Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "It's just that there are some things I can't figure out."
"What is it? Tell me, maybe I can help."
"The Wei family's property."
He Jingheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "How many years ago was this? How can there be any family property now?"
Shang Ruoyi said in a deep voice: "When I was young, I heard my mother mention that the Wei family has been engaged in business since the previous dynasty. How could a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years only have these few things left in the end?"
"You mean..." He Jingheng put away the smile on his face: "All the things of the Wei family have been moved?"
"Let's not talk about the farms, lands, and shops of the Wei family. Just talking about the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, there are so many carriages that they can't be loaded. Even if they lost a lot in business, how could they lose all their property?"
They looked at each other.
"Those gold, silver and jewelry must have been hidden by Shangnian." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile: "It seems that we must go to Shang's house."
At night, two black figures landed in the backyard of Wang Shang's house.
They came to an extremely remote courtyard, which was pitch black. She opened the door of the room and took out a fire starter, and could barely see the things around her.
The room was extremely simple, with only a table, two chairs, and a bed without even a curtain. It was not even as good as a servant's room.
"What is this place?"
"This is the courtyard where I lived before I got married." She took out a pottery jar from under the bed, with a smile on her face: "I forgot about it on the day I returned home." She took out a small rattle and a few small toys from the pottery jar: "This is what my mother used to amuse me when I was a child."
With the faint light of the fire, Shang Ruoyi's eyes fell on those little gadgets.
I saw that the butterfly-like object was inlaid with a gem larger than a pigeon egg.
She picked up the rattle, and except for the drumhead, the rest was made of gold.
She took out some more things one after another, all of which were inlaid with many treasures.
Shang Ruoyi looked at those things and murmured, "Is this really what I played with when I was a kid?"
He Jingheng originally felt sorry for her hard life in the prime minister's mansion, but looking at this pile of gold, silver and jewelry, he began to feel sorry for himself: "I was born in a royal mansion and I don't have such priceless gadgets as you."
"When I was born, the Wei family was prosperous, and there were many good things." She touched the small rattle: "After the Wei family declined, my mother and I stayed in this courtyard and lived a life of eating one meal and not the next. But even so, my mother did not take these out. I think she must know that if she took them out, she might lose the last thing to save her life." She took out all the small things in the pottery jar: "Before my mother died, she told me to take these things away, but I completely forgot about it on the day I got married."
Just then, a piece of parchment fell out.
Shang Ruoyi picked it up and looked at it for a long time: "Is this a map?" She suddenly remembered the map that Cong Fangzhi gave her.
This looks like it can be pieced together.
"This is a treasure map." He Jingheng whispered, "This is a treasure map left by the previous emperor."
Putting the map in her hand, he said: "I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Could it be that Shangnian's real purpose in marrying her mother was for this?
After putting away all the things and putting the pottery jar back, the two of them walked out of the yard.
Shang Ruoyi was very familiar with the terrain here, and took He Jingheng towards the warehouse.
Ever since Shangnian was imprisoned, all the guards of the Shang family have been withdrawn, leaving only a few servants. After all, they don't have the money to support these servants.
Now the emperor has only sentenced him to beheaded in the autumn, but has not ordered a confiscation of his property. This should be because of the emperor's consideration.
"Mother." Shang Yufu whispered, "Now the emperor has not canceled our marriage with the queen in public, but today I sent my servant to the queen's mansion to deliver the visiting card, but I couldn't get in. Does the queen no longer want to recognize our marriage?"
"Fu'er, we can't rely on the Dingguo Palace now. The only one who can save your father is Taiyang." The doctor said in a low voice: "It's all your parents' fault. You have been implicated for no reason."
"Then my daughter will go to the palace in person tomorrow."
All these words fell into Shang Ruoyi's ears. A sneer appeared on the corner of her lips. Want to save Shang Nian?
dream!
The next day, when he arrived at the door of the warehouse, there was not even a guard. There were only a few boxes inside, and there was nothing in the boxes.
It seems that after the last theft, they moved all their things away.
The Wei family is the richest family with a large fortune and wealth. They must have a lot of treasures of all kinds. If they were really taken away by Shangnian, they would definitely hide them in this prime minister's mansion.
Shang Ruoyi closed her eyes, and a pure energy entered her body from space.
When she opened her eyes again, everything in this house was reflected in her pupils.
She looked for a long while but did not find any place where gold, silver or jewelry were hidden. Just as she was about to look away, her eyes accidentally fell on the storehouse behind her. At one glance, she was stunned.
Just behind this wall, there were hundreds of large boxes stacked up, filled with gold, silver and jewelry, filling up an entire warehouse.
She walked in quickly and reached out to touch the wall.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Shang Ruoyi was shocked. She almost forgot that this ancestor was standing next to her. "There is nothing found here. Maybe he hid the Wei family's things somewhere else."
He Jingheng nodded: "It's getting late, we should go back and rest."
When he returned to the mansion the next day, He Jingheng left because of urgent military affairs.
Shang Ruoyi originally wanted to go to Shang's house again tomorrow, but she couldn't resist the urge to hunt for treasure, so she changed into her night clothes and flew away.
"Shi 떚." A secret guard stepped forward: "Shi 떚 Concubine has left."
He Jingheng looked at the book in his hand and sighed helplessly. It was obvious from her expression just now that she had discovered something, but she didn't say anything because of her situation.
"When will you be willing to share these secrets with me?" She picked up the book and started reading again.
Shang Ruoyi came to the storeroom of the prime minister's residence and fumbled on the wall for a while but did not find any mechanism.
"Is there another door here?"
She was about to turn around and leave when she saw a shelf in the north corner.
This warehouse is already empty, what is the point of putting this shelf there?
She walked closer, looked for a while, and her eyes fell on a bulge on the wall.
If you don't look carefully, you can't tell the difference between this place and other places.
She pressed lightly, and saw a small door suddenly opened in the wall next to her.
She walked in slowly, looking at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in front of her, and couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
