Zhen Sibao nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You come with me." Then he stood up and walked out the door.

Shen Qinglong started to keep up.

The two walked through the Qianzhai and came to the east of the Zhongzhai through a winding path, and a row of tall stone houses came into view.

The east and west direction of the house, the walls are all made of two-foot square cyan granite blocks, and there is a watchtower about three zhang high at each end, and in the center is a black arched stone door, on which hangs a huge bronze lock with a peculiar shape.

There are several secret sentinels on the periphery of the stone house, and there are twenty or thirty minions guarding in turn in front of the house, which surrounds the stone house.

Shen Qinglong knew that this was Zhen Si's warehouse, and all the treasures that were robbed were stored here.

When the guards saw Zhen Si coming over with Shen Qinglong, they hurriedly bowed and saluted: "What do you have to say?" ”

Zhen Si waved his hand in response, and then walked straight to the arch of the house, followed by a group of minions.

Shen Qinglong looked at the copper lock on the door, and saw that there was already a little mottled green on it, which was patina, so he smiled and said, "Big brother, it's time to change your Nine Palace locks." ”

Zhen Si took out a black iron key from his waist, and replied without looking back: "This Nine Palace lock is made by Lu Yangzi, and I have no friendship with him, and I only got it by chance back then." Now if you want to find another one, how easy is it! ”

Shen Qinglong nodded and said, "I heard that this Lu Yangzi has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for many years. ”

There is a miniature nine-palace maze arranged in this nine-palace lock, which is cumbersome and complicated, if there is no key, it is impossible to unlock the lock by technology alone.

When Lu Yangzi made this lock, he once let out a wild word, whoever can unlock this lock will be given a hundred taels of gold. Countless self-proclaimed skilled thief locksmiths have arrived, and they have all returned. Later, this incident also attracted the "first thief in the world" Yuankong, after Yuankong solved it for three days and three nights, he sighed: "I can't imagine that there is really a lock in the world that my Yuankong can't open!" "Leave abruptly.

As a result, the Nine Palace Lock became famous all over the world.

So even if this lock is rusty for a long time, Zhen Si is still reluctant to replace it.

Zhen Si used the key to turn the lock cylinder a few times, and the Jiugong lock opened with a "click", and a dark hole popped out of the stone door. Zhen Si put his hand into the dark hole, and after a while, the stone door slowly opened.

Zhen Si walked into the stone gate and turned his head, and the minions behind him were already lined up in two rows and waiting for them. He shouted in a deep voice: "Pay attention to strengthen vigilance! Then he took Shen Qinglong into the house, pressed it on the wall casually, and the stone door slowly closed again.

Zhen Si turned on the fire fold and lit a row of oil lamps on the wall. The interior of the stone house is a corridor against the south wall, on the north side of the corridor is a row of seven single rooms, and on the west side is the vault, the silver vault, and the money vault. In the middle is a rest room with a few chairs and a screen on the north wall. On the east side is the antique calligraphy and painting warehouse, the jewelry warehouse and the silk spice warehouse. Each room contains a variety of looted gold and silver items.

If these things were placed outside, they would be enough to cause a bloody storm, but Zhen Si and Shen Qinglong were unmoved, because they knew that compared to the earth-pouring wealth of the Eight Kings, these were just a drizzle.

Zhen Si walked into the rest room, came to the screen on the north wall, and stretched out his hand to push the screen open.

"Big brother, here."

Shen Qinglong lightly pressed the stone wall, a stone brick bounced up, and then the secret doors on the wall slowly opened to both sides.

"After all these years, your memory is still better than mine." Zhen Si smiled and immediately walked into the stone wall.

Inside the stone wall is a secret room, and in front of the secret room is a shrine, in which stands a serene Taoist Lao Tzu.

Zhen Si turned the shrine, and a hole was revealed underneath, and he took out a mahogany box from it, and after opening it, a secret letter came into view.

"This is the treasure map." Zhen Si took out a thin cowhide from the secret letter and handed it to Shen Qinglong.

Probably because of the age, the cowhide is slightly wrinkled around the perimeter, and some unknown routes are drawn on the front, and a red cross mark is somewhere.

Shen Qinglong looked at it for a while, rubbed it a few more times, and then handed the treasure map to Zhen Si.

"Second brother, how is it?" Zhen Si put the treasure map back away and asked.

Shen Qinglong touched his chin and nodded, "Big brother, you set a time and place, and I'll go back and arrange it now." ”

"My people are already eyeing him, don't worry about it now, I'll send someone to inform you when the time comes!"

There was a hint of a smile on Zhen Si's vicious face, but it just looked a little chilling.

……

The backyard of the Shen family.

Shen Qinglong and Han Changzhong sat down in the main and guest seats.

Han Changzhong's face was a little ugly, he shook his head and sighed: "Master, why don't you listen to me?" ”

A trace of hesitation flashed on Shen Qinglong's face, but it quickly disappeared without a trace, and only endless desire remained in his eyes.

"Changzhong, that's the treasure of the Eight Kings! As long as we can obtain this treasure, we don't have to huddle in Qiantang, a small place, at that time, I want to let the Cao Gang power spread all over the world! ”

Shen Qinglong turned his head and looked at him with longing: "At that time, the Cao Gang will become the number one gang in the rivers and lakes!" ”

Han Changzhong was unmoved, and looked at it coldly: "The treasure of the Eight Kings is just a legend. And all the heroes in the rivers and lakes have coveted it for a long time, even if we really found the treasure, it is also dangerous and unpredictable! ”

Shen Qinglong gritted his teeth and said: "I, Shen Qinglong, have worked hard to run the Cao Gang for sixteen years, and I have been looking up to people everywhere, and now I have such an excellent opportunity to grow, and it is worth fighting once!" ”

"Master, don't you know that the stakes are related, and how much benefit there is, how much harm there is! Besides, now Yu Huawen is staring at you, in case of miscalculation, I'm afraid that Qiantang will no longer have a foothold for us! Han Changzhong still persuaded hard.

Shen Qinglong shook his head, "Don't worry, I have discussed with my eldest brother, and only thirty brothers who went to the hall will be sent to Shuizhai to act together, even if Yu Huawen checks, he can't find me!" ”

Han Changzhong was about to speak again, but he saw Shen Qinglong waving his hand, and said in a firm tone: "Okay, Changzhong, I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade again, at most I will lose these thirty brothers, and I, Shen Qinglong, will have time to cultivate another batch!" ”

Han Changzhong sighed and said no more.

……

In the county office, a government official in civilian clothes was saying something to Yu Huawen.

"Oh? You said that Shen Qinglong went out at three o'clock this morning and didn't come back until Shen Shi? Yu Huawen's eyes flashed.

"Yes, Lord County Commander, Shen Qinglong was wrapped in a black cloth and wearing a cloak at that time, the villain didn't recognize it at first, but he just felt that this person was a little sneaky, so he sent someone to follow him."

"According to what his subordinates said when they came back, Shen Qinglong secretly went to the dock in a carriage alone, got on a wooden boat, and rowed to the southwest of the river."

Yu Huawen, Lin He, and Qin Hanyu looked at each other.

"Lord Qin, what do you think about this?" Yu Huawen asked Qin Hanyu who was standing on the side first.

Qin Hanyu pondered for a moment, swept his eyebrows lightly, and said: "It's three o'clock, the sky is not yet bright, and he is dressed so sneakily, Shen Qinglong must have gone to some secret place to meet with someone in such a hurry." ”

"Since it was rowing to the southwest by boat, Shen Qinglong was most likely going to ......"

"Water Village!"

Qin Hanyu raised his head, and his eyes flashed.
