There are words in Xu Kan's words, Zhao Fan is young and vigorous.

The two of them were stunned.

It's about turning the other cheek.

But in terms of the current situation, everyone present basically understands that Xu Kan, as a heavy minister of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he take a rebel who has been recruited in his eyes.

But the situation is pressing.

Xu Kan's face twitched, saying that he really didn't dare to turn his face.

"Check, check, check. Someone came, transferred 10,000 loads of military rations to the Wancheng army, and transferred them from the warehouse of Zhijun. Xu Kan took a step back.

At the moment, the two sides parted unhappily.

Returning to the previous courtyard, You Jiugong asked, "Do we have the two people who are less people, and when did we last see them there?" ”

Zhao Fan replied: "It's at the dock, and I saw it when I moved the boxes on the ship that day." ”

You Jiugong was about to ask again, but Chen Zhen said, "No need to ask, this matter has already been decided." ”

"Got it?"

"Yes." Chen Zhen asked someone to go out to have a look, and after all of Huainan West Road and Shuzhou were gone, Chen Zhen came out with You Jiugong and came to the courtyard that was exactly the same as this courtyard again.

Only then did You Jiugong notice that there were many holes in the ground that had just been filled with new soil.

Push the door into the courtyard, and there are many such holes in the courtyard.

"What do you mean?" You Jiugong still didn't understand.

Chen Xun didn't explain and went back to the courtyard where they lived.

Chen Cheng said to everyone: "There are two identical courtyards here, one in the south and one in the north. The first thing that led you to receive the silver two money boxes was the south courtyard, and then when you were carrying the wine jar, you were introduced to the north courtyard, and then the sergeant in charge of guarding the north courtyard ate and drank and stayed, and the next day it was also the money box in the north courtyard that was moved. ”

You Jiugong nodded: "Now it seems that this is exactly the case." The real money prepared here for us to check, and then two of the subordinates brought by Meng Liao's subordinates made an internal response, and played a trick to let our people spend the night in the courtyard in the north, and the fake money box had already been prepared in the courtyard. ”

"Exactly." After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he led the two of them through the backyard, there is a canal here, and the amount of water is not small.

Zhao Fan asked: "I have checked this canal before, it is a canal drawn from the nameless river in the east, this canal is four and a half miles long, only three and a half feet wide, only one and a half feet deep, the actual water depth is not more than one foot, both sides of this canal are the back doors of each house, most of them are water channels for pouring sewage, and there can be no boats in this canal." ”

Zhao Fan made it clear that with such a width and depth, there is no way to transport a ship.

Chen Xun only asked: "How far is it from here to Qianhe?" ”

Zhao Fan asked.

Chen Zhen didn't say much, and walked downstream along the edge of the canal.

At the end of the canal is the Hidden River.

"It's one hundred and fifty-five steps, and three hundred steps are one mile, which is more than half a mile. Let's go back first, and we'll try it in the evening. ”

What to try?

Chen Zhen didn't say anything, You Jiugong looked thoughtful, which made Zhao Fan dare not ask more.

When he went back, Chen Zhen just sat there and read, but You Jiugong was busy dealing with a lot of official documents, only Meng Liao took people around, and he didn't know what to check, he just took people around, this was what Chen Zhen ordered, and the people in Shuzhou couldn't see them idle.

After nightfall, You Jiugong, including the four absolute Wancheng Army veterans, a total of eight people made preparations and went to the backyard canal again.

This time, two of the four veterans each carried two pieces of wood for building sheds, and four bamboos of fine timber that were close to the wood, and the other two veterans carried a box full of money, which contained thirty-two pieces of money, and the total weight was about two hundred and a little pound.

Backyard, sewer.

Chen Xun instructed someone to try, and a simple bamboo row tied into four eight-foot-long bamboos with a thick bowl mouth could support the cash box, but the cash box would go a little deeper into the water, but Chen Xun tried but could not get to the river, because the eight-foot-long bamboo could not pass through a few turns.

Meng Liao stepped forward: "If you use this method, I have it." ”

"You have?"

"Yes." Meng Liao said: "It is enough to cut the bamboo to three feet, use six side by side, and then put the pig urine bubble under the bamboo row, the depth of this canal is enough. The pig urine bubble is full of air, which is a little bigger. Meng Liao stretched out his hand and gestured, which was a ball with a diameter of seven inches.

There are old soldiers who immediately go to do it.

There are fireproof objects in the Wancheng army, and the water bag is made of horse skin, which is the skin of the whole horse, and a water bag can hold almost 400 catties of water.

The smaller one is called a water bladder, which is made of the bladders of cattle, sheep and pigs.

There are a lot of water bladders in the Wancheng army, and they are basically made of pig urine bubbles.

Take it, blow it, and fix it underneath the bamboo raft.

Put it in the cash box, although the bamboo raft is all pressed under the water, it only takes one person to pull the rope to quickly run to the dive river, and then lift the bamboo board and run back, transport the box to the water's edge and come back, the whole process does not exceed a quarter of an hour.

Chen Zhen said to You Jiugong: "It must be like this, this is a trap of internal and external collusion, we need to go back and investigate, who leaked the news inside our Wancheng, this matter must be strictly investigated." Second, I feel that there are people in Shuzhou secretly helping each other, but those catchers may not be lying, there are no carriages at night, and there are not many people moving around. ”

Chen Zhen pointed to the canal: "If there are many bamboo rafts, there are not too many people, there are forty people lined up to pass quickly, and they can be emptied in an hour at most." ”

You Jiugong asked: "This matter is troublesome, it will be transported there when it reaches the river, how to find it." ”

Chen Zhen stood by the river and thought for a while: "I think of a place, and it can only be this place. The river flows downstream into the Long River and then into the river. They won't go downstream, because the downstream has to cross the river south of Shuzhou, where there are a lot of people. ”

You Jiugong asked: "Upstream, this diving river is not wide or deep, and it is impossible to take a big boat." Hundreds of boxes are loaded on small boats, and they can walk fifty miles on the waterway at a night, which is the limit, and there are many people during the day, as long as people can see it, our people have already explored everywhere. ”

"It's not far, six miles by water." Chen Xun pointed upstream.

"Is it?" You Jiugong couldn't believe it.

Chen Zhen nodded affirmatively: "I think, it must be." This is not difficult to explain, because we are not only moving the tax of 8,000 acres of land, but also other things. ”

You Jiugong still shook his head: "They are the way to die." ”

"No, this is an opportunity."

Where did the two speak, Zhao Fan looked confused, and Meng Liao said that he didn't understand it at all.

Chen Zhen said: "Valley Temple. ”

"Three, Valley Temple, why?" Zhao Fan couldn't figure it out.

Meng Liao asked: "Little Fanzi, is the Valley Temple a big deal?" ”

Zhao Fan nodded very seriously: "It's very big." ”

Meng Liao asked again: "How big?" ”
