Next to the gate of Yangzhou Beishi City, there is a quality warehouse covering an area of ​​about five acres, called the Daolin Quality Warehouse.

The quality warehouse was the later pawn shop.

The name of this quasi-currency library is a bit weird, but many people know that this is a store opened by the Maitreya Cult, named after their former leader Sun Daolin.

The quality warehouse is naturally a major place for storing money. At night, seven warriors were stationed in the store to guard it, but this was the Maitreya store. At least in the Jianghuai area, no one dared to make any idea.

"The store is closed!"

The manager shouted, and the warriors carried more than a dozen large boxes into the warehouse.

The two managers checked it out correctly and signed a order.

The big iron door closed with a bang, tied it tightly with iron chains, and two large locks were hung. The two keys must be sent to the Maitreya Cultivator Headquarters on the same day, and the keys will be retrieved the next day.

Five warriors guarded the manager and sent the keys to the headquarter.

At this time, the night had just begun to fall, and a black shadow was ambushed on the roof. After observing for about half an hour, the black shadow disappeared.

In Li Xiu's room, Pei Min drew a sketch for Li Xiu.

"The warehouse covers an area of ​​about three acres, not an underground warehouse. It is all made of bluestone, without windows, only an iron door, with two large iron chain locks on it. The key is sent to the head of the Maitreya Cult by the warrior every evening, here!"

Pei Min drew a large mansion three miles south along the Caohe River. "This is the headquarters of Maitreya, about three miles away from the quality warehouse. There are shops by the river along the way, with a large flow of people, so it is not easy to grab the keys."

"Is the water gate in Taipei City closed at night?" Li Xiu asked again.

"The water gate is not closed at night, and the shops are basically purchased at night, and the river is quite lively."

Speaking of this, Pei Min said again: "Weizhi thinks that the best time is when they count their property. At that time, the warehouse gate opened, half of the warriors were in the warehouse, and half of the warriors were in the yard, and the guys had already gone home."

Zi Linfeng sat next to him and was confused. She was the headmaster. Why did she feel that she was planning a robbery in the store?

Zi Linfeng couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Your Highness, please allow me to ask, are we planning to grab this store?"

Li Xiu smiled and said, "I suspect that the tax money missing from the court may be hidden in the Maitreya sect's quality warehouse. We must go into the warehouse for detailed investigation. If we find out, we will transport it away directly."

Zi Linfeng suddenly realized that it was investigating the case.

"If there were only ten warriors, then thirty of us would be enough to deal with it."

Li Xiu shook his head: "There is not too many people who take action. The key is that it takes people to carry the boxes, and we don't have enough time. Once the other party has not received the key for a long time, we will send someone to check it out. So we only have half an hour at most. First, we need to prepare two cargo ships and leave the city before the water city gate is closed."

Zhong Kui said: "I am responsible for renting the boats. The key is to give me the route and time."

Li Xiu nodded, "I'll walk around in the field tomorrow, and the plan will come out. Today is mainly about division of labor, formulating a rough plan, preparing for one day tomorrow, and taking action the day after tomorrow!"

………………

Li Xiu left Zhong Kui again, "It is not convenient to stay in an inn and it is easy to be discovered. I thought it would be better to rent a house, not to be luxurious, but it must be large in area and many houses. It is best to check out several buildings in the southwest where the poor are concentrated. If there is time, I want to move there tomorrow."

"I will go find a house after I finalize the ship tomorrow. There should be no big problem, just find a broker."

Zhong Kui left, Xiaomei asked, "Everyone has something to do, so what should I do?"

"You follow me tomorrow, let's take a boat around!"

………………

The next morning, Li Xiu put on a mask and took Xiaomei to enter Yangzhou City from outside the North City.

Li Xiu was wearing a long blue satin gown, a leather belt on his waist, a flat scarf on his head, a folding fan in his hand, and a gorgeous long sword around his waist.

His appearance is a little bit vicissitudes, like a rich young man from the north who came to Yangzhou for a trip. Even the boatman thought he had just come to Yangzhou from Chang'an.

The passenger ship was slowly walking in the Caohe River, with small boats parked on both sides, and the river channel in the middle was about one meter wide.

On the left shore are private houses, with brick houses and mud houses mixed together, which are a little messy. From time to time, you can see women squatting in front of the steps to wash laundry and pick vegetables.

On the right shore is a long stone street, and next to the street are shops. The crowds of people on the stone street are endless, and the hawking sounds from the shops are coming one after another, which is quite lively.

Above the Caohe River are big and vigorous trees, lush and green, with ancient stone bridges hidden under the shade of the trees. Many old people sit on the bridge, staring at the long-standing Caohe River, recalling their childhood.

Less than two miles away, a cross appeared in the Caohe River.

"Is it the fork in front that is going eastward? Is it a Taipei City?" Li Xiu pointed with a folding fan and asked with a smile.

"That's right! Is the young master going to Taipei City?"

"Then go and have a look!"

The ship turned at the fork and headed towards the North City.

There is indeed a water gate in Taipei City, but it is basically abandoned due to the opening status all year round.

No one was guarding him, and the passenger ship entered Taipei City without any obstacles.

There are more ships in Taipei City, most of which are small delivery boats, moored on small piers, and many large shops have separate piers.

Soon, a grand house appeared on the shore, with white walls and black tiles and tall walls. There was a small door behind it, leading directly to a small dock by the river.

This house is the Daolin Quality Library. The gate of the quality library is in front. What they see is the backyard, which is the seat where the warehouse is located. The gray-white warehouse exterior wall stands above the courtyard wall, all made of large bluestone, full of heavy feeling.

Li Xiu looked carefully at the road from the back door to the dock. It was paved with stone slabs and slightly tilted, making it more suitable for using wooden wheels.

After a round of the passenger ship, Li Xiu accidentally discovered that the city office was on the west side of the quality warehouse, only a few dozen steps apart.

If you shout loudly at night, the city officials and soldiers could hear it clearly.

This discovery made Li Xiu sweat in a cold sweat, and there was no such item in his plan.

………………

In the evening, everyone moved into the mansion located in Wuchunfang in batches.

This large mansion fully meets Li Xiu's requirements for a large area, with many houses and close to Caohe. However, the house is a little dilapidated and there are no gardens. It is surrounded by ordinary people in Yangzhou, and the living environment is not very good.

But the biggest advantage here is that there are many groups of people living here. Many shoppers live here. It is normal for more than a dozen people to live in a yard.

It is normal for Li Xiu’s more than 30 subordinates to live here.

In the room, Li Xiu made the final arrangement, and Zhong Kui was considering it carefully. He rented five 2,000-stone cargo ships and left the city, and continued to go north and enter the reed marsh of Gaoyou Lake to hide.

There were seven people in the assault operation, Li Xiu was responsible for commanding the logistics transport, and Zhong Kui was responsible for commanding the task, requiring the task to be completed within a quarter of an hour.

"Everyone, we are facing the Maitreya religion, not ordinary merchants, so there is nothing to show mercy. I ask that all be killed without leaving any living!"

…………….

Five 2,000-stone cargo ships slowly sailed into Taipei City.

The Lindao Quality Storage closed as usual, and seven men left the store and went home. The gate was closed, and ten warriors carried boxes of property to the backyard.

The two managers had opened the warehouse gate, the large iron gate was creaking and the warriors carried boxes of property into the warehouse.

Li Xiu and Gongsun Xiaomei lurked on the opposite roof. They each held a military crossbow and were paying attention to the situation in the warehouse.

Two managers entered the warehouse to take stock of the warehouse, and the ten warriors were divided into two, five warriors entered the warehouse, and the other five warriors stood at the gate of the warehouse.

"Prepare to start!"

Li Xiu whispered, and the two raised their crossbows and aimed at the warrior at the door.

‘Click!Click!’

Two light sounds, two poisonous arrows shot at the samurai like lightning. The two warriors were not wary of it, and were shot by the poisonous arrows and fell to the ground. At the same time, the back door was knocked open.

Pei Min, Zi Linfeng and three Jinyi constables with great martial arts skills rushed in.

Pei Min and Zi Linfeng each killed one person, and the remaining warrior was so scared that he turned around and fled into the warehouse.

The five people also rushed into the warehouse...
