"You two, stop arguing and listen to me!"

Boss Zheng covered his ears and roared.

The sudden roar successfully caused the two of them to pause.

The quarrel was interrupted, and both the Duke of Zhen and Prime Minister Zhao looked unhappy. They both looked back at him at the same time and asked:

"Boy, what do you want to say?"

Only then did Boss Zheng realize that he seemed to be too loud. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and stammered:

"I...I wanted to say that we dug out the treasure under the bed last night and wanted you to come over and take a look."

"Baby? What treasure? This mansion was completely searched. How could there be any treasure left?" Prime Minister Zhao asked.

"You can come with me and take a look, I'll definitely shock you."

Seeing that they didn't believe it, Boss Zheng walked directly to the front to lead the way.

Facts speak louder than words, and no explanation is as good as seeing it with your own eyes.

Prime Minister Zhao and Duke Zhen looked at each other doubtfully and followed him into the small courtyard.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou was sitting outside the door combing Jin Bao's hair. When she saw the person coming, she immediately saluted and said, "Prime Minister Zhao, Your Excellency, you are here."

"We are all a family, so we don't need so many gifts from now on. You can comb little Jinbao's hair first, and the two of us will go into the house with that kid to take a look."

Jinbao sat obediently on the small stool, with his hair disheveled, looking like an elf who had fallen into the world. He was so cute that people were amazed.

The Duke of Zhen resisted the urge to step forward and rub him, and pulled Prime Minister Zhao into the room.

He can't hold a good granddaughter, and neither can this old fox.

"Boy from the Zheng family, you are so precious..."

Seeing that the house was filled with bricks and dirt, the joking voices stopped abruptly.

The two of them walked towards the place where the stone slabs were dug out at the same time, and said in shock: "Did you really dig out something?"

"Of course it's true. You can come down with me and have a look."

After saying that, Boss Zheng walked in front carrying a lantern.

Prime Minister Zhao and Duke Zhen suppressed their surprise and followed him.

When they entered the darkroom, they were shocked and speechless by what was inside.

The rows of gold bricks, boxes of silver ingots, and various jewelry all shocked their eyes.

The most eye-catching thing is the coffin made of gold. How much gold must be consumed to build such a large coffin.

The Duke of Zhen's expression gradually became serious and asked, "Boy, how did you find out that there are gold and silver jewels hidden here."

It must not be that simple for such a large amount of wealth to be discovered even if it is hidden so well.

"We caught a thief who was pretending to be a ghost yesterday. He said that he was a distant relative of the former high official. He didn't know where he got the news, saying that there was a treasure under the bed in the house."

Boss Zheng paused and continued: "Because he didn't know which bed the treasure was hidden under, he didn't find anything. We also tried digging, but we didn't expect that there was something inside."

"It is indeed a generous act. It seems that the emperor gave the sentence lightly."

Prime Minister Zhao looked at the huge golden coffin, his eyes full of anger.

He did not expect that some officials would be so shameless and embezzle gold and silver as much as the national treasury.

"Boy, what are your plans?"

Duke Zhen Guo looked at Boss Zheng with a complicated expression and asked.

With so much gold and silver jewelry dug out of his own mansion, it stands to reason that it belongs to private property. It is up to you to decide whether to hand it over to the court or not.

"We plan to hand it over to the court, but we don't want to make too much noise for fear that others will find out." Boss Zheng said.

They don't bother to keep this kind of ill-gotten wealth.

How can you spend the money you earn without worry.

Duke Zhenguo touched his beard and nodded, his eyes filled with admiration.

It is not possible for ordinary people to remain calm after seeing so much gold, silver and jewelry.

He turned around and shouted: "Old fox, without further ado, let's go into the palace now."

"That's what I mean, son-in-law, please stay here and don't leave the house for the time being, waiting for news from us." Prime Minister Zhao explained.

"Don't worry, Dad, we will definitely stay safe and won't leave even a step." Boss Zheng patted his chest and promised.

Prime Minister Zhao and Duke Zhen nodded, and they slowly climbed up from the secret passage.

"Grandpa, are we still going to play today?" Jinbao saw them coming out and immediately ran over and asked.

The Duke of Zhen Guo regretfully touched Jin Bao's little head and said, "Hey, Jin Bao, good boy, grandpa can't take you out to play today. I heard Ze Yan say, aren't you going to fly kites? Grandpa, please, take you to the house." good?"

"Okay!"

Jinbao happily agreed.

So, after the Duke of Zhen and Prime Minister Zhao sent the Jinbao to the Duke's mansion, they entered the palace together.

Royal study room.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhao and Duke Zhen are asking for an audience."

The bright yellow figure paused for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "Aren't these two old guys taking a leave of absence due to illness? Why are they coming here now that they have already gone to court?"

He put down the book in his hand and ordered: "Let them come in!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

The old eunuch responded and retreated.

After a while, the two of them walked into the imperial study and began to salute:

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Seeing their serious expressions, the emperor knew that it was not a trivial matter, so he asked: "Since you two came together, it must be for the same thing, right?"

The Duke of Zhen took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the mansion that was sealed off a few years ago?"

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Of course I remember that I gave it to a family of villagers in Houyan Village."

"What, is there something wrong with that mansion?"

The Duke of Zhen was too lazy to give a formal report and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, there is a big problem! Didn't you see that there is more gold, silver and jewelry hidden there than in the national treasury."

After hearing this, the emperor stood up suddenly and asked: "Is it true?"

Zheng Guogong said: "How dare we two joke about this matter? How could we come here to report it if we haven't seen it with our own eyes?"

"Who ransacked the house in the first place? Did they do it with their eyes closed?" Thinking of the empty treasury, the emperor was a little angry.

Prime Minister Zhao explained: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The gold, silver and jewelry are all hidden in a dark room underground. You can't find the entrance without digging a foot deep."

"Then how did you two know that there were gold and silver jewels hidden there?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and sounded questioning.

Prime Minister Zhao reported the fact that someone pretended to be a ghost and secretly dug up treasures, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Zheng family has said that they will hand over the gold and silver jewelry to the court. I just hope that the truth can be concealed for them, and the treasures they dug up will not be revealed. Reveal it.”

"Good! It is indeed a 'House of Loyalty'. I am very pleased that Longsheng Kingdom has such people!"

The emperor's face was overjoyed and applauded.
