Chapter 135: Light Up the City
With the key he got from the room, Yan Liqiang easily opened a small door on the side of the warehouse for inspectors to enter, and entered the warehouse.
Although it was not the first time he had seen those things piled up in the warehouse, when he saw it again, Yan Liqiang was still a little amazed in his heart.
In this warehouse, all kinds of expensive furs are piled up, bear skins, tiger skins, leopard skins, mink skins, are piled up like mountains, many of them are still the fur of exotic beasts, among those furs, the most precious kind of exotic beasts, called the antelope, the fur of the antelope, soft and light, the snow does not fall, the coat made of the fur of the antelope, can be worn through all of a ring, a skin of the antelope, I heard that it is equivalent to the same weight of gold, in this warehouse, the fur of the antelope is piled up with hundreds.
In addition to furs, there are also various medicinal herbs and several precious woods in the warehouse.
These furs, medicinal herbs, and several kinds of expensive timber were all obtained by the Shatu people from the Qiyun Mountains and the Gulang grassland, and these things are also a major item of the Shatu people's foreign trade.
The same stuff is piled up in the warehouse.
Originally, the business of the Shatu people had nothing to do with ordinary people, but in recent years, the Shatu people have become more and more domineering and arrogant in Pingxi City, as long as it is the business they operate, they do not allow others to do it anymore, especially the timber business and fur business. In order to deal with the troublemakers and tolerate the traitors, gradually, the timber and fur business in the entire Pingxi City was almost completely monopolized by the Shatu.
The medicinal material business Shatu people cannot completely monopolize it, that is because the Shatu people themselves know little about medical skills, and the number of medicinal materials produced in Qiyun Mountain and Gulang Grassland is also limited, which cannot fully meet the needs of the city, and this is also related to the livelihood of the people in Pingxi City, and there are many people who operate medicinal materials business in the entire Pingxi County.
Yan Liqiang was familiar with shuttling around the warehouse, and after only a while, he came to an area at the back of the warehouse.
Yan Liqiang pushed away a pile of wooden planks and sacks and other miscellaneous items on the ground, and just below the pile of planks and sundries, an iron ring was exposed, and as soon as the iron ring was pulled up, an entrance to the underground appeared in front of Yan Liqiang's eyes.
In the entire Pingxi City, few Chinese people knew that the Shatu people quietly dug out a huge underground warehouse under this warehouse stacked with goods.
In this underground warehouse, there are weapons, armor, swords and spears, bows and arrows, arrows, rows, piles, bundles, stacks and bundles, stacked and neat, I am afraid that compared to the inventory in the arsenal of the Pingxi City Overseer's Mansion, it is not much better, and it is easy to arm tens of thousands of people.
Yan Liqiang casually picked up a long sword beside him, and at the handle of the long sword, faintly, a special mark could be seen.
The mark mark has been smoothed out a little, but vaguely, it can still be distinguished that the mark and mark is a "Gan" word, which means that this thing, from the artisan battalion in Ganzhou, is an official product, originally these weapons were used to arm the army of the Han Empire in Ganzhou, but for some reason, they fell into the hands of these Shatu people, and were quietly hoarded here by the Shatu people.
This is not only the case on the sword, but also on most of the other weapons, where there are still some traces of grinding.
Although he had long known what the things were piled up here, looking at these things, Yan Liqiang couldn't help but feel a little chilled, and he also knew what it meant.
Last time, when the matter of the Shatu people transporting weapons into the city was exposed, in the end, the matter was also quietly gone, as if it had never appeared, and these Shatu people colluded with these Shatu people to protect these Shatu people, it was not just a county guard Ye Tiancheng of Pingxi County, but involved many important figures in the Ganzhou army and officialdom of the Han Empire, these important people are high and powerful, but I am afraid they have already rotted.
Yan Liqiang shuttled among the piles of weapons, and in the blink of an eye, he came to a row of bow stands with military longbows.
On those bow racks, hundreds of longbows were hung, and those longbows were also ordnance made by the Ganzhou Craftsman Battalion.
Among those longbows, ranging from one stone to four stones, the strongest longbow is only four stones, and for a sergeant who can use a longbow, the one who can draw a four-stone longbow is already considered a bull.
Yan Liqiang chose a four-stone longbow and two full quivers to carry on his back, and then came to the back of this underground warehouse.
At the back of the warehouse, the ground was full of hundreds of large clay pots made of bees, seeing these clay pots, Yan Liqiang didn't say a word, just led a clay pot with one hand, and then quickly walked from the ground to the warehouse above.
Yan Liqiang came to the front of the warehouse, smashed it with his hand, and broke the seal of the clay pot, and immediately, a strange, slightly rosin stimulating smell emanated in the air.
The clay pot is filled with pine oil!
This is the most strictly controlled military materials in the Han Empire, in the Han Empire, in addition to the military, the common people are not allowed to have pine oil at all, because the role of pine oil is to set fire, a little burning, and it is difficult to be extinguished, in addition to the military, ordinary people can not use it, and pine oil is expensive, it is not easy to make, all pine oil workshops are controlled by the military, and there will be no sale on the market.
Looking at these pine oils, who would believe that the Shattu people use these pine oils for barbecue and heating in winter?
Anyway, Yan Liqiang didn't believe it.
After opening the pine oil, Yan Liqiang poured all the two cans of pine oil on the goods and the ground in the warehouse, spilling them everywhere.
After pouring two cans of pine oil, it was not enough, Yan Liqiang quickly ran to the bottom of the warehouse, brought up two more cans of pine oil, continued to open it, continued to pour it everywhere, and poured it everywhere.
Yan Liqiang went back and forth, it took more than 20 minutes to carry more than 30 cans of pine oil up, and poured the top of the warehouse everywhere, the last time, he also directly broke all the pine oil cans in the underground warehouse, so that the pine oil in the underground warehouse, all the flow out, he carried a pine oil can, while sprinkling, while walking backwards from the underground warehouse, so that all the pine oil sprinkled on the ground was connected.
At this time, in the entire warehouse, the smell of pine oil almost choked the rats.
Yan Liqiang retreated to the side door of this warehouse, smashed the pine oil tank in his hand, and then took out the fire fold he was carrying, opened the fire fold, and threw the fire fold on the ground of the warehouse - just in an instant, a tongue of fire flew up from the ground, and in just a few seconds, the tongue of fire ran out dozens of meters away, like dominoes, igniting the entire warehouse ground......
Looking at the burning warehouse floor, as soon as Yan Liqiang turned around, he rushed to the edge of the courtyard wall, like a night owl, and in the blink of an eye, he climbed out of the courtyard wall and disappeared into the darkness.
Yan Liqiang walked quickly through the alleyway, just two minutes, he was already far away from the warehouse, he was thousands of meters away, he looked back, the warehouse side, the red light reflected the sky, and it had completely burned.
There is a big mansion in front, and there are a few camphor trees with lush branches and leaves on the side of the street not far from the mansion, Yan Liqiang rushed to the bottom of the tree, like a monkey, and instantly stepped on the trunk and rushed to a pile of branches and leaves on the camphor tree, hiding himself.
Finally, after only a short while, the fire that rose to the sky was seen by the entire Pingxi City, and the gathering of the entire Shatu people also instantly became noisy, and the long-lost and dense gongs and drums began to sound in the quiet night......
