Mixed in Datang to be a son-in-law

The little girl raised her head bravely, "In the master's study, there are rumors that there is a secret passage. As for whether it is true, I don't know."

Zhou Jinyan frowned and said, "How do you know this news?"

"It was passed down by people in the house. No one knows whether it is true or not." Fearing that Zhou Jinyan would not believe it, she turned her head and said, "You can ask them."

Zhou Jinyan asked a few people, and sure enough there was such a rumor, but everyone didn't take it seriously before.

I didn't expect to be told by the little girl.

Leaving the two of them watching the servants, Zhou Jinyan led the rest to Li Cheng's study.

Li Cheng's study room is outside the master bedroom. Zhou Jinyan went to the master bedroom to take a look. Except for the furniture, there was nothing of value in it, which was obviously hidden.

Walking to the door of the study, Ah Qi said: "I searched around inside, but I didn't find any secret passage."

The decoration of the study room is very simple, a large bookcase, a desk, a chair, and a pen, ink, paper and inkstone are placed on it.

At a glance, it is indeed difficult to find any secret passages.

Zhou Jinyan pointed to the bookcase, "Remove the bookcase for me and see if there is anything in it."

Ah Qi was about to make a move, but was stopped by Zhou Jinyan, "Forget it, this house will be reserved as your residence in Bailu Town from now on, so it's better to keep it safe, and it's easy if you can."

Ah Qi is a rough person, and he doesn't like to read books. Hearing the words crackling, he almost broke down.

Zhou Jinyan watched and shook his head.

It's a pity that the bookcase was dismantled cleanly, and no secret passage was found.

Zhou Jinyan was getting impatient when suddenly a guard pointed to the desk and said, "There is a hole here."

Zhou Jinyan hurriedly turned his head to look. It turned out that the guard wanted to take the inkstone on the table, but he didn't. He became suspicious, so he turned left and right, and a hole appeared under the desk.

"The torches approach."

Zhou Jinyan beckoned, and the guard brought the torch over.

The hole is not big, and the inside is dark, it looks like it is only the size of two heads.

Ah Qi said: "This hole seems to be only half, there should be half."

With a thought, Zhou Jinyan got up and twisted the inkstone just now, and when he looked again, he saw a wooden ladder descending from the hole just now.

"Give me the torch."

Zhou Jinyan still prefers things like house raids.

I just don't know how much money the Li family has.

Presumably there are not as many as the Luo family, but not much less than the other two.

The four big families in Bailu Town have been entrenched for many years, and they have a lot of money.

Zhou Jinyan intends to confiscate everything except the Yi family.

To be precise, it was filled into his personal pocket.

He can cooperate with the Yi family in the mine, and the one who ransacked the house is fine.

You have to prepare money in advance for future aircraft and cannons.

The hole is still not very big, Zhou Jinyan was about to go down, Ah Qi said: "Lang Jun, let me go down first?"

"It's okay, if Li Cheng can think of everything in such a comprehensive way, I'll admit it."

Teng Teng Teng, Zhou Jinyan held the torch and walked down the wooden ladder step by step.

The wooden ladder is very clean, and it is obvious that people often walk it. It is not the kind of dilapidated thing full of old ideas.

The lighting range of the torch was limited. After Zhou Jinyan went down, he didn't find anything around him. He raised his head and said, "Come down."

At this moment, a sudden chill hit from behind.

Chapter 598 Ambush

Zhou Jinyan hurriedly hid aside.In a hurry, the torch was also thrown aside.

"Lang Jun?"

Ah Qi heard that something was wrong below, and jumped down hastily.

"I kill you!"

Li Laosan appeared out of nowhere, holding a big knife and slashing at Zhou Jinyan.

Zhou Jinyan dodged again in embarrassment, and stood still several times, but it was too late to exert strength. Fortunately, Ah Qi and the others jumped down quickly.

Li Laosan didn't know martial arts, so he was subdued by Ah Qi in a few strokes.

"let me go!"

Li Laosan struggled desperately, Zhou Jinyan picked up the torch again, looked at his face, and couldn't help laughing: "Li Laosan, you are so brave that you didn't leave."

"If I leave, how can I kill you?"

Li Laosan gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be complacent, the army of Xihai City will arrive soon, and then you will definitely not be able to survive or die!"

Zhou Jinyan didn't pick up the quarrel, but asked, "I didn't hear from my subordinates that your parents had run away. Why, aren't you also hiding here?"

A flash of panic flashed in Li Laosan's eyes, Zhou Jinyan smiled slightly, and winked at his subordinates.

Although the underground secret passage is not small, it is obviously not too big. Soon Li Cheng and the Wu family, all the important people in the Li family, big and small, were all arrested.

Zhou Jinyan looked at the ashen-faced Li Cheng and the ashen-faced Wu Shi, and said with a smile: "You two, it's really easy to hide. Long time no see."

Li Cheng still wanted to struggle, "You, why did you break into Li's residence privately?"

Zhou Jinyan sighed: "I remember telling you at the time, if you dare to tell the guard of Xihai City about the situation here, don't blame me for being rude, but unfortunately you don't listen at all, then I have no choice but to do so."

Hearing his strange mood, Wu couldn't help but said: "The officers and soldiers are coming soon, don't be complacent, you won't be able to leave when the time comes."

Zhou Jinyan walked up to her with a cold face, and suddenly raised his arm to slap her.

"Snapped!"

The crisp applause was especially loud in the secret passage.

"Thief, what is your skill in beating women?" Seeing his mother being beaten, Li Laosan couldn't help struggling, but how could he get out of it.

Zhou Jinyan shook his palm, and said lightly: "I told you a long time ago, women are less talkative. You should be glad that you are ugly, otherwise...huh..."

Wu Shi originally wanted to talk and scold people, but when she heard this, all the words were thrown into her throat, and she didn't dare to say anything anymore.

"Take them all."

Zhou Jinyan ordered people to bring Li Laosan and others up, and Li Cheng stayed behind.

Li Cheng sighed, "What do you want?"

"Hand over all your family's property honestly."

Zhou Jinyan turned around to signal for more torches, and sat on a chair by himself, "I want to be specific. This way your family can still have a chance to survive."

"Most of the family property is here," Li Cheng said with a downcast expression, "I wanted to wait for the army from Xihai City to come, but I didn't expect you to find it here."

Zhou Jinyan sneered, "Do you have the ledger?"

"Have!"

Li Cheng seemed to have lost his mind, and took Ah Qi to get the ledger, and soon the treasures of the Li family were presented to Zhou Jinyan one by one.

There were more treasures and gold and silver in the Li family than Zhou Jinyan expected.

If it is converted into copper plates, there are nearly ten million guan.

Zhou Jinyan asked in surprise, "Little Li's family in Bailu Town has so much money?"

Li Cheng sighed: "Bailu Town is serving our four major families. It is not surprising to have this money. No one cares about it. The rich will only get richer."

Zhou Jinyan was happy in his heart, and continued: "Then let me ask you, how much money can the Luo family have?"

"I don't know the wealth of their family, but the sum of our other three families is more, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Zhou Jinyan took a deep breath, and said that he worked hard in business, and he didn't know how much money he made in a year. This business of copying houses is really a huge profit...

Robbery is better than robbery!

"Ah Qi, Ah Qi!"

"Lang Jun, are you calling me?"

Ah Qi took the ledger and turned back excitedly.

"Yes, how is it?"

"It's not finished yet, there are too many here. There are too many." Ah Qi looked excited, "This is not counted, there is another layer below, which is filled with gold, silver and jewelry."

Damn, he actually has more money than himself.

Simply unbearable!

Thinking of my dream of becoming the world's richest man, it is really a dream now!

With my little money, the world's richest man?

When they first took over Yazhou, they ransacked their homes, but compared with the Li family in front of them, there is no way to compare the money of those families.

"Take it out!"

Zhou Jinyan waved to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng was anxious, "Are you going to kill us?"

"This amount of money is enough to buy your lives, but you have to be honest, if you don't behave well, I will send you to the Hades!"

After Li Cheng was taken up, Ah Qi said: "Your Majesty, everyone in the Li family should be wiped out and no one should be kept."

"never mind."

Zhou Jinyan shook his head. He also knew that Zhou Jinyan was too kind, but there was really no need for the Li family to be wiped out.

"Seal this place, and come back to get it after defeating the defender of Xihai City."

Zhou Jinyan gave a few simple instructions and hurried back.

Returning to Yi's house, and inquiring about the news, Zhe's family was still fine, and was not fooled.

Although Zhou Jinyan was a little worried, that was all he could do now.

At dawn the next day, Zhou Jinyan got up early and rushed to Yangsha Road with six or seven guards.

Yangsha Road is located in the northwest of Bailu Town. The terrain is flat, but there is a canal on the left side. Therefore, when entering Bailu Town from Xihai City, most of them enter from Yangsha Road.

If there is no accident, the people from Xihai City will arrive this morning.

When Zhou Jinyan arrived, the ditch had already been dug.

"Lang Jun, are you here?"

Ah Da and the others saw Zhou Jinyan and hurriedly greeted him.

Zhou Jinyan handed the horse to Ah Qi, and asked him to lead someone to pull the horse farther away and tie it up.

Only then did he jump off the ditch.

"Dig this shallow, okay?"

The ditch was only dug to the thigh. Zhou Jinyan suspected that it would be exposed.

"If you lie down inside, there must be no problem."

Ah Da laughed and said: "It has to be covered with thatch, otherwise the enemy standing on the horse will probably find that this is really not a good place to hide."

"It's about to be."

Zhou Jinyan hid it, and found that it was not bad at all, so he put his thoughts into his stomach.

"Where's Baloo?"

Lying in the ditch, Zhou Jinyan rubbed his head. He didn't sleep well last night, and he is still a little sleepy now.

"I took people to transport the soil to a distant place, and it should come back."
