Chapter 363: Stepping Stone (9)

The silver vault opened, and more than a dozen catchers rushed inside with torches, illuminating the silver vault brightly, and the scene in front of him made Xie Guangkun stunned, and even Cao Xiaohui was taken aback.

The wall of the treasury facing the gate was gone, behind the wall was a small hall of the same width as the wall, and another passage led to the outside, and a huge iron plate fell to the ground, and the vault was empty, and more than a dozen chests full of silver were all gone!

"It's... This...", Xie Guangkun turned around twice in the silver vault, sweating on his forehead in a hurry, and finally stopped, looking at Nie Xiaohu with blank eyes.

"I'll take someone to chase it!" , Cao Xiaohui raised her eyebrows and rushed towards the passage behind the wall.

"Stop!" , Nie Xiaohu shouted, and Cao Xiaohui and several fast catchers stopped abruptly.

"Follow me!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand and rushed out of the silver vault.

Cao Xiaohui frowned, but she didn't have time to think about it, and rushed out with Nie Xiaohu.

"What are you still doing! All follow up and help! Xie Guangkun's roar came from behind him.

Out of the compound, Nie Xiaohu turned over and shouted, "Follow me to the south of the city!" ”

After saying that, he urged the horse to gallop towards the south, Cao Xiaohui and the others also followed closely, followed by a large group of Xie family guards holding torches, following behind in a mighty manner.

Out of the south city gate, Nie Xiaohu urged the horse to go straight to the Luoshui River, when approaching the river, Nie Xiaohu faintly saw a few bright lights on the river not far away, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed towards those few bright lights.

When they reached the bright spot by the river, they saw that a medium-sized passenger boat had sailed to the center of the river.

"Boatman, row the boat back!" , Nie Xiaohu shouted loudly with all his strength.

The people on the boat didn't seem to hear it, and continued to prop up the boat, and at this time, Cao Xiaohui also rushed to Nie Xiaohu's side with more than ten catchers.

"Rocket!" , Nie Xiaohu stretched out his hand to the side, his eyes fixed on the boat.

A bow and arrow was handed to Nie Xiaohu's hand, Nie Xiaohu took the bow and arrow, and a catcher held a torch and lit the oil twist on the arrow, only to listen to "Whoosh!" With a bang, a fiery red meteor in the darkness went straight to the boat in the center of the river.

"Take!" With a bang, the rocket was nailed to the bow deck, and the people on the deck hurriedly pulled the rocket off and waved their hands towards the shore.

"Don't let go of the arrows! Let's paddle back! Paddle back! ”

Watching the passenger boat slowly turn around in the river, Nie Xiaohu couldn't help but sneer.

The boat slowly approached the shore, and someone in the bow dropped the lead rope, and several catchers pulled the boat to the shore with the lead rope in hand.

"All the people on the boat are coming down for me!" , Nie Xiaohu shouted loudly.

Soon, more than a dozen black shadow fish disembarked from the boat and silently huddled together.

"Which of you is the ship boss?"

"Official, I am!" A middle-aged man stood up with a frightened expression on his face.

"Why didn't you stop the boat when I was shouting?" , Nie Xiaohu asked coldly.

"Official, little... The little one didn't know if it was the official shouting, and thought it was a robber, so he ......"

"What's on board?"

"It's all mountain goods."

"Where?"

"Kaifeng."

"Why do you want to sail in the middle of the night?"

"The owner of the cargo is in a hurry, so I set off in the middle of the night," the ship's boss replied resignedly.

"Brother Tiger, no!" At this time, Cao Xiaohui had already led people to search the entire boat, stood at the bow of the boat and shook her head at Nie Xiaohu, and then jumped back to the shore.

"My lord, we are all people who do our part, and we are all serious business!" , the boat boss said aggrievedly.

Nie Xiaohu ignored it, looked at the more than ten people, and then pointed to a person with his head bowed at the back of the crowd and said, "You, come out!" ”

The dozen or so people didn't move.

"Talk about you! Come out for me! Shi Yuning walked forward quickly and pulled the man out.

A torch shines in front of his face, revealing a familiar face.

"It's you! You're the Taoist! Cao Xiaohui recognized this person at a glance.

"I... I was joking with two adults that day," the man whispered, bowing his head.

"Jokes? I don't think so, right? Shao Shusen! ", Nie Xiaohu said coldly.

As soon as these words came out, the man trembled, and Cao Xiaohui was also taken aback.

"He's Shao Shusen?" , Cao Xiaohui's eyes widened in surprise.

"Just ask him?" , Nie Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, you... Do you know me? Shao Shusen asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, guess", Nie Xiaohu smiled.

"My lord, we really didn't know that he was a traitor, and now that you have been caught, you should let us go, we are still in a hurry", said the captain with a flattering smile.

"Didn't you really find it?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Cao Xiaohui.

"No, it's been searched both on and off the ship", Cao Xiaohui shook her head.

Nie Xiaohu frowned and thought about it, then took a torch from a catcher beside him, walked to the side of the boat, and bent down to take a closer look.

"The draft of this ship has become a lot shallower! Did you just sink something heavy into the river? ”

Nie Xiaohu smiled, but the face of the boat boss changed greatly.

"When the day dawns, send someone into the water to fish, and the things will be at the bottom of the river!"

"It's over!" , the captain of the ship immediately drooped his head.

"Lord Nie!" At this moment, Xie Guangkun arrived panting.

"How's it going, sir? Has the silver been recovered? ”

"It's in the river", Nie Xiaohu pointed to the center of the river and said with a smile, "When it is dawn, we will send someone to salvage!" ”

"What are you waiting for?!" , Xie Guangkun's eyes lit up, and his face suddenly changed to a look of surprise.

"Shoko! Bring someone down for me! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Then there was a "poof!" Poof! More than a dozen descendants of the Xie family didn't care about the cold of the river in October, and jumped into the river one after another like a competition.

When the sky was bright, more than a dozen boxes were salvaged ashore, and Xie Guangkun checked them one by one with a smile.

"That's a lot!" , Xie Guangkun was so happy that his teeth were exposed.

"Mr. Nie, you are really a living bodhisattva for me to save the suffering!"

Nie Xiaohu pursed his mouth: "Hurry up and transport all the silver back, repair the silver vault again, and don't go out of the basket again!" ”

"Of course! Of course! Xie Guangkun nodded hurriedly.

"Let's go! Get back! Xie Guangkun waved at the mighty team.
