Invite the nobles and the poor monks to come and ......"

The great monk humbly led Kou Ji and his party to the grotto.

The monks who stood in front of the grotto looked at Kou Ji's eyes full of anger.

The great monk pronounced a Buddha horn with a sad face, and instructed the monks: "What are you doing here, don't go down quickly to prepare a meal, don't neglect the nobles......"

The monks gritted their teeth and looked at the great monk with complicated eyes.

The great monk had words of suffering, so he could only close his eyes in pain and proclaim the Buddha's name again.

Seeing this, Kou Ji coughed lightly.

The soldiers who followed him heard his cough and rushed to the grotto, brutally pushing the monks away.

The monks glared in exasperation, and the soldiers' knives were already on their necks.

The monks dared to be angry, but they did not dare to speak.

The monks of the Western Regions have a unique position in the Western Regions, even if they meet the leaders of the major forces, the leaders of the major forces can also be treated with courtesy.

They have lived proudly in the Western Regions for a long time, and they have never seen the scene of swords and soldiers.

So they have obviously coaxed, but they still have to put on a look of no cowardice.

Kou Ji didn't bother to bother with them, urging the great monk to lead the way quickly.

The great monk led Kou Ji into the grottoes, and carefully introduced the origin of the grottoes to Kou Ji along the way, as well as the stories of the Buddha statues and murals enshrined in each grotto.

The Buddha statues and murals in the grotto are all very exquisite.

The stories told by the great monks are also very fascinating.

So Kou Ji's itinerary is naturally slower.

In later generations, the grottoes have been destroyed several times, and many places have been dilapidated, but during the Song Dynasty, the grottoes were well preserved, and new grottoes were being excavated.

Koji had the opportunity to witness a complete grotto, so he naturally had to take a closer look.

The group passed through one grotto after another, and finally came to a closed grotto.

In front of the grotto is a huge monument, and on the side of the monument, there is a wooden portal.

If it weren't for the existence of a portal, no one would have noticed that there was a grotto hidden behind the monument.

There were several warrior monks guarding the door, and after seeing Kou Ji and his party, they became very vigilant.

The soldiers who followed behind Kou Ji rushed forward, brutally took down a few warrior monks, and opened the portal, revealing the true face of the grotto behind the portal.

"Also...... There really is a ...... Baoshan? ”

Zhu Neng, who was accompanying Kou Ji and had not made a sound, muttered to himself after seeing the scene behind the portal.

The others stared at the back of the portal in astonishment.

Behind the portal, the jewels are very compelling.

A huge amount of gold and silver jewelry, shining in the sun.

"Goodo......"

I don't know who swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The others swallowed their saliva as well.

In front of the portal.

The only ones who can still keep calm are Kou Ji and the Great Monk.

Koji jumped off his horse and paced into the portal under the watchful eye.

Inside the portal, the jewels are even better.

Eighteen golden Arhat statues are very gorgeous.

The gold, silver, and jewels piled up in the middle of the grotto formed a hill that was eight feet high.

Kou Ji saw the hill made of gold, silver and jewelry, and couldn't help but sigh, "I have long guessed that the Cao family has accumulated countless wealth for generations, but I didn't expect that there would be so many ......."

The value of such a huge amount of gold, silver and jewelry is beyond the reach of Kou Ji.

The only thing Ko Ji was certain of was that the value of so much gold and silver jewelry had exceeded his previous estimates.

Kou Ji didn't stay in the grotto for long, and after looking at it, he left the grotto.

After Zhu Neng came out of the grotto, Zhu Neng hurriedly came to Kou Ji and stammered, "More...... Is it much? ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "You can go in and see for yourself......"

When Zhu Neng heard this, he went into the grotto without saying a word.

Kou Ji shook his head with a smile, his eyes fell on the soldiers who were looking forward to it, and said lightly: "Go back and drive a group of people to drive the carriage in Shazhou City." The rest of the people, in groups of ten, went in and moved the contents out.

I must warn you before you go in.

All the seizures of this expedition to Shazhou have a share.

Don't be greedy, don't make mistakes, don't take things you shouldn't take.

If you lose your life because of this, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

Kou Ji's voice landed, and the soldiers' hearts were overwhelmed.

Yang Wenguang took the lead in holding his fists and said: "Kou Qincha just rest assured, the brothers know the severity, so naturally they will not touch the money inside." ”

The other generals who led the troops followed Yang Wenguang to echo him.

Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded slowly and said no more.

should be reminded, he has already reminded him, if someone still doesn't know whether to live or die, and his head is cut off because of greed for money, then he can't blame him.

When the great monk was talking to Kou Ji, he looked at Kou Ji's gaze and was a little stunned.

He thought that Kou Ji was an arrogant and arrogant barbarian, but he didn't expect that Kou Ji's mind was so delicate and that he could see people's hearts so thoroughly.

The great monk is also a guest of many forces in the Western Regions, and he has seen countless kings and tyrants.

He naturally knows how big the gap is between an arrogant, domineering, arrogant person who can understand people's hearts, and a barbarian who can only be arrogant and arrogant.

When you meet such a person, you can only give in.

If you hit it hard, you must be the one who suffers in the end.

The great monk glanced at the gold and silver jewels in the portal, closed his eyes in pain, and pronounced a Buddha name.

That huge amount of wealth, from now on, no longer belongs to him, it does not belong to the Thousand Buddha Cave.

Kou Ji didn't care about the look of the great monk, and after telling the soldiers, he was going to let the soldiers go in and move things.

Without waiting for the soldiers to leave, they saw Zhu Neng laughing out of the grotto, and shouted loudly: "If the court does not reward one or two princes, they will be sorry for the money in this cave." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Zhu Neng and didn't speak, just waved his hand to the soldiers who were going to move the money.

The soldiers were in groups of ten, carrying the wooden boxes and skins that Yang Wenguang had already prepared, and entered the grotto to move money out.

Zhu Neng took the initiative to invite Ying and sat in front of the grotto.

Kou Ji took the extra people to the square of the Thousand Buddha Cave.

Boxes and bags of gold, silver and jewelry were transported to the square by the soldiers.

Eighteen golden arhats were also moved to the square.

on the square.

Eighteen golden arhats, guarding a mountain of gold and silver exuding jewels, are very amazing.

One by one, the soldiers and the people stared at the gold and silver mountains and couldn't take their eyes off.

After Zhu Neng finished moving the money in the grotto, he returned to the square, and his face was a little not good.

Kou Ji glanced at Zhu Neng, was slightly stunned, and roughly guessed why Zhu Neng's face was not very good, but he didn't break it on the spot.

Instead, he instructed the soldiers to load the gold, silver, and jewels onto the carriage sent by the servants of the Koufu.

After loading the gold, silver and jewelry, Kou Ji left 8,000 people to guard the Thousand Buddha Cave, and returned to Shazhou City with the others.

On the return trip.

Soldiers and people, cheering.

Kou Ji had a slight smile on his face, but only Zhu Neng had a gloomy face.

The group returned to Shazhou City and sent the gold, silver and jewelry to the palace in Shazhou City, and then dispersed reluctantly.

Inside the royal palace.

Kou Ji sat on the steps under the throne and watched as the servants of the Kou Mansion counted the gold, silver and jewels in the wooden boxes and skins.

Zhu Neng took three steps and two steps, walked to Kou Ji's side, sat next to Kou Ji, and said with a gloomy face: "You say, why are so many people looking for death?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and let out a long sigh faintly, "Money moves people's hearts......"

Zhu Neng widened his eyes and roared: "No matter how touching you are, you shouldn't gamble with your life." ”

Kou Ji let out another long sigh and did not speak.

The greed of the human heart is endless.

For the sake of money, there are countless people who take risks.

In the process of carrying gold, silver and jewelry, some soldiers stole some and hid some of them, which was expected by Kou Ji.

It was also expected by Zhu Neng.

The reason why Zhu Neng was angry was because the soldiers who stole the gold, silver and jewelry were too stupid.

He was so stupid that others wanted to let him go, but they couldn't do it.

Among the many gold and silver jewels in the grotto, many are particularly eye-catching.

These include a crown of pure gold inlaid with a fist-sized gem, a golden knife inlaid with one hundred and eight precious stones, a piece of dog's head gold weighing more than ten pounds, a priceless pearl of the night, and so on.

Kou Ji and Zhu Neng had entered the grotto and seen those things.

But after the things were moved out, the night pearl was gone, and the gems on the gold knife inlaid with gems were detained.

The fist-sized gem in the crown of pure gold was not touched.

But the line of ruby sapphires around the brim of the solid gold crown was pried clean.

There are so many gold, silver and jewelry in the grotto, you can carry one or two agate, gemstones, jade, or a piece of gold cake and silver bar, Kou Ji and Zhu Neng can treat it as if they didn't see it.

But when you move those eye-piercing things, are you when Kou Ji and Zhu can be blind?

Even if Kou Ji and Zhu Neng had a clear conscience and pretended not to see it, Fan Zhongyan, Liu Heng and others would find clues when they helped the court count their belongings.

When the time comes, you won't track it down to the end?

If a group of ten people go in to carry their belongings, there will always be people who will leak flaws when they track it down.

When the time comes, one will be counted as one, and they will all have to be found out.

If you are stupid, you will be stabbed, and you will have to implicate those who are not stupid.

"Hey......"

Zhu Neng sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's check first, or wait for Liu Heng and Fan Zhongyan to investigate?" ”

Kou Ji and Zhu Neng went to investigate, and they could more or less protect the lives of those fools.

If Liu Heng and Fan Zhongyan went to investigate, those people would inevitably become ghosts under the knife.

Kou Ji was silent for a moment, and said faintly, "I reminded them ......"

After saying this, Kou Ji looked at Zhu Neng and said, "Didn't you also remind them?" ”

In front of the grottoes, Zhu Neng shouted loudly about the prince and the like, just to remind those soldiers that after this incident, the imperial court will definitely add officials to everyone.

But some people obviously didn't take Zhu Neng's words to heart.

Zhu Neng said with an ugly face: "But they didn't die on the battlefield, but they died on greed, which really shouldn't be." ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "We can protect them for a while, but we can't protect them for a lifetime." It seems that this kind of overly greedy and brainless is a scourge, and sooner or later it will affect others.

It is better to keep them and harm others later, than to get rid of them first. ”

Zhu Neng rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache: "That's it, I don't care." Left and right are caused by their greed, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Drop the word.

Zhu Neng got up and left the palace with a step.

Koji continued to stay in the palace to take stock of his belongings.

After counting halfway, Fan Zhongyan dragged his sick body into the palace.

"Xiaguan Fan Zhongyan, I have seen Kou Qincha ......"

Kou Ji looked at Fan Zhongyan with a little surprise, "Why are you here?" Didn't it tell you to recuperate in the house? ”

Fan Zhongyan smiled bitterly: "If you don't come again, you will die." ”

Kou Ji was stunned and said, "Why do you say that? ”

Fan Zhongyan sighed: "I heard that Kou Qincha discovered the hidden treasure of the Uighurs in Shazhou today? ”

Kou Ji glanced at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in the hall and rolled his eyes.

"Knowingly ask ......"

Fan Zhongyan laughed dryly and said, "Then those soldiers who go to carry the property have to check it." ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, looked at Fan Zhongyan and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Fan Zhongyan said calmly: "The lower officials are just to prevent the slightest deterioration, and I am afraid that some people will take things that they shouldn't take, so they will lose their heads." ”

Kou Ji groaned, "Do you know something?" ”

When Fan Zhongyan heard this, he was happy, and he said with a smile: "It seems that someone really took something that shouldn't be taken." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "You are your own person, and I won't hide it from you." It is true that someone took something that should not be taken. ”

Fan Zhongyan nodded slowly, "After the lower officials learned that Kou Qincha had discovered the hidden treasures of the Shazhou Uighurs and carried them back, he guessed that someone would not be able to resist being greedy.

Now it seems that Xia Guan really did not guess wrong. ”

Kou Ji questioned, "So...... You came to me to debunk this? ”

Fan Zhongyan shook his head with a smile, "On the contrary, Xia Guan wants to completely eliminate this matter before it breaks out." ”

Kou Ji frowned suspiciously, "Why did you do this?" ”

Fan Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, and said faintly: "They didn't die on the way to Shazhou, they didn't die in the hands of the Western Xia people, and they didn't starve to death in Shazhou City, which shows that their lives should not be extinct."

They don't deserve to die under greed, let alone their own people's swords.

Even if you want to die, you have to die at the hands of the enemy. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "So...... What are you going to do? ”

Fan Zhongyan said frankly: "Find them out one by one, and then chase back all the gold, silver and jewelry they are greedy for." Then organize them into a team and let them go out to fight with the scouts. ”

Kou Ji asked, "Don't wait for Liu Heng to check together?" ”

Fan Zhongyan sighed: "Although Liu Heng is close to you, he is a minion of the official family. If he goes out to investigate, the guilt of those people will not be hidden, and they will not escape death. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Then do what you want, and I will send someone to assist you." ”
