Republic of China 1927

() Cai Simei led Du Yan and others to Li Mantang's bedroom, first groped around the bed, but there was no response at all, and then searched carefully on the wall to the north, but still nothing reward.Seeing that Du Yan's face became more and more gloomy, Cai Simei became a little flustered. In fact, he only entered this secret room once, and he led him in when Li Mantang was having fun after drinking. I don't quite remember how to get in with excitement.

"Squeak" Finally, at the moment when Du Yan was about to lose patience, Cai Simei, who was sweating profusely, didn't know that she had touched the stone on the innermost wall. Suddenly, a hole with a diameter of half a diameter opened on the ground near the inner wall of the stone house A round hole of [-] meters leads obliquely to the bottom.

"You go down first!" Of course Du Yan would not directly let his brother take risks, the ready-made cannon fodder wouldn't be a waste.

Cai Simei didn't hesitate at all, at least in his memory, there was no mechanism other than the white ocean, the yellow gold bars, and the dazzling array of jewelry and jade.Laifu followed closely, Du Yan was the last one, and Du Fei stayed in the room to prevent anyone from breaking in suddenly.

I walked down the steps under the round hole for five or six meters, and suddenly changed the direction for another five or six meters before I came to the secret room. Contrary to what I imagined, the secret room was not completely dark. The sunlight refracted from somewhere also illuminates the cellar.It is estimated that there should be cliffs outside the wall, and the gap between the hills is not tight, so that the sunlight can shine in.

"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master, we, we have made a fortune!" Without allowing Du Yan to go in, Lai Fu in front shouted excitedly, obviously gaining a lot.

"Don't make a fuss, it's as if you have never seen the world." Du Yan scolded with a smile, no matter what, the Du family is also a powerful family with millions of dollars.But before he finished speaking, when he saw everything in front of him clearly, he was also deeply attracted, and a feeling of ecstasy welled up in his heart.

The cellar is quite spacious, even a tall man like Du Yan can walk in it without bending over, but this place is full of piles, and the piles on the ground are all good-quality silver dollars, a huge amount , it is impossible to complete the inventory in a short time (one letter is 100 silver dollars).

"Silver dollars alone are at least 10 yuan." Du Yan quickly estimated that he had been to the Du family's underground warehouse many times, and there were about [-] silver dollars stored in it, which were used for daily expenses and temporary turnover at home. It is much smaller than the ones in this cellar, and the piles of silver dollars just collected from various places on the top of the mountain are even smaller.

"Thirty large gold bars, and eighty small gold bars..." Du Yan found a large number of gold bars in a cabinet against the wall. The big gold bars are ten taels, and the small ones are five taels. Basically, according to the current gold-silver ratio of around 40, these hundreds of gold bars alone are worth [-] to [-] oceans.

"There are also a few gold ingots of 50 taels, and a large number of silver ingots!" Since the Republic of China, all kinds of silver dollars and copper coins have been circulated in the market. However, many big families still like to hoard these treasures to pass on to future generations or prepare for emergencies.

"There are dozens of jewels and jade articles." Li Mantang also knew that these items were valuable items, and they were all placed in a well-crafted gold-rimmed box.Antique calligraphy and paintings, which may be of higher value, do not have this kind of treatment. One piece after another is scattered in the room, not to mention bandits, even Young Master Du may not understand these things, and they may be worthless or worthless. .

……

"Nainai, this is really a horse without night grass without fat, and a man without windfall without wealth!" Looking at the property worth more than 20 oceans, Du Yan said with emotion.The Du family's wealth is not fake, but it is mostly fields, real estate, factories, and shops everywhere. The real current assets are at most only half of the current assets, but they can be used directly to achieve two or three achievements. It's not small, especially now that Zhang Zongchang is extorting violently in Shandong, and the Du family, as a local big family, is also bearing the brunt. In the past few years, there have been many people who have been blackmailed and searched.

"Li Mantang is really a fucking slut, what kind of bandit is he with so much money!" Du Yan scolded regretfully, "I'm getting cheap for nothing!"

"Young master, you are born rich and honored, and this dead ghost Li Mantang is helping you earn money!" Laifu flattered and said, "Our Du family has made a fortune since we came back."

"That bastard Li Mantang is an insatiable master. He is very stingy with his brothers. He deserves his death!" Cai Simei also bowed her head and scolded. The scolding was half flattering and half truthful. * is also considered as Li Mantang's confidant, but the real money is not much. After all, Li Mantang still believes that Li Jiazhuang is a dog leg.

"Hey!" Lai Fu, who was walking deep into the cellar, tripped over something, got up and shouted in surprise, "Guns, so many guns, and boxes of bullets!"

"There's a gun in here?" Du Yan hurried over with Cai Simei after hearing the news.

"And this big guy, I don't know what to do!" Laifu pointed to a heavy weapon that tripped him just now and said: "It's so heavy, it takes two or three to use it!"

"Type 92 heavy machine gun?" Du Yan reported a name in his first reaction, but he was immediately denied by himself. The Type 92 heavy machine gun may not even have blueprints now. It will take at least the 28th year of the Republic of China to finalize mass production. Ten years later.

"Taisho three-year heavy machine gun made in Japan." After looking at it for a while, Du Yan finally realized its name. After all, these are old antiques to him in later generations, and it can only be seen in military museums.

"There are actually two sticks? What does Li Mantang want to do? This thing is worth a lot of money." Du Yan turned his head and asked Cai Simei who was beside him, "When did you, Master Li, buy this thing and where did you buy it?"

"This is not bought by Li Mantang, it seems to be from Dongjiazhuang." Cai Simei hurriedly replied: "In addition to these two big things, there are also a batch of new guns, all of which were given to the reliable brothers. These two big things are not very good. Playing, I heard that it is extremely useless bullets, so it is useless."

"It's Dongjiazhuang again!" Du Yan said to himself, this little Dongjiazhuang actually has so many good things.In fact, if Du Yan knew the original appearance of Dongjiazhuang, he wouldn't be surprised by it.On the surface, Dongjiazhuang is well-known for being kind and generous, but in fact, over the years, Dongjiazhuang has been openly connected to the government and garrisons in Yishui, Mengyin and other places, collecting taxes for them, collecting food and grass; secretly colluding with various bandits in the Yimeng mountain area , providing them with information, providing arms, playing black and white business, the wealth accumulated over the years is very amazing, and this kind of local tyrants have not yet had the habit of depositing money in banks and money houses, and all the gold and silver they earn are hoarded.There were more such things in the pre-Qing Dynasty. It is said that there are a group of people in Beijing who buy the old houses of the former Eight Banners. After buying them, they dig three feet to find the gold and silver in the hoard.

But often walking along the river, Dong Jiazhuang has long been aware of the risks involved, so he can only strengthen his own force as much as possible, so he purchased a batch of firearms through the Qingdao branch of the Japanese Taiping Group, a total of two heavy machine guns and 120 pieces Thirty-eight rifles.It's a pity that these high-priced guns have not been equipped to Zhuang Ding, and Li Mantang took advantage of the internal strife.

"There are more than 100 70-type rifles in total." Du Yan counted roughly again, and there are more than [-] [-]-type rifles next to them, and there are plenty of bullets.

"Laifu, go up!" Du Yan saw that the time was about the same, and if he stayed any longer, Du Fei on the top would have to be anxious. Anyway, these things can't fly, and how to get them back without anyone noticing is a question worth considering.

"The big master, let the little one know everything, shouldn't it be..." Cai Simei looked at the gold and silver in the room, and said reluctantly: "The little one is not greedy, I just want to go out and buy hundreds of dollars. Acres of land, marry a daughter-in-law and live a good life."

"You have made a great contribution this time, so I will reward you well when you go up." Du Yan said with a smile on his face, he didn't expect this guy's iq to be so low, not to mention his infamous crimes , just to keep the secret of this batch of property, and will never keep him.As for the previous promises, if you can't find such a large amount of property, it doesn't matter if you let Fourth Sister Cai die. It is absolutely impossible now, otherwise once the news gets out, it will be very troublesome.

"Head, you are finally here." Du Fei let out a sigh of relief when he saw Du Yan and the others coming out of the round hole, "I'm so worried about the situation below."

"Don't ask so many questions, just treat him well first." Du Yan winked at Du Fei. Although Du Fei didn't know what was going on next, as long as it was Du Yan's order, he would carry it out to the letter.

After dealing with Cai Simei, Du Yan roughly explained the following situation to Du Fei, and finally emphasized: "No one outside this matter can tell, only the three of us know for the time being. I can't believe it."

"Yes!" Lai Fu and Du Fei said excitedly, which means that Young Master Du regards himself as an absolute confidant.

"Then what should we do with these things?" Laifu asked cautiously: "It's almost Chinese New Year, so we can't stay here for too long."

"It's natural, I will find a way to deal with it." Du Yan ordered: "You go out with me first, and the outside affairs should be over."

After the three people walked out of the stone house, all the damned bandits outside were also dealt with. The scene was extremely bloody, and the rest of the bandits were so frightened that their faces were ashen, and some were incontinent. Until Du Yan It was only after I came forward to comfort him that I was grateful for Dade's recovery.After this life-long experience, the hundreds of bandits who survived were honestly in a mess, and they no longer dared to disobey Du Yan's orders in the slightest.
