Butz and Francis covered each other and went underneath, and Butz picked up the torch that had fallen on the ground and stretched it out in all directions to illuminate it.

"See anything, Butz?" The man above shouted.

"......No," Butz said as he walked inside with a torch. At this point, his foot seemed to have tripped over something.

Butz stumbled and almost fell to the ground, the torch in his hand sank, and a child's wide eyes appeared in front of him, but the eyes were full of whites......

"Ahh Butz screamed and jumped all at once, almost hitting Francis.

"What's wrong?" Francis Road.

"Nothing." Butz recovered by this time, and replied, "I fell and almost fell on the dead." ”

Then he stretched out the torch in that direction, and in the light of the fire he could see a child lying there bleeding from the corner of his mouth, holding a doll in his hand. Not far from the child, lay her mother, who was still clutching an empty bottle in her hand.

A little further ahead, there are two boxes, and I don't know what they contain.

Butz turned his head and shouted to the above, "There's no one alive in there!" I saw two boxes! ”

The soldiers came down one after another, dragged the box up first, and someone carried up the mother and son who had died inside. It was a very young woman, and her child was probably only two years old, probably just beginning to walk.

But now everyone's attention is not on them - it's just two dead people, and everyone has seen a lot. All eyes were on these two boxes.

There are locks on the chests, but locks, no matter how strong they are, can only defend against thieves, and these things are useless when they meet the French. A soldier picked up the butt of his rifle and smashed open the lock that hung on it in a few clicks. Then Philips walked over and lifted the lid of the box.

As the lid of the box was lifted, a burst of golden light almost pierced the eyes. Inside that box, it was full of golden coins.

"What is this? Ah, it's gold! It's real gold! Thank God Almighty! It's all gold! Philip grabbed a gold coin, put it in his mouth and bit it gently.

"Company Commander ......"

Many soldiers looked at him. Their eyes are shining with a different kind of light.

Philippe immediately closed the lid of the box and said, "These are French property. Let the pastor come and count the registration in a moment. Half a box of gold should be worth a lot of money. ”

After saying this, he looked at everyone meaningfully. Everyone immediately understood what the company commander meant, and they all laughed.

Although the time to open the box just now was short, everyone also saw that it was not half a box of gold coins, but a full box. This means that the company commander is willing to take the lead and ...... with everyone

And this box, what's inside? Attention quickly turned to the problem. Then the same butt of a gun smashed the lock, and Philip lifted the lid, and everyone reached over, but there was no whole chest of gold or silver, but only some neatly arranged paper. However, everyone was not particularly disappointed, although this box looked bigger than the one, but when it was lifted up, it was not heavy, so before the box was opened, everyone was already guessing that there would probably be nothing in this box.

Philippe picked up the top piece of paper and looked at it, a certificate of deposit from the Banque de Beauvan, in the amount of 100,000 francs. Unfortunately, this is a deposit certificate that can only be withdrawn by matching the agreed password. I don't know the corresponding secret language, and I can't withdraw money just by holding the deposit receipt. Of course, the money that could not be withdrawn still nominally belonged to the man named Abdullah bin Haag on the certificate of deposit. But the certificate of deposit must be handed over to the state as a trophy of war, and even if that Abdullah bin Haq had not died in the war, without the certificate of deposit, he would not have been able to withdraw the money. So the money was destined to lie motionless in the account of Bowang Bank, and even it was already Mr. Bowang's money.

There are also some title deeds, some bills and so on. However, Philip felt that most of these bills would not be found. At this time he noticed that smoke was rising in several other directions, indicating that the siege of the other manors was also in full swing.

The attack on the estate by the Turks and French outside the city was soon discovered by the defenders inside the city - after all, the high lookout towers on the city walls were not useless ornaments. Ahdi Pasha immediately blocked the news, because many people in the city had their family businesses outside, and if they knew what was going on outside the city, they might not be able to defend the city with peace of mind.

But where can this kind of news be blocked? The soldiers had to go up to the city wall to defend, and when they got up the city wall, they could naturally see what the Turks were doing outside. Then the morale of the army was shaken, and some officers immediately ran to ask the Pasha to send an army to destroy the invaders. But Ahdi Pasha feared that sending troops would weaken the defenses on the harbor side. While he was in trouble, he heard a report from Yusuf Pasha, with his cavalry, willing to go out of the city to sweep away the enemy troops.

Hearing this, Ahdi Pasha was overjoyed and hurried to see Yusuf Pasha off in person. Yusuf went out of the city with more than 200 of his cavalry.

The Turkish cavalry that had been guarding the gates reacted immediately, first firing a salute into the sky to warn the friendly troops who were having a good time looting that the enemy had come out. And then it came closer.

Today, the cavalry operations in North Africa are gradually connected to the European track. They also became popular with revolvers. On the contrary, the Turkish cavalry was relatively more conservative, and until now, it was armed with cavalry spears. Of course, if there is a real chance to hedge or something, a long cavalry spear is not necessarily worse than a pistol. But people have pistols, and they are stupid to fight you in close combat. So with a crackling sound, the Turkish cavalry gave up the task of holding back the enemy and scattered in all directions. According to post-war statistics, in that instant, the Turkish cavalry was reduced by a tenth. What else can you say about this? Of course, it's only the only way to run.

After freeing himself from the entanglement of the Turkish cavalry, Yusuf Pasha quickly approached the manor closest to the city with more than 200 cavalry.
