In the afternoon, Zhong Huan led a hundred internal guards to Datong City. They did not ride into the city on horseback, as that would make too much noise and would alert Dou Huang.
Everyone went into the city separately and met at the government office. Zhong Huan led his men straight to the cabinet. Based on his experience, he judged that the gold should still be in the cabinet and would not be taken out for the time being.
The big shopkeeper was shocked when he saw that it was the internal guards handling the case, and he quickly invited them to the guest room.
"I wonder how I can help General?"
Zhong Huan got straight to the point: "A guest named Wang Tao is supposed to rent the treasure house for about a year. I want to know if the things he stored are still there?"
"General, wait a moment, I'll go check it out!"
The big shopkeeper went out and came in not long ago: "There is such a guest who has indeed rented the treasure house. He came here this morning and everything is still there. He only took away a small box."
"Little box?"
Zhong Huan's eyes narrowed, and he vaguely thought of something. Others didn't understand the situation, but he knew it very well. He personally led the team to assassinate Hu Shatu. He saw Hu Shatu experimenting with iron fire thunder, which was exactly the same as the Western Army. That means that
Hu Shatu's iron fire thunder was made based on the Western Army, and Dou Huang was Hu Shatu's swindler. It is very likely that Hu Shatu's iron fire thunder was obtained from Dou Huang, so will Dou Huang still have it?
"Go and open his treasure house!"
The big shopkeeper hesitated, this was absolutely not allowed. Zhong Huan said coldly: "He is Sima Douhuang of Taiyuan. He committed a shocking crime and fled to the Kingdom of Jin with top-secret information. King Yong is trying his best to find him. Open the door quickly.
!”
Zhong Huan is really a bit nervous, do we have to wait until spring?
At this time, the steward suddenly said: "Maybe there is a clue!"
"It seems like someone killed someone!"
The leader was shocked and rushed to snatch it.
The soldier pried open the lid of the box and looked at it. Sure enough, it was all gold. One box was worth a hundred yuan, and one box was about 10 taels. There were ten boxes in total.
"No more. They were all evacuated by the government officials. They are the only ones left."
As expected, the inner guard raised his crossbow and fired, but the three men in black were unable to dodge and were shot down by the crossbow arrows.
Zhong Huan shouted, and hundreds of internal guards rushed forward. Half of the house collapsed, and everyone was buried under the rubble.
At this time, he touched the wooden box on his back. This was his room. He put the iron fire thunder in the corner. The other party didn't even know that it was the iron fire thunder. He slowly took out the match rope and stood up little by little.
I touched the fire sickle from the lamp niche above my head.
The steward shook his head, "I just checked, and there is no contact address. He seemed to have said that he would pick it up in the spring."
Zhong Huan waved his hand, and the internal guards surrounded the inn.
The guards lit torches and turned over the broken wood and tiles with all their hands.
"Even if you kill him, you won't survive!"
"The county captain has been found!"
The first person found was a young woman, already dead.
At this time, Dou Huang heard Zhong Huan's shouting and his heart began to twist. The woman's death finally made him completely sober and restored the sanity of the eldest son of the Dou family. He began to realize the huge impact he had brought to his family and his wife.
shame.
The chief steward didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and he quickly ordered the steward to open the treasure house door.
"I saw him leaving in a customer's oxcart. That person often comes to our shop. Maybe the guy who works for him knows him."
Dou Huang squatted in the corner, staring desperately at the woman on the ground. The woman told him the truth, but was stabbed through the back by the leader's sword. She fell into a pool of blood, breathless, and could no longer survive.
Dou Huang had already learned from the woman that these ten dead soldiers were all guards of the Emperor of Jin, and they were all ruthless. The 10,000 taels of gold and iron fire thunder were dedicated to the Emperor of Jin. He could not even imagine getting a penny. He had already
It's useless. Once the opponent gets the gold and iron fire thunder, it will be his death.
Zhong Huan was overjoyed. He didn't expect to find out so quickly. It was God's will!
As night fell, Zhong Huan led a hundred internal guards to surround the Yuntong Inn.
Zhong Huan saw them and they were in the eastmost room.
"Guard below, listen!"
"What happened?"
The steward opened the first iron door, but the key to the iron door inside was in the hands of the guests. They had nothing to do, but the internal guards had something to do. They used sharp axes to chop down the door, and the door lock clanged to the ground. The iron door opened, revealing the whole thing inside.
Ten boxes neatly packed.
"How many people are there on the other side?" Zhong Huan asked.
Soon, they found Dou Huang near the woman. A big hole was blown in his chest and he was also dead.
Zhong Huan turned around suddenly, "What clue?"
The men in black at the back were so frightened that they stepped back, only to hear them shout: "It's the inner guard, the inner guard is coming!"
Dou Huang gritted his teeth, lit the fire sickle, and lit the match below. The leader turned around and glared at Dou Huang, "What are you doing?"
"Do you have his contact address?" Zhong Huan turned around and asked.
"dash forward!"
The treasure house door was temporarily closed, and everyone came to the lobby. After a while, the steward brought up a waiter. The waiter bowed and said: "That is the shopkeeper of the Yuntong Inn in the north of the city. The middle-aged man who came with him is a guest of his store.
"
"Dig them out!"
"It's Iron Fire Thunder!" The inner guards were experienced and recognized it immediately.
Zhong Huan shouted: "Dou Huang, if you know better, come down and surrender immediately. If you take refuge with the gold thief, your entire family and your descendants will be unable to hold their heads high because of you!"
Zhong Huan frowned, it would only be bad for the government to interfere.
"Idiot!" Zhong Huan yelled angrily. He really failed to accomplish anything but failed.
At this moment, there were several screams in succession, and a group of government officials stumbled out, each running faster than a rabbit. Behind them were several men in black chasing them with knives. The two clerks ran a little slower, and were caught by them.
Cut down.
At this time, the shopkeeper was brought up. He was frightened and trembling all over.
"Are there any other guests on the second floor?"
At this time, a soldier ran over and said: "They captured the county captain Wang Di as a hostage!"
Once he realized this, his heart was swallowed up by endless regret.
Fire burst out, thick smoke erupted, and the wooden building collapsed.
"found one!"
Zhong Huan was deploying soldiers to attack. At this time, he no longer cared about the life and death of the county captain.
Dou Huang took two steps back and laughed miserably, "They are right, I can only atone for the sins of my family and descendants by dying!"
In the room, the leader of the dead soldiers stepped on the back of the county captain Wang Di and watched the movement outside the window. Wang Di's hands and feet were tied behind his back, and he was lying face down on the ground.
Among his five men, two were standing at the door and three were squatting by the window, holding crossbows.
Zhong Huan felt something was strange and immediately ordered a soldier to inquire. After a while, the soldier came back and said: "General, they are on the second floor of the inn. The four rooms on the east side belong to them. There are more than twenty government officials there.
Confront them."
"Hurry up and find out for me!"
"Stop dreaming, he will only die if he surrenders."
"Don't you want iron fire thunder? This is it!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the second floor, "Boom!"
The shopkeeper said tremblingly: "Proprietor Wang and a young woman, there were ten subordinates in the morning, but now. Now there are only six subordinates left."
The leader of the enemy's dead soldiers shouted: "Retreat immediately, otherwise we will chop off the county captain's head!"
The soldiers carried the county captain out. He was lying face down on the ground. Instead, he was not hit by the exploding iron pieces, but his leg was broken by the wood and he fainted.
"He's not dead yet, get him to the hospital quickly!"
The government officials hurriedly carried him away.
Soon, everyone else was found one by one, and almost all of them were hit by flying iron fragments. Four of the six people died on the spot, and the two people guarding the door were dying and could not survive.
