Chapter 259 The Mystery of the Bank
Li Ye confirmed repeatedly, and finally he was sure that the gunpowder had not been leaked, and the other party was telling the truth. Kundushi didn't trust anyone at all, and even his confidant guards had to be divided into three, each of whom only controlled a part, and Li Ye immediately interrogated The three guards, after confirming the facts, he immediately ordered his subordinates to execute the three guards.

But there is another person who knows the secret of gunpowder, and that is Kundushi. He not only knows the secret of gunpowder, but also knows the secret of Qiaoling. This person can no longer stay in the world anyway.

Kun Dushi was taken to the barracks by Tang Jun. His head was covered by a black cloth bag, his hands were tied behind his back, and he sat on a stool.

Li Ye stared at him for a moment, then ordered left and right: "Untie his head bag!"

The soldier unbuttoned Kundushi's head bag, revealing a pale face. Although he was almost middle-aged, he still looked very handsome, even more beautiful than a woman.

Kun Dushi took a few deep breaths of air before he noticed the general of the Tang army in front of him.

"Damn bastard!"

Kun Dushi gritted his teeth and cursed, of course he wasn't scolding Li Ye, but his brother Che Bishi for handing himself over to Tang Jun.

"Where did you hide the contents of the gunpowder in the treasure book? Hand it over, and I won't kill you!"

There was a hint of complacency on Kundushi's face, "You, like the big cannibal, want to do everything possible to get the gunpowder formula, shall I let you find it? You are also a smart person, you should know where the safest place is?"

Li Ye nodded, just as he had guessed, Kun Dushi must have destroyed the gunpowder record and remembered it in his mind, so neither Da Shi nor Tang Chao dared to kill him easily.

The safest place he said was his head.

After walking a few steps, Li Ye said coldly again: "Is Shidu your son?"

Kun Dushi suddenly widened his eyes, stared at Li Ye and said, "Who are you? What's wrong with my son?"

"Your son killed Master Mingsong, you should know him!"

"How is my son?" Kun Dushi was anxious and panicked.Can't help but growl.

Li Yebi made a movement of scratching his neck, and said calmly: "He is lucky, I didn't cut off his head, and left him with the whole body!"

"You bastard! You devil!"

Kun Dushi jumped up and wanted to rush towards Li Ye, but was held down by soldiers, who tied him to a chair with a rope, and tied his feet to death. Kun Dushi stared at Li Ye with extremely resentful eyes, and wanted to take a bite swallow him up.

Kundushi had two sons and three daughters. The second son, Shi Jie, was in charge of the king's power when he set off to conquer the Khan. He is his only living son, and the only hope for his descendants to continue.

Unexpectedly, the eldest son was also killed by the person in front of him. At this moment, Kun Dushi was extremely desperate and angry.

Li Ye waved his hand and told the soldiers to back down. He walked slowly to Kundu Stone and said coldly: "Death is imminent, so I will let you understand! I am the descendant of Feilong, and I don't need any gunpowder at all. formula!"

"No wonder."

Kun Dushi closed his eyes in pain. After a long while, he said with a sinister face: "Do you know why I betrayed him? That old monster has no good intentions in accepting me as his apprentice. He is as good as Long Yang. Since that afternoon , I have been waiting for the opportunity to kill him all the time, but it is a pity that God failed to fulfill his wish and let him escape from Qiaoling."

Only then did Li Ye understand why Feilong accepted a prince of a different race as his disciple and still doted on him so much. It turns out that it is not a good thing for a man to be too handsome.

Kun Dushi suddenly stared at Li Ye again, his face full of shock and said: "How could you be his descendant? Are you the same as him, too?"

Li Ye suddenly reached out and pinched Kundushi's cheek, causing Kundushi's mouth to open wide in pain. Li Ye took out a small red bottle from his bosom, wiped off the cork with his fingers, and directly poured a bottle of poisonous wine into it. into the mouth of Kundu Stone.

Li Ye let him go, Kun Dushi coughed desperately, trying to vomit out the poisoned wine, but it didn't work at all.

"You want to poison me to death!" Kun Dushi stared at Li Ye viciously.

"You know too much!"

Kun Dushi suddenly laughed hysterically, "The old monster told me in the middle of the night that he was reincarnated from 800 years later. He was a Taoist priest in the Yuan Dynasty. He wanted to kill the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and take that woman away. Hahaha!"

His laughter stopped suddenly, and an expression of extreme pain appeared on his face. He rolled on the ground with the chair, curled up in pain, his entire face was deformed, and the poison in his body exploded.

Li Ye looked at him coldly, waiting for him to die.

After a while, Kundushi stopped struggling and said weakly, "I know the secrets of Feilong. I told many people. Chebishi is my brother. We talked about everything. I told all these secrets. He, and Chebishi's son, he also knows."

He breathed out more, breathed in less, and finally couldn't speak, and swallowed his last breath.

Li Ye shook his head, this Shi Kun is at the end, and he still wants to kill Bi Shi with his own hands.

Of course Li Ye would not believe it, how could he tell his brother such a thing, if he did, it would not be his turn to sit on the throne, this secret can only be rotted in his stomach.

Li Ye ordered someone to cut off Kundushi's head and soak his head in medicinal water for preservation, but Li Ye was still worried. He ordered the soldiers to search the secret room in Kundushi's bedroom and interrogated that Kundushi again. The confidant of the court lady confirmed that there was no secret room in Kundu Stone, so she closed the case.

Although Kundushi strictly kept the secret of gunpowder because of its own interests, it still kept the secret of gunpowder from spreading to a certain extent.

As for the treasure book, as long as there is no record of gunpowder, it can be kept. The big cannibal took the copy of the military volume, so it should be vigorously promoted in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ye found Chebi Stone again, and said to him: "Gao Shuai originally planned to come to Shi Guo to inquire about the crime in person, but he was persuaded by Master Lianhuasheng, but he had two explanations to me. First, the Kundu Stone Take away, Kun Dushi has already committed suicide in fear of crime, I will take away his head, and his personal property, I will also take away!"

Where is Kundu Stone committing suicide in fear of crime?Che Bishi didn't dare to say more, so he nodded and agreed, "His personal property has been seized, and it hasn't been opened yet. Except for the land, the general can take it away."

"The second one is more important, and it is Shi Guo's treasury. Gao Shuai specified that he wants the treasury!"

Chebishi's face turned pale, unable to utter a word, Li Ye smiled and said, "I don't really understand, what is the bank, isn't it the national treasury?"

Chebishi sighed and said: "Shiguo is the largest silver-producing country in the Hezhong area, with an annual output of 10 taels of silver. The reason why Dashi has given so many promises to Kundu Stone is because of Shiguo's silver mines. Sogdian merchants brought a large amount of silver to Datang to exchange for silk and porcelain, all of which were domestically produced silver in Shi, and we kept 100 million taels of silver for use in times of crisis in Shi, so it was called the silver bank, and Gao Shuai was talking about it .”

Li Ye suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where is the silver mine?"

"Near Talas City, there are three large silver mines there, so Talas City is also called the City of Silver."

Only then did Li Ye suddenly understand why the Tang army and the Dashi army broke out in a fierce battle in Talas City. It turned out that they wanted to compete for the silver mines of the Shi Kingdom. Realizing this, he paid more attention to the silver mines in Shiguo, and he sent troops to Talas to fight for the silver mines in Shiguo.

Why is there so much gold in Bahana? It should be self-produced gold. Shi Guo attacked Bahana in order to plunder the gold in Bahana.

Li Ye was silent for a moment and said: "Money is something outside the body, and it is the best choice for the Shi Kingdom to be able to save money and avoid disasters. The whole country will be worried about massacring the city and destroying the country.”

Chebi Stone is also connected, the treasury is gone, and it can be mined again, but if the people of Shi Country are slaughtered, there will be nothing left.

He nodded, "Okay! I will hand over the bank treasury to General Li!"

　[The outbreak of the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Arabs in Shiguo was indeed related to the silver mine. Tuozhi City, the city of Shiwangwang, is the capital of Uzbekistan today, Tashkent. The Lashkerek silver mine in the north of it was mined before the Tang Dynasty. The region's largest silver mine also produces gold.

　　Gao Xianzhi slaughtered the Shi Kingdom to plunder the country’s silver and gold. In addition, the Anxi Tang Army also mined gold and silver mines near Suiye City. Throughout the Middle Ages, Central Asia was known as the Silver Empire. Countries are rich in silver related. 】
