Counting up, it is about eleven o'clock in the evening, and Istanbul will be closed at twelve o'clock, and at that time, as long as there are people who don't know the soldiers defending the city, even if the imperial marshal comes, they can't enter the city, and Zheng Fei must return before twelve o'clock.

Fortunately, the officer agreed without even thinking about it, and he was indeed interested in seeing what was on board the rich merchant's ship. Oh no, it's supposed to be a madman living in a dream.

In the hazy night, they stepped out of the cabin, strolled through the mountains of crates, and stepped onto the beach that stretched like a ribbon to the horizon.

The sea breeze, moist with a little warmth, makes people clearly feel that spring is coming.

The beach in the distance, under the reflection of the moonlight, presents a silvery white and monotonous in front of people's eyes, but it has a penetrating beauty, which makes people hope that time will freeze here and stay longer.

Laugh, how can time stop, how can time go back, unless...... Fell into King Solomon's secret passage.

Even though it was late at night, there were still a lot of people on the beach, and every ten minutes there was a patrol, most of them were sailors who had come off the boat, and some were laborers who had not slept, and they were distributed in various places on the beach, taking advantage of the low tide to catch some fish, shrimp and crabs, and tomorrow there would be something good to eat for breakfast.

Zheng Fei took the officers and climbed onto the flagship.

The sailors were awake and cleaning up the trash on the deck, and it looked like they had just had a bonfire here.

When they saw the captain returning, they greeted him with a smile, and when they saw the officer, their faces changed suddenly, and they all stood still.

Frightened, they thought that the officers had come on board to search, in case they found guns and gunpowder......

Zheng Fei made an inviting gesture to the officer: "Please come with me." ”

Passing by the sailor's side, Zheng Fei heard a very low voice.

"Captain ......"

"Don't worry, it's okay, take the guys to clean the deck. ”

Zheng Fei was calm and calm, after knowing the identity and status of the officer, he did not regard the officer as a threat, this kind of disloyal and greedy person was easy to buy.

Overhearing their conversation, the officer muttered in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it, and under the watchful eyes of the sailors, he flew into the cabin with Zheng.

Zheng Fei took an oil lamp and walked inside until he reached the deepest part of the cabin and came to a small iron door.

Is it da Vinci's studio? No, da Vinci is on another boat, which is a small warehouse for the fleet, which is used to store more valuable items.

Opening the small door, there was a musty smell in front of him, and the officer covered his nose and complained, "What are you bringing me here for?"

"Wait and you'll know. Zheng Fei smiled and sold a pass.

The officer pouted and followed him as he stooped in.

This small warehouse, covering an area of less than 30 square meters, looks unremarkable, and the most conspicuous thing in the whole warehouse is the two huge boxes, which are more than six times the capacity of normal large boxes.

Seeing such a large box, the officer wrinkled his brow in confusion, and his heart was filled with a deep curiosity, and he couldn't wait to see what was in the box.

Zheng Fei stepped forward and unlocked the lock.

The lid was so heavy that he slowly lifted it with great difficulty, revealing all the treasures that had been sealed for many days.

The officer's pestle was stunned in place, and what caught his eye was a whole box of yellow gold coins, roughly estimated at least 100,000!

Although it was a very simple arithmetic, he still snapped his fingers, calculated how many years of income he had, and finally concluded that even if he added extra money, it would be enough for him to earn a hundred years.

How long is a hundred years, and how many years can you live in a lifetime?

His radiant eyes, staring straight at the gold coin, greed filling every nerve of him, made him want to reach out and grab a handful.

In fact, his hand was already stretched out, stuck in the pile of gold coins, squinting his eyes to appreciate the feeling of being surrounded by money, faintly, let out a long sigh.

Zheng Fei stood quietly aside, smiling without saying a word.

It took a long time for the officer to come to his senses.

"Is it all your money?" the officer asked.

"Yes. ”

"And what's in the other box?"

"It's gold coins, too, and some of them are in small boxes and kept in other cabins. ”

"How much money do you have?"

"This ...... There's no need to tell you, right?" Zheng Fei leaned against the wall, his arms clasped over his chest.

The officer swallowed silently, his hand pulled back from the pile of gold coins, his eyes still reluctant to take his eyes off the gold coins, and his breath was short.

Silent.

Such a large amount of wealth made him feel a little hot, not excited, but ashamed, because not long ago, he thought that Zheng Fei was a madman who dreamed big.

"These ...... You made it all by sailing?"

"Well, there are a few others. ”

Zheng Fei walked to the corner, took out a small box, and opened it in front of him.

All of a sudden, his eyes almost fell off.

A long time ago, Zheng Feigang owned his first ship, the New World, and set off from the port of Barcelona with only a few dozen sailors, intending to cross the Strait of Gibraltar to Lisbon, where he would repair and cross the Atlantic to the Americas.

But on the way, they came across a small island, where Zheng Fei found a batch of treasures, which were brought to Lisbon, and Zheng Fei was also imprisoned, and after successfully escaping from prison, he sold the treasure to a greedy jeweler, exchanged a large sum of money to buy the horses and weapons needed by the knight legion, and planned a vigorous rush out of Lisbon.

However, among the treasures he had left behind were the jewel-encrusted crown of pure gold and the statue of Venus with a broken arm.

At this time, the officer saw the crown, the glittering gold, those incomparably brilliant gems of all colors, deeply attracted his burning gaze, and at a certain moment, he even had the evil idea of robbing the wealth, but soon gave up again.

First, he came out in a hurry and didn't bring weapons, and second, even if he mobilized soldiers to grab this group of treasures, he would eventually end up in the pockets of the triumvirate of the royal commissioner, the Duke of Istanbul and the Strait Garrison, and he would not be able to catch a single hair.

He couldn't control his hands, he pinched them again and again, and the feeling of just looking at them without touching them was really tormenting.

Then, Zheng Fei closed the box, and he was finally relieved and deeply relieved.

"Where did you get this crown, it's worth a lot, isn't it?" he asked knowingly, his lips a little dry, and he licked it.

"Don't worry, there's more. ”

Zheng Fei put the box back in its place, hummed and took out a huge long wooden box and placed it at the officer's feet.

"Let's open it and take a look. He said to the officer.

Cases of this shape are usually used to hold gun barrels.

The officer's heart instantly hung in the air. (To be continued.) )
