Chapter 121: The Cellar
Liu Feiyan brushed the hair in front of his forehead, calmed down and said: "Go and search the treasury of ten thousand families, like this kind of merchant's house, there must be more than one warehouse, and you should pay attention to the cellar, where there will also be some jewelry, gold and silver." ”
Although Su Yi has rich experience in robbery, Liu Feiyan is from a large family after all, and she has rich experience in the concealment of materials by these chambers of commerce.
It's like raiding a house......
There are a lot of calligraphy and paintings and classics hanging in the president's study, and the reckless Gao Heihu saw that there was nothing valuable, so he was about to tear up all these calligraphy and paintings in a fit of anger, but fortunately, Mu Xiaoxin and Liu Feiyan arrived in time and put away the calligraphy and paintings, which were more valuable than jewelry.
The courtyard of the old lady of the Wan family is also magnificent, all kinds of rare and exotic stones are piled up in the pond, there are countless antique pearls and jades, and the small courtyard of the other concubines is also splendid, what jewelry, jade, calligraphy and painting are piled up all over the house, and the courtyard is full of agate stones, and there is even a courtyard of the concubine's room, a fake tree made of high-quality jade is built, and the high black tiger and others are surprised.
At this time, a girl brought by Liu Feiyan ran over with a scream, "Sister Feiyan, we have found the cellar!" ”
Su Yi and Mu Xiaoxin glanced at each other, and hurriedly ran over, Liu Feiyan looked at their backs, the corners of his mouth curved an arc, sneered, and glanced at a subordinate, who nodded knowingly, and left in a hurry.
Mu Xiaoxin squatted at the mouth of the cellar, pouting her buttocks, kneeling on the ground with a pair of long legs, Su Yi stood behind her and swallowed her saliva inadvertently.
"It's pitch black!" Mu Xiaoxin frowned and said, and when she looked back at Su Yi, she saw him standing in place in a daze, with a pair of eyes staring at his legs with malicious intentions.
"I mean, you don't want to see what's hidden in this cellar?"
Su Yi said with a smile: "We have searched the warehouse, all of them are some gold, silver and jewelry, as well as thousands of piled goods, rice and grain, but we have not found any weapons and armor, the things in this cellar, if I guess correctly, most of them are these." ”
Mu Xiaoxin smiled slightly, didn't answer, and shouted to the entourage behind her: "Light a torch!" ”
The attendant hurriedly lit a torch and handed it to Mu Xiaoxin.
Mu Xiaoxin poked into the cellar with a torch, and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God! ”
"What's wrong?" Su Yi stood behind her and was startled, and said angrily, "What are you calling blindly? Are there weapons and armor in it? ”
Mu Xiaoxin raised the torch up, handed it to Su Yi and said, "Come and see." ”
Su Yi took the torch suspiciously, lay down at the mouth of the cellar and looked at it for a long time: "There won't be any hidden weapons in it, right?" ”
"Why!" Mu Xiaoxin didn't have a good airway.
"I can't see anything!" Su Yi leaned into the cellar halfway, and his voice actually had some echoes.
Mu Xiaoxin sat on the side, looked at Su Yi's appearance, and said impatiently: "Can you do it?" If it doesn't work, let one of your subordinates go down! ”
"Okay?" Su Yi said angrily: "I can't do it...... Why don't you try it yourself? ”
Mu Xiaoxin didn't hear Su Yi's meaning, and snorted coldly: "There are so many problems!" He casually took the torch handed by Su Yi and said, "When your people take care of the affairs of the warehouse, we will go down together, and I will take a look at this cellar, how can you not see clearly......
Mu Xiaoxin pouted her buttocks again, knelt on the ground with her legs, and leaned half of her body in, Su Yi quietly walked behind her and kicked at the still plump buttocks.
"Ahh Mu Xiaoxin was caught off guard and was kicked into the cellar by Su Yi.
"Hahaha!" Su Yi watched Mu Xiaoxin roll in embarrassed, laughed, and Mu Xiaoxin's coquettish sound was also heard in the cellar, Liu Feiyan stood aside from afar, looking at them coldly.
The Great Chu Dynasty strictly ordered that weapons and armor should not be smuggled in various places, not only that, but some famous blacksmiths among the people were requisitioned by the imperial court, whether they were local tyrants or high-ranking officials who held great power, as long as a large number of weapons and armor were found in their homes, they would be punished as treason.
It's just that it's one thing for the court to have an order, and it's another thing whether to implement it below.
In Youzhou and Liaodong, almost some powerful places will store some weapons such as Pu knives, and very few weapons such as horse chopping knives, ghost head broadswords and skulls, as long as no one reveals them, the local government will also turn a blind eye and will not take the initiative to search.
Some officials even proposed to prohibit the use of iron tools by the people, but this proposal did not correspond to the actual situation, and was quickly rejected by the two major groups of Huang Wenbing and Pei Wen, which frustrated Emperor Chu's plan to ban the private possession of iron ingots.
Standing at the mouth of the cellar, hearing Mu Xiaoxin let out a few exclamations from the cellar from time to time, Su Yi's heart sank, thinking that these thousands of families wouldn't be all materials like iron ingots, right? If that's the case, it's not easy to take these things out.
After Gao Heihu arrived with his men and horses, Su Yi ordered Gao Heihu to guard the entrance of the cellar, and he jumped into the cellar with more than a dozen wrestlers.
The dark cellar was lit with torches, and it was as if it were daylight.
Let Gao Heihu guard the entrance of the cellar just in case, there is only one exit from this cellar, if it is blocked, then he and Mu Xiaoxin will be sealed in the cellar.
When Su Yi and the others saw the things hidden in the cellar, they all dropped their jaws in shock, among them were five heavy machine crossbows, and there was a catapult, and there was a drawing next to the catapult, it seemed that this catapult was a sample.
"Huh!" Mu Xiaoxin sneered: "I've heard someone say before that Wanjia once sold a waterwheel to the Hu people, and I still wondered, the water source outside the plug is scarce, what do the Hu people want the waterwheel for?" Now it seems that these 10,000 families are selling catapults and heavy machine crossbows to the Hu people at a high price in the name of selling water wheels. ”
Su Yi said lightly: "These heavy crossbows and catapults are too heavy, and we can't take them away, but since we have found these, we can't escape the charge of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country." ”
Mu Xiaoxin was stunned: "These alone can cure the old man's sins?" ”
Su Yi said: "This heavy machine crossbow and catapult are only available to the military, no matter where Wan got these things, and whether he sold them to bandits or Saiwaihu people, it is a crime to kill the head, even if it is the Mi family, don't want to keep this old thing this time." ”
Mu Xiaoxin walked to the catapult, took a closer look, and was amazed, and then she carried her hands behind her back, slowly paced to the side of a few piles of materials, and sighed: "This family is really a big family, and there are so many things in just one Liaodong branch." ”
Su Yi also took the wrestlers to search in the cellar, but except for those heavy crossbows and catapults, he didn't see any other weapons and armor, which made him slightly disappointed.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxin shouted to Su Yi: "Master Han, come and take a look!" ”
Su Yi hurriedly walked over, Mu Xiaoxin pointed to the locomotive's cart wrapped in dry cloth, and lifted one of the cloths at random, and there were many herbs on it.
