Seeing the layers of densely packed corpses with his own eyes, Wu Kai couldn't help but smack his tongue a little - at first glance, it really feels like a Hollywood zombie movie. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is a study in the backyard of the Zhu family, and the location of the corpse is behind the bookshelf on the west wall, at the entrance to a secret passage that is very hidden.

Judging by their hideous expressions and the scratches on their throats, eighty percent of them inhaled toxic gases, which caused respiratory problems, and finally suffocated to death.

However, the effect of this poisonous gas should not be very violent, because it can be seen that these people have been struggling in pain for a long time, and they are trying to concentrate their strength to open the stone wall at the entrance of the secret passage.

It's a pity that they still failed in the end, and dozens of people died at the entrance of this secret passage like arhats.

However, when Cao Yang and the others found the corpse, the entrance to this secret passage was open - according to Wu Kai's guess, it was probably the little maid who opened the stone door, and as a result, the layers of corpses lost their support and directly 'pounced' out, which frightened her to the point of mental breakdown.

But why didn't this little girl stay inside, but stayed outside alone, and why didn't he release the person in time, this Wu Kai couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

In addition to the dozens of Arhats stacked at the door, there seemed to be many corpses in the secret passage, including men and women, servants in green clothes and small hats, and aunts with pearls and emerald heads—it seemed that all the people up and down the Zhu Mansion had died inside!

However, why these people were suffocated to death by poisonous gas in the secret passage, Wu Kai couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he could only wait for the poisonous gas in the secret passage to completely dissipate, and then send someone in to investigate.

It's a pity that there are no gas masks now, otherwise......

"Sir."

Wu Kai was groaning, and then he heard Hu Sanniang say timidly: "Let's get out of here first, it looks weird and scary." ”

Although she is not an ordinary weak woman, and she has seen some of the market, she is still frightened when she sees the layers of hideous faces.

Wu Kai nodded, motioned for her to help herself out of the study, glanced left and right, but didn't see Cao Yang's shadow, and couldn't help frowning: "What about Cao Yang?" ”

"Return to the Buddha."

Sun Lao Er arched his hand with a strange expression: "Cao Tou is going to be a compliment, and he should be ...... soon."

"Buddha! I'm here! ”

At this time, I saw Cao Yang rushing over, there was nothing on it, but there was a new pair of pants on the lower body.

Seeing this, Wu Kai immediately understood why Sun Laoer's expression was so strange, but he was not in the mood to make fun of Cao Yang now.

When Cao Yang ran closer, he ordered: "You take a few people to clean up the corpses at the entrance of the secret passage, and then find a few domestic animals, every other hour, put one in to try it, and once the poisonous gas inside is gone, go in and check it immediately!" ”

After giving the task to Cao Yang, Wu Kai prepared to go to the Zhu family's warehouse - before Cao Yang and the others, they found a huge amount of private salt in it, this thing was placed in ancient times, but it was a hard currency that was better than silver.

However, after walking a few steps, Wu Kai suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "By the way, you go and bring that Li Zhixian here." ”

Cao Yang's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hesitated for a while before he said in a trembling voice: "Buddha, do you let him in first, or let those domestic animals in first?" ”

"Nonsense!"

Wu Kai glared at him with tears and laughter, and scolded: "Are you stupid? If I really want to kill Li Datian, do I still need to bring him to Zhujiazhuang? I just asked him to see with his own eyes how these people died, and when he sent an official document to it, it would be easier to write it with emotion. ”

Cao Yang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates will do it!" ”

After separating from Cao Yang, Wu Kai, with the support of Hu Sanniang, rushed to the private salt warehouse while pondering the aftermath.

This time, in the name of cooperating with the county government to chase down and kill the thieves, the militia captured this Zhujiazhuang, which can be regarded as justifiable - after all, it was the Zhu family who first colluded with the thieves and gathered the crowd to attack Yanggu City.

If they win, they may be able to cover up the past, but now that the Zhu family is defeated, the hat of this thief will be firmly fastened on their heads.

But this Zhujiazhuang is not in Yanggu after all, but belongs to Dongping Mansion, if it is more serious, even if it is really done by Li Zhixian, it is also an ultra vires.

Even if the above is not held accountable, this Zhujiazhuang should be handed over to Fucheng to take over next-but if this is the case, what is Wu Kai's hard work for?

It seems that we must find a way to get in touch with the newly arrived Cheng Governor and Sun Dujian - even if you pay a big price, you must swallow the treasure land of Zhujiazhuang!

In the middle of a sigh, the group had already arrived at the salt storehouse.

From the outside, this place is just ordinary, but after entering, it is a different cave, the space alone is several times larger than the outside, and it is divided into two layers of structure.

The top is sacks and sacks, stacked all the way to the roof.

Below is simply a pool of loose salt, I can't see how much, but the conservative estimate is also above 100 tons!

Now this private salt is about 20 wen per catty, which is converted...... Well, a hundred tons of illicit salt is only about 3,000 tons.

After settling this account, Wu Kai was a little discouraged, and the militia soldiers who were protecting him were dumbfounded.

"My mother~ This ...... How long will I have to eat so much salt?! ”

"God, I've never seen so much salt in my life!"

"What is this?"

Hu Sanniang was listening, and couldn't help but sneer: "The Zhu family controls half of Shandong's illegal salt trade, and I heard my father say that they sell more than 100,000 quintals of illegal salt a year, but I don't know if there is a tenth of the amount here!" ”

100,000 quintals?

One load is about equal to 100 catties, which means that the sales volume of Zhujia is more than 500 tons a year?!

Even if the cost is removed, at least there is an income of nearly 10,000 yuan!

What's even more rare is the long stream......

Thinking of this, Wu Kai suddenly regretted a little, he had known that he would have left Zhu Biao's life, and he would have saved himself from seeing a road to fortune now, but he didn't know how to intervene.

"Someone, search carefully for me, be sure to find the account book of the Zhu family's sale of illicit salt! Also, send someone out to inquire and see if anyone knows about the Zhu family's purchase of illicit salt......"

"Buddha! Buddha! ”

Wu Kai was giving orders, when he saw Cao Yang rushing over, and when he was close, he saw that he was holding a string of round and full pearls in his hand, as well as a few pieces of crystal clear jade.

Wu Kai's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, did you find the place where the Zhu family hid the treasure?!" ”

"No...... No, Buddha, these are found from some dead bodies! Cao Yang said breathlessly: "There are a lot of similar gold and silver jewelry, and now they are all in the study!" ”

Could it be that the secret passage is not used for escape, but the place where the gold and silver are stored in the Zhu Mansion? (To be continued.) )
