On winter nights, there is nothing between heaven and earth except the howling cold wind.

Zuo Menggen walked quietly in the wilderness with Zuo Gui.

After a while, Zuo Menggeng picked up a wooden stick with branches.

Zuo Gui didn't know what he was going to do, so he looked over curiously.

Zuo Menggeng did not explain and signaled him to continue leading the way.

From the Zuo family's village to Feng Yuanwai's village, there is no need to go around the dirt road.

The fields of the two families are next to each other, but the trench was maliciously dug by Mr. Feng.

Such a gully broke the thought of Zuojiazhuang taking water from the river, but it was not difficult for Zuo Menggeng and Zuo Gui to have two agile people.

After climbing over the ditch, I walked up to the riverside, and there was a reed marsh in front of me.

"The place where the box is buried is on the other side."

The two of them got into the reed marsh, walked forward for a while, and went to the other side.

Just when Zuo Gui was about to go out, Zuo Menggeng grabbed him.

"few……"

Zuo Menggeng's finger was standing beside his mouth, indicating that he was quiet.

Zuo Gui had to squat down and dared not move, not understanding why Zuo Menggeng did this.

This stop took more than an hour. Zuo Gui's whole body was cold and his feet were numb.

When I went to see Zuo Menggeng again, I was still as if I had nothing to do.

Zuo Gui couldn't stand it. When he was about to open his mouth, a black shadow suddenly turned from behind the big tree in the distance.

The black shadow walked away while cursing.

"Damn Chen Laoliu, I agreed to replace him, and he was fucking lazy."

Zuo Gui was sweating coldly, and then he realized that he almost shocked the enemy. He was just curious, how did Zuo Menggeng know that someone would be there?

The reason is very simple. Can no one guard the place where there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver be buried?

Until the black shadow walked far away, Zuo Menggeng suddenly stood up and ran over quickly.

The place where the box is buried is easy to find, and there is no hidden content at all. The soil on the ground is newly translated, and it looks different from other places at first glance.

Zuo Menggeng inserted the wooden stick in his hand into the soil, and originally wanted to try how deep the box was buried.

The result surprised him quite. He only touched a hard object after only one finger.

Zuo Menggeng signaled Zuo Gui to be alert and swept the floating soil horizontally with a wooden stick, and the wooden box was exposed.

He pulled Zuo Gui behind him, and the two of them squatted on the opposite side of the opening of the wooden box, and then gently lifted the box.

No surprises, there is no mechanism in the box.

But then Zuo Menggeng's eyes immediately became straight.

Zuo Gui told him that the box was full of silver, so he estimated that it was about 100,000 taels.

But when the box opened in front of me, it was actually not silver, but gold bars. It was full of money, and it was worth more than several times the silver.

Damn Feng Lun, how much greedy is?

Even with Zuo Menggeng's mentality, he had an imbalance for a moment.

Fortunately, he was able to stabilize it. After re-covering the box, he used a wooden stick to restore the floating soil bit by bit, which looked exactly the same as before.

Zuo Gui looked straight at him from the side.

When did the young master have such skills?

After confirming that a large amount of treasures were buried here, Zuo Menggeng could not do anything for a moment.

There are so many boxes, he and Zuo Gui can't get them away.

Besides, the time has not come, so we have to plan carefully.

So he took Zuo Gui back the same way and asked Zuo Gui to walk in front and he left behind.

He walked backwards, and while walking, he was scratching with a wooden stick to clear the traces of the two people coming.

Zuo Gui looked at Zuo Menggeng's cautious and concise appearance, while annoying his roughness, he learned a lot of things.

It was already two hours later when the two of them returned to their residence.

It was not until this time that Zuo Gui couldn't control his doubts.

"Young Master, why did Mr. Feng bury Caibao by the river?"

On the way back, Zuo Menggeng had already figured out everything.

"These treasures are not from Yuanwai Feng, but from the eunuch Feng Lun."

Even if Mr. Feng relies on Feng Lun's relationship to seize the money, how much wealth can he get?

Such a large amount of money can only be Feng Lun's method.

Zuo Gui became even more confused.

"Feng Lun is the eunuch in charge, like a local emperor. Who dares to provoke him? Why did he bury his treasure by the river?"

Thinking of the shallow soil layer, Zuo Menggeng's idea is very clear.

"Feng Lun is not trying to hide money, but is preparing for abscond."

Zuo Gui has limited channels for getting information.

"Why did he run?"

"Hmph, he is Li Chaoqin's godson. Wei Zhongxian and Li Chaoqin have been taken down by the emperor. Sooner or later, it will be his turn. Feng Lun is unwilling to surrender, so it is not normal for him to run away with the money he has been plundered over the years."

He originally thought that Mr. Feng was burying his wealth, but after he got to the place, he knew it was not.

If it is a treasure hiding, then the concealment of the treasure hiding place must be done well, so that the traces cannot be easily seen. Moreover, it will not be buried so shallowly, and it can be dug out as soon as it is dug.

The only reason is that it is easier to dig out the treasures in this way.

It just so happened that the place where Mr. Feng buried his treasure was by the river, so Zuo Menggeng thought that this was Feng Lun preparing for a retreat.

That small river can directly lead to the Wei River. Just build a boat and carry treasures. You can run a hundred miles away in one day, which is very convenient.

Wealth is moving, and Zuo Gui is no exception.

"Young Master, let's rob the money? Anyway, no one knows it."

Zuo Menggeng scoffed at him.

"Are you stupid or Feng Lun stupid?"

In Zuo Gui's disappointed expression, Zuo Menggeng analyzed it carefully.

"Then our family is next to Mr. Feng's farm. If the treasure is lost, how would Feng Lun look for it? Also, don't forget that Feng Lun is still a magistrate in charge now, but he can mobilize the government and garrison troops. At this time, can he steal the treasure? "

That is not a box of money, but a dozen boxes, or even more than twenty.

Except for Feng Lun, a local figure who only has his hands covering the sky, others cannot hide it at all.

"Then...what should I do? Just see that so much money was taken away by Feng Lun?"

Zuo Menggeng was not in a hurry.

"This matter is quite strange. I can't understand why Feng Lun did this. But as long as Feng Lun is in one day, these treasures will not move. We still have a chance."

These treasures belong to Feng Lun. Zuo Menggeng was not afraid that Feng Yuanwai would have the intention to see money, so he left Feng Lun and ran away with the money.

Without Feng Lun, Mr. Feng would be nothing and could not protect these wealth at all.

So as long as you keep an eye on Feng Lun, you will not expect these wealth and goods to disappear.

The two of them ran back and forth, and then blew the cold wind for another night. They were really tired. After falling down, they slept soundly.

The next day when Zuo Menggeng returned to the mansion, it was almost noon.

I just walked into the main hall but found it was so lively.

Liu Zongzhou, Hou Xun, Cao Wenheng, Zhang Zhenxiu and others were all here, and there were two more people they didn't know.

Strangely, Zuo Liangyu, the master, was not there.

Zuo Menggeng understood as soon as he thought about it.

This is a gathering of literati, and the things they talk about are either court affairs or poetry. If you don’t know a few of Zuo Liangyu’s big characters, you will suffer if you get together here.

If you feel comfortable serving a few big guys, it is better to be busy with your own.

When Liu Zongzhou saw Zuo Menggeng, he waved his hand quickly, and at the same time he felt resentful.

"The little thief who threw a stone into a frightening bird is here."

Zuo Menggeng walked over and greeted him one by one. Hearing Liu Zongzhou say this, he couldn't help but smile.

"I dare to ask Mr. Nian, who is this bird?"
