He said thank to god and brought all 10 bars and hid them. He planed to buy some field and get married. Unfortunately, his neighbor couldn’t keep the thing in secret.

The mandarin called the landlord to come and ask him to separate the gold bars in two, five bar for the mandarin and the others for the landlord. But the landlord didn’t want to separate that made the mandarin be angry. The mandarin had a plan he forced robbers he had just caught to said that the landlord was their accomplice. The landlord was beaten very hard. At last, he had to give the mandarin the gold bars and including his assets to get freedom.
