Lord and leave

Chapter 51

Chu Liyue couldn't help but looked at Zhu Bingling in surprise. It was the first time she heard these things, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Based on her experience, she couldn't understand how her biological parents would treat her children like this, so she couldn't help saying apologetically. , "I'm sorry, sister, I really don't know these..."

"What do you have to apologize for? I'm not living a good life now. I'm living the same without them." Zhu Bingling smiled.

Chu Liyue wiped away her tears, "I'd better take you in quickly, and listen to my nonsense here."

Zhu Bingling nodded with a smile but didn't object, but saw that she didn't go inside any further, and went straight to the place where the tables and chairs were placed in the main room, and stopped immediately, but suddenly turned around, "Sister, You might have to get out of the way, or you'd just fall right through."

After hearing Chu Liyue's words, Zhu Bingling looked down, stepped aside, and asked a little strangely. "Is the entrance here?"

Chu Liyue didn't explain but just smiled and said nothing, stretched out his hand to break it gently in the corner, and saw that the floor that was still intact just now was slowly cut open, revealing a one-meter-square hole. The descending stairs appeared in front of my eyes, and the design was very ingenious. Even if Zhu Bingling had guessed it before, she didn't see any strangeness at all. I don't know how to make it without a trace.

Zhu Bingling couldn't help laughing when she saw it, "It seems that the people who designed these in your family really know how to think about people's hearts. The easier it is to find, the safer it is. It's not just that such an important place was directly abandoned before, but now it's more Just before this, the darkroom was built in a place where people come and go, it seems that it is not accidental that your Chu family can develop into the scale it is now, and this kind of scheming is not something ordinary people can have."

"But what's the use of that? In the end, I still can't beat the officials." Chu Liyue sighed, "Sister, it seems that you are right. If you want to be strong, you must balance the power of the officials, so that you can become stronger and stronger."

Zhu Bingling knew that Chu Liyue was different this time, so she turned to look at her, "Xiaoyue, as the heir of the Chu family, you must also inherit their business talent, then I will give you the best platform Whatever you do, I will try my best to make this platform free from outside interference, so that such things will never happen again."

"Thank you sister, I will never let you down again." Chu Liyue couldn't help showing a trace of longing on her face when she heard this. Since she was born in such a family and was destined to be the heir, how could she not have such a wish in her heart? Defeated, I no longer have this thought, I think as long as I can get revenge.

But I didn't expect that now not only revenge, but even the former family business can be revived, and these are all thanks to Zhu Bingling, how can we not thank her? Hearing Zhu Bingling's words at this time, I wish I could give my I dug out my heart and showed it to her.

"Actually, you don't need to thank me. You've done it well, so I'm fine too." Zhu Bingling smiled lightly and shook her head, then looked down at the secret room, "How long has anyone been here?"

"It's been more than a year. In the past few years, my father would come to add some money every few months, but later I felt that although the family business was getting bigger and bigger, the working capital needed was also getting bigger and bigger. I also felt that the money here It’s almost there, so I haven’t come here again, and the more I come, the more traces will be left, it’s not suitable for hiding, so I gradually stopped coming.” Chu Liyue thought for a while, besides answering her question, she also asked her father’s The original intention was explained, but it was really not hidden at all.

"Since no one has come for so long, let's wait and enter." Zhu Bingling said, lighting the torch on the table, and carefully stretching it down. Modern people know that a secret room that has not been used for a long time will definitely lack oxygen , and it will be full of carbon monoxide. If it goes on like this, not only will you not get the money, but you may stay here directly.

However, Zhu Bingling underestimated the wisdom of the ancients after all. When Chu Liyue saw her actions, she understood what she was worried about, and smiled lightly, "Sister, I am too worried. Although no one has entered this secret room for a long time, it was designed at the beginning. When we entered, we had already considered the issue of ventilation, so don’t say a year, even if it’s locked inside for a few years, it’s fine, and there won’t be any foul smell if you go in right away.”

Zhu Bingling was a little surprised when he heard that, and seeing that the torch was still alive, he couldn't help admiring the designers of this era. They don't know any science, and haven't gone to any architectural university, but they can turn a simple The underground secret room was built with such a good ventilation device that he couldn't help laughing, "I'm so stupid."

After hearing Zhu Bingling's words, Chu Liyue smiled, "It's no wonder my sister, after all, if ordinary underground secret rooms are not entered for a long time, not only will the smell be bad, but it will also become moldy and damp, but this secret room was built by a famous artist. Those problems are naturally gone.

It was not designed to hide gold and silver when it was originally designed. You know that the wars in various countries are serious now. Most of these darkrooms are actually Tibetans. When the war burns here, the whole family will hide in it. So of course it can't be airtight. "Zhu Bingling was relieved when she heard her explanation, but she was also curious about the famous artist she mentioned. Could it be that she is still a senior designer, so she didn't think it was embarrassing to ask, so she asked directly," Are there celebrities? "

"Of course, if my sister wants to meet her, I can introduce it for you. Although my father is gone, we still have friendship, so I should be able to contact him." Chu Liyue took the torch and walked down to lead the way for Zhu Bingling.

"I don't really need it now, but I don't know for sure in the future. Maybe it will be really useful. Then you can recommend it." Zhu Bingling nodded and followed her.

"Of course it's okay." Chu Liyue nodded with a smile.

As Zhu Bingling walked down and looked around, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In this era, there are no large-scale machinery, let alone various instruments, and construction and measurement are only done manually. How can there be such a scale and sophistication? It's really not easy, the more I admire the wisdom of the ancients in my heart.

The two walked forward for a while, passed the first narrow passage, and could see the open room ahead, but Chu Liyue stopped suddenly, stretched out her hand to stop Zhu Bingling, but found that she had already stopped first, But he laughed, "My sister is really powerful. The mechanism here is so secret that you can find it. It seems that there will be no danger if I don't take it with me."

Zhu Bingling thought to herself, no matter how powerful the people of this era are, they can't be as powerful as the high-tech in the previous life. Although the design of this mechanism is ingenious, compared with the troubles she experienced, it is not enough. It can only be regarded as a little witch seeing a big witch. It is really like what Chu Liyue said. Zhu Bingling believes that even without Chu Liyue leading the way, she can enter and exit this secret room safely. It also has something to do with her equipment, but it has nothing to do with her ability.

But even if she believed in Chu Liyue again, she couldn't tell her these things, so she didn't explain, and asked directly, "If the mechanism here is triggered, what will be the result?"

Chu Liyue walked towards the side of the stone wall, carefully turned off the mechanism, and then explained, "There are three organs in the entire secret room, and this is just the first one. If the mechanism is not closed, it will be triggered after a few steps forward. After touching it, thousands of arrows will be fired in the entire secret room, even the seemingly safe passage we passed before will have arrows shot out without any dead ends.

Even if you can avoid this, there are two places ahead, namely the poisonous gas and the stone wall. The stone walls will soon join together, even if they are not crushed to death, trapped here, there is nothing but gold and silver, and they will die of thirst and starvation.The thought is really thoughtful, it seems that the person who designed this place is not only a master architect, but also a master of hidden weapons, otherwise how could he come up with such an exquisite design. "Zhu Bingling listened and smiled. Although these mechanisms are not difficult for her, it is really not easy to do them manually, and there is no flaw in the interlocking mechanism," I really thought Who knows what kind of person can steal things from here. "Chu Liyue smiled complacently, and the two of them walked forward. Chu Liyue closed the two organs in the back one by one. This was really familiar to her and couldn't be more familiar. She could find it with her eyes closed.

And after passing through the three agencies, the gold and silver hidden by the Chu family is already in sight, and they are allowed to take it.

Looking at the boxes filled with stone rooms, Zhu Bingling really had a headache. To be honest, Zhu Bingling was not excited when she saw these things.

It's just that she is used to checks and gold cards, money is just a number, and she doesn't have the excitement about these gold and silver jewels. Although she also knows that these are valuable, she can't get excited anyway. The only thing I think about now is how to get out so much money, and thinking about this makes my headache even worse.

When Zhu Bingling saw these gold and silver, his face was still calm, and he couldn't help but said with emotion, "Sister is different, if someone else saw these, I'm afraid I'm already excited and don't know what to do. But my sister didn't react at all, which is really admirable, even this state of mind is enough for me to learn."

But Zhu Bingling smiled wryly, "What state of mind, how can I be unhappy when I see so much money at once, I was just thinking, why must such a heavy thing be used as currency, why can't I change it to something lighter."

Chu Liyue burst out laughing, "It seems that I still think highly of my sister, but what you think is always unexpected."

"How many taels of silver are there in total?" Zhu Bingling shook her head indifferently. She really had no idea about the amount of silver, so she asked.

"There are a total of more than 50 taels of silver, 1000 taels of gold, and a lot of high-quality jewelry. If you need money urgently, you can sell it. All of these can be sold for several 10 taels, but there is no exact price." Lou character, I will read it later." Chu Liyue said it without thinking after hearing it, "There is also 20 taels of bank notes."

"A bank note?" Zhu Bingling froze for a moment, then thought of the ancient passbook, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Chu Liyue nodded, and said with a smile, "Yes, it's a bank note. A friend of my father's owns a bank. Once the capital turnover was difficult, it was my father who transferred 20 taels of silver from outside overnight and deposited it in his bank. Although I survived the difficulties later, my father did not take out the cash and kept the bank notes here.

But other people don't know about that friend, so he was not affected, and these bank notes can still be used.It’s still better to keep it in your arms, or if we two women really take 20 taels of silver back, let’s not talk about whether we can carry it, even if we can take it back, such a heavy box, others will see it I also understand what it is, not telling the robbers to come and rob us. "Zhu Bingling couldn't help making a joke when she heard it, but she also expressed her heart, and it can be seen how much she resented the current currency system.
