Chapter 341: Emptying the Basement 2
Everything went according to plan and went smoothly. Tang Yishan opened the warehouse door much faster than expected. She opened the warehouse door almost at the moment the guard was poisoned.
Everyone dragged the guard into the warehouse. As soon as the door was closed, the secret guard who had already changed his clothes was already standing at the warehouse door.
After just a few breaths, another team of patrolling guards came over from afar.
Ye Jintang patted his chest. He was so nervous just now. If they moved a little slower, they would be seen by the patrolling guards.
"Yishan, go unlock the basement."
The basement door was right at the innermost part of the warehouse, without any cover, and it appeared clearly in front of everyone.
Tang Yisan didn't dare to delay and immediately stepped forward to take action.
The two-key lock was not difficult, and she opened it in no time.
After the door opened, Ye Jintang looked up and smiled.
She said that in such an important place, how could Hua Cailiang only put a mechanical lock with two keys? It turned out that it was just a decoy.
When the gate was opened, there was a stone door in front of him, with two iron chains as thick as arms hanging on it.
The mechanism locks connecting the chains have three keys and four keys respectively.
The mechanism lock with four keys was extremely conspicuous and was as big as two palms.
"Yishan, can you see if the lock with four keys can be opened?"
Ye Jintang frowned. If the mechanism lock with four keys could not be opened, their trip today would probably be in vain.
The soundproofing in the warehouse is not very good. If the lock is broken by force, the patrolling guards will be attracted before the stone door is opened.
"Let me try."
Tang Yisan took off the silver hairpin on her head and went to open the mechanism lock with four keys.
As long as you can open the mechanism lock with four keys, you don't have to worry about the one with three keys.
Time passed minute by minute, and Tang Yisan finally inserted the fourth hairpin on her head into the keyhole.
Just then, voices suddenly came from outside the warehouse door.
In the quiet night, the voices outside can be heard very clearly.
"What time is it, brother?"
"I don't know either. My legs are numb from standing for so long, how can I remember what time it is?"
The patrolling guards laughed.
"Just hold on a little longer, and you'll be able to change shifts soon."
The patrolling guard chatted for a few words and then left. Everyone in the warehouse was so frightened that they dared not breathe, for fear that the identity of the secret guard would be discovered.
Tang Yishan suddenly whispered, "Okay."
With a click, the four key locks opened.
"I said you were hiding your abilities."
The three-key mechanism lock was opened quickly without much effort.
Ye Jintang looked at the open stone door and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. If Tang Yisan hadn't been here today, they would have returned empty-handed.
Inside the stone gate is a small bluestone path with no steps. There are eternal lamps lit on both sides of the walls, illuminating the entire bluestone path.
Ye Jintang took a look at the bluestone slab and her heart began to pound. This kind of design without steps was usually used to transport heavier items, so it was obvious that there must be a big surprise waiting for her in the basement.
"Xuetuan, Huoyan, both of you follow me in."
"Meow..."
Xuetuan walked in front with the flames on his head, and Ye Jintang followed closely behind.
Soon Ye Jintang's figure disappeared at the end of the bluestone road. Xiao Mo, standing at the stone gate, had a solemn expression on his face, feeling mixed emotions and still feeling uncomfortable.
He hoped that such a thing would never happen again, and he hoped that no matter what Ye Jintang did, he would be able to stay with her.
The basement was much deeper than expected. After turning two corners, Ye Jintang finally entered the basement.
When she stood at the door of the basement and looked at everything inside, she was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
She was already extremely shocked when she emptied the vault of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, but compared with everything before her, the vault of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was nothing but a drop in the ocean.
The basement was very large, at least two hundred square meters, and countless wooden boxes filled with gold, silver, and jewelry were piled up like a small mountain.
Open any wooden box and you will find valuable items inside.
Gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, silks and satins, as well as gold coins and gems from overseas.
Ye Jintang even saw many precious animal skins.
She walked around the basement and felt that her eyes were not enough.
I don’t know how the Hua family accumulated such a huge fortune.
Ye Jintang didn't have time to appreciate it here, so he waved his hand and put everything into the space.
Originally, there was a large empty area in her space. After putting all the things in the basement into it, her space was full, and even the edge of the farmland was filled with boxes and cages.
"Oh my god, there are too many things."
When Ye Jintang put all the things into the space, he was completely stunned. Not counting the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry, the gold and silver bars alone were worth 130 million taels of silver.
At first she thought there was something wrong with the space, so she calculated it again and made sure that the amount of silver was correct.
"The Hua family is really powerful. They are even better at amassing wealth than Imperial Noble Consort Dehui."
Ye Jintang took a look at the empty basement and walked back in a good mood.
She felt that if she squeezed a little in the space, the things in the warehouse could be put in.
Ye Jintang went down to the basement and came back in just a quarter of an hour.
"Is it done?"
"Okay, you go first, I'll take a look at the warehouse to see if there are any valuable items."
When Ye Jintang came out of the basement, she found that only Xiao Mo was standing there waiting for her. Everyone else had already gone to the warehouse door, ready to leave at any time.
"it is good."
Le Chuan lay in the crack of the warehouse door and watched the patrolmen outside leave. They immediately carried the knocked out guard out and woke him up only after Ye Jintang and his group left.
The four guards thought they were too tired to fall asleep, and did not suspect that the four people talking to them at this moment were the King of Qin's secret guards.
Ye Jintang looked back in the direction of the warehouse, feeling extremely happy. At this moment, the warehouse and the basement were empty, and she didn't even leave a piece of paper for the Hua family.
The group hurried back to the palace, as there was still some time before they could light the prayer lanterns.
While Xiao Mo was changing clothes, Shi Bin couldn't help but ask, "Prince, can the princess go to the basement and take a look? Can we empty the basement?"
"Don't be so curious, just wait and count the money later."
"Hey, how can I not be curious? The princess was alone, but she was able to empty the basement of the city lord's mansion without anyone noticing. It's incredible to think about it."
"Your Majesty, could the princess be a fairy from heaven?"
"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and get to work. I'm tired today. I'll light the blessing lamp and go to bed early."
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, you are not curious about the treasures in the basement. Don't you want to know how much silver is in the basement?"
"You'll know in a moment."
Looking at Xiao Mo's smug face, Shi Bin knew without hesitation that he could go and ask Ye Jintang in the evening.
Shi Bin was jealous to death. When he found Ruoyu, he would show off in front of Xiao Mo every day. He thought, "He just has a wife. What's there to be proud of?"
