Chapter 409 [Underground Engineering](1/2)
The moment Xue Poye pressed the switch, he saw the four solid walls of the warehouse rising slowly. In addition, the granite floor had a thin opening in the middle, and the two sides slowly opened. He was shocked.
Zhao Tianda and Dali, the treasurer, hurriedly hid in the corner of the room.
The mechanism was activated, but the sound was not very loud. The walls rose and the ground cracked. Except for Zi Yi, who had already seen it, the other three people were stunned and couldn't believe it.
The silver light is dazzling.
As the four walls rise, an even more surprising landscape slowly appears. There is a huge gap between the walls, and in the gap, layers of silver ingots are placed together, shining out.
Dazzling silver light.
Dali's treasurer opened his mouth and murmured: "No wonder... no wonder the wall between the two warehouses is so generous, but it is to... hide the money...!"
Under the opened granite floor, there were extremely deep and wide hollow compartments. The compartments were empty, but Xue Poye knew very well that a large amount of official silver must have been stored in these wide hollow compartments.
The four rock walls had been completely raised, and Xue Poye discovered that, except for some official silver remaining on the southeast sides, the northwest walls were empty.
"Master Hou, they have taken away the money here." Ziyi explained.
"Them?" Zhao Tianda said angrily: "Who is it? Who is so bold as to steal the treasury silver?"
Xue Poye frowned and asked, "Where did they leave from?"
Ziyi said: "Master Marquis, please take a look." He suddenly jumped into the compartment on the ground, squatted down, and listened for a moment with his ears on the layer of rammed earth below. Then he patted a few places lightly and heard "click"
With a sound, the rammed earth layer that seemed to have no trace of any mechanism actually revealed a large hole. The hole could accommodate two people entering and exiting at the same time. It was pitch black below the hole, and it was unknown what was underneath.
"Master Marquis, they left from here, and the money was transported out through this secret passage." Ziyi said.
Xue Poye had a look of horror on his face and stared blankly at the entrance of the cave. After a long time, he sighed: "It's terrible, it's terrible."
In the majestic household bank, there is a passage from the ground that anyone can enter and exit at will. This is really a terrifying thing.
Everyone thought that the official silver in the bank had been stolen long ago, so their vigilance and attention to the bank were greatly reduced. But taking this opportunity, the thief came back and quietly
, and slowly transport the silver away in batches.
This is a huge project. As you can imagine, this group of thieves is by no means an ordinary petty thief, or even an ordinary gangster. The opponent is a well-organized group with top talents in terms of technology and intelligence.
The huge amount of official silver that was shipped out was supported by huge evil intentions.
…
Xue Poye pondered for a moment, and finally thought of Ziyi in other rooms, and hurriedly told Zhao Tianda: "Hurry and open the doors of other rooms and let them out... Don't be suffocated!"
Zhao Tianda hurriedly led Dali, the treasurer, to call for help.
"Master Marquis, based on my humble judgment, this group of people will not take action during the day. They should enter the treasury to steal silver after Hai, but they will leave immediately after Yin." Ziyi provided as much information as possible.
Give it to Xue Poye.
Xue Poye squatted at the entrance of the cave and looked down. It was completely dark and seemed quite deep. He asked softly: "When they steal silver, do they check the wind first?"
Ziyi cautiously replied: "Three people came out from below. They activated the mechanism with great strength, took the silver from the wall and threw it into the hole. There must be someone below to take care of them. Before they took action, they just listened to the little boy in front of the door.
For a moment, I don’t know whether it was because I was too confident or because I was pressed for time, so I didn’t open the door and go out to explore the wind.”
Xue Poye nodded and murmured: "The two missing powerful treasurers may have found their traces, so they killed and mutilated their bodies."
Ziyi asked softly: "Master Hou, if they do this, they may alert the enemy. Aren't they worried that it will attract our attention?"
Xue Poye appreciated this question and nodded: "They must be very aware of the guard situation of our bank bank. Now many people are talking about the movement in the bank being caused by ghosts and they dare not approach. This makes them bold.
Even bigger, and most importantly, they run the risk of alerting the enemy, and it's very possible that time is running out and they have to take the risk."
Ziyi nodded in agreement.
Seeing the quick thinking and strong hands of this man in purple, Xue Poye couldn't help but ask: "What's your name?"
"Humble job Xu Ping!"
"Xu Ping, you have done a good job. I will ask the emperor to reward you well." Xue Poye patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Xu Ping said respectfully: "I don't dare to humble myself in my position. If I can be loyal to the Holy One and serve the Marquis, I will be lucky to humble my position for the rest of my life."
Xue Poye laughed loudly, and the spirit became serious, and said softly: "There is still some silver here that has not been stolen. If nothing happens, they will come back tonight and transport all the silver here."
Xu Ping said: "Master Hou, what should I do next?" He pointed to the dark entrance of the cave and said: "I will go into the cave now to explore?"
Xue Poye waved his hand and said: "No, we don't know anything about the situation inside, let alone alert the snake." After a pause, he said thoughtfully: "Let me think about it...!"
Soon, other people in purple clothes also gathered. Except for the three warehouses where there was no movement, the other six people also saw a similar situation.
"There is no movement in three warehouses. It must be that the silver inside has been shipped out." Xue Poye thought: "Seven warehouses were operated at the same time. Taken together, warehouse No. 23 alone will require a lot of manpower... There is something in the east warehouse.
More than 30 warehouses of silver were stolen. Should they attack more than 30 warehouses at the same time? The manpower of this thieves group is terrifying!"
However, if you think about it, the possibility of more than 30 tongkuyins taking action at the same time is extremely slim.
"Xu Ping, you stay with two brothers, and the other brothers will be led out of here by Deputy General Guard Zhao." Xue Poye said thoughtfully: "Deputy General Guard Zhao, please lead the other brothers out of here.
, you must keep it secret and don’t let anyone show you.”
Zhao Tianda agreed, and Xu Ping immediately ordered two people in purple to stay. After the others saluted, they followed Zhao Tianda and left.
"Xu Ping, I'm leaving you three here for a great purpose." Xue Poye said kindly, "Please close the trap at the entrance of the cave first."
Xu Ping agreed, reached out and patted the rammed earth in several places, and the hole was indeed closed.
"It all depends on the order of the Marquis!"
Xue Poye pondered for a moment and asked: "Xu Ping, in your opinion, if the three of you attack at the same time, can you quietly deal with the three thieves who came to the warehouse to steal the silver?"
Xu Ping looked at the other two people and said confidently: "Master Hou, I have left him and my two people here because of my humble position. It is precisely because the three of us often acted together and cooperated with each other tacitly. I had carefully observed the three traitors last night.
They have strength, but their chassis is weak and they don't seem to be martial arts masters. If the three of us attack at the same time, we can kill them in an instant."
Xue Poye said happily: "That's good, that's good!"
Xu Ping and the others were a little confused. The most important thing at the moment was to chase down the traitors and get back the official silver. What was the use of killing three people who took the silver? However, from the confident eyes of Mr. Xue, the three of them knew that Mr. Xue must have wanted to
Well, two strategies.
…
…
For Xue Poye, this day was a day to fully recharge his batteries. He left all his affairs behind and returned to the General Guard's Mansion after the morning session. He hugged Xiao Suzhen and slept soundly in the broad daylight.
There are no programs that promote pornography during the day. I just try my best to nourish my spirit and restore the physical imbalance caused by fatigue during this period.
Although Xiao Suzhen was surprised that Xue Lang still hugged each other and slept in broad daylight, she was relieved to see him wearing a sweet smile while sleeping.
It was not until dusk that Xue Poye woke up leisurely. He saw that Xue Poye had brought the food. He got up and washed himself. After wolfing down the food, he didn't care to say anything more. He kissed Xiao Suzhen and ran as fast as he could.
Go to the bank.
The guards around Warehouse No. 23 had long since disappeared from the guard of the Yulin Guards. Only Zhao Tianda stood in the corner and watched. When he saw Xue Poye coming over, he hurriedly said: "Sir, the three of them have already recovered their spirits. We just need to wait for them."
I’m catching ghosts at night.”
Xue Poye laughed. After a day's rest, he looked very good and energetic. He touched his nose and said: "It's still early. Those guys will only enter the warehouse to steal silver. You can just follow me around."
!”
Zhao Tianda opened his mouth and said: "Sir, if... there are spies of thieves here, wouldn't they know our whereabouts?"
"These weird things happened here. If you and I were not here, they would be more alert and careful." Xue Poye laughed and said: "We walk around just to let them see us and let them know that we are here
Checking around as a matter of routine."
Zhao Tianda seemed to understand something and praised: "You are still smart."
“Otherwise, how can we become adults?”
Lin Wei and Xue Poye would both come forward to comfort him with a few words.
There are forty warehouses in the east warehouse of Hubu, which is a very huge building complex. Xue Poye and Zhao Tianda walked and walked for more than half an hour before they saw the high wall behind the warehouse courtyard. The thick gray-brown wall
And solemn.
"What's behind?" Xue Poye asked, touching his nose and looking at the wall of the backyard.
Zhao Tianda replied: "It's a forest."
Xue Poye frowned and didn't ask any more questions. He walked around for more than half an hour before stopping to rest.
It wasn't until it was approaching Hai hour that the two quietly returned to Warehouse No. 23, opened the huge stone door, and quickly entered the dark passage. The huge stone door was closed immediately after they entered.
Xue Poye did not continue walking inside, but took Zhao Tianda and waited quietly in the passage.
The turbid air made both of them feel very uncomfortable, but in order to catch the big fish, they had to endure it, and in the warehouse, Xu Ping and three others in purple had been lurking for a long time.
Xue Poye admired the endurance and willpower of these Ziyi from the bottom of his heart.
He suddenly thought of "ninja". These purple clothes were probably more powerful than ninjas.
Time passed slowly and patiently. I don’t know how long it took. The weird sound that Xue Poye had been waiting for for a long time finally sounded from inside again. Now Xue Poye already knew that the weird sound was not something else, but the mechanism was activated.
the sound of.
The thieves have appeared!!!
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xue Poye's mouth, and he patted Zhao Tianda's shoulder gently, and the two of them walked in quietly.
