Turbulent Times Chapter 133: Wang Junlin’s plan
(Thank you very much for the support of Wanbi again.)
There were more than 20 wooden boxes piled up on both sides. The wooden boxes were open without locks. Inside were all silver ingots of the same size and shape. Wang Junlin quickly estimated that there were about 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver.
And there is a wooden frame in the middle, and there is only a small iron box on the wooden frame, which contains a thousand taels of gold.
Of course Wang Junlin was not looking for gold and silver. If this was just an ordinary store, then everything he saw should be complete. In the secret room of an ordinary store, there are only gold, silver and ledgers. A shop with illegal business activities, so there must be a secret ledger, but no other place. There are indications that the secret ledger can only be hidden in it.
Wang Junlin observed carefully for a while, and then asked people to bring the oil lamps and lanterns closer, allowing the light to illuminate the wall behind the wooden frame. unusual.
After some groping, he found a thin gap that was almost invisible to the naked eye. Overjoyed, Wang Junlin took out the Dragon Sparrow Knife and gently inserted it into the gap, prying slightly, a small wooden door one foot square was pried Opened it, and there was only one thing in it—the ledger.
Wang Junlin quickly opened it and looked at a few pages. It was indeed what he wanted, and besides the Khitan side, there were actually Dong. Turkic buyers. Speaking of which, pig iron can be traded for no less than 100,000 catties, and the price is seven or eight times that of the Central Plains.
Seeing Wang Junlin heaving a long sigh of relief, with a look of joy on his face, several marquis officials also greeted him excitedly. Among them, the leading marquis official smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for finding the secret account book!" , and made new contributions.”
This person's name is Huang Baochang, and on the surface he is a fifth-rank general. Although he has never told Wang Junlin about his official position in the Houguan system, Wang Junlin has a vague feeling that this person's status in the Houguan system is not low. . This can be seen from how much the old **** Du Luoge attaches importance to Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin smiled and nodded, "Brother Huang, you think I still need these credits."
As he spoke, he handed the ledger directly to Huang Baochang.
Huang Baochang's eyes flashed brightly, followed by a flash of surprise in the depths of his eyes, but he did not expect Wang Junlin to act with such grandeur. He took the account book with both hands, bowed deeply, and said, "That lowly rank is disrespectful." Already."
Wang Junlin smiled slightly, glanced across the entire secret room, pointed to the box containing gold and silver, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, this box of gold will be handed over to you Commander Du, and these boxes of silver will be handed over to Huang." Bro deal with it!"
This time, not only Huang Baochang, but all the officials were overjoyed when they heard the words, tens of thousands of taels of silver, even if ten people split it equally, it would be enough for each of them to make a fortune.
"Thank you, Lord Hou." Under the leadership of Huang Baochang, everyone expressed their gratitude to Wang Junlin from the bottom of their hearts.
"Master Hou, brothers have made a note of this favor. If Master Hou needs help from you brothers in the future, feel free to ask." Huang Baochang said sincerely.
"Brother Huang and the brothers are polite." Wang Junlin was waiting for this sentence, he was too aware of the benefits and effects of making good friends with internal and external officials.
As soon as everyone left the underground secret room, one of Wang Junlin's guards, who was letting the wind outside, quickly ran to the backyard and whispered to Wang Junlin, "Master, there are men in black coming here, about fifty The rest of them, judging from their speed, are not weak hands."
"How did Changping Prince's Mansion get the news...the four of you find a place to hide outside the shop, keep quiet and let them in!" Wang Junlin said immediately with a flash of his eyes.
"Here!" The guard took the order and left.
Wang Junlin glanced at the captives and ten marquis officers in the backyard, and said, "Brother Huang, brothers, please gag these captives and lock them all into the basement. The others quickly climbed up to the roof and hid themselves. Then turn off the lights, and follow my orders to kill the enemy later."
The ten marquis officials already knew that Wang Junlin gave them not only the credit but also distributed them tens of thousands of taels of silver. Huang Baochang even said: "Master Hou, do you want to send someone from the lower officials to mobilize some more people?"
When Wang Junlin heard this, he thought it was just what I wanted, and this person could mobilize more officials to come over. His status in the official residence was not low, so he narrowed his eyes and said, "That's fine! When the time comes, they must all be masters, and the brothers are His Majesty's eyes and ears, and it is really not worthwhile to suffer for these people."
Wang Junlin's words were very useful to the princes. Huang Baochang immediately called a prince with the best lightness skills and made arrangements in a low voice, took out his token from his pocket, and handed it to the A marquis official, the latter agreed, and quickly jumped out of the wall from the backyard, disappearing into the night.
…
After half a stick of incense, the door of the Big Hammer Iron shop was pushed open, and Wang Junlin and the others did not clean up the dead body in the front shop. Two black shadows stood at the door and looked around, and did not utter any exclamation when they saw the dead body , but calmly and vigilantly observed the entire store, and after making sure that there was no one there, he waved for the people behind to come one by one.
Then the fifty men in black walked through the iron shop and sneaked towards the backyard. These people were extremely cautious and did not immediately enter the backyard. Instead, hide at the door leading to the backyard first, quietly listening and observing the scene in the backyard.
Wang Junlin will naturally not be found, and the nine officials led by Huang Baochang are also good at hiding their figures. In addition, in the dark night, with the help of the light of the stars and the moon, their vision is very limited, so these men in black And nothing was found.
A moment later, more than fifty people in black rushed into the backyard one by one, and one of them gave an order, and these people lit three torches with torches, illuminating most of the backyard, but Wang Junlin and everyone Hou Guan crawled on the roof, which happened to be a dark place under the lamp, and he was still not noticed at all.
"Half of the people looked around in each room, and the rest followed me." The leading man in black said in a deep voice, and he was about forty years old.
As he spoke, the leading man in black led nearly 30 men in black straight to the grocery store that covered the basement, and found that the iron door of the basement had been opened, and the man in black couldn't help but curse. Said: "Damn it!"
"Boss Chen! There are people below." A man in black next to him suddenly whispered.
"Ten people stay to guard the entrance, and the rest follow me." The leader known as Boss Chen waved his hand, leaving ten people to guard the entrance of the basement, and then rushed in directly with more than 20 other people. basement.
After ten breaths, it was estimated that the man in black who went down to the basement had reached the innermost part, Wang Junlin yelled: "Kill!"
The officials were impatient for waiting, and each of them had a standard crossbow arrow, and they had already aimed at the twenty or so men in black in the courtyard.
Amidst the humming sound of breaking through the air, more than 20 people in black clothes were exposed to the torches, and ten of them fell to the ground amidst the screams. The rest of the dozen or so people hid quickly amid the exclamation. The crossbow arrow in Hou Guan's hand could only shoot one arrow. At the same time as they shot, they had already jumped off the roof and killed the ten or so men in black. .
In the big hammer and iron shop, there was a loud cry of killing, the sound of weapons clashing, and the screams one after another, and the people in the shops around the iron shop were awakened. Looking outside, I don't know what happened in the big hammer and iron shop?
But Wang Junlin didn't want to use his continuous steel crossbow in front of the marquis, but at the first moment, holding the dragon sparrow sword, he quickly rushed to the entrance of the basement. The ten black-clothed guards guarding the basement The man roared and rushed forward with a knife, Wang Junlin slashed across the neck of the man in front with a horizontal knife, blood burst out, and he drew the knife and stabbed the chest of the man behind him, and the eight men in black behind him rushed towards him bravely. .
Wang Junlin let out a loud roar, and swung his knife to meet him. The blade flashed coldly, as fast as lightning, within four or five breaths, he chopped down all the remaining eight people.
In the blink of an eye, a person jumped out of the basement with a loud roar, Wang Junlin seemed to sense it, and at the same time as the person just jumped out, he slashed at him like a thunderbolt.
Amidst the roar, the man hurriedly swung the epee in his hand to block it.
There was a loud bang, and sparks flew in the dark night. Wang Junlin's knife was fired with accumulated strength. This person was able to block it, which is enough to show that this person is at least a master in the stagnation period, but he can't control it. Holding the body, fell into the basement again.
Almost at the same time that this person re-entered the basement, Wang Junlin quickly closed the iron door of the basement as quickly as possible and locked it with an iron chain.
This is an iron plate with a length and width of only three feet, but a thickness of eight inches. At this moment, there was a faint sound of'Boom! Boom! ’ The impact sound was very weak. Letting the people inside scold and smash the iron gate continuously, Wang Junlin is naturally indifferent.
On the other side, Huang Sanbao was also a master, extremely brave, and led nine Houguans to kill several people in a row, but although the Houguan side had the upper hand, one person died, and the two sides were at loggerheads for a short time.
Wang Junlin didn't have any intention of helping, and even thought that it would be better for Hou Guan to die a few more, so that the Changping Palace could offend Hou Guan more severely. Anyway, he killed ten black-clothed men by himself, and blocked more than twenty of the most powerful men in the basement. Afterwards, it can be justified anyway.
Everything was developing as Wang Junlin hoped, and after a while, only five men in black in the yard died, but Hou Guan also died. At this time, the Hou Guan who had gone to call for people came in a hurry with more than 20 Hou Guan. Under Huang Baochang's order, everyone swarmed up and chopped up the last five black-clothed men alive.
Huang Baoqiang brought people over and saw that Wang Junlin was spattered with blood, and there were ten black-clothed men's corpses lying on the ground. Hearing the continuous sound of iron plates, he didn't think much, but clasped his fists at Wang Junlin Asked: "Master Hou, how many thieves are there?"
PS: Sorry for the lateness, I drove back to Tianshui from Lanzhou yesterday to see the baby and daughter-in-law, so I was delayed. Sorry to ask for something.
