The Buddha statue in the Dharma Hall is hollow, connected to an earthen staircase with more than 30 steps underground.Long Xingtu ordered the catcher to take Chen Sheng and the tanuki to the forefront, she and Li Yanzhou followed side by side, and the rest of the people kept their distance and lined up to enter the passage.Li Yanzhou looked around as he walked, and complained ruthlessly, "This tunnel is full of potholes from the wall to the ground, and it is too rough." ”"It's not easy for them to dig tunnels on the sly, they are short of manpower, and the tools are necessarily rudimentary, but it's not easy to do it and keep it sturdy."
Long Xingtu said objectively.Li Yanzhou's mind moved elsewhere, he frowned and whispered: "You have been in the tunnel for a whole day today?"
”Long Xingtu nodded, "Almost." ”As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach screamed at the right time, Li Yanzhou was distressed, and immediately ordered the people behind her, "Shi Feng, I'm hungry, you go out and find some food." ”"Yes, young master!"
Shi Feng clenched his fists and immediately turned back to his original path.Long Xingtu looked at Li Yanzhou sideways, and the silent emotion was hidden in his heart, which could only be conveyed with his eyes.After Shi Feng left, the two of them were next to Prince Xian and Marquis An, since they were their own people, Li Yanzhou boldly stretched out his hand and quietly grabbed the slender five fingers of the Dragon Star Map.Long Xingtu was embarrassed, her face quickly crawled with redness, she tried to shake off Li Yanzhou's claws, but he didn't allow it, if she used force, it would inevitably lead to movement, which was both embarrassing and suspicious!
When he was stalemate, Zhou Su seemed to be choked by the dust and coughed lightly twice.And An Guohou was obviously caring, but he was obviously wrapped in a warning, "Yanzhou, watch the road carefully, beware of falling." ”Hearing this, Li Yanzhou reluctantly let go.Long Xingtu was embarrassed, she didn't have the face to see people at all, she couldn't help but speed up her pace, and deliberately shouted: "Lord Zhao, there is a fork in front, the left leads to the Bell and Drum Tower, and the right leads to Master Huitong's meditation room." ”"Which way do we go first?""
Bell and Drum Tower.""
Okay."
Although the two had a simple conversation, and what they talked about was official business, Li Yanzhou was still angry!
But Long Xingtu's mind has been completely concentrated, and he has all focused on the purpose of this trip.At the end of the passage is under the bell and drum, and along the way, there are no hidden weapons, no large stone and blue bricks, except for the load-bearing wooden beams, almost all of which are made of earth.The people who came with them all thought that they could find the gold that the Qin brothers said, but they searched everywhere, but there was nothing!
In confusion, I heard Long Xingtu say: "When the flood of the Yellow River affected more than 100,000 people, the emperor raised the power of a country, and almost mobilized all the financial resources available to the treasury for disaster relief, a total of 100,000 taels of gold, divided into ten boxes cast of dark iron, each box of 10,000 taels of gold, behind each ingot of gold, are engraved with the word "Zhaotong", which is the treasury cast in the first year of Zhaotong.After the third lieutenant robbed the gold, Han Tong took away three boxes, Wang Bing took three boxes, and Chen Sheng took four boxes.Han Tong in the way to escape, the protection of the gold is not effective, resulting in half of the three boxes of gold in the people, Han Tong in order to keep the only remaining more than 10,000 taels of gold, then buried the gold in a certain grave in the Yanming Mountain Cemetery in Daijiazhuang, Wuyang County, until half a year ago, because of two homicides, this batch of gold was involved, it was able to see the light of day, and has now been sealed in Wuyang County by Du Mingcheng Du.And after the official leveled the Tiger Village, from the confiscated account book, the whereabouts of the other batch of gold that were lost were found, and the three boxes of gold that Han Tong had privately swallowed were almost alive. ”"Before Han Tong died, he left the location where your three lieutenants hid gold, which is three code words, among which the 'Yanming Mountain' has been confirmed, so the 'Buddha jumping over the wall' should be here."
Long Xingtu said this, took a torch from the catcher and shone it on Chen Sheng's face, "This official guesses, you have a tanuki by your side, and the four boxes of gold you took away must be intact, right?"
”Chen Sheng gave up his hand, admiring the abnormal, "Lord Long is clever, you can't accept it!"
”Long Xingtu raised his eyebrows, "It's time to turn it in!"
”"Yes!"
Chen Sheng answered, and in the shocked eyes of everyone, he smashed a black earth wall mixed with charcoal ash with his bare hands!"
Darkiron Box!"
An Guohou exclaimed, staring at the four large boxes neatly hidden in the hole in the wall, in disbelief, "No wonder this batch of disaster relief gold seems to have evaporated from the world, without a trace, it turns out that it is hidden in the court!"
”Shen Rong led the catcher in pairs and carried out all four dusty boxes.Long Xingtu said: "Okay, the air in the tunnel is thin, and it is easy to suffocate after staying for a long time."
Your Excellency returned to the fork in the same way and went out through the entrance of the secret passage in Master Huitong's meditation room. ”On the way out, Zhao Shilang moved to Long Xingtu's side and said curiously: "Lord Long, in order to find you today, this official has inspected Master Huitong's meditation room, and there is no secret way!"
”Long Xingtu Wen Sheng explained: "It is true that there is no mechanism, but one of the bed boards where the master sleeps is hollow. ”Hearing this, Zhao Shilang became more and more surprised, "No, the bed was clean and tidy at that time, the official lifted the futon and carefully knocked on the bed board, all of which were solid, and no abnormalities were found!"
”"Hehe, why do you believe everything I say?"
Long Xingtu suddenly chuckled, and a touch of cunning appeared in his eyes.Zhao Shilang looked at the dragon star map directly, and forgot to continue walking for a while."
At the moment of business, how can you still have idle jokes?"
Li Yanzhou's eyes were gloomy, and he grabbed the arm of the Dragon Star Atlas and walked forward quickly.Long Xingtu was helpless, so he had to respond in a good voice, "Yes, my lord, the lower official knows his mistake!"
”Zhao Shilang slowly came back to his senses and couldn't help but pull his lips self-deprecatingly.The exit is indeed in Master Huitong's meditation room, but what is amazing is that the futon where Master Huitong knelt when he died tragically is the entrance and mechanism of the secret passage!
The four green bricks under the futon look unremarkable, but after injecting internal force into the five fingers and pressing the diagonal green bricks, the wardrobe in the corner of the wall automatically moved to the side, revealing an open space half a person high!
Everyone walked out of the secret passage, and four chests of gold were carried out and placed in the room.Long Xingtu explained to everyone: "This official deliberately stayed in the master's meditation room to rest this morning, just to lure out Chen Sheng, who kidnapped this official last night.Sure enough, Chen Sheng was probably afraid that the official would sleep for a long time and leave the case alone, so he couldn't help but show up, when the official smelled the smell of green plums on Chen Sheng's body, he wanted to chase him out and arrest people, but he didn't sleep last night, he was weak and dizzy, and he was tripped by the futon. ”"Lord Long has done his best to investigate the case, which is really a blessing for the people of the world!"
Yu Shi Bai, the deputy capital of the Supervision Yuan, was quietly watching the situation develop so far, and finally came forward to express his attitude, "This official will advise the emperor to reopen the investigation of Xia Zhihuai's corruption case and track down the whereabouts of Wang Bing and the three boxes of gold he carried!"
