Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 140: Another Treasure Hunt at Prince Gong's Mansion – And They Actually Found the Treas

After leaving courtyard number 28, Wang Feng took out his bicycle and headed towards Prince Gong's Mansion.

They evaded four patrol teams along the way before finally arriving at Prince Gong's Mansion.

Wang Feng was a little puzzled. No. 28 Nanluoguxiang was only a little over two kilometers away from Prince Gong's Mansion, yet they encountered four joint defense teams patrolling. The intensity of the patrol was a bit too much.

If it weren't for his extraordinary hearing and eyesight, he would probably have been arrested and questioned by now.

Now that his spiritual sense has reached ten meters, it's time for him to investigate the Prince Gong's Mansion. If it's true, as later generations have said, that the Prince Gong's Mansion has a large amount of gold and silver treasures, then he'll be rich.

After storing the bicycle in his spatial storage, Wang Feng arrived at the side wall of Prince Gong's Mansion. He probed inside with his spiritual sense but found no movement. He then leaped over the wall and climbed inside.

Upon entering the courtyard, Wang Feng did not move. He quickly hid in a corner and listened carefully to the sounds inside. After listening for a full two minutes and confirming that there was no movement in the courtyard, he finally came out from the corner.

With his current skills, he wasn't afraid of being caught; he was afraid of alerting the enemy. If someone inside discovered him, he wouldn't be able to secretly search for treasure anymore. In the future, Prince Gong's Mansion would increase patrols, and who knows when he would be able to come back to Prince Gong's Mansion to search for treasure again.

Wang Feng's spiritual sense probed every piece of land. He was now preparing to conduct a thorough search. If there was any treasure, it would not escape his detection.

Unfortunately, when using his spiritual sense to probe underground, he encountered tremendous resistance. With his current spiritual sense, he could only detect up to four meters underground.

Four meters it is, he just doesn't believe that the treasure could be hidden dozens of meters deep.

According to his speculation, if there really is a treasure in Prince Gong's Mansion, it is most likely hidden underground, otherwise it would have been found long ago.

Prince Gong's Mansion is too big. Wang Feng searched it thoroughly for an hour, but only managed to find a third of the area.

However, Wang Feng was not discouraged. He had to search for the treasure to be satisfied, whether it was there or not. Even if there was no treasure, he would accept it, at least he wouldn't have to worry about it every day.

Wang Feng searched all the way from the garden to the Grand Theater, and then from the Grand Theater to the Fish Viewing Platform. He searched everywhere, even underwater and inside the walls, but still found nothing.

He searched for over an hour, covering almost every area, but found nothing.

Now only the rear building remains to be searched. Wang Feng has come to deeply doubt the existence of the treasure in Prince Gong's Mansion. He suspects that the idea of ​​a treasure in Prince Gong's Mansion is a fabrication by later generations.

But since he was already here, he was determined to find the last piece of land no matter what.

Wang Feng arrived at the back building and used his spiritual sense to probe the ground step by step, not even missing a corner or a pillar.

Upon reaching the end of the passage, Wang Feng was stopped by a wall, as this was the end of the tunnel.

However, Wang Feng still used his spiritual sense to probe the wall once, just in case there was a hidden layer behind it.

Just as he used his spiritual sense to penetrate the wall, he indeed discovered a two-meter-deep mezzanine. The boxes inside were lined up in rows, and Wang Feng's spiritual sense could not reach the end of it.

Upon discovering the treasure, Wang Feng was overjoyed. However, he did not find the mechanism to open the door in the wall's hidden compartment.

Each gold brick is the same size, weighing about 7.4 jin (approximately 3.6 catties), which is equivalent to 100 taels of gold in the past. This box contains a total of 80 gold bricks, weighing about 600 jin (approximately 300 kg).

Opening the 102nd box, it was still a gold bar, the same size as before.

The 103rd and 105th boxes contained gold bricks, but the 106th box contained silver ingots, which disappointed Wang Feng.

After opening 105 boxes of gold in a row, Wang Feng thought that all 568 boxes were now filled with gold, but he was still disappointed.

After opening four hundred more boxes, all of them contained silver ingots, and Wang Feng was starting to doze off.

Wang Feng opened all the remaining boxes in one go. After a final count, there were 105 boxes of gold, totaling 63628 jin (approximately 31.8 tons), equivalent to more than 85 taels of gold previously.

Five hundred chests of silver, totaling 25 catties, equivalent to 333 million taels of silver.

Of the remaining 63 boxes, 60 contained antiques such as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and snuff bottles, while two boxes contained top-quality imperial green jewelry and one box contained gold jewelry.
