When the people in Fucheng discovered the strange open gate at the gate of Fucheng early in the morning, as well as more than ten soldiers who were supposed to guard the city gate in a hidden place on the city wall, but at this time they were tightly tied up a bunch of soldiers, and even before everyone had time to sigh and be shocked, another even more shocking news spread in the small Fucheng.

Wei Zhongxian's suicide by hanging, and the disappearance of the Wei family's subordinates and private soldiers, who were stationed at the Hakka Hotel last night but were not seen this morning, are more interesting than the city gate being forcibly opened last night.

However, if you combine it carefully, in fact, the city gate was opened by a sneak attack last night, and the fainting of the Wei family's subordinates and private soldiers today is also very related to each other.

Although Yamamoto and the others controlled the Wei family's private soldiers and subordinates, they did not tie each other very firmly, as long as these subordinates and the private soldiers cooperated tacitly, or were physically stronger, it would not take much time to break free from the ropes that bound them.

Yamamoto and the others estimated clearly that if these escaped Wei family private soldiers and subordinates, if they turned back to find their master Wei Zhongxian, only to find that their master was already a cold corpse, and then think about being attacked and controlled by someone last night, then if they can still calm down, it will not be human nature.

Even, when they were fleeing away, many Wei family members also went to pick up the bodies of Wei Zhongxian and Li Chaoqin, and looted all the valuable items on their bodies, disrupting Yamamoto's execution ground, confusing the public, and buying them more time.

When the people and villagers of Fucheng discussed the suicide of Wei Zhongxian's father-in-law, Yamamoto had already slipped away at this time, and no one knew about it.

In late January of the first year of Chongzhen, in the anticipation of Li Tianyang, a Hongmen 400 warship quietly sneaked into the chicken coop harbor at midnight, and then someone took advantage of the night to transport supplies to the ship.

When Li Tianyang received the news that Yamamoto and they were back, he was teaching his daughter Qiong'er to call her father, and at this time, he didn't care about getting along with his wife and children's family, so he hugged Qiong'er and walked out.

In the Yamen of the Admiral's Mansion in Jilong Town, in Li Tianyang's official residence, dozens of large boxes were carried in by Hongmen soldiers, and the two account managers of Er Ya and Sixi and several other account offices were already waiting for Li Tianyang in the government office.

"You're back, did you have a smooth journey?" As soon as Li Tianyang entered the door and saw the huge pile of boxes lined up, his eyebrows and eyes smiled like a crescent moon, but when he saw Yamamoto and his deputy standing respectfully in front of the door, he didn't ask how the harvest was, but patted Yamamoto's shoulder with one free hand, and asked with concern: "How are the brothers, there is nothing to lose, right?" ”

"No, the journey went smoothly, except for a few soldiers who were injured by a fall on the night road, everyone else is intact, and our presence has not been exposed." Yamamoto lowered his head and answered Li Tianyang's inquiry.

"Well done, after turning back and collecting your results, I will personally work for you!" Li Tianyang's face was even more happy, and he said with relief.

After praising Yamamoto and them a few words, Li Tianyang turned around and said to Erya and Sixi: "Let's start counting, let's work hard to complete the inventory overnight, remember to keep it secret!" ”

"Yes!"

The boxes were opened one by one, and inside they were not full of jewelry, but also many well-preserved antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as real gold and silver that either exuded a snow-white luster or a golden color under the oil lamp.

It's really a big gain, what is in front of Li Tianyang, but Tang Tang Wei Zhongxian has been in charge of the government for more than three years at the age of 9,000 years, and a large part of the industry obtained from looting the wealth of the whole country!

Of course, when he was belittled in Fengyang County, this Wei father-in-law still had a large part of his fixed property that was not taken care of, and some of it was left for his nephews and nephews.

And in order to get up and down, Father-in-law Wei also spent a lot of money to go out to buy peace on the way, and asked others to report to him.

In addition, in order to confuse outsiders, Yamamoto also left a cart of luggage that didn't look so valuable in the Hakka Inn, which also made the materials transported back a lot less this time.

Even so, the thirty or so large boxes in front of Li Tianyang and them, filled with all kinds of valuable objects, still dazzled everyone's eyes.

Looking at Erya, Sixi and a few bookkeepers while carefully counting the items in a box, Li Tianyang took out a snow-white, all as big as a pigeon's egg, and a round Dongzhu necklace from a box full of jewels, touching Dongzhu's smooth and round pearl embryo, squinting his eyes very happily.

The little girl Qiong'er writhed uncomfortably in Li Tianyang's arms, bent down and stretched out her little hand, snatched the smooth Dongzhu necklace from Li Tianyang's hand, held it in her arms and giggled.

"Hmph, you are a little naughty, you started to love beauty at a young age!" Li Tianyang dotingly scratched the little girl Qiong'er's little nose, and gently continued with the little girl: "But this can't be given to you, these are all snatched by Uncle Yamamoto and their death, they belong to everyone, we can't take it privately!" ”

While talking to the little girl, Li Tianyang gently tried to snatch the Dongzhu necklace from the little girl's hand and put it back.

However, this little girl seems to really like this necklace, and she is reluctant to let go, Li Tianyang used a little brute force, and the little girl saw that she was about to miss, and her eyes suddenly became crystalline, and she was about to cry on the spot.

Yamamoto, Erya and others on the side wanted to speak several times, ready to persuade Li Tianyang to simply take away the necklace, but thinking about Li Tianyang's temper on weekdays, they all stopped talking one after another, and they all looked sideways at the contest between Li Tianyang and their father and daughter.

In the end, Li Tianyang was a step ahead, and took out a blood-red jewel that was smaller than an egg but larger than a pigeon egg from Ling Lang's dazzling jewelry box, and exchanged it for the string of Dongzhu necklace from the little girl Qiong'er's hand.

"I took this thing, remember to put it in my account, and it will be deducted from my salary in the future!" Li Tianyang thought he was relieved, this unsightly red stone couldn't be more expensive than the string of Dongzhu necklaces.

"Okay!" Er Ya and Sixi naturally have no opinion.

Even Yamamoto on the side looked at their lord with great admiration, they had never seen Xiang Li Tianyang who was clearly the lord of public and private, and they felt that their choice was not wrong.

Only a sharp-eyed bookkeeper at the bottom was ready to say a few words, and finally looked at Li Tianyang's doting and teasing daughter, and the others looked in agreement, and finally endured what he was about to say: "My Lord Admiral, it is a rough ruby in excellent condition, find a skilled craftsman to polish it, but it is much more expensive than your string of eastern pearls!" ”
