After a while, Li Xiao called dozens of soldiers. They first checked around the rockery, but they still found nothing unusual. Finally, Mu Jianming waved his hand and said, "Don't look for it, some more people come and dig the rockery."

This royal palace is the ancestor of the Mu family. With Mu Jianming's order, the soldiers naturally waved the hoe and shovels and started to dry up. Several soldiers went to call people again, just like digging treasures. Everyone's faces showed inexplicable excitement. They were very boring in the military camp on weekdays, but now they can release the wind, and the soldiers are very energetic.

In half an incense stick, some patrol soldiers were also called into the royal palace. Seeing that the rockery here had been dug up a lot and many pits were dug on the ground. Without saying a word, they swung the hoe borrowed from the house and joined the treasure hunting team.

Mu Jianming looked calm and saw that he had dug a lot and still had no signs of any mechanism. He felt that this was not the same thing. After all, this was also the Mu family's property. What's the point of digging like this? No, I can't dig like this anymore. Mu Jianming thought with pain and said, "Okay, okay, this land has been three feet wide open, and there is no mechanism. Come on, bring the steward of the royal family who was guarding him and ask first."

The soldiers stopped waving their hoe in excitement and stood aside, but Li Xiao looked indifferent: "Lao Mu, why do you feel sorry for? It's just a piece of land. Dig it open and see what's there?"

Mu Jianming said: "It's always right to ask first. We dig around like headless flies, which will ruin Feng Shui."

Li Xiao suddenly had nothing to say. Feng Shui is a very important thing in this era, so Li Xiao couldn't say anything and said angrily: "Okay, then I'll go and mention people. You are all waiting here."

A moment later, Li Xiao really mentioned a thin middle-aged man who fell over with eight beards. Li Xiao gave Mu Jianming a wink at Mu Jianming. Mu Jianming and Li Xiao stayed together for a long time, so he naturally knew what he meant. He had already put on a fierce face and twitched his sword from his waist, shouting: "Is this person the butler of the Wu family who assisted the evil? Come on, come on, come on, let him try his grandfather's knife."

"Official... I am the Second Housekeeper. All the people in this mansion are in charge of the housekeeper Li. He is the one who helps the evildoer, and the young one is innocent." The second housekeeper squeezed his eyebrows into a ball and cried.

"Oh?" Mu Jianming turned his eyes to Li Xiao and said, "Let you find a butler. What are you looking for a second butler to do?"

Li Xiao said resentfully: "How can this be dependent on me? The butler ran away when we entered the city and disappeared. Where did you ask me to find someone?"

The two young men often quarrel when they stayed together, and Mu Jianming didn't care. He held the second butler's neck with a long knife. After a little force, a blood mark appeared on the second butler's neck. The second butler had closed his eyes and did not dare to look at it. He cried and begged for mercy: "My Master Di. You are merciful. The young man is just a slave in the palace. He has never done anything that is harmful to the sky. You just think that the young man is a fart. You can go there once you put it on...

"Stop!" Mu Jianming shouted sharply, pulled his knife back and threw him a slap. He cursed: "What I ask you, you answer whatever you ask, don't be verbose."

"I'm asking, I'm talking all the things I know." The second housekeeper immediately returned to normal. Although his feet were still trembling, and there was a lot of fear in his voice, he at least stopped crying and begging for mercy.

"When was this rockery built?" Mu Jianming asked the first question.

"It was the sixteenth year of Shunzhi... no, no, it was... three years ago." The second housekeeper cleverly avoided Shunzhi's year name.

"Why is this rockery built here? Is there anything strange here? To be honest, if you answer well, I will spare your life." Mu Jianming nodded. At that time, it happened to be the time when Wu Sangui entered Guizhou, which means that Wu Sangui began to build when he entered Kunming and accepted the Duke's Mansion.

"I don't know if I don't know." The second housekeeper's face turned bitter. "When the rockery was built, it was completely handled by Mr. Liu. The prince also gave him a garrison in his personal guards, and no one was allowed to get close to here."

Mu Jianming and Li Xiao looked at each other again, and believed in themselves to confirm that if there was nothing strange here, why not let people get close to it? Logically speaking, the second housekeeper's status in the royal palace is not too bad, and he can't even get close to it, which only means that there must be some secret hidden here.

"Old Mu, maybe you'll dig it out. Maybe find something to offer it to the emperor. The emperor will be very happy to admire your wife." Li Xiao joked with a smile, which caused Zhou Pan's soldiers to burst into laughter.

"Go to your mother's wife." Mu Jianming is not young anymore. His father Mu Tianbo searches for his relatives in Haidu City every day. This is something that everyone in Haidu knows. But Mu Jianming wants to imitate Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty. He stayed in the camp all day long, but he didn't come out. Finally, Mu Tianbo got angry and simply submitted the emperor to ask for a marriage for him. As long as he asked the emperor for an imperial edict, he would not be afraid that this disobedient son would not submit. Unexpectedly, the emperor just laughed a few times, but did not agree. So the comedy of my son asking for an imperial edict to marry him was exposed. The Xinxue Mansion newspaper was also used as the front page, which made the whole Haidu City a lot of fun, and he was laughing when talking about this. Therefore, the most taboo thing about Mu Jianming was that someone used this to laugh at him.

"Okay, okay, Commander Mu, don't be angry. It's important for us to do serious things. Brothers, please dig up the rockery." Li Xiao went over and patted Mu Jianming's angry shoulder.

The soldiers raised their hoes and still didn't dare to dig them down. They just waited for Mu Jianming to speak. Mu Jianming waved his hand and said, "Dig, dig."

Hundreds of hoes drew a half arc in the air together, and the soldiers swung their arms and dug them up again.

"I'll ask you, what's wrong with this rockery in the royal palace? Is there anyone walking around here?" Mu Jianming began to interrogate the second butler who was slumped on the ground again.

"Some, some, since the rockery was built, you can hear strange sounds here at night. There are rumors in the palace that there are evil ghosts here. The prince built a rockery here after listening to the guidance of a real person to suppress evil ghosts. This..., other villains don't know about it. There are not many things that the young people in this palace can manage." The second housekeeper said.

Evil ghosts? Nonsense! Mu Jianming and Li Xiao have all read books, so they naturally don’t believe in this kind of thing. However, a few superstitious soldiers dare not dig again. There are evil ghosts. If they dig out the rockery, what will the evil ghosts do to rush out?

"Don't stop, dig it for me quickly." Mu Jianming went to kick those timid guys' ass.

"Sir, there are...evil ghosts." The timid soldier was unmoved and still procrastinated.

"Idiot, this is obviously the trick of Wu Thief. He said there were evil ghosts here just because he didn't want people to get close. Zhao Duzi, if there were really evil ghosts in this world, why didn't the fucking heads you cut off on the battlefield turn into evil ghosts and come to you?" Mu Jianming cursed.

"Damn it, if Lord Mu dares to dig, we will dig too." Zhao Duzi became polite and sent the hoe to Mu Jianming's hand.

Mu Jianming took the hoe cursingly and swung his arms to dig it up. When the other soldiers saw Mu Jianming's move, they also eliminated their fear and raised their hoes to continue digging. After digging for a while, with a bang, a soldier's hoe seemed to have encountered some hard object. When everyone gathered around and pushed away the dust on the surface, a square bluestone slab was revealed.

"Go and get something to pry this stone slab open." Li Xiao shouted excitedly.

Immediately someone went to get a thick iron rod, and everyone went up to help. Soon, the bluestone slab was pried out, and a big dark hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"There is still turbid air in the cave. Everyone is waiting here first and ask someone to inform the head coach." Mu Jianming shouted.

The secret treasure in the royal palace was finally revealed. Mu Jianming and Li Dingguo rushed to the scene immediately after reporting. In the underground treasure house, almost everyone present exclaimed.

No wonder there are only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the treasury in Yunnan. In recent years, Wu Sangui exploited everywhere and reached out to ask the Qing court for silver pay. It was impossible for only this small amount to be left. Mu Tianbo originally thought that all the silver and money in the treasury were taken away by Zhao Fu when he broke through. Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui had fought for more than ten years, and all the wealth he had looted and blackmailed from the Qing court was hidden in this underground palace.

The entire underground palace has a total area of ​​dozens of hectares. In addition to a few passages, it is full of various wooden boxes. When the Ming soldiers pried open the boxes one by one, countless yellow and white lights shone out. The yellow ones are gold, the white ones are silver, as well as jade, agate, pearls, and calligraphy and paintings.

"Look, what is that." In a secret room at the innermost part of the palace, several Ming soldiers held the torch in a daze and looked at the scene in front of them. Someone carefully opened a treasure chest inlaid with jade. A bright yellow light refracted the torch, making the Ming soldiers' eyes dizzy.

"Dragon robe, jade seal." Mu Tianbo and his son and Li Dingguo and his son looked at each other, and they all felt incredible.

"Sir, look, there are many seals and python robes here." A soldier went to open the bottom floor and took out the items one by one. In addition to the dragon robe and jade seal, there were also various officials' python robes and seals, which were stacked up by as many as a hundred.

"The Wu thief was indeed capricious. He didn't say that he had turned against the Ming Dynasty. Now he wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. Haha, this person is very ambitious and has a bad ambition. If he has this fate today, he deserves to die without a place to live." Li Ding Guodao.

Mu Tianbo nodded and said, "Don't hurry to read this, send orders to block the passage of the royal palace and treasure house, and immediately let the pen in and register all the treasures, and send heavy troops to protect them and transport them to the capital without delay."

"As for order!" A soldier hurriedly sent an order.

"Your Highness, let's go over there and take a look. These prohibited items should be sealed immediately and transported to the sea to the emperor for delivery." Mu Tianbo smiled and stroked his beard.
