Listening to the words of this little boy's mouth, "immortality" and "endless life", Xie Yixiang didn't take it seriously, like this kind of "teaching" methods for children, she has already seen a lot in the court. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is said that his father Xie Fengxuan broke the remnants of the alien army of the previous dynasty in Mobei, and then smashed the Yellow Dragon, broke the palace of the last emperor of the previous dynasty, and captured thousands of foreign royal nobles. After these royal nobles were escorted back to Beijing, the emperor ordered that all boys and girls under the age of 10 be separated and sent to "teach" and reform them. As a result, in just half a year, all these children of different races have joined our court, knelt down in the court to worship the current emperor, shouted long live, and insulted and even whipped their parents who were captured together. Even the last nominal emperor of the previous dynasty was whipped to death in front of the Chengtian Gate, one of the "Thirteen Gates of Jinling", in front of the people of Jinling by these "taught" children. For a while, it can be said to shock the whole world, which made those remnants of the foreign race of the previous dynasty frightened.

Therefore, the cold-talking little boy in front of him, full of nonsense, was naturally taught by the adults in the family from an early age, thus engraved an irreversible paradox in his mind. Fortunately, what Xie Yixiang wanted to know was basically known from the little boy's mouth at this moment, and the next thing was to go with him to see the robbed military salary.

Unexpectedly, this mysterious family dared to be so honest with themselves, not only did they admit to themselves that they robbed the imperial court's military salary, but also took themselves to witness the stolen silver. Xie Yixiang was pleasantly surprised, but didn't ask any more, just followed the little boy silently.

At the moment, the two of them walked one after the other, heading towards the upper right corner of the valley, Xie Yixiang had seen with his own eyes on the convex rock on the mountain wall before, and there was clearly a huge house near the area, but now when he looked at it in the night, he didn't know if it was because it was dark or he remembered the wrong place, but he didn't see the big house. The little boy in front of him kept walking forward, and took Xie Yixiang straight to the mountain wall in the upper right corner of the valley, and took a closer look, there was clearly a one-person high stone cave under the mountain wall in front of him, revealing some light from the inside;

But Xie Yixiang remembered clearly the stone cave when she came, and it was clearly in the direction of the lower left corner of this valley, on the side of the green water where the "Chaos Beast" was hidden, how could it appear here? At the moment, she didn't ask much, seeing the little boy go straight into the cave, she also followed closely, just walked a few steps, and immediately understood that this was not the stone cave when she came, because there was no fishy smell of snakes in this stone cave, and the terrain was very different.

The little boy in front of him had no lamp in his hand, but he was able to move freely in this dimly lit stone cave, and he was very familiar with this place. However, after walking more than a dozen steps, the lights in front of the stone cave have become brighter and brighter, and with the terrain gradually sloping downward, the whole stone cave is getting bigger and bigger, and finally it is a huge space, almost half the size of the valley outside;

Unexpectedly, in this so-called "underworld" valley, there is actually such a place, Xie Yixiang was shocked, and couldn't help but secretly estimate that if the current space is used as a residence, I am afraid that it can easily accommodate the people of this entire mysterious family, even if it is an army of tens of thousands of people, it is more than enough. Then look carefully, but see that on the four walls of this stone cave, every other mile, there is a bright oil lamp, and I don't know what kind of lamp oil is burning in it, and it burns extremely vigorously, illuminating this huge space in front of me.

I saw that this huge stone cave space is not all flat, but it is densely covered with many natural pools of different sizes, and it is impossible to see its depth, and there are hundreds of them in a rough count. The small one is only the size of the mouth of the bucket, and even Xie Yixiang's thin body can't accommodate it, and it is a bit inappropriate to say that it is a "pool", and it is clear that even the size of the well is not as large; and the large one is actually as big as the square outside the imperial city, even if it is Jiang Wangcai's "Flying Tiger Divine Ship" on Dongting Lake, it can be regarded as a lake.

As everyone knows, it is really as Xie Yixiang thought, at this moment, in a pond the size of a pond, there are indeed several large ships transporting goods, but they are not moored on the water, but they are dumped on the shore; it looks like it has experienced a storm and damaged the hull of the ship, and the accident has been going on for a while, even the ship's planks have been soaked to smithereens, and it can almost be regarded as the wreckage of the ship.

In this pond-sized pool, these ships transporting goods can be berthed, which shows the depth of these "pools" in the stone cave, which should not be underestimated. For a while, Xie Yixiang didn't know how to describe the scene in front of her, and after thinking about it, it was the words "unreasonable".

It is strange to know that in this valley of the "underworld", there is a huge stone cave of this scale, and it is even more strange that there are hundreds of large and small pools in this stone cave, and it is even more strange that there are cargo ships moored in the pool. Because looking at the size of these cargo ships, it is impossible to transport them from the entrance of the stone cave that I just passed, because the entrance of the cave is only more than one person, how can I pass through a cargo ship of this size?

The only explanation seems to be that the boats in front of them were originally built in this cave, but if this is the case, how can they be broken into such a state at this moment, could it be that there will be a storm in this cave? And how should the ships built in this cave be transported out of this cave, and how should they be transported out of the entire valley outside? All of this can of course only be described by the word "unreasonable."

Just when Xie Yixiang was puzzled, the little boy in front of him finally stopped, turned around and asked, "Do you understand?" Xie Yixiang slowly shook his head and asked rhetorically, "What do you understand?"

I saw a slight sneer on the little boy's face, and said lightly: "In this way, you said that you wanted to track down the robbed military salary, but you have never seen this military salary at all?"

Hearing this, Xie Yixiang was stunned on the spot. It is necessary to know that the imperial court transports military salaries, which is an errand between the military department and the household department, even if it involves the Jianghu Dart Bureau this time, what does it have to do with the head catcher of his own criminal arrest room? It's just that later, the military salary was stolen at the border of Huguang and Guangzhou, and the case was filed and handed over to the criminal arrest room; and before that, where had Xie Yixiang seen this batch of military salaries?

I remembered that the little boy had clearly said that he wanted to take himself to see the robbed military salary, so as to solve the mystery he had been pursuing. But what does the robbed military salary have to do with the large and small pools in the stone cave in front of me and the few broken boats?

Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang's heart suddenly shook, and a bold thought immediately surged into her heart. She immediately grabbed a few steps, walked quickly to the tattered cargo ships, and carefully examined the hull. But seeing that although these cargo ships were not dilapidated, they were clearly newly destroyed, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Are these cargo ships ...... Could it be the ship that delivered the salaries that day?"

You must know that the military salary of 20 million taels of silver in the previous imperial court was handed over to the 17 largest dart bureaus in the Central Plains to form the largest dart team in history, starting from the Beiping waterway, transferring from the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to Jinling, and then going up the Yangtze River and advancing westward into Huguang. Unexpectedly, as soon as the fleet arrived at the border of Jiangzhou and arrived at the border of Huzhou, it disappeared out of thin air overnight.

Because of this, the government and the opposition unanimously believed that it was Jiang Wangcai of Dongting Lake who took the military salary, and then sent the people of the torture room led by Zhuang Haoming to cooperate with Zheng Qianjin, Jiang Wangcai's subordinate, wanting to arrest Jiang Wangcai at the lowest price and escort him back to Beijing.

It wasn't until he went to Longyue Island in Dongting Lake that Xie Yixiang learned that the military salary was not robbed by Jiang Wangcai, but according to Jiang Wangcai's arrangement on the Huguang border, which was also west of Jiangzhou, the three bright thunders and seventy-two hidden piles that he had seen with his own eyes, the fleet that escorted the military salary for the imperial court did not continue to continue west along the Yangtze River to Huguang on the night of the march to Jiangzhou, but turned the bow of the ship to the south and drove straight to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi. And looking at the entire Poyang Lake, the only one who has the ability to rob this military salary can only be this mysterious family.

Therefore, Xie Yixiang is almost certain that most of the broken ships in front of him are the ships that transported military salaries that day. But how did these ships end up in the pool of the cave and be destroyed like this, and how did they get in through the mouth of the cave where more than a man was in the cave?

Xie Yixiang immediately turned around and stared at the little boy, how could she remember that this was just a five or six-year-old child? ”
