Chapter 95
At the bottom of the threshold, the dust on the ground was kicked up, and the place that had been tightly covered by the dust and the threshold now revealed a gap the width of a little finger.

Liu Qingcao looked down and made sure that she was not dazzled, and that there was indeed a straight gap on the ground.

That gap is man-made, not cracked.

Liu Qingcao squatted down, brushed away the surrounding dust, and knocked on it, but there was no sound. Liu Qingcao increased her strength and continued to knock a few times, but there was still no sound like a hollow sound.

"It's strange, the seam is obviously hollow, so why is there no sound?"

Liu Qingcao frowned and looked at the cracks on the ground, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her judgment was correct.

She picked up the hoe on the ground, held it tightly in her hand, and dug into the ground.

"Hiss, my hands are numb..."

As soon as she hoeed, the soil on the ground was so hard that her palms were numb from the vibration.

Liu Qingcao rubbed her numb palms, frowned and looked at the ground.

This thatched house was full of weirdness, which made her feel that there must be something inside, but until now, except for the gaps on the ground, she has not found any other suspicious places.

Could it be that I read too many novels and became suspicious?
At this moment, Liu Qingcao, looking at everything in the candlelight, began to question her own judgment.

"Look again."

Liu Qingcao turned around stubbornly, and searched carpet-like from the other side of the window, not even sparing the gloomy bed.

There was indeed something under the bed, a small wooden box, which contained some small clothes and menstrual belts, and Liu Qingcao stuffed them back unluckily.

In a place like the lobby, there was almost nothing to find. She knocked every inch of the ground with a hoe, but she didn't find anything special.

In the third study room, Liu Qingcao went to the table, flipped it up and down, finally stopped, and walked to the bookshelf, she had already collected all the books on the shelf, leaving only one The empty shelves are there.

Liu Qingcao looked at the bookshelf, suddenly her eyes lit up.

At the bottom of the bookshelf, where the wooden frame on the wall fit together, there was actually an iron rod like a knife, only as long and as thick as a thumb.

No wonder I didn't notice it at the time, the small iron handle was tightly blocked by the wooden bookshelf, and the light was not good, so it's strange to notice it.

Liu Qingcao pulled the iron handle down, only to hear the rumbling sound coming from the ground, but no hollow place appeared.

Liu Qingcao looked around the study room, then turned and ran to the empty room next door.

really!

This house is just tricky.

Liu Qingcao looked at the half-meter-wide hole that appeared under the threshold of the empty house, and remained silent for a long time.

No wonder the hoe can't dig, can't knock...

After the hole was repaired, the place was directly sealed, and it was still sealed with a thick layer.

When she pressed the iron handle, the entire hole collapsed directly, and the soil clods fell directly along the hole, making a muffled sound.

Liu Qingcao put the candle into the hole, and there was a step-by-step ladder in the empty hole, extending all the way down.

Liu Qingcao looked at the black hole below the hole, but she didn't dare to go down directly. She put the candle in her hand on the hoe piece, grabbed the tail of the hoe, and put it into the hole.

In the place illuminated by the candle light, Liu Qingcao could clearly see that there was something below. Where the clod fell, a huge box was knocked away by it.

Seeing that there was no danger below, Liu Qingcao directly put the hoe on the steps and took out another candle.

Liu Qingcao walked on the steps, walking in step by step, 21 steps, still a long distance.

When walking halfway, Liu Qingcao was shocked.

The opening of this hole is downward, and the space is as big as two rooms. The four sides are paved with thick stone slabs upright, and there are two large stone pillars in the middle, standing vertically between the upper and lower sides, as the top beams.

On the wide ground, eight large solid wooden boxes were placed, with a thick layer of tung oil painted on them, making them shiny.

On the side of the wooden box, there are rows of iron weapons, including swords, guns, swords and halberds. There are thousands of them!
Looking at the weapons on the ground, Liu Qingcao frowned. How could such a large amount of iron weapons appear here because iron is so strictly controlled in this era.

Still at Jiang's house!
Thinking of this, Liu Qingcao smiled.

Now that she found out, she had to take all these things away, no matter who put them here.

Liu Qingcao walked up to the weapon, and all of it was retracted into the space.

Liu Qingcao looked more interested in the eight wooden boxes on the ground.

She walked to the nearest wooden box, and vigorously lifted the lid, and Liu Qingcao was very excited to see the bright yellow things inside.

"God, gold!"

Liu Qingcao touched the gold on the upper layer of the wooden box, her eyes were shining brightly, her face was ecstatic, and the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears.

This box is full of golden gold, large ingots of ingots, each of twelve taels, there are probably more than 100 ingots in this box.

One tael of gold and ten taels of silver!
A thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver...

She is posting again! !
Liu Qingcao's heart was beating wildly, her mood at this moment was like buying a lottery ticket and winning the first prize.

"It's all mine."

Liu Qingcao put the wooden box into the space with a smile, and began to open the remaining seven boxes one by one.

Unfortunately, no more gold was found from the remaining seven wooden boxes.

But not too bad!
Three boxes of silver, two boxes of calligraphy and painting, one box of porcelain, and one box of jewelry!
Liu Qingcao picked up the calligraphy and painting and looked at them. The color is good, and it hasn't been wasted due to being left for too long.

This place must have been well sealed, otherwise it would have been buried so deep, the moisture would have rotted most of the things here.

Liu Qingcao put all the things into the space, and knocked around with a candle, but found no other secret room, so she rested her mind, stepped on the stone steps and returned to the ground.

Looking at the hole on the ground, Liu Qingcao shrugged helplessly. Once this place is opened, it cannot be recovered.

She thought, this place must have existed for a long time, maybe only the elders of the Jiang family knew about this place, and the younger generation probably didn't even know about it.

Sneaking in today, this hut has given her a lot of harvest, but these are not the purpose of her coming here.

Liu Qingcao groped in the dark and walked quietly towards Jiang's inner house. The big black dog she met in front of her didn't know where she went at this time. The dog was too dark to be seen. The members of the Jiang family walked very carefully.

This deserted land is quite far from the Jiang family's residence, about 150 meters away.

When Liu Qingcao reached the edge of the inner house, she stopped. She hid her small body at the door and listened quietly for a few minutes with her ears pressed against the wall.

There was no sound of walking inside, but the direction of the main courtyard was brightly lit.

Liu Qingcao pushed open the wooden door and walked in. Under the moonlight in the sky, Liu Qingcao vaguely saw the bluestone road ahead, winding and twisting towards the front.

After walking along Qingshi Road for a while, Liu Qingcao saw the first person of the Jiang family, or a domestic servant.

The servant carried a lantern and yawned as he walked.

When Liu Qingcao saw this person, she hid behind the rockery early on. As soon as the person left, Liu Qingcao came out from behind the rockery and continued to walk towards the inner house.

Liu Qingcao remembered the places she had walked in her heart, and passed the low ear room where the servants lived, Liu Qingcao walked more cautiously.

There are people living in the east and west wings, and there are maids guarding the door, if she is not careful, she will be found.
