Chapter 206: He actually found something!
Yun Shu: “…”
That makes sense.
Yun Shu scanned the messy ornaments in the study one by one, and was still wondering which one looked more like a trigger.
A burly guard nearby suddenly swung up a sledgehammer and smashed a huge groove on the wall on one side!
"No wonder you all like to just smash it. It's much more convenient than looking for a trap."
My goodness, if Yun Chuhuan had this much strength, would he still worry about the piece of cement at the door of the imperial study?
He raised his hand to clear away the dust in front of him, and watched as the guards smashed through a wall with three hammers, revealing a secret room behind the wall.
Yun Shu curiously leaned in to take a look and was almost blinded by the gold inside:
"Oh my goodness! Is Tang Bingfu really just a small doctor in the Water Affairs Bureau?
You haven't even touched the threshold of the morning court yet, and you're greedy for so much?"
"It probably has something to do with buying an official position."
Ye Yunhu had experience in many house raids.
Although the gold he found this time was much more than he had imagined, he was only surprised for a short moment before he came to his senses:
"I heard that the person Tang Bingfu hooked up with is of high status?"
When Emperor Xuanwu asked Li Dehai to find someone to confiscate Yunshu's property, he did not mention anything else.
A cautious person like Li Dehai naturally wouldn't say too much.
Therefore, Ye Yunhu still doesn't know whether Tang Bingfu bought the official position from the prince.
He casually stated his guess:
"Ordinary minor officials can't get in touch with any real big shots.
If the person behind Tang Bingfu is indeed of higher status, there must be many people who want to get in touch with the person behind him through Tang Bingfu.
If he wants to gain some benefits from this, isn't that easy?"
“Isn’t that an agent?”
This Tang Bingfu is not a good-for-nothing as an official, but he has a talent for reselling business!
Look at this pile of gold ingots... Tsk tsk, if her adopted father were to come and see them, his eyes would probably turn red with rage!
Yun Shu silently stepped aside to make it easier for the guards to move the gold out of the secret room.
At the same time, in the backyard, Yun Chuhuan was digging under the tree with a shovel he had found from somewhere.
Everyone thinks that treasures should be hidden in places like study rooms and bedrooms.
Doesn’t that mean these places are actually the most unsafe?
Anyway, he wouldn't hide things where they could be easily found!
For example, the more than one hundred taels of silver he secretly saved last month was hidden under a tree in Yaohua Palace!
The Tang Mansion was not too big. He had just observed it carefully.
This tree is neither particularly conspicuous nor mixed in with a bunch of trees, so people with bad memory might easily forget it.
The most important thing is that from the small window in the corner of Tang Bingfu’s bedroom, you can just see this tree!
If he were Tang Bingfu, he would definitely hide the silver secretly here!
It’s just… not sure exactly where it is.
"Your Highness, Sixth Prince."
Perhaps it was because he saw that he had been digging for a long time but found nothing, so he took the shovel and walked to the side to start digging again. His slow movements made him look like a 70-year-old man, which made me feel very sad.
The guards passing by finally couldn't help but kindly asked:
"Do you need my help?"
"no, I'm fine!"
If he really dug out silver, but was seen by someone, wouldn't his work be in vain?
Yun Chuhuan quickly shook his head vigilantly:
"This prince was just bored and wanted to see how deep the roots of this tree grow!
You guys just do your own things, don't worry about this prince!"
"……Yes."
It’s good not to have to worry about it, it saves them some trouble.
The guard didn't think much about it. He turned around and went back into the house and continued searching through the drawers and cabinets.
Yun Chuhuan waited very carefully for the man to leave. After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he stuck his butt out and continued digging hard.
Perhaps people who like to hide things under trees have something in common to some extent.
Or maybe Yun Chuhuan was simply lucky.
Anyway, he hadn't been digging for long this time when he heard a clanging sound from the shovel - it was digging something!
Yun Chuhuan excitedly took the shovel and dug to the side, and soon took out a box the size of a memorial.
When I opened it, there was no gold or silver bricks or jewelry inside, but a bulging envelope.
“So thick!”
How many banknotes must be stuffed in here!
Yun Chuhuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He was afraid that this large package of banknotes would be discovered and he would have to hand it all over to his father, so he didn't even have time to take a look at it and quickly put it in his arms.
Then he threw the empty boxes back into the pit and filled it up as quickly as possible.
When all this was done, the Imperial Guards were about to finish their work.
Yun Chuhuan threw away the shovel, straightened his robe, and hunched his stomach as much as possible so that the package he was hiding in his clothes would not look too obvious.
"Fifth sister!"
With an extremely natural expression, Yun Chuhuan walked to Yun Shu's side, and even put on an exaggerated expression:
"You found so much gold here?"
"Ah."
Yun Shu glanced at him and asked casually, seemingly unintentionally:
"How many did you find over there?"
"Not a penny!"
Yun Chuhuan shook his head in frustration:
"That Tang guy is so boring. I thought he would hide somewhere else!"
"is it?"
Yun Shu raised his eyebrows, and said casually as if he believed it:
"Where did you find it?"
"That tree in the backyard..."
Yun Shu's words were so natural.
Yun Chuhuan didn't even think about it and just blurted it out!
After realizing what was happening, he covered his mouth in shock and stared at Yun Shu with an accusing look on his face:
"Fifth sister, how could you do this!"
"How could you do this when it's obviously you?"
Yun Shu stretched out his right hand unhappily and snorted:
"Take it out!"
"Just a little bit..."
After being caught lying, Yun Chuhuan wanted to struggle a little more.
But seeing Yun Shu's firm attitude, he had to reluctantly take out the bulging envelope from his arms.
"It's quite thick."
Yun Shu exclaimed, took it and weighed it in his hand, then opened the envelope and pulled out a thick stack of... stationery from it.
Yun Shu: “?”
"You changed it?"
"I didn't change it!"
Yun Chuhuan seemed even more shocked than she was.
He scratched his head twice in disbelief, his face looking like he was struck by lightning:
"Is there something wrong with Tang Bingfu? Why would he bury this pile of scraps of paper under a tree?"
