At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

Zhou didn't explain much, but continued to order: "You two move the bed over here and start digging."

We don’t know what’s underneath yet, so let’s dig it out first.

Seeing her serious expression, Zheng Lao San and Zheng Lao San did not ask any more questions. After moving the bed away, they started digging.

They first pried open the stone bricks on the ground. When they dug about a foot deep, there was a "clang~" sound and the iron pick made a strange sound.

Boss Zheng raised his head and shouted in surprise: "Mom, there is something really down here."

It seems that what the little thief said is true.

"Dig it out first," Zhou said.

"okay!"

Boss Zheng continued to dig hard.

After the two of them cleared away all the soil on the top layer, they discovered that there was a large stone slab underneath, half as big as a bed.

"With such a big stone slab, is there anything underneath?" Zheng Laosan asked.

"It must be down there. It's just that it's hard to pry open." Boss Zheng circled around the stone slab, not knowing how to move it away.

"I'll use a pickaxe to pry a crack, and you can use the pickaxe to block it, and then the two of us will open it up together," Zheng Laosan said.

"Okay, let's do it!"

After saying that, the two brothers worked together to slowly move the huge stone slab away.

"Mom, there is a secret passage down here." Boss Zheng shouted from the side.

"Go down and take a look. Remember, don't touch anything." Mrs. Zhou handed them a night-light pearl and ordered.

Now we need to determine what is underneath so that we can report it to the government tomorrow.

"Okay, let's go down there and take a look. You guys wait above."

With that said, Boss Zheng took the luminous pearl and stepped onto the stone stairs leading to the dark room.

Zheng Laosan followed closely.

Jinbao stood on the side and watched anxiously, "Grandma, can I go down and take a look?"

This kind of mysterious and fun thing is her favorite.

"No, you, just wait up there obediently. You want to know what's down there. You'll find out when your father and the others come up." Mrs. Zhou pinched her rosy little face and said with a smile.

Jin Bao pouted his mouth in disappointment and stretched his head to look down without giving up.

Unfortunately, it was pitch dark down there and nothing could be seen clearly.

Seeing how curious she was, Mrs. Zhou shook her head helplessly.

About half the time it took to burn the incense, Boss Zheng climbed up with the luminous pearl.

"Dad, what's down there?"

Jin Bao ran to him, looking at him expectantly with his big round eyes.

Boss Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief and said in disbelief: "Huh~ You would have never guessed that the hidden things below are all gold bricks and silver ingots, and there is even a coffin made of gold. It is really shocking."

It was simply more gold, silver, and jewelry than he had ever seen in his life combined.

"The high official who lived here before must not be a good person, otherwise how could he hide so much gold." Zheng Laosan agreed.

There was indescribable shock on both of their faces.

Zhou frowned and asked, "Are there a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in there?"

She originally thought there were only a few boxes of gold and silver, but that didn't seem to be the case now.

"That's not an ordinary amount. The darkroom below is bigger than both of these rooms. The gold is piled as high as a person. It's so golden that we don't even dare to open our eyes."

Boss Zheng sighed for a while, still recalling the scene below.

Zhou looked at the dug secret passage, thought for a while, and then ordered: "You two should wash up and go to bed first. Tomorrow morning we will go to the Duke of Zhen and Prime Minister Zhao to discuss it."

If they only have a small amount of gold, silver and jewelry, they can just hand it over to the government directly. Now it seems that it is not that easy. If they are embezzled again midway, it will be troublesome.

"Okay, mother, let's go back and sleep first. You guys close the door at night. It should be fine with Xiaobai here." Boss Zheng said.

"Don't worry, no one knows what we dug out now, so there won't be any danger for the time being." Zhou said with a wave of his hand.

It seems that we need to discuss a solution tomorrow, otherwise if others find out, there will be no peace in this mansion.

After Boss Zheng left, Mrs. Zhou blocked the door and went to bed with Jin Bao in her arms.

"Grandma, didn't grandpa say that there is a shortage of money at the border? Why are there so many treasures hidden here?" Jin Bao asked with his little face raised in confusion.

He didn't even know that there was so much money in the mansion given by the emperor.

Zhou explained helplessly: "The money was stolen from the common people by those evil-hearted officials. They didn't dare to let the emperor know, so they hid it so secretly."

If the emperor had found these gold and silver jewelry, I am afraid that the official would not have been simply exiled.

"Then are we going to return these treasures to the people?"

The innocent question made Zhou not sure how to answer.

"Hey, it's impossible to return them to the people, but we can give them to the emperor so that they can be used on the people."

"..."

The grandfather and grandson talked to each other and talked until very late before closing their eyes and going to sleep.

The next morning.

As soon as Boss Zheng opened the door, he saw two carriages parked outside, one from the Prime Minister's Palace and the other from the Duke's Palace.

"Son-in-law, where is my sweet grandson? Take me to find her quickly. Your mother is still waiting at the house."

Prime Minister Zhao saw the door open and stepped out of the carriage and said.

"Boy from the Zheng family, don't listen to that old fox. Jinbao made an appointment with me yesterday to pick her up."

Duke Zhenguo immediately jumped out of the carriage, walked into the mansion and started shouting: "My dear granddaughter, come out quickly, grandpa is here to pick you up."

When Boss Zheng saw the two of them coming together, he suddenly felt that one was bigger than the other.

Isn't it said that officials have to go to court? Why are these two so free today?

Prime Minister Zhao also hurried in in order to prevent the Duke of Zhen from taking Jin Bao away.

"Dad, Lord Zhenguo, don't be anxious. Jinbao won't go back with you today. There are other things to discuss with you."

Boss Zheng thought of what he dug out yesterday and shouted.

"If anything is important to my dear grandson, let's take him back first and then discuss it." Prime Minister Zhao waved his hand without looking back.

Duke Zhenguo had no intention of paying attention to him at all, and walked straight inside.

Seeing that both of them were acting like little kids, Boss Zheng had no choice but to follow him resignedly, preparing to find an opportunity to mention the baby again.

Seeing the overgrown weeds in the mansion, Duke Zhen couldn't help but muttered: "You can still live in such a shabby place. Today you all will move to the Duke's mansion for me."

He felt bad at the thought of his sweet granddaughter living in a place like this.

"Why move to the Duke's Mansion? If you want to move, you have to move to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Prime Minister Zhao stared at him unconvinced.

"You old fox..."

"You old man..."

As they talked, the two started to quarrel again.
