Jiang Zhinian entered the tunnel, turned on the tinder, and saw some gold, silver, and jewelry in the house.

When Jiang Zhinian opened the boxes and saw several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, he was surprised.

Didn’t they say that the Marquis’ Mansion was in decline?

For this reason, the old lady and Murong Chuan both planned to take her dowry.

Now looking at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room, they don’t look like they are in dire straits.

This surprised Jiang Zhinian.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Zhinian understood why the old lady was able to train more than a hundred elite personnel.

It turned out that she did have gold, silver and jewelry, and these things could be used to train manpower.

It’s just that the old lady has never shown it to anyone.

The exquisite box lying on the stone bed.

"There is a long-lost mechanism box here?"

This kind of mechanism box was very popular in the previous dynasty, when the Gongsun family, a mechanism family, was extremely prosperous and produced many kinds of mechanism items.

Women are proud to own a secret box.

This kind of box can be used to store women’s private belongings or their private money.

Without a complicated key, it cannot be opened at all.

If you force it open or break it open, the mechanism box will explode into pieces.

However, after the fall of the previous dynasty and the Gongsun family, the technology for making mechanism boxes was lost, and there are almost no mechanism boxes on the market.

Jiang Zhinian walked to the mechanism box, examined it carefully, picked it up and felt its weight.

"It should be a letter from that person to the old lady."

Jiang Zhinian must get his hands on these letters.

"And we must find a chance to ship out these gold, silver and jewelry."

"With these gold, silver and jewelry, we can store more food and do many things."

"We can also equip Wei Wu and the others with more weapons..."

Jiang Zhinian originally planned to take the mechanism box and leave first, but as if she felt something, she walked forward.

There is a stone wall in front, as if this secret room only has this space.

But Jiang Zhinian knocked on the surrounding walls a few times and could feel something different.

She kept knocking and finally found the wrong place. She fumbled around and found the mechanism button. After turning it, the wall slowly opened.

There is actually a secret room inside, but perhaps no one has been in for a long time, and the tables in the entire secret room are covered with a thick layer of dust.

There are many weapons on the shelves.

Jiang Zhinian stepped forward and took a long gun to look at it, "Nice gun!"

Whether it is a spear, sword, whip, long knife, etc., they are all excellent weapons.

Although covered in dust, it can be seen that these weapons are in good condition.

"Could it be something left behind by our ancestor Murong?"

Not only that, there are also some books on the shelves.

Jiang Zhinian picked it up, brushed off the dust, opened it and took a look, "Text from the previous dynasty?"

Although they were characters from the previous dynasty, Jiang Zhinian could recognize them.

"These are actually military books, as well as some books on arranging troops and setting up battle formations?"

“There are also some rare copies that have been lost.”

Although these books are texts from previous dynasties, their contents are shocking enough.

At the end of the previous dynasty, the emperor was incompetent and the government was corrupt. The emperor and even some ministers ordered the burning of many books and the killing of many scholars.

Therefore, there are very few books handed down from the heyday of the previous dynasty, and the few books that were saved by people at the cost of their lives are also solitary copies.

Jiang Zhinian didn't expect to see so many books here.

Jiang Zhinian observed the surroundings again, continued to look for mechanisms, opened them one by one, and walked out along the passage behind them.

As she walked, she unexpectedly found herself outside the city.

This shocked Jiang Zhinian deeply.

“There’s actually a passage leading out of the city!”

Realizing this, Jiang Zhinian was terrified.

She went back quickly, restored all the mechanisms to their original state, and modified them a little to make them more complicated and harder to detect.

……

Fortunately, no one discovered anything when Jiang Zhinian came out.

"No one is going there?"

"Don't worry, ma'am. The Marquis is coaxing Aunt Su all the time."

"Mrs. Lin has been keeping an eye on the Marquis. If the Marquis comes out, Mrs. Lin will hold him back."

Jiang Zhinian nodded, "That's good."

"Send a message to Mother Zhou, asking her to keep an eye on the old lady's yard and not let anyone enter at will."

She had to hurry and take the things in the secret room out and hide them in a safe place.

It can’t be kept in the old lady’s secret room forever.

If Murong Chuan found out, it would be disadvantageous to her if he took these away.

Of course, she didn't think Murong Chuan knew any mechanical skills, especially complicated ones.

But now things were beyond her expectations and imagination, and she had to be more cautious.

We should not underestimate Murong Chuan either.

……

At this time, Murong Chuan was coaxing Su Wanruo.

Originally, Murong Chuan wanted to coax Su Wanruo for a while, and then go to the old lady's room to see if there were any other letters or evidence about his background.

He's going to destroy it.

He was afraid that the old lady had evidence against him.

Now Su Wanruo is restraining the old lady, but what if the old lady can be ruthless?

Murong Chuan did not dare to take it lightly.

Since she has taken the initiative to report it, she cannot be allowed to have a chance to fight back alive.

Murong Chuan was about to leave, but Su Wanruo kept holding Murong Chuan.

"Cousin, I'm scared. I was really scared just now."

"Do you think my aunt will be okay?"

Murong Chuan could only patiently continue to accompany Su Wanruo.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay."

"Although my aunt has been arrested, it shouldn't be a big problem. I will go to visit my aunt inside."

"Cousin, Dr. Luo has also been arrested. What should I do?"

Su Wanruo was still thinking about her physical condition.

Doctor Luo said there is a way to cure her.

All it takes is blood from the heart.

But at this critical moment, Dr. Luo was arrested.

"Don't worry, I'll get you a better doctor, and you'll be fine."

"Your illness is caused by not resting well. As long as you rest more and think less, you will get better soon."

"Don't worry, cousin will not ignore you. Everything I do is for the Marquis' Mansion and for us."

"I care about you in my heart..."

"What I said to you before was not my intention. I blame myself..."

Murong Chuan said these words effortlessly without even thinking or taking them to heart.

Just to please Su Wanruo.

Su Wanruo was actually half-believing and half-doubting.

But she was smart enough to understand that the Marquis' Mansion had changed.

Her aunt had been captured, and Murong Chuan had the final say in the Marquis' Mansion, so she could only rely on him temporarily.

"Cousin, you said you would treat me well, you must keep your word."

"Cousin, if you can't do this, I'll go crazy."

Su Wanruo leaned in Murong Chuan's arms, a sinister look flashed in her eyes.
