The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 687: Dragon Robe

The bed boards were made up of smoothly polished ivory boards pieced together, with hardly any gaps visible between them.

Lin Shuo instructed the soldiers to pry open those ivory boards one by one while he carefully observed and explored the wall near the bed.

Soon, he noticed a small protrusion. He pressed down on it firmly, and a hidden door appeared on the wall.

He was just about to have torches prepared to go inside when a soldier who was prying open the ivory boards shouted, "There’s something here!"

Lin Shuo went over to take a look. Beneath the ivory boards was a gap containing many letters, neatly tied in bundles.

He had the soldiers keep an eye on this spot and personally handed the letters over to the Duke before leading a team with torches into the hidden door.

Inside the hidden door was a passage between walls, about three to four feet wide. There was nothing inside the passage. Lin Shuo searched meticulously for a long time before discovering a mechanism on the floor. Activating the mechanism revealed a staircase leading underground.

Lin Shuo ordered the soldiers bearing torches to walk ahead while he followed them down.

The staircase was short, and they soon reached the bottom. Lin Shuo glanced around the relatively spacious room, its stone walls lined with many wooden chests placed in order.

He randomly opened one of the chests and was almost blinded by the dazzling gold inside.

Lin Shuo closed the chest and made a quick count of the chests before instructing the soldiers who followed him down, "Take them out."

He stood guard outside, watching the soldiers laboriously carry the chests out one by one, then forward them to the front courtyard.

Yan Beichen was lying on the ground when a soldier accidentally tripped over his leg and almost fell. Annoyed, the soldier kicked Yan Beichen aside and continued carrying the chest.

The gold and silver from the cellar were carried out for a full hour.

Jiang Zhongxing observed the people registering and cataloging everything, noticing that the imbeciles had yet to uncover things in the ancestral hall. He had no choice but to call Lin Shuo over again and quietly said, "You and Captain Chen head towards the ancestral hall. Remember, don’t be too obvious."

Lin Shuo instantly understood; there were items in the ancestral hall.

He proceeded to the second courtyard and happened to encounter Captain Chen. He put an arm around his shoulder and said, "Let’s lead some people to search around more, just in case we’ve missed anything."

Captain Chen, like Lin Shuo, was a second-generation official. The two strolled around Yan Mansion’s backyard with arms around each other’s shoulders. Lin Shuo pointed at a distant building and asked, "What’s that place over there? Has Brother Chen searched it yet?"

The ancestral hall, compared to other buildings, was more solemn and dignified, making it quite distinctive.

Captain Chen shook his head, "That’s the ancestral hall. What’s there to search? It’s just a few tablets."

Lin Shuo pulled him towards it, "Let’s check it out anyway. We can’t leave just yet while the registration’s still ongoing."

Captain Chen was dragged into the ancestral hall by Lin Shuo, who then gestured to the soldiers to begin their search.

Soon, the soldiers discovered a box beneath the altar’s drapes, and Lin Shuo had it pulled out. A soldier said, "There’s also a bundle."

Lin Shuo took the bundle and opened it, his face changing drastically. Inside was a Dragon Robe!

Captain Chen was also startled, feeling that even one glance was a sin, "Quick, quickly wrap it back up." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Lin Shuo wrapped the bundle again and ordered the soldiers to smash open the lock on the box.

Inside the box were several pieces of jade.

The jade itself was unremarkable, but what was peculiar was that a piece of first-class mutton-fat jade had been carved into a seal, and this seal was much larger than those commonly used.

It was almost the size of a Jade Seal.

That wasn’t all; the top of the seal was carved into the shape of a coiled dragon.

The bottom of the seal was perfectly clean, with no engravings.
