Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 255 I finally found it

Chapter 256 I finally found it

Hearing what Cao Chong said, Guo He also felt something was wrong.

As Cao Chong said, a lot of ornaments and utensils made of gold and silver jewelry were found, but there were only two boxes of silver ingots in the box, plus some scattered around, the total was less than 3000 taels, and the gold ingots were even more. At least, they were scattered all over the place, with a total of just over 100 taels of gold.

After Guo He understood it, he became furious and ordered the soldiers: "Search, continue to search! There will also be strict interrogation of the bandits, and I have to find them even after digging three feet!"

Since bandits have so many finished objects made of gold, silver and jewelry, there should be more gold and silver ingots!
Guo He was stunned by the huge buildings in the valley and all kinds of jeweled ornaments and utensils. He only realized it after Cao Chong reminded him, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Could bandits make gold and silver into utensils? I think these bandits will enjoy it." Xia Houba asked in a low voice.

Cao Chong and Guo He ignored him, you think the bandit is as stupid as you.

In troubled times, real gold and silver are the hard currency. Although all kinds of utensils and accessories are valuable, their prices are not fixed, and it is difficult to carry, store, and even more inconvenient to sell. Bandits will definitely not do this.

As for turning gold and silver into utensils and accessories for enjoyment, if Liu Ji was so stupid, he would have been wiped out by other bandits long ago. How can he be the bandit leader for 20 years?
So the bandits must still have a large amount of gold and silver hidden somewhere.

Guo He asked people to dig the ground three feet but failed to find the gold and silver hidden by the bandits. The soldiers climbed to the peak north of Houshan and searched carefully several times but found no results. Cao Chong and Guo He were very depressed.

The news from Lu Xun was not good either. Liu Ji and a group of bandits under him were extremely fierce. They fought fiercely with officers and soldiers on the bank of the Yellow River, and Liu Ji died in battle.

Most of his bandit leaders, big and small, were also killed in battle. In the end, no more than 200 people surrendered, and more than half died in battle!
The bandits who surrendered knew nothing about Jinyin, Liu Ji's wife and son.

After hearing the news, Guo He and Cao Chong sighed for a while, but at the same time they didn't understand.

"Guo Lingyin, you have a lot of knowledge, have you ever heard of such a decisive bandit? This is too abnormal!"

"Unheard of!" Guo He frowned.

"In the mountain stream at the back of the mountain, those thieves charged desperately. I thought they were dead soldiers trained by the thieves for many years to protect their families. But why are these thieves?"

"Accordingly, bandits and bandits are easily persuaded to surrender once they are in a desperate situation. Except for those leaders, they didn't say they would kill other bandits?" Cao Chong asked incomprehensibly.

"Wait a minute, the young master said dead men. These people really behave like dead men. Maybe they really are dead men. There can't be such decisive bandits in this world." Guo He said with a flash of inspiration.

Cao Chong was dumbfounded: Who the hell can support so many dead soldiers?

This is not a weak force when the warlords get up early in chaos, okay? How many people did Lao Cao recruit when he raised his troops?
Seeing Cao Chong stunned, Guo He himself felt that it was impossible. Liu Ji defected from the imperial court and became a bandit more than 20 years ago. He was able to raise such a large group of dead soldiers and participated in the world. small strength.

"Forget it, it's already been wiped out anyway, it doesn't matter if it's a dead man raised by someone! There's nothing found here, and I'm going back to Luoyang tomorrow."

It took a long time to come out to suppress the bandits this time, about ten days before and after.

There are still a lot of troubles in Luoyang. Ordinarily, Cao Chong should not have left Luoyang at this time, so Cao Chong decided to go back early.

Guo He also nodded depressedly, Henan Yin can't spend all his time here for such a trivial matter, the bandit's gold and silver can't be found if he can't find it.

"Guo Lingyin, you can dispose of these gold, silver and jewels as you like, but how about returning the food and cloth to Luoyang? Ling Yin also knows that someone is deliberately making trouble for me. Luoyang is in urgent need of food and various daily necessities."

The food found in the den of thieves this time is quite a lot, as large as tens of thousands of stones!
This is another point that Cao Chong doesn't understand. Why does a den of thieves with less than a thousand people store so much food?Where did it come from?How did it get into the mountains?
Although Liu Ji was awarded the title, he left a lot of mysteries for Cao Chong.

Just as Cao Chong was about to have a good night's rest and rush back to Luoyang the next day, Xia Houba suddenly barged in.

"Haha! The young master is really good at predicting things!"

"What discovery? Let you succeed!" Cao Chong glanced at Xia Houba.

"It's all found! It's all found! The gold and the women are all found!"

"You mean Liu Ji's wife and the gold and silver that he hid were found?" Cao Chong was also overjoyed.

"Yeah! We were lucky this time, we almost missed it!"

"Where is it? Go, go and see!"

"It's on the peak north of the back mountain. It's exactly as the young master expected. But let's go and see it tomorrow. It's dark now, and it's very difficult to go there!" Xia Houba persuaded.

"Go, don't talk too much!"

Cao Chong walked out of the room and saw Guo He also coming out of the room. It seems that he just got the news, so he couldn't help but go to have a look.

When everyone came to the back mountain, the soldiers had already lit countless torches, taking this picture as if it were daytime!
"The last time we climbed the quilt-faced mountain, there was a cave there. The entrance of the cave was so small that adults could only climb in. Moreover, it was in a pile of bushes, and it would be impossible to find it if we walked in... If it wasn't for a soldier If you accidentally fall down, you won't find out..." Xia Houba kept explaining to Cao Chong how he found Liu Ji's wife and Jinyin along the way.

Cao Chong's face turned black when he came to the entrance of the cave that Xiahouba said after all the hardships!
Isn't this the cliff that I failed to climb last time? The entrance of the cave is on the far left under the cliff. Last time, I and Xiahouba wandered for a long time on the right side of the cliff less than five meters from the entrance of this cave!

This cliff is one of several dangerous places to climb to the northern peak. The biggest feature is that the vegetation is more lush than other places. The place to climb up is on the right side of the cliff, and the upper left side protrudes outwards, which is not conducive to climbing.

Cao Chong tried several times on the right side of the cliff, and retreated after failing. He didn't pay much attention to the bushes on the left!

When Cao Chong saw the situation here, he couldn't help admiring, this Liu Ji is really talented, and he is so proficient in psychology!

The location of this cliff is just one-third of the peak of the northern mountain, and it is also the last difficult place to climb to the peak. As long as you can go up from here, you will be victorious when you reach the peak. I thought Liu Ji would dig a cave here to hide things!

If you want to hide things, this cliff is a very inappropriate place. There are many hidden places on the south peak below, the north peak above, as well as in the valley and the mountain stream behind.

Liu Ji just dug a cave next to the necessary path to climb the North Peak. It's not in line with normal people. Don't say it, here are all rocks, and it's not easy to climb here. How did he dig the cave? ?
