Chapter 360: Stepping Stone (6)

Early the next morning, Nie Xiaohu, Cao Xiaohui, Tang Yibin, Shi Yuning and others came to Luonan Street.

Luonan Street is the most prosperous street in Luoyang South District, receiving both sides are all high-end shops and luxury restaurants, the street is not the prince and nobles or the rich nouveau riche, although it is still early in the morning, but the street is already people and cars, very lively.

Xie Ji Yinzhuang is located at the west end of the south side of Luonan Street, is the largest business on the whole street, the whole yard covers an area of about ten acres, the tall courtyard wall is painted red, the courtyard is full of pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, it is a veritable big family.

When the porter heard that it was the chief catcher, he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly ran in to report, and after about a meal, a middle-aged man dressed gorgeously and with a red face greeted him.

"Contemptible Xie Guangkun, I don't know that Mr. Nie is coming, and he is far away, and he hopes to forgive his sins!" , Xie Guangkun arched his hand and said with a smile.

"Where, I came uninvited and disturbed Xie Yuan, I hope you will forgive me!" , Nie Xiaohu smiled and greeted.

"Where did Mr. Nie come from, you can come here, it really makes Xie Pengsheng shine! Ha ha! Come in, we'll talk inside! ”

Nie Xiaohu smiled and nodded, stepped into the courtyard door, and after entering the living room, everyone sat down and had their own maidservants serving fragrant tea.

"Mr. Nie came to the cold house, I don't know what he came for?" After taking a sip of tea, Xie Guangkun asked with a smile.

Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly, put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "I like to get straight to the point when I speak, I don't like to go around in circles, so I'll just say it!" ”

"Listen to me."

"Xie Yuan, we have received a tip-off that there will be bandits attacking you in the evening in two days' time, so I have come to take a look and prepare in advance!"

"What? Bandits want to attack me at night Xie Ji Yinzhuang? Xie Guangkun was stunned.

"Not bad!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded.

"Hahahaha!" , Xie Guangkun raised his head and laughed.

"I Xie Ji Yinzhuang since the opening of the business, after three generations, has never been robbed, not my Xie boasted, the bandit does not come, if you really dare to come, I discipline him to come and go!"

"Oh?" , Nie Xiaohu suddenly became interested, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did Xie Yuanwai say this?" ”

"Hmm... In this way, let me take you to visit the defense measures of our Xie family! Xie Guangkun stood up with a smile.

"That's fine!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded and stood up as well.

Xie Guangkun led Nie Xiaohu and the others to look from the gatehouse, on the left side of the gate was a row of three gatehouses, and on the right side was a row of shops facing the street, and the four walls were made of large blue bricks, about three meters high, all painted in eye-catching red.

Under the wall is a small river, about two meters wide, the murmuring water in the river is crystal clear, there are colorful koi swimming in the river from time to time, a small bridge and flowing water.

"What are those for?" Cao Xiaohui asked, pointing to the square buildings made of bricks that are one meter high every twenty meters or so by the river.

"That's a kennel!" , Xie Guangkun said with a smile.

"So much?"

"Haha! If any thief climbs over the wall at night, he will be bitten half to death by a dog if he does not fall into the water! Xie Guangkun said with a laugh.

"If more than a dozen vicious dogs pounce on it at once, it's really ......," Cao Xiaohui imagined that scene in her mind, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of spit.

"There are people patrolling the entire courtyard for twelve hours a day, and there are a total of one hundred and twenty martial artists in the courtyard, all of them are skilled, and they are not afraid of the bandits coming, but they are afraid that they will not come!" , Xie Guangkun said proudly.

"Xie Yuanwai, I heard that you still have a silver vault, I guess the bandits are coming for your silver vault, can you let me take a look?" , Nie Xiaohu asked with a smile.

"Of course, please here!"

Nie Xiaohu and others followed Xie Guangkun to the backyard, the center of the backyard is a garden, the garden is full of flowers and trees, there is a rockery in the center of the garden, next to the rockery is a small pavilion, what makes Nie Xiaohu feel strange is that on the left side of the pavilion is a long open space paved with bluestone, which forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding flowers and plants, which seems a little out of place, and the front of the pavilion is a wide avenue, leading directly to the front yard, if you look at it from the air, it is as if a green blanket has been cut.

"This gazebo looks a little weird, there should be a mechanism!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a frown.

"It's worthy of being the head catcher, it's really a torch!" , Xie Guangkun smiled and walked towards the rockery.

I don't know where Xie Guangkun pressed the mechanism on the rockery, but he only heard a "rattling" sound, and the entire pavilion actually began to move laterally, and Shi Yuning and the others were stunned and stunned!

After about a cup of tea, the entire pavilion moved to the bluestone clearing on the left, and a huge hole was revealed on the ground, Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly and walked towards the hole.

When everyone came to the front of the cave, they saw that there was a huge iron door diagonally downward, and there was a palm-sized square iron lock hanging on the iron door, and it was very strange that there were two keyholes on the iron lock.

"This is the Silver Vault!" , Xie Guangkun pointed to the iron gate and said, "The silver collected by Yinzhuang every day will be sent here after closing, and then taken out in the early morning of the next day, how about it, foolproof, right?" Xie Guangkun said with a smile.

"It's really safe enough, this mechanism alone is not made by ordinary people!" , Cao Xiaohui nodded and said.

"Of course! This silver vault was designed and built by my father at a great price by a ghost hand, isn't it a bit of a ghost? Xie Guangkun looked at Tiemen with satisfaction and smiled.

"Ghost in the sky?" , Cao Xiaohui's eyes suddenly widened a lot.

"No wonder!" , Cao Xiaohui couldn't help but nod again and again.

"The defense on the ground is very good, there are basically no loopholes, but what if the thieves dig a tunnel to enter the silver vault?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"Mr. Nie's head hunting is thoughtful!" , Xie Guangkun gave a thumbs up.

"Then I'll open the silver vault and ask Nie Zhutou to take a look at the structure inside, if there are any omissions, please give me some advice!"

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! Nie Xiaohu smiled and waved his hand.

"Please wait a moment!" , Xie Guangkun bowed slightly, turned around and went to the front yard.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xie Guangkun returned, followed by four young and strong subordinates.

"I've kept you waiting!" , Xie Guangkun nodded slightly at everyone, walked straight to the iron door, took out two keys from his arms, and inserted them into two keyholes, one turned to the left, the other turned to the right, and heard a soft "click", and the big iron lock opened.
