"All these are gold?"

"Yes, these ten carriages are all gold, but they are painted with copper."

Li Qingan gently stroked the bronze ware, and a hint of excitement shot out in his eyes. He suddenly asked, "How much gold is there in total?"

"It is impossible to calculate, there are a total of 100 boxes."

Li Qingan's eyes lit up. How many will there be in a hundred boxes of gold?

"Qilang, what should we do? Will we hand over this gold?"

Li Qingan pondered for a moment and asked again: "What is in another box?"

"It's all treasures, silver, jewelry and jade, and the quantity is amazing, but they are all treasures of the Du family."

"How many brothers knew that these bronzes were gold?"

"There is no one else, it's just me and He Yanming, or He Yanming discovered it accidentally."

Li Qing'an walked a few steps behind his back, and he turned around and said, "Shouyu, I want to take this batch of gold. Maybe we can use it in Anxi in the future. What do you think?"

"But yes, but I think the risk is also very high."

"I know that although the box is heavy, it is not big. One hundred brothers can take it away on horseback. This batch of gold is probably King Qing's black money. He would never dare to say that we are braver and don't look back."

"I think so too. This is probably the huge profit of King Qing smuggling salt. Qilang, we might as well make it more concealed and buy a large number of bronze ware, mix it in it, and transport it to Chang'an by ship. Even if you are seen, you will never expect that these bronze ware will be gold."

"Well said, let's do it like this. It's better for us to open a bronze shop in Xicheng City, which is even more like a pearl-mixed fish."

"What about these money and goods from the Du family?" Li Fei Shouyu asked again.

"The Du family's money and property can be handed over to the prefect of Yangzhou, but"

Speaking of this, Li Qing'an patted the carriage and smiled and said, "Since we have intercepted the Du family's property, we will always have to take out some of it to reward the brothers. We will spend a long time together in the future! We can't lose money to everyone."

"Qilang, you want it," Li Fei Shouyu said in surprise.

"nothing."

Li Qingan hugged his shoulder and smiled, "The soldiers we trained through great difficulty are thrown in Jianghuai for nothing. Don't you think it's a pity?"

"I see!"

Li Fei Shouyu waved excitedly and said, "Okay! Everyone drive the carriage back to the station and set off immediately!"

In Hongfu Temple in Du Liangshan, Du Boyun hugged a young woman and drank wine in a big bowl. The woman was very thin, with a hunched back, and was frightened like a lamb. Behind a large pillar not far away, a gray-haired old man clenched his fist in pain.

Du Boyun was about forty years old, with a blushing face and a very rough appearance. He glanced at the young woman sideways, suddenly snorted, grabbed her hair, and raised her face.

"Miss, you won't make me happy anymore. I'll throw you to my brothers like last time. How about you, do you want to taste that extreme happiness again?"

"No, second master, don't! I beg you." The woman begged mercilessly.

"Then you smile and make me happy, don't cry like a dead mother!"

“Yes~”

The woman forced herself to smile, but was slapped by Du Boyun, "Baoman! Are you crying or laughing?"

The woman covered her face and started crying. At this time, the old man behind the big pillar could no longer control himself. He ran out and knelt in front of Du Boyun, kowtowing repeatedly, "Second Master, just because I have served the Du family since I was a child, let me spare my little girl!

"Grandma, I'm in a good mood today, but I'm here to disappoint you. Come on! Kill this old bastard for me. This smelly woman is thrown into the dark room. Who would like to go to her casually?"

"Master, please spare me! Please spare me!"

The father and daughter were dragged down, and Du Boyun drank another glass of wine, twisted his neck gently, and the joints quarrels.

At this time, a young man hurried in and said, "Father, the child is really worried and wants to go down the mountain to take a look."

"What are you worried about? Who can see through my carefully planned plan? Is that nerd, County Magistrate Cui? I'll make a joke when I see through it. Come on! Xier sits down and drinks with her father."

This young man is naturally Du Xi, Du Boyun's only son. As for the flower-picking thief who was shot to death in Xuyi County, he was just a loud horse that looked a little like Du Xi.

Du Liangshan is a secret treasure trove of the Du family. It started operating three years ago. It bought land and mountains in the name of the Jin family in Sizhou, built temples and sights, and hid nearly half of its property in the temple. A few months ago, the eldest brother Du Bosheng was arrested, and the second and third brothers took advantage of the dispute between Lu and Liu to bribe the yamen runners and rescued Du Bosheng. Due to the shady scene involving King Qing, the Du family knew that it could no longer gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty, so the Du family began to plan to leave the Tang Dynasty and go to the Koumu.

But how to transfer money was a big problem, so the Du family planned a three-step plan. The first step was to secretly establish a base in Du Liangshan and bribe the local government;

The second step is today's strategy. Using the despicable means of picking flowers, Xuyi County fell into a trap. Du Boyun sent a letter to Xuyi on the grounds that his son was killed, forcing Xuyi County to transfer all the people into the city. In this way, the third brother Du Boyuan snatched the public ship of the Inspection Office at night and sent the Du family's property away overnight.

The third step is to recruit soldiers in Duliangshan, choose to pull the flag and rebel at the appropriate time, and attract the government's attention to Duliangshan to protect the Du family from the south.

It should be said that the three steps were planned seamlessly, and there was no problem so far, and the progress was smooth. Du Boyun was in a good mood. As long as the property was transferred away today, he could rebel and rebel. Maybe he could even wear a dragon robe to live a feast.

"Xi'er, come and have a drink. You will leave in two days. Just have a father here."

Du Xi drank the wine, but was always worried. At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside. Several subordinates rushed in. When they saw Du Boyun, they lay on the ground and cried, "Second Master, we encountered an ambush by the officers and soldiers. The third master was shot to death, and everything was stolen by the officers and soldiers!"

‘Dang!’ Du Boyun’s wine glass fell to the ground

The next day, the gate of Xuyi County was closed, and five hundred Tang troops and thousands of young and strong people stood on the city tower waiting for the attack of Xiangma, but they waited until noon, and there was still no news from afar.

Cui Ping was a little anxious and ran to Li Qing'an and asked, "General Li, what happened?"

Li Qingan shook his head and said, "I don't know either, wait a little longer!"

After waiting for nearly an hour, the end of the official road was still deserted and there was no figure. Suddenly, several horses rushed from a distance. Cui Ping was excited and shouted: "General Li, the spy you sent is back."

Li Qing'an waved his hand and said, "Open the city gate!"

The city gate slowly opened, and Nan Jiyun and several Tang soldiers rushed into the city. After a moment, Nan Jiyun rushed to the top of the city to report: "General, there seems to be something wrong with Du Liang Mountain. We see many people running down the mountain with their bags."

Li Qing'an's face sank and said, "I don't want to, I want to know, what happened?"

Nan Jiyun blushed and said quickly: "We caught two people and asked. They said that the king was not sure where he was going, and there were no leaders on the mountain, and they were all in chaos."

Li Qingan thought for a while and said to Cui Ping: "I want to go to Duliangshan to see. If a large group of people attack, you light the fire and set off the cigarette, I will rush back immediately."

"General, I will do it!"

The city gate opened wide, and Li Qing'an led 400 regiments to train troops and drove away in the direction of Duliangshan.

Duliang Mountain is about forty miles away from Xuyi County. One hour later, the horsemen arrived at the foot of Duliang Mountain. After walking for a while, they arrived at the road up the mountain. They saw dozens of people fighting for something in front of them from afar. Li Qing'an pointed at the horse whip and said, "Take it all for me!"

Hundreds of Tang soldiers rushed forward. Dozens of people fled when they saw the Tang army coming, but they were still one step late. The Tang army rushed forward and surrounded them.

"Kneel down and put your hands on your head!"

Everyone knelt down one after another, putting their hands on their heads in fear. At this time, Li Qing'an urged him to come forward. Seeing that each of them was a big bag, and someone with his wife and children, he asked, "What happened on the mountain?"

"Mr. Jun! My king ran away overnight last night, and there was a mess on the mountain."

"Yeah?"

Li Qingan looked up at the top of the mountain, and from it, he could see the temple on the mountain.

"Take me down and ask me one by one. If you don't tell the truth, kill me!"

The Tang army rushed up like a wolf or a tiger, grabbed the escaped people, dragged them to both sides of the road, and suddenly it was like killing a pig, crying and calling out to my parents.

After a moment, all the confessions were recorded. Most of these people were recruited by refugees who fled from the drought area a month ago. Early in the morning, they saw a chaos in the mountains and many people ran away. These people were originally mixed with food, and now they packed up their things and ran away. There was a mess on the mountains, and no one knew what was going on.

Li Fei Shouyu stepped forward and whispered: "Qilang, I'm worried that they have ambushing soldiers on both sides of the mountain road, so we should be careful."

Li Qing'an waved his whip and said, "Send a few brothers to investigate the situation from the small road. If you do run away, light a fire on the temple."

Immediately, several Tang soldiers came up the mountain from the small road. Li Qing'an led a large group of people to wait patiently at the foot of the mountain. After waiting for about half an hour, a soldier suddenly pointed to the top of the mountain and shouted: "General, look, there is thick smoke in the temple!"

I saw a pillar of thick smoke rising into the sky at the temple on the top of the mountain. "Go up the mountain!" With Li Qing'an's order, the Tang army dismounted one after another and led the horse to the top of the mountain.

There was no problem going up the mountain all the way. As the escaped man said, the temple where Du Boyun and others lived was empty, with smashed teacups and dishes everywhere, and discarded books and letters all over the ground. They ran away in a hurry and didn't even have time to burn it.

Li Qing'an bent down and picked up a letter, gently patted the soil on it. The envelope read: "Brother Boyun personally opened it", and the signature was Liu Ziming of Xuyi, who is now the prefect of Sizhou.

Li Qingan smiled. Du Boyun was not a close friend. It was time for the prefect Liu to go to prison to cry.

He Yanming searched and came to report: "General, there are no valuable things. We caught a hundred people, all of them were irrelevant. They didn't know where Du Boyun had escaped."

"Search it out and put away all the letters."

At this time, Nan Jiyun walked quickly to report: "General, we caught a family in the kitchen cellar."

Several Tang soldiers pushed an old man with gray hair up, "Very good!" Li Qing'an sat down on a stone and said to the old man: "I don't want to torture, tell everything you know, I'll let you go!"

"Let my old wife and daughter go away!"

Li Qingan glanced at the two women squatting in the corner, one was an old woman and the other was a young woman. Both of them were pale and very weak.

"Okay! We'll make a deal."

"Junye, I am a member of the Du family. I have been with the Du family for decades. This time I went up the mountain, and I was worried about my wife and daughter, so I brought them, but it ended up causing them to encounter a nightmare situation. My heart was already cold, and the efforts I put in to the Du family were rewarded in such a way."

"You only tell me what happened last night!" Li Qing'an interrupted him.

The old man sneered and said, "A dozen people escaped last night, saying that Du Lao San was ambushed by the officers and soldiers and was shot to death by arrows. All the money and goods were seized by Tang Jun. He said that thousands of officers and soldiers came. Du Lao Er was frightened and packed up his fine and soft overnight to escape. Humph! Returning to King Jinwei, I think he is the King of Impotence, a soft ball."

Li Qingan slowly stood up and asked, "You said, where did Du Boyun escape and where did Du Bosheng hide? As long as you say it, I will give you a 500 taels of silver to spend your old age."

The old man lowered his head and thought, "I don't know where Du Boyun escaped, but I have some clues about where Du Bo was born."

"Speak quickly, where are you?"

"The Du family is from Yangzhou, and most of them know this, but Du Bosheng's uncle is from Qua County, Runzhou, but only a few families know it. I am one of them. More than a month ago, Du Boyun went to Runzhou and took away a lot of money and goods. Jun Ye might as well check in that direction."

"Runzhou!"
