I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 846

But no one would foolishly put all the gold into a ball.

Consider the current convenience of gold circulation.

It is cast into gold bars or gold pancakes of about one ingot and one catty, which is not only convenient for counting, but also convenient for carrying.

More than 20 tons of gold are split into gold bars of one piece, that is tens of thousands of pieces.

Pile up the whole room, but it makes sense.

Wang Cheng had never seen so much gold with his own eyes, and he couldn't imagine what it would be like to see a room full of gold.

But Cao Ran, as Ma Dazhong's most trusted person, was fortunate to have witnessed such a grand scene.

When Ma Dazhong is free, he has a special habit of appreciating the gold in the room.

But at the same time for the convenience of safety and appreciation.

Not only did he build the gold chamber extremely strong, but it was almost impossible for outsiders to break through the defense there with huge profits.

It is precisely because Cao Ran knew about Ma Dazhong's design, and also saw the place where the money was hidden with his own eyes, and knew that almost no one could raid the place, that he dared to say these things to Wang Cheng, his "own man" with confidence. .

Wang Cheng pretended to be very interested, and hurriedly asked,

"Eunuch Cao, have you ever seen with your own eyes that the Grand Master really has so much gold?"

Cao Ran continued to say with the strength of wine and the heart of showing off,

"Of course, our family personally supervised the construction of the secret room. It took a full year and two months, and thousands of dans of Sanhe soil alone were used!"

Hearing this, Wang Cheng immediately noticed something unusual in it.

It stands to reason that even if it is a secret project, it will not take so long. Moreover, it is only a secret room to be built. How big it can be, it will only be a few dozen square meters if it is exhausted.

How could it be possible to use thousands of loads of Sanhe soil.

But he racked his brains and couldn't figure out the reason for this.

So he asked tentatively, pretending not to believe,
"Eunuch Cao, are you joking? A secret room is only the size of a house. How could it take so long and use so much compound soil!"

Cao Ran was in high spirits, how could he allow Wang Cheng to be dissatisfied.

He immediately explained aloud,

"That's all you don't know!
Do you know Xuanwu Lake in the west of the city? "

As soon as Wang Cheng heard that the meat scene was coming, he immediately cheered up, nodded and said,

"Well, of course the villain knows, doesn't the old man still have a big house over there?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly pretended to be surprised, lowered his voice and said,

"Eunuch Cao, it could be that the old man's gold is hidden in that house!"

Cao Ran seemed to wake up a little suddenly. He made a silent gesture, looked left and right, and found that no one was paying attention, so he smiled and said,

"Actually, this is not a big secret, you will know sooner or later.

You guessed it right, that's where the gold is hidden! "

Wang Cheng was so happy that he almost jumped up to celebrate.

But he still pretended to be sincere and sincere, and said,

"Eunuch Cao trusts the villain so much, and is willing to tell the villain such a secret news, what an honor for the villain!
Come to Eunuch Cao, the villain toasts you! "

The two continued to drink while pushing and changing cups.

At this time, Wang Cheng rolled his eyes and continued the previous topic, saying,
"Eunuch Cao, I remember that there are quite a few people living in Xuanwu Lake. In such an important place, you shouldn't be afraid of the crowds. If someone accidentally discovers the clue, it will make you think otherwise!"

I thought Cao Ran would be angry if I said that.

But what Wang Cheng didn't expect was that Cao Ran was not only not angry, but also laughed out loud.

"So what if someone finds out.

The secret room was personally supervised by our family, and it took more than a year to find countless skilled craftsmen to build it. Not only is it extremely strong, but it also has an ultimate killer.

Even if there are outsiders who really want to break into the secret room, no matter how many people come, they are all experts, and even one of them will not be able to survive if they keep them. "

When Wang Cheng heard this, his spine suddenly felt cold, and he hurriedly asked,

"Ah, Eunuch Cao, are you joking? What kind of agency is so powerful!"

Cao Ran might have really drunk too much. Seeing that Wang Cheng didn't believe it, he sneered and said,

"You also know that the old man's Zhuangzi is next to Xuanwu Lake, right?"

Wang Cheng nodded, without saying a word, poured him another glass of wine calmly.

Cao Ran took a sip and continued,
"Actually, that secret room was built under Xuanwu Lake! It took us nearly a year to dig a secret passage from under Zhuangzi directly to the lake, and then it took us two months to build a tunnel there. Strong chamber.

If it wasn't for the time-consuming digging of such a difficult tunnel, how could it have taken more than a year and thousands of loads of compound soil. "

At this moment, Wang Cheng fully understood why it took so long to build such a secret room, and why such a precious triad of clay was used.

For feelings, they actually built the secret room in such a secret place. If Cao Ran hadn't told him today, he wouldn't be able to figure it out even if he wanted to.

In fact, hearing the secrets that Wang Cheng wanted to know here was almost the same.

But after Cao Ran said so much, he still didn't say what the ultimate killer of this secret room is.

So he said cautiously again,

"Eunuch Cao, you are really a strange person. The villain can't imagine that you can come up with such a brilliant idea. It must have been very difficult when it was built!"

Cao Ran gave a rare sigh,

"Actually, digging the tunnel itself is not difficult.

It's just that if the tunnel is dug under the lake, it will be a thousand times more difficult.

During the construction of the tunnel alone, seven or eight craftsmen were drowned in the tunnel due to accidental water seepage! "

Hearing this, Wang Cheng visibly shook.

He seemed to suddenly understand what the trump card Cao Ran was talking about.

The tunnel was built under Xuanwu Lake, so it must be deep and long.

If they do something at a certain node in the tunnel, then in case they encounter an unstoppable enemy.

It may only need a little gunpowder, or lightly flip a mechanism, and the whole tunnel will be submerged in the massive Xuanwu Lake in an instant.

The enemies in the dashing path were tightly trapped in a long and narrow tunnel. No matter how high the martial arts were, no matter how many people there were, it would be of no use.

He secretly exclaimed in his heart,

"This Cao Ran has such a poisonous mind. He actually came up with such a sinister method!"

What he said earlier was correct. With such a design, they were really not afraid of anyone robbing them. As long as there was one person alive in the manor, those who entered the tunnel would surely die.
