Chapter 32: Treasure Begins

Bao Si died.

This arrow is in the middle of the door, and the gods are difficult to save. It is in response to the saying "people die for money".

"It's a pity, you could have made a fortune and didn't have to die." Zhao Lie looked at Bao Si's corpse with regret.

Just five steps away from Bao Si's corpse was a stack of boxes piled high, filling the entire back hall. After opening them one by one, the jewels are all bright, and the room is bright.

Even Ma Nanchun, who is accustomed to seeing gold, silver and jewelry, has lost his mind for a moment, let alone others.

"It's okay now, I don't have to worry about running out of funds when I go to sea." Zhao Lie rubbed his hands excitedly. Although he had no sailing experience, he also knew that to support a seagoing ship, all kinds of maintenance, labor expenses, and material reserves were definitely a huge amount. I was thinking about how to use musket technology to exchange with the Ma brothers for sailing funds, but now it seems that ...... Ha ha! That's enough! Enough is enough!

"Zhongping, can you estimate how many there are here?"

Ma Nanchun was the only one who knew anything about these things, and Zhao Lie could only ask him for help.

Ma Nanchun walked around the hall, and picked up some jewelry treasures from time to time to take a look: "This is the East Pearl, the grain is large and round, white as jade, a thousand dollars, this Hu is no less than 100,000 yuan...... This coral is actually four feet, the so-called three-foot treasure, five-foot treasure, this thing can be called a rare ...... Agarwood tablets are worth tens of thousands of dollars, and this box full of agarwood, as long as you find a suitable buyer, you can sell it for 10,000 yuan...... And these white bi, and green jade, and gold ornaments, and silver ingots, and mink skins, and silk and satin......"

Ma Nanchun couldn't count it anymore, and shook his head: "I can't estimate it...... It's probably around a million. ”

"Millions? How many 500-material ships can you buy? "Zhao Lie has no concept of price conversion in this era, so he has to use sea ships to valuation, anyway, if he can afford a boat, he will definitely be able to afford it.

Ma Nanchun muttered: "This depends on the quality of the ship's workmanship, speed performance, and oars and sail vehicles, and the price of the same ship can be nearly half a ...... But in any case, three or five ships can still be afforded. ”

"That'll do." Zhao Lie said with a smile, "We don't want three or five boats, so it's okay, take out half of the property for the purpose of raising the boat, and how about the rest of the six of us divide it equally?" ”

Ma Nanchun was born from a wealthy background and never paid much attention to money, but he thought that his brother spent a lot of money to raise troops and food, and he urgently needed to replenish it, and if he didn't get a copy of so much money, he was always unhappy, so he nodded and agreed.

The Ding family sisters and brothers never dreamed that they would have so much money, and they didn't know what to do about this windfall for a while.

Shi Yang grinned widely, touched this and that, and had nowhere to put his hands and feet.

Wang Ping'an, who has always been silent, was the first to speak: "My life was given by Zhao Ye, and I was given such a weapon at stake...... Anyway, I just follow Zhao Ye, and I always have a mouthful. It's useless for me to hold this money, I don't want it. ”

As soon as Wang Ping'an said this, the Ding family sisters and brothers glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Brother Zhao, keep it, let's not want it." ”

Shi Yang touched his nose and said, "If you want to say, my life was also saved by Zhao Tou......"

Zhao Lie waved his hand: "Okay, okay, so let's do it, anyway, there is no time to count, it's not easy to divide it for the time being, everyone will remember the share first, and when the count is counted, whoever wants to take it will tell me." How is it? ”

Everyone nodded in goodness.

Zhao Lie was quite satisfied with this battle, although there was a little accident, but it was generally good, and basically met his expectations: the first victory, zero casualties. Of course, there are many lessons that need to be summed up: for example, it is necessary to strengthen wartime discipline and severely punish those who shoot without authorization; For example, reconnaissance in advance should be meticulous, and there should be no room for mistakes, and things on the battlefield should not be sloppy at all; For example, cross-shooting should be based on the principle of approaching the target, and try not to shoot blindly...... The thieves in the hall were only two palms, and the four of them actually fired more than 50 bullets, and many thieves were covered with blood holes, almost beaten into a sieve, which was too wasteful of bullets.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Jueyuan walked in with a wiped stick: "The thief who wanted to escape is called Chen Hai, who is the leader of the thieves and the culprit of the slaughter of the temple." Thank you for your help......" Before he finished speaking, he was shocked by the tragic situation of corpses all over the hall.

To say that six people raided bandits with twice the number of raids, as long as the weapons were powerful and well-trained, it was not a big problem. But what Jueyuan saw was that half of these six people had no combat effectiveness at all. For this "reinforcement", Jue Yuan has no confidence at all. Zhao Lie only asked him to clean up the thieves guarding the mountain gate and not let him participate in the raid, and Jueyuan only thought that the other party did not trust, and planned to get rid of the thieves guarding the gate as soon as possible to help. Unexpectedly, as soon as he met the thief, the palace of the Heavenly King shook the sky, stirring him and the thief into doubt. After he defeated the thief, the other party begged bitterly, but it made Jueyuan, who was a monk, embarrassed. In the end, it was the sudden appearance of Bao Si who helped him solve this problem - the knife fell in his hand and cut off the thief's neck.

When Jue Yuan saw the crazy thief leader Chen Hai running towards the mountain gate from afar, he knew that the overall situation in the Heavenly King Palace had been decided.

How is it so fast? Is the thief too weak or ...... Also, what is that burst just now? Thunder?

With these kinds of questions, Jueyuan killed the thief leader Chen Hai with one blow, and after avenging the presiding master, he hurried to the Heavenly King Palace...... Then, he was shocked by the tragic death of the thief in the main hall.

Jueyuan stepped forward and turned over the body of a thief, but saw that there were more than a dozen holes on half of the thief's body, the same size, and the blood soaked all over the body, although it had been coagulated, but you could imagine the pain when it was injured.

Looking at the other thief, the whole face was bloody and blurred, the bridge of the nose seemed to have been pierced by a hard object, and the surrounding area was full of dense small eyes, like honeycombs...... What kind of weapon can cause such trauma?

Jueyuan subconsciously looked at the long and short iron pipes in the hands of these people, could it be......

Zhao Lie saw Jueyuan looking over and patted his forehead: "Oh, by the way, there is also a monk." ”

Jueyuan stood up and said: "All the heroes are righteous, kill all the thieves, and avenge the host of our temple, uncle, and brother, and the little monk is grateful." The presiding officer once said that money is the source of calamity, and the catastrophe of Yongji Temple is the fulfillment of this saying. The little monk is the culprit today, his wish has been fulfilled, the killing ring can be broken, and the greed and anger should not rise. Xie Yishi gifted, and the little monk did not dare to take a baht in vain. ”

"If a monk has this cultivation, he will become a great virtue in the future." Zhao Lie gave a thumbs up to Jueyuan. It is really remarkable to be able to remain clear in front of this dazzling treasure at a young age, unmoved, or even refuse.

This is the treasure of Chen Yi, the Chaoyang giant, he will come to extract it at any time, the place of right and wrong cannot stay for a long time, he must leave early tomorrow morning, and he will be busy tonight.

The treasure was not a problem, and the thieves left behind several mules and more than a dozen carts and wheelbarrows, which were enough to transport all the treasures. However, this makes manpower very tight.

Zhao Lie's eyes rolled, and he hit Jueyuan with his idea, this monk is strong and strong, but he is a good laborer. In addition, the death of Bao Si puts a difficult problem in front of him - without a guide, how to go forward?

"Jueyuan......" Zhao Lie looked up, and Jueyuan was walking outside the hall.

Zhao Lie motioned to Ma Nanchun, Shi Yang, and Wang Ping'an to carry the treasures out, and the Ding family sisters and brothers cleaned up the battlefield (picking up bullet shells, searching for thieves' weapons, floating wealth, etc.). Then he hurried to catch up and greeted: "Is the monk familiar with this mountainous area?" ”

Jueyuan turned around and bowed his head: "Although the little monk is not from the eastern part of Guangdong, he has been a monk in the temple for seven years, and often follows his uncle, uncle, and brother down the mountain to make a fate, and he has also traveled hundreds of miles in a radius, and he knows the surrounding situation well. I don't know if there is anything that can help the righteous. ”

Zhao Liexi smiled: "Yes, it's too big - I need a guide to take us out of the mountain and to the dock." ”

Jueyuan shook his head: "The little monk can't travel far, so it's hard to obey his fate." ”

Zhao Lie shook his head: "It's very inappropriate, the monk should know that the thief Kou Chen Yi will definitely come here, and then he will find that people are dead and his wealth is empty...... Monk, do you want to achieve bliss with your brothers? ”

Jueyuan proclaimed the Buddha's name, shook his head and said: "The little monk still has a mission on his shoulders, so he can't give up this skin." ”

Zhao Lie's eyes were different: "In this case, why not do it?" ”

Jueyuan pondered for a while, his expression was resolute, and he seemed to have made up some kind of determination: "If Zhao Yishi can agree to the little monk, the little monk is willing to be the leader." ”

Zhao Lie was very happy: "Okay!" ”

Jueyuan immediately led Zhao Lie to the meditation room in the backyard, and when he came to the abbot's room, he pushed open the door, moved the bed away, and then pried up a brick on the ground, kicked the gap, and pushed hard.

The brick slabs slid open, revealing a dark basement, and the raised oil lamps illuminated the frightened, dirty little faces......
