"Sir, there's still nothing!"
Nearly 600 people searched, but they still found nothing. The general found Yuan Ye with a sad face and reported.
If he could not find it, he would definitely be punished.
Although Yuan Ye was the chief officer, he was the one who was most likely to be blamed.
It was not because of anything else, but because Yuan Ye was too favored by the emperor and was also honored as the number one genius of the Great Yu by many scholars.
Therefore, he would be the only one who would suffer the wrath.
"Let's go and take a look."
Yuan Ye frowned when he heard that. He put down the book he had found and stood up, leading the general to the backyard.
If he couldn't find it, although it wouldn't be a big deal, Yuan Ye would have to bear the name of being incompetent.
Most importantly, it would leave a bad impression.
Following Yuan Ye's lead, the general followed closely behind.
The first place that Yuan Ye wanted to go was the study of the six kings.
This was because the easiest place for ancient people to hide a secret room was either in the study or in their own sleeping place.
Or hiding in the hall.
Anyway, there were countless ways to hide money.
"Wait!"
Yuan Ye stopped when he passed by a fake mountain in the backyard.
This was because the passive skill Treasure Hunt had given Yuan Ye a revelation.
This was a kind of feeling, or more accurately, intuition.
"What's wrong?"
The general could not help but stop and ask.
"Bring your men and come with me."
Yuan Ye greeted them and walked towards the fake mountain.
"Milord, there are countless fake mountains like this in the Imperial Residence. This one is very inconspicuous. Even the secret chamber of the Six Kings wouldn't be hidden here.”
The general hurriedly followed up and said to Yuan Ye.
He already knew what Yuan Ye was thinking.
However, he had never paid attention to this inconspicuous rockery.
"I told you to bring people over. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”
"Forget it, just call everyone in the residence over.”
Yuan Ye said impatiently to the general.
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing Yuan Ye's insistence, the general could only agree.
He wanted to see what kind of tricks Yuan Ye could play.
Anyway, he did not believe that the most important treasure would be on this inconspicuous rockery.
However, even if he did not believe it, he still ordered the soldiers who had followed him to gather all the soldiers of the capital camp in the wang fu.
"What do you think is so eye-catching about this position?”
Yuan Ye stood in front of the rockery and asked the reward.
"Nothing inconspicuous."
The general replied in a muffled voice.
"Wrong, the most inconspicuous place is the most conspicuous place.
Why didn't your family hide the money in a hidden place but in the open?”
Yuan Ye rolled his eyes at the general and said unhappily.
"Eh!
Indeed."
"However, Sir, isn't the place where money is hidden in the room? According to what you said, it wouldn't be in such an obvious place like the courtyard.”
The general listened to Yuan Ye's words and could not help but feel that it made sense, but it still could not change his mind.
"Alright, tell this official, where are the six kings 'study, master bedroom, and the princesses' bedrooms?”
Yuan Ye asked the general with his hands behind his back.
"In this row."
The general pointed at a row of houses not far away and replied.
"Then go over and take a look at this row of houses. Which one of them can't see this inconspicuous rockery?”
Yuan Ye said again.
"This…"
"This row of houses can clearly see this fake mountain.”
The general instantly understood.
"So, no matter if the six kings are in the study, in the master bedroom, or in which princess consort's place, they can observe this place by themselves.
The study's desk is next to the window, and the bed is not far from the window. How dare you tell me that this place is inconspicuous?”
"You really disappoint me.
I'll definitely report to His Majesty truthfully when I return.”
Yuan Ye pretended to be angry as he spoke to the general.
"Sir, please spare my life."
"Milord, this general was careless. Please show mercy.”
After hearing this, the general was immediately frightened and directly knelt down on one knee to Yuan Ye and begged.
His family background was not big. His family started from his father, but he was just a small county magistrate.
Moreover, he was not good at his studies. His family spent a lot of money to hire a martial master for him and sent him to the capital camp through connections.
Then, with more than ten years of hard work, he became a deputy general in charge of 2,000 people.
If Yuan Ye reported it, Ether Conti's trust in Yuan Ye would definitely dismiss him.
In that case, the money spent by his family and his efforts for more than ten years would go to waste, and he would return to the time before he was liberated.
"Hmph, forget it. Considering that it's your first offense, I won't hold it against you.”
Seeing that he was almost done, Yuan Ye snorted coldly and said.
Yuan Ye did this to establish his prestige and make this general grateful to him.
In that case, if he went in and took something, he would shut up and be blind.
"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord.”
The general heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Yuan Ye.
In a short while, soldiers from the capital camp were constantly rushing over to wait for orders.
"You guys, move this fake mountain away for me.”
Yuan Ye waved his hand and began to command.
Hearing Yuan Ye's order, more than 20 soldiers immediately rolled up their sleeves and began to move the fake mountain.
"Rumble!"
Just as they exerted their strength together, they triggered the mechanism of the rockery.
With a dull sound, a dark tunnel appeared under the rockery.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
They had searched for such a long time but had not found anything. They did not expect the treasure room to be here.
If they were to dig three feet into the ground, they probably wouldn't be able to find it.
"Go down and take a look."
Yuan Ye ordered.
Hearing Yuan Ye's order, two soldiers immediately ran down.
"Sir, there are banknotes everywhere, many large wooden boxes, and many pearls, agate, antique calligraphy, and paintings.”
Soon, the two soldiers who went down ran up and reported excitedly to Yuan Ye.
They had raided houses many times, but this was the first time they had seen such wealth.
"Alright, go down!"
Yuan Ye waved his hand and left with his men.
Yuan Ye only knew what it meant to be rich after he went down.
There were more than 20 luminous pearls illuminating the room, and many oil lamps were also burning.
Hundreds of large wooden boxes were placed there.
There were a lot of silver notes all around.
Pearls, agates, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings were also placed casually.
Yuan Ye stepped forward and opened a large wooden box.
After opening it, he found that the entire chest was filled with gold.
"Come in and open all the boxes to see what's inside.”
Yuan Ye gulped and called the soldiers in.
