It was very deep and dark inside, and by the time the two of them realized it, they had lost their way. Stumbling and walking for a long time, I came to a rock wall.

On the top of the rock, there are droplets of water falling on the water. The two of them drank water when they heard shouts in the distance. "Let's fill in this hole first."

The two of them were very nervous, but they didn't dare to alarm the outside. Seeing the sand and lime fall into the hole, the two had to rush forward.

Finally groping his way to the entrance of the cave, he shook his body and knocked down a slave worker. Shook the sharp shovel head over heavily.

"Brothers, it's against the fuck!" Xiong Li also grabbed a pickaxe and struggled to break through. The slaves were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

At this moment, those overseers and minions didn't know where to go for a while. Wielding their blades and running wildly, the two took the opportunity to climb over the fence.

Cao Shilang heard the sound outside and ran out with a look of anger. "You useless dogs, you can't even kill a few dogs."

He drew his sword and stabbed it so hard that a poor slave was impaled to the ground. At the same time, the broken fence drilled out of the wolf.

"Roar!" They screamed, biting at everyone they touched. The terrible cry continued to echo, and the entire salt mountain was filled with a terrifying atmosphere.

Hou Qu and Xiong Li took advantage of this opportunity to escape from the encirclement. "Go back quickly, report to the Imperial Brother, and act together."

At this time, Cao Shilang commanded those minions to drive away those hungry wolves. "With such a big salt mountain, it's normal for a few dead ghosts to want to run."

Thinking of this, he commanded the minions sharply. "Build the wall, hurry up and dig a trench for the uncle, I don't believe that anything can come in."

Cao Shilang decided to stay here himself. "Anyway, the affairs in the official office are naturally managed by the master, I am optimistic about these salts, and there can be a lot of silver."

At the same time, Mrs. Cao was alone in the boudoir. She looked at the empty window, anxious, not knowing what to do.

She gently pushed the door open, crossed her feet, and looked out into the hallway. Footsteps on the floor, crisp sounds, dangdang straight, soon came to an end.

At this time, Cao Xiao paced and walked out slowly. Looking at her, he grinned. "Madame, are you thirsty? The villain has water here. ”

Madame Cao looked at him, her eyes widening. "But you? Dress up as the owner. His legs trembled, and he went straight to the back.

The corners of Cao Xiao's mouth curved, revealing a strange smile. "Madam, there is an old saying, it is rare to be confused, too smart, it is a good thing."

Looking at him, Mrs. Cao knew that she couldn't get out. I just got to the water tank, took a sip of water, and went back to the boudoir.

She lay on the bed, thinking anxiously. "How is that good? If he comes, the agreement with the imperial brother will not work. ”

At this time, Cao Xiao ordered the family members of the Cao Mansion to guard the mansion tightly. In the surrounding lawn, a trench was dug vigorously.

At this time, Song Zhiyao and the others returned to the county seat. "Lord County Commander, I want a team to catch fast, not much, as long as the kung fu is good and the mind is clever."

Listening to his words, the county order said. "That's not a problem, it's just that there are thieves who come to the door and try to buy the small county, and the small county is also perfunctory."

Liu Yichen looked at the county order and said in surprise. "Since there is such a thing, I'll go and see." He put on a white suit and walked to the backyard of the county office.

There, a fat white man, wrapped in a purple turban, sat there. He turned his head, looked at Liu Yichen, and said with a smile on his face.

"Brother, are you here to get rich too?" Liu Yichen smiled. "Naturally, I came to make a fortune, even if I got a mouthful of salt, it was enough to spend a long time."

Listening to his words, the man stretched out his palm and grabbed Liu Yichen. "There's a lot of salt on the ferry, it's cheap, and you can make a lot of money when you ship it out."

Liu Yichen looked at him with a look that seemed a little unnatural. "Will this person be Cao Shilang, sent to test the county government, you must be careful."

So he muttered for a long time, and then replied. "It's just that the wind is tight, it's better for us to avoid the limelight, and when luck comes, let's make a big one."

The man laughed. "Brother, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and this is the case, and it is not forced." As he spoke, he walked out the door, jumped into his hand, and rode onto his horse.

Liu Yichen looked at the posture of this person riding a horse, and speculated in his heart. "Maybe he's also from the army, I'll find a way to talk to him."

So he shouted. "This brother, if it is safe, I will also bring the silver." The man dismounted and laughed. "Guest officer, it's finally enlightened."

It turned out that the man's name was Cao Wang, who was a distant relative of Cao Shilang, who had joined the army and had been a water ghost robber on the river, and defected to him to do this.

Listening to his words, Liu Yichen clapped his palms and said generously. "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, four days later, a word is the decision."

Cao Wang laughed, holding the reins of the horse in his hand, and with a snap, his figure disappeared into the night. Liu Yichen went back, looked at Song Zhiyao and smiled.

"Yao'er, it's just delivered to the door." After listening to his explanation, Song Zhiyao's heart was also stable. "It's just two brothers, and they haven't come back yet."

Liu Yichen listened to her words and replied. "Yao'er, wait a little longer, two brothers, the kung fu is very good, there won't be any big deal."

So, he grabbed Song Zhiyao's waist, and the two returned to the room. Song Zhiyao took off her clothes, stroked her hair, washed her face, and fell asleep.

Liu Yichen looked at the starlight outside the window and fell into deep thought. "If you don't do this, if something really happens, I'm really sorry for Si Baihong."

He has already made two preparations, if Cao Shilang comes, he will be arrested by the river. If he doesn't come, he will raid Salt Mountain and find the ledger.

By the next day, the two had been sitting until the evening, and they had not seen the two brothers. "Xianggong, what should I do? There won't really be any ......."

Before Song Zhiyao finished speaking, Liu Yichen covered her mouth. "It's okay, let's go to Tianzhou together tomorrow, and it will come out naturally."

In the evening, the county magistrate brought twenty catchers. They are alert-eyed, strong-boned, and full of muscles. Dressed in rags.

Liu Yichen arranged them one by one and ordered. "Ladies and gentlemen, let me command you in all your actions."

He went back into the house and thought about everything. "It would be dangerous to also check those shops in a timely manner, and not let them destroy the evidence of the crime."

Early the next morning, they took a small boat and headed for the city of Tianzhou. In the river, I came across a lot of cargo ships and went along that side.

Liu Yichen looked at those boats, some of the drafts were particularly heavy. From a distance, there are no valuable goods on it, just a few people rocking the oar.

When they saw Liu Yichen, their faces showed an expression of disgust in an instant. Holding the tarpaulin in his hand, he covered it hard, and the hull of the boat stirred up waves.

Liu Yichen naturally understands their thoughts. Command those to catch quickly, swing the oars, and go to the side. After a while, it was bypassed.

Look at the ferry, right in front of you. Liu Yichen and the others tied the boat and went straight to the shore. Suddenly, he noticed that there were hostile eyes all around him.

In the tea shop on one side, a pair of sharp eyes saw them. "Two small ones, keep an eye on those new customers, don't lose them."

Liu Yichen happened to hear the voice as well. "We have to move quickly, and then we have to go around the side and get to the corner, and then we will be safe."

They rounded a few street corners and finally shook off the stalker. Liu Yichen and the others went straight to Cao's mansion, stretched out their hands, and knocked on the door vigorously.

However, after knocking for a while, no one answered. The two looked around, but there was no one there, and the silence was terrible. "Why don't we go first."

Liu Yichen looked around, and it turned out that except for the side of the steps, there was already a trench dug by the wall, and water was poured inside. There are also sharp thorns stuck around it.

The two of them stepped back alertly, and heard footsteps coming from inside the door. "The master hasn't come back either, and now I'm opening the door, I'm afraid it's not a thief."

Liu Yichen listened to the voice, not like Cao Shilang's tone. "Maybe it's someone else, but what if they invite me in?"

Song Zhiyao looked at Liu Yichen's appearance and felt that something was wrong. Reach out and hold him. "Xianggong, get out of here first, and then try your luck elsewhere."

Before the two could leave, the door creaked open. Several family members, with sticks and sharp knives in their hands, ran out to surround the two of them, and said arrogantly.

"You two are thieves, aren't you? What to do when knocking on the door? As he spoke, he pressed Liu Yichen tightly, and he was about to poison him fiercely.

Just at this moment, Cao Xiao walked out. "Oh, aren't these two distinguished guests? and when they have all paid their money, let them out quickly. ”

Liu Yichen looked at him, although his face was similar, his expression was completely different. "This person must be fake, I can only calculate it now."

So he said with a smile. "Oh, we are also in a hurry, we handed over a lot of silver taels, and we haven't seen it back, and we are really annoyed."

Then, Cao Xiao stretched out his hand and pulled him. "Two, let's have some tea in the house first, then the matter is negotiable, and there is no need to be too anxious."

Song Zhiyao and Liu Yichen looked around vigilantly, stepped into the hall. The two sat on yew chairs, and the maid served tea.

Liu Yichen looked at Cao Xiao and said earnestly. "Those merchants are in a hurry, and if they don't move, their money will go to buy other people's goods."

Cao Xiao took a sip of tea gently, and his mouth bubbled. "Fifty percent has been prepared, and the rest will be dug up in two days."

Listening to his words, Liu Yichen smiled. "Adult, don't blame the little one, it's really time for the villain to be short-sighted, just in a hurry to sell."

The two were talking, and Song Zhiyao looked at the maid on the side. It turned out to be a new face, and the expression was also very contrived and nervous, avoiding her.

Thinking about Houqu Xiongli in her heart, she became more and more confused. "I'm afraid it's not going to be killed, or I'm stuck there, or maybe something else."

Liu Yichen and they talked all afternoon, and in the evening, he came out. "In a word, these silver tickets will be given to you now."

Cao Xiao held the silver ticket, his eyes lit up. "Where to look at the goods, someone will naturally come to tell you tomorrow night." The two of them said goodbye from Cao's Mansion and walked out.

As soon as the two of them reached the intersection, they met a short man. "Two, Mrs. Cao specially let the little one come, she is now trapped in the mansion and can't move."

Listening to the dwarf's words, Liu Yichen pulled him and hid in an alley. "So where is the real Cao Shilang now?"

The elf replied. "He's gone, it's just our little ones, we don't know where we went, and there are a few of their eyeliners over there."

Liu Yichen looked at the dwarf and whispered. "If that's the case, you go back first, we have our own actions, so that Mrs. Cao can feel at ease, don't act rashly."

The two of them went to the distance and ordered the catchers to hurry. "Everyone, go find a small inn, sleep in the stable, and wait until evening, and then go out naturally."

They walked along the road, looking at the crowd around them. There are many people who are very bulging and shaky at first sight, and they must be carrying private salt.

The two observed for a long time and found a small inn. They spent a bunch of copper coins to let the innkeeper rest in the stables in the backyard.

Looking at it from afar, it was dark again. Song Zhiyao and them were eating dry buns and drinking water. Lay the hay underneath and rest on it.

After a while, a few more people came. They were dressed in coarse rags and carried flat burdens. "Guys, just leave it empty and stick a seam."

The men lay on the ground, dragging their bunks, and in a few moments fell asleep. Liu Yichen looked at the package, and there seemed to be something moving inside.
