Chapter 431 Confiscating Property (Part 2)

Having received confirmation from the ruthless concubine, the vanguard commander, unable to wait for the Rat King's return, immediately ordered his subordinates to get to work.

He sat casually by the well, waiting for everyone to surprise him.

Before joy arrived, surprise came first.

A series of deafening explosions, like thunderclaps, rang out at the main entrance of the courtyard.

The main gate of the courtyard was buzzing with the sound of the explosion.

The vanguard officer's expression changed: "What's going on?"

Outside the door, there was a commotion of voices.

Someone ran in to reply:

"Boss, there really is something inside the bellies of those two stone lions at the entrance."

"It was blown up? What was inside?"

"Gold cakes, gold cakes! So many gold cakes! Each cake weighs a pound!"

The weight of the gold ingot startled the vanguard officer, who dashed out of the main courtyard in a flash.

how to say.

Even his Dao heart is somewhat unstable.

It's like a novice player just entering the game, and the big boss is already busy giving out gold coins.

The dazzling golden color blinded everyone and stimulated their greedy nerves.

With the secret of the stone lions at the main gate of the Zan family compound exposed, all the large statues inside the compound were subsequently smashed open to see what was inside.

Unfortunately, good fortune did not return.

Next.

The Zan Family Manor, which took more than 100,000 people two years to build and covered an area of ​​70 acres, was forcibly demolished by the imperial army.

The first thing to be demolished was the wall surrounding the Zan family compound.

The wall enclosing the seventy-acre estate is about three zhang high and half a meter thick, and it is made of glutinous rice paste and blue bricks.

Demolishing the entire wall is no small undertaking.

"Should we demolish it?"

"Tear it down! I'd rather tear down the entire compound than leave a single brick behind."

As he gave the orders, the vanguard officer chewed on a gold ingot and smacked his teeth.

An hour later.

King Atu, soaking wet, appeared before the vanguard camp.

"squeak"

Its two front paws were gesturing incessantly, and its large, bright eyes were very lively.

They have a very expressive face.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, I can't understand your mouse language. How about I guess your answer? If I guess right, will you squeak?"

"squeak!"

"Oh my goodness, you're truly a divine beast! Are you saying you've found the bandit leader's treasure vault?"

"squeak!"

"Good, good, there really is a treasure vault. Is the treasure vault hidden at the bottom of this well?"

"Squeak!"

"You guessed wrong? It's not in the well? Then where is it? Can you take us to see it?"

"squeak"

The king's language system was disorganized, and he couldn't express himself clearly, so he could only use actions to tell the vanguard the location of the treasure vault.

At first, the vanguard and the others thought that the treasure vault of the Zan family compound was just a simple underground storeroom.

How do they know?

As you follow the Rat King down through the secret passage, you'll find yourself in a complex underground labyrinth spread throughout the entire manor.

The entrances to the underground labyrinth are located in several unusually secluded corners of the manor.

The main entrance is located in the bathhouse of the main courtyard where Zan Jiu lived.

Everyone knows that the Ninth King's greatest hobby is taking a bath.

He disliked bathing with beautiful women.

Soaking for several hours at a time.

It turns out that one wall at the back of this bathroom, which is about ten square meters, can actually rotate.

Once inside, there are stairs leading to the underground labyrinth.

The stairs descend several meters, leading to the main path of the maze.

The main road is about two meters wide and three meters high, paved with glossy rock, very spacious, and waterproofed to prevent water seepage during the rainy season. This is to ensure air circulation within the underground labyrinth.

The designers added ventilation holes at intervals along the top of the passageway, so that a group of a thousand people could walk through without feeling stuffy.

The Rat King led the way.

The crowd gasped in amazement as they walked.

Without it.

Too arrogant!

The lighting fixtures used in this maze are quite luxurious.

A luminous pearl was placed every ten meters along the walls of the secret passage.

Judging from the halo, the bead is definitely not small.

In addition to the luminous pearl, the designers also installed glass reflectors at some important intersections.

This results in excellent lighting within the passageway.

Everyone couldn't help but drool:

"Boss, even before the previous dynasty's imperial palace squandered all its wealth, it didn't have this many luminous pearls and glass mirrors, did it?"

Vanguard: "Tell the people behind not to move and to follow the King through the area first."

dare not move.

I really wouldn't dare to do it so easily.

Who knows, we might encounter some deadly traps.

Just follow along and navigate the maze.

After walking for a while, they finally realized something was wrong.

Because the designers of the underground labyrinth deliberately created many fake passages and dead ends in the labyrinth's corridors.

Fake channels and real channels look the same.

The Rat King led them through it once, and once inside, it felt like they were in a maze.

I don't even dare to try what's inside a dead end, for fear of encountering numerous traps or mechanisms.

Thankfully, it was the King of Rats, who left urine marks at every intersection it passed, so it didn't lead anyone into the ditch.

Just when everyone was completely confused, they finally saw a large, embedded iron gate, more than two meters wide and three meters high, standing in front of them.

The vanguard officer's heart trembled. "Your Majesty, beyond this gate lies the thieves' treasure trove?"

King: "Squeak!"

"Good, good! Brothers, there's treasure ahead!"

"Get to work! Get to work!"

This job is really tough!
There is no way to start.

Even after using several thunderbolts, they couldn't blast a crater in the iron gate.

The vanguard officer, shamelessly pleading with the Rat King, said, "At this crucial moment, we still need your help!"

The obsequious tone of this two-legged creature is unbearable to watch.

The sliding knee movement was too fast.

Unfortunately, the Rat King fell for it!
The king isn't stupid; he wouldn't try to force his way through that meter-thick iron gate with his teeth.

The door is recessed and slides up and down on tracks.

It led everyone directly downwards to dig, reaching a depth of more than five meters underground in one go, onto the track.

News of the discovery of the underground treasure vault quickly reached headquarters.

The good son-in-law Gan Mingfu and the imperial bodyguard with a big beard were both sent by Emperor Qianwu to witness this great moment.

The heavy iron gate, having lost the support of the left and right sides and the ground, was no longer an obstacle.

But the scene behind the door made everyone's teeth ache.

What treasure trove is it?
It's clearly an armory!

It covers an area of ​​approximately 300 square meters and is divided into three sections.

In the first district, there are approximately 30,000 short knives popular in the southwest region.

The S-shaped handguard is designed to block and lock the opponent's weapon.

There are also more than a thousand Hundred-Shot Cannons.

The Baizi Chong was a large-sized shotgun produced by the Bashu Weapons Bureau, with a wide range of firepower and strong destructive power.

In other words, the current manufacturing process of this type of firearm is inadequate, and the frequency of barrel explosions is even higher than that of traditional firearms.

Otherwise, if all the money were used on the imperial army, it would be enough to cause trouble for everyone.

The second section of the armory stores ammunition, and moisture-proof wooden cabinets were custom-made for this ammunition.

The third district contains thousands of sets of rattan armor.
