【Daddy Chapter 36】Secret Room

In the study, Sheriff Zhang Feng put away the kind and happy look he had at the banquet, and his face became serious.

The same was true for the people sitting down. They looked at each other a few times, waiting for the governor to speak.

Zhang Feng took out the newspaper from the desk and threw it in front of everyone.

Shen Zhen knew the contents of the newspaper and explained it quietly in Chu Jiao’s ear.

That was Emperor Xieyu’s decree to dismiss the Yangzhou governor, and at the same time there was news of the new governor taking office.

Wu County is under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou. As a foreign official, it is easy to learn about many court affairs late, but Zhang Feng, who has a sensitive sense of smell, is still very sensitive and can feel Emperor Xieyu’s anger at the unfavorable disaster relief in Yangzhou from the few words in the newspaper.

“Although our Wu County has not suffered a disaster, we are all under the rule of the emperor, and we should be there for the people… Zhang Feng said quietly, “The emperor was considerate and provided money, and also asked you to help, providing food and shelter for the victims…

“I will not forget your merits when I report on my work…” But I hope you can reflect on the shortcomings…

What Zhang Feng said was like telling a riddle. Chu Jiao didn’t understand the cause and effect, and her eyes darkened when she heard it.

“He is giving a warning, reminding these people that they should deal with the consequences…

Shen Zhen explained softly in her ear, “First, he is showing that everyone has a share in the greedy money, and he, Zhang Feng, has not treated them badly; second, he is warning that he must have account books and handles on his hands, so these people should not betray him; third, new officials are coming, and some who usually run rampant in the countryside and exploit the people, clean up what should be done, cover up what should be covered, and don’t let the superior officer catch the handle.”

“You are really cunning,” Chu Jiao said angrily, “I don’t know how many bad things I have done in my daily life!”

“Don’t worry, we’ve lured the snake out of the hole now,” Shen Zhen carefully noted the appearance of the people in the room, “We’re just waiting for them to reveal themselves.”

After everyone left.

Zhang Feng carefully closed the doors and windows, walked to the bookshelf in the study, and twisted the incense burner on the third floor to the left and right twice. The mural on the wall beside it slowly rolled up, revealing a small door!He picked up the candle and went in.

Chu Jiao looked at Shen Zhen excitedly, “The secret room!” Shen Zhen nodded, “There must be something inside.

Zhang Feng stayed in the secret room for about as long as he could hold a stick of incense before he came out empty-handed and left the study.

Shen Zhen jumped down with Chu Jiao in her arms and found that the door was locked.But it was difficult to catch him, so he took a small hairpin from Chu Jiao’s head, fiddled with the keyhole, and opened the door.

After opening the secret room according to the method she just peeked into, Chu Jiao was so shocked by the scene inside that she was dazzled.

Shen Zhen only lit a fire, but it was enough in the dark room.Box after box of gold bricks occupied all their sights. Gold, silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and countless precious treasures filled the entire room. Except for the foothold, only a Buddhist niche in the middle was slightly empty.

“But a mere county governor… was so greedy!” Shen Zhen also didn’t expect that Zhang Feng would be so courageous and would be so crazy about amassing money.

“Three years to become the prefect, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver…this is true.” Chu Jiao walked around the large room and stopped at the Buddhist niche.

At first glance, this Buddhist niche looks very ordinary. It houses a bottle of Maitreya Buddha lying on its side. There are three sticks of incense burning on the incense stand, which should have been lit by Zhang Feng when he came in just now.

But Chu Jiao discovered something was wrong.
