Qibao then remembered that this dagger was not an ordinary dagger. It came from the space and was naturally not an ordinary object.
Qibao took out the dagger and began to cut it open along the outline, without requiring much effort at all.
Holding the cut object in his hand, Qibao took a closer look and found that it was a wooden board painted with white lime.
After Qibao removed the covering wooden board, he discovered that there was indeed a secret room inside, and the walls were painted white with lime.
It turns out that the wooden board was used to cover this passage. It was integrated with the wall and could be said to be hidden very well.
"This secret room is underground. It should be the cellar that Magistrate Feng just mentioned. These boxes should contain what we are looking for." Qibao said with a smile.
Qibao discovered that each box had two white seals cross-stuck on it.
Qibao removed the seal and opened the box, revealing neatly arranged silver ingots.
Qibao smiled. Since these were all ill-gotten gains of Magistrate Feng, she would not be polite.
So Qibao waved his hand and put all the silver inside into the space. After thinking for a while, he took out a few big stones from the space and put them in. After closing the lid, he put the seal back on.
After Qibao opened and checked them one by one, he found three boxes of silver ingots, one box of gold ingots, and one box of jewelry containing necklaces of various agates and pearls.
Qibao didn't hesitate and put everything into the space. He also put a few stones in the empty box and sealed it tightly. Then he removed all traces of his presence and went back through the passage he came from. However, Qibao glued the wooden board he had cut off back on, so it couldn't be seen without careful inspection.
Qibao followed the passage back to the well, jumped up, and then returned to the yard.
Qibao's journey took quite a while, and fearing that his elder brother would worry, he immediately quickened his pace to meet up with the three of them.
When Qibao arrived at the place they had agreed on, he saw Su Chenyu looking anxious and Jing Chen frowning slightly. Only his eldest brother remained calm.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qibao. Su Chenyu said, "Qibao, why did you come just now? If you hadn't come, I would have gone to find you."
Jing Chen's expression relaxed and he asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Qibao nodded and said, "I'm fine. Let's go back and talk."
So the four of them headed towards the inn.
Wen Yuan was also extremely anxious at this time, pacing back and forth in the dark room.
It was not until he heard a gentle knock on the window that he opened it with a happy look on his face.
Seeing that there were indeed four people, I felt relieved.
The four of them entered the house. Wen Yuan poured each of them a glass of water and asked, "How is it? Is everything going well?"
Su Chenyu picked up the cup and took a sip. "It was the three of them who went in. I was just a lookout. I don't know if they found anything."
Xu Wenwu said, "We didn't find out about Uncle Wen's affairs, but we overheard other things."
Wen Yuan was not discouraged and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It seems that Magistrate Feng and his concubine's elder brother are secretly doing some robbery. The Feng Mansion is much larger than the Wen Mansion. It has carved beams and painted buildings, and the furnishings are also very luxurious." Xu Wenwu said.
Su Chenyu said: "Well, although I didn't go anywhere, but based on what I saw, it is definitely not something a prefect would be able to do. I guess I don't know how much treasure they robbed others of."
Jing Chen said, "I heard from that aunt that she will send someone to inform her eldest brother tomorrow. Let's see if there is any chance to follow him."
Xu Wenwu said, "Okay, but we can't have too many people, or we'll be easily discovered."
Su Chenyu immediately said, "I'll go! I'll go! They won't be able to find me."
Jing Chen said: "Okay, just let your cousin go."
Several people agreed, and after discussing the matter, they went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, when Qibao got up, Su Chenyu had already left.
Qibao planned to go out for a walk. Boss Qian had said before that he wanted to open a branch, so she might as well take advantage of the fact that she had nothing to do now and go see if there was a suitable shop.
Qibao knocked on his eldest brother's door and said something to him.
Xu Wenwu said: "I'll go with you!"
Qibao thought about it and didn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
After saying something to Jingchen and the others, he went out.
Jing Chen actually wanted to go with them, but there had to be someone else at the inn, otherwise Su Chenyu might not be able to find them when she came back.
The brother and sister hadn't had breakfast yet, so they found a food shop to fill their stomachs before starting their shopping.
"Sister, you left alone last night, I'm afraid..." Xu Wenwu didn't finish his words, looking at his sister beside him with a faint smile.
Qibao chuckled and said, "Nothing can escape Big Brother's eyes. I made a fortune last night."
Xu Wenwu asked, "Have you checked this money? Are there any special marks on it?"
Qibao said, "Don't worry, I checked it, there's no markings on it, it looks exactly like normal silver."
After hearing this, Xu Wenwu stopped asking. As long as his sister was happy, no matter what she did, as long as it didn't hurt him, it was fine.
As Qibao came over, many people passing by were discussing what happened in the government office yesterday.
Some people laughed with glee when they heard that Feng Zheng couldn't be a man.
Qibao said, "It seems that this matter has spread everywhere. The people in the Feng Mansion should not cause any more trouble at this critical moment."
Xu Wenwu nodded and said, "Sister, we are not familiar with Xuanyang City yet. If we want to buy a shop, we can only find a house owner who specializes in this area."
