Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 82 The Song Family's Treasure House

Yang Qian was very curious, what kind of treasure trove did the Song family have that could scare Chen Dong so much that he dared not handle it himself?
Could there be a mountain of gold hidden inside?
After Yang Qian followed Chen Dong through the twists and turns of the Song Mansion for a long time, they finally saw how much thought had gone into building the Song family's treasure house under a secret door in the garden.

It would cost an incredible amount just to hollow out the underground of the garden and cover it with strange rocks and a small lake.

What's more, the entrance is more than 60 feet deep underground! There is a large iron door more than three inches thick at the entrance. This specification is stronger than the government's silver vault.

"This is what I just learned from the accountant. He said that all the good things of the Song family are placed here. Usually only a limited number of people from the Song family can come in. I was shocked when I went in just now."

Knowing that Chen Dong was keeping him in suspense, Yang Qian did not ask. He glanced at the big lock hanging on the iron gate and pushed the door open. He was greeted by an unpleasant smell of medicine.

And after opening the door, he found that the room was much bigger than Yang Qian had imagined.

"What's that smell?"

"It's a potion to apply to the silver ball to prevent it from changing color. It's not poisonous, but the smell can't be dispersed here so it doesn't smell very good."

"Silver ball?!"

Yang Qian was just about to ask "What are the silver balls?", but as soon as he entered the door, he saw right in front of him a row of huge silver balls, two inches taller than his knees, neatly placed in shallow grooves on the ground.

"Master Yang, according to the accountant, each of these silver balls weighs 600 kilograms. There are thirteen of them here. These silver balls are huge and are used to protect the family assets. They will not be used casually. Making them so big can also prevent them from being stolen.

There were ten boxes of normal silver ingots at the back, each containing five hundred taels.

There are also gold flakes, five boxes in total, each box is two hundred taels."

Are there so many yellow and white things?

Moreover, the idea of ​​making silver into a big ball is not weird, but extravagant. At least in Yang Qian's two lives, this is the first time he has seen such an extravagant and inhumane behavior. He had never seen such a scene when he searched Liu Chengkun's house before. He thought to himself that it was worthy of being the residence of the former general of Sandao City. This "background" was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary merchants.

After a moment of silence, Yang Qian asked, "Which account are these things in?"

"It's from the secret account, and there are many things in it that cannot be seen in public. But if the accountant knows about it, it's probably not the most important thing for the Song family. Wang Shigui is still interrogating the people of the Song family, but he hasn't found out yet."

The secret account means that everything here can be moved under the table.

In other words, it is "oil and water" that can be used for manipulation.

It's just that there is so much money and so scary stuff here that Chen Dong didn't dare to act arbitrarily and went to call Yang Qian over.

Moreover, there is more than just gold and silver goods in this huge treasure house.

"Master Yang, this is the list of the treasure house, please take a look." Chen Dong also kept swallowing his saliva. Especially after knowing that there must be a share of the things in it for him, his heartbeat could not stop.

Chen Dong never thought that one day he would be scared because of having too much money.

Yang Qian took the list and began to look at it. He soon realized that the silver balls and gold pieces in the treasure house were not the most valuable things here. There were real "treasures" here.

Antiques and rare treasures are the main storage items in this treasure house. There are no less than a hundred items in total! There are even many items that you can tell from the Hongwu Dynasty palace just by hearing their names.

"According to the accountant, except for the silver balls, other things in the treasury are frequently in and out. Especially some antiques, it is common for them to come in last month and go out next month. As for where they went, the accountant said they were sent to our Jizhou Prefecture and Pingzhou Prefecture. As for the purpose, they were said to be used as gifts."

Li Xin? Bullshit Li Xin, it's just a bribe. Yang Qian muttered in his heart, and asked at the same time: "Does the Song family still have business in Pingzhou Prefecture?"

"Master Yang, you forgot that Song Qixun has two sons. Song Yuan is the youngest son, and his eldest son is Song Ming. He is currently serving as a general in the military yamen in Pingzhou Prefecture. The Song family should be sending something to help Song Ming take care of things."

Yang Qian nodded. He had indeed forgotten about it.

Returning his attention to the business, Yang Qian was silent for a while, and tore off the pages in the account book in his hand that recorded the specific amount of gold and silver in the treasury.

"These antiques and treasures are beyond the reach of the roughnecks in our Sandaocheng Police Station, so we should leave them to the officials in the government offices and the prefectures to study. You brothers can just use these yellow and white things to drink tea."

Chen Dong's eyes bulged.

Drink, drink tea?
I'm afraid even if you drink tea for dozens of lifetimes you still wouldn't be able to spend that much money, right?
But Master Yang is mighty!

Chen Dong was so excited that he almost jumped up and down, but he had seen some big scenes before and knew only to say some polite words. At the same time, he was a little scared about the huge amount of money.

"Master Yang, isn't this too much? Or..."

"What do you mean by too many? The brothers from the police station and the government office are also indispensable. And there are also Lord Pang Yi Pang, Lord Zhou Yiming, and Lord Bai Jingwen from the prefecture military office who came this time. Aren't they going to be sent away?
It's just that these things are in the hands of our three cities on paper. Otherwise, if anyone reports this to the higher-ups, it will be difficult for us to step down.

But, the biggest share should go to our brothers first. They are all earned through hard work, otherwise it will disappoint our brothers, right?"

Chen Dong didn't dare to answer. There was too much money, and he felt that his brain was not enough.

"Master Yang, you decide."

Yang Qian patted Chen Dong on the shoulder and walked around the treasure house while smiling, "Aren't there five boxes of gold flakes? Take two boxes out separately and leave them in our Class C. Don't tell anyone about this."

"Ah?" Chen Dong felt his calves trembling.

Two boxes?! One box is worth 200 gold! The 400 gold was divided among the Class C?! Master Yang is so bold!
Just as he was about to speak, Wang Shigui's voice came from outside the treasure house. Yang Qian hurried out after hearing it.

Seeing Wang Shigui’s excited face.

"Master Yang, we found Song Qixun's secret fund!"

"Hmm? Who knows?"

"I asked Song Qixun's wife and threatened her and she told me everything. But I think there must be secret rooms and compartments somewhere else. We have to look for them. If nothing works, we can only wait for Song Qixun to confess himself."

"Don't worry about anything else, take me to have a look." After saying that, Yang Qian said to Chen Dong behind him, "You are responsible for re-accounting the things here, and do as I just said. Do you remember?"

Chen Dong nodded quickly, but this overwhelming wealth still made him feel uneasy.

Wang Shigui looked at Chen Dong, who was walking a little unsteadily, in a strange way, wondering if he was injured or not. Why did he look like he had just stolen a chicken?
But Wang Shigui didn't think much about it. He took Yang Qian to a side yard of the Song family, where Song Qixun usually practiced martial arts.
