Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 107 Looting the Hidden Treasury and Killing the Boss's Wife and Children

After storing Duan Zhengde in his spatial storage, Wang Feng checked the time; it was already past 3 a.m.

According to Duan Zhengde's confession, his secret stash was hidden in a courtyard house near Dongzhimen. Wang Feng took out his bicycle and headed towards Dongzhimen.

Wang Feng felt more at ease once the slush fund was safely in his pocket. He had arrested Duan Zhengde's family tonight, and who knew what kind of storm it would unleash tomorrow.

It took Wang Feng more than 20 minutes to ride his bike to the courtyard where Duan Zhengde hid his treasure.

This was a detached courtyard house with one entrance. The door was locked, and the key wasn't with Duan Zhengde. Wang Feng leaped over and jumped into the courtyard.

No one lived in the small courtyard; it was overgrown with weeds, and the house was dilapidated.

Wang Feng used his spiritual sense to investigate and found the mechanism to the secret room in the storage room. He stomped hard on a floor tile, and the wall of the storage room made a "crack" sound, revealing a doorway in front of him.

Looking towards the entrance, Wang Feng was somewhat impressed by these people. If he hadn't possessed spiritual sense and knew the mechanism of the treasure trove, even if he had dug three feet into the ground, he still wouldn't have been able to find Duan Zhengde's secret treasury.

This portal appeared completely normal before, and the crack in it, thanks to its clever design, was also undetectable. This is definitely a perfect hiding place for treasure.

Wang Feng probed the doorway with his spiritual sense but found no traps or mechanisms, so he stepped inside.

Upon entering the doorway, Wang Feng discovered a secret room measuring 1.5 meters wide and 3 meters long, containing three boxes.

One of the boxes contained large yellow croakers, about two hundred of them, and another box contained small yellow croakers, about six hundred of them. The third box was quite large and contained several pieces of jade jewelry, some gold jewelry, and some antiques such as porcelain vases and calligraphy and paintings.

Wang Feng put the three boxes into his spatial storage, then used his spiritual sense to search the other rooms again. Finding nothing of value, he climbed over the wall and left.

On the way back to Courtyard No. 95, Wang Feng carefully examined his catch: 258 large yellow croakers and 666 small yellow croakers, totaling about 202 jin (101 catties).

Wang Feng didn't understand the other box of porcelain vases and calligraphy and paintings, and couldn't calculate their value for the time being, but they should all be good items.

As for the jade jewelry, Wang Feng could tell at a glance that it was top-grade imperial green jade, and there was nothing lower than that quality. These were good items. Gold jewelry, on the other hand, was not worth much money, so there was no need to calculate it.

The current black market price for gold is around eight yuan per gram. This 202 jin of gold alone is worth over 80 yuan. Including other items, its value may exceed one million yuan. One can only imagine how many bad things Duan Zhengde did to accumulate such a huge fortune.

A million dollars is an astronomical figure nowadays. Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-grade worker, saved up for his whole life, and it seems he only had a little over 20,000 dollars in the end.

Back at No. 95 Courtyard, it was already past four in the morning. Wang Feng climbed over the wall into the backyard, then went to the middle courtyard, pushed open the door, took off his clothes and hood, and stored them in his spatial storage.

Wang Feng did not go to bed. Instead, he returned to the space and beckoned Duan Zhengde's son and daughter-in-law over.

The two were wearing pajamas. As soon as they opened their eyes, they found themselves tied up tightly.

"Who are you? Where is this place? Let us go!" Duan Jianzhong roared.

Duan Zhengde's wife, Li Rong, glared at Wang Feng and shouted angrily, "Release us immediately! Don't you know we are Minister Duan's family members? Do you want to be eaten alive?"

Wang Feng looked at the mother and son and said coldly, "I regret to inform you that you are about to die."

"Who the hell are you? Do you even know who I am? You'd better let us go right now, or I'll make sure your whole family suffers a terrible fate."

"You...you actually dared to murder the family members of a high-ranking official? Don't you want to live anymore?"

Li Rong couldn't believe it. Had the young man in front of her gone mad? How dare he kill them? Who were they? They were Minister Duan's wife and son!

"Heh, it's precisely because you are Minister Duan's family members that I want to kill you. To prove what I'm saying is true, let's kill one of you first."

The voice just fell.

Under Wang Feng's mental control, a dagger appeared out of thin air and swiftly pierced Duan Zhengde's wife's heart.

"Well!"

Just as Li Rong was about to speak, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, pointed at Wang Feng, her eyes filled with disbelief, and collapsed to the ground.

Even on her deathbed, she couldn't believe that someone would actually dare to kill her.

"mom!"

When Duan Jianzhong saw that his mother had really been killed, he screamed wildly, but his mother had already breathed her last and could no longer hear his cries.

At this moment, Duan Jianzhong was completely convinced that the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as him, really wanted to kill them, and he immediately showed a look of terror.

"Brother, my dad is Minister Duan. If you don't kill me, I can give you a lot of money and even make you a cadre. I swear, as long as you let me go, I will definitely make my dad give you a lot of money."

Wang Feng shook his head and said coldly, "Didn't I just say that we want to kill you because you are Duan Zhengde's family members? Why can't you understand?"

"Big brother, big brother, I know my dad offended you, but I'm innocent! I haven't done anything wrong! Please, please let me go! If you want revenge, go find my dad!"

After witnessing his mother die before his eyes, Duan Jianzhong was terrified. He was only 21 years old and had not yet married or had children. He did not want to die.

Wang Feng sneered: "Heh, your father is a traitor. He did something that angered both heaven and man. Although you and your mother didn't do anything wrong, you enjoyed the resources that Duan Zhengde gave you, so you have to die."

"Most importantly, your father is my enemy. My habit is to eliminate any potential threats completely. Alright, I've told you so much, you can die knowing the truth now. Blame it on your own bad luck to be born into the family of Duan Zhengde."

"No!"

As Duan Jianzhong screamed wildly, another dagger flew in and pierced his heart.

Soon, Duan Jianzhong collapsed to the ground in extreme resentment, dying with his eyes wide open.

Wang Feng stored the two bodies in a corner of his spatial storage. He planned to either throw their bodies into the deep forest or cremate them directly in his space the next time he went to the mountains.

As for feeding them to tigers, Wang Feng never even considered it. He always felt uneasy about tigers eating human flesh.

The reason they were killed was because they were no longer of any use. Killing them was simply to eliminate any potential threats. Duan Zhengde knew everything they knew, since he was still in the space warehouse anyway.

After cleaning up the bloodstains, Wang Feng arrived at the ranch and saw several tiger cubs happily nursing. Wang Feng smiled.

As for the other male tiger, he kept it locked up separately, and when it was time to mate, he would put the female tiger and the male tiger together.
