The size of this box was not very large, but it was heavy and substantial.
The box itself was quite unique, with wooden textures on its surface, yet even after being buried in underwater mud for who knows how long, there was not a trace of decay.
An antique bronze-colored lock still hung from the lid.
Zhang Yuan tore the lock off directly.
When he opened the lid, the contents inside were immediately revealed to his eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan's mind was filled with only one word: "Damn!"
Because inside the box, it was stuffed full of gold bars!
Due to the excellent sealing of the wooden box, no water or mud had entered before Zhang Yuan opened the lid.
So these gold bars were as pristine as if they had just been cast.
Not only that, but the surface of the gold bars was embossed with the words "Ten Taels of Pure Gold".
Zhang Yuan roughly estimated that there were at least a hundred gold bars in the box.
At ten taels per bar, that amounted to a thousand taels of gold.
