Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 231
The next morning, He Liu divided two thousand soldiers into ten teams, and nine of them searched the bamboo houses where the pirates lived on the island like a sieve.

He Liu said in a loud voice: "Brothers! Every needle and thread on this island is the people's fat and people's ointment of the people in the southeast! Remember, no matter whether it is a sword or a pot, bowls and pans, as long as it is worth a few dollars, I will move it to you. On the lucky boat!"

The nine teams split up to search the bamboo houses where the Japanese pirates lived. He Liuze and Li Bofeng personally led a team to search for treasures in the meeting hall.

According to the old rules of confiscating the house, He Liuxian walked around the meeting hall.This meeting hall is actually not very big, about fifteen feet long and ten feet wide.

Last time when I first met Xu Hai in the conference hall, as soon as Xu Hai pulled the armrest of the grand master's chair, a secret room appeared.

He Liu walked up to the grand teacher's chair.I saw that the armrests of this chair are extremely delicate, they are wedged by two wooden wedges and can be moved.

He Liu pulled the armrest vigorously, only to hear a "bang", and a door appeared on the east wall of the meeting hall.

This door seems to be an iron gate.He Liu pushed hard, and the iron door opened.He and Li Bofeng entered the secret room.

The walls of the secret room are covered with Japanese knives and firecrackers.But there was no treasure of gold and silver.

He Liu took out the ground listener and the tiger on the wall, and spent half an hour listening to the ground and scratching the wall.I searched the secret room inch by inch, but found nothing.There is no hidden compartment for hiding silver on the floor and walls of this secret room.

He Liudao: "It seems that there is indeed no gold or silver in this secret room."

Li Bofeng asked: "Sixth Master, let's search outside the secret room?"

He Liu smiled: "Don't worry! There are more than 30 high-grade Japanese swords hanging on the wall. They are all made of fine steel and have exquisite scabbards. Many generals in the capital like to collect Japanese swords. These Lao Shizi It can be sold for 5000 taels of silver. There are also more than [-] Francophone guns, all of which are new guns with oiled barrels, and they are also worth [-] or [-] taels of silver. The sum of these two things is not [-] Have you got the money? Come on! Move them all away!"

Five or six soldiers entered the secret room and moved Japanese swords and firecrackers out of the meeting hall.

He Liu said to Li Bofeng: "When a house is confiscated, it must be cleaned up. It is like a farmer's autumn harvest. He has to move the bundles of wheat back to the granary and pick up the leftover ears of wheat. All the gold and silver must be confiscated. , pots and pans, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, everything that can be sold for money, must not be let go."

Li Bofeng cupped his hands and said: "You have been taught, Sixth Master. This secret room has been searched. It's time for us to search outside the secret room now."

He Liu nodded: "Well, let's go out."

As soon as He Liu stepped out of the secret room door, he turned around and said, "Wait a minute. Something seems wrong. I seem to smell... the smell of gold and silver."

Li Bofeng was at a loss: "Sixth Lord, this gold and silver still has a smell, can you smell it?"

He Liu smiled and said, "There is an old man in Jinyiwei, Mr. Hu. He often said that when I was looking for money, my nose was sharper than a dog's!"

Li Bofeng accompanied him with a smile: "The sixth master is really funny. But didn't you say that there are no hidden compartments in this secret room? The Japanese sword and firecrackers have also been moved out. Where are there any valuable items?"

He Liu went around the secret room again.He looked around and said as he walked, "You have to be patient when copying the house. Sometimes, you think you have copied it clean, but it is not clean."

He Liu's eyes suddenly stopped at the door!
He walked quickly to the door and carefully looked at the big iron door.

Li Bofeng was surprised: "Master Liu, you don't mean to take down this iron door and take it away with you? That's right, this big iron door always weighs hundreds of catties. If it is cast iron, it can be melted to make a lot." The kitchen knives and agricultural tools are always worth more than ten taels of silver."

But He Liu smiled: "No, this iron gate is definitely not as simple as a dozen taels of silver! Come on! Bring a pickaxe!"

A soldier brought a pickaxe.He Liu took the pickaxe and planed hard towards the iron gate!
"Dang!"

This iron gate is not a complete piece.The outside was actually covered with a layer of iron sheet.The pick threw a small hole in the iron sheet.A piece of gold in the small hole!
He Liu pointed to the small hole: "Did you see it? This is a veritable golden door! The outside of the door is covered with iron sheets, but the inside is made of real gold bricks!"

He Liu handed the pickaxe to Li Bofeng, and said one word: "Planing!"

Li Bofeng spat on his hands, swung the pickaxe and slammed it hard at the iron gate.

After a stick of incense, a big hole was dug out of the iron sheet wrapped around the "iron gate".

I saw layers of golden bricks stacked tightly between the two layers of iron sheets.

Li Bofeng went through the big hole, took out the gold bricks one by one, and put them on the ground.Tired and sweating profusely, he finally hollowed out the gold bricks in the iron sandwich.

These gold bricks are all 100 taels.After counting, there was a total of 60 yuan, a total of 6000 taels of gold, and 6 taels of silver!

He Liu scolded with a smile: "Damn, this man is born to hide things! Xu Hai, a pirate, hides gold and silver in a way that is no less than those big corrupt officials!"

Li Bofeng moved 60 yuan of gold bricks, and was so tired that he was out of breath: "Sixth Lord, today I have seen your old clever means of confiscating the house!"

He Liudao: "I am the governor of Beizhen, and now I also have the position of inspecting thousands of households. House raids are my ancestral craft. Bofeng, let me put the words here for now. I only have one daughter now. Your sister-in-law already has one." She was seven months pregnant. If she gave birth to a daughter this time, the craftsmanship of this Jinyiwei official’s house raiding will inevitably be lost. If you are willing, I can pass on the craftsmanship of house raiding to you from now on!”

When He Liu said this, he was trying to win over Li Bofeng.

The boss in an ordinary shop always likes to say to the clerk: "My sons and daughters are not filial. If you hand over this business to them, you will inevitably fail. You are a person who can do things. After I die, my business will be handed over to you sooner or later." .”

In fact, this is just a trick of the boss to lure the guys to work hard.No matter how close a man is, can he kiss the boss's own children?

This is like hanging a radish on the top of a donkey's head. In order to eat the radish, the donkey has to pull the cart forward desperately.

He Liu, the envoy of Jinyiwei North Town, is now playing the same tricks as ordinary shop owners.He wants to show respect to Li Bofeng.In this way, Li Bofeng will be able to work for him wholeheartedly in the future.

How long has He Liu known Li Bofeng?How could it be possible to teach him the art of eating?The cat teaches the tiger how to climb the tree, maybe one day it will be eaten by the tiger!Over the years, He Liu has experienced ups and downs, and he has developed a habit: no matter how much he trusts a person, there must be a limit.

Li Bofeng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly cupped his hands: "Thank you, Master Liu, for your cultivation!"

He Liu smiled: "Wrong, I didn't cultivate you, but the court cultivated you!"

He Liu ordered people to move the 60 yuan gold bricks outside the meeting hall.He took out the ground listening again and started listening to the ground in the hall.
