Chapter 87: The Wen Family's Treasure Trove (Additional Chapter, Seeking Collections)

  Today I accompanied clients for drinks and also accompanied university classmates who came from afar for drinks, rushing between two gatherings, drinking a mix of everything, just got back home, please forgive me!!

  Xiao Ziyang did not see the face of Wen Yuanwai, which was as if it had opened a soy sauce shop, with all kinds of flavors; he did not follow Wen Yuanwai. Of course, this is not because he trusted Wen Yuanwai so much; but because he had other plans. A plan that Wen Yuanwai never thought of.

  Xiao Ziyang did not rush to leave the Wen manor, but instead flew towards the northwest corner of the manor where ordinary people lived.

  Xiao Ziyang soon found the stable of Wen's mansion. The Wen family was indeed one of the top families in Chunan County, and their stable was extremely large, with dozens of high-quality horses; Xiao Ziyang surprisingly found a snow-white dragon-scale horse with black hooves and four black-glazed fine horses inside.

  However, Xiao Ziyang did not want to branch out at this time and did not have the idea of taking advantage of the situation; he searched for half a day before finding his own jujube red horse in a corner.

  The hay in the manger was quite poor, and it seemed that this unremarkable chestnut horse hadn't received any special treatment. Xiao Ziyang couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

  There was a side gate at the northwest corner of the Wen Mansion for servants to enter and exit. Xiao Ziyang casually nodded at several servants who greeted him, and easily walked out of the Wen Mansion.

  Leaving the Wen government, Xiao Ziyang rode his horse wildly out of Shuangping Town. After leaving Shuangping Town far behind, Xiao Ziyang quietly operated his Xuan Gong to change his appearance, and then took out that mask and fake beard again to disguise himself as a whiskered big man.

  He left the main road and circled around, returning to Shuangping Town from the opposite direction.

  Entering Shuangping Town, Xiao Ziyang rushed straight to the inn where he had stayed in disguise two days ago.

  He knocked at the door for half a day before the sleepy little servant finally opened it with a yawn and stuck his head out.

  Xiao Ziyang's current appearance is quite eye-catching, and Xiao Er still remembers him saying "Sir, when did you leave? How come I didn't see you?"

  "I went out at dinner time, perhaps you were busy attending to guests and didn't see me," Xiaoziyang said with a pleased smile: "Little brother, look at this horse of mine, today's luck was really good, not only did I win dozens of taels of silver, but also won a horse, haha"

  "Has the guest gone to spend his winnings? Ah, this horse is not bad, it's probably worth several dozen taels of silver. The guest is really lucky, and he'll definitely make a big profit this time." This kind of customer who has won money at the gambling table is usually generous with his spending, so the waiter hastily flattered him.

  As expected, Xiao Ziyang burst out laughing and pulled out a small piece of silver from his pocket, about two coins' worth, and tossed it into the waiter's apron. "Go, take good care of my horse, give him high-quality soybeans, accompanied by eggs, make sure the quantity is sufficient; I'll settle the bill when I leave. If my precious horse loses a single hair, I won't forgive you."

  The little second enthusiastically took over the reins, and the sleepy insect had long since flown away. "Don't worry, sir, I'll take care of your horse just like I would my own father's, guaranteed not to lose a single hair."

  Xiao Ziyang pretended to laugh loudly twice, then puffed out his chest and swaggered back to the guest room with a swaying gait.

  Xiao Ziyang wanted to use another identity to stay in this inn, so that after killing Wen Yuanhao, he could calmly slip away.

  Although Shaoyi let Wen Yuan off for the time being, he didn't plan to let him off easily; as for Jin Shengjie, Tang Pei and Liu Bingbei, although they were despicable, Shaoyi didn't plan to bother them again. This was just how things worked in Jianghu - taking people's money and avenging their grievances.

  However, the things that Wen Yu did outside of the office had really crossed Xiao Ziyang's bottom line. So although Xiao Ziyang let him off at the time, he planned to do something that would make him regret it for the rest of his life.

  For the next two days, Xiao Ziyang spent his days hanging out in the casino and went to the Wen Mansion to investigate at night; it wasn't until the third night that Xiao Ziyang finally found the location of the treasure vault in the Wen Mansion.

  The location of the Wenfu treasure house is quite cleverly designed, and it is located in the underground room of a warehouse in Wenfu.

  This warehouse is used by the Wen family to store some valuable items for daily use, such as silk fabrics and other precious goods. It also serves as a transit storage place for some of the Wen family's business partners' valuable goods. Therefore, this place has tight security but does not arouse suspicion. If it weren't for Wen Yu entering the treasury and being followed by Xiao Ziyang, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to find it even in ten or eight days.

  The warehouse was built extremely solidly, with walls made of large bluish-gray bricks, the air windows on the walls were only five inches in size, and the gate was even more robust, made of five-inch thick bluish-gray steel plate wrapped in iron.

  Xiao Ziyang took advantage of the moment when the guard opened the large door, and with his lightness skill brought to an extreme, he transformed into a wisp of green smoke that slipped through the top of everyone's heads and entered the door. Everyone only felt a gentle breeze blowing over their heads, and no one paid attention.

  The warehouse is divided into two layers, upper and lower, each layer is separated into many small warehouses, each small warehouse is tightly locked with thick iron doors, above these iron doors there are small windows made of iron bars; through these windows you can see the goods stored in the small warehouses.

  The secretary ordered the guards to wait outside, and led a young man carrying a small black wooden box into the warehouse. This young man was recognized by Xiao Ziyang as the third son of the secretary; The eldest and second sons of the secretary were both officials in other places, the fourth son was studying at the Imperial Academy in Beijing, and the youngest son was still young, only this third son was neither literate nor martially skilled, staying by the secretary's side to assist him in managing the Wen family business.

  The small warehouse in the warehouse was divided into four areas by two passages in the shape of a cross, and there were no obstructions in the passage. After Xiao Ziyang rushed into the warehouse, he hid on the ceiling above the main gate.

  Wen Yu and San Gongzi walked straight to the center of the corridor intersection, turned left into the left corridor, and left Xiao Ziyang's line of sight.

  Xiao Ziyang stuck to the ceiling and slipped in after a brief wait.

  The heavy iron door of the third warehouse from the left, which was originally closed, had been opened. Xiao Ziyang flew in and stuck to the wall opposite the open warehouse, poking his head inside to take a look.

  This warehouse is filled with all sorts of porcelain, although they are of rather high quality, they aren't particularly valuable.

  The clerk moved a full shelf of porcelain outwards, and one by one, he took the porcelain pieces from the lowest layer at the end closest to the wall and placed them on the ground. After emptying the shelf, an unremarkable porcelain bowl was revealed. He grasped this bowl and turned it three times to the left, then two times to the right, and four times to the left again. Suddenly, a mechanical sound was heard, and in the center of the warehouse, a bluestone slab automatically slid open, revealing a downward staircase.

  Xiao Ziyang saw this scene and didn't know yet that he had already found his destination.

  After the two entered the tunnel, he did not follow them again; but sneaked up to the second floor.

  Upon arriving at the second floor, Xiao Ziyang discovered that under the tiles of this warehouse were iron bars as thick as a child's arm, densely packed and sealing off the entire roof. Looking at these iron bars, Xiao Ziyang revealed a smile that said "as expected". These iron bars could block others, but they couldn't block Xiao Ziyang with his divine power. He descended into hiding on the second floor.

  After the clerk went out of the warehouse and walked far away, Xiao Ziyang came to the door of the ceramic-filled warehouse without stopping, and twisted off the iron lock on the door.
