Chapter 36: The Treasury
After stating his plan, Xiao Yi added another sentence.
"Here, from now until this matter is settled, except for the five of you, no sixth person is allowed to enter."
"This is about our heads, we must not be careless!"
Liu Mingliang, Wang Shan and others nodded heavily, with serious expressions and were very serious.
Everyone knows the pros and cons of this, and no one will make fun of themselves or even the lives of their family members.
After getting assurances from several people, Xiao Yi turned around and left.
"Okay, I'm leaving. Just stay here. Lao Liu, you go to the front and take charge."
…
Return to Juyi Hall.
Before he could sit down, a policeman who had been waiting for a long time came quickly to greet him.
"Chasing God, brothers discovered a secret!"
"Depend on!"
Liu Mingliang was shocked and asked repeatedly: "Chen Ning, please keep your voice down, you want to kill us..."
Not only him, Xiao Yi also frowned and felt a little nervous.
He patted Liu Mingliang's arm to signal him to calm down, and then whispered to Chen Ning: "Come here, talk over here."
Chen Ning was shocked by the two people's reactions. She thought to herself that she hadn't said anything yet, so why...
Moreover, it shouldn’t be fear, but excitement and joy!
"What secret?" Xiao Yi asked.
"Brothers found a basement in Dazhai. It should be the treasury of Heifeng Village. It's full of money!"
Chen Ning was very happy and explained the matter directly.
"call……"
"call……"
Xiao Yi and Liu Mingliang let out a long sigh of relief at the same time. They were really afraid that another batch of ordnance supplies would be seized.
"The vault! Hehe, the vault is great...the vault is great...I just like the vault. Come on, take me to see it."
The worries in his heart were relieved, and Liu Mingliang was in a good mood. He immediately stood up and pulled Chen Ning out, urging him constantly.
Heifeng Village is divided into Dazhai and Xiaozhai. Dazhai is close to the center and is the living and activity area for several village owners and some leaders in the village.
Xiaozhai is located on the periphery, and is the area where ordinary bandits live and move in the village.
In Dazhai.
Outside a large room, more than a dozen people had gathered around.
Everyone looked happy, talking to each other excitedly, and the atmosphere was heated.
"Hey, Lao Wang, how much money do you think there is in it?"
"Three thousand taels, there should be some, right?"
"Haha...three thousand taels? Old Wang, you don't take Heifeng Village seriously!"
"That's right, Heifeng Village is a famous bandit with a radius of hundreds of miles, but he only has three thousand taels in his treasury? Are you kidding..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
While everyone was laughing and talking, Xiao Yi and three others came over.
"Here comes the God Catcher!"
"Zhenshen, we are rich..."
Xiao Yi laughed and said, "It's good to get rich. Who doesn't want to get rich?"
Entering the basement, Xiao Yi only glanced briefly before coming out again.
There were some silver, gold, and copper coins inside. Apart from these, there were no other items, which made him a little disappointed.
He also thought that he might be able to find some correspondence or find some clues that could help him deduce the origin and whereabouts of those arms.
well……
Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and felt that he had taken it for granted.
Half an hour later.
Liu Mingliang and Chen Ning just walked out of the vault.
"Zhenshen, guess how much money is in it?"
Liu Mingliang smiled and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Yi glanced at him and said nothing.
"Hey, it's equivalent to 30,000 taels of silver."
Um?
Xiao Yi was suddenly surprised and blurted out: "That's it?"
"Ah??? This...this...isn't this enough?"
Liu Mingliang suddenly opened his mouth wide, a little tongue-tied, and secretly thought in his mind that catching the gods is indeed catching the gods. This is so powerful that he doesn't even take 30,000 taels in his eyes.
"Forehead……"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xiao Yi actually regretted it and secretly said that he had been hasty.
Thirty thousand taels, in the eyes of ordinary people, is already an astronomical figure, a sum that is out of reach in a lifetime.
But for him, it was really not enough, but he couldn't say that he had just taken hundreds of thousands of taels from the county captain...
"Haha, just kidding, I'll scare you!"
Xiao Yi touched the tip of his nose and laughed to cover up his embarrassment.
After a pause, he whispered again: "Go down and order the five of you to receive three hundred taels each."
"The rest of the brothers, each of them will receive two hundred taels. You will be responsible for keeping the rest for the time being and put it into the capture squad's private treasury."
"That's not possible. Our operation went so smoothly this time mainly because of you. If it weren't for you killing the gods and your overwhelming power, we probably wouldn't even be able to get to the Black Wind Stronghold!"
Liu Mingliang hurriedly refused and said seriously.
"Zhenshen, you have to take the big head. If you don't want it, then none of the brothers will want it..."
Xiao Yi thought for a while, if he refused to take it, it would indeed make other people feel uneasy and embarrassed to reach out.
Then he said casually: "Okay, you can give me one thousand taels!"
"That's not possible, at least two thousand taels!"
"Whatever, it's up to you..."
…
Here, the goods of Huitong Trading Company were also found and counted.
Xue Sandao found Xiao Yi, with a look of excitement and gratitude on his face, and bowed his hands repeatedly.
"Thank you so much, Xiao Daishen, for your generous help. The entire Huitong Trading Company is deeply grateful and deeply touched! When we return to the county, our shopkeeper will definitely come to express our gratitude in person!"
"Haha, you're welcome. Xiao is the head catcher of Linxiang County, so this is his duty."
Xiao Yi said politely.
By this time, it was getting late and approaching dusk.
Since he had captured many bandits and was traveling in the dark, something could easily happen, so Xiao Yi decided to rest one night in Heifeng Village and return tomorrow.
That night, a bandit sneaked into Heifeng Village and set fire to the grain depot, causing a fire. The entire back village was ravaged by fire and reduced to ruins.
Fortunately, he was discovered by Xu Long, who was on duty at night, and his men arrived in time to kill the bandits and prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
…
…
The next day.
early morning.
With the sound of hoofbeats, a group of policemen on horseback, carrying horizontal knives on their waists, slowly entered the gate of Linxiang County.
Behind the policeman, there was a group of people, their hands were tied, their feet were tied to each other, they were stumbling all the way...
This movement immediately attracted the attention of the people on the street. From time to time, some people stopped and looked at the people behind them curiously.
"Who are these people? They look very fierce... Look, that person is still one-eyed!"
"Xiao Catcher is back... Look, that's Xiao Catcher..."
"Oh, I remembered! Those are the bandits from Heifeng Village... No wonder they are so fierce..."
"Haven't you heard about the Huitong Trading Company? Xiao Catcher is very powerful. Once he takes action, Heifeng Village will be captured without any help!"
"The God Catcher is so terrifying..."
…
Chapter completed!
