Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 256 What a Huge Fortune

Chapter 257 What a Huge Fortune

When Cao Chong came to the bottom of the cliff, Liu Ji's wife and son had already crawled out of the cave, and they stood quietly by the side without saying a word.

"Why do you think Liu Ji made the entrance of the cave so small? How do we get in?" Xiahouba said with a headache looking at the entrance of the two-foot-square cave. He didn't want to climb into the cave like a dog's hole.

"This Liu Ji is also bold. Dig a cave here and hide the entrance with some bushes and grass, so you won't be afraid of being discovered?" Guo He frowned.

"Hmph! He's smart. I've been here before. Before that, not only shrubs and vines were overgrown here, but also gravel rolled from the mountain. For such a small hole, push a stone from the inside to block the hole. You stand It might not be found before the entrance of the cave! The most important thing is that people who have worked so hard to come here pay attention to the right side, and don't pay attention to this side at all." Cao Chong shook his head.

"Yeah, a group of soldiers cleaned up all the shrubs and vines here and didn't notice that there was a cave. It wasn't until a soldier was resting on the rock wall that he realized..." Xia Houba sighed aside.

The discovery of the cave was purely by luck. After climbing to the top of the cliff, a soldier was startled by a boa constrictor, slipped and fell, and landed in the bushes in front of the cave. Soldiers rescued down the mountain, and the team had to send people to clean up the surrounding bushes, vines and gravel.

After clearing the bushes and gravel, the soldiers did not find the entrance of the cave, until a soldier who was sitting on the ground resting against the cliff accidentally discovered a part of the cliff around him that seemed different from the others. Curious I took the blade in my hand and poked it into the crevice of the rock, only to find that it was empty!
"Then how do we get in?" Xia Houba continued to ask, pointing to the two-foot-square hole.

"Take a sledgehammer and hit it hard on the top and right side of the hole. How did you dig out the space inside such a small exit? This hole must be a fake!" Cao Chong ordered.

Sure enough, the original entrance of the cave was six feet high and four feet wide, but after the cave was completed, it was supported by iron bars and filled with stones. It was like a disguised rock, leaving only a two-foot-square entrance. It can be blocked with a big rock.

After the cave was opened, Cao Chong took people in to have a look, and found that the interior area was not large, about six feet high, seven or eight feet wide, and three or four feet deep. Considering the location and the hardness of the rock, this was considered a large project. up.

The cave is nothing, but the things in it startled Cao Chong, Guo He and Xia Houba!
12 taels of silver!9000 taels of gold!jade……

Guo He took off all his hats and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with one handful, this is too much for him!
Not to mention a large amount of gold and silver, there are also a large amount of jade and precious stones. The most peculiar thing is that there are a large number of carved jade pieces here!
Of course Cao Chong and the others knew what those jade flakes were for, so they couldn't help being horrified!

Could it be that Liu Ji is still planning to get himself a golden jade dress?
Cao Chong took a few deep breaths before calming down the shock in his heart.

"To be honest, you are too shocking. The treasures you have collected may not be so much in the prince's family." Cao Chong said to Liu Ji's wife who had been silent all the time.

"And this piece of jade, it doesn't seem to be enough for two people. Didn't Liu Ji plan to get you a golden jade dress?" Cao Chong asked maliciously.

"How is Liu Ji?" Liu Ji's wife asked back.

"So you can talk? I thought Liu Ji married a dumb thief?"

Liu Ji's wife stopped talking again.

"You should know what Liu Ji's fate will be. He died in the battle with the officers and soldiers."

After Liu Ji's wife heard the news of Liu Ji's death, she didn't have any major emotional ups and downs, but nodded slightly.

The performance of Liu Ji's wife made Cao Chong frown.

"I've already told you about Liu Ji's situation. Shouldn't you tell me what happened to this batch of gold, silver and jade? And what should you call it?"

"Daughter Zhang, the property in the cave is accumulated over the years." Liu Ji's wife answered very concisely.

It seems that Mrs. Zhang is not going to tell herself how those belongings came from.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task of suppressing the bandits. The reward is [-] days of life, and the current life is [-] days."

"Because the host found the hidden treasure of the bandit, an extra chance to draw a lottery will be rewarded!"

The sudden prompt from the system calmed down the anger in Cao Chong's heart.

"Hmph! Since you don't want to talk about stubborn stuff, I'm not interested in knowing about it either!"

Cao Chong said something indifferently, then ignored Liu Ji's wife, Mrs. Zhang, and left directly with Xia Houba.

Guo He thoughtfully followed and left.

Zhang, who was left in a daze, looked at the backs of several people leaving in confusion.

"Young master. Are you going to play hard to get?" Guo He caught up from behind.

"What is playing hard to get? I'm just not interested. Luoyang has a lot of things to do. Who has the time to waste energy with a thieves?"

"But those gold and silver can't be accumulated by the robbers, and those jade pieces can't be carved by casual craftsmen..."

Of course Cao Chong knew that the bandits did not rob those belongings, at least most of them were not.

"No matter how it came, didn't it all fall into Ling Yin's hands? I just pretended I didn't see these things. Guo Lingyin will deal with them himself, and I have to rush back to Luoyang!" Cao Chong said indifferently.

Guo He smiled wryly, you said it lightly, you are the prime minister's son, can I pretend you didn't see it, can I handle so many treasures alone?
"Young master, do me a favor! The gold and silver in this cave, as well as all the confiscated items in the cottage before, will be handled by the young master. The old master will use some military merit to appease my soldiers..."

Cao Chong was amazed by this, Lao Guo is not an easy person!

"Guo Lingyin, why is this? Knowing that you are a clean and honest official, you only need to hand over the gold and silver to the court, and the rewards will probably be indispensable."

"Hey, I'm getting old, I just want to finish my job as Yin of Henan in peace and stability, and then go home to take care of the elderly. Please ask the young master to hand over these properties to the court! Young Master, help this old man!"

Cao Chongxin said: "Old fox, when he sees the situation is not right, he wants to slip away, but his determination is admirable! It just so happens that I want the old fox's help, so I just promise him."

Cao Chong frowned and said: "Since Master Ling Yin said so, I will accept it. No matter who owns this batch of property, I want to see if they have the courage to ask me for it!"

Guo He was overjoyed and quickly thanked Cao Chong.
