, and silver.
The amount of stolen money is staggering. It is also amazing. How could a bathroom be able to embezzle so much? Then, what about the bigger corrupt officials hidden behind it?
As the treasure chests under the first hidden mechanism were opened one by one, the estimated value of the property ranged from millions to millions. Among them, the Western Region jewels were even more difficult to estimate. As the saying goes, treasures are worth a thousand gold.
As his men carried out the boxes one by one, a small red dot protruded from the back of the secret compartment under a layer of mechanism. Zhao Ji walked over slowly and touched it with his hand. It felt cold.
Xinzhi felt something was wrong. The temperature was very different from the other walls. He used the knife to cut the red spot up, down, left, and right.
By chance, I turned the right direction, and the second secret door was opened. There was a long passage behind the secret door.
The road was bottomless. It was narrow and only one person could pass through. Zhao Ji took a torch and threw it forward. It illuminated the dark road ahead. He told his men to enter in an orderly manner. After walking a few dozen steps, there were suddenly a few rays of light in front of him. But it was not as bright as the sun.
Zhao Ji told the people ahead to be careful. He heard a burst of exclamations coming from the front. Zhao Ji walked forward quickly and found a very spacious underground hall ahead.
There was no sunlight in the hall. There was no light at all. The only light people could see was the colorful night-shining pearls inlaid on the wall.
This kind of night-shining pearl is usually only used by the royal family. However, in this underground hall, it is as common as ordinary stones. There are so many of them.
People were shocked by the scene in front of them. Zhao Ji followed the faint light that the lamp could illuminate and walked forward slowly. There was a huge table in front of him, and the material of the dark table seemed to be a kind of jade.
Zhao Ji didn't know what kind of material this jade was. But he estimated that if such a large table was made of a whole piece of jade, it must be worth a lot. Maybe the sum of the boxes displayed under the first layer of the mechanism could not be worth the jade on this table. There was a huge piece of ice on the table.
This huge piece of ice exudes a biting cold. This must be the reason why the temperature in the whole room dropped suddenly, Zhao Ji thought. But why did the censor put a huge piece of ice here?
The reason was elusive. Zhao Ji looked back at the censor's wife.
From his wife's eyes, it seemed that he didn't know that there was a deeper mechanism under the first layer. It seemed that only the censor in prison could understand this reason.
Zhao Ji looked around and felt that apart from the valuable night-shining pearls on the wall, he did not think there were other treasures under this mechanism.
But Zhao Ji's keen intuition told him that this matter was not that simple. Zhao Ji instructed his men to take out the night pearls one by one, but be sure not to damage them, Zhao Ji instructed. These were all the empire's property.
As time passed, more than half of the night pearls on the wall had not been taken out, but the temperature in the room had risen a lot. The huge ice on the table had slowly melted. Zhao Ji watched the water flowing down from the melted ice to his feet. His frown slowly relaxed.
The melted water slowly gathered into a small river and concentrated at a point on the wall. That point was the largest night-shining pearl. After being soaked in water, the night-shining pearl fell off the wall. A golden strand of something like sand flowed down from the hole.
Zhao Ji ran over and pinched it with his hands. It was golden sand. It was flowing straight, and it was all golden sand. Then he ordered people to dig a bigger hole. The golden sand kept flowing, as if it was a bottomless funnel. There was no sign of stopping at all. Zhao Ji sighed. It turned out that the biggest treasure of the censor was this endless golden sand.
No one knows exactly how much gold sand there is, but since it is piled up like a mountain here, there must be a lot of it.
Zhao Ji looked at these things and sighed: "You guys should fix these things for me. Even if it turns into this kind of sand, you must collect every grain of sand. I want to see how much gold these things can make in the end!"
