Chapter 234 One Piece's Treasure
He Liu led people to search the island for six days.Two thousand Qi family soldiers turned Puluo Island upside down.

The account books of Qi's army ration officials became thicker and thicker.On the seventh day, Qi's army demolished all the bamboo buildings on the island, and found all the gold and silver treasures that could be found on the island.

During the seven days on the island, a total of 60 taels of cash was found; 4 taels of gold; a large amount of jewelry, antiques and jade;Adding up the miscellaneous things, it is roughly equivalent to 80 million taels of silver.

He Liu asked Li Bofeng: "You said, have we copied all of Xu Hai's treasures?"

Li Bofeng shook his head: "I'm afraid I only copied half of it. I have been with him for five years. I don't know where he hid the gold and silver, but I probably know how much gold and silver he has robbed over the years. There is always more than 300 million taels." .”

He Liudao: "Eight thousand pirates live on the island, and they spend a lot of money to eat, drink, and scatter. He robbed 300 million taels, maybe he spent a small half of it on his brothers?"

Li Bofeng smiled: "Sixth Master, you don't know Xu Hai. Yingzuo Pingcheng has a very appropriate evaluation of him - saying that he is a Pixiu who only eats but doesn't eat! On weekdays, the food and drink of eight thousand pirates on the island, Either they landed to grab food from the people on the southeast coast, or grabbed supplies from passing fishing boats. Even though sometimes they didn’t have enough to eat, Xu Hai bought supplies from the Japanese Satsuma clan, and Xu Hai also bought the cheapest moldy rice and rotten vegetables. It is common for eight thousand pirates not to be able to eat meat for two or three months!"

He Liu thought for a while, and said: "In this way, about half of the treasures have not been found. We have turned Puluo Island, where will he hide the remaining half of the treasures?"

Li Bofeng said: "We didn't miss any place on the island, we searched all of them."

He Liu suddenly remembered something: "Back in Shenzhuang, he once told me that all his treasures were hidden in the depths of the sea. The depths of the sea? If the silver has entered the depths of the sea, naturally it cannot be retrieved. .unless..."

He Liu suddenly glanced at a floating lighthouse on the east coast of Puluo Island.This floating lighthouse is built on a Fuchuan as the foundation, and a lighthouse is added to the mast of the Fuchuan.With this lighthouse, ships returning to the island in foggy days will not be able to find the location of the port.

Li Bofeng followed He Liu's gaze and said, "Master Liu suspects that Xu Hai hid the treasure in the floating lighthouse? Impossible. Wu Weizhong from a hundred households took people to the floating lighthouse in a boat the day before yesterday. Then The base of the lighthouse is a blessing boat. Our brothers searched the deck, wheelhouse, cabin, and hold of the blessing boat, but found no treasure! As for the lighthouse on the mast, there is only room for two people to stand, and there is nothing hidden at all. .”

He Liu smiled: "Is there a place that I haven't searched before? Let me ask you, what is the floating lighthouse fixed there?"

Li Bofeng said: "Naturally use the anchor of Dijifu's boat."

He Liu asked, "Have they seen the anchor in the water?"

Li Bofeng shook his head: "Master Liu, don't you suspect that the anchor is made of gold?"

He Liudao: "That's not true. However, I smell silver from the lighthouse. My nose can't be wrong. Come on, let's go to the lighthouse for a walk."

He Liu led dozens of people, rowed four small boats, and boarded the Dijifu boat under the lighthouse.

He Liu asked the soldiers: "Which one of you is good at water? Go into the water and explore the anchor that Jifu's boat has planted."

Li Bofeng volunteered: "Sixth Master, I have been by Xu Hai's side for five years, floating on the sea every day. My water skills are the best among the eight generals in Puluo Island. I will go into the water to find out!"

He Liu patted Li Bofeng's shoulder: "Okay, be careful after entering the water. If you don't have enough breath, come up."

Li Bofeng took off his clothes and plunged into the water.

After a while, he floated up, leaned against a small boat, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Master Liu, I found something!"

He Liu hurriedly asked, "What discovery?"

Li Bofeng said: "The anchor did not fall to the bottom of the sea at all! Instead, it was suspended in the middle of the sea! This anchor is a bit strange, it is not a triangular anchor, but an octagonal anchor! Ten children's arms are tied to each anchor tip. The thick and thin ropes go straight to the bottom of the sea. There are eighty ropes in total! I tried it, and it seems that there is something heavy attached to the ropes."

He Liudao: "That's right! Eighty ropes are tied to it, maybe it's the other half of Xu Hai's treasure! Can the Dijifu boat of this lighthouse still move?"

Li Bofeng said: "The oarhouses in the bilge and the sails on the mast are all intact and can be started."

He Liudao: "Okay, let's drive the Dijifu boat to the shore immediately."

Li Bofeng ordered people to raise the sails, and then ordered people to row the oars in the oar room, but the blessing boat did not move at all.

Li Bofeng said to He Liu: "Master Liu, maybe the anchor is tied to millions of taels of silver. If so, even ten lucky boats can't move them!"

He Liudao: "Ten lucky boats can't pull it, what if we have thirty lucky boats working together?"

When He Liu returned to the shore, he made arrangements like this and this.

It took two hours for Qi's army soldiers to gather [-] lucky boats to the floating lighthouse.For each blessing boat, a large anchor rope as thick as a strong man's arm is tied to the base boat.

He Liu ordered people to raise the semaphore, and the thirty lucky boats set sail at the same time, and all the soldiers were rowing in the oar cabins.The Diki Fu boat finally moved.

Thirty lucky boats worked hard, and it took an hour to drag Diji Fuchuan to Repulse Bay.

Repulse Bay is only three or four feet deep.You can see directly through the sea to the bottom of the sea.

Li Bofeng said in surprise: "Liu Ye, look quickly! There are dozens of large wooden boxes dragging behind the Dijifu boat!"

He Liu smiled and said: "Okay! Send out all our small boats, and every five small boats will work together to drag a wooden box with a rope, and I will drag them all to the shore!"

After a whole day's work, dozens of large wooden boxes finally arrived at the shore.He Liuyi counted, and there were eighty wooden boxes.

A copper lock is hung on each large wooden box.He Liu and Li Bofeng each carried a big hammer and smashed the eighty copper locks one by one.

He Liu pushed open the lid of one of the boxes, and saw that the box was full of silver ingots, silver bricks, and some Japanese silver coins!
The eighty boxes were opened one by one, and the inside was full of yellow and white things!
Li Bofeng shouted excitedly: "Sixth Lord, I found it! All the treasures of One Piece King Xu Hai have been found!"

He Liu shouted loudly: "Where is the official of the grain platform? Come on, make an inventory!"

The grain and Taiwan officials counted and found that in the eighty wooden boxes, there were a total of 70 taels of silver and 5 taels of gold!This time, He Liu came to Puluo Island to "ransack his house" and obtained a total of 300 million taels of silver!

The soldiers of Qi's army sealed the belongings overnight and moved them to [-] lucky boats.

As night fell, Li Bofeng said: "Sixth Master, this trip, we really have a rewarding experience!"

He Liudao: "Brothers have worked hard for the past seven days on the island. Let's rest on the island for a day and two nights. In the morning of the next day, we will set sail and return to Zhejiang!
