Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2334 It Turns Out to be Hidden Here 30.0

"It's a good trick, one thing after another. We thought we were done after arresting a group of people, but who would have thought there would be more than one." Shen Cha shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said, "It's a bit heartbreaking to talk about it. It's really hard for him."

"Is it difficult?" Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and said, "Indeed, it is not easy to spend so much effort for such a small thing at such an old age."

"That's just a few things?" Shen Jiu blinked, "Isn't this a lot?"

"If we can really find the things that were hidden back then, it would be a lot of stuff. Wealthy enough to rival a country is not just a casual remark." Xia Jiu nodded at Shen Jiu, then looked at Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian, and said, "Just now, while we were waiting for the two brothers, we took a good look at the iron box and found a lot of problems."

"Really?" Shen Cha raised her eyebrows slightly, "Tell me what you found out."

"Sister, that box is not light, and it is not made of ordinary iron sheets. I touched it and it was very heavy." Seeing Shen Cha looking at him, Xia Jiu waved his hand, "I touched it through gloves, it's okay. When we came out, Sister Miaomiao also sprayed some detoxification medicine on us and gave us detoxification pills."

"That's right." Shen Jiu added, "Although I can't see what's so special about the iron box, the workmanship and the carved patterns on the box don't look like the ones we have here. At least they're not from the last few decades. They're probably about 70 or 80 years old."

"What kind of carvings can be found on an iron box?" Xue Ruitian's curiosity was immediately piqued by Xia Jiu's words. He looked at his two younger brothers, grinned, and said, "Come to think of it, what other carvings can you two understand?"

"What's so strange about this?" Xia Jiu put his hands on his hips and raised an eyebrow at Xue Ruitian. "You've seen it so many times, so you'll remember it, right? I've been exposed to it since I was a child, and I've seen these things so many times, so they're not very complicated. But, I've never seen anything on this box before." He looked at Shen Cha, "Sister has also seen it just now, do you have any impression of it?"

"I don't remember." Shen Cha shook his head gently, "But it's definitely not a common pattern, it's quite rare."

"Really?" Xia Jiu yawned and looked around in the yard. "Sister, you know what, this place is pretty good."

"Like it?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow. "If you like it, how about giving it to you?"

"That's not necessary. By comparison, I prefer living in the camp." Xia Jiu thought for a moment, then moved closer to Xue Ruitian and asked in a low voice, "By the way, how is Old Lu?"

"Old Lu?" Xue Ruitian glanced at Shen Haolin who was whispering to Shen Cha, "Why are you asking me about him? Shouldn't you ask your cousin?"

"My cousin doesn't like to ask about this kind of thing. It's not your interest!" Xia Jiu pulled Xue Ruitian's sleeve, "Is he emotionally stable?"

"He was in good shape during this morning's training. It seems that he has come to terms with it." Xue Ruitian chuckled. "He probably wanted to ask us why we drove Xiaoyun away, but Zixin and the others stopped him."

"Maybe he feels guilty for being so unreasonable!" Xia Jiu sighed, "In fact, they both have their own reasons. There is no right or wrong. It's just that Lao Lu's knot caused him to make some inappropriate decisions, but there is nothing wrong with it. At least during the drill, there was no problem."

"These are all things he needs to overcome." Xue Ruitian patted Xia Jiu's shoulder, "Others can only play a role in persuasion, the rest depends on him, right?"

"Yeah, it all depends on him." Xia Jiu sighed and looked towards the main hall, "Why haven't Sister Miaomiao and the others finished yet? There's no movement at all, nothing will happen, right?" "Why are you in such a hurry?" Xue Ruitian patted Xia Jiu on the shoulder, "Didn't you all tell me before that there is a mechanism in the iron box and we dare not open it easily? Although they are all good at opening mechanisms, they still need to be cautious when encountering things they have never seen before, right?"

"That's true."

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha heard their conversation, looked at each other, and shook their heads helplessly.

After waiting for almost a cup of tea, Jin Miaomiao finally came out of the house tiredly, stood at the door, and waved at them.

"Come in, it's ready."

Following Jin Miaomiao out were the craftsmen, all of whom looked very tired. Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian thanked them for their hard work and arranged for the guards to take them to the nearby rooms to rest.

The craftsmen bowed and thanked everyone, then followed the guards.

After watching the craftsmen leave, several people walked to the door of the house and watched her take off the mask on her face, take off the soft armor on her body, wash her hands in the basin prepared by Merlin, and then take the tea handed to her by Merlin and take two sips.

"It's open, come and take a look!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Cha smiled and was about to go in, but was stopped by Jin Miaomiao again. "What's wrong?" Seeing the anti-poison pill that Jin Miaomiao took out, she raised her eyebrows slightly, took it and put it in her mouth, "What's going on? Didn't you say there was no danger?"

"Others may be safe, but you may not be. It's better to be safe than sorry." Jin Miaomiao took the water handed over by Merlin, watched Shen Cha eat the pill, and handed the water over again. "I have a feeling that Master Falian is not looking for the lost property, but this." She looked at Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian, Shen Cha and Xia Jiu, and said in a low voice, "This is an incredible thing."

"Really?" Seeing Jin Miaomiao also feeding the others, Shen Cha sighed softly, "It's an incredible thing, so it must be very valuable?"

"It certainly won't fetch much money, but for us, it's worth a fortune." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "For Master Falian, it's a deadly thing."

"Really?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, then at Xue Ruitian, "Can they get this?"

“I have to say that the Xuanyuan family, even the prodigals and unfilial sons, have more brains and schemes than other families.” Jin Miaomiao paused, “Or maybe they were lucky and thought that the box contained something valuable, but they couldn’t open it and didn’t want others to find it, so they buried it deep underground.”

"Are there any signs of prying on the iron box?"

"Well, they tried to open it, but failed. They were afraid of destroying the things inside, so..." Jin Miaomiao waited for the anti-poison pill to take effect before turning sideways to let everyone in. "You will know what it is after you see it."
