Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Wang Hongfu followed the guards to an inconspicuous woodshed, which was filled with a lot of miscellaneous items.

After Wang Hongfu came in, a guard came forward and said:

"Manager Wang, we found a lot of valuables."

Wang Hongfu nodded.

"Where is the cellar?"

"Here."

The guard took Wang Hongfu to a corner, where there was originally a wooden rack, which had now been moved aside.

There is also an iron plate and a wooden board next to the wooden frame.

Wang Hongfu walked to the entrance of the cellar and looked down. He could see a faint fire, which meant there were probably guards there.

"How did you find it when it was so hidden?"

There is no mechanism here. The entrance of the cave is first covered with an iron plate, and then a thick layer of wood is placed on top.

If you don't knock hard, you can't hear the hollow sound.

What's more, there is a shelf on it, with various things placed on it.

"Haha, Shopkeeper Wang, we didn't notice anything unusual here.

However, a colleague found that this place is cleaner than other places. Although there is dust, it is less than other places.

So he was curious and wanted to pry the board.

Unexpectedly, the knife hit the iron plate, and then he became suspicious and moved the shelf away.

Eventually the cellar was discovered.”

A guard who seemed to be his deputy said with a smile.

Wang Hongfu was amazed after hearing this;

"The guards are indeed elite, with quick minds and keen observation. I admire them."

The deputy shook his head.

"Manager Wang, thank you for your compliment. Let's go down and take a look."

Wang Hongfu nodded and climbed down the ladder by the light of the torch.

When Wang Hongfu went down to the cellar, he found that the space here was much larger than the woodshed above.

There were platforms around for placing candles, which illuminated the cellar brightly.

There are wooden shelves all around, on which are placed various objects, including intricately carved gold, silver, jade and stone ornaments.

There are pearls and gems, porcelain, and exquisite silks.

Wang Hongfu walked around and took a rough look. They were all top-quality treasures.

There were quite a few large boxes piled on the ground. Wang Hongfu opened one at random and found a box of copper coins.

"Open all the boxes and have a look."

Wang Hongfu said something.

"promise."

Several guards began to open the boxes one by one.

As the boxes were opened one by one, the entire cellar became filled with jewels.

The box was not filled with only copper coins. Most of the box was filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

Not to mention the guards, even Wang Hongfu was excited when he saw it.

The guards were breathing heavily and their eyes were bright.

"Humph!"

Suddenly, a loud snort was heard from the cellar.

It woke everyone up immediately.

When everyone looked, they saw the captain of the guards also coming down from the cellar entrance and standing there.

At this time, the mask on the guard squad leader's face had been lifted up, revealing a resolute face.

There was a long scar on his face, which made him look particularly hideous with his gloomy expression.

The captain of the guards walked towards the crowd step by step, and everyone felt the temperature dropped a lot.

He slowly walked past several people, and wherever his eyes passed, the guards couldn't help but lower their heads to avoid his fierce eyes.

The guard squad leader came to Wang Hongfu and turned around, staring at everyone blankly.

"This... is the property of His Royal Highness Prince Ji. If anyone dares to keep one of these, I will chop off one of his hands."

The guard squad leader's voice was cold and full of murderous intent.

"promise!"

Several guards immediately saluted and accepted the order.

"Manager Wang, please count the property.

Everything here must be counted and recorded, not even a copper coin can be left out.

If anyone hides it secretly, you can tell me. If one item is kept, the person will be chopped off. If two items are kept, the person will be punished by military law.

I do what I say. Don't blame me for being cruel, because my whole family belongs to Prince Ji's mansion.

I don't want your stupidity to affect me."

The guard squad leader looked at Wang Hongfu and all the guards and said.

Although the guard squad leader believed that his soldiers would not do anything stupid, it was still better to take precautions in advance.

After all, these people were the soldiers he led. They had been through life and death together and had deep feelings for each other.

He really didn't want to see these people make the same mistake as Zhang Sheng.

He didn't even want to have to kill them with his own hands.

Wang Hongfu saw that the situation was a bit serious, and he quickly smiled and said:

"Haha, don't worry, Squad Leader Sun, the guards in our guard battalion are all elites among the elites.

There is absolutely no problem with his moral character.

Everyone was just a little curious when they suddenly saw so much treasure.

Mr. Wang just made a rough estimate. All the items here added together are not worth much money, only a few hundred thousand strings of cash.

It’s not worth it for such a small amount of money.”

Small money? Just a few hundred thousand strings of cash?

Hearing Wang Hongfu's words, the guard squad leader's mouth twitched.

Hundreds of thousands of strings of cash was an astronomical figure for them. Even if he worked for a hundred or two hundred years, he could not earn that much money.

Not to mention the ordinary guards.

It would have been better if Wang Hongfu hadn't said it. Once Wang Hongfu finished speaking, the guards were even more shocked.

Hundreds of thousands of strings of cash! They had never seen such a large amount of money before, but no one showed any greed.

Li Shen’s ideological education was not in vain, not to mention that these people’s families were all in the farm of Prince Ji’s mansion and could not escape.

"Squad Leader Sun, it's getting late today and we've all been so tired from the journey and haven't had our meals yet. I think we should do this.

Let's seal it up here first, and we'll count them one by one tomorrow. We have important things to do, and we need to find someone to transport these properties back.

It’s inconvenient for us to carry them, and I guess there will be many more later.”

Wang Hongfu thought about it and suggested again.

This time they came to arrest Wang Wencheng and his gang, and it was indeed inconvenient to carry so much valuables with them.

There are only a dozen of them this time.

"Well, then seal it up first and count the property tomorrow. But who will be responsible for sending it back or guarding it?

It seems that there are not many trustworthy people in Xizhou now. I don’t know who betrayed Prince Ji’s Mansion.”

The captain of the guards also felt that these properties were a bit troublesome.

Wang Hongfu was also in deep thought. He regretted that he had neglected this aspect at the beginning, otherwise he would have brought more people.

Even if they are not guards, it would be fine to bring some servants or people from the carriage company.

"Let's eat first, and then figure it out."

Wang Hongfu said helplessly.

The captain of the guards immediately ordered everyone to go up. He and Wang Hongfu were the last to go up, and then they covered the iron and wooden plates again.

He also wrote a seal himself and stuck it on.

Finally, he put the shelf back in place. After doing all this, the guard squad leader found an excuse to let everyone go out first.

He pulled out another hair and smashed the shelf together with the one next to it, making it completely invisible in the dim light.

After doing all this, the captain of the guards went out with peace of mind, locked the door, and arranged two guards to guard it.
