Yang Peng returned to the mansion. Xue Fu immediately greeted him, hugged his fists and said, "Master, Miss Han Bing is gone." "Gone? Where did it go? Xue Fu shook his head, "She didn't say anything, she just asked the villain to say goodbye to the master on her behalf." Yang Peng sighed a little melancholy, "There is a ...... between me and her, so it's okay to leave." Then he walked down the hall. As soon as he came to the hall and sat down, a secret guard rushed in and reported: "Liu Daguan is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Liu Ping, who was dressed as a wealthy businessman, walking in quickly. Seeing Yang Peng, he hugged his fists and bowed: "Little brother to meet the city lord." Yang Peng smiled: "You're here?" I was about to send for you. How are things going? "The younger brother is here to report the progress of the matter to the eldest brother. Things went very well, we claimed to dig a lotus pond to the outside world, and no one doubted our actions. ”

Yang Peng nodded, thought for a moment, and raised his head, "You have to pay attention to one point, don't contact with people over there too often, and pay attention to hiding your identity." "Little brother understands." Yang Peng asked, "According to the current progress, how long will it take to complete?" Shi En said: "It is estimated that it will be completed within half a month." Yang Peng waved his hand, "Don't be in such a hurry, you have to pay extra attention after crossing the street, don't do construction during the day and at night, so as not to be noticed by them." Tell the people over there to report the situation immediately. "Yes."

Yang Peng returned to the mansion, and as soon as he sat down, Liu Ping hurriedly came. "Big brother, the tunnel has been dug through!" Liu Ping said excitedly. Yang Peng's eyes lit up, "Did you go in?" "Just now, the junior brother walked along the tunnel and entered Master Pang's warehouse."

Yang Peng laughed, "Okay! That's great! After a pause, he turned his head to Yang Jiumei and said, "Ninth sister, go and call Zhang Yan and Zhang Yan to me." Yang Jiumei answered and ran down. ……

The next night, in the courtyard north of Master Pang's mansion, there were no lights, but countless people were busy in the dark, and they kept carrying out the big boxes one by one from the tunnel, the boxes were very heavy, and the two strong men looked very difficult to lift. Hundreds of people were busy until the rooster crowed. After dawn, the earth-moving cart came out of the courtyard according to the tarpaulin as usual, and went out of the city, and in the convoy, Shi Jin followed in the costume of an ordinary servant.

The earthmoving convoy came to the city gates. At this time, the sergeant at the city gate was checking the passing pedestrians, which was customary, and the sergeant guarding the city gate had the right to inspect anyone and anything entering or leaving the capital. The gate captain stared at the slowly approaching earthmoving convoy. The convoy stopped. The handlebar greeting the captain, who nodded and let him go without asking for inspection. It turned out that in the past few days, the captain of the city gate has often seen them carry out the soil, and he has long been accustomed to seeing them, so he has not taken their actions out of the city to heart today, and there is a more important point, these days, this captain has eaten a lot of benefits, so naturally he will not come to check.

The convoy left the city smoothly and quickly came to a forest more than ten miles away from the city gate. A large procession of wagons was already waiting here. Chen Jie immediately ordered everyone to lift the tarpaulin on the earth-truck, revealing countless large boxes. Immediately, everyone started to transfer all the large boxes on the earth-carrying cart to the carriage. Then Chen Jie led the convoy out of the woods and marched quickly to the northeast. Others returned to the capital in a cart of earth. ……

Wang Qinruo sighed: "Master Taishi's gift must be a treasure of the world, and it will definitely make Your Majesty's face happy!" We can also take the opportunity to feast our eyes! Master Pang laughed, stroked the long hair under his chin and said, "You don't have to wait until that day, I will open your eyes today!" Wang Qinruo and the others showed a flattered look, and got up one after another to worship: "Thank you Taishi for your love!" Master Pang smirked.

The Li Yuhou who went to get the treasure stumbled in and ran in in a panic, clenched his fists and said, "No, it's not good, it's all gone!" Master Pang was inexplicable, and said angrily: "What's wrong, what's missing?" Li Yuhou swallowed, "The treasure house, the treasures of the treasure house are all gone!" Master Pang was shocked, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "What nonsense, how can it be gone!" ”

"The villain doesn't dare to talk nonsense. The villain was ordered by Enxiang to take people to the treasure house to extract blood jade coral, but as soon as he opened the door of the treasure house, he found that the entire treasure house was empty! Master Pang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly ran out of the study and ran towards the treasure house. The others hurried to follow. When I came to the gate of the treasure house, I saw all the guards in charge of guarding the treasure house kneeling on both sides of the gate, looking panicked.

Master Pang hurriedly rushed into the treasure house and was completely stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. The treasure trove, which was originally full, was empty, there was nothing left, and it was very clean. Master Pang almost fainted, "What, how can this be?" Li Yuhou hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "That's how it was when the villain came." ”

also shouted angrily: "Zhang Jue! Zhang Jue! "Zhang Jue, the captain of the guards in charge of guarding the treasure house. A capable man in armor rushed in and crawled in, lying down in front of Master Pang, trembling all over. Master Pang shouted angrily and asked, "Come and tell me, what is going on?" Where are all the treasures? ”

Zhang Jue hurriedly said: "Villain, villain doesn't know!" Master Pang was simply mad, and his fingers trembled and pointed at Zhang Jue: "Waste! Rubbish! What the hell am I raising you all this waste! ......" Zhang Jue was scared to death, feeling that he was in trouble.

Lin Te came to Taishi Pang and whispered, "Taishi, let's calm down for the time being." There is no way that so much treasure will be lost, someone must have stolen it! The first priority is to act quickly to find the thief and the treasure! Search now, and you might find some clues. ”

Master Pang nodded thoughtfully, looked at Zhang Jue who was kneeling in front of him, and shouted, "Come on, lock him up for me." Immediately, a few guards came in and put Zhang Jue out, and Zhang Jue begged for mercy one by one: "Taishi, the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged......"

Master Pang snorted, scolded a few words angrily, and then turned his head to Li Yuhou and said, "Let the guards carefully search the treasure house inside and out." Li Yuhou agreed, ran out, and beckoned the guards to search. The guards immediately searched everywhere.

Suddenly, a guard searching in the warehouse shouted, "Master, there is a tunnel here!" When everyone heard this, they immediately ran over, and saw that the huge green bricks on the floor had been pried up, revealing a hole almost four feet square, a black hole, and they didn't know how deep it was and where it led.

Everyone felt very incredible, and the anxious Master Pang even wanted to go down and check. Wang Qinruo hurriedly grabbed Taishi Pang, "Taishi, don't be impatient. Maybe the thief hasn't left yet, and I'm afraid that he will encounter danger if he rushes over! Master Pang thought so, turned his head and ordered Li Yuhou: "Immediately gather all the guards and enter the tunnel to pursue." Li Yuhou promised and ran down.

A moment later, nearly a thousand guards in the Taishi Mansion were summoned, and Yuguan entered the tunnel. Master Pang waited anxiously at the entrance of the cave. Finally, Li Yuhou came out, hugged his fists and said: "Taishi, this tunnel actually passes through the street and leads to the Wu Mansion across the street. "That deserted mansion was originally the mansion of Wu Hou, the servant of the door, so many people still call it Wu Mansion.

"Have you found the treasure and the thief?" Master Pang asked urgently. "No treasure was found, no people were seen, nothing was found." Turning his gaze to Shangjing, Chen Jie's escort convoy finally arrived in Zhuozhou. Zhuozhou, the gateway to the south of Tianjing, now Yang Peng's money and grain are secretly stored here, and this has become Yang Peng's secret base camp.

Chen Jie and the brothers met, and both of them were very happy and greeted each other. Duan Zhixian asked impatiently, "Chen Jie, how is the situation with the eldest brother?" All the brothers showed a look of concern. Chen Jie smiled: "Big brother, everything is fine!" When the brothers heard this, they all relaxed a little, and Duan Zhixian said angrily: "How good can it be to be under house arrest in the capital by the dog emperor!" Raised his eyebrows, "I said why should we be so wronged, it's better to go and bring the eldest brother back immediately, and simply turn against the fuck!" ”

Liu Zhiliang said: "Brother Duan, don't be impatient. The eldest brother has his own plans for this matter, we just follow the instructions of the eldest brother, and we must not be reckless and ruin the eldest brother's plan! Everyone nodded. Duan Zhixian let out a sigh of annoyance. Li Xu glanced at the big boxes that were being carried into the warehouse, and asked curiously, "How much did you get from Master Pang?" ”

Chen Jie turned his head to take a look, shook his head and said, "I was in a hurry to transfer it out, and I didn't have time to count it." Duan Zhixian said angrily: "Then hurry up and count!" Then he shouted at the officers who had been prepared for a long time and were proficient in numeracy and accounting: "What are you still doing in a daze? Go do your thing! Calculate it clearly for the Sprinkle family, this is the property of the eldest brother, don't make a mistake! Several officers quickly answered and rushed into the warehouse.

Chen Jie took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Zhiliang, "Zhiliang, this is the handwritten letter that the eldest brother asked me to hand over to you." Liu Zhiliang hurriedly took the letter, opened it, and read it carefully. Duan Zhixian asked anxiously, "What did the eldest brother say?" ”

Liu Zhiliang said with a smile: "The eldest brother said that we can discuss with Qian Lotian about using this money, and we can use it how we want, and we don't need to save money for him." The crowd laughed. Duan Zhixian asked urgently, "Did the eldest brother say when he would come back?" Liu Zhiliang frowned and shook his head, "The eldest brother didn't say anything about this, only explained the next move." Turning his head to Li Xu, he said, "General Li Xu," he said and handed over the letter in his hand, "This is the task assigned to you by the eldest brother." Li Xu hurriedly took the letter, read it, and said in surprise: "Do this?!" ”

Liu Zhiliang frowned and said: "It must be that the imperial court still doesn't plan to let the eldest brother come back, so the eldest brother has no choice but to let us take such an action to further put pressure on the imperial court!" Duan Zhixian asked angrily: "What did the eldest brother let Brother Li Xu do?" Li Xu said: "The eldest brother asked me to lead a team of cavalry dressed as Liao cavalry to attack the northern part of Shangjing. ”

Everyone looked surprised. At dinner that day, the officers who had gone to count the spoils of war returned, and the officer headed by the officer reported to everyone with an excited face: "Enlighten the generals, we have already counted the number......

"How much?" Duan Zhixian hurriedly asked. The officer opened the register in his hand and said excitedly: "All the gold and silver treasures are worth six million three hundred and thirty-seven thousand eight hundred and ninety-three taels of silver...... As soon as they heard this amount, everyone was dumbfounded, Duan Zhixian shouted at the top of his voice: "So many?!" Did you say it wrong? ”

The officer shook his head and said, "We have checked twice, and it is indeed six million three hundred and thirty-seven thousand eight hundred and ninety-three taels of silver, absolutely not wrong!" Everyone was stunned for a while before they came back to their senses, and Shi Jin exclaimed: "His grandmother's, there are so many!" Liu Zhiliang frowned and said: "This big corrupt official is really rich and rivals the country!" I don't know how he managed to get so much money!? ”

Duan Zhixian laughed and said, "No matter how he got it, it's all ours now anyway!" Haha, although these guys are hateful, they suddenly feel that it would be great if every corrupt official was so rich! ”

The crowd laughed. The officer said, "Generals, the villain hasn't finished yet." The crowd looked at him in bewilderment. The officer glanced at the register in his hand and said, "What I just said is only the value of gold and silver treasures. But there are still some things, those antique calligraphy and paintings, we don't know much about it, we don't know how much it is worth. ”

Duan Zhixian glared and asked, "There are also antique calligraphy and paintings?" The officer nodded, "Not only, but there are many, most of them are from the Tang Dynasty, and there are also some from other dynasties, but we don't know much about antique calligraphy and painting, so we can't estimate the value." ”

Duan Zhixian patted his bald head and smiled excitedly: "Oh, this Master Pang is really generous to us!" I want to kiss him twice! The crowd burst out laughing. Liu Zhiliang instructed the officer: "Store those antique calligraphy and paintings and gold, silver and jewelry separately." The officer answered and ran down. Liu Zhiliang turned around and said to Da Lang: "Brother Li Xu, you will rush back to the capital tomorrow and inform the eldest brother of the situation here." Li Xu nodded. ……

Chen Jie rushed back to the capital and reported the situation to Yang Peng. When Yang Peng heard about the value of the treasure, he showed a look of great surprise and said with a smile: "Okay, with such a treasure, we don't have to worry about money in a few years!" Haha, Master Pang has really helped us a lot! It's a pity that I can't thank him in person, otherwise I would have to thank him properly! Chen Jie, Zhang Yan, and Liu Ping all laughed.

At the same time, in the Taishi Mansion, the atmosphere was very depressing. Master Pang sat at the top, his expression was cloudy, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes showed the urge to kill from time to time. Kaifeng Mansion Yin stood in the middle, and several of Pang Taishi's cronies sat on both sides.

Master Pang glanced at Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and asked angrily, "What are you doing with Kaifeng Mansion Yin?" It's been so many days, and I haven't even caught half of the thieves! Kaifeng Mansion Yin's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "I have really done my best!" We followed the clues all the way to Jingxi Road, but all the clues disappeared on Jingxi Road, and we didn't know where the thief would go next! It can be seen that the thieves not only made careful planning in advance, but also showed that the thieves were definitely not ordinary bandits, they must have unimaginable strength and efficiency, otherwise it would never be possible to make so many treasures disappear without a trace in such a short period of time! ……”

Master Pang waved his palm impatiently, "Don't talk this nonsense to me!" I'll give you another half a month, if you still can't catch the thief and can't find the treasure, don't do it, you, Kaifeng Mansion Yin! ”

Kaifeng Mansion Yin was terrified. "Get out of here!" Yin Rumeng of Kaifeng Mansion was amnestied, and hurriedly saluted Master Pang and left in a hurry.

Master Pang only felt a splitting headache, and couldn't help but rub his temples with his hands. Wang Qinruo hugged his fists and said: "Taishi doesn't have to worry too much!" With the status of the etheric master, I believe that it will not be long before I can make up for the loss! ”

Master Pang became anxious and couldn't wait to get down the hole. Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed. A large group of people rushed out from the exit and had already arrived in the garden of the Wu Mansion. It was a long-abandoned garden, with a dry and overgrown lake in the middle, a thatched pavilion on the left shore, and a tall pavilion on the shore of the lake in the distance, but it had collapsed to the point of no energy. The exit of the tunnel is on the right side of the lakeshore, and many guards of the Taishi Mansion are scattered throughout the garden, searching carefully.

Pang Taishi glanced at the mansion of his former political enemy, and couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart. His thoughts quickly returned to the matter in front of him, and asked Li Yuhou: "Didn't you find anything?" Li Yuhou clasped his fists and said: "It has been searched everywhere, it is very deserted, as if no one has ever come, and no trace of the treasure chest has been found." ”

Master Pang was furious, "Damn! Damn it! Could it be that the thief will not be able to fly? Will so much treasure disappear into thin air? You, dig three feet into the ground, and you have to find them out for this master! Li Yuhou hurriedly agreed and ran down. Wang Qinruo came to Taishi Pang and whispered: "Taishi, I'm afraid the thieves have already evacuated, but I'm afraid there won't be anything to be gained by looking here." ”

Taishi Pang nodded, and said to Yang Jian: "You immediately go to the Kaifeng Mansion, and investigate with the prefect of the whole city, if anyone can provide clues to the whereabouts of the thief, this Taishi will ensure that he will be promoted and make a fortune!" Wang Qinruo promised and ran down.

Master Pang looked at the deserted courtyard in front of him, and his heart was extremely anxious, the property he had accumulated with great difficulty over the decades was actually wiped out overnight, just like a dream! Who did it? Who exactly? Master Pang couldn't wait to break the thief hidden in the darkness into pieces!

However, the mastermind behind the scenes was standing in the attic of his mansion at the moment, looking at the hustle and bustle in the capital with the mentality of watching a play, Zhang Yan and Liu Ping were standing on either side of him. Yang Peng smiled: "It's so lively! Zhang Yan smiled, and Liu Ping said with some concern: "I don't know if they will investigate anything?" ”

Yang Peng patted Liu Ping's shoulder, "Don't worry, all the clues have been erased by us, they can't investigate anything, they are just busy in vain." What I want to know most now is, how much did we gain this time? ”

Zhang Yan said: "At that time, I was in a hurry to transfer out, and there was no statistics, and the specific amount will not be known until Da Lang returns, but it is estimated that the value will not be less than three million taels of silver." Yang Peng nodded. He glanced at the busy scene in the city again, and clapped his hands, "Lunch should be ready, go eat lunch." Soon after, Yang Peng, Zhang Yan, Liu Ping, and Yang Peng's women sat around a big round table eating, drinking, and chatting, and enjoyed themselves. It's a very different scene from the hustle and bustle outside.

Yang Peng and his entourage stayed day and night, and two days later, in the evening, the group was still on the official road. At this time, the rolling green hills had turned into indistinct shadows, and the trees on both sides swayed and rustled in the wind, like restless monsters; There is not a single pedestrian on the official road, and there seems to be only Yang Peng and a dozen of them in heaven and earth, and there is loneliness.

Suddenly, the sound of a fight came from the front. Everyone reined in their horses and followed the prestige, only to see that on the side of the official road in front of them, more than a dozen black-clothed masked people were besieging a person. Yang Peng frowned, rode his horse and galloped up, and everyone followed.

More than a dozen people slammed into the battle circle and killed five or six black-clothed masked men at once. The black-clothed masked people were shocked, and hurriedly retreated to one place, and the one led by pointed a knife at Yang Peng and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Yang Peng said coldly: "Don't leave your mouth alive!" The guards immediately took out the crescent moon flying blade and threw it, and the black-clothed masked people fell to the ground one after another, and the few who did not die were shocked and hurriedly turned around and fled. Chen Jie led a few hidden killers to chase after him, only to see the sword light flying, and the remaining black-clothed masked people were also cut to the ground! At this point, more than a dozen black-clothed masked men have all been killed!

Yang Peng turned over and dismounted, walked to the person who was besieged by the man in black, helped her up, and asked with a smile, "Are you okay?" "Guess who this person is? Hehe, it's actually Han Bing. Her face was a little pale, she was dressed in a black samurai suit, her toned and charming figure was on display, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and the sword in her hand was stained with blood.

Han Bing nodded, glanced at the corpses of the black-clothed people around him, and said with trepidation: "If you hadn't arrived in time, I would definitely die here!" Yang Peng took a closer look at her and saw that there were no scars on her body, so he relieved himself. Glancing at the corpses of the black-clothed people around him, he asked, "Who is chasing you?" Han Bing frowned and shook his head.

At this time, Chen Jie came over and handed an iron plate to Yang Peng, "This was found on those killers." Yang Peng took the iron card and looked at it, frowned and said, "This is the customs clearance token of the Taishi Mansion." ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
