Xiao Shilang turned around and wanted to rush back into the cave, and when he got to the cave, with the help of the terrain, he could at least fight to the death of one or two.

But at that moment, a foot flew down in the air and kicked him in the chest, kicking him all over the ground.

The one who kicked him was tall or not fat, this thin man had strength, and he kicked Xiao Shilang to vomit blood. Xiao Shilang didn't give up, he couldn't drill back into the hole, he bent down and ran towards the grass next to him, but he only took two steps, and there was a loud shout behind him, and then, he felt that the dung door was cold and then painful, and a columnar object penetrated into it, picking him up, he screamed in a high-pitched voice, and the strength of his body instantly poured out from the place where he was penetrated.

"Yu ...... Puppy! He turned his head resentfully, staring at the boy who had just frightened him.

"Dog thief, still cheap!" It was Gao Dazhu who stabbed him, this is the marksmanship passed down by the Gao family, hearing that Xiao Shilang's mouth was not clean, as soon as he lifted the spear that was still inserted in Xiao Shilang's body, Xiao Shilang's lower body immediately stood up.

"Give, give me a good time!" The gun was stuck with a red tassel, so it didn't penetrate very deeply, but because of this, Xiao Shilang couldn't die for a while, and he screamed and begged for death.

"You have been doing business on Chaohu Lake for several years, and where is the looted property, I will give you a good time when I say it." Yu Guozhen paced over slowly, but stopped two feet away from him: "I know about your several nests, even if you don't say it, it's just for us to spend more time." As much time you let me waste, you will have to spend as much time as you want. ”

His tone was very indifferent, Xiao Shilang heard that kind of mountain-like firmness, if he didn't do it, then this young man surnamed Yu would really let him live and die for a long time.

I said...... Right here, right here......" At this time, he couldn't get up.

"Look at him, let's go in and have a look." Yu Guozhen ordered after hearing him say where to put the looted property. Without waiting for him to move, Gao Bufat stepped into the cave first, so that even if there were water thieves inside, he would not be able to hurt Yu Guozhen.

The cave was quite large, with a capacity for hundreds of people, and the two pillars of the high pole set up torches, and they went dozens of paces deeper, and then they saw rows and rows of cloth bags. Gao Bufat saw these bags, his face suddenly changed, he glanced at Yu Guozhen, but Yu Guozhen was still very calm.

"It's salt." Gao Bufat said: "They are really colluding with the salt lords." ”

"Drag that guy in, and let the big pillar lead the people to guard the entrance to the cave." Yu Guozhen said.

Xiao Shilang was dragged in, he was already half dead, and when he was dragged in front of the bag of salt, he laughed: "See, haha, Uncle has a total of 3,000 bags of salt here, 24,000 catties, and 8,000 taels of silver...... Those salt lords won't let you go, they will avenge me and kill your Yu family......"

The voice stopped abruptly, Yu Guozhen's spear had already pierced his front heart, Xiao Shilang thought that Yu Guozhen was angry like this, he tried to raise his head, wanting to see Yu Guozhen's horror through the light of the torch.

But what he saw was calm, whether it was killing him or robbing the salt lord of a large amount of salt, Yu Guozhen behaved calmly, as if it was a trivial matter.

"You...... You ......"

"Those salt barons won't know that I did it, they'll just think that you ate black and black, swallowed their salt and ran away." Yu Guozhen said calmly: "If they want to find it, they are also looking for trouble with your family." ”

Xiao Shilang's eyes widened, but he couldn't see anything, his pupils were rapidly dilating, and then the person fell stiffly.

Yu Guozhen looked at the salt, and then looked at Gao Fei and was not fat: "Unexpected joy, eight thousand taels of silver...... Not bad, either. ”

"It's not easy to shoot." Tall and not fat.

"There will always be a way, Erzhu, you go and lead someone to kill all those who are still alive, don't leave one, all the corpses are tied up and stones are brought to the boat."

Gao Erzhu ran out in response, Yu Guozhen and Gao Bufat began to look for the place where Xiao Shilang buried his goods, and after a while, they turned it out.

Xiao Shilang knows the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, those treasures are hidden in four places, and some gold and silver are fine and soft, high and not fat, and they are all worth more than a thousand taels of silver when converted.

Now the price of rice is expensive, more than 1,000 taels of silver, can only be exchanged for 600 stones of rice, and Yu Guozhen knows that the price of grain will only become more and more expensive. He is going to take in three hundred teenagers, plus their families, it may cost more than a thousand, and this thousand taels of silver can support these people for more than half a year.

And there are these private salts, private salts worth eight thousand taels of silver, which is a lot of wealth!

The entire Yu family has all the cash silver collected together, and it is estimated that it is three or four thousand taels, and in this era, in some places, salt and cash silver have the same circulation value!

"The value of the captures in World War I added up to nearly 10,000 taels...... But he is unharmed by himself, and the petty official is really clever! The taciturn man from northern Shaanxi couldn't help but dance with excitement at this time: "The little official is mighty!" ”

"The petty officials are mighty!" Several teenagers who were following him also shouted excitedly.

Yu Guozhen wasn't very excited, but smiled slightly, and when they quieted down, he ordered: "The things haven't been shipped back yet, so they can't be considered ours...... Ye Wuya! ”

Ye Wuya immediately stepped forward and said: "In!" ”

"You take two people to a high place to observe, see if there is anything unusual around, if anyone approaches Laoshan Island, immediately report to me, pay attention to concealment."

"Yes!" Ye Wuya nodded the two teenagers and left quickly, squeezing his eyes at Luo Jiuhe, who was a little sullen, before leaving.

Luo Jiuhe hung his head, he usually worked very hard in practice, but he was always pressed by Ye Wuya, and now the petty official pointed out Ye Wuya's name, which was obviously important to him. At this age, how could there be anyone who was not competitive, so Luo Jiuhe couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart.

"Let's carry all the salt bags to the water's edge, Luo Jiuhe, you take someone to row the big boat over!"

In addition to the three fishing boats, they also brought a large boat, which was originally used by Yu Guozhen to carry prisoners and booty. Now there is no need for prisoners, and naturally they are used entirely for loot. A big boat plus three fishing boats, more than 20,000 catties of salt and more than 20 people, the boat was full of draft when he returned.

Late at night, they returned to Xiang'an, and after unloading the goods, Yu Guozhen gathered people together, looked at the young men with excited faces, and said sternly: "Today's matter is very important, you all know the severity, remember, just say that we go out to practice, in addition, don't say a word, otherwise you will be expelled from the Yu family immediately, and you will never be pardoned!" ”

"Yes!"

For these teenagers, the sense of secrecy has been repeatedly emphasized from the first day they arrived at Yu Guozhen, who were originally twenty people, and four of them were repulsed one after another for disobeying Yu Guozhen's orders. Now when these four people see them, they can't raise their heads in disgrace, and with this example, naturally everyone is awe-inspiring.

Early the next morning, Yu Guozhen had just gotten up, and Yu Yiqin appeared in front of him: "Guozhen, how happened yesterday?" ”

He knew that Yu Guozhen led the team out yesterday, and that group of water thieves was a problem for the Yu family, and they must be eliminated as soon as possible.

"Second uncle come with me." Yu Guozhen led him to the newly built side compartment, which was at the end of the teenagers' dormitory, which was originally intended to store training equipment, but was temporarily vacated as a warehouse last night.

"It's ...... Salt? Yu Yiqin was stunned when he saw the bags, he was the patriarch, and he was no stranger to this thing.

"Well, yesterday 24,000 catties of salt were seized."

"Twenty-four thousand catties!" Yu Yiqin was stunned, he looked at Yu Guozhen, and it took a while to regain his strength: "Guozhen, this is ...... That's amazing! ”

"A total of 24,000 catties of salt, and about 1,000 taels of gold and silver." Yu Guozhen opened a cloth bag next to him again.

"Great, great, amazing, amazing!"

Yu Yiqin has seen the world, and their Yu family's shop can be opened in Nanjing, the capital of Liudu, and Yu Yiqin has not been less than this prosperous place. However, the wealth of nearly 10,000 taels at a time still made him happy.

He opened a bag, saw the coarse white salt grains, twisted a little more into his mouth and tasted: "It's Huai salt, the best Huai salt!" ”

"It should be Huai Yan."

"Great...... No, no, Guozhen, woe to you! After being happy for a moment, Yu Yiqin suddenly thought of a question: "How can there be Huai salt where the water thieves are?" They robbed the salt merchants? ”

"It's the salt barons who colluded with the water thieves, probably trying to sell illicit salt by taking advantage of the water thieves' familiarity with the waterways."

"Salt Owl...... Those guys are lawless! The red tide of excitement on Yu Yiqin's face had not yet receded, and immediately turned pale again: "This is a big disaster!" ”

"Aren't the water thieves lawless, now that gang of water thieves have all sunk under Chaohu Lake, and after ten days and a half months, they will all feed the fish and turtles." Yu Guozhen said calmly: "Erboxiu has to worry, if we don't go to a living mouth, as long as we don't say it ourselves, where will the salt lord know!" ”

"I lost more than 8,000 taels of private salt, how can the salt lords give up, they will definitely check, it is better to return it to them......"

"Second uncle, I interrogated the captives, this group of salt barons and water thieves are cooperating for the first time, so this batch of salt is not too much, and they can't trust water thieves. Now that the water thieves have been wiped out by me, and all traces have been covered up by me, the first thing the salt lord suspects is that this group of water thieves eats black. ”

Hearing such an explanation, Yu Yiqin was still a little uneasy: "This is ...... Really? ”

"The identity of this group of salt lords is also a little special, they are the officers and soldiers of the guard, even if we return the salt to them, they will kill my Yu family to invigorate the mouth and get rid of future troubles." When Yu Guozhen saw him like this, he gave him a dose of fierce medicine: "The second uncle doesn't think he can talk to them, right?" ”

This news really made Yu Yiqin stunned at first, and then gritted his teeth: "These gang of dog thieves actually do such a thing...... Since this is the case, according to Guozhen's meaning......"

"These utensils are fine and soft, the second uncle took them to the uncle, and exchanged them for silver money in the name of the pawnshop, as for how to sell the salt, we will discuss it after the fifth uncle comes back." Yu Guozhen said.

Yu Yiqin acted according to his words, rolled up those utensils and carried them away with mules, and Yu Guozhen trained the teenagers as usual, but when it was about time, Yu Yiqin came to him with an unhappy face.

"Guozhen, the sixth is back, he shouted...... The matter of the fourth room has to be reported to the official! ”
