486 family collections
After the firewood got off the carriage, Xu Erlang asked people to clean it up. In the deep mountains and old forests here, there is no shortage of this kind of dry firewood, just pull some dead branches and leaves, and you can get a carriage in a moment.
As for the oil oil, it was brought with me when I came.
The guards piled all the firewood into the cave, which was pitch black, and the black rumbling forehead seemed to hide a monster waiting to eat people. But this is not difficult for everyone, they dipped a wooden stick in fire oil, and they love you very much, and the stick becomes a torch in an instant.
There were torches to illuminate, and Xu Erlang entered the stone cave with Master Ke and Lord Wu.
What you can see is an empty space, and there is no trace of gold and silver at all. And more than ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, there were several gray-haired old men.
These people are led by an old man standing in the middle, the old man is about sixty years old, and he can indeed see some traces of the Li family on his appearance, it should be the uncle in the mouth of Li Sanniang.
The circle of people around the old man saw Xu Erlang and the others coming in, and their faces showed nervousness. It was the old man, his face was hateful, and his face was distorted, "Governor Xu, the Li family has no grudges with you in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future." You said that the Li family assassinated you and privately built warships and artillery, which is a violation of national law. You are in a high position, and you can make up accusations for the Li family at will, and the Li family can't refute it, and we consider ourselves unlucky. But you have already sent my Li family's descendants to prison and raided the Li family's treasury, why are you so aggressive, and you don't even let go of the inheritance left by the Li family's ancestors? ”
The old man's face turned hideous, "All these properties were left by my Li family's ancestors, and now they all belong to me." I have not violated the laws and regulations of the country, and Governor Xu will not be able to take away these treasury even if he comes forward in person. Otherwise, if you take advantage of the people's private property, I can go to the royal court and pull you off the horse. ”
"Governor Xu, stay a line, and see you in the future. As long as you let go of this treasury, I am willing to share one-third of the profits and give it to the Governor as private property. ”
The old man's coaxing tone was heavier, but the hand hidden behind him slowly pressed the button next to him, as if waiting for something.
Xu Erlang keenly saw it, although Lord Wu and Master Ke didn't see the movement, they saw dead bodies all over the ground. Those were all the men who had followed Li Sanniang in before, and at this time they were lying on the ground, and the place over there was even red with their blood, and there was even blood gushing out.
Those people died miserably, which shows that this old man is definitely not a good stubble. And now he is kind to Xu Erlang, is he really tempting him, or do you want to wait for him to relax his energy so that he can give a fatal blow?
The answer is almost yes, so Lord Wu and Master Ke frowned.
The two didn't speak, and Xu Erlang didn't bother to pay attention to the uncle of the Li family. He turned sideways and asked the people behind him to bring in all the firewood, and when the people belonging to the Li family in the cave saw it, their expressions changed greatly.
The uncle of the Li family wanted to say something, and Mohe had already personally stepped forward to pour a bucket of fire oil on the firewood.
Seeing this, the uncle of the Li family was stunned, "Governor Xu is not greedy enough to swallow elephants, and he is not afraid of choking himself to death." The one-third of the inventory I gave has already done my best, but the Governor should not, and I still want to monopolize the century-old foundation of my Li Mansion, so let's try it, and let's see who has the upper hand in the end. It's just a fire attack, hehe......"
Xu Erlang waved his hand, "Let's do it." ”
Mohe nodded, "Lord Wu, Master Ke, please stand back." ”
Lord Wu, Lord Ke and Xu Erlang walked out of the cave together, and before the two left, they caught a glimpse of Mohe throwing a small bag into the firewood, and then a torch was thrown up, and the firewood burned instantly.
Mo He gave each of his subordinates a pill, and Xu Erlang took out the medicine bottle from the sachet and poured two pills and handed them to Lord Wu and Master Ke respectively.
He took the initiative to solve his doubts, "It is definitely not enough to rely on fire attack, this mountain peak is huge, I don't know how many layers there are, if there is a partition between each layer, or there is a space to hide and breathe, fire attack is completely useless." The paper bag that Mohe threw in was filled with drugs, but mortals would immediately fall unconscious when they smelled it. ”
Do you still have a chance to move your hands and feet when you are unconscious? Naturally, there is no more.
Even if they open all kinds of mechanisms in advance in anger, it will not help, after all, there are ready-made traps in front of them, and no one will blindly take the initiative to pick them in.
With this trick, no matter how many mechanisms there are in this cave, they will be useless.
Lord Wu clapped his hands, "This plan is very good. ”
Master Ke also said, "Although it is not done by a gentleman, it is a very fashionable and extraordinary thing." ”
The corners of Xu Erlang's lips curled slightly, and the three of them stopped talking, staring at the movement inside the stone gate.
The firewood was placed three meters from the entrance of the cave, and there were five or six guards standing there, fanning the wind with various tools in their hands.
A puff of smoke quickly poured into the belly of the cave, and the Lijia family, who was the first to smell it, soon collapsed. When someone found out that the smoke was inappropriate, only two people had time to escape, and the rest all fell. The uncle of the Li family was among the people who fell, and he naturally realized the Tao immediately, and he also knew that even if he opened the mechanism at this time, it would not work. But under the resentment, the uncle of the Li family still reflexively pressed the button of the mechanism.
In the belly of this mountain, there are not only all kinds of swords, guns and swords, but also smoke and poisonous smoke. Poisonous smoke is the last barrier in the belly of the mountain, but anyone who smells poisonous smoke will die!
With the fall of the Li family's uncle, sure enough, hundreds or thousands of puffs of black smoke ran out of the thin holes in the wall, and soon filled the entire stone cave.
Fortunately, Mo He saw the opportunity quickly, and almost as soon as the poisonous smoke erupted, he immediately took out a jade bottle from his belt. The jade bottle contained an antidote pill made by Changle. The effect of this antidote pill is also domineering, when the five great families besieged Xu Erlang and his party before, they also resorted to the strategy of poisonous smoke, and the reason why it did not work was because they took the detoxification pill made by Changle.
Not to mention that this antidote pill can cure all kinds of poisons, but all the poisons that Mohe has encountered so far, including all kinds of snake venom that can be named, and all kinds of poisonous smoke that cannot be named, can be lifted, and it is also powerful.
The moment Uncle Lijia lay down, he saw those people swallowing all the antidote pills, and as the black smoke filled, a fishy sweet taste gushed out of his throat. Uncle Li knew that he was going to die, and these poisons were domineering, but he personally researched them. Because he had no interest in mundane things and only focused on medicinal herbs, he never married a wife and had children in his life. When the family routinely arranged for someone to come over to guard the treasury, he took the initiative to invite Ying to come and camp here. In order that no one disturbs his purity, he can make medicines as he wants.
Because of the perennial drug trial, he has almost become half a medicine man. It was also because of this that the smoke before did not have such a big effect on him, and he was able to hold on for a few breaths. However, he did not lose consciousness from the smoke, but he had to die under the poisonous smoke he made, which has to be said to be ironic.
But before the uncle of the Li family could finish thinking about this, he was already bleeding and soon died. His eyes were wide open, and he couldn't bat at death.
The black smoke mixed with the smoke from earlier, and soon filled the entire belly of the mountain. Mohe looked at the situation and asked the brothers to work harder, this mountain peak is very big, and nothing is placed in the bottom layer, which proves that there are other layers of the mountain peak, gold and silver should be placed in those places. Besides, the captives said that there were a hundred and ten people here, but now there are less than ten of them, where have the rest gone? Clouds
Mohe threw another pack of cigarettes into it, and said to his brothers, "Fan it for a while, and try to bring down the Li family members who are hiding elsewhere." ”
In this way, everyone took turns and waited until half an hour later before stopping.
Another hour passed, making sure that the smell inside was dispersed, and now there was no threat to the human body if they went in, Xu Erlang went in with Lord Wu and Master Ke.
Just now they just took a casual look, and they saw that this first layer was really huge. Now that all the torches around are lit, the space on the first floor is unintentional, and the area on the ground floor is more and more extensive.
Xu Erlang waved his hand, "Go and see where the secret passage and the treasury are hidden." ”
Hundreds of guards led the way, and soon someone exclaimed, "There's a stone gate here." ”
"There's that too."
"This is the entrance to the tunnel."
"This side leads to the upper floor."
In less than half a day, all the stone doors on the first floor were opened. And inside each stone gate, all piled up are large wooden boxes. Tear open the seal and open one of the large wooden boxes, which is full of silver ingots with white flowers.
Lord Wu showed surprise on his face, and went to check the other "warehouses", not surprisingly, they were all filled with silver. Fifty taels, one hundred taels, if you don't calculate carefully, each treasury also has about tens of millions of silver. And there are ten stone gates on the bottom layer alone, and if you add up all the silver in them, what a huge number!!
"Let's go, go up to the next floor." Lord Wu couldn't wait to say.
Xu Erlang and Master Ke took the lead and walked towards the passage that the guards had found leading to the upper floor.
There were a few big men lying at the entrance, bleeding from their mouths and noses, who should have accidentally smelled poisonous smoke and died.
The guards threw the corpses of several big men out, and some people carried them out. Xu Erlang and the three of them didn't care about this, they only let people search for this second layer.
The middle of the second floor was empty, just like the first. As expected, the jewels and the like should also be hidden in the stone door on the second floor.
Sure enough, soon the guard's surprised voice came. And when these stone doors were opened, there were still large wooden boxes full of piles, and when the boxes were opened, they were full of gold bars and gold bricks.
Six stone doors, inside which are stacked with gold bars and bricks!!!
This next appointment is as well-informed as Master Ke, and he can't help but exclaim, "Your Majesty's private treasury doesn't have so much gold. ”
Yes, Emperor Yunwen's private treasury doesn't have so much gold! Not to mention Emperor Yunwen's private treasury, it is the national treasury, and the reserves of gold are at most one-fifth more than here. But that's the treasury! And what is here? It's just a private treasury of a family!!
Lord Ke was sweating on his forehead, he only knew that the family was rich and lived a luxurious life, especially the royal family. But the family has such a deep heritage, this is really ...... Far from what he expected.
Master Ke can imagine how His Majesty will be furious after this matter is reported! That can't be described as a surprise, Emperor Yunwen will only be angry!
Your Majesty's poor jingle has fattened the silverfish in the house, and whoever is replaced will also be angry.
If you really tell Your Majesty about this matter, Your Majesty's intention to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots of the family will definitely be stronger.
These people enjoy the reverence of the world, and enjoy all kinds of privileges, but like thieves, they pull all the things of their master's house into their own house. He is now richer than his master, and because of his wealth, the rest of the people at the bottom who are begging for a living under the master's family cannot eat or take medicine, which makes them rebellious and complain a lot about the master's family......
This consequence is unimaginable.
Lord Ke was sweating on his forehead, but it was Lord Wu, who was extremely calm at the moment.
He was a second-class official from a peasant family, and the most property he had seen before was the one hundred taels of gold that His Majesty rewarded him. That amount was large enough to give him the heart to serve the country after doing his best.
And now the silver, the gold...... The number is far more than Lord Wu can count. He was shocked and shocked, and the whole person was numb. Because my mind is chaotic, I don't know the value of these things at all.
He really didn't know.
There is a third floor above the second floor. In the "Central Hall" on the third floor, there are mountains of stones. Some of the stones were a little crimson, and some were red. These are all rough jadeite.
Beside them, there were a few fallen craftsmen with tools at hand, who should have been polishing the rough stones before. This side is some distance from the bottom, and because the diaphragm effect of this mountain peak is well done, and even more, they are so confident in the "security" here that even if these people hear a commotion below, they don't pay much attention. Because of this, I don't know how I died.
There are four stone doors on the third floor, and when you push them open, the place next to the wall is full of shelves. On the shelves, there are all kinds of jadeite rough stones that have been polished, among which there are seven or eight pieces of imperial green as the size of a basin. And among them, there is a "stone king", the huge body occupies a stone room, the imperial green water color is like a spring spring, and the volume of this stone, I am afraid that the largest capacity of the common people's water tank, are not as good as this imperial green.
Such a huge imperial green is really earth-shattering.
For a moment, Xu Erlang thought that the Li family had found two excellent jade mines. But most of the jade mines come from Yunnan and Burma, which is the territory of Tusi and Weiguo Mansion, and the Lijia family can make it bigger in Tongzhou, and there is still so much energy over there to make two ore veins?
It's a really interesting thing, and I'll have to figure it out later.
Master Ke was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, and circled around the huge piece of imperial green several times. Master Ke doesn't look at the fairness and honesty when handling the case, the whole person has no desires and no desires, and he is very indifferent. But he was a lover of calligraphy and carving.
