The Courtyard House: Xu Damao's Aunt is the Queen of Women

West Courtyard.

Ye Juan lit a fire, boiled water to wash her face and feet, and lay down in bed. The orange-red light shone on her flawless, alabaster-like face, giving it a hazy, warm jade-like glow.

Thinking about what had just happened, she felt both ashamed and angry, and punched the blanket a few times.

"You shameless bastard!"

After grumbling for a while, she felt a surge of secret joy when she thought about how much Liu Hao liked her.

But soon, her smile faded, and she began to feel nervous and anxious.

Bringing her boyfriend home was the first and last time she had ever done so in her life. She had been faking her nervousness in front of Liu Hao, because she was worried that he might overthink things.

Forget it, I won't think about it too much. Anyway, my choice won't be wrong!

I'll admit I'm wrong!

"I hope you behave well tomorrow, or else... I'm going to elope with you!"

Ye Juan mumbled something, reached out and pulled down the cord of the light box, closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

……

At midnight, heavy snow began to fall.

A figure leaped over the wall of No. 95 courtyard and ran towards the West District at an extremely fast speed.

When Liu Hao unleashes his full power, he is incredibly fast, agile and nimble, and can still run at breakneck speed even on thick snow.

The snow was too heavy, and it was the middle of the night, with extremely low visibility. Relying on the map of the capital that Liu Hao had inadvertently found in the filing cabinet of the finance department during the day and secretly put into his storage space, it took him more than an hour to arrive at No. 17 Qianhai West Street in Xicheng District.

On the west side of the Prince Gong's Mansion wall, Liu Hao hid in a corner, trying hard to recall the location of the rear building.

In early September before his time travel, he and his girlfriend Chen Yanqiu visited the capital and toured the Prince Gong's Mansion.

However, the Prince Gong's Mansion in 2025 is very different from the Prince Gong's Mansion in early 1964.

At this time, Prince Gong's Mansion was not a protected cultural relic and was occupied by multiple organizations and a large number of residents.

There are dormitories belonging to the Ministry of Public Security, a kindergarten belonging to the State Council's General Office, and dormitories belonging to the Capital Fan Factory. In other areas, hundreds of residents live scattered around, presenting an overall situation where offices, schools, and residences are mixed together.

Fortunately, Liu Hao's memory was still very clear, and he remembered the location of the back building.

He tightened the black cloth covering his face, bent his legs slightly, and leaped onto the wall as if his body were springy, then turned and entered the Prince Gong's Mansion.

It was my first time stealing, I was quite nervous!

Don't panic, don't feel guilty. I've given the country my house, shop, and savings. What's wrong with taking a little gold and purple?

Moreover, if I don't take it, it might end up in someone's pocket if it's discovered in later generations.

At worst, after the reform and opening up, I will set up a welfare foundation to fund children in impoverished mountainous areas.

Besides, Heshen's money was ill-gotten gains obtained by plundering the people.

I am a citizen, and this is tantamount to extorting me. Isn't it reasonable for me to take back my money?

When I use money to help my impoverished compatriots in the future, what does that mean? Taking from the people and using it for the people!

Liu Hao composed himself and, relying on his memory, made his way towards the back of the building.

The Prince Gong Mansion is truly enormous. Before it was listed as a protected cultural relic, it was both vast and chaotic. It took Liu Hao half an hour to finally reach the rear building.

The treasure was discovered in 08 in a narrow wall next to the corridor in the Baoguang Room.

These double-layered brick and stone walls contain passageways that lead to underground treasure cellars.

This cellar was a secret treasure trove that even Emperor Jiaqing failed to discover when he confiscated the property.

Liu Hao crawled into the back building and came to the door of Baoguang Room. He listened carefully but heard no breathing. He tried to push the door and found that it was unlocked.

He pushed open the door, slipped inside, and gently closed it again. He took out a flashlight with a cloth-covered tip and turned it on. By the dim light, he was surprised to find that the place had been converted into an office.

That's normal, after all, Baoguang Room used to be Heshen's reception room.

Arriving at the wall of the corridor, Liu Hao squatted down, placed his hand on the brick wall, and the blue brick entered the space.

There are restrictions on the storage space; items can only be placed within a 1-meter radius. Items outside this range cannot be released or stored.

After a few quick digs, he successfully dug a hole big enough for him to crawl into. A pungent smell, a mixture of earthy, musty, rotten, and rusty odors, filled the air.

Liu Hao raised his hand to fan the light, pulled off the cloth covering the flashlight, peeked inside, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

No deviation, this is it! The treasure room, sealed for nearly two centuries, has finally entered its owner!

Liu Hao's heart pounded, his eyes filled with longing for Jin Zi.

They carefully crawled into the hole, stepping on the blue brick steps, and intently checked for any traps.

The stairs were deep, and Liu Hao walked very slowly.

"Goodness, it must be at least 10 meters above the ground!"

Liu Hao was amazed and descended into the underground space without any incident.

Yes, it's all about space. This place is actually a fishbone-shaped basement with a passageway about 1 meter wide and 2 meters high, and warehouses on both sides.

The treasure room that was later opened to the public for exhibitions is just one of them!

Wow, let me see just how many good things he's hiding.

With a restless heart, Liu Hao walked to the door of a warehouse. The door, made of Phoebe zhennan wood, was not yet rotten, and the large copper lock hanging on the door was only covered with a layer of rust.

A miraculous feat was achieved through sheer force; the two were violently ripped apart.

With a snap, the lock broke. Liu Hao dodged to the side of the door and used the wooden stick he had picked up on the way to pry the door open.

Better safe than sorry; if there's a trap, we're doomed.

The door creaked open, but there was no mechanism. Liu Hao didn't dare to enter until ten seconds later.

The next second, he froze on the spot!

Gold and purple, so much gold and purple, rotten and collapsed wooden frames mixed with small wooden boxes, gold ingots, jewelry and jade artifacts filled a warehouse of about 10 square meters.

These gold pieces have been stored for so long that a thin oxide film has formed on their surface, giving them a light, matte finish when illuminated by a flashlight.

Liu Hao bent down and picked up a horseshoe-shaped gold ingot, also known as a horseshoe gold ingot.

The 50-tael note is engraved with the characters "Made in the 40th year of Qianlong's reign" in regular script.

In the Qing Dynasty, one jin was equal to 16 liang, and one liang at that time was approximately equal to 37.3 grams today.

50 × 37.3 = 1865 grams, or 3.73 jin.

The official gold ingots minted during the Qianlong period were of extremely high purity, generally between 95% and 99%, and were of pure quality.

It feels heavy in your hand, just as heavy as the little queen's cub granary!

Store it all in the space, leaving not a single copper coin behind.

The second warehouse didn't contain gold ingots; instead, it neatly stacked 12 iron-hooped wooden crates. Lifting one of the crates revealed long, rectangular gold bars, each weighing approximately 350 grams.

The third warehouse contains jewelry, jade, gold and silver ornaments!

receive!!!

The fourth warehouse contained various gold and silver utensils, ivory and jade artifacts, and other precious treasures.

receive!!!

The fifth warehouse contained calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, nineteen pieces of famille rose porcelain, and two Yuan blue-and-white porcelain jars!

receive!!!

The sixth warehouse, Silver Purple?

Damn it, you actually hid Yin Zi in such a secluded secret room? That's so low-class!

I won't mind the silver and purple ones, I'll take them all!

All sixteen warehouses were taken over. Each warehouse, measuring 10 meters long, 5 meters wide, and 5 meters high, was filled with a total of 250 cubic meters of storage space, leaving less than 10 cubic meters of empty space.

Fortunately, they had finished collecting them; otherwise, he would have had to make another trip.

If someone finds out, I'll sit up in the middle of the night and slap myself!

Liu Hao returned to the ground with a full load of loot, carefully repaired the hole, and restored it to its original state as much as possible before finally retreating with satisfaction.

He listened intently by the door for a while, and when he was sure no one was there, he opened the door and came out.

Close the door and evacuate along the corridor.

As we passed a room, an unexpected event occurred: the lights inside suddenly turned on, and the vermilion door opened.

A woman with a good figure and sleepy eyes lifted her foot to step out of the threshold. When she saw Liu Hao, her pupils suddenly contracted, her sleepiness vanished instantly, and she subconsciously opened her mouth to call out.

"you……"

Liu Hao swiftly covered the woman's mouth, pushed her into the room, and pinned her to the ground.

"If you dare make another sound, I'll kill you!"
