Yan Ruyu watched quietly and saw Lady Rong entering the rockery.

Madam Rong carried a lantern and entered the rockery. The rockery had already been hollowed out, not only here, but also in the underground darkroom, which had a total of two floors.

Seeing that everything was still here, with no signs of missing, she let out a heavy breath.

Without the human skin mask, Mr. Mo will become furious, but as long as she sincerely admits her mistake, even if she has to kneel for a few days, freeze in an ice cave for a few days, or come close to death several times, she can always recover.

But losing these things would be really fatal.

After reading and coming out, Mrs. Rong carefully turned off the mechanism. After thinking about it, she still felt that it was not safe. She took out a small blue bottle and poured out a strange green liquid from it, which flowed onto the trees and rocks.

The green penetrates the wood and stone and disappears quickly, leaving even no smell.

Madam Rong was very satisfied and left with peace of mind.

Yan Ruyu saw it clearly, took out a pair of gloves and put them on - although she was not afraid of poison, since she knew it was poisonous, there was no need to touch it head-on.

After Lady Rong walked away, Yan Ruyu went to the rockery and carefully observed the tree. She saw a tree scar on the side. She poked it lightly with the tip of the knife and sure enough, it popped open and there was a hole the size of a fist inside.

Yan Ruyu first used a knife to scratch inside, and then used a flashlight to shine a light on it. There was also a ring. When the tip of the knife was lifted, the rockery door opened.

Stepping in, the passage is not long, and you can see the scene inside within a short walk.

Wherever the light hit, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but take a few breaths.

Compared with this place, Jiang Xianyu's yard just now pales into insignificance.

Yan Ruyu didn't have time to marvel and quickly put all these things away.

With these things, she won't be afraid even if Youcheng is hit by a few more disaster years. She will have the capital to open up land, store food, and build infrastructure in the future.

Soon, the originally full warehouse was empty. Looking closer, I found an iron ring on the ground in the corner.

Could it be that there are still underground ones?

Opening the tip of the knife, Yan Ruyu's eyes narrowed - as expected, there was still something.

However, what is piled here is not property, but some food, medicinal materials and wine.

Yan Ruyu thought of the strange medicinal materials she had encountered before. The quantity here was much larger than those before.

Put everything away and keep it for later study.

Going further inside, there are things packed in fine sacks. I don't know what they are.

The food just now was packed in burlap bags, which are very common. This kind is specially woven with fine texture and small holes, so it is difficult to expose the contents inside.

He poked a small hole with a knife, and something came out. Yan Ruyu picked it up in the palm of his hand and twisted it with his fingers. It seemed like sand.

When the light shone, her eyes shrank.

In the light, the "sand" in her palm shone with golden light.

Yan Ruyu instantly understood that this was not sand, but concentrated ore powder.

In ancient times, when gold was mined, several processes were required to refine it into gold.

First, people put the gold ore into a bucket of water, used hydraulic force to crush the large pieces of ore, and then used a stone mill to grind it into powder.

Followed by elutriation, the ore powder is washed in water to remove the gold-free part, leaving the powder with more gold, which is called concentrate powder.

There are a few more to come, and now, what Yan Ruyu has in her hand is the concentrate powder.

She took two steps back and looked up at the sacks piled up into a hill. If they were filled with concentrated ore powder, and they could be taken back and refined into gold, they would be far more valuable than the stuff above.

Antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times. No matter it is in troubled times or in any era, gold is the currency.

Yan Ruyu was not polite at all and took all these away. As he walked, he thought, where did these concentrated ore powder come from?

Where is their gold mine?

Madam Rong did not fully trust Jiang Xianyu from the beginning. Every time Jiang Xianyu handed over the accounts and property, she would quietly transport them back to the manor through other methods and put them in the rockery.

Wait until Mr. Mo orders it before handing it over.

There are many people in the city, and Furong Pavilion is of a business nature, with people coming and going. So much property and vital things must not be hidden there.

After going around in circles and transporting it back to the manor, Jiang Xianyu probably didn't know that even greater wealth was around her. Stealing some every day would be much better than being caught making false accounts.

After Yan Ruyu collected the things, the depression in her heart finally eased a little.

Just as he was about to leave, a dark shadow flashed past. Yan Ruyu held the handle of the knife and said in front of her: "Princess."

It's the secret guard disguised as "Dagur".

"You came just in time," Yan Ruyu said, "Do you still have any explosives?"

"Yes, I only put it in one place," the secret guard's eyes shone.

Oh my God, he could see the power in just that one place. How powerful it would be if it were put on the battlefield!

"You wait for the signal later. When you see the signal arrow rising into the sky, blow up this rockery."

Yan Ruyu ordered, pointing to the tree: "Don't touch there, someone has poisoned it, go that way."

"Yes."

Just as Yan Ruyu was about to leave, the secret guard hurriedly said: "Princess, this is for you."

He was outside the manor just now. He didn't know that Yan Ruyu was coming in, so he forgot to hand it over.

Now is the time.

Yan Ruyu unfolded it and looked at the topographic maps he had drawn of some of the places he had figured out these days.

"Well done, just what I needed." Yan Ruyu praised, "Let the prince give you a credit when you get back."

The secret guard was delighted: "Thank you, Princess!"

Madam Rong returned to the fire scene, where her men were busy putting out the fire. The messy scene reminded her of the fire she had set in Furong Pavilion before.

His footsteps suddenly stopped and he stared at the fire scene for a long time. Could it be...

An idea flashed through her mind, but she thought it was impossible.

No, she had just returned here, and people in the city were still busy putting out the fire. She paid a high price for specially made kerosene, which was not easy to put out.

Just in case, Furong Pavilion was built by her on the order of Mr. Mo. If she failed, she must not fall into the hands of others.

Looking at the fire scene, she thought again, what was that thunder just now?

Two women ran over: "Master, why are you here? Hurry and hide, there are slaves here."

"That's right, don't hurt you."

"Why did it suddenly catch on fire?" Lady Rong murmured, just asking herself, without pointing to anyone who could answer.

The mother-in-law answered: "The sound just now was like thunder from the sky. Maybe it was the dry weather and the fire from the sky."

"Skyfire?" She glanced at her mother-in-law.

Why does the sky fire burn this place?

Could it be that he has done too many evil things and has been punished by God?

As soon as this idea came up, Madam Rong laughed angrily at herself.

Doing evil? What evil has she done? She was here to complete the task given by Mr. Mo, and the people she had killed before were all those who had bullied her.

She is doing justice for heaven.

Thinking of this, Madam Rong turned back to the yard without looking back.

Regardless of whether it was heavenly fire or not, if she thought it was some kind of warning from heaven, she would be totally wrong.

I returned to the yard, opened the door and entered the house. After all this hard work, now that I relaxed, I felt even more weak and tired.

As soon as she entered the house, she suddenly felt something was wrong!
