Chapter 55: Waiting for the Pit Viper

"There's something wrong with this wall." Huang Chong carefully looked at the wall in front of him and said.

After exterminating Fang Qian and his gang, everyone was surprised to find that tens of millions of official silver in the treasury of Youzhou Mansion had disappeared.

At any time, money is very important, and the imperial court naturally attaches great importance to the official bank, and the official silver of the government treasury of each state and county is guarded by special sergeants sent by the household department, and the entry and exit inspection is extremely strict.

Although Fang Qian and his group were amazingly powerful in Youzhou, they failed to influence these sergeants directly under the household department, that is to say, it was absolutely impossible for Fang Qian and the others to transport the official silver in the treasury through formal channels.

But how could these tens of millions of taels of silver disappear?

After some careful searching, everyone found the abnormality, it turned out that under the silver treasury, there was a secret passage leading to the second hall, and it was through this secret passage that Fang Qian and his group carried out the tens of millions of taels of silver in the treasury.

While exploring the secret passage, Huang Chong found a problem with one of the walls.

Saying that, Huang Chong knocked on the wall with his fingers, making a "fluttering" sound, and pressed hard, and the wall was dented.

"It's empty, and the wall is made of sand nets and stones." As he spoke, Huang Chong's eyes searched the wall, and at the end of the wall, Huang Chong saw an abnormal bulge, and Di Renjie also found it, he took a step ahead of Huang Chong and reached out to press on the bulge.

But I saw that the wall opened with the sound of "rolling", and it turned out to be a door, and inside was a dark room.

"This ......," the four looked at each other.

"I'll go in first." Li Yuanfang walked into the dark room with a lantern in one hand and a knife in the other, while Huang Chong and Hu Jinghui held sharp blades in front of Di Renjie and looked at Li Yuanfang's back vigilantly.

Just like the situation in Huang Chong's memory, they found the imprisoned true assassin Shi Fangqian in this dark room.

Huang Chong knew that although this guy was Zhen Fangqian, he was not a good bird, but Huang Chong did not expose him, not because he had any concerns, but that Huang Chong wanted to use this guy to lure out the "pit viper", that is, Hu Jinghui.

The reason why this is so is because Huang Chong is still not sure what level his strength belongs to, and Huang Chong wants to use a pit viper to test his strength.

It stands to reason that Huang Chong's time in the rivers and lakes is not short, and he should have a relatively clear understanding of his own strength.

This is not the case.

First, according to various routines for watching film and television dramas, there are actually very few real masters in the rivers and lakes, and those so-called "masters" who are boasted about in film and television dramas are actually just like that.

But then again, this is inevitable, after all, who made them not the protagonists, if the "little miscellaneous fish" are all hanging in the sky, then how can the protagonist be mixed.

And to say a word of conscience, the strength of these "masters" is not bad, but unfortunately the reference objects are different, such as Murong Fu, Ding Chunqiu and others in "Tianlong Babu", they are definitely masters, but unfortunately the reader's reference object is Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, Xuzhu and other perverts, so the masters have become parallel goods.

Second, people will have cognitive biases when they are self-locating, and they usually overestimate their abilities, which is already a definitive conclusion in psychology, and the relevant institutions in the previous life did a survey, and the content of the survey was to ask a person's appearance, and the results showed that more than 75% of people thought that their appearance was above the average level.

Obviously, people tend to overestimate themselves.

Huang Chong needs to know where his real strength can be roughly ranked, which is very important, so he needs to find a suitable reference object, and Hu Jinghui's strength should be ranked in the top ten among the detectives, and it is very suitable to use him as a reference.

In addition, because of the timing chosen by Huang Chong, the danger will be much smaller.

……

"Di Gong, there is something wrong with this Fang Qian." After placing Fang Qian, Huang Chong took the time to say to Di Renjie.

"Oh, what's the problem?"

"He's got wounds." Huang Chong said.

"Hurt?" Di Renjie was stunned.

"Yes, he should have new injuries on his back, and some serious old injuries on his body, which even hurt his vitality." Huang Chong said.

"In this way, it is not easy for us to be the Lord of the Assassins." Di Renjie had a signature smile on his face and said pointedly.

Hearing Di Renjie's words, Huang Chong smiled, and didn't say anything more, it was obvious that Fang Qian had already aroused Di Renjie's suspicions, and he could only say that the timing of his appearance was too coincidental.

I really don't know if this fat old man is suspicious of anyone.

"Di Gong, now that things in Youzhou have basically stabilized, can you take action against the ghost town, destroy the other party's lair, and rescue those imprisoned villagers." Huang Chong said.

Previously, things were one after another, overwhelming, Di Renjie didn't have the energy, and he didn't have enough manpower to deal with the affairs of the ghost town, but now the overall situation in Youzhou has basically stabilized, Huang Chong was worried that Di Renjie would forget, so he brought it up again.

"Not yet." Di Renjie shook his head: "Now that the army has not arrived, although the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has been absorbed, there must still be people from the other side hidden in it, and the army is still unstable, so the Qincha Guards can't move now, and the strength of the local officials alone is too poor, and there are not enough manpower to deal with the ghost town." ”

"But if you don't make a move and give the other party enough time to transfer, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with them later." Huang Chong said.

"Not necessarily, Jin Mulan and the others have a lot of plans, they will definitely not leave Youzhou easily, even if they transfer, the biggest possibility is to transfer to Youzhou City, this is just the opportunity to give us the opportunity to close the door and beat the dogs, and wipe them out, in the ghost town, it is their home field, but when they get to Youzhou, they can't help it." Di Renjie explained.

In fact, Di Renjie had already secretly sent people to supervise the various city gates in Youzhou and under Xiaolianzi Mountain, and no one else knew about this matter except Di Renjie and the implementer, even Huang Chong didn't know, Di Renjie, an old fox, was very cautious in doing things.

After verifying Fang Qian's true identity, Di Renjie placed him in the East Flower Hall of the Governor's Mansion, which was originally a row of empty rooms, but after Fang Qian moved in, he became more popular.

That night, there was one more person in the East Flower Hall, a "night watchman" - Huang Chong.

"Looks like my memory isn't correct, you're finally here." Seeing a black shadow coming in from outside the wall, Huang Chong muttered to himself.
