The dawn lifted the gray veil and replaced it with bright sunshine, and a new day began.

"Be careful to hide, everyone entering and leaving must listen carefully!" Hei Yi gave the Black Team members a task, and then they all went away in seclusion.

A group of men with messy hair and untidy clothes banged on the back door of Wanhua Tower.

"Who is it?" The eunuch, who had just finished a lively night and had time to lie down to catch up on his sleep, shouted angrily, who was so ignorant to disturb his sweet dreams. He suddenly opened the door and saw a group of beggars with dishevelled hair and smelly bodies. They looked at him with contempt and disdain, "Get out, this is not the place for you!" Then he was about to close the door. "Eunuch, don't close the door, I am Xiao Liuxian!" Seeing this, a thin man rushed forward desperately and said anxiously.

The eunuch covered his mouth and nose and glared at him, "...You, you, you were robbed? No, weren't you going out to eat and drink with the rich businessman? Oh, how did it get to this point? I have to ask them for compensation!"

Xiao Liuxian: "Eunuch, let someone go in and wash up first, and then I'll tell you in detail!"

"Hmph! Come in! This is all stinky. You have no brains. The silver in your hand is yours. Men are trustworthy..." The waiter didn't wait for anyone to explain. He cursed according to his own guess, pinched his nose and turned his waist and walked away.

The young waiters were frightened by this ordeal and dared not say a word. They did not care about anything else and took off their dirty clothes and crowded to the well to fetch water for a bath.

Every move of Wanhua Tower is under surveillance.

Xiao Liuxian dressed herself up again, looking at the feminine face reflected in the bronze mirror, thinking in her heart, and then put on rouge to make herself look more radiant. Then she went out with her hand basket, pretending to go shopping, walking and stopping to look at several shops along the way, and then turned into a small alley to see if no one was paying attention. The alley was full of ordinary families with their own doors and courtyards. Xiao Liuxian stood at the door of an inconspicuous courtyard, knocked on the door knocker, and the door opened in a moment, and he flashed in.

Hei Yi lay on the roof of the neighboring courtyard and gestured to people to surround the courtyard. Then he quietly climbed onto the roof of this courtyard.

Faintly hearing the sound of people arguing downstairs, Xiao Liuxian said: "Uncle Liu, give me the key to the warehouse for safekeeping."

"Without Master Liu's order, the key cannot be given to anyone!"

"Why don't you understand what I'm saying? He's been arrested, and he asked me to take care of it!"

"I still say that, without Master Liu's order, I can't give you the key to the warehouse!"

"I call you Uncle Liu for Old Liu's sake. Do you want to ruin the master's plan?"

"You? ...You are also the master's man?"

"Otherwise, what do you think... can Lao Liu do so many things alone?"

"Where's the token?"

There was silence for a while... Hei Yi made a fist gesture, and the members of the Black Team slowly surrounded him. The sounds of breaking doors and windows were heard from below.

Everyone in the house opened their eyes in shock, "You... you are so cruel, you actually brought people here..." Before they could finish their words, they were both caught after a few resistances. They were gagged, their hands and feet were tied, and they were forced to kneel on the ground. Hei Yi jumped off the roof and waved his hand to have every room searched thoroughly.

"Keep an eye on them! Search them!"

"Mmmm..." The two struggling people were searched and banknotes and keys were found on them.

Hei Yi took the banknotes and counted them. There were not many, only 560 taels. He took the keys and looked at them. He found that the six keys were taken from the old man and the one key was from Xiao Liuxian. Hei Yi was not in a hurry to interrogate them. He observed the expressions of the two men and the house. This was the layout of the rooms of ordinary people. From the outside, there was no difference at all. There were wells, water tanks, and baskets in the yard. There were also dried vegetables hanging under the eaves. This was arranged to disguise the traces of daily life. No wonder it could escape every inspection.

"Captain, the room I checked doesn't have it."

"Captain, the room I checked doesn't have it."

"Captain, I checked the room and it doesn't have it either."

"..."

Hei Yi frowned and said, "Check again! Check the front and back yards carefully!"

The Black Team once again conducted an orderly investigation...

"Captain, there is nothing unusual in the room."

Hei Yi: "Check if there is a dark room."

"Yes!"

...The team checked three times but found nothing. They were really cunning. Hei Yi glanced at the two people who were obviously relieved! He walked around the wall of the yard, looked at the baskets, walked over to open them and saw that they were empty. He moved them away to check the ground and found nothing unusual. He opened the big water tank and found that it was full of water. There was a big stone slab under the water tank...

"Black Three, Black Four, come here!" Black One shouted!

"Captain!" Black Three and Black Four ran over.

Hei Yi nodded and pointed to the ground under the water tank. "Dig!"

The two people being held froze in an instant and quickly lowered their heads!

Black Three and Black Four worked together to move the water tank, and then worked together to move the stone slab, and found that the soil underneath was loose. "Captain, the soil is loose!"

"Dig! Be alert inside and outside, don't let anyone escape," Hei Yi gave the order.

"Yes!" The Black Group took their positions.

Sure enough, they dug a wooden board a few inches into the mud. After removing the soil and lifting the wooden board, a hole that could only accommodate one person appeared. Hei San jumped down and found a half-person-high locked wooden door at the bottom of the cave wall. "Captain, there is a door! We need the key!"

Heiyi threw down the bunch of six keys. "Be careful!"

Everyone in the yard was alert, watching the movement nervously! Below the hole, Hei San carefully tried the key, one, two, three, four, and the fifth. Hei San carefully turned a circle and with a "click", the lock opened.

Hei San gently pushed the door open. It was dark inside and the space seemed quite large... He took a step back and said, "Captain, this is a secret room. Send a few more people down and bring down the fire starter!"

"Okay! Black Four, Black Six, Black Seven, you go down together, and the others stay on guard!" Hei Yi said in a deep voice.

Several people jumped down one after another. The dim secret room was as big as half of the yard, with walls made of earth and stone. Several people knocked on the wall and found it solid, so there should be no other secret rooms. Then they carried the boxes piled in the secret room to the yard one by one, a total of 18 boxes. "Is there anything else down there?" Hei Yi asked.

Hei San: "Captain, I checked and there's nothing left. Just these boxes."

Hei Yi: "Okay! Bring those two people over here!"

Black Nine and Black Ten escorted two men over. The two men hung their heads with pale faces.

Hei Yi: "Where is the warehouse?"

The old man and Xiao Liuxian both looked at him in surprise... "Don't ask me how I know, I naturally have a way!" Hei Yi snorted coldly.

Heijiu pulled the cloth out of the old man's mouth and shouted coldly, "Speak!"

The old man trembled and said, "No more, they are all here."

Hei Yi waved the key and said slowly, "There are six keys, one for the front door, one for the basement, and one for the backyard. There are only two locked doors. Where is the other one?"

The old man trembled even more. "That key is useless. I forgot to throw it away..."

Hei Yi shouted angrily, "Oh!... If you don't want to tell me, shut your mouth and tell me in jail!"

"Um..."

"Xiao Liuxian, you say." Hei Yi pointed at Xiao Liuxian.

"Sir! I am innocent, I know nothing, I have made it clear in the classroom, I am only here to see my benefactor, Sir, I am innocent!" As soon as she had the chance to speak, Xiao Liuxian cried out in a shrill voice.

"Oh!... You won't cry until you see the coffin, right? Come on, escort him back secretly," Hei Yi waited for his subordinates to disguise themselves and secretly carry the person away. He then called in other people, disguised the box as well, and transported it back to the secret base.

Hei Yi asked Hei San and Hei Shi to stay behind and said, "One of you disguises himself as the old man, and the other one stays hidden to guard this place. Cook when it's time to cook and sleep when it's time to sleep! Keep an eye out for anyone coming! At the same time, search carefully to see if there are any other secret rooms!"

"Yes, Captain!" Black Three and Black Ten took the order.

Although there were still doubts about the morning's action, it was fruitful, and Hei Yi hurried back to report the situation to Lord Nan.
