Chapter 425 It's Really the Key
There is strength in numbers. Gongshu Qi and Feng Er brought dozens of people with them. Everyone worked together to move the things. Even though there were a lot of things, it only took one or two hours to move everything.
All the boxes were sorted and stacked where they should be.
Naturally, all the gold and silver were moved to the farm, while the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and the like were loaded onto horse-drawn carriages by the people brought by Feng Er and transported to the Cao Gang's dock, where they were placed together with the goods they had ordered previously and shipped to the capital.
"I didn't expect there was a secret room here."
Gongshu Qi saw a small flaw in the place that was previously blocked by the stacked boxes. It was obviously the entrance to a secret room.
Ordinary people might ignore it, but Gongshu Qi is such a smart guy, he would not ignore it.
Feng Er looked in the direction of his sight and also discovered something.
The others are now outside packing up their things, and now only Feng Er and Gongshu Qi are left here.
"Mr. Gongshu, can you open it?" Feng Er asked.
It has come to this point. If he didn't notice it, it would be fine. But if he pretends not to see it after he has discovered it, that is not his style.
"I, an old man, will take a look first." Gongshu Qi stepped forward to observe.
After a while, he fumbled around here and there, and suddenly, a machine jumped out.
"Is it open?" Feng Er was a little excited.
Mr. Gongshu is indeed amazing.
"No." Gongshu Qi shook his head. "Look here, you need to insert the key to open it." He pointed to a small hole that looked like a Tai Chi pattern.
"Without the key, it will take some effort to open it. We don't have enough time tonight, so we'll come back in a few days when we have more time." Gongshu Qi was also quite curious.
But if we delay any longer tonight, the old woman will wake up.
Anyway, the secret room is here and can't run away. It will be the same if I come back after a few days when I'm ready.
"This pattern looks so familiar..." Feng Er looked at the mark of the Tai Chi pattern and felt like he had seen it somewhere.
Suddenly, an idea came to me!
He reached into his lapel and pulled out a small jade token, and asked Mr. Gongshu, "Can you take a look at this and see if it is the key?"
This jade token was given to him by Tang Jiachen before he came here.
"It looks very similar!" Gongshuqi took the jade token and carefully inserted it into the hole.
really!
This jade token is the key!
Following a sound of mechanical rotation, the door of the secret room that had been blocked before opened.
The space inside is very small, only enough for one person to enter.
Feng Er naturally couldn't let Gongshuqi take the risk, so he walked in first.
The secret room smelled very musty, as if it had not been opened for a long time.
There was nothing inside except a sealed box. When the box was opened, it was full of letters and some documents.
Feng Er didn't look closely. Something that could be hidden so secretly could not be ordinary. He directly took out the whole box and put it on the carriage that he planned to transport back to Beijing.
It’s better to hand these things over directly to the master or the lady.
He won't worry about it anymore.
With the departure of Feng Er and others, the old ancestral hall of the Tang family was restored to its original state, and all traces of people who had visited were intentionally eliminated.
When the time came, Mrs. Lan woke up according to her daily schedule and didn't notice anything unusual.
Still living the same life as before, waiting for the arrival of the person who comes to take the things.
