Chapter 326: Famous Earthquake Hedong
'Squeak! Then the door opened, and a sleepy-eyed bartender came out of the house, yawning and muttering, and went to the corner, where he did not notice that ten bolts were pointed at him in the courtyard, at the head of the wall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After only a few steps, the man saw the dead dog on the ground at a glance, and before he could bark, his mouth was covered from behind, and a bright dagger grazed his neck.
Blood spurted out of the man's neck, and he fell to the ground softly, Wang Gui waved his hand at the head of the wall, "Up!" ”
The soldiers rushed into the room, which was the bartender's quarters, and there were six people living in it, except for one of the people who had been killed on the door, and five others, and the soldiers rushed in, and for a moment there was no movement.
At this time, there was a fierce fight in the restaurant, and there was also a bartender and kitchen dormitory in the restaurant, and the ten soldiers who entered from the front obviously encountered them.
Wang Gui was a little anxious, because they were afraid of startling the snakes, they didn't go into the restaurant to investigate in advance, and they didn't know which room the shopkeeper and intelligence information were in.
At this moment, the lights of the westernmost room turned on, but then it was dark again, and Wang Gui immediately made a decision, rushed up and kicked open the door, and rushed in with a knife.
In the darkness, a big stick smashed the top of his head, Wang Guiyi dodged the sneak attack, flew up and kicked the opposite door, kicked the sneak attacker, and rushed in behind two soldiers to press him to the ground.
The lights were on, and there were all kinds of paperwork and ledgers in the room, and I saw a woman squatting in the corner and trembling with fright.
"Catch them all!"
At this time, Wang Gui didn't have the slightest idea of pity and cherishing jade, it is very likely that this woman is also an intelligence spy, specializing in stealing intelligence from beauties.
Two soldiers rushed forward and tied up the woman in the corner as well.
Wang Gui turned around and walked to the man at the door, he recognized this person at a glance, it was the shopkeeper of the restaurant, at this time the shopkeeper was facing down, tied to the ground behind his back, and only wearing a thin cloth shirt.
Wang Gui squatted in front of him, grabbed his head, and said coldly: "Do you still know me?" ”
The shopkeeper glared at Wang Gui viciously, but he didn't recognize Wang Gui, Wang Gui sneered and said, "I said, there are rats in the dish, I will be with you!" ”
The shopkeeper suddenly woke up, "It turned out to be you bastard!" He struggled to get up, but was held firmly by two soldiers.
At this time, the officer in charge of attacking the front yard walked quickly, hugged his fists and said: "The lowly duty has completed the task, capture three people alive and kill five people!" ”
"Are there any casualties among the brothers?"
"There were no casualties!"
"You take the two brothers to the county government and get a few ox carts." Wang Gui saw that the room was full of all kinds of papers, he was afraid of reading since he was a child, so he didn't bother to carefully identify them, he just wanted to take them all away in a bag.
"Obey the order!"
The detainee hurried away, and at this time, a soldier reminded Wang Gui in a low voice, "Dutou, you should search carefully, maybe there is a dark room." ”
Wang Gui suddenly realized that there should also be weapons, gold and silver hidden here, and he immediately walked out of the house and shouted to the soldiers in the courtyard: "Give me a thorough search, and you can't let go of every corner!" ”
More than a dozen soldiers rushed to all corners, but after searching for more than half an hour, they found nothing, which made Wang Gui very frustrated, at this time, a soldier ran to Wang Gui and whispered: "That woman seems to know something?" ”
Wang Gui perked up and turned to enter the house, only to see a woman tied up in a corner, and a soldier looking at her.
Wang Gui stepped forward and squatted down and asked, "What do you know?" ”
"I.... I know an authenticity. The woman sobbed.
"If you talk nonsense, be careful that I skin you!" The shopkeeper roared.
Wang Gui was furious in his heart, stepped forward and kicked the shopkeeper unconscious, and came back to ask the woman, "You go on!" ”
"I'm a prostitute in Baihualou, begging uncle..... Don't kill me. ”
"We won't kill you, we won't hurt you, as long as you confess honestly and identify you, we will let you go back."
The woman trembled and pointed to the other corner of the room and said, "Just now he opened a door over there and threw in a bunch of things on the table, and the switch seemed to be on the wall. ”
Wang Gui secretly scolded himself for being confused, if there was a secret room, of course it would be in the shopkeeper's room, he took two of his subordinates to the corner of the wall quickly, groped for a while, and there was indeed a two-foot-long and wide secret door on the wall.
As soon as Wang Gui turned around, he saw that a piece of wall skin on the wall next to him was peeling off, revealing a brick, which was obviously a little concave, it should have been in a hurry just now, and it was not sorted out, Wang Gui laughed, and pressed the brick into it hard, and the secret door on the wall slowly rose, revealing a big black hole.
One of them took a torch and looked in, and suddenly exclaimed, Wang Gui was anxious, dragged the soldier back, and looked in by himself, he was also so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, inside was an extremely large dark room, stacked with nearly 100 large boxes, all kinds of documents and materials on the iron shelves against the wall, and there was a pile of documents at the door, which should have been put in just now.
Wang Gui retreated for a while and said to a soldier: "You go to the county government and tell Zhao that three ox carts are not enough, at least a dozen ox carts are needed.
.........
Wang Gui couldn't have imagined that the Sifang Restaurant he took the initiative to come to was actually the wealth of the Western Xia set up in Hedong, and the wealth collected by the Western Xia from all over the Great Song Dynasty through various means was temporarily concentrated here, and then transferred back to the Western Xia little by little.
Wang Gui did not find much valuable information, but he found a lot of wealth, including 300,000 taels of silver alone, as well as a large amount of gold, jewelry, and land deeds.
Before dawn, Wang Gui escorted more than 30 ox carts full of wealth to Taiyuan Mansion, in addition to he led 20 soldiers, there were hundreds of village soldiers to participate in the escort, as for the prostitute who told Wang Gui the secret, Wang Gui let her go before dawn, if she was Xixia Xizuo, killing her would not reveal this huge secret.
In the afternoon of the next day, after receiving the news, Li Yanqing personally led 40 cavalry to the west bank of Fenshui to welcome Wang Gui's return.
Wang Gui stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Commander Qiqi, this time we have seized a lot of wealth and successfully completed the task. ”
Li Yanqing patted Wang Gui on the shoulder and smiled: "I'll just say that you kid is a deputy general, and he always takes shit luck at critical times, and he has been like this since he was a child." ”
Wang Gui scratched his head, "It seems to be yes!" Usually I can't shoot arrows well, and I always shoot more accurately than anyone else at a critical moment. ”
"That's why your name is Wang Gui! There is a precious word, how bad can it be? ”
The two glanced at each other and laughed together, Wang Guimei patted the box with a smile and said, "It is full of white silver, I estimated that there are at least 300,000 taels of silver." ”
"No gold?"
"Of course, there is gold, and at the bottom, three boxes of gold, one box of jewelry, and dozens of land deeds, all of which are estates in the east of the river."
Li Yanqing's heart moved, are so many manors prepared by the Tangut people to hide soldiers? I have to communicate with the commander about this matter.
"Lao Li, why did you say that Xixia hid so many businesses in a restaurant, at least a silver shop should be opened!"
Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Originally, there was a silver shop in Shixian County, but when we went to arrest it, everyone and goods were empty, and nothing was caught, and I guess the property of the restaurant was moved from there." ”
"But why do you want to put it in Lishi County?" Wang Gui was still full of doubts.
"It's very simple, one is close to Xixia from Shixian County, and the other is that you can take the waterway, the small county town is not as attention-grabbing as Taiyuan Mansion, and it is not as strictly controlled as the frontier army, and the county gate does not even have a city guard, so it is safest to put it in a small county town."
"It's just that the Xixia people never dreamed that there was a king in the world!" Wang Gui said triumphantly.
"That's right, this is a mistake in Western Xia's decision-making."
As soon as Li Yanqing's words came out, the surrounding soldiers all laughed together......
Soon, the news of people from all walks of life pulling out the Western Xia intelligence points came one after another, and in just one night, twenty-three various Western Xia stores were swept away, and it was finally determined that nine stores were Western Xia intelligence points, three more than the six predicted before.
The news spread quickly, and quickly spread throughout the entire Northwest Army, which shocked the Northwest Army, and pulled out so many Western Xia intelligence points before the outbreak of the war, which was unheard of in many previous battles, and the prestige of the Intelligence Department and Li Yanqing also quickly spread throughout the Northwest Army, and everyone from top to bottom was talking about this newly established division and the young army director.
