Two quarters later.

Bai Fengxi took a booklet and handed it to Gao You: "Brother, this is the residence of the generals in the capital!"

"I copied it from Cheng Shi's study!"

"We can go to these people's homes and slowly search for clues about their private houses!"

Gao You naturally knew where these people's homes were.

However, Gao You was very satisfied that Bai Fengxi could personally copy the locations of these houses.

"Let's go!"

Gao You and the others quickly rushed to the home of the chief general of the Eastern Camp.

After some rummaging.

Bai Fengxi and Yan Sanniang sat slumped on the chairs.

"This military general surnamed Wang is at least a sixth rank. How could his family be so poor?"

Bai Fengxi frowned: "The whole family's property is actually only three pennies!"

"If you tell this, who will believe it!"

Yan Sanniang reached out and took out an ingot of silver from her pocket and put it on the table.

"Sanniang?"

Bai Fengxi frowned: "What do you mean?"

Yan Sanniang smiled: "The whole family only has three pennies!"

"This should be an upright official, I think he should be given a sum of money!"

Bai Fengxi rolled her eyes at Yan Sanniang: "Sanniang, you are right!"

"This person surnamed Wang is an official!"

"It's not our turn to help..."

The two were talking.

Gao You found an openable floor in the corner of the room.

The floor was removed, and there was a small porcelain bottle inside.

Turning the porcelain vase, the wall where the paintings were originally hung suddenly opened, and a secret passage appeared.

"There is a secret room!"

Bai Fengxi stood up excitedly.

Gao You led the two of them directly into the secret room.

The secret room is very large, it looks like a normal living room.

On both sides of the seat are protective bookshelves, and the bookshelves are full of jewels, which are obviously treasures.

"Oh my God!"

Yan Sanniang looked at the treasure on the bookshelf in astonishment: "I thought it was an honest official!"

"I didn't expect to be greedy for so much money!"

"Big brother!"

"Today we ransacked this place."

"With this money, we can help those poor people!"

"Not urgent!"

Gao You waved his hand to stop Yan Sanniang from pretending to be stuffed.

Yan Sanniang looked at Gao You in surprise: "What are you waiting for?"

"Those poor people are still waiting for relief. Let's just loot here, and we will have money!"

Bai Fengxi curled her lips: "Third Sister!"

"Think long-term when doing things, big brother must have his reasons for not letting me do it!"

Yan Sanniang looked at Bai Fengxi: "What reason?"

"Brother is probably afraid of scaring the snake!"

Bai Fengxi looked at Gao You with a smile: "These military generals embezzle the imperial court's armaments, and Wang is definitely not the only one who gets rich!"

"If we loot this place today, other people will definitely become more cautious!"

"I think the eldest brother wants to investigate all corrupt officials, and then catch them all!"

"That's the way to get the most profit!"

Gao You was really afraid of scaring the snake away, so he smiled and said, "What Feng Xi said makes sense!"

"That's what I thought!"

"Look!"

Bai Fengxi looked at Yan Sanniang proudly.

Yan Sanniang curled her lips: "I'm just too impatient!"

"Brother, where are we going now?"

Gao You said, "Look around, see if there are any ledgers or anything like that!"

"With the ledger, we can follow the map and find other corrupt officials!"

Yan Sanniang and the two nodded, and began to look around for the ledger.

A quarter of an hour later.

The three searched through the secret room, but there was no ledger.

"Big brother..."

Yan Sanniang was about to say something, when Bai Fengxi and Gao You suddenly looked up at the entrance of the secret room.

"what happened?"

Yan Sanniang frowned.

Bai Fengxi whispered: "Someone has entered the room outside!"

"I don't know if I will enter the secret room!"

"If you come in..."

Gao You and the three looked around, the whole secret room was only that big.

Although there are bookshelves blocking it, if you want to hide people, you are basically dreaming.

"There's a box over there!"

Yan Sanniang pointed to the wooden box in the distance.

The box was checked by Gao You just now. There are several paintings inside, but most of the space is empty.

It's fine to squat in there alone.

But it would be too difficult to hide three people.

"San Niang, what are you thinking, how could there be three people in there!"

Bai Fengxi curled her lips: "Let's still pray that no one will enter the secret..."

Before the words fell, the three of Gao You heard the sound from the mechanism at the door of the secret room.

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

The three of them ran to the wooden box in a panic.

472 Bai Fengxi asks for help, the stubborn Yan Sanniang

After a moment.

The stone door of the secret room opened, and General Wang from Dongdaying walked in with a middle-aged man.

At this time, the three of Gao You were already squeezed into the box.

Gao You was lying at the bottom, Bai Fengxi and Yan Sanniang could only lay side by side in Gao You's arms.

Although it was a bit strange, three people were stuffed in after all.

Being so close, the three of them became a little strange.

Bai Fengxi quietly opened a gap in the wooden box and peeked out.

"Uncle Dong!"

Bai Fengxi almost shouted.

She never expected that Mr. Wang would bring Cheng Shi's own uncle to this secret room.

There are so many treasures hidden in this secret room.

If it weren't for someone close to him, it would be impossible for Lord Wang to bring Uncle Dong in.

This Mr. Wang embezzles ordnance, and Uncle Dong has something to do with him?

Could it be that Uncle Dong is also involved in this matter.

Bai Fengxi remembered that Uncle Dong's job was found by Cheng Shi.

If the court really pursues it, the Cheng family will probably be implicated by Uncle Dong!

Yan Sanniang was so frightened that she quickly covered Bai Fengxi's mouth.

Bai Fengxi also knew that she had lost her composure, so she quickly wrote on the back of Yan Sanniang's hand: "I won't talk anymore!"

Only then did Yan Sanniang let go of her hand.
