"Uncle, look!"

Jia Jue followed Niu Er's finger and saw that there was a water tank next to the haystack next to the stable water tank, which was placed very reasonably.

Jia Jue waved his hand, and immediately went up to a few pro-soldiers, moved the water tank away, under the guidance of the gambling house boy, the pro-soldiers lifted the stone slab under the water tank, and there was really a dark passage below, only to hear someone inside whispering in the grassland dialect: "Chief, is it you?" ”

Jia Jue gave Niu Er a look, Niu Er grabbed the collar of the little guy and glared at him viciously, the little guy swallowed his saliva, looked at the Ming army around him who was holding the handle of the knife, and had to step forward and said: "Deputy leader, the leader was taken away by the Ming army officers, and the leader asked you to leave the city immediately." ”

In a moment, a middle-aged man emerged from the tunnel, and as soon as he appeared, he was firmly pressed to the ground by a group of pro-soldiers, bound his hands and feet, and gagged him, and the leader stared angrily at the little guy, if the eyes could kill, the little guy had died thousands of times at this moment.

Jia Jue walked over, glanced up and down at the leader, and said to Jia Gui: "You take someone down to have a look, bring everything up, and don't let go of a piece of paper." ”

After a while, the courtyard was filled with more than ten wooden boxes of all sizes, Jia Gui pointed to those big boxes and said with a smile: "Third master, guess what's inside?" ”

"Gold, silver, jewelry?"

"Almost."

Jia Gui opened a gap in a large box, Jia Jue got closer and took a closer look, only to see that all the gold ingots inside, a trace of excitement shot out of his eyes, and he suddenly asked, "How many of these boxes are?" ”

"It's all!"

Jia Gui couldn't hold back the excitement on his face.

"How much gold is there?"

"Ten taels of gold ingots, fifty taels on one floor, a total of three layers, there are five boxes here, a total of seven thousand five hundred taels of gold."

Jia Gui moved a small wooden box again, opened it, and said, "This box is full of silver tickets, not much, more than 30,000 taels." ”

Jia Jue pondered for a moment and then asked, "What's in those little boxes?" ”

"It's all jewelry, and by the way, a book."

"Books?"

Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to turn out the book in Jia Gui's mouth, opened it, looked at it, nodded and stuffed it into his arms.

Jia Gui: "Third Master, what should I do?" Do you have to hand over these possessions? ”

Jia Jue walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then said: "This is Shenjing, so many boxes can't hide the eyeliner of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Sihailou has been operating in Shenjing for twenty or thirty years, it is impossible to just have such a little family background, there must be hidden elsewhere." ”

Speaking of this, he said to a few soldiers behind him: "Find a carriage and send all these boxes to the palace and hand them over to Chief Dai." ”

At this time, Niu Er hurriedly walked towards Jia Jue with a blood-stained piece of paper.

Walking in front of him, Niu Er reported in a low voice: "Uncle, the deputy leader has been recruited." ”

As he spoke, he handed the confession to Jia Jue.

Jia Jue took the confession and glanced at it, looking at Niu Er suspiciously, "Qingxuguan? ”

Niu Er: "Back to Uncle, I have asked about all the humble positions, and I am in the manor at the foot of Qingxuguan." ”

Jia Jue nodded at this time, and handed the confession to Jia Gui, "Go, ask carefully." ”

"Yes."

Jia Gui answered, turned around and strode away.

Jia Jue stood there silently, motionless.

Niu Er stood beside Jia Jue with the handle of the knife in his hand.

There was silence.

"These sluts really can't help but fight, and they died in just two clicks, waste!"

After a while, Jia Gui walked over scoldingly.

Jia Jue: "Asked clearly?" ”

"The man was accidentally killed!"

Jia Gui knelt straight to the ground: "The little incompetence has delayed the big thing, please punish the third master." ”

Niu Er spoke at this time, "Uncle, this matter is to blame for being too heavy." ”

Jia Jue glanced at Niu Er, turned his head to Jia Gui and said, "Get up, leave fifty people to deal with the aftermath, and the rest will continue to search, you and I will go to the barracks!" ”

.........

There are three Zhuangzi at the foot of Qingxuguan Mountain, one is a naturally formed village of the common people, one is the grange that the emperor rewarded to the Jia family at the beginning, and there is a manor less than two miles away from Qingxuguan.

In less than an hour, the cavalry of the 3,000 Ruishi battalion rushed to Qingxuguan, the overwhelming cavalry occupied the official road, the iron cavalry hit the ground like a torrential rain, and the earth was also shocked, when the cavalry roared past from the foot of Qingxuguan Mountain, the Taoist priest at the mountain gate and the high-ranking officials who came to burn incense and pray for blessings were frightened and changed their faces and panicked.

It didn't take long for the manor in the distance to be faintly visible.

"Master, the manor is ahead."

A scout from the Jia family scout camp pointed ahead and whispered.

There was a dog barking in the manor, and the sound of horses' hooves alarmed them, and they saw someone walking out of the manor, and when they saw that the black ground was full of Ming troops, they were so frightened that they hurriedly ran back.

"Block back and forth, don't let one go, kill all the aliens!"

Jia Jue pointed at the manor in front of him with a whip, and said coldly: "Kill!" ”

The momentum formed by the three thousand cavalry was earth-shattering and dusty, and just as the cavalry was about to approach the manor, the guerrilla general Wang An gave the order to shoot, "Release the rocket!" ”

A rocket rose into the air, with a blazing flame to the manor, suddenly, the manor was on fire, the fire borrowed the wind, the more it burned, the more people in the manor began to run out, the Ming army arrows rained down, in a moment, more than a dozen people who escaped were all shot dead.

The fire burned more and more, and the Warats in the manor were cornered, crying and pleading, mixed with the neighing of horses....

At this time, Niu Er stepped forward and shouted: "Listen, take off your shirt, raise your hands above your head and come out, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

"Spare your life! Spare your life! ”

After a while, more than 30 men walked out with their hands raised and their shirts, trembling one by one, until they walked to Niu Er's mount, knelt down, and the person at the head was an old man, and said in a low voice: "The military master spares his life!" We are all local villagers, and we are all forced. ”

Niu Er glanced at him, pointed to several burly people in the crowd, and said, "Pull down for interrogation!" ”

Immediately rushed out of dozens of soldiers to tie up these people and arrest them, the old man trembled with fright, he thought that the Ming army would directly order the beheading after discovering these Warats, but he didn't expect to be interrogated, didn't this interrogation reveal himself?

After a while, an officer came over and whispered a few words in Niu Er's ear, Niu Er smiled coldly, leaned over and asked the old man: "Old thing, do you say it yourself, or do I ask you to say it!" ”

"Master Jun spares his life, I.... I...."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Niu Er ordered: "Tie up this traitor!" ”

At this time, Niu Er turned over and dismounted, pulled out the saber at his waist, walked in front of the old man, and suddenly turned around and slashed a man who was kneeling on the ground, "Do you want to say it?" ”

He slashed five or six men who fell to the ground with his sword, and the rest of them turned and fled in fright, but some of the soldiers had already blocked their way and pressed them to the ground and tied them up.

At this time, Jia Jue drove his horse over, pointed at the horsewhip, and said, "All cut down!" ”

Dozens of pro-soldiers rushed out behind him, like chickens, and carried these people aside, the old man was so frightened that he sat on the ground, trembling all over, "The general spares his life!" I say! I'll say it all! ”

Niu Er: "Tell me quickly, where are the Warat people?" ”

The old man lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Half an hour ago, three people escaped from Shenjing, saying that Sihailou was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and there was a risk of exposure. The big boss, they were shot dead by the military masters just now. ”

"In which direction did you flee?"

"This little old man doesn't know, but I know where their stuff is hidden."

"Tell me, where?"

The old man looked at Jia Jue, "General, the little old man is really persecuted, please raise your noble hand and surround my life." ”

Jia Jue glanced at Niu Er, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you go." ”

"General, the Warats will secretly transport the belongings of the Sihai Building through the Xibian Gate every month, and then some of them will be stored in the secret room of the manor, some will be sent to the mansions of various officials, and the other part will be sent to the city and stored in the pawnshop."

"Pawnshop?"

Jia Jue slowly straightened up and asked, "Which pawnshop?" ”

At this moment, Wang An hurriedly walked towards Jia Jue with a box in his hand, "Dashuai, this is from a Tatar who was shot to death." ”

As he spoke, he handed the box to Jia Jue.

Jia Jue opened the box, first took out a letter, the envelope read: 'Mr. Lu personally opened', and the payment was Zhu Houze, that is, this is Zhu Houze's handwritten letter, open it and look closely, Jia Jue smiled, it turned out that this is a letter written by Zhu Houze to Lu Nansheng, the right attendant of the ministry, it is estimated that Zhu Houze does not know that Lu Nansheng is no longer the left waiter of the military department, and he is also called Zuo Shilang in the letter.

The letter said two things, first, he thanked him for helping the coalition forces capture Zhangjiakou Fort, and said that he would be paid 100,000 taels. As for the second thing, Jia Jue was shocked into a cold sweat, it was what he was worried about, Zhu Houze stared at the firearms drawings and craftsmen of the Hyogo Division, hoping that Lu Nansheng could help him, and promised a reward of 300,000 taels.

After reading this letter, Jia Jue finally understood why Zhangjiakou Fort fell so easily, it turned out to be Lu Nansheng's ghost, nodded and stuffed the letter into his arms.

Then he took out another pawn ticket and took a closer look, 'Heng Shudian', this is not the Xue family's newly opened pawnshop, how could it be there?

Looking at the old man suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”

The old man: "General Hui, this is what the leader of Sihailou meant, he said that the pawnshops in the West City are inextricably linked with the civilian officials, and once the other party turns his face, it will be troublesome, and it just so happens that this newly opened pawnshop has a relationship with the noble military, so all the things are stored there." ”

Jia Jue nodded, stuffed the pawn ticket into his arms, and then said, "You can go." ”

"Thank you, General! Thank you, General! ”

The old man kowtowed to Jia Jue excitedly, turned around and crawled out, but Niu Er slowly pulled out the Yanling knife, and when the old man crawled past Niu Er, he suddenly grabbed the old man's hair and said viciously: "Old thing, let you go, but I didn't say let you go alive!" ”

As he spoke, he chopped off his head with a knife.

Jia Jue shouted: "Kill!" ”

Dozens of pro-soldiers swung their knives, and suddenly the heads of those men fell to the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.....
