Chapter 334 Demolition
That night, in Chu Ling's tent, two figures sneaked in from a distance, it was Chu Junlan and Gu Guiyi.
The reason why the three of them chose Chu Ling's camp tent to discuss things was not because of anything else, but because the two of them were holding on to the source of 50,000 gold today, their respective camp tents had been supervised by Fang Zhong's people.
It's just a trick for them to escape from the surveillance.
And Chu Ling's side is naturally not completely without a watchman, but it has been eradicated by Chu Ling.
Now the people in the entire military camp knew that Chu Ling and Fang Zhong were opposites, so Chu Ling didn't have to think about any issues such as scaring the snake.
If you find something wrong, you can just pull it out.
The two of them directly entered Chu Ling's tent, and then saw Chu Ling sitting in front of the table, holding a book and looking at something.
After seeing the two of them, they buttoned the book, and the three of them sat in a corner of the table.
"Did you find something wrong today?"
Chu Junlan was the first to speak, and his gaze swept over the faces of Chu Ling and Gu Guiyi one by one.
The two of them nodded in tacit agreement.
Chu Ling even said directly:
"I secretly checked the accounts of military salaries in the army, and some of the secret accounts did not match."
"So, this villain Fang Zhong is really embezzling military salaries?"
In an instant, Chu Junlan's face sank completely, it was not that he hadn't thought about this possibility, but he didn't want it to be what he thought in his heart.
After all, that's 50,000 gold!
How many silver taels did the soldiers have to exchange their lives and blood and sweat for, and the result was cheaper than Fang Zhong?
"Not only that, as far as I know, in addition to embezzling military salaries, he should have also received a lot of bribes."
Chu Ling's face was also gloomy, and his body was even more murderous, he had always been black and white, and he hated this gray area even more.
"But where did Fang Zhong put that large sum of silver taels?"
Gu Guiyi asked in a deep voice on the side.
Yes, the 100,000 gold piles together are like a small mountain, not to mention Chu Junlan, even these two people who soak in the barracks every day, and they can't find a place in the barracks that can hide so many silver taels.
"I will follow up with Fang Zhong in the next few days, he will always show his feet."
Chu Junlan opened his mouth and said.
Compared to the other two, it was obviously easier for him to follow Fang Zhong without being discovered.
It's not because of anything else, it's just that he doesn't have to go to the martial arts training ground every day.
Hearing Chu Junlan say this, the other two naturally had no objections.
Fang Zhong was really calm, Chu Junlan had to come to the door every day to ask for the 50,000 gold, and he had to follow him, so he tossed for five days before Chu Junlan could be regarded as having a clue.
Fang Zhong would go to the edge of a dry well every day these days to take a look.
It's really just a glance, he is like some kind of geographical surveyor, every day he walks to the dry well that is deserted in the mountain behind the barracks, and then he looks inside and comes back again, day after day!
No matter how stupid Chu Junlan was, he could see that something was wrong.
So after sensing that something was wrong, he passed the news to Chu Ling and Gu Guiyi, and agreed to come together tomorrow night to find out what was going on in this dry well.
Is the 50,000 gold hidden in this dry well?
Chu Junlan also looked at the dry well carefully, and there was not much clear water in it, but there was a pool of water at the bottom that looked extremely turbid.
The water was as muddy as the rain that had been trampled on countless times in the middle of the road on a rainy day.
At the agreed time, the three of them came to the dry well to take a look, but they really didn't see any doorway.
"There must be some mechanism in this dry well, and the 50,000 gold must be hidden in it."
Gu Guiyi looked at the dry well, and groped for the bricks at the mouth of the well, as if he knew what mechanism there was.
Of course, he didn't have any unusual reaction when he touched the dry well.
"Fang Zhong wandered around this dry well for a while every day, looking as if he was waiting for something."
Chu Junlan looked at Gu Guiyi's movements, leaned on the tree by the well with both hands and arms, and said boredly.
Gu Guiyi had already done the action he had done just now, but just like Gu Guiyi, this dry well had not changed in any way.
"In any case, we must find the 50,000 gold first, and then get our hands, and we must not fall into Fang Zhong's hands."
Chu Ling's expression was a little solemn when he spoke, he was already vigilant enough against Fang Zhong, but he didn't expect Fang Zhong to hide 50,000 gold here with so many people behind his back.
What a ......
"If the 50,000 gold is really hidden in this dry well......"
Gu Gui glanced at the other two, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes sparkled even more in the moonlight.
"Chu Shizi, how many of your own people do you still have in this Jiangnan?"
"If there are enough people...... How about hollowing out this well? ”
After Chu Junlan heard Gu Guiyi's words, his expression was obviously stunned, as if he didn't expect that there was such a way.
But then I thought about it, and found that this method is not impossible.
Now the entire Secret Guard is here, roughly calculated that there will be twenty or thirty people, don't look at these twenty or thirty people digging such a big well as if it is a bit self-sufficient, but don't forget, each of those people in the Secret Guard was carefully cultivated by him.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one is a hundred.
The other two knew that this matter was feasible as soon as they saw Chu Junlan's expression, "Gu Guiyi is right, the gold on the left and right must be in this well, and if this well is demolished, I don't believe it and I can't find it." ”
Chu Ling echoed.
"In that case, without further ado, I'll go and contact my people now, and in half an hour, gather here."
Half an hour later, more than thirty masked men arrived one after another, and they were like crows in the night, hidden in the darkness, and only the occasional breathing could make people notice their presence.
The last person to arrive was Chu Shengmo, and he thought about it, he was so fond of fun, how could he not come to participate in this kind of thing.
After everyone arrived, Chu Junlan gave an order, and everyone began to get busy with the matter of dismantling the well.
So many people didn't even need tools, everyone used internal force, and the bricks used to build the well were broken like tofu and put aside.
And Gu Guiyi, who was looking at it from the beginning to the end, couldn't help but smack his tongue a little, so that he could see what the difference was between the royal relatives and them, ordinary people.
Such a master who is a hundred can take out so many people at once, and further want to cultivate this group of people, how many silver taels did Chu Shizi throw into it?
The amount was more than the 50,000 gold they were trying to find now, and it was estimated that it would only be more, not less.
