When Jia Hao entered the bedroom, he felt a resentful gaze from a woman. " Are you Zhu Wuya's wife?"
" Young Lord is right." The lady lowered her gaze and cupped her fist. However, Jia Hao remained calm and collected as he activated his Sage's Divine Eyes.
" Do not resent me, Madame. Resent your husband who bit the hands which fed him."
" My husband is innocent!"
" We shall know shortly." Jia Hao chuckled as he looked around the room.
' The entrance of the hidden room should be here. As for how to access it, there must be a switch to trigger it.'
' Hmm, In movies, such switches are either books or statues. Statues…Eh? A frog?"
As opening and closing the cupboards, Jia Hao noticed a from inside a small drawer, symbolizing a fengshui frog. It looked simple and without any issues.
But, Jia Hao saw something different.
[ Iron Frog: A switch mechanism to open the hidden cellar. The protector of hidden wealth]
Suppressing his excitement, Jia Hao calmly walked to the Iron Frog and studied it. Suddenly, he moved it without hesitation.
Then, a light sound of stone grinding alerted everyone. Old Yang's expression changed as he shouted. " Move the bed! Move bed fast!"
As the guards moved the bed, they were surprised to find a small hole opened beneath the bed.
" Well, I told you all." Jia Hao shrugged. " No need, I will be going first."
" But Young Master, This might be dangerous!" Old Yang stepped forward. " Let me do it."
" I said I will be fine." Jia Hao laughed. " Have trust in me, will you?"
Saying that, he followed the narrow stairs and walked down. Entering the cellar, Jia Hao could feel a light wave of fresh air, showing that there are ventilation system inside the vault.
And before him lay three huge crates, along with many boxes on the shelf. As Jia Hao opened the crates, he unsurprisingly found stacks of gold taels lying cold in them.
As he checked the other boxes on the shelf, he found jewelry, ivory, jades, crystals and other trinkets.
Lifting the smallest crate, Jia Hao dumped it into his Pot of Miracles. After all, he should reward himself after so much hard work, right?
Walking back, Jia Hao called out to Old Yang.
" Old Yang, come down and yourself."
As Jia Hao got out, Old Yang and two other guards entered the vault. When they saw the crates full of gold, they couldn't help but curse aloud.
" Fuck! This son of bitch!"
" Heavens! How much money had he amassed?"
" Bastard!"
When they carried out the crates, the entire Zhu Estate plunged into chaos. Jia Hao looked at the crates and found around 250,000 taels of gold. If add the other treasures, the value would definitely surpass 350,000 Taels of gold without a doubt.
As for how much money Jia Hao took, it was just a bit above 100,000 taels. So there are no issues."
' Not to mention, there is an account book hidden inside my crate. Hehe, I can even take more money from the people Zhu Wuya had bribed.' Jia Hao grinned, making Old Yang and the other guards shudder.
They never expected their frail looking son in law would be so fierce! With a single wave of his hands, he dispersed the mist and found the hidden stash of gold!
" En, seize the property and arrest everyone in this estate." Jia Hao's voice was placid.
" Also, distribute 200 taels of gold to each guard who came with me."
" Young master?" But this money…" Old Yang was about to say that it was Cai Family's, but Jia Hao waved his hand.
" No need to bother. Just take it as a treat to for following me."
200 taels of gold are like three years worth salary. All the guards couldn't help but clench their fist in excitement.
" We thank Son in Law for generosity!"
" We thank Young Master Jia!"
" En, no need to worry. Just grab the crates and follow me back to the Cai Family."
Suddenly, everyone felt the young man with grass in his mouth looked very imposing.

" And this is the money we found in the hidden vault inside Zhu Wuya's bedroom." Jia Hao spoke.
" Now, Why don't you say this is your servant's money, Hm?
" Or…Are you going to tell us that your servant was sleeping with your wife in your bedroom?"
The crowd hissed at Jia Hao's venomous remarks. Even Cai Yunhai couldn't help but click his tongue. However, soon it was replaced with a cold voice.
" Zhu Wuya! Are you still going to refuse?"
" Patriarch Cai…"
" Silence!"
Cai Yunhai's voice thundered, making everyone's heart quiver with paramount fear.
" Zhu Wuya, You think I didn't know that you have been embezzling money?" Cai Yunhai snorted. " But I let it go because as a financier, It's common to pocket a bit of money!"
" However, not only did you misuse the family funds, but you took such large chunks for yourself. You even pocketed the money which was supposed to be the wages of the soldiers of Cai Family!"
" Bastard! Is this the result of the Cai Family treating you well?!"
" Jia Hao, you did well. If it wasn't for you to warn Yixue, I wouldn't have known that I am raising a snake in my house." Cai Yunhai spoke in a mild voice.
" It was my honor, Patriarch." Jia Hao cupped his fist.
Suddenly, Zhu Wuya understood everything. He understood why Cai Yixue was able to find the problematic account books, Why his hidden vault got discovered, Why he fell to this state!
All because of Jia Hao!
A surge of anger and resentment rose in his heart, realizing that there is no escape. Jia Hao felt a surge of dark emotions in Zhu Wuya's heart, making his lips curl.
" What is it, Zhu Wuya? Feeling resentment? You shouldn't have taken so much money in the first place." Jia Hao spoke in a taunting voice.
" But your wife was so young…It would be a shame to see her circumstances after you are gone."
" Bastard! If I am going down, I will take you with me!" Zhu Wuya turned around as his eyes already turned bloodshot. A metallic glint flashed in his hands, making everyone alarmed.
" Jia Hao!"
Cai Yixue's face turned pale as she shouted. Old Yang also rushed to save Jia Hao, but Zhu Wuya was standing too close to Jia Hao, giving nobody the time to push him away.
However, instead of fear, Zhu Wuya noticed Jia Hao's eyes turning resplendent as his lips curled even more.
" In case you haven't noticed, you have fallen right into my trap."
Raising his fist, Jia Hao gathered all his strength as he utilized a basic move of Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art.
*BOOOM!*
The small dagger flung far as Zhu Wuya's body flew like a sack of rice, with blood spurting from his mouth. With a punch, Jia Hao shattered his ribs, almost crushing his heart.
Blood pooled in his mouth as Zhu Wuya tried to struggle, but Cia Yunhai waved his hands, making no one approach him.
" He sinned against the Cai Family. Let him die like that."
As Zhu Wuya took the last breath, a surge of crimson and black smog lunged toward Jia Hao, fusing with his seed of desire and expanding it.
