The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 10 Seemingly in the water, but actually in the soil?
Chang Feng was a little anxious.

Now only Jingcang and Yizang have not been investigated, and there is still a gap of more than 7000 taels.He didn't want to be dispatched to Datong to drink the wind and eat the sand.

Among Erlang's colleagues at the age of twenty, Chang Feng belonged to the category with the deepest city government.At this moment, Fatty Xu could see an anxious look on his face.

Fatty Xu comforted him: "People are dead and birds are upside down. Master Chang, let's check the well!"

Chang Feng nodded.

The so-called well store just as the name suggests.Corrupt officials and wealthy households will put silver in sealed iron boxes and sink them into well water.

There are six wells in the front yard, the back yard, the east-west courtyard and the east-west courtyard of Caifu.

Chang Feng first came to the well in the front yard.He turned the wheel first and fetched a bucket of water.

Then he dipped his finger in some water, put it in his mouth and sucked it.

Fatty Xu asked, "How is it?"

Chang Feng shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid the well is out of stock."

Chang Feng judged that there was no silver in the well because the well water had no rust smell.

Iron boxes containing silver have sunk in well water for a long time and usually rust.Well water also smells of rust.

Therefore, to check the well, you must first taste the taste of the water.

Chang Feng scooped up some water again, and tasted it carefully—it was sweet and clear, without any rusty smell.

But just to be on the safe side, he let a water ghost captain go down the well.

Lieutenant Shuigui followed the rope down the well, dived into the well water and fumbled for it.No abnormalities were found.

Chang Feng had no choice but to take someone to Dongkuayuan again.There is still no Tibetan silver in the well of Dongkuayuan.

In the next hour, he searched the wells in the west courtyard and the two courtyards carefully, but he didn't find a tael of silver.

Fatty Xu said: "Could it be that Cai Shilang didn't play well?"

Chang Feng said: "It's possible. Although there are eight methods of hiding silver, corrupt officials don't use all of them."

Now only the well in the backyard remains unchecked.

Chang Feng walked to a foot in front of the well in the backyard.He observed the next four weeks, and blurted out: "There is a problem!"

Fatty Xu asked, "What's the problem?"

Chang Feng pointed to a house in front of the well: "That's Cai Zhong's bedroom. Even ordinary people who don't understand the art of yin and yang feng shui know that wells cannot be drilled behind the bedroom."

"Dig a well behind the bedroom, and the well will block the energy of the host's house. It is easy to offend villains and hinder childbirth."

"Cai Zhong's Minister's Mansion is so carefully built, how could he make such a mistake? Drilling the well behind the bedroom? He doesn't want to have a son anymore?"

He walked quickly to the well and looked down.There is no water in the well, it is a dry well!
Chang Feng let out a long sigh of relief: "Fatty, our brother's badge and future are saved this time."

Fatty Xu asked: "How do you say that?"

Chang Feng said: "Do you remember meeting that fortune teller in the morning, what did he say? Ask for money to get money, but the money doesn't belong to you. The money seems to be in the water, but it's actually in the soil."

"The dry well looks like a well. It seems to have water, but in fact there is no water. There is only soil under the well. Doesn't it correspond to the words of the fortune teller?"

Fatty Xu suddenly realized: "I see. There must be money buried under this dry well."

Chang Feng went down the well himself with a shovel on his back.

Down to the bottom of the well, the clods at the bottom of the well have dried up.

Chang Feng picked up the shovel and dug down one by one.

While digging, he chanted, praying for the blessing of the patriarch.

"Zhao Gongming, hey yo! Help, hey yo! The house was raided by order, hey yo! The gold and silver treasures, hey yo! We found them all, hey yo!"

He filled the excavated soil directly into the bucket, and Fatty Xu above turned the wheel, transported it out of the well and dumped it.

Chang Feng almost exerted all his strength, digging for half an hour, and dug down three feet.However, there was no sign of Yinzi at all!

The underground space is limited, so you can't shake your head.Holding the shovel in the arm, I exerted great effort.

Chang Feng felt that his hands were sore and his legs trembled slightly.In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Fatty Xu to hang him out of the well.

Hanging to the middle of the well, Chang Feng's hand accidentally touched the blue bricks used to build the well wall.The skin on the back of his hand was scratched, but it was nothing serious.

After coming out of the well, Chang Feng was a little unwilling: "It seems to be in the water, but in fact, it should be this dry well in the soil. How could it be possible to get nothing?"

Fatty Xu said: "Didn't you always disbelieve in charlatans' fortune-telling and fortune-telling? Why are you so superstitious today?"

Chang Feng didn't speak.

People who don't usually believe in ghosts and gods will also regard metaphysical rhetoric as a life-saving straw when they are in desperate situations.

Chang Feng ordered several warriors: "You guys take turns going down the well. Take turns every two quarters. Even if you dig into the underworld, you have to dig out the silver for me today!"

A wrestler went down the well first.

Moments passed by.Dig until the end of noon.The dry well was dug down a foot.Where is the shadow of silver?
The last wrestler came out of the well and said to Chang Feng: "General Banner, the bottom of the well is starting to seep water beads! If you dig further down, the dry well may become a living well!"

Chang Feng showed a disappointed look: "Could it be that there is really no money hidden in this dry well?"

Fatty Xu urged: "Master Chang, the deadline is less than two hours away. Don't waste time on this dry well. Just check Yizang."

The so-called "unusual collection", as the name suggests, refers to the unusual method of Tibetan silver, which is often unexpected.

When Chang Feng ransacked his house before, he encountered people who hid silver in chimneys and in stone lions guarding the gate.

Chang Feng and the wrestlers split up and went back and forth among the six courtyards of the Cai Mansion, looking around for possible hidden silver.

He stopped in front of a big poplar tree in front of Cai Zhong's study.

Chang Feng looked up at the big poplar tree.It doesn't matter at this point, he blurted out: "There is something strange!"

Fatty Xu didn't take it seriously: "You said that there is something wrong with this big poplar tree? No, I know. In front of the study is the Wenchang seat. Wenchang planting trees can bless the descendants."

"This is called the Fuyin tree! There is a big apricot tree planted in front of my father's study. You have eaten the apricots from that tree in summer!"

Chang Feng pointed to an old raven's nest on the tree.Coincidentally, two crows flew out of the nest.

Fatty Xu asked, "What's wrong?"

Chang Feng said: "The old raven's nest on the tree is a crow's nest, not a magpie's! On the Fuyin tree in Wenchang, if there are magpies nesting, it is a good omen. If there are crows nesting, it is a bad omen."

"Generally, there are crows nesting in the Fuyin tree, and the master will ask the servants to poke them down with bamboo poles. If they are built higher, the bamboo poles cannot reach them, and the servants will climb the tree to tear them down."

"Isn't it strange that there is such a big old raven's nest in Cai Zhong's Fuyin tree?"

Fatty Xu thought for a while, and said: "Haha, maybe Cai Zhong showed kindness? He left that old raven's nest behind. It happened to be a bad omen, he committed suicide in fear of crime, and the mansion was raided."

Chang Feng shook his head: "I still feel strange."

He remembered that Shi Wenyi, the school lieutenant who was a "prostitute" last night, was good at climbing trees.

He ordered someone to call Captain Shi, and ordered him to climb up the tree to see if there was anything unusual about the old raven's nest.

Captain Shi found two rags and wrapped them around his hands.He took off his official boots again.As agile as a monkey, he climbed up the tree trunk with his arms around him.

After climbing nearly two feet, he was able to reach out and touch the old raven's nest.

Chang Feng raised his head and looked at Captain Shi.

Captain Shi shouted: "Get out of the way! There's something in the lark's nest! I'll throw it down and hit you carefully!"

Not long after, something fell from the sky. It hit the ground with a "thump".

Fatty Xu exclaimed: "Damn it, it turned out to be."
