On the way home, Mr. Xu jumped with a load of firewood, while Mr. Xu leisurely carried the basket and the hatchet. However, if someone observes carefully, he will find that the old man's expression is a bit nervous now.

He was holding the hand of the hatchet, the palm of his hand was already sweaty.

The road that was not a long way, in the eyes of Mr. Xu, is really a bit longer.

In his basket, at the bottom is this sandalwood box, on which are some herbs and mushrooms he picked.

At this time, Mr. Xu was really afraid of someone coming out and wanted to **** this box of treasure from him.

Fortunately, nothing happened until I got home.

Father Xu entered the house, instead of throwing the basket into the yard as usual, but carrying the basket into the hall.

Originally coming out of the stove, Zhou, who was about to take over the basket from the old man's hand, was stunned. When she recovered, old man Xu had already entered the main room.

"young married woman!"

Mrs. Xu excitedly rushed to Mrs. Xu who had just returned to the house not long ago, "I'll show you good things!"

Then, the old man placed the sandalwood box in the basket in front of Mrs. Xu.

Old Mrs. Xu was also shocked by a box of jewellery.

"This, this, where did it come from?"

"I picked it up in the mountains, and I saw that the brass locks outside are all rusty, it should be a few years old!"

Father Xu smiled, "Now, our family is really rich!"

Old Mrs. Xu didn't talk, but picked up the jewelry in the box and looked at it.

After just looking at it for a while, Mrs. Xu threw away the jewelry in her hand and said, "Master, this thing, you can't keep it!"

"What's wrong?"

"Look at the mark on that!"

"What happened to the mark?"

Father Xu picked up a hairpin and carefully checked the mark on the tail of the hairpin. At this sight, the old man's face also changed.

"This is stolen money!"

"It's not!"

Mrs. Xu nodded.

"Fortunately, we read the notice in the county seat, otherwise, this time it will be a disaster!"

"My ancestors!"

Father Xu put his hands together, and he was also terrified.

Twenty years ago, a major incident occurred in Wangjiang County. The gift given by Jiangcheng Mansion to his majesty's enthronement was robbed during transportation, and all the officers and soldiers who escorted the gift were killed.

This is a big case that spread throughout the entire dynasty.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and upon hearing the news, he directly dispatched an army into Jiangcheng Mansion, killing heads and blood.

All the cottages and bandits in Jiangcheng Mansion were wiped out.

However, there is no clue to the gift that was robbed. It's not that the robbers weren't found, but the robbers were all remnants of the former dynasty, and would rather die than reveal the hiding place of the gift.

"Master, you said, shouldn't those things be hidden in the back mountain of our Lingshui Village?"

"I remember at that time, our village was a cottage when it turned over the hill!"

Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. Xu in amazement.

Father Xu was silent for a long while, and said slowly: "Daughter-in-law, do you want to go to the government to report it? It is said that the court's reward is always there!"

"Go!"

Old Mrs. Xu thought for a while, "Your father and son met in that piece of wood cutting today, and maybe others will go there in the future. In case someone finds out something and causes something wrong, we will be totally implicated!"

"Sure, then, tomorrow, no, I will enter the city today!"

"Master, you wait first, you said, let's go to report, will those people in the front make us trouble?"
