Chapter 44 Trouble(1/2)

There is no road in the world, and more people walk, it becomes a road.

Bai Shier, who walked down the mountain along a path of a small forest more than ten feet away from the Taoist temple, couldn't help but think of this very philosophical saying in his mind.

But among the people, he was the only one who was still idle to think about these "messy" things at this time. The rest of the people, such as Peng Zhenlei, who was carrying the spy who was unfortunately caught by Bai Shier, had the only thought in his mind to hurry up and go down the mountain to see if he could catch the person who was still waiting for the news in the other party.

As for the rest of the people, their ideas were mostly similar to those of Peng Zhenlei, so their pace was very fast.

Santai Mountain is not high. Although the path is winding and difficult to walk, they can quickly come down the mountain with their fast feet. Unfortunately, after rushing to the place where the secret agent was mentioned on Peng Zhenlei's back, the group searched for a long time but did not find a single figure, and there was not even a trace of people coming.

At this time, no matter how stupid it is, it can be guessed that their group was fooled by the other party.

So, the spy who had just experienced interrogation not long ago ushered in a new round of interrogation.

Only Bai Shier looked at the pain on the other person's face but was quite contented, and he also felt relaxed, and noticed something was wrong.

"Okay, there's no need to retrial, we're all slandered by him."

Bai Shier stopped Tie Wenbin and said to the four of them.

"This is still for you..."

Tie Wenbin, who was stopped, couldn't help but look unhappy, thinking that Bai Shier was talking nonsense.

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Peng Zhenlei, whose face suddenly changed.

"Ye Bi, go around immediately to check."

"No."

Bai Shier once again made a sound to stop Ye Bi and shook his head at Peng Zhenlei.

"They must have escaped a long time ago, and they couldn't find anything useful except for some traces,"

Bai Shier said as he looked at the spy who was staring at him and said with a smile.

"I think if we return to that Taoist temple and investigate it now, we might have unexpected gains."

After discovering that Bai Shier was staring at the spy, he observed the other person's eyes quietly. After Bai Shier said that he was watching, he found a hint of panic flashing in the other person's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, and replaced it with disdain, and suddenly felt at ease in his heart.

There is indeed something wrong with that Taoist temple.

Perhaps the reason why he just spoke was to trick his group down the mountain and inform the accomplices of his being arrested to the accomplices who were receiving him. At the same time, he also let his group take him back to Quanzhou Prefecture City in anger and torture him to confess his confession. His accomplices can use this gap to return to the Taoist temple.

...

An hour later, when the sun was about to set, Tie Wenlan was poking around with a long stick, but suddenly heard a few "dongdong" sounds like muffled thunder in his ears.

Her ancestors at home were all working in the six doors, so she naturally understood what this sound meant. She knocked twice again and confirmed that it was not her auditory hallucination. She immediately shouted loudly with excitement.

With the full efforts of the five men, the large amount of charcoal covering it was quickly cleaned out, and then an iron door made of pig iron, about three feet square, appeared in front of them, although the iron door was already pitch black due to the burning of the fire.

When Ye Bi was anxious and struggled to open the thick iron gate, the afterglow of the sun shone down, reflecting the pearly energy inside.

Become rich!

This is the first thought that Ye Bi, a flying thief who once was a flying thief, immediately emerged in his heart.

However, after the other people came forward to see what was under the iron gate, the thoughts that emerged in their minds were actually not much different from Ye Bi, the former thief.

Even Zhu Jinxuan, who is the princess.

Although she is a princess with a title, she has never seen so many gold, silver and jewelry since she was a child.

"Can it be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver be converted here?"

Looking at the gold and silver firmly, Tie Wenbin's face was already a little dull, and the question after he spoke sounded more like a murmur.

"She, the gold and silver here should be about tens of thousands of taels. If we count the other jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, and jade, it would be at least more than one hundred thousand taels."

Ye Bi, the most "informed" of these people, couldn't help but sneer when he heard Tie Wenbin's muttering, and then according to his own estimate, he expressed his value.

"Hiss! Ten, ten, one hundred thousand?!"

Tie Wenbin, who always likes to mock Ye Bi on weekdays, didn't bother to fight back at this time. He was already scared by the number given by Ye Bi.

"This should be the treasure accumulated by Mu Yixing."

Although Peng Zhenlei's mind fell into a blank moment after seeing the gold and silver, he immediately came back to his senses.

"It seems to be."

Bai Shier nodded.

At the same time, I finally understood why the spy looked at Peng Zhenlei and the other five who were poking around in the ruins of this temple so nervously that he didn't care about the surrounding environment.

People die for money, and birds die for food.

Now, if you only cost two dollars, you can buy a girl. Now, there are enough people here to buy tens of thousands of people. Even if it is him, if he changes to the other party's situation, he will be extremely nervous and unable to calm down, for fear that these wealth worth more than one hundred thousand taels will be noticed by others.

"Although it is a good thing to be able to find these silver, I'm afraid we will have trouble next."

Bai Shier, who was thinking this in his heart, looked at the spy, and when he saw the other party's desolate appearance, his face couldn't help but become solemn, and he said in a deep voice.

Peng Zhenlei's face suddenly became solemn, and the other people who were still immersed in the joy of discovering so much wealth could not help but be stunned. Then they immediately understood what Bai Shier meant, and their faces also became solemn.

Not to mention 100,000 taels of silver, even if it is only 10,000 taels, it is probably enough to make countless people fight for it.

There were only seven of them in total, and the sky was completely dark at this time. Those subordinates who were unable to protect Mu Yixing would not be in a hurry to attack the seven of them while taking advantage of the night to rob the money back.

"What should we do now?"

Zhu Jinxuan couldn't help but grab Bai Shier's hand nervously. The other people's eyes also instantly turned to him. After all, if it weren't for his reminder, they might not have noticed something wrong with the spy, and then found the cellar and found the gold and silver.

"Two ways."

Bai Shier did not refuse or think more. He immediately stretched out two fingers and lowered his voice and said.

"One, now we will go down the mountain with valuable things from here as much as possible, tie the guy you caught here, or just kill him."

The first method given by Bai Shier was a bit attentive, but I have to say that this is indeed the safest way. There are only seven of them. Even if they try their best, they can take away much silver. Even if they take those jewelry, jade or calligraphy and paintings, they will only be a thousand taels, and the total is only ten thousand taels.

If the spy who might betray Mu Yixing is left or killed and the body is thrown here, I believe that Mu Yixing's subordinates will definitely be very happy to turn a blind eye and send them off.

"This is impossible, let's talk about a second solution."

Of course, among the people present, I am afraid that only Wen Tailai would agree with this method, but unfortunately, his opinion was really not worth the slightest.

"Then I'll just fight those guys head-on."

Bai Shier, who knew he would get such an answer when he opened his mouth, curled his lips and replied helplessly.

Everyone was stunned by the word he had never heard of, but immediately, after understanding the meaning of "hard work" in his mouth, they couldn't help but complain.

‘Can this be called a solution?’

"However, we can still have a gamble."

But just as Peng Zhenlei frowned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Ye Bi and others complained in their hearts, Bai Shier spoke quietly again.

...

In Quanzhou Prefecture City, Zheng Yixiang was in a bad mood at this time.

After working hard all day and traveling for dozens of miles, in the end, let alone Mu Yixing, even those assassins who had spared their lives to stop him in the city and did not capture any of them alive, and some of them were their bodies.

Not only before he left the city, but after he returned to the city, all he harvested was the only corpses.

What made him even more annoyed was that he was as tired as a dog and ended up finding nothing. The Dongchang actors who were lying in the city to listen to the news received such a big gift as Fang Ritu.

This is really awesome.

"Hundred households, hundreds of households!"

Just as he was drinking irritated, a noisy sound rang in his ears, making his already irritated mood increasingly dissatisfied.

"snort!"

He snorted angrily and smashed the wine glass in his hand on the table. Zheng Yixiang's eyes fixedly glared at the small flag under his subordinate who had not even knocked on the door, and waited for the other party to speak, and then found a way to vent his anger in his heart.

I didn't know that I had become a bad luck in Zheng Yixiang's heart. Although Zheng Yixiang's eyes made his whole body furrowed, he still didn't shut up.

"A big fire ignited northwest of Baihu, and the fire lit up into the sky."

"Bang!"

"Fire outside the city..."

He slapped the table, stood up and planned to take the opportunity to vent his anger in his heart for a day, but he stopped just as he spoke.

Although he did want to vent his anger, he was not yet at the point of forgetting his business, so he immediately understood the meaning.

"The direction of Mount Santai?"

“That’s right.”

Xiaoqi, who had escaped the disaster, quickly replied.

Seeing that Zheng Yixiang, who was bent down and expected to be so could not sit still, she immediately bent her legs and kicked the chair backwards, and ran out the door.

The room that came out was no longer illuminated by candlelight. Under the dark night where the sun had completely set, the cluster of fires rising from the sky in the northwest instantly shone into Zheng Yixiang's eyes.

"Hundred Houses."

The other flag officials who were also trying to report to him saw that he had already left the house, hurriedly approached and bowed.
