A knife in love

Chapter 1606

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng already had an idea.He glanced at Liu Shengzongyan who was standing on the bow with a sneer on his face, and saw that he was staring at Xiao Dong, shopkeeper Hu and others, not paying attention to himself, so he whispered to Qin Laowu: "Old brother, if We fought with the Japanese pirates, troubled the fifth brother and several boatmen to get on the boat, raised the sails as soon as possible, and we escaped to the big stone pillar in the middle of the water by boat. No matter how powerful the Japanese pirates are above the water, they can't do anything to us. There are so many boats in this cave, and it is absolutely impossible to get so many boats into the cave with just shoulders and hands. There must be a waterway leading to the outside. As long as we get away from the Japanese pirates on the shore, we will have a chance to escape. Brother Li, please!"

Before entering the secret path, Zhang Shi had quietly approached Qin Lao Wu and told him what Li Qiufeng had ordered.Although Qin Lao Wu has not practiced advanced martial arts, he is very proud of his sailing skills.Therefore, after hearing what Zhang Shi had said, he agreed with all his heart, claiming that if he got on the big boat, with himself and a few boatmen, he would definitely be able to drive the big boat away from the dock, and the Japanese pirates would definitely not be able to catch up.It's just that Qin Lao Wu didn't expect that Morita Ren didn't lead everyone to the pier, but into this huge stone cave.Seeing this situation, Qin Laowu knew that it was impossible to escape into the sea by boat, and he was terrified.Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, he finally felt a little relieved, nodded to Li Qiufeng, and said in a low voice: "Master Li, don't worry, the villain will definitely handle things well."

Li Qiufeng nodded, turned around and strode to a large wooden box, stretched out his hand and pushed the shopkeeper Yin who was holding silver and rubbing it beside the wooden box to the side.Shopkeeper Yin held an ingot of silver in each hand, full of surprises in his heart. When he was dreaming of getting rich, he was suddenly pushed aside by Li Qiufeng. He was first surprised, then furious, and turned his head while cursing: "Zhi Niang!" Thief! Which bastard dares to push me..."

It's just that shopkeeper Yin didn't finish his sentence, and realized that it was Li Qiufeng who pushed him away, so he hurriedly closed his mouth, took two steps back with a sneer, and said in his mouth: "It was Mrs. Li, villain, villain talking nonsense. Forgive me, my lord. If your lord wants to see the silver in the chest, do so. Please, please."

Shopkeeper Yin took two steps back as he spoke, not daring to rush forward again.However, Murong Danyan, Qi Jiu and Wang Xiaoyu could all see clearly, while shopkeeper Yin quietly hid the two ingots of silver in the sleeve of his robe while no one was paying attention to him.

Li Qiufeng didn't even look at Shopkeeper Yin, and looked into the wooden box with his head, only to see that the wooden box was neatly piled up with silver.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, Qin Lao Wu is really good, if he wants to fill the box with silver, he must stack at least thirty or forty layers.He put his hands on the edge of the wooden box, turned his head and sneered at Liu Sheng Zongyan who was standing at the bow, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Thinking about it, it took a lot of hard work!"

When Li Qiufeng said this, his face suddenly changed. He grabbed the edge of the wooden box with both hands, concentrated his internal force on his arms and lifted it vigorously.The big wooden box was immediately picked up from the ground by him, and the mouth of the box was tilted towards the ground.There was a crackling sound, and all the silver in the box fell to the ground.Li Qiufeng smiled, put the box on the ground slowly, turned to Xiao Dong, Zhang Shi, shopkeeper Hu and others and said: "Master Xiao, Zhang Yuanwai, shopkeepers, everyone, come and have a look, there are other things in this box." Article!"

Seeing Li Qiufeng overturning the box, Liu Sheng Zongyan was startled even though he was always in a moody mood. He involuntarily held the umbrella handle with his right hand and stared at Li Qiufeng closely.As soon as their eyes met, they were immediately entangled, which seemed to spark a series of sparks.

Xiao Dong, Zhang Shi, shopkeeper Hu and others saw that Li Qiufeng suddenly overturned the wooden box, and the silver in the box rolled all over the place. Everyone was shocked, not knowing what Li Qiufeng's intention was.Shopkeepers Luo and Song were the most greedy for money. Seeing the white silver scattered all over the ground, and a few ingots of silver rolled down the platform and fell into the water, their hearts ached so much that they felt resentment towards Li Qiufeng.

When Li Qiufeng asked everyone to check the box, Xiao Dong and the others became more and more suspicious, they couldn't help but looked at each other, then walked cautiously to the side of the wooden box, and looked into the box.I saw a wooden board in the box, which was stuck in the box at an angle. It was supposed to be a wooden board used to isolate the interlayer.After the box was lifted up by Li Qiufeng, the planks became loose and got stuck in the box, exposing the interlayer below.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Dong and others became clear-eyed, knowing that Liu Sheng Zongyan had tampered with the box and set up a sandwich to deceive everyone.Shopkeeper Hu, Shopkeeper Yin and others are people who value every penny above money. They have passed countless silver in their lives. Just by looking at it, you can estimate how much silver there is.At this time, when they saw the silver falling all over the ground, and then looked at the box, the six shopkeepers thought to themselves, these Fusang people are really cunning. Judging from the amount of silver, such a big box only puts a maximum of seven coins in it. 800 taels of silver, and then separated the box with a partition, and most of the bottom was empty.It's just that the seven 800 taels of silver are stacked on top of each other. If the box is not overturned, no matter how much you search, you will not be able to find any other mechanisms in the box.Judging from the current situation, most of the rest of the large wooden boxes also have interlayers, and the sum of all the silver is probably less than 1 taels, which is far from the amount of silver that Liu Sheng Zongyan promised to give to everyone.

Shopkeeper Hu and the others were annoyed, and they all turned to look at Liu Shengzongyan.At this time, Duhuxue had already grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand, and a dozen or so black-armored soldiers behind him also grabbed their spears from the deck.Standing on the platform, Shinobu Morita quietly took two steps back, taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, he waved his right hand lightly.The [-] or [-] men in green clothes standing beside him immediately understood, and put their hands on the hilt of their swords one by one, waiting to be killed.

Seeing this situation, Murong Danyan, Qi Jiu and others knew that the situation was imminent, and they were secretly on guard.The murderous aura was overwhelming on board and off the boat, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.Even Wang Xiaoyu held his breath, the palm of his right hand clenched to the hilt of the sword was covered with sweat.

In the silence, Liu Sheng Zongyan suddenly heard a chuckle and said: "Li Shaoxia, shopkeepers, I'm really sorry. Dongliao County is a remote place, there are only five banks in the city, and they are all small businesses. The old man yesterday In the evening, I went out in person and led people to knock on the gate of the bank one by one. After a busy night, I only exchanged more than 6000 taels of cash. Later, the old man had no choice but to go to the bank of the magistrate's office in Dongliao County. Li Zhisheng, the county magistrate, scraped the land for thousands of miles, and only a few hundred taels of silver were left in the treasury. Although there were still thirty or forty thousand taels of copper coins, but the old man promised to pay in cash, so naturally he could not break his promise. What's more, these Copper coins can only be exchanged for more than a thousand taels of silver. Even if you give it to everyone, I am afraid that you will not agree. In desperation, the old man had no choice but to come up with such a dirty way, planning to complete the transaction first, and then make up for the lack of silver Qi. Please don’t blame me for offending you.”
