Chapter 1356 The Gem Mine of the Tang Merchant
She Bingbing's money village does have a lot of income, but she also spends a lot.
That Fei Xuechun's economic strength is definitely in the first place among the local businessmen of the Tang Dynasty.
The Great Commander of the Waddin Clan, Van Lant, he was the same as the merchant of the Tang Dynasty, he knew the power of the previous stage.
Van Lant said to his subordinates: "We spent so much energy, but we didn't get any of that Datang's hands, sometimes I wonder if what we did was worth it." ”
That Bai Wangxu said: "I also thought about getting all the treasures of that Datang, but when I thought about that Datang's army, I had to give up this plan." ”
Van Lante, the leader of the Vaddin people, said: "Indeed, after that Tang Zhangwei is out, no one can control that Tang Dynasty's army alone. ”
It's a pity that there are many people in that Wattin and that Bai Wangxu's subordinates who are not convinced by that Tang Zhangwei.
However, it is useless for them to be unconvinced.
Bai Cunxiao said again: "Tang Zhaozong's suspicion is already very big, Bai Wushu, you also go there, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold your breath." ”
The sun shines on the surface of the river, reflecting the bottom of the river, and the bank wall is full of boulders, and I don't know if it was deliberately installed by She Bingbing Qianzhuang. Catherine swam back and forth in the vicinity several times, but the river was so turbid that it was difficult for anyone on the shore to notice it.
Catherine heard a strange sound, a little hollow.
There were two large boulders embedded in the shore wall, and there was just enough space in the middle for a man to swim through.
Catherine did not hesitate to cross the boulder, strange that her hands could not touch the real thing, and she flicked her feet again, and the person rushed straight into it like a fish. It appeared to be a hole, more like a waterway, four feet wide and six feet high.
The waterway is fifty or sixty zhang deep, and at the end of the wall there are several recesses dug for stepping on, like stone stairs. Catherine poked out of the water and climbed up, the river lapping on both sides of the waterway with a hollow sound.
At the end of the stone steps, there is another corridor, six feet long and one foot five feet deep.
At the end of the road, there is a stone staircase, which is as high as the top of the cave.
Catherine didn't dare to venture into the road, for fear that the water droplets on her body would drop to the ground and leak her treasures. Her beautiful eyes were searching as hard as they could.
A set of brown men's clothes sits on the road. The ground was damp. Catherine's heart moved, and her whole body was exposed to the water, and she waited until the water on her body was almost dripping before stepping onto the road.
"Swallow three copies of water" jumped to the end, climbed the stone ladder, and on the top was a three-foot square iron plate.
Catherine's right ear was pressed against the iron plate and listened for a while, there was no sound on it, she gritted her teeth, pressed her hands on the iron plate and slowly exerted force, and the iron plate gradually rose.
Half a foot higher, Catherine could tell through the crack that there was a room above, and possibly a study.
There is no one in this room. Catherine was bold enough to move the iron plate aside a foot and stick her head out to look.
Above her head was a bookcase.
There are several bricks embedded in the iron plate.
Yes, this room is a study, looking at the equipment and scale of the study, the owner must be an ordinary person. Catherine did not dare to stay longer, so she put the iron plate away, walked down the stone stairs, crossed the road, jumped into the water again, and swam out the way she had come.
Catherine went ashore and told Tang Zhangwei what she had seen.
Tang Zhangwei's heart was beating wildly, "It seems that Tang Zhaozong really has a problem!" The voice was full of surprise.
Catherine said: "There is a set of clothes on the Yongdao, it seems that Tang Zhaozong has left from the waterway, and he has not yet returned, I will wait here, you go and release the carrier pigeons." ”
Tang Zhangwei hurriedly wrote a brief letter with charcoal, stuffed it in a copper pipe, tied it to the pigeon's feet, and put his hands upward.
The carrier pigeon circled in the sky and recognized the direction,
In the blink of an eye, there was only one white dot left.
The afterglow of dusk is reflected on the surface of the river, sparkling brightly. That day, he went to Tang Zhaozong's house and found that he was sneezing frequently, which may have caused him to suffer from allergies, but when he went to inquire about the "golden spoon" Bai Cunxiao for the second time, he did not sneeze, what is the reason?
It was because his nose had to be immersed in water for a long time before the allergy attacked.
When Bai Cunxiao thought of this, his heart moved, and he thought of another thing.
On the morning of 16 August, Tang Zhaozong also sneezed violently, proving that he had not gone to reunite with his family the night before, that is, at midnight on 15 August, but had only used this excuse to enter the waterway from his study, and then dived to the bottom of Empress He's boat.
Probably because Queen He heard the sound from afar, so she also chased ashore, Tang Zhaozong had to kill her without doing anything, and then deliberately laid a false appearance,
Therefore, he behaved very generously and said that he would not pursue it again.
Thinking about it now, in fact, he already had a lot of doubts in the morning, and there was no need to invite Wei Wan'er to the VIP seat - Wei Wan'er was not qualified at all.
His purpose in doing this was nothing more than to show that he looked at him differently, so that even if he was killed in the future, it would not be easy for others to suspect him.
Judging from these, who would have known that Wei Wan'er and Empress He would be boating on the river, and only he could change into a water coat at his own home to chase and kill.
Opening the back garden for guests to visit and release the boat on the river is also his plan at all, and only inviting Wei Wan'er and not the other three people of Jiangbei Sixiu is of course his conspiracy.
When Bai Cunxiao was recuperating from his injuries in She Bingbing Qian Village, he must have been grateful and taught him the lock-picking skills of his life, and Bai Cunxiao left afterwards. ”
Bai Cunxiao thought about some other details, and he was sure that Tang Zhaozong must be the murderer, he let out a long breath, the haze in his heart for several months was swept away, and all that was left was the question of how to arrest him.
The north wind at night was as sharp as a knife, and Tang Zhangwei's hands and feet became stiff, but he didn't dare to move.
Catherine's condition was worse than his, and although she was wearing a water suit, the north wind was blowing, and the chill was even stronger, and she could not help shivering several times.
After the second watch, it snowed again, and from noon to now, there was no drop of water, and it was really hungry and cold. Although Catherine is a girl, her endurance and will are by no means inferior to that of men.
After the fourth watch, the snowflakes had covered her body, leaving only a pair of eyes shining in the dark night.
A dark shadow appeared on the shore in the distance, getting closer and closer, but when he came to a large tree twenty feet away, he stopped, looked around, put his hand into the trunk of the tree, took out a bag of things, and then saw him change his clothes.
Because it was far away, and the sky was dark, it was impossible to see the faces of the people who came.
At this time, Catherine was very anxious, but she did not dare to move.
The man had already changed into his water coat, and then there was a slight sound of water, and the man had jumped into the water.
Catherine and Tang Zhangwei drank a bowl of ginger soup, dissipated the cold, and told Bai Cunxiao what they had seen.
Bai Cunxiao said: "You guys go and rest for a while!" He beckoned again: "Huo Zibo, Hu Scalper, the two of you will go to pick up Bai Wushu in the afternoon." ”。
Hu Huang Niu and Huo Zibo left in response.
Catherine said suddenly: "You stay here, and I will go to the other side, so that he will not go into the water from that side and see clearly." ”
