Xue Poye was contemplating when he heard a deep voice behind him saying: "You idiots, what are you doing standing here, why don't you go out to help?" Come up and kick Zhao Tianda's ass.
Just as Zhao Tianda was about to get angry, Xue Poye had already grabbed his hand and followed several men in black out of the tunnel.
A piece of fresh air rushed towards his face, and the turbid air that was pent up in his chest dissipated instantly after leaving the tunnel.
Xue Poye calmed down slightly, and found that he was already in a dense forest at this time. He suddenly thought of the forest behind the household bank, could it be here
Looking at Zhao Tianda with a questioning look, he saw Zhao Tianda nodded slightly.
Xue Poye smiled wryly, unexpectedly these thieves gathered here, it's a pity that the defense forces of the household department were all gathered on the outer wall of the household department compound, so they didn't notice it.
But if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would know that there are such complicated and cumbersome tunnels underground
In the forest, I saw a very strange cart transporting official silver back and forth. The cart was not pushed by a horse. It looked very simple. It had four wheels and an iron plate filled with silver ingots. Covered with a black leather cloth.
Although the car is simple, its functions are astonishing. It can be transported by itself, and its power is extremely strong. Those uneven roads can still be walked easily.
"The Gongsun family is really powerful." Xue Poye praised secretly in his heart. These cars are obviously made by the Gongsun family. Except for them, there are almost no people with this ability in the world: "The wooden cow and horse of Prime Minister Zhuge must be similar to this one. Wonderful, isn't it?"
Following the example of the other men in black, the three of them moved the silver ingots onto the cart. Every time a cart was moved, a man in black would activate the mechanism of the cart, and the cart began to move.
While carrying the silver ingots, Xue Poye searched for the leader of this group of people with extraordinary eyesight.
It's just that the entire forest is full of nimble men in black. Everyone is doing their own thing, busy, racing against time, and it's hard to see who is the real boss.
Just when he was a little depressed, he finally found that on a big tree, among the dense branches and leaves, there was a guy with a strange dress leaning between the branches, looking leisurely.
Unlike others, this person didn't cover his face, allowing a thin face to show, but he was far away, and Xue Poye couldn't see his face clearly for a while.
Xue Poye knows that this person is most likely the host of this operation, but it is not yet known if he is not the biggest planner of this conspiracy.
"Come!" A man in black suddenly pointed to Xue Poye's side and said, "You guys go over there, there is a shortage of manpower."
Xue Poye looked around and didn't know where to go for a moment. Zhao Tianda and Xu Ping were also at a loss. Fortunately, the two men in black walked over first, and Xue Poye hurriedly followed.
A group of people followed the car and walked forward. Before Xue Poye left, he couldn't help but look at the guy on the tree branch. The man seemed to be asleep, lying motionless among the tree branches.
…
After the car passed through the woods, it went along a small ditch. There was no trace of water in this ditch, and it was very dry. When the car drove through the ditch, it was extremely difficult to find it from outside the ground.
Xue Poye followed in the convoy, admiring secretly in his heart, this project was not only huge, but also every step was calculated very accurately, it went out of the forest into the ditch, and it was done in one go, and it was operating in this wasteland without soldiers patrolling, these people obviously Only with a full understanding and analysis of the geographical environment and deployment of troops here can we be so unscrupulous.
The inside and outside of the bank of the Ministry of Finance are full of elites, and strict precautions are taken. Who would have thought that the silver would be quietly transported away behind the bank not far from them.
After walking for a long time, when he was about to leave the ditch, he saw another group of people at the end of the ditch unloading the arrived silver from the carts.
Xue Poye looked carefully, only to find that there was another hole at the end of the ditch.
"It's all about underground business." Xue Poye sighed inwardly, "But I don't know where this hole leads to?"
The vehicle in front left immediately after unloading a load, and the vehicle behind followed quickly, when someone greeted: "Come here, some people, go into the cave to meet them."
Xue Poye would not miss this opportunity, and immediately ran over, followed by Zhao Tianda and Xu Ping behind him.
The entrance of the cave is not very spacious, but after getting into the cave, Xue Poye felt that the inside suddenly opened up. Although the air was turbid, he didn't know where he had tampered with it. In the tunnel, there was still air to breathe. Look carefully. After looking at it, I found that there are small holes drilled every other way on the top, and the air is drilled in through these small holes.
In the tunnel, there is still crawler-type iron sheet transportation. The job of Xue Poye and others is to receive money from the outside, and then hand over the silver to their companions and send it to the iron sheet.
Perhaps in order to prevent leaks as much as possible, the number of people here is much less than that of the bank. Xue Poye made a rough estimate. The total number of people on both sides is less than eighty. Everyone seems to have passed through. Strict training, agile hands and feet, and no sloppiness, maybe it is proficiency in this matter, every procedure is extremely proficient and smooth.
Of course, Xue Poye wouldn't delay like this forever, he played tricks on Zhao Tianda and Xu Ping, and walked quietly into the tunnel by himself.
This tunnel is much longer than the tunnel leading from the silver warehouse to the woods. The crawler iron sheet keeps turning, but it is a crawler after all, and the power distance cannot be too long, so after a certain distance, a new crawler iron sheet will appear , and the silver ingots on the front crawler will be removed by hand at the joint and placed on the new iron sheet, just like the employees who operate the workshop in the factory in later generations.
Xue Poye walked forward with his head sullen, but he was extremely emotional in his heart. Such a huge project took place behind the bank of the household department in the capital city. At that time, the Ministry of punishment and the capital of Kyoto could not find any clues, and he did not know that it was the capital of the capital and the Ministry of punishment. Too incompetent, or are these thieves hiding too well
"stop!"
As Xue Poye was walking, a voice suddenly came from beside him, which startled him.
I saw a man in black with his hands behind his back, a pair of cold eyes staring at himself.
Xue Poye secretly shouted badly, and secretly had luck in his hands. Although there are many enemies here, Xue Poye is confident that with his current martial arts cultivation, it should not be difficult to rush out.
"What are you doing?" The man in black said coldly, "Like a fly, there are no rules or distances."
Xue Poye hurriedly suppressed his voice and said, "I... I want to relieve myself."
The man in black glared at him, and cursed: "What time is it? I still have the mind to relieve myself. Let's work harder tonight. If we don't finish by the time, we will all lose our heads."
Xue Poye showed panic: "Yes, yes, my subordinates know!"
The man in black waved his hand: "Look for any place, just pull up your pants, do you need to scurry around like headless chickens? Go and come back soon." I ignored it and went straight away.
Xue Poye breathed a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth, and continued walking in this dark, damp tunnel.
This tunnel is surprisingly long, and it seems that it will never end. Every time Xue Poye walks a certain distance, he is terrified. In the extremely noisy environment of Kyoto, the construction of such a tunnel does not reveal a trace of wind. , The strictness of this organization is really terrifying.
I don't know how long it took, Xue Poye only felt that he turned a few corners, and finally when he was a little tired, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of him, unloading the silver ingots from the track iron, and then transporting them to the top.
Finally arrived at the destination, and there was obviously a hole directly above the front.
Xue Poye knew that as long as he climbed to the entrance of this cave, he would know exactly where the money was hidden, from which he could find out exactly who was involved in this conspiracy.
…
At the entrance of the cave, a person suddenly jumped down.
Xue Poye hastily walked to the side of the track, carrying silver ingots to cover up, and saw that the visitor was not masked, with a slender figure and ordinary appearance, but there was a scar on the left side of his face, which looked a bit hideous.
Scar's face was stern, and he glanced at a group of people who were busy in the tunnel, his gaze even passed Xue Poye's body.
"Hurry up and work hard, all of these credits will be credited to you, and you will be able to become an official and become a noble and rich man." Scarface said indifferently, as if he wanted to motivate everyone, but his cold voice not only did not cheer everyone up Dazheng, but a little bit of fear.
Xue Poye heard Scarface's voice, but it was somewhat familiar.
Really familiar! ! !
But looking at Scarface's face, he was sure that he had never seen this distinctive face before.
Scarface with his hands behind his back, walked back and forth in the tunnel for a while, Xue Poye was thinking about how to get out of the hole, when he heard Scarface's voice: "Come with me!"
Xue Poye was startled, turned around, and saw Dao Scar standing behind him with a cold expression on his face, naturally speaking to himself.
"Me?" Xue Poye tapped his chest.
Scarface nodded, a weird smile crossed the corner of his mouth, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
Xue Poye was a little hesitant. There was a large group of people here, why did they find him? Could it be that this scarred face saw something
But when he saw Scarface walking towards the entrance of the cave, he obviously wanted to go up, didn't he just want to go up, so he pondered for a moment, and followed.
The hole is not complicated, and it is easy to drill into it.
After leaving the cave, Xue Poye looked around, his expression changed drastically, and he saw that the surrounding area was already full of silver ingots, one pile after another.
This is a very spacious and huge hall, but it looks very dark, and the surrounding windows are sealed with black cloth towels, obviously to prevent others from peeking into the situation inside.
Xue Poye couldn't be sure how much money there was, but there was no doubt that a large amount of official money had already arrived here.
But with tens of millions of taels of official silver, no matter how huge this room is, it obviously cannot accommodate it. In other words, there is still a batch of official silver that has already been shipped out of here.
"Do you know where this is?" Scarface's voice suddenly sounded.
Xue Poye was taken aback, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Scarface pointed to a place, and said with a smile: "Look there!"
Xue Poye frowned, looked in the direction he knew, and opened his mouth in shock.
It's not a strange sight there, it's just a new moon statue, but this new moon statue is different from ordinary ones, but a celestial master's new moon statue with immortal demeanor.
Where there are celestial masters, there are Taoist priests, and where there are Taoist priests, there are naturally Taoist temples! ! !
Xue Poye quickly calmed down and came to his senses: "So this is a... Taoist temple!"
Taoist temple
Xue Poye's face became gloomy and cold. There shouldn't be a Taoist priest involved in this conspiracy, right? He turned his head to look at Scarface, but saw that Scarface was looking at him with a very strange expression.
"You brought me here, do you have any orders?" Xue Poye said calmly.
Scarface smiled, and said: "Follow me." After speaking, he turned to a small door next to him, Xue Poye couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in this person's gourd for a moment, and followed in confusion .
"Push open the door!" Scarface said calmly.
Xue Poye frowned, but still reached out and pushed open the small door.
The moment the small door was pushed open, Xue Poye had already seen the general outline of the room, only to see that there were three or four people sitting and talking in the room at this moment, and he was not surprised when the small door was pushed open, but they each responded in a different way. Weird eyes looked over.
Xue Poye swept those people away, his heart almost flew out of his throat.
These people are all old acquaintances.
The person sitting in the middle is the immortal master Xuan Yang, the one on the left is gloomy and stern, also wearing Taoist robes, but it is Qing Lianzhao's military adviser Hua Xian.
The person sitting facing Xuanyang, looking at the figure from the back, Xue Poye instantly guessed that it was Qing Lianzhao's number one villain, Yang Yao. Looking at the back, Xue Poye seemed to have seen it before.
Such four people, but gathered in a small room, is really shocking.
Xue Poye felt cold sweat breaking out on his back at this moment, he didn't understand why Scarface asked him to open the door, could it be... ! "
Before he could think about it, he heard Dao Scar's face respectfully say: "Master, I brought someone here."
Xue Poye frowned, for a moment he didn't understand who this scarred face was calling master, but when Yang Yao stood up, he realized that this scarred face was Yang Yao's apprentice.
Yang Yao turned around, fixed his eyes on Xue Poye, smiled, and said, "This brother, what's your name? We seem to be... very familiar!"
Xue Poye sighed. At this time, if you still don't understand that you have been spotted by the other party, you are really a big fool. Just imagine if you haven't been spotted by the other party, why would you be a small soldier? was brought here.
At this moment, Scarface had stretched out his hand, reaching out to pull the cloth scarf on Xue Poye's face.
How could Xue Poye allow him to succeed, his figure turned, his footwork was psychedelic, and he slipped behind Scarface in a flash, Scarface was careless for a while, but he didn't expect Xue Poye to have such a mysterious body technique. In a daze, the cold air rose from his back, and Xue Poye's cold blade had already pressed against his back.
Yang Yao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Master Xue's kung fu is really wonderful."
Seeing that the other party had seen through his identity, Xue Poye smiled, pulled off his face scarf, and said with a sneer, "The vision of the chief rudder is really admired by Xue." Looking at the scarred face in front of him, he said indifferently: "Brother , we finally meet again, your memory is really good, you can still recognize me after so long!"
Xue Poye's guess was right, the scarred face that was restrained by him was the master of Qinglianzhao's Kyoto sub-rudder, and also the elder brother in Qinglianzhao.
When the eldest brother led people to sneak into the bank of the household department, he had confronted Xue Poye head-on, and he remembered Xue Poye's actions and actions in his heart. Today, by accident, he accidentally discovered Xue Poye in the tunnel , I saw through it all at once.
Xue Poye himself didn't think that his luck would be so bad, but the matter has come to this point, and now that he has mastered the mastermind behind the scenes, he first needs to control the elder brother in order to get out of trouble, although he knows that the difficulty is greater than climbing to the sky.
Now apart from the elder brother, Yang Yao and Hua Xian are all martial arts masters, and Xuan Yang has reached the realm of eight martial artists. If he wants to get out of this predicament safely, he can only rely on the good luck bestowed by heaven.
Xue Poye felt a little regretful in his heart. He wanted to search for traces to find out who was behind the scenes, but unexpectedly, he fell into a deeper danger in the end.
Although he already knew that this matter was related to the few people in front of him, Xue Poye couldn't figure out how this conspiracy could be related to these people. And Qinglianzhao tied together.
"Master Xue!" Yang Yao said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"
Xue Poye smiled faintly: "Save my life, with him in my hand, I wonder if I can save my life?"
Yang Yao said angrily: "Master Xue Duo, everyone is our own person, why not save your life, is it possible that we still have to do something to you?"
"Oh 1" Xue Poye sneered at the corner of his mouth: "The chief helmsman still regards me as one of his own? I led my troops to kill several masters in the capital sub-helm before, breaking the rules of the gang, and now I have seen through your conspiracy and violated the rules." Breaking the taboo, so I can still live?"
Yang Yao sighed: "Brother Xue, you have misunderstood. We have always regarded you as our own and have never changed. Even if you don't find out about this today, we will find a chance to tell you. Let your senior brother go quickly." Come, sit down and talk, we still have a lot to discuss!"
Xue Poye pushed his blade forward again, and said with a chuckle: "Senior brother, can I believe what the Chief Steward said? If I let you go, will you ignore the past?"
The elder brother snorted coldly, obviously hating Xue Poye very much, so he didn't answer for a while.
Xue Poye sighed: "Chief Steward, it seems that your apprentice is much more honest than you."
Yang Yao was obviously not in the mood to play verbal games with Xue Poye anymore, his voice suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Xue Poye, those who make big things don't care about small things, so what if you kill him today, maybe you thought you were holding him, we Can you walk out of the Temple of Ten Thousand Immortals?"
While speaking, he had already approached, Xue Poye clearly saw his left hand in the palm of a knife, so he naturally moved to kill himself, ready to kill himself under the palm of his knife.
From the beginning to the end, Xuan Yang kept his eyes closed, like a stone, Hua Xian stared at this side coldly, while the guy with his back to the door was drinking tea leisurely.
