But just as he turned around, he saw Butler Wang Zhuang walking towards him in a hurry.
Seeing this, Zhang Feimo sneered and was even more angry at his own negligence.
"Sir, are you looking for stolen goods?" As soon as he stepped forward, Steward Zhuang asked Zhang Feimo.
When he said this, he looked frank and innocent.
"Where is Manager Liang?" Zhang Feimo asked instead of answering.
After hearing what Zhang Feimo said, Hu Yuhao, who was following behind him, immediately understood why he was so nervous just now.
really......
"The master of the Wang family knew that the county magistrate would look for Manager Liang, so he sent Wang to tell the magistrate that Manager Liang knew he had committed a heinous crime and committed suicide in the palace."
At the end, Butler Zhuang even looked regretful.
"Why did he commit suicide?" Zhang Feimo asked in a deep voice.
Even though I already know the answer, I still don't give up.
"Sir, let's not beat around the bush. I'm sure you know what's going on in this farm. The master of the Wang family probably guessed it, so he ordered me to explain it to you and take you to search for it, so as not to waste your time."
When saying this, Manager Zhuang looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, and he couldn't be calmer.
Even though Zhang Feimo was mentally prepared, he was still furious after hearing what the housekeeper said.
"But according to my understanding, Liang Huzi is just a manager of this farm. How can he be so powerful as to collect so many stolen goods?"
Zhang Feimo said it again, as if he was not going to let go of this issue unless it was explained clearly.
"This really requires the county magistrate to investigate. Our master and mistress also want to know, so please give them an explanation, county magistrate." Butler Zhuang replied immediately.
When saying this, Butler Zhuang's tone was already extremely arrogant.
No matter how calm Zhang Feimo was, he was extremely angry at this moment.
"But according to Ma Tieshu, all the gold and silver in this manor belong to Wang Hao. How do you explain this?"
This time it was Hu Yuhao who started the game.
"County Magistrate Hu, you must know who Ma Tieshu is. Besides, this farm has always been managed by him and Manager Liang. Mr. Wang has rarely asked about the affairs of this farm. Ma Tieshu's words sound like he is trying to shirk responsibility. County Magistrate, you won't believe such words, right? If this is really the case, it will be a disaster for our Heshan County."
After saying this, Hu Yuhao was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
So the housekeeper Zhuang became even more proud, and looked at Zhang Feimo and said even more proudly:
"Before I came here, my master told me to remind you not to be fooled by Ma Tieshu's lies. How can a man who dares to go against the county magistrate be a good person? I hope you can see clearly."
Butler Zhuang said this without blushing or getting nervous.
Even Zhang Feimo couldn't find any fault with him for a moment.
"Are you blaming everything on Ma Tieshu?" Ji Xiangfeng asked coldly.
"Master Ji, what you said is wrong. How can it be said that he is shirking responsibility? It is obvious that Manager Liang knew that he could not escape the disaster, so he chose to commit suicide. Otherwise, how can we explain his suicide? As for Ma Tieshu, everyone in Heshan County knows that Ma Tieshu is in charge of all the affairs of this farm, and our master has never asked about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Feimo walked straight towards the compartment where Ma Tieshu had been before.
He was a rational man. It was obvious that the palace already knew about his movements and had already come up with an explanation.
He knew very well that it was pointless to continue to dwell on it.
But he was very curious, why did Wang Hao know that he came to the farm?
Moreover, it appeared so timely, and remedial measures were taken so quickly.
After entering the compartment, Zhang Feimo didn't waste any words. He looked directly at the housekeeper Zhuang and asked:
"Butler Zhuang, please don't waste my time. I'm sure you already know where the stolen goods are hidden, right?"
"I know, I know. The master forced Manager Liang to reveal the truth before he died. That's why..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Where are you?" Zhang Feimo interrupted him sharply.
No one knew how much Zhang Feimo hated himself at this moment.
He has been feeling uneasy these days, always feeling like he has overlooked something.
I never thought that this was the case.
"Don't worry, sir. Manager Liang did tell us, but it's just a rough idea of the place. We still need to explore it."
Butler Zhuang said calmly.
Afterwards, he slowly walked under the tea table again, and was seen touching and looking around, not knowing which mechanism he had pressed.
Then a secret door opened underground...
"Sir, I believe what you are looking for is underneath." Steward Zhuang said to Zhang Feimo with a frank look.
Zhang Feimo didn't open the door. At this moment, he regretted it very much.
Thinking of the honest manager Liang just now, my heart was filled with guilt.
If he had noticed the abnormality earlier, would he have survived?
Hu Yuhao probably knew what Zhang Feimo was thinking, but now was not the time to comfort him.
As a county magistrate, such things are inevitable.
No one has the ability to predict everything.
He directly instructed Xiaowen and Xiaowu beside him:
"Jump down and bring up everything that's down there."
"Yes!" Xiaowen and Xiaowu answered respectfully.
As small baskets of silver were carried up, Zhang Feimo gradually regained his composure.
He didn't know how big the basement was. When Xiaowen and Xiaowu moved everything up, he was completely surprised.
Zhang Feimo, who thought he had seen the world, couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
It can be seen with the naked eye that there are tens of thousands of taels here, or even more.
In addition to silver, there are also some jewels, each of which seems to be worth a lot of money.
"Sir, there is a small basket below." Xiaowen reported again.
"Is it gold?" Zhang Feimo asked.
Don't blame him for saying that. In fact, Xiaowen and Xiaowu have been talking to each other for a long time without saying a word.
Suddenly, a new thing happened. It was obvious that the remaining basket was not simple at all.
Xiao Wu nodded and acknowledged what Zhang Feimo said.
Then he saw Xiao Wu being lifted up from below.
At this moment, not to mention Zhang Feimo, even the housekeeper Zhuang was shocked.
He knew that there were gold, silver and jewelry hidden on this farm, but he didn't know there were so many.
Just looking at this box of gold, Manager Zhuang felt so painful.
No wonder the master hated Zhang Feimo so much when he was in the palace.
The steward of the farm was in charge of everything in the palace, although he didn't know how much silver the farm had.
But based on what he saw in front of him, he made a rough estimate and thought that more than half of the gold, silver and jewelry were placed here.
