Chapter 252: Great Wealth

Waited for a while, sure there was no danger?

Ning Chen carefully touched over and tried to push the stone door...nothing moved.

Did he make a mistake? This oil lamp is not the switch of the stone door.

Or did he turn the wrong direction?

He came to the oil lamp again and was about to reach out to turn the oil lamp, but the stone slab under his feet suddenly flipped and a deep pit appeared.

Ning Chen's feet were empty, and he lost his balance and fell forward.

Damn, there is really a trap!

Fortunately, Ning Chen reacted quickly, one foot firmly placed on the edge of the pit, and when he fell, his two hands supported the other side of the pit, and his body was suspended in the air.

Ning Chen looked down and saw that there were sharp spikes at the bottom of the pit.

He couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he only stepped on it with one foot. If he stepped on it with two feet, the stone slab would flip and fall down, and he would have been riddled with holes.

It seems that the stone slab has loosened after the oil lamp was turned before.

I was more careful at that time, and I jumped out when I heard the click... I guess even the stone slab didn't react.

Ning Chen exerted force with his arms, and the whole person stood up straight.

It seems that this oil lamp is not the mechanism to open the stone door.

Ning Chen observed carefully again.

But apart from the oil lamp, there seems to be nothing that can move?

I turned left just now, will I be able to open the stone door by turning right?

Ning Chen tied one end of the rope to a pillar in the distance, calculated the distance, and tied the other end to his waist, so that even if the same situation occurs again, even if he can't react, he will be pulled by the rope.

He walked along the wall to the oil lamp, grabbed the oil lamp, took a deep breath, and then twisted it to the right.

Click!

Ning Chen ran faster than a rabbit, whooshed more than ten meters, and hid behind the pillar.

There was only a rumbling sound.

Ning Chen looked over and saw that the stone door opened a crack and light came out.

He looked ecstatic, it seemed that he had guessed right.

Ning Chen made sure there was no other danger, then he ran over, grabbed the stone door and pulled it, using both arms to open the stone door.

He hid behind the stone door and looked inside.

"Fuck!!!"

He couldn't take his eyes off it after just one look.

This was a secret room of more than a hundred square meters, with a perpetual lamp on the wall.

The ground was full of boxes, some of which were opened, and the gold, silver and jewelry inside, under the refraction of the light, exuded a dazzling brilliance.

Ning Chen's breathing was rapid, and his eyes were burning.

Who wouldn't be confused by so much gold, silver and treasures?

But he didn't lose himself, and he was still alert, holding a gun and walking in carefully.

After making sure there was no danger, Ning Chen began to enjoy the fruits of his victory.

How much gold, silver and treasures are there here? Ning Chen couldn't estimate.

He opened a few boxes casually, and they were full of gold and silver ingots.

The gold and silver here can no longer be described in taels, but in tons.

Even small change is not enough to enter here.

Ning Chen estimated that the gold and silver here were enough to support an army of 100,000.

He got rich!

The old bastard Zuo Xiang finally did something.

Ning Chen was on top of a pile of gold objects, holding a pile of gold and silver jewelry, pearls and gems in his arms, grinning and giggling.

He was lucky not to have gone insane after suddenly getting such a large fortune.

"Hahaha... I have received this overwhelming wealth..."

After a while, Ning Chen finally calmed down.

He picked two strings of pearl necklaces, hairpins, jade hairpins and the like, and put a handful of gold beans in his pocket, then restored everything to its original state and withdrew.

He didn't plan to touch this batch of gold and silver treasures now.

Anyway, he didn't lack money to spend now.

He always felt that one day he would be able to use this batch of gold and silver treasures.

Ning Chen came to the front yard and told Zhang Youcai to clean up the room for him. He would handle military affairs here next.

And he sent someone to inform Yuan Long and others that they could come here to find him if they had anything.

As for the issue of food, Ning Chen asked people to transfer a few cooks from the army.

......

In the evening, Yuan Long, Pan Yucheng and others came to Mei Mansion.

The situation in Yuzhou City has been temporarily settled.

Today, many rebels have been captured.

There are now 8,000 Changling troops in the city. In addition to the casualties, there are 1,700 soldiers from the musket battalion.

The rest of the soldiers have all withdrawn to the outside of the city.

The captives were also reorganized into the military camp.

"I'll redistribute the tasks."

Ning Chen looked at Mu Anbang, "You will lead the garrison outside the South Gate, and pay special attention to the rebels who disrupted the organization."

Mu Anbang nodded hurriedly, "I obey your orders!"

Ning Chen continued, "The North Gate is handed over to Yuan Long. I will give you 1,500 musketeers and 5,000 soldiers... If the scouts bring back news about the Grand Tutor, you must inform me as soon as possible."

Yuan Long nodded, "Yes!"

Ning Chen paused and said, "The defense of the city will be handed over to Lei An. The soldiers guarding the various street corners should withdraw if they can, so as not to disturb the people."

"But the patrol team cannot withdraw, and must patrol for twelve hours every day... to be loose outside and tight inside."

Lei An leaned forward to accept the order.

Ning Chen arranged a banquet.

"Everyone has worked hard these days! Let's drink a little... But we still have important tasks to do. Don't drink too much, just drink a little to enjoy yourself!"

An hour later, everyone was full and satisfied.

Yuan Long, Mu Anbang and Lei An took their leave first!

"Old Feng, how's your search going?"

Feng Qizheng said with a smile: "I am preparing to report to you? It's all done. The family members of Fuzhou officials have been imprisoned in the county jail, and their family properties have been seized."

"Is it recorded?"

Feng Qizheng nodded, stood up and said, "Wait a moment!"

With that said, he walked out.

After a while, he came back with several brochures in his hands and placed them in front of Ning Chen.

"The property of all officials in Chongzhou is recorded. There are too many things. I don't know where to transport them? I can only seal them temporarily... I sent people to keep an eye on them."

Ning Chen hummed and flipped through the record book.

I didn't find what I wanted in the first book.

Finally, I found the deed record of Mei Mansion in the original book.

Ning Chen said: "Old Feng, I like this house very much. I will erase this house from the record book. You can find the deed of this house and bring it to me tomorrow."

Feng Qizheng nodded, not to mention that Ning Chen only wanted one house now, even ten houses were not a problem.

"No problem, I'll deliver it to you tomorrow!"

Ning Chen was slightly honest and looked at Pan Yucheng, "Old Pan, let's work overtime tonight to sort out the stolen goods in the record book, and then I will send someone to Beijing for your Majesty to make a decision."

Pan Yucheng immediately understood what Ning Chen meant. The sorting he was talking about must mean that some of the stolen goods should be withheld.

"good!"

Pan Yucheng nodded.

Ning Chen had withheld part of the property he had looted from the Royal Court of Beidu last time, and he distributed one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Feng Qi was grinning widely. He also knew what Ning Chen was going to do? Anyway, Ning Chen would definitely not treat him badly.

"Boss, Ning Chen...I think the Jiaofang Secretary of Yuzhou City is quite impressive. How about we...hehehehe..."

Ning Chen looked at Feng Qizheng, who was smiling lustfully, and said angrily: "There are still more than a thousand rebels that have not been found. Are you still in the mood to go to the Jiaofang Division?"

"You lead me to search for the rebels... You are not smart to begin with. I'm afraid you will shoot your brain out and become a complete idiot."
