Chapter 8: Passage (II)
The bright moon hangs high, the shadow of the tree is mottled, and the tall osmanthus tree in front of Chen Dali's door is like a cover.
In the first two years of his arrival, it was after he had just gotten used to the life of the stars and the moon that he listened to the advice of his subordinates, and just to take the word "expensive", he specially found someone to forcibly move from a common person's house, and was reprimanded by Tang Zhixian for this.
At this time, Yike was pushing a two-wheeled flatbed, and there was a low collision sound behind him from time to time, and Alain on the side was also a sneaky look, the two appeared under the big tree, the two looked at each other, and heard Alain say timidly:
"Are you really going to steal?"
For no other reason, at this time, Yike was taking out two pieces of black cloth from his arms, taking out one of them, and shaking it twice at Alain.
Before coming, Yike disappeared for a while, letting himself wait here, and it didn't take long for this appearance to appear in front of Alain, and it wasn't until he came under the tree that he completely reacted.
"What do you steal or not, why are you talking so hard to hear, didn't you say it, I call it tricking."
Yike choked and covered his face with a black cloth,
"I don't ask if it's stealing, let me ask you, is there your share of this money?"
Alan nodded, if this money exists, he must have his own share.
Seeing this, Yike continued:
"Then I'm getting back the money that belongs to you now, do you agree?"
Before Alan could speak, Yike continued to ask:
"Then I'll help your fellow villagers get their money back, will they refuse?"
Alan nodded stupidly and got back the money that belonged to him, of course no one refused.
Yike shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's it, I've got you now, your consent, do you still think I'm stealing?"
"This ......"
When Alan heard it, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, and he couldn't refute it for a while.
Yike didn't give Alan much time to think at all, and then began to arrange.
"Okay, it's all here, don't think about it, let's get started."
"Open...... Begin? ”
"How do you get started? I haven't done it before! ”
Alan immediately panicked, and hurriedly grabbed Yike's body that was about to move, and asked.
"What are you talking about, I haven't finished my words yet!"
Yike patted the osmanthus tree next to him.
"Will you climb?"
Alain glanced at the thick trunk of the tree, which was just able to wrap his hands around, and couldn't help but shake his head,
"No...... No. ”
"That's easy." Yike squatted down and patted his shoulder,
"Come, step on."
"Ah, that's not ...... Appropriate. ”
Alan instinctively wanted to refuse, such an indecent posture really couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"What? Scared? If you're afraid, just think about your fathers and fellow villagers, how long they can last if they don't take the next meal, and then think about what you have experienced along the way, this feeling of being under the fence is not comfortable..."
Seeing Alan squirming and pinching, Yike was not in a hurry, knowing that it did take a certain amount of courage to let a girl do this kind of behavior, so he just gave a little pressure.
Not to mention, Yike was so stimulated, he saw Alan hesitate for a moment, as if he had made some big determination, and drank softly, "Don't say it, I'm afraid it's not okay." Then he stretched out his leg and stepped onto Yike's shoulder.
Yike effortlessly pushed Alan up, and the height of the two of them was enough for her to reach the lowest branch, and the branch extended above the wall of the Chen Mansion.
Alain sat on a branch, clinging to the trunk of the tree, his eyes closed, and he could see by the moonlight that his petite body was trembling.
Yike also took two steps and kicked it, jumped to Alain's side by the wall, squatted down, and patted the other party's shoulder.
"Just get used to it."
Alain heard Yike's voice appear in his ears, so he tried to open his eyes, looked at Yike, and glanced downward, then quickly withdrew his gaze, and asked in shock:
"Pick up ...... What's next? ”
The corners of Yike's mouth rose slightly, and he said softly:
"It's simple, you just have to wait here."
After speaking, Yike took out two wooden pulleys from his waist, tied the straw rope he carried with him to the branch above his head, and after hanging down naturally through one of the pulleys, he fixed the other pulley on the other side of the branch.
Considering that the theft this time was a disaster relief silver tael, this amount is by no means a few, and there is no danger, so I made enough preparations, and the pulley was also encountered by chance, and I really didn't expect this kind of thing to exist in this place at that time, so I thought of using it.
Besides, Yike didn't expect it in the first place, and all he got on this trip was silver tickets.
After some stumbling operations, the simple pulley set was assembled, and the rope head was handed over to Alain, instructing:
"Pull this one, I'll find an opportunity to transport all the silver taels under the tree as much as I can, and then I'll need your help."
On Alain's side, when he heard that he was going to stay in the tree for a long time, Alain's originally soothing heart was lifted again, but when he thought of his purpose, he had to keep comforting himself.
And the osmanthus tree at this time, although it is not blooming, but it is also luxuriant, if you do not observe carefully, it is enough to cover anyone's eyes, and it is quite safe to stay on the tree.
Without thinking about it anymore, after settling everything, Yike jumped and sneaked into Chen Dali's courtyard.
After the successful landing, Yikexin couldn't help but get nervous, although everything in his memory was really what happened, but after all, what was staying in his body now was a new soul, and the first time he acted, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, patted his chest, and whispered "Zhente Niang's excitement".
After straightening his clothes, he disappeared into the moonlight.
This Chen Dali's residence, although it is not a mansion, but it is less than the above, more than the bottom, although the sparrow is small, it is also complete, the small bridge and flowing water, the pavilions and pavilions are all available, it is hard to imagine that such a dilapidated appearance of the county can find such a courtyard full of elegant style.
If you let Yike find it by himself, as a modern person, he can't find a place where the ancients stored silver taels in his life, and it is not something that can be solved by a passbook.
It is a money cellar used, in the final analysis, it is a cellar opened to hide money, and ordinary people can forget it, just a crockpot can put all the belongings, buried under any place, enough to hide from anyone's sight.
Since it is a money cellar, its secrecy is naturally not to be underestimated, which is why every time a tuo with a Ke is only to steal a certain amount of gold and silver jewelry, because this place is easy to find, most people will carry it with them, in the dead of night, go straight to the bedroom can easily start.
And even if you find the location of the money cellar, it is impossible to steal too much at one time, this silver tael also has weight, which thief would be stupid enough to fly away with dozens of catties or hundreds of catties of silver.
Today's operation is destined to be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
After avoiding the eyes and ears of the housekeepers, Yi Ke was stunned and went back and forth in the front yard and backyard a few times, but did not find any suspicious location, and for a while he couldn't help but question the professionalism of the old monk.
With the help of the lush shrubs, Yike hid behind the rockery, sat on the stone and kept scratching his ears and cheeks, and suddenly had a hint of the urge to give up.
"Zhente Niang's three hundred and sixty lines, it's not easy to work, it's easy to be a beggar in such a comparison!"
Then he sighed and sighed softly,
"Hey, it seems that the preparation is not enough, and you need to step on it more."
So he was about to get up and leave, when suddenly, accompanied by the faint sound of conversation, several messy steps were heard from far and near.
After noticing the abnormal noise, Yike retracted his body and lay motionless behind the rockery, waiting for someone to leave.
As the footsteps approached, I heard a man complaining in a rough voice:
"Eh, really, did you say that the lord made a mistake, and suddenly ordered the firewood room to be sealed, and no one was allowed to approach without permission, really, good firewood is not allowed to be used, let us take turns to go out of the city every day to collect firewood."
"Shhhh One of them was obviously nervous when he heard this, and immediately spoke out to stop him.
"What are you afraid of, there are no outsiders here, eh, you didn't see it that day, there are eleven big boxes, and the firewood room is full of piles, you say, what's in there?"
"Don't say it, hey, sooner or later you will have to be killed, what is there to inquire about, this kind of thing is not something we should know."
After speaking, the footsteps became noticeably hurried.
"Eh, why are you so daring, you can't let me talk about it."
"Wait for me!"
When the voice disappeared, Yike was relieved, exhaled deeply, and the word "firewood room" began to appear in his mind.
Don't......
Is it so sloppy?
However, what Yike doesn't know is that although Chen Dali relied on his brother-in-law to rob the people and save a family business on weekdays, he was a proper nouveau riche in his bones, and he spent as many as he wanted.
It's just that Tang Guanli is more old-fashioned, and he has always regarded himself as honest, and in desperation, this fell into the hands of Chen Dali, although he was reprimanded by Tang Guanli afterwards, in the end, it was Chen Dali's sister Tang Chen who tried her best to force Tang Guanli to reluctantly accept the fact that his brother-in-law was bribed.
Therefore, there will be no money cellar or anything like that in this Chen Mansion, and this firewood house is just a temporary requisition.
With a goal, Yike did not hesitate and began to look for the location of his firewood house.
Fortunately, the place is not big, and soon, Yike appeared outside the firewood room, and at this time the door was empty, and the closed door was installed with a copper lock, Yike couldn't help laughing, isn't this a place without three hundred taels of silver...
As for the copper lock, it can only deceive the illiterate, isn't it just two springs, it is not a precision machine, and the roadside stall has not been studied when I was a child.
After tiptoeing into the firewood room, Yike was really shocked by the boxes piled up like a hill in front of him.
So he stepped forward and weighed it, each box was quite heavy, this calculation, this must be nearly 10,000 taels, which inevitably made Yike feel that his pattern was still small, if these were disaster relief funds, it could only show that the emperor was really willing to spend his blood.
If you come, you will be safe, and then it is time for Yike to really contribute, there is no way, so I have to move box by box.
