Chapter 25: The goose plucks its feathers
Another passage of the vault, leading to the coast. There is a huge cave where three cargo ships of more than 1,200 tons each are moored. If Ye Tan expected it to be true, those gold and silver treasures were sent to the secret vault from here.
Without much thought, Ye Tan put the cargo ship into the space. After thinking about it, Ye Tan felt that it was better to leave a little memorial for the people behind him!
Climbing up the mountain from the cliff on the shore, on the side of Hongzitang, there was already a roar of gunfire, which was very intense.
The dense explosion sounded that even Ye Tan felt the ground shake when he stood so far away.
Suddenly thinking of Su Sanniang, Ye Tan sighed softly, and returned to the dark passage along the cliff. Ten minutes later, Ye Tan appeared at the bottom of the Hongzi Hall.
Violent vibrations came down from above.
Countless stone dust and gravel fell into the dark tunnel.
From this point of view, the American navy has launched an attack on Hongzitang.
After a look of the see-through eye, Ye Tan finally found Su Sanniang who had passed out on the next floor.
Shaking his head, Ye Tan was in a conflicted mood and walked down quickly.
Ye Tan kept warning himself that his face was in trouble. You can't let your lower body dominate your upper body. But when I thought of Su Sanniang, the eyes overflowing with the lake water, and the smart aura were all in one, I had a special impulse, and my mind gave up resistance.
Holding the unconscious Su Sanniang, he entered the cave in the purple pupil space. Ye Tan took out the spiritual spring, first cleaned the wound, then fed her a small mouthful, placed some fruits, and came out of the space.
Suddenly, Ye Tan discovered the traces of the rumored elite gunman.
Carrying torches and led by a mole, they cautiously entered the tunnel.
"Huh? These noble-bred gunners are quite fat. He was carrying a leather bag with so many gold coins, silver coins, and title deeds. ”
The perspective eye brought benefits to Ye Tan again.
In fact, Ye Tan also figured it out in an instant.
Now there are at least 50 banks and factories that have failed every day in the whole of the United States, especially in the past 3 months.
Coupled with the end of the first phase of the gold rush in San Francisco, it is precisely because of this that a large number of unemployed Chinese workers began to choose to transform again and join the ranks of building railroads.
This situation will not become clear until June.
However, with the emergence of Ye Tan, this situation has been reversed. A large number of Chinese laborers were hired by Ye Tan.
The panic of the economic depression, now almost no one dares to put their own funds in the bank. Even at home, it was patronized by a large number of unidentified robbers.
Therefore, it makes sense for these elite gunners to carry valuable things with them. Of course, there is also the guarantee given by the employer that once he dies, the property on his body will be returned together.
The goose passed the plucked Ye Tan, and his heart was moved in an instant.
On the other side, the people of the Three Skimming Society also began to enter the dark passage through other entrances.
The next moment, the mechanism was linked, and a sound of collapse came into Ye Tan's ears, and about 16 gunmen fell into the trap.
"Lorde. Young Lord Isa, be careful! There's a lot of mechanics in there. ”
An old man in his 50s with deep eyes and a hawk's nose stopped in front of Issa and said nervously and fearfully.
"Kerf, thank you!" Issa thanked him gratefully, turned his head to the people behind him, and said, "I, Issa, am here, and I swear in the name of the Lord family, and I promise that after finding the treasure house, everyone can divide the gold and silver treasures in it equally." So, I hope you all be brave and work together to find the treasure house together. ”
One percent of the gold and silver treasures are enough to make everyone crazy, even if their lives are in danger, they subconsciously ignore them.
Suddenly, someone raised his hand and said loudly: "Young Master Isa, I have a way!" It's better to take a cedar tree, tie an 80-pound stone, and everyone push it together, and those hidden traps will be triggered. We're in the back, so it's safe. ”
Working together, it really took quick effect, Issa smiled very excitedly and said, "Kak, your method is good!" When everyone dividends, I will call the shots and give you one more. ”
Kak, who was slanted through his entire face by a scar, was so excited that his voice trembled, and he said hoarsely: "Thank you, young master, for the reward!" Thank you! ”
Soon, a 10-meter fir tree was sent in. Together with a boulder of more than 80 catties, it was also carried in, and by the way, there were two logs with a diameter of 60 cm, which were used as rollers.
A few minutes later, seven or eight people struggled to push the wood and stone.
Just launched less than a meter, only to see countless bows and arrows, from the wall "sneer... The burst came out, densely packed, and it was creepy to watch.
Everyone wiped their sweat with palpitations, and began to feel that Kak's method was worth an extra bounty.
Suddenly, from the top of the head, more than 20 basin wasp nests fell.
Due to the bad light, everyone thought it was a hidden weapon and shot one after another.
Suddenly, the attacked wasps, in groups, flew out of the hive in a swarm. The black wasps are almost the size of a thumb.
All of a sudden, there were bursts of screams in the dark tunnel. Everyone tried to run away in fear, but was quickly swallowed up by the mechanism.
Some gunmen with torches in their hands scrambled to wave their torches to drive away the wasps that tried to attack.
It's just that there are so many wasps that it's within reach. In the blink of an eye, there were sting marks the size of copper coins on their faces, necks, and hands.
Ye Tan in the shadows suddenly felt that it was not a way to go on like this. Without three or two days, they won't run out at all. After thinking about it, he simply entered the control room of the organ.
Five or six minutes later. Issa, along with 13 of his henchmen, rose from the ground.
Just now, they reacted the fastest, 13 people protected Issa, instantly made a movement to lie on the ground, and held the back of their necks with both hands to achieve the effect of protection.
Soon, Issa and the others noticed that the gunslinger who had been stung by the wasp was slowly losing his breath until he died.
According to rough estimates, 63 gunmen were stung to death by wasps this time, and 78 were injured, of which 9 were seriously injured. In addition, 32 people were killed in traps in the process of escaping, and suffered heavy losses.
Issa looked at the dejected gunmen with a blank face, and shouted: "Midov, let's go!" ”
After saying that, Issa took the lead.
Strangely, Issa walked more than 30 meters and was still safe. This made those people behind mistakenly think that the mechanism was almost destroyed. One by one, the gunners began to become relaxed again.
After walking a distance of 300 meters, Issa sat down on the ground, sweating profusely.
"Young Lord Isa, you are the one whom God favors."
After Obo finished praying, he looked at Issa and said.
"It's my turn!"
After Ye Tan finished speaking, the place where Issa was sitting instantly collapsed a large area, like an elevator, and sank rapidly. Then, only a desperate scream was heard, echoing in the tunnel.
The gunman next to him suddenly woke up in fear, went crazy, and desperately escaped along the dark passage. In an instant, they were squeezed into groups of sardines, and Ye Tan activated the mechanism, and a round of stone rain, arrow rain, and rolling stones buried them in the dark passage.
All of a sudden, the entire dark passage turned into a bloody hell.
"Isn't that cruel?" Ye Tan said to himself lightly, "They are horse bandits, robbers, bandits, and murderers, and I am doing harm to the people." ”
"Gold and silver coins, I'm here Ye Tan!"
Ye Tan said happily with a mouthpiece.
He quickly untied the gunman's purse, glanced at the gold, silver and title deeds inside, and put it into the space. There are also rifles and bullets, as well as valuable rings, gold watches, necklaces...
In short, none of the things that Ye Tan thought were valuable could escape his poisonous hands.
Half an hour later, Ye Tan came out of the secret passage. The gunfire has stopped. The Navy has leveled the Hongzitang. Looking for the entrance to the dark passage.
Ye Tan glanced at the back mountain in the northeast, where more than 800 people from the Sanxuan Society were lying in ambush. Among them, part of the secret passage, Ye Tan estimated that their fate was no different from that of the gunner.
By the sea, a cargo ship, seized there by the Navy. More than 1,000 people were huddled in a pile in fear, shivering.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to Jebkuta myself and ransom you back."
Ye Tan whispered, plunged into the jungle quickly, and left Peacock Mountain.
