Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1135 It’s just free money!

After saying that, Sima Xuanmo turned around and walked away with Lu Mingyu, returning to the original road.

Lu Mingyu was a little uneasy. If there really was something important down there, then who were the people guarding those things?
where are they?Why are these corridors so empty?But there were only two groups of guards.

The two returned along the road and returned to the ancient well.

Sima Xuan Modao looked at the endless deep well, handed the candle he pulled out casually to Lu Mingyu's hand, and said, "Wait for me here, I'll go down and take a look."

Lu Mingyu said: "Cousin, do you think the entrance is in the well?"

Sima Xuanmo said: "If Wu Ti really wants to reveal any news to you, then the clues are in this well."

A candle illuminated the area below the well, but the light was very dim.

Lu Mingyu looked at the dark water, with several corpses floating in it, and couldn't help but feel a little numb.

She said: "Cousin, don't act rashly. It is very dangerous to enter the water rashly."

With a "plop", Sima Xuanmo jumped into the water before she could finish her words. He raised his head in the water like a water snake: "Ayu, I can't hear what you said. Let's talk later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he dived into the water.

Lu Mingyu pinched her eyebrows again. Today, her cousin really gave her a thrilling experience.

However, there was no movement in the water for a long time. Lu Mingyu was a little anxious waiting. She clenched her dagger and leaned against the cold stone wall, looking warily at the secret room and the wellhead.

"cousin?"

Lu Mingyu called Sima Xuanmo softly.

Seeing that Sima Xuanmo never came out of the water, Lu Mingyu was worried that he was in danger and was thinking of ways to rescue him. Suddenly, a few bubbles appeared in the water, and the water level dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, Sima Xuanmo popped up and grinned at Lu Mingyu: "Ayu, what a great discovery, there really is something incredible underneath. When the well water is drained out, I will take you to see it."

Lu Mingyu stretched out her hand towards him: "The well water is too cold, I will pull you up first."

Sima Xuanmo said: "That doesn't matter. Who am I? I am a notorious pirate! I can control water just like I can control a horse."

Lu Mingyu really didn't know what to say about him, but seeing that he was safe, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

The water level slowly drops, revealing stone walls that have been soaked in water for a long time.

The walls of the well were wet and slippery, and there was a fishy mud smell.

When the water in the well dropped about ten feet, a stone door was revealed.

The stone door grew on the wall of the well and was sunk into it about a foot.

This stone door is a waterproof stone slab, and Sima Xuanmo knows exactly how to open this stone slab.

With a "bang", the stone slab slowly opened, and the dim light suddenly came out, illuminating Sima Xuanmo's cheek.

It turned out that there was another brightly lit passage inside.

Sima Xuanmo stood in the passage and stretched out his hand to Lu Mingyu: "Ayu, come down and I will catch you."

Lu Mingyu jumped down and was caught by Sima Xuanmo, and the two entered the secret passage together.

The secret passage below does not have a secret room with guards like the one above, and has only one passage.

Although the lights are always on, few people seem to come in. The ground is covered with thick dust, and there is a chill in the passage.Sima Xuanmo took a sip and geared up: "Ayu, get rich, get rich!"

Lu Mingyu was puzzled: "What?"

Sima Xuanmo said: "Follow me."

The two walked along the passage for a while, and a small door came into view.

Sima Xuanmo tried to open the door, but Lu Mingyu quickly reminded him: "Be careful of the mechanism."

Sima Xuanmo said: "There is no mechanism here."

After saying that, there was another roar.

The door slowly opened.

This is a secret room, and in the secret room is a large box filled with dust.

Sima Xuanmo opened the box and saw an ingot of white flowers/flowers of silver.

He handed the silver to Lu Mingyu: "Smell it, this is the smell of silver, I can smell it from a long way away."

Lu Mingyu said: "How can silver smell? What you smell is the smell of this box!"

Sima Xuanmo continued to open the box and said: "Official silver is packed in fir boxes because fir boxes are light and strong, making it easier to move the silver."

"But fir is not resistant to corrosion and will rot in a short time in humid places. In order to slow down the decay of fir, the government soaked it in a special oil. This is all my experience when I was robbing the official bank. Just now I heard It’s that familiar smell.”

Lu Mingyu glanced at the back of the silver ingot and saw the word "Taiping" printed on it. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why is the official silver from Emperor Hui's time here?"

Si Ma

"My uncle came to the capital, and my father sent a petition to the court to investigate. Emperor Jiayou, who was still the prince, took the initiative to take over the matter. But before the whereabouts of the batch of silver could be found, Emperor Hui died."

"Then the tragedy happened that the nine Lu family clans were wiped out. Maybe this is the batch of military pay that has disappeared for a long time."

When all the boxes were opened, there were indeed 21 boxes of official silver with white flowers. A rough calculation showed that each box was worth tens of thousands taels, and the total amount was about 60 taels.

Lu Mingyu asked: "Why is this batch of money here?"

Si Ma Strange."

Lu Mingyu shook his head: "No, what I want to say is, why did Wu Ti lead us here? If this is Emperor Shitian's money, why did he reveal it to us? If this is his money, how could he be willing to reveal it to us?"

Sima Xuanmo said: "Whatever! Since we saw it, let's move all the money away and replenish the national treasury."

Lu Mingyu frowned: "I still feel something is wrong, very wrong."

Sima Xuanmo said: "If you have concerns, then let's just stop moving and go back to discuss it before making a decision."

Lu Mingyu said: "Cousin, assuming that the money belongs to Emperor Shitian, do you think Wu Ti wants to take advantage of the evil? When we move the money out, he will come to snatch it? In this way, Emperor Shitian's money will flow to In his hands."

Sima Xuanmo did not answer Lu Mingyu immediately. He knocked on the wall with the hilt of his sword, turned around and said, "There is another space behind this. Judging from the sound, this wall is made of stone."

After a pause, he said again: "Ayu, don't think so much. In my opinion, this matter is not complicated at all. Then Wu Ti's purpose is not the money."

Lu Mingyu said: "Then what does he want to do?"
