The moment Xue Poye pressed the switch, he saw the solid four walls of the warehouse rising slowly. Besides, there was a thin opening in the middle of the granite floor, and the two sides were slowly pulled apart. Zhao Tianda and Dali treasury official hid in the corner of the house in a hurry.
The mechanism was activated, but the sound was not very loud. The wall rose and the ground cracked. Except for Ziyi who had seen it before, the other three were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
The silver light is dazzling.
With the rise of the four walls, an even more astonishing sight slowly appeared. There was a huge gap between the walls, and in the gap, layers of silver ingots were placed together, shining brightly. Dazzling silver light.
The treasury official opened his mouth and murmured: "No wonder... no wonder the wall between the two warehouses is so thick, but it is for... hiding money...!"
Under the opened granite floor, there are extremely deep and wide hollow compartments, which are empty, but Xue Poye knows very well that a large amount of official silver must have been stored in these wide hollow compartments.
The four rocky walls had been completely lifted up, only then did Xue Poye discover that, except for some official silver left on the southeast sides, the northwest walls were completely empty.
"Master Hou, they have taken away the money here." Zi Yi explained.
"They?" Zhao Tianda said angrily, "Who is it? Who is so brave to steal Kuyin?"
Xue Poye frowned and asked, "Where did they leave?"
Zi Yi said: "Look, Lord Hou." He suddenly jumped into the compartment on the ground, squatted down, put his ear on the layer of rammed earth below and listened for a while, and then lightly patted a few places, and heard "click" With a sound, a large hole was exposed in the rammed earth layer, which seemed to have no trace of mechanism. The hole can accommodate two people to enter and exit at the same time. The hole is dark, and it is unknown what is underneath.
"Master Hou, this is where they left, and the silver was transported out through this secret road." Zi Yi said.
Xue Poye looked horrified, stared blankly at the entrance of the cave, and after a long time, sighed: "It's terrible, it's terrible."
It is really a terrifying thing that there is a passageway from the ground in the majestic Household Bank that allows people to enter and exit at will.
Everyone thought that the official bank of the bank had been stolen long ago, so the vigilance and attention to the empty bank were greatly reduced, but taking advantage of this opportunity, the thieves turned back and quietly During the process, the silver was slowly transported away in batches.
This is a huge project. It can be imagined that this group of thieves is definitely not ordinary petty thieves, or even ordinary gangsters. The other party is a well-organized group with top talents in technology and intelligence.
The huge amount of official silver that was transported out was supported by a huge evil intention behind it.
…
Xue Poye pondered for a while, and finally realized that there were still purple clothes in the other rooms, so he hurriedly told Zhao Tianda: "Go and open the doors of the other rooms and let them come out...don't suffocate them all!"
Zhao Tianda hurriedly led the treasury official to call for someone.
"Master Hou, judging by my humble position, this group of people will not do anything during the day. They should only enter the treasury to steal silver after the time of Hai, but they will withdraw immediately after the time of Yin." Zi Yi provided as much information as possible. To Xue Poye.
Xue Poye squatted at the entrance of the cave and looked down. It was pitch black, and he asked softly, "When they steal silver, will they first check the wind?"
Ziyi cautiously replied: "Three people came out from below, they activated the mechanism with great strength, took the silver from the wall and threw it into the cave, there must be someone below to respond. Before they started, they just listened to the little one in front of the door. For a moment, I don’t know whether it’s too confident or the time is tight, and I won’t open the door to go out to find out.”
Xue Poye nodded, and murmured: "The two missing Dali treasury officials may have discovered their traces, so they killed and mutilated their bodies."
Zi Yi asked softly: "Master Hou, if they do this, they might startle the snake. Aren't they worried that they will attract our attention?"
Xue Poye appreciated this question very much, nodded and said: "They must be very clear about the guarding of the bank in our household department. Now many people are talking about the movement of the bank because of ghosts, and they dare not approach it. Bigger, and most importantly, they run the risk of alarming others, and that’s probably because time is tight and they have to take a risk.”
Zi Yi nodded yes.
Xue Poye saw this Ziyi's quick thinking and vigorous hands, so he couldn't help asking: "What's your name?"
"Humble job Xu Ping!"
"Xu Ping, you have done a good job. I will invite you to reward you." Xue Poye patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
Xu Ping said respectfully: "I don't dare to be in a humble position. If I can be loyal to the Holy One and serve the Lord Hou, I am lucky to be in a humble position."
Xue Poye laughed, Shen Sen became serious, and said softly: "There is still some silver here that has not been stolen. If there is no accident, they will make a comeback tonight and transport all the silver here."
Xu Pingdao: "Master Hou, what should I do next?" Pointing to the dark entrance of the cave, he said, "Let's enter the cave right now, let's go check it out?"
Xue Poye waved his hand and said: "No, we don't know anything about the situation inside, let alone startle the snake." After a pause, he said thoughtfully: "Let me think about it...!"
Soon, other Ziyis also gathered. Except for the three warehouses that were silent, the other six people also saw a similar situation.
"There is no movement in three warehouses. It must be that the silver inside has been shipped out." Xue Poye pondered: "The seven warehouses were started at the same time. Combined, the No. 23 warehouse alone will require a lot of manpower... There are three warehouses in the east warehouse. More than ten treasuries of silver have been stolen, shouldn’t they attack more than thirty treasuries at the same time? The manpower of this group of thieves is terrifying!”
But think about it, the possibility of attacking more than 30 warehouses at the same time is extremely slim.
"Xu Ping, you stay here with two brothers, and the other brothers are led by Vice President Zhao to leave here." Xue Poye commanded thoughtfully: "Vice President Zhao, lead the other brothers to leave here." , must be kept secret and not let anyone find out."
Zhao Tianda agreed, and Xu Ping immediately ordered the two purple clothes to stay. After the others saluted, they followed Zhao Tianda to retreat.
"Xu Ping, there is a great use for me to keep the three of you." Xue Poye said kindly: "You close the organ at the entrance of the cave first."
Xu Ping agreed, stretched out his hand and patted several places on the rammed earth, and the hole was indeed closed.
"It's all up to Lord Hou to order!"
Xue Poye pondered for a while, and asked, "Xu Ping, in your opinion, if the three of you attack at the same time, can you quietly deal with the three traitors who came to steal the silver from the warehouse?"
Xu Ping looked at the same as the other two, and said confidently: "Master Hou, the reason why the two of them are kept in humble positions is because the three of us often worked together before and cooperated with each other. I have carefully observed the three traitors last night. They have strength, but their bases are flimsy, and they don't seem to be martial arts masters, if the three of us attack at the same time, we can kill them in an instant."
Xue Poye happily said: "That's good, that's good!"
The three of Xu Ping were a little puzzled. The most important thing right now was to hunt down the rebels and get back the official money. What's the use of killing the three people who took the money? But from Xue Houye's confident eyes, the three knew that Hou Ye must have thought of two strategies.
…
…
For Xue Poye, this day is to fully recharge his energy and recharge his batteries. He left all his affairs behind, returned to the General Guard's Mansion after morning, hugged Xiao Suzhen and slept soundly in the blue sky and broad daylight.
There is no day-to-day announcement.** program, I just try my best to nourish my spirit and restore the physical imbalance caused by fatigue for a while.
Although Xiao Suzhen was surprised that Xue Lang still hugged each other to sleep in broad daylight, she was relieved to see him smiling sweetly while sleeping.
At dusk, Xue Poye woke up leisurely, saw that Xue Poye had brought the food, got up to wash up, and after spitting, he didn't care about talking, kissed Xiao Suzhen, and ran like flying to the bank.
Habayashi guards had disappeared around No. 23 warehouse for a long time, only Zhao Tianda stood in the corner and watched, seeing Xue Poye coming, he hurriedly said: "My lord, the three of them have recovered their spirits, just wait Catch ghosts at night."
Xue Poye chuckled. After a day's rest, he looked very good and full of energy. He rubbed his nose and said, "It's still early, those guys will go into the warehouse to steal silver when it's Hail, just follow me around !"
Zhao Tianda opened his mouth and said: "Sir, if there are spies of thieves here, wouldn't they know our whereabouts?"
"These weird things happened here, if you and I were not here, they would be more vigilant and careful." Xue Poye laughed and said: "We walk around to let them see us and let them know that we are Checking around like a routine."
Zhao Tianda seemed to understand something, and praised: "Your Excellency is still brilliant."
"Otherwise we can become adults?" Xue Poye laughed, straightened his clothes, and led Zhao Tianda to check the various roads criss-crossing the bank of the household department. Lin Wei and Xue Poye would both come forward and say a few words of comfort.
There are forty warehouses in Hubu East Warehouse, which is an extremely large building complex. Xue Poye and Zhao Tianda stopped and walked for more than half an hour before they saw the high wall behind the warehouse. The gray-brown wall was thick and solemn.
"What's behind?" Xue Poye asked, rubbing his nose and looking at the wall of the backyard.
Zhao Tianda replied, "It's a forest."
Xue Poye frowned, didn't ask any more questions, and walked around for half an hour before stopping to rest.
It wasn't until Haishi approached that the two quietly turned back to the No. 23 warehouse, opened the huge stone door, and the two quickly entered the dark passage. The huge stone door was closed tightly after they entered.
Xue Poye did not continue to walk in, but took Zhao Tianda and waited quietly in the passage.
The turbid air made them both feel very uncomfortable, but in order to catch big fish, this must be endured, and in the warehouse, Xu Ping and the three purple clothes have been lurking for a long time.
Xue Poye admired the endurance and willpower of these purple clothes from the bottom of his heart.
He suddenly thought of "ninjas". These purple clothes are probably stronger than ninjas.
The time is patiently passing slowly, and I don't know how long it has passed. The strange sound that Xue Poye has been waiting for for a long time finally resounds from inside again. Now Xue Poye already knows that the strange sound is nothing but the activation of the mechanism. the sound of.
Thieves have appeared! ! !
A sneer appeared on the corner of Xue Poye's mouth, and he patted Zhao Tianda's shoulder lightly, and the two of them walked in lightly.
When they were about to leave the passage, the two stopped, but continued to wait, and Xue Poye listened attentively.
"Boom boom boom!"
There were three faint knocks on the door from the storeroom, and Xue Poye said in a low voice: "It's time, Xu Ping and the others have succeeded." He walked out of the passage and walked quickly to the storeroom where there were people in ambush.
Sure enough, the door has opened a gap that can only accommodate one person in and out. Xue Poye entered the door without hesitation, and saw that the mechanism inside had been fully activated, but Xu Ping and the other three kept going there. Hole input.
There were three corpses lying on the ground, all wearing black clothes, and their heads were tightly wrapped with black scarves, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and now the three pairs of eyes have lost their luster, and they are dying.
Xue Poye didn't say much, and nodded towards Xu Ping, Xu Ping made a gesture to the other two Ziyis, the two Ziyis nodded, and continued to move the money into the cave, while Xue Poye, Zhao Tianda and Xu Ping and the others quickly pulled off the clothes worn by the three corpses, took off their own clothes and put on the black clothes of thieves.
Soon, Xue Poye, Zhao Tianda and Xu Ping changed into three "thieves".
What Xue Poye has to do is to follow the vines, go deep into the tiger's den, and find out the big fish.
The other two Ziyi dragged out the three corpses neatly, while Xue Poye and the others could only serve as porters temporarily.
For Xue Poye and Zhao Tianda, although they had plenty of strength, they did relatively little carrying work, so their speed was inevitably much weaker.
Finally, from under the dark hole, there was a faint cursing voice: "Hurry up, you idiots!" The voice was not loud, but it seemed a little annoyed.
Zhao Tianda clenched his fists, Xue Poye coughed lightly, but had no choice but to speed up.
Fortunately, most of the official silver in this warehouse has been stolen, and the remaining small part was processed in less than an hour.
After the last ingot of silver was thrown into the cave, Xu Ping said to the entrance of the cave, "It's gone."
Xue Poye was taken aback, why did Xu Ping's voice change, it was different from his previous voice.
Xu Ping made several gestures towards Xue Poye, Xue Poye finally understood that Xu Ping was imitating the voice of the thief who had just been killed, so that the other party would not hear the flaws in the voice.
Xue Poye secretly praised: "Xu Ping has a careful mind, and most importantly, this guy can also ventriloquist, so you can't accept it!"
After a while, there was a response from the cave: "Seal the organ!"
Xu Ping glanced at Xue Poye, went to close the traps on the four walls, and then returned to the entrance of the cave, but saw Xue Poye made an encouraging gesture to the two of them, and was the first to jump into the dark cave middle.
The moment Xue Poye jumped down, both hands had accumulated enough energy to smash rocks and crack earth, which could be used to protect himself.
This hole is really deep. After landing, there was a "click" on the ground, and a lot of water splashed up. It seemed that the dug was really deep enough. It was only at this time that I realized that there was no light in the hole, but It's very dark.
A narrow underground passage extends to the south, and there are flickering figures inside. Several people are getting money out, and torches are hung on the wall.
Although this passage is extremely narrow, it is still wide enough to accommodate two or three people. A tall man in black stood in the tunnel, looked at Xue Poye, and asked in a deep voice, "It's been cleaned up?"
Xue Poye nodded.
At this moment, Zhao Tianda and Xu Ping also jumped down one after another when they heard two sounds of "patta clap".
"Get out first!" The man in black waved his hand: "I'll close the mechanism!"
Xue Poye said "En", led Zhao Tianda and Xu Ping into the passage, and followed the others along the passage.
The man in black stayed at the end, and didn't know how to start it, so he heard a "click" sound, and the ground and the hole in the warehouse closed together again, intact as before.
Half-bending forward, Xue Poye discovered at this time that beside the passage, there was actually a crawler-type iron mechanism. The silver ingots were placed on the iron sheet, and the silver ingots were transported out of the passage through the mechanism.
Looking at this exquisitely designed crawler-type transmission mechanism and this channel project, Xue Poye was more and more shocked.
There is no doubt that such an exquisite mechanism must have been designed by the Gongsun tribe, that is to say, the Gongsun tribe must have participated in this conspiracy to steal official money.
In this world, how many people can order Gongsun's family to move
There are such passages and organs in only one warehouse in No. 23 warehouse, so what a huge number of twelve warehouses and more than 30 silver warehouses? This project will not be successful overnight. Xue Poye can imagine that this project probably started a year or two ago.
That is to say, the conspiracy to steal treasury silver was very likely to have started before he crossed over.
After walking for a while, the passage turns left and merges into another larger tunnel. After walking for a while, you can see a segmented hole coming from the side. There is no doubt that these branched holes are all leading to the bank. The other eleven warehouses in the warehouse were broken into parts and finally gathered into a huge tunnel.
Torches are hung every few steps on the wall, and the silver ingots on the iron sheet are shining under the light of the fire.
Who would have imagined that there would be such a huge underground project under the peaceful household bank.
Following a group of men in black walking forward quickly, there are more and more branch openings, and men in black will come out of each opening from time to time, and these branch openings, according to Xue Poye's judgment, are from other banks. There are more than 30 warehouses in the branch passages, all of which have exquisite underground passages, and according to visual inspection, there are more than 50 people in black in the tunnels.
Xue Poye went to see Zhao Tianda and Xu Ping, and the eyes of these two people also showed a look of shock.
This passage was very long, and after walking for a long time, the air gradually became fresher. Xue Poye knew that the exit was not far ahead.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, a narrow hole appeared in front of it, and the crawler iron sheet came to an end here. Many people specifically took the silver from the iron sheet and passed it out through the hole.
"Who planned this terrifying conspiracy?" Xue Poye asked secretly in his heart.
