When the two returned to the city, the night was already dark. Qin Ruse took Gongsun Jin and walked towards the Kanji pawnshop in the east of the city. Passing by a place that sells rock sugar gourds, Gongsun Jin walked away for a moment and gave the vendor a little money: "Send it to the Zhenbei Wangfu." ”

When the two arrived at the pawnshop in Khamkee, they cautiously stepped on the tiles from the roof of the house, and then climbed down in a hidden place.

"Your Majesty, what did I say you just did?"

"Nothing." Gongsun Jin observed the situation inside the pawnshop and asked, "Uncle Zhou, is it here?" ”

"Well, shhhh

At that time, as usual, the men went in and out of the pawn shop, counting all the pawn things this month. At this time, Uncle Zhou was wearing a different dress from the long shirt he used to settle accounts, and walked towards the main hall with four or five abacus in his hand.

"Shall we go down?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Qin Ruse gently pulled Gongsun Jin, "I sprinkled phosphorus powder on the sole of Uncle Zhou's shoes, and he couldn't run." ”

Gongsun Jin frowned slightly: "Although phosphorus powder can track the enemy in the night, it is also easy to expose us. ”

Qin Ruse didn't know where to take out a piece of maltose and put it in his mouth: "I sprinkled phosphorus powder in order to track down Uncle Zhou, phosphorus powder is easy to catch fire." ”

Gongsun Jin didn't quite understand the meaning for a while, and after a while, Gongsun Jin had to admire Qin Ruse's wisdom: "You suspect that they have a place underground that specializes in refining official silver." ”

Qin Ruse nodded, at this time, the guy in the pawnshop should have gotten some news, and suddenly looked around.

"Walking the water (in ancient times for the meaning of fire), walking the water!" Qin Ruse and Gongsun Jin hadn't dodged yet, and someone shouted in the depths of the main hall.

At that time, I only saw people coming and going running towards the main hall with buckets. Why does it take so many people for a big hall to catch fire? To put it another simple analogy, there are more than 20 people just in and out, and there are not so many people standing in the main hall of a pawnshop. In other words, there must be a secret way to buy it in the main hall.

"Your Majesty, we'll take advantage of the chaos to get in later."

"That's what we're changing clothes for, right?"

"Hurry up, Your Majesty."

Qin Ruse smeared a handful of dust on the roof tiles and wiped her face. turned around to help Gongsun Jinlong, and met his disgusted eyes. Qin Ruse glanced at it with disdain, jumped around the room, and went around to blend in with the people.

"What do you see, quickly carry water to put out the fire." A guy hurriedly threw the bucket to Qin Ruse, "Hurry up." ”

"Eh, eh!" Qin Ruse didn't know where he learned Heze's words, and pressed his voice in response.

After following the people in front of you into the main hall of the pawnshop, all the people entered the inner hall through the small door on one side. The inner hall is dedicated to the Buddha statue, and the entrance of the Buddha statue is a secret passage leading to the underground.

"Look, hurry!"

"It's coming, it's coming." Qin Ruse hurriedly ran inside with a bucket of water.

After going down the stairs for four or five meters, Qin Ruse felt the heat wave coming to her face. She couldn't help but be happy in her heart, it seemed that her method had indeed worked, he had someone put a large amount of phosphorus powder on Uncle Zhou's clothes and shoes earlier. When Zhou Shu, as usual, entered the small workshop where he secretly minted official silver, the phosphorus powder on his body would be ignited in an instant in the high-temperature environment.

Qin Ruse followed the crowd down to the dark passage, and there was a brick kiln corridor of more than ten meters. After entering the hallway, there is an empty underground cave. The fire was not as big as expected, but Uncle Zhou himself was not lightly burned. There were not a few pieces of clothing left on his body, and his eyebrows were gone.

"Hurry up and put out the fire in the bellows."

"Huh!" In order not to expose herself, Qin Ruse immediately ran towards the wooden bellows of the furnace with a bucket of water.

"Wait a minute! Who are you? Before she could go out to fetch the second bucket of water, she was stopped by the steward of the private foundry.
