Before that, I heard from Xu Ning that a woman came out of the rockery.

I was still a little surprised.

It is really strange to think that that woman, even though she is not very old, has already mastered most of the property and treasures of the Tong Mansion.

But I never thought that what that woman had in her hands was nothing but gold, silver, and money. They were clearly just a bunch of pretty boys.

And looking at the numbers above the room, it seems to explain it even more.

Perhaps it was not just the woman before that who often came here to have fun.

It seems that other children's wives and concubines in the entire Tong Mansion will often come here to have secret meetings with their lovers.

This place can be said to be a secret room, but it is better to say that it is the ecstasy of the female relatives of Tong Guan Mansion, which is more or less the same.

In this way, that Tong Guan suffered the pain of having a group of wives and concubines.

But so did Tong Guan. He was obviously an eunuch, but why didn't he learn how other normal men would marry wives and concubines?

Isn't it his own fault for causing today's situation?

Fortunately, Tong Guan had been captured by Shuibo Liangshan a long time ago and did not know all the 'interesting things' inside.

If not, I'm afraid that Tong Guan would be so angry that he would vomit blood and die immediately.

At this point, Zhao Ji and others no longer have the interest to investigate in detail.

After all, they have little interest in these matters between men and women.

When Zhao Ji led the Forbidden Army soldiers under his command, ordered their equipment, calmed down their minds, and hurried to the artificial lake in the backyard.

But they found that Xu Ning and others had already drained all the water in the artificial lake.

At this moment, he was commanding more than a hundred soldiers under his command, waving the shovel in his hand like a desperate man, and kept digging there.

I saw that Zhao Ji was leading the Forbidden Army soldiers under his command, hurriedly coming from a distance.

Then Xu Ning came forward with excitement on his face:

"Guan family, I wonder how much gold, silver, and treasures were found in Guan family?"

"Mojiang's place is really unsatisfactory. Until now, we haven't been able to dig out even one tael of silver from this place."

After Zhao Ji heard this, he immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Then he slowly told the big secret about the scene they had discovered just now.

Xu Ning listened with astonishment in his eyes and exclaimed in his heart.

Then, he couldn't help laughing loudly:

"Official family, that Privy Councilor is truly a legend."

"Not only did I defect to Liangshan and become a rebel, I also became a loyal henchman of that big leader Chao Gai."

"Even the wives and concubines in his mansion were unwilling to be left alone and gave the Privy Councilor one cuckold after another."

"Such a legendary figure, if we look at the entire Song Dynasty, I'm afraid we will never see another one."

Just as Zhao Ji and Xu Ning were commenting in various ways on what happened to Tong Guan.

The Forbidden Army soldiers who rushed into the mud and kept waving their shovels heard waves of exclamations at this moment.

It turned out that they had just dug more than half a meter deep into the mud, and the shovels in their hands came into contact with an extremely hard object.

While the Forbidden Soldiers were in shock and confusion, they also saw clearly that underneath the large piece of mud, there was actually a large marble slab.

And when more than a hundred Forbidden Army soldiers used the shovels and steel knives in their hands, and the strength of their arms, they lifted up the large marble slab.

Under it, a bottomless secret passage appeared.

The Forbidden Army soldiers were just about to rush down to see what was inside, when they were suddenly stopped by Zhao Ji who was standing on the shore:

"If you want to go down, it's best to wait for a while."

"And you have to light a torch before you can enter it."

"If the torch goes out soon, then those who are walking on the secret path will have to come out immediately."

"Otherwise, your life will be in danger."

Although the soldiers of the Forbidden Army were extremely puzzled as to why the officials would say this.

But now, since Zhao Ji has already spoken, how can the Forbidden Army soldiers in the mud dare not listen?

Zhao Ji chatted with Xu Ning for a while. After more than half an hour, the Forbidden Army soldiers were allowed to hold weapons in each other's hands and slowly entered the tunnel while holding torches.

Zhao Ji waited on the shore for a long time, and when he saw that there was still no abnormal sound coming from the tunnel, he finally calmed down.

Just when Zhao Ji was waiting impatiently on the shore, the sounds of surprise one after another came from the tunnel.

After a while, the soldiers who had entered the secret passage rushed out of the secret passage holding handfuls of gold, silver, and jewelry.

When Zhao Ji, Xu Ning and others standing on the shore saw this scene, their hearts finally fell to the ground.

When Zhao Ji, Xu Ning, and Zhong Sijin commanded the guards of the Forbidden Army to dig out all the gold, silver, and money in the dark.

The color that day was gradually getting brighter.

Since Zhao Ji still had to go to court in the morning, it was inconvenient for him to stay any longer at this moment.

After hurriedly explaining some issues that needed attention to Xu Ning and Zhong Sijin, they hurried back to the palace.

And Xu Ning, after learning that Zhong Sijin was Zhong Shidao's second daughter, respected her extremely.

No matter what he says next, Xu Ning will execute it without any doubt.

It wasn't until Zhao Ji finished his morning court and dragged his exhausted body back to the back of the study room that he discovered that Zhong Sijin and Xu Ning were waiting for him at the door.

After Zhao Ji hurriedly invited the two of them into the study room, he ordered Eunuch Sheng, who was standing aside, to make good tea for them.

After Eunuch Sheng slowly left, Zhong Sijin excitedly told Zhao Ji the amount of gold, silver, money and silk that had been collected after the house ransack:

"The official family has gone through repeated summaries between me and Colonel Xu."

"Now we have found the total amount of money confiscated from the residences of those two officials."

"The gold, silver, and silk that were copied from Gao Qiu's home are slightly more, totaling more than four million taels."

"As for what was recovered from Tong Guan's home, it was slightly less, totaling more than 350 million taels."

"Together, the two amounts to nearly 800 million taels of gold, silver, and silk."

"In addition, there are countless kinds of jades, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, precious jewelry, and rare antiques. It is difficult to estimate their specific value."

When Zhao Ji finished listening to Zhong Sijin's report, he was really excited.
