Chapter 411 Treasure Hunt

Finally, when Shu Xiaoxiao's foot was completely healed without even a scratch left, Yun Qinghan and his group returned with a relaxed look on their faces. Shu Xiaoxiao happily stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Did you catch the person?"

Yun Qinghan nodded: "Basically, they have all been arrested. The officials involved have been locked up in jail, and the iron mine on the mountain has been taken over. We are just waiting for the emperor to send someone."

"What about all those people in the village?"

"Those people have been handed over to the army here. Find out their information. Those who should return home can return home, and those who meet the requirements can be directly arranged to join the army. This will be better than letting them gather again and can also strengthen the army's strength."

After this investigation, Yun Qinghan was speechless. They had originally come here for the affairs of the previous dynasty, and there were indeed people from the previous dynasty here, but how to say it, the previous dynasty was ruined by themselves. If they revealed their identities, no people would pay attention to them. Other emperors might have to worry about the connections of the previous dynasty, but the current emperor never worried about these things, because with people's reputation, even if the emperor ignored them, they could not do anything.

This time they sent people to check the treasures in the Qianqing Palace, and wanted to know if there were any other things that the previous dynasty didn't have. After all, when they took over the world, the court was a vacuum!

So he was thinking if he could get some more, after all, money is always good, and nothing is too much. Who knew he would find a big one when he came over? The emperor should not be disappointed!

After all, iron ore is much more valuable than gold and silver.

Somehow, these people came into contact with the second prince.

Although the previous dynasty was not a decent dynasty, the people who stayed behind also had certain strength. But decades later, who would still think about the previous dynasty? After all, it is useless to think about it. They have to live their own lives, right? They also have abilities, so naturally they are unwilling to remain unknown all their lives.

Relying on that little family fortune, they got in touch with the Second Prince. This iron mine was discovered by them in recent years. It and the treasures buried in the Qianqing Palace were all gifts of surrender given to the Second Prince by people from the previous dynasty. These talents who came later were slowly arranged by the Second Prince.

In the past few years, they have dominated this area, and the officials who came here to work are basically the second prince's men. If they are not the second prince's men, they either died suddenly on the way or were coerced and bribed, and finally had no choice but to collude with them. Under their development, a lot of weapons and men have been trained here.

Relying on these things, if the emperor has any accident in the future, it is not impossible for the second prince to ascend to a high position with these. Fortunately, they discovered it in advance, but now the second prince may be restless!

"Have they all been caught?"

"No, Brother Du, who is in charge of the village, may have guessed that we were the ones they were chasing. When we got there, they had already run away with their men. Fortunately, everyone nearby is ours, so it's only a matter of time before we catch them."

Besides, the surrounding area has been controlled by them, so even if they run away, it won’t cause any trouble.

"He ran away? That's such a pity. Where are the things? Have you found them all? I think there must be more than those things in such a big village. Have you found them all?" Shu Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Qinghan excitedly.

For such a big village, weapons would be fine, but she didn't believe that there were only so few treasures. There must be some in other places, and they couldn't let it go.

Yun Qinghanqing chuckled: "No, not only is the treasure wrong, but there is also a batch of weapons that have not been found. Those people are very stubborn. Junior brother, are you interested in treasure hunting?"

Seeing his young master's doting look, Huo Feng unconsciously tightened his sword and stared at the ground with his eyes wide open: Their future young master! Young master!

It's a pity that he didn't have the courage to persuade the prince to return to the right path, so he was guilty.

"Treasure hunt?"

Shu Xiaoxiao immediately became interested. Treasure hunting was great. Even if she couldn't get the treasure into her pocket, she liked the feeling of finding it.

Yun Qinghan has already arranged everything that needs to be arranged, and now he is just waiting for the person sent by the emperor to take over, so now he has plenty of time to spend time with his junior brother and cultivate their relationship.

The mountains are still in chaos now. Yun Qinghan will first take people to the mansions of those officials who have been detained. Their crimes are irrefutable, and their homes will be raided sooner or later. It is better to make his junior brother happy.

Before they went there, the original wives, concubines, and servants in the mansion had been locked up in another place. Now they were being guarded outside, waiting for Yun Qinghan and the others to arrive. They took their things away, and the place was sealed off.

Shu Xiaoxiao naturally didn't care about the things that were visible in the mansion. Yun Qinghan also waved his hand and ordered the officers and soldiers to collect the things that should be collected. The people inside had already been locked up. If it weren't for waiting for Shu Xiaoxiao, they would have already searched them. Now that Shu Xiaoxiao was here, they naturally had to start.

With these officers and soldiers around, Shu Xiaoxiao didn't even look at the things on the surface, and went to each room to look for secret rooms or something. The things inside were the real treasure!

After searching several mansions, Shu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh. Could it be that these secret rooms and secret passages were standard features of these wealthy families, or even the standard features of the ancients? How come every mansion had several secret rooms?

No matter how much treasure is inside, there must be one or two secret rooms in the mansion!

That's not right. It seems that modern corrupt officials also dig tunnels at home. It seems that this habit has been applicable from ancient times to the present, especially when the money comes from an illegal source. It also feels like a secret base, which makes her want to go back and dig a secret room.

The silver that was unearthed also made a small fortune for the national treasury.

Huo Feng was too lazy to even sigh in the back. The prince's way of coaxing people was really novel. Other people cultivated relationships with romance, flowers, snow and moon, but their prince was different. He accompanied others to search the house.

When the imperial court searched the houses, how could they not know that there were secret rooms and secret passages in each mansion? Every time there was a search, there were people who were responsible for finding all kinds of secret passages and secret rooms. If there was a worthless silver in the house that the imperial court searched, it might be because they didn't notice it. But if you say that they missed a few secret rooms, that's impossible. There are people who can open them even in a rat hole. It's not that they didn't notice the worthless silver, but it's more likely that they didn't take a fancy to it.

Now they are so happy every time they get a secret room. One is the son of Marquis Dingbei, powerful and famous in battle. The other is Marquis Yongle, who is in the emperor's favor and has a noble status. Now they are so happy because of a few secret rooms. Oh, he just can't bear to watch!

After visiting these mansions, Shu Xiaoxiao didn't leave anything behind. She had no shortage of money and she just enjoyed the joy of treasure hunting. With Senior Brother Yun there to support her, today's trip was well worth it.

They also found the lost batch of weapons, which were intended to be sent to Kyoto for the Second Prince. They had been presented to the Second Prince in succession over the past few years, but this time the number was the largest.

As a result, before I left, I heard news from Yun Qinghan that the things had naturally not been shipped away yet.

The reason why Yun Qinghan and his team had not found it yet was that this batch of weapons was not in their mansion at all, but at the city gate, ready to leave at any time. However, this time they did not need to leave, but they had left, the only difference was that the people transporting them had been changed, and the destination had also been changed.
