Chapter 32: Where did the ten thousand taels of gold come from?

The rescuers were extremely difficult, although those who could move around later came out of the passage.

However, because the entrance of the cave is not very large, the war horses cannot come out of the tunnel entrance, not to mention that some are already dead, and some are injured, so they can only be tied with ropes and pulled up by manpower.

Later, the anti-union fighters were too tired to work, and Ximen Jian had to find some young and strong young men in the town to help rescue.

The rescue lasted until dark, and then the men and horses, dead, alive, and wounded, were all brought to the ground.

A count of the numbers, surprising! In this catastrophe, a total of 20 puppet soldiers and puppet policemen were killed and 25 injured; 18 horses were killed and 20 were injured. There were only 23 men and 30 horses unharmed.

At this time, the scene was tightly sealed.

Zhu Shufen, the eldest wife of Zhan Dongyang, Ximen Jian and the temporary head of the royal family, entered the bottom of the cave from the small hole in the back garden where only one person could enter, and counted the number of gold and silver treasures.

When you look inside, it is deep and spacious, and you can walk freely. They listened to Zhu Shufen's explanation as they walked.

It turned out that this basement of the palace was handed down by their Wang family's ancestors, and only when the family and a few close relatives knew about this secret.

When I got to the end, I realized that the place where the centaurs had fallen into it was not the main room of the basement, but a side room. The place was smashed to pieces, and the ground sank more than two feet deep.

In a corner of the floor, two large wooden chests that had once contained gold bars and some soft jewels were empty.

The survivors who fell thought they had made a windfall, but they didn't expect to get the gold bars and treasures to the entrance of the cave and they were turned out.

These treasures are indeed the family wealth accumulated by the Wang family for several generations.

There is also a dark room on the right side of this place, and you can see ten large mahogany chests from afar. They hurriedly stepped forward and opened it to see that it was all golden bars!

"Wow-" That's so much gold!

Not only Zhan Dongyang and Ximen Jian saw so many gold bars for the first time, but even Zhu Shufen, the eldest wife of a big family with a golden hook, saw it for the first time.

They opened their mouths one by one, and they were surprised for a long time before they came to their senses.

Zhan Dongyang and Ximen Jian roughly estimated that there were as many as two tons of gold, tens of thousands of taels!

Does the palace have such money? Zhu Shufen shook her head and told the truth of the matter.

She said: "Even if our palace is the richest man in the golden hook, or the richest man in the county or the richest man in the province, we will not have so much money."

Actually, I don't know about this situation, but I just heard my lord say that his second brother Wang Lanjun came back from the province this time to assist the imperial army in doing things, and casually brought back 10 large boxes of things and temporarily stored them in the basement, but I never expected that there would be so much gold! ”

"Huh? Wang Lanjun's? Zhan Dongyang and Ximen Jian were shocked.

Zhan Dongyang said: "He is the chairman of the provincial government, and in troubled times, and the little devil's war of aggression against China has just happened less than a year, and he has been the chairman of the puppet provincial government for less than half a month, even if he is a corrupt official, the biggest corrupt official in Manchukuo, I am afraid he will not have the conditions and opportunity to embezzle so many gold bars!" So, where did he get all this money from? ”

"It's not going to be a bank robbery, is it?" Ximen Jian said with a smile.

"Even a little devil's bank doesn't necessarily store so many gold bars!" Zhan Dongyang said with emotion.

"Hehe...... Ximen Jian smiled, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he was not sure, or it was simply impossible, so he swallowed back what he wanted to say, and asked, "What about these gold bars?" ”

"Give back the two big chests of the king's house. That's what we're trying to do here! No one is allowed to touch a single hair without my orders! Zhan Dongyang said decisively: "Wait for me and my superiors to ask for instructions, and then make a decision." ”

"Captain, you can't touch those ten boxes of things! That was temporarily deposited in my house by my second master. If he hadn't, he would have stabbed a few of our widows. Zhu Shufen called out again.

"But this secret has been made public, and in troubled times, so many gold and silver treasures have been put in your house, and there is no man in the house, are you not afraid of incurring disaster? Besides, the basement has collapsed into the open air. Zhan Dongyang asked rhetorically.

"This ...... What a mess! Zhu Shufen cried again.

"Humph!" Simon said angrily: "No matter where those gold bars come from, they are not good. At this time, it should be used as anti-Japanese military expenses, or distributed to the common people. ”

Zhan Dongyang said: "Yes, now the anti-Japanese resistance is the most difficult time. ”

"What about the dead horses?" Ximen Jian asked again.

"Let's go back." Zhan Dongyang was very talented in command, and as he walked out, he said: "Dead horses are skinned and eaten meat, and those who can't eat are distributed to the people, and those who are injured can be healed." That one...... Live Horse Fills Army ......"

He glanced back at Zhu Shufen and said, "The eldest lady can also take a look, if those live horses have your palace, you can pick them out and keep them." ”

"Okay, let Steward Zhuang handle this matter." Zhu Shufen said.

"And the wounded and the living?" Ximen Jian asked again.

"The wounded, our military doctors treat their wounds, and the living are welcome to stay if they are willing to resist the Japanese, and those who are unwilling will be given travel expenses to go home to farm......"

When Ximen Jian walked out of the cave, he suddenly thought of something, so he turned his face to Zhu Shufen and said, "I want to ask you something, after Wang Lanjun sent someone to arrest my mother and my sister to your mansion that day, your eldest master sent those family members to throw my mother to the prairie?" ”

"Huh?" Seeing Ximen Jian's cold little face and fiery eyes, Zhu Shufen was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Hey, then I don't know, I'm a woman's family, how can I know about men, you better ask my housekeeper." ”

It just so happened that Zhuang Youcai was hunched over his waist and was waiting at the entrance of the cave.

Ximen Jian glanced at him and asked, "Hey, the old immortal housekeeper, you and your grandmother told me the truth, those few family members threw my mother to the prairie that day?" ”

"Huh?" Zhuang Youcai was also shocked when he saw Ximen Jian suddenly ask this question, and hurriedly said, "This...... This one...... It has nothing to do with me, I'm just an old slave in someone's palace, and I don't know anything! ”

"What? Do you fucking know? As soon as Ximen Jian saw his minion appearance, he was angry, and slapped him.

"Oh, you little rabbit, why are you still beating people? I'm ...... I report to your leaders. Zhuang Youcai wiped the corners of his mouth that was beaten and bloodied, and said very aggrievedly.

"Hey...... Who is Lao Tzu's leader? Lao Tzu is not a member of the Anti-United Nations, no one can care, you say, do you know? ! ”

"I said, I said...... In the middle of the night, after Ma San and Hei Lao Liu came back, I asked and said that I put your mother in a sack and threw it in the northwest meadow, saying that I ran back without waiting for the bandits...... They still didn't let me tell the master, for fear that the master would blame ......"

"What? Ma San and Black Lao Liu! Where are they now? ”

"They are already dead, that is, the last time you came to the mansion to kill the eldest master, you were ...... No, no, no, he was killed by his own bullets. ”

"Say no more!" Ximen Jian's eyes once again emitted a terrifying red light.

Zhuang Youcai was so frightened that he retreated behind Zhan Dongyang again and again, for fear that Ximen Jian would reach out and beat him.

Ximen Jian ignored him, but hurriedly walked out of the palace.

Now that he helped the Anti-Japanese Federation, wiped out the little devils of Wu Xiong, and drove away the big traitor Wang Lanjun, it was time for him to go into the mountains to find his relatives
