Three men and one woman, the robbers and hostages mentioned by Wei County's order happened to be active in this area, and it was difficult not to be linked, but I didn't expect such a coincidence, and they met as soon as they came.

"Since it's sure it's them, Ding Man said it's okay to go in and arrest people, right?" Du Ting was puzzled.

Pei Hanfei glanced at him, and pointed to the ground with his toes, "The grass around the cave is lower than other places, obviously there are people who come here often, I heard that the Anyuan Mansion and the Junwang Mansion sent a lot of people but couldn't catch them, you said that we didn't even see people, so we rushed in, what if there was an ambush inside?" ”

"So what now?"

Pei Hanfei groaned slightly, "Li Er, you have a fast journey, go down the mountain in the direction of Anyuan Mansion, and when you see an official on the way, you will say that someone suspected of robbers has been found here, and ask them to send some people over." Du Ting and I went into the cave, if there were only those three people, the three of us could barely cope with it, and if there was an ambush, we would try our best to delay time. ”

There are no horses, and it takes too long to go back to Baigong County now, so it's too late, so it's better to go directly to the people of Taiyuan Mansion, since they have been chasing bandits, there should be officials and messengers along the way.

Li Er went down the mountain with a promise, and Pei Hanfei took Du Ting into the cave.

After such a delay, the two of them could no longer see Ding Man's figure, the cave was dimly lit, and they couldn't see it really, and after the eyes got used to it, they wouldn't be unable to see anything, and after about a quarter of an hour, the cave gradually became spacious, and there was a faint light in front of them.

Du Ting lowered his voice and said, "Why do I feel that it is getting hotter and hotter?" ”

"It's a bit of an anomaly." Pei Hanfei also discovered that the inside of the cave should be cooler than the outside, but the closer you get to the inside, the higher the temperature inside the cave.

Walking to a corner, the light in front of them was even brighter, and several torches were inserted in the mountain wall, illuminating the cave to the fullest, and the two of them were the first to see Ding Man hiding in a shadow, and they were relieved to see him safe and sound.

At the same time, they also saw the source of the increase in the temperature of the cave, where a simple iron furnace was placed, and three men were surrounding it, and they were throwing something into it.

Ding Man was staring in one direction, Du Ting followed his line of sight, and after seeing what it was, he suddenly gasped, "Are they melting silver?" ”

I saw a pile of gold and silver blocks of different shapes on the ground in a corner of the cave, and a rough estimate could not be less than thousands of taels.

Surprised, even if Du Ting subconsciously lowered his voice, he still alarmed the people in the cave.

Someone immediately stood up and shouted, "Who? Come out! ”

Du Ting secretly said, "It's not good", seeing that someone was walking over here with a knife, and it was found that it was a matter of time or time, he immediately walked out.

"Who are you? Why track us? Xu Xingwang immediately asked.

"Ask what he is doing, since he has discovered this place, he cannot let him out alive." Saying that, Wu Da had already held the knife in his hand and rushed towards Du Ting, no matter what the origin of this person is, he will be dead today.

Du Ting's eyes widened, and he hurriedly dodged, the county order didn't say that they had knives! Although he has some fists and feet, but the mortal body can't bear the knives, guns and sticks at all, but this person is strong, and he also has some kung fu in his hands, and after a while, Du Ting fell behind, and saw a big knife swinging towards the door in front of him, he subconsciously closed his eyes.
