Chapter 358 The Wei Family's Property

Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "It's just that there are some things I can't figure out."

"What is it? Tell me, maybe I can help."

"The Wei family's property."

He Jingheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "How many years ago was this? How can there be any family property now?"

Shang Ruoyi said in a deep voice: "When I was young, I heard my mother mention that the Wei family has been doing business since the previous dynasty. How could a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years only have these few things left in the end?"

"You mean..." He Jingheng put away the smile on his face: "All the things of the Wei family have been moved?"

"Let's not talk about the farms, fields and shops of the Wei family. Just talking about the gold, silver, jewels, antiques and paintings, there are so many carriages that they can't be loaded. Even if they lost a lot in business, how could they lose all their property?"

They looked at each other.

"Those gold, silver and jewels must have been hidden by Shangnian." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile: "It seems that we need to go to Shang's house."

At night, two black figures landed in the backyard of the Shang family.

They came to an extremely remote courtyard, which was pitch black. She opened the door of the room, took out a tinder, and could barely see the things around her.

The room was extremely simple, with only a table, two chairs, and a bed without even a curtain. It was not even as good as a servant's room.

"What is this place?"

"This is the courtyard where I lived before I got married." She took out a pottery jar from under the bed, with a smile on her face: "I forgot about it on the day I returned home." She took out a small rattle and a few small toys from the pottery jar: "This is what my mother used to amuse me when I was a child."

With the faint light of the fire, Shang Ruoyi's eyes fell on those little gadgets.

I saw that the butterfly-like object was inlaid with a gem larger than a pigeon egg.

She picked up the rattle and found that except for the drum head, everything else was made of gold.

She took out some more things one after another, all of which were inlaid with many treasures.

Shang Ruoyi looked at those things and murmured, "Is this really what I used to play with as a kid?"

He Jingheng was originally feeling sorry for her hard life in the prime minister's residence, but looking at this pile of gold, silver and jewelry, he began to feel sorry for himself instead: "I was born in a royal palace, but I don't have such priceless gadgets as you."

"When I was born, the Wei family was prosperous, and there were many good things." She touched the small rattle: "After the Wei family declined, my mother and I stayed in this yard, living a life of eating from one meal to the next. But even so, my mother did not take these out. I think she must know that if she took them out, she might lose the last thing to save her life." She took out all the small things in the pottery jar: "Before my mother died, she told me to take these things with me, but I completely forgot about it on the day I got married."

Just then, a piece of parchment fell out.

Shang Ruoyi picked it up and looked at it for a long time: "Is this, a map?" She suddenly remembered the map that Cong Fangzhi gave her.

This looks like it can be pieced together.

"This is a treasure map." He Jingheng whispered, "This is a treasure map left by the previous emperor."

He placed the map in her hands: "I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Could it be that Shangnian’s real purpose in marrying her mother was for this?

After putting everything away and putting the pottery jar back, the two of them walked out of the yard.

Shang Ruoyi was very familiar with the terrain here, and took He Jingheng towards the warehouse.

Ever since Shangnian was imprisoned, all the guards of the Shang family have been withdrawn, leaving only a few servants. After all, they don't have the money to feed these servants.

Now the emperor has only sentenced him to beheaded in the autumn, but has not ordered a confiscation of his property. This must be because of the prince's consideration.

"Mother." Shang Yufu whispered, "Now the emperor has not canceled our marriage with the prince in public, but today I sent a servant to the prince's mansion to deliver a visiting card, but I couldn't get in. Does the prince not want to recognize our marriage?"

"Fu'er, we can't rely on the Dingguo Palace now. The only one who can save your father is the crown prince." The eldest lady said in a low voice: "It's all my parents' fault. You have been implicated for no reason."

"Then my daughter will go to the Prince's Mansion in person tomorrow."

All these words fell into the ears of Shang Ruoyi and He Jingheng. A sneer appeared on the corner of her lips. Want to save Shang Nian?

dream!

The two men arrived at the door of the warehouse, but there was not even a guard there. There were only a few boxes inside, and each box was empty.

It seems that after the last theft, they moved all their things away.

The Wei family is the richest family with a huge fortune and wealth. They must have many treasures of all kinds. If they were really taken away by Shangnian, they must have been hidden in this prime minister's mansion.

Shang Ruoyi closed her eyes, and a pure energy entered her body from space.

When she opened her eyes again, everything in the house was reflected in her pupils.

She looked for a long time but did not find any place where gold, silver or jewelry were hidden. Just as she was about to look away, her eyes accidentally fell on the warehouse behind her. At one glance, she was stunned.

Just behind this wall, there were hundreds of large boxes stacked up, filled with gold, silver and jewelry, filling up an entire warehouse.

She walked in quickly and reached out and touched the wall.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing." Shang Ruoyi was shocked and almost forgot that this ancestor was beside her: "There is nothing to find here. Maybe he hid the Wei family's things somewhere else."

He Jingheng nodded: "It's getting late, we should go back and rest."

When the two returned to the mansion, He Jingheng left for urgent military business.

Shang Ruoyi originally wanted to go to Shang's house again tomorrow, but she couldn't resist the urge to hunt for treasure, so she changed into her night clothes and flew away.

"Prince." A secret guard stepped forward and said, "The Crown Prince's wife has left."

He Jingheng looked at the book in his hand and sighed helplessly. It was obvious from her expression just now that she had discovered something, but she didn't say anything because he was there.

"When will you be willing to share these secrets with me?" He picked up the book and started reading again.

Shang Ruoyi came to the storeroom of the prime minister's mansion and fumbled on the wall for a while but didn't find any mechanism.

"Is there another door here?"

She was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly saw a shelf in the north corner.

This warehouse is already empty, why is this shelf still there?

She walked closer, looked for a while, and her eyes fell on a bulge on the wall.

If you don't look carefully, you can't tell the difference between this place and other places.

She pressed lightly, and saw a small door suddenly opened in the wall next to her.

She walked in slowly and looked at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in front of her, and she couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
