"To remind you, waterways should be thoroughly investigated and residential buildings controlled. Do we want to rush in now?"
"Don't worry, just play with them!"
Gao Qiu sat on his tall horse and looked at the house in the distance.
Those who do not reach a certain level of official rank are not qualified to be called mansions. They can only be called family homes. However, in Bianjing, where land is extremely valuable, sometimes the mansions of purple-robed officials are really not as good as the homes of wealthy businessmen.
.
At least the stone lions at the door of Ye's house are all carved in a particularly tall and majestic way. Except for the number of hairs that are restricted by etiquette and cannot be exceeded, anyone who looks at this large house can't help but feel longing and peace.
Envy.
Of course, it could also be jealousy.
Gao Qiu was particularly jealous, with two blazing flames burning in his eyes, which made him unable to feel the chill of the night at all during these nine days.
However, before coming, Li Yan emphasized that after walking a hundred steps and half a dozen, it was already at this point. No one could accept falling short, so Gao Qiu acted according to his plan and did not let the seemingly large number of officers and soldiers rush in.
When there are more people, it is easy to get into chaos. Once there is chaos, it is easy to make mistakes. It is better to wait for the two companions who searched the house to wipe out the Ming Zun thieves, lead the elite to come here, and then break down the house and ransack the house in one fell swoop.
However, before they could take the initiative to call the door, the door opened and several figures came out. The leader was a steward in exquisite robes and a close confidant of Ye Jichang.
Gao Qiu gave the order: "There is a cult thief in this house. Let this person stand far away. The crossbowmen are ready. If there is any mistake, shoot him!"
When the steward saw the officers and soldiers blocking him, he could only bow and salute from a distance, and said loudly: "Greetings to Gao TiDian, I will come to inform you that Mr. Ye Hui has asked Gao TiDian."
Gao Qiu said coldly: "Do you think I am going to war and bringing so many people here just as guests?"
The steward bent down and said: "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. Ye Huishou has always admired the reputation of the Imperial City Secretary, and he hopes to step forward and explain himself to show his sincerity."
Gao Qiu likes to see people begging tremblingly in front of him, and waved his hand: "Okay, if Ye Jichang comes out in person, he is somewhat sincere. Now, if you, a manager, come forward, and talk about sincerity, isn't it ridiculous?
?I have given you the opportunity before, but not only did you not cherish it, you also secretly helped Ye Dianzhi escape from prison. You are simply lawless and extremely arrogant!"
The steward said: "The leader of the guild also knows that he has failed to teach his son well and his discipline is not strict. He is willing to let the young master surrender and plead guilty. No matter whether it is to exile his wife or to be beheaded in public, he will not complain. At the same time, he is willing to give a share of the guild.
As an apology..."
"How outrageous! How dare you bribe me in public?"
When Gao Qiu heard half of it, he immediately interrupted, as if there was a plaque hanging on the back of his head, and shouted: "Get it for me!"
The steward and his entourage were dragged down directly. Gao Qiu and Ye Jichang, who was in a high-rise building in the courtyard, looked at each other in the air. I don't know if they saw clearly, but their faces were still upright.
Faced with this kind of behavior, Ye Jichang's cheek muscles twitched. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he said without looking back: "Is it the Shangqiu Guild?"
Mr. Qian reported: "The leader of the guild is wise, it is indeed the Shangqiu guild."
Ye Jichang's eyes flashed fiercely: "It is indeed them! This high-spirited siege rather than attack is not just a simple raid on the house. I am afraid that he is preparing to swallow up my chamber of commerce completely. However, he certainly does not have the ability himself. He can only cooperate with other people.
Five major chambers of commerce unite..."
"Recently, Zhang Dun has resigned as prime minister, and the Shangqiu guild is in greatest need of political resources, so even the notorious Imperial City Secretary and Xingchen Gaoqiu have not been spared..."
"Hmph, when this storm subsides, I will definitely let them die without a place to die!"
Qian Laodao: "But now that Gao Qiu has the support of the Shangqiu Guild, he will not agree to reconciliation. Instead, he hopes to confiscate his family and swallow up everything!"
Ye Jichang said: "He can swallow everything! Does he know where our treasury is? Can he run every printing house? Can he manage the craftsmen trained by our chamber of commerce for generations? Let him copy
If you take over a house and you can’t get much valuable money out of it, you naturally have to cooperate with me!”
Mr. Qian was still worried: "But except for the money bank, the Shangqiu Chamber of Commerce can take over!"
Ye Jichang sneered: "Then what's the difference from transferring our guild to the Shangqiu Chamber of Commerce? As long as we can't see the cash, all subsequent benefits may be misappropriated!"
"None of the six major chambers of commerce is clean, and Gao Qiu cannot get hold of the other five chambers of commerce. Now that the Houjiang Guild has evidence of guilt, it can be taken advantage of. If he kills us, he will be in trouble with us.
It would be foolish for those people to cooperate!"
"As long as Gao Qiu is a greedy and smart person, he will know that beating us until we have only one breath left and then staying here is the choice to maximize our interests. Beating us to death with a stick will only cause us to scatter, and finally give him
Others take advantage in vain!"
Mr. Qian looked at the master who always seemed to be able to make calm judgments, with a look of respect and fear: "Alang is wise!"
Ye Jichang asked: "What happened to Nizi?"
Mr. Qian whispered: "He is being held in the backyard."
Ye Jichang's tone was full of disappointment: "This traitor led the wolf into the house, but he didn't know that he had the possibility of surviving even if he faked his death, and that he still had the chance to return after being exiled. It's all because of our parents behind him. Once we are finished, he will
It’s completely over! Without a family, what kind of young master is he? He didn’t learn any shrewdness from us, he only knows how to hold grudges, what a fool!”
"Am I stupid? If you practiced that evil secret technique and made yourself neither a man nor a woman, how could you be so detached?"
In the backyard, the young master with swollen cheeks looked at his mother and roared hysterically.
Ye Jichang's wife Pan's face showed an indifferent apology: "I know you have always hated us. If you had other choices, I would not let you practice the Taiyuan secret method, but that is the will of King Ming.
You are the only one in the whole clan who has that talent. As my child, you should shoulder this heavy responsibility! With the blessing of King Ming, you have also mastered the secret technique and inherited the position of bishop..."
The young master was furious: "Bullshit King Ming! Everything I learned was practiced by myself, not given by King Ming... Bang!"
Pan's eyes immediately became cold to the bone, and a slap slapped her son's face to the side: "Insolent! Anyone who disrespects King Ming will be subject to three disasters and nine punishments... Watch him!"
The maids on the left and right immediately accepted the order, with absolute devotion to King Ming in their eyes, so much so that they looked at the young man with disgust.
The sound of Pan's footsteps faded away, and the young master lowered his head, seemingly beaten to the point of being completely unresponsive, until the sound of pebbles breaking through the air was heard.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh——"
The guard guard fell down at the sound, and Xu Ning, who had just bandaged the wound, also rolled in and knocked the maid unconscious with three strikes.
The young master suddenly raised his head and showed a proud smile: "Two good brothers, I knew you would come!"
Zhang Qing came over: "The gesture he made to us when we parted before was the secret code agreed upon when escaping from prison. Did you already know that you would be arrested?"
The young master nodded and sneered: "No one knows a son better than his parents, and no one knows his parents better than his son... Let's go!"
Zhang Qing and Xu Ning couldn't keep up with the family's rhythm for a while, but Li Yan asked them to wait for the opportunity and naturally followed them.
Under the leadership of the young master, the three of them went directly to the garden next to them without leaving the backyard, opened the secret passage mechanism, and dived into the underground passage.
Zhang Qing thought he was going to run away, and said very puzzledly: "Young Master, since you are going to run away, why did you come back before?"
bidige
Shaodong's family said: "It's not about running away, it's about going to the treasury!"
Xu Ning was startled: "Treasury? Why is it this small secret passage with no guards?"
The young master explained: "My parents are guilty of thieves, and the way they hide money is different from other chambers of commerce. I just heard those servants talking about how officers and soldiers were surrounded outside, but even if they broke into the house and ransacked it, they couldn't find anything except what was in the house.
What kind of property, the huge wealth accumulated by the two people is actually hidden in the vault."
As he spoke, the fluctuations of the formation were heard in front of him. Zhang Qing and Xu Ning were very low-spirited and did not feel anything. However, Shaodongjia perked up and walked a few steps quickly and came to an inconspicuous iron gate: "This is the treasury.
entrance."
Zhang Qing and Xu Ning looked at the size of the iron door, then looked at the mark on the door, and were a little disappointed: "How big can the vault be with such a small door?"
The young master smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. There is a cave behind. Most of the treasury is in Wuyou Cave. It was opened with Wuwozi, the leader of Wuyou Cave, but the thief's head can't open it either."
"You see, this formation pattern requires the palm prints of my parents to press on it at the same time. If anyone is missing, the formation pattern will be disordered. After a few times, the emergency formation, the Flame Destruction Formation, will be activated."
Zhang Qing asked curiously: "What will happen?"
Shaodong's family said: "The Flame Destruction Formation will melt copper coins and property, and then pour them into the worry-free cave opened below. They would rather give the thieves an advantage than let the enemies who ransack the house find the wealth."
"However, when they designed the formation, they did not expect that Wuyou Cave would be destroyed, so now once the formation is activated, the treasury will be completely destroyed and cannot be recovered!"
Zhang Qing was stunned, and Xu Ning asked smoothly: "How much money is hidden in the vault?"
The young master thought for a while: "It's not all money. If it were all money, it would be around six million guan."
"Oh, six million strings...how much did you say?"
Zhang Qing and Xu Ning were stunned where they were.
Ignoring the two stunned people, the young master walked over, stretched out his palms, and touched the swollen cheeks on the left and right sides.
On it were his parents, each of whom had taken out a big dick just now, while the young master showed a ruthless expression and made a tearing motion.
In the sound of endless pain, he actually tore off two shallow pieces of flesh from his face. There was no trace of flesh and blood on his face, but it looked extremely pale and bloodless.
But the lines on Ye Jichang and Pan's palms did emerge from the flesh, and they pressed towards the marks.
"Am I stupid? I can't live without you?"
"Wrong! I have already thought about this day and prepared for it!"
"Dad! Aniang! I will make you regret it! Hahahaha!"
Amidst the wild laughter, the iron door slowly opened, and a ray of light shrouded the three people inside.
