Chapter 21: Windfall

The three of them returned to the barracks unknowingly and re-entered Ran Xiong's residence. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After a careful search, only more than 20 taels of silver were found. "Single brother, Ran Xiong lied that there was gold in order to save his life, and look at the shadow of gold." He Zhi complained. "If not, forget it, the two of you will divide the silver!" "Single brother, three one, three three, one for one person." years cut into opposition. "That's it, take away Ran Xiong's valuable things, don't be greedy for money, things must be destroyed, we have to fake the illusion that they have escaped. He Zhi, you sneak into Zhai Biao's room now, remember not to leave any traces! ”

The next morning, Li Jiakai received a report from the mine protection team, saying that Zhai Biao, the standard leader of Team B, was missing, and reported to Ran that Ran Xiong was also missing. At first, Li Jiakai didn't mind, but at noon, the news came back, and Li Jiakai was a little confused and ordered to find it. In the evening, a subordinate came down to report: "My lord, after searching, there is no trace of Ran Xiong and Zhai Biao. A search of the residence revealed no signs of theft, but money and valuables were missing. "Keep searching!" For 3 days in a row, the entire Zhaoyuan area was searched, and no trace was found.

That night, Li Jiakai called Yan Jiakang in front of him and asked, "Ran Xiong and Zhai Biao are missing, what do you think?" "Yan Jiakang has heard that the two are missing, and believes that it is 100% Shan Feng's doing, but he can't get in touch with Shan Feng, so as not to arouse suspicion." Father-in-law, although Ran Xiong harmed me, he was for your face and out of his heartfelt concern for the Li family, so I don't blame him. "Yan Jiayasu has already thought of a countermeasure. Li Jiakai observed Yan Jiakang's expression: "Do you think they were killed or ran away?" Father-in-law, son-in-law decided that Ran Xiong and Zhai Biao were absconding for fear of crime! "How so?"

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law has been rumored since he entered the mine protection team, and I heard that for a long time, Ran Xiongke has deducted the soldiers' salaries and silver, and not long ago the father-in-law inspected the drills of Team B, and rewarded the soldiers with one or two silver per person on the spot, but Ran Xiong only gave each person 20 big characters." "The water is so clear that there are no fish, I have long known about Ran Xiongke's deduction of soldiers, and this is not enough for him to abscond!" "Father-in-law, there is one more thing you don't know, it is said that he resold all the bullets in the arsenal, whether it is true or not will be known by checking. I joined the Li family and became Chenglong's fast son-in-law, because he was worried about the East Window incident. “

Li Jiakai said suspiciously: "I will investigate thoroughly, you go down!" Back in the room, Mo Xin said worriedly, Dad is looking for you to see if it is Ran Xiong's business, this kind of person is scum, and the world is very happy. Does Dad suspect that you did it, no, I'm going to find Daddy's theory? "Mo Xin, what am I afraid of, besides, it's normal for my father to be suspicious. Rest assured, the truth will soon be revealed! “

"Dad, it's not difficult for you, I'm relieved. Yunfei, I tried to play the song you sang on the execution ground! Mo Xin walked to the dulcimer and sat down, her fingers gently plucked the strings, and the beautiful melody sounded. Yan Jiakang listened carefully and had to admit that Mo Xin had musical cells. The sound of the piano stopped, and Mo Xin herself was intoxicated. "Mo Xin, it's very good, I'm teaching you a new song, the song is called "Find a good man and get married". Mo Xin pricked up her ears when she heard this. "I know that you and I have come so far, but we can't be forever. I know we love each other, but we're destined to break up?????。 ”

The next day, Yan Jiakang was summoned to the front of his father-in-law again, "After checking, half of the bullets in the warehouse were resold, and it can be determined that he absconded in fear of crime." I have reported to the government to arrest Ran Xiong and Zhai Biao. The mine protection team can't be left without an owner for a day, I asked privately that I didn't expect your reputation to be very high, from today onwards I will hand over the mine protection team to you, appoint you as the general manager, don't let me down. "Please rest assured, father-in-law, the son-in-law will never let you down!" Yan Jiakang was secretly happy when he heard this. "The prefect of Laizhou will return to his hometown, the mine protection team will be canceled, and the responsibilities of the mine protection team will remain the same in the future!"

Yan Jiakang entered the compound of the mine protection team and saw Shan Feng and others lingering in front of the door. Walking into the house, Yan Jiakang went straight to the door: "You did it!" "Yes, you must eradicate Ran Xiong, the scumbag, and put you in the position. I knew you couldn't do it, so I didn't tell you. "Is it clean?" "Rest assured that you won't be noticed. Everyone thinks that Ran Xiong offended you and ran away! "It has been verified that he resold bullets in the treasury without permission, absconded in fear of crime, and the government has issued a proclamation to arrest and prosecute him, and it has nothing to do with me!" "I thought you could clean up the aftermath, but before this guy died, in order to save his life, he lied that he had gold, and the damn made me happy in vain."

Speaking without intention, the listener has a heart. "What was the situation?" Shan Feng recounted the experience. Yan Jiakang said decisively: "Ran Xiong won't lie in order to save his life, have you searched his house carefully?" "I searched carefully, but I found nothing!" "In that robbery back then, Ran Xiong was the most suspicious. It is no accident that gold is taken out in order to save his life. "But there is no gold in his dwelling, and if there is, he can only hide it outside, and there is no way to find it." "There is a saying that it is dark under the lamp, and it is impossible for a large amount of gold to be placed somewhere else?" "You mean that if there is gold, it must be in his house?"

The two immediately came to Ran Xiong's residence, and since Ran Xiong was an absconding criminal, a seal had been affixed to the door. Tear open the seal and open the lock, and the two enter the room. The main house is the living room, and in the middle is the incense table, and there is an incense burner Buddha shrine on the incense platform. A portrait of Guan Yu hangs on the shrine. The east side room is the bedroom, and the west side room is stacked with miscellaneous items. Upon closer inspection, there were no suspicious traces. Shan Feng said deflatedly: "It's all because He Zhi shot too fast, and Ran Xiong took the secret away." Even if he had gold, he wouldn't hide it in the house! The floor of the living room is inlaid with stone slabs, and Yan Jiakang walked to the front of the Buddhist shrine to check.

"Does Ran Xiong believe in Buddhism?" "I don't usually see him worship gods and ghosts, and the Buddha shrine and incense burner are placed in the hall, is it forgiveness?" Yan Jiakang looked at Guan Yu's portrait and felt that there must be something wrong with the Buddha shrine. Subconsciously knocking on the ground is very solid, and there is no echo of emptiness. The shrine is a place of worship, and the ash in the incense burner is normal. Reaching out and touching the Buddha statue inside, he found that the Buddha statue was fixed. Trying to rotate the Buddha statue suddenly moved to the right, only to hear a loud bang, the incense case retreated into the wall, and an underground dark room appeared. "Sure enough, there is a mechanism, what you said is not wrong, Ran Xiong is the culprit of the gold robbery!"

"It turns out that the secret is here, I didn't expect it." Singlet surprise. Yan Jiakang found an oil lamp hanging on one side, lit the oil lamp and walked down the stairs. In the middle of the chamber is a purple wooden case with glittering gold bars stacked in the shape of a tower. "Sure enough, there is gold, no wonder Ran Xiong is alone, it turns out that he is guarding the treasure to live." Yan Jiakang did a cursory check, and there were about 300 gold bars! Yan Jiakang picked up a gold bar and examined it: "The gold bar has a minting date on it, so Ran Xiong can only dream of guarding the gold bar, hoping to wash the gold one day!" ”

"Brother Ge, I don't understand, Ran Xiongwei is not new to melt and hide people's eyes!" "Is he afraid of leaking secrets, and dare to be a thief?" "Makes sense!" "He doesn't dare us, this gold is our secret funding. You transfer the gold to Wang Kun's Four Seas Dart Bureau, and ask him to find a goldsmith in the field to melt the gold bars and recast them. From now on, this amount of gold will be limited to the three of us. "Understood, I'll do it right away." Starting today, you move into this room, and this underground chamber can be used! "Brother Ge, are Zhai Biao's henchmen counted?" Shan Feng made a killing gesture.

"As long as they are loyal to me, there is no need to kill them all, and they can only serve the people if they have the strength." On the same day, Yan Jiakang mixed Team A and Team B into three teams, with Shan Feng serving as the standard commander and concurrently serving as the captain of the first squad, He Zhi as the captain of the second squad, and Nian Cheng as the captain of the third squad. At the same time, it was announced that in the future, military discipline and military regulations will no longer be punished, and soldiers who violate military regulations will be confined for minor cases and deducted for serious cases. Those involved in crimes, such as robbery and theft, will be executed.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qiu Ying came to the door with a murderous face. In the field, Yan Jiakang dismounted, faced Qiu Ying's angry expression and muzzle, and said, "Miss Qiu Ying, we have no fate. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. You say that I climb high branches, or that I love vanity. Miss Li and I are already married, if you hate me, shoot me! I have no regrets about dying at the mouth of your gun! "Ge Yunfei, I didn't expect you to be a lord who hates the poor and loves the rich, and this girl looks down on you. I'm dirty when I beat you. I'm here today to give me an explanation? "Miss Qiuying, you are a simple, kind, and persistent woman, but we are destined to have no fate, if you want we will become good friends!" "Sweet words, don't think about it, Ge Yunfei, listen, I hate you!"

Qiu Ying shook the reins and galloped, aggrieved tears flowed down her cheeks, and the maid Qiu Hua hurriedly chased after her when she saw this. Suddenly, Qiu Ying fell off her horse, and Yan Jiakang hurriedly got on his horse to check. When I came to the place where I fell off the horse, I saw Qiu Hua helping Qiu Ying up. "Miss Qiuying, are you okay?" Get out of here, I don't want to see you again! "Miss Qiuying, I'm sorry. If you can use it in the future, please speak and help you. After Yan Jiakang left, Qiu Hua comforted: "Miss, Ge Gongzi may have something unspeakable. Just now, he didn't dodge when you pointed your gun at him, which means that he has a crush on you. ”

"Miss, Ge Gongzi is both talented and good-looking, he is a person who does great things, he and Miss Li are a natural pair, you will die!" Qiu Ying heard that she was lying on Qiu Hua's shoulder and cried bitterly. Soon, Wang Kun appeared on horseback, and Qiu Ying followed Wang Kun to the Zhaoyuan Four Seas Dart Bureau. The cousin comforted her and said, "Cousin, my sister is from here, and she understands the affairs of men and women. Listen to your brother-in-law say that Gongzi Ge is not an idle person, and he will make great achievements in the future. The strength of the Li family can help him, and it is understandable for him to do so. Besides, there is no marriage contract between you, and Ge Gongzi is not at fault. ”

"Cousin, don't look at him young, Ge Gongzi has a big heart. I heard that he is fluent in foreign and has extraordinary knowledge. Your cousin is right, Ge Gongzi has no background, if he wants to make a big difference, he must have a backer, and the Li family is his backer. There is a good saying, the bird knows the ambition of the bird! "What do you mean?" "Cousin, you will know the meaning of this sentence in the future!" Qiu Ying calmed down, and tears flowed out again. Wang Kun walked into another room, and Shan Feng asked, "Is your cousin better?" "It's a lot more stable, the demons in my heart need time, but with my understanding of Qiu Ying, I won't untie the knot for a while."

"As long as she doesn't pester Brother Ge, senior brother, I'll let you see it!" Shan Feng opened the box, "Gold bars, where did so many gold bars come from!" Wang Kun was surprised. I still remember that you once said that the gold robbery back then was suspected to be committed by Ran Xiong, and the ironclad evidence is that he did it! "So you killed Ran Xiong?" "If this person is not removed, it will be a scourge to Brother Ge sooner or later. Brother Ge commanded that the gold should be kept with you for our expenses. Brother Ge asked you to find a goldsmith in a foreign country, and the gold bars were melted down and minted from the beginning. "Please tell Brother Ge, there is no problem."

"Brother Ge commanded, 50 gold bars are at your disposal?" "Who does Brother Ge think of me, don't you trust me?" Wang Kun's face was red and his ears were red. "Where do you want to go, listen to me, what Brother Ge means is that now that the Shandong Peninsula is open, the business of the dart game will get better and better, and he will let you take the opportunity to recruit more people. In addition, it allows you to buy guns and ammunition, which is safer to bet on darts in the future. "Brother Ge thought it through, I'll do it!" After Shan Feng left, Wang Kun couldn't suppress the boiling secret in his heart: Brother Ge regards treasure as dung, and he will inevitably be a prince in the future, and only those who have achieved great things can be so generous.
