On the way home, Mr. Xu danced with a load of firewood, while Mr. Xu leisurely carried a basket and a chopper. However, if someone observes carefully, they will find that the old man is a little nervous now.


    He held the chopper''s hand, the palm of which was already dregs of sweat.


    In the view of Mr. Xu, it was not a long way.


    In his basket, the sandalwood box was at the bottom, and on it were some herbs and mushrooms.


    At this time, master Xu was really afraid that someone would come out and rob him of the treasure in this box.


    Fortunately, all the way home, nothing happened.


    Mr. Xu entered the house. Instead of throwing the basket into the yard as usual, he carried it into the main room.


    Originally came out from the kitchen, ready to take over the old man''s basket in the hands of Zhou, Leng Xia, wait for her to come back, Xu old man has entered the hall.


    "Daughter in law!"


    Mr. Xu excitedly ran to Mrs. Xu, who had just returned to the house, "I''ll show you something!"


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


    A box of jewelry, Mrs. Xu was also shocked.


    "Here, here, where did you come from?"


    "It''s picked up in the mountains. Look at the copper locks outside. They are rusty. It should be something that has been around for years!"


    Mr. Xu said with a smile, "now, we are really rich!"


    Mrs. Xu didn''t answer, but picked up the jewelry in the box and took aim.


    After just looking at it for a while, Mrs. Xu threw away her jewelry and said, "I''m in charge. I can''t keep it!"


    "What''s the matter?"


    "Look at the sign on it!"


    "What happened to the mark?"


    Mr. Xu picked up a hairpin and carefully examined the mark on the end of the hairpin. His face changed.


    "It''s stolen goods!"


    "No!"


    Mrs. Xu nodded.


    "Fortunately, we had seen the notice in the county, otherwise, it would have been a disaster this time!"


    "Blessed be my ancestors!"


    Mr. Xu''s hands were folded, and he was afraid.


    Twenty years ago, a big case happened in Wangjiang county. Jiangcheng government''s gift for his Majesty''s accession to the throne was robbed on the way, and all the officers and soldiers escorting the gift were killed.


    It was a big case that spread throughout the dynasty.


    When the new emperor ascended the throne, he heard the news and directly dispatched a large army into the territory of Jiangcheng Prefecture. What he killed was rolling blood.


    All the shanzhais and bandits in Jiangcheng prefecture were swept away.


    However, there is no clue about the stolen gift. It''s not that the robbers were not found, but that the robbers were all adherents of the former dynasty and would rather die than reveal where the gifts were hidden.


    "In charge of the family, don''t you think those things are hidden in the back mountain of Lingshui village?"


    "I remember at that time, the mountain behind our village turned over to be a cottage!"


    Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu in horror.


    Mr. Xu was silent for a long time and said in a slow voice: "daughter in law, do you think we should go to the government to report? It is said that the reward offered by the imperial court has always been there! "


    "Go


    Mrs. Xu thought for a moment, "today your father and son have met in that area of firewood cutting. Maybe others will go too. In case others find something and cause trouble, we will be implicated in nothing!"


    "Yes, then, tomorrow, no, I''ll go to the city today!"


    "Head of the family, you wait first, you say, we went to report, those people of the former dynasty, will they trouble us?"
