Chapter 96 Throwing a Stone to Test the Water

Er Gouzi found the granary of the Dianshi family, and ordinary doors and locks could not stop him.

He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he broke the door lock, opened the door gently and slipped in.

This warehouse was filled with rice.

Er Gouzi jumped into the grain pile, and the grain disappeared quickly, and finally he was the only one left standing at the bottom of the granary.

He put all the rice in the whole granary into the gourd.

After leaving this granary, he quietly closed the door.

He followed the law and put all the grain in the other granaries into the gourd, which was roughly estimated to be at least 10,000 stones.

Some grains even had a stale smell because they had been stored for too long.

Since the Dianshi was too small to eat so much, it was just right for the people of Shekou Mountain to help share the worries and relieve the labor.

After stealing the granary, the door of the next warehouse was opened, and there was a warehouse of dry goods inside.

Smoked bacon, air-dried bacon chicken, bacon rabbit, salted fish, etc.

The Dianshi would definitely not be able to finish eating so much meat, so of course he took it all away.

In the next warehouse, there were some money that the Dianshi did not need. Now the city was short of resources, and money could not buy anything.

The copper coins in this warehouse were useless, and they took up space here, so Er Gouzi helped the Dianshi take them away.

In the past, his master often taught him that money was just a useless thing outside of the body, but he could never understand it.

The Dianshi had been an official for so many years, so he should understand the truth best.

Er Gouzi stole everything he saw along the way and put it all in the gourd.

He did not feel any guilt in his heart, but instead felt a sense of happiness for doing good deeds and helping others.

All the warehouses were stolen, but no more important medicinal materials were found.

It stands to reason that the Dianshi was in a high position and as one of the three giants in Anchang County, he should not be short of these supplies at home.

Even if there were no elixirs, there would be a few spiritual medicines in his collection, and even if there were no spiritual medicines, there would be Peiyuan Guben Pills.

None of these things have been found so far.

Er Gouzi wandered around the courtyard of the Dianshi family slowly, even looking at the toilet in the courtyard, but he still couldn't find the place where the treasure was hidden.

Where did the old guy hide the treasure?

At this time, the Dianshi was in the room, playing games with his dozen concubines.

Er Gouzi sat on the steps outside the room thinking.

Now there is only one room left to find. The old guy is endless in there, and Er Gouzi has been waiting for a long time.

"Master, it's my turn..."

Er Gouzi was bored sitting outside, thinking about it.

I remember that he had read a book before, and there was a trick called throwing a stone to ask for directions.

If you really can't find it, maybe you can give it a try.

Thinking of this, he picked up a stone from the ground, aimed it at the window of the room where the Dianshi was, and threw it.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

"Ah..."

"Who..."

The people in the room were startled, their interest was interrupted, and they were surprised and angry.

"Catch the thief!"

"Catch the thief..."

After shouting a few times, Er Gouzi hid in a corner and watched the situation.

Soon, the whole Dianshi Mansion was in chaos, with countless servants running around, shouting loudly, and looking very hard.

As servants, whether they saw the shadow of the thief or not, they had to show that they were working hard in order to be appreciated by the master.

So at the first time, the thief was not seen at all, and the whole Dianshi Mansion was already in chaos.

At this time, the Dianshi Lord also walked out of the room, his robe hanging crookedly on his body, and he had not had time to button or tie his belt.

"What are you panicking about!"

"What are you making a fuss about!"

"Guard the exit and search the whole courtyard for me."

"Today, we will close the door and beat the dog."

While the Dianshi Lord gave loud orders, he let the two concubines help him button up and tie his belt slowly.

Er Gouzi squatted in the corner, secretly speculating in his heart, he was going to close the door and beat the dog, had he guessed him?

Soon, several servants came running over in a panic.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Gone!"

"All gone..."

"What's the matter? Why are you so panicked?"

The Dianshi looked calm and shouted loudly.

"Master... Gone..."

The servant was so anxious that he stuttered.

"Pa!"

The Dianshi was furious and slapped him hard, and his teeth flew out.

After being beaten, the servant was not anxious anymore. He covered his swollen half of his face for a while, and then said:

"All the food in the granary is gone. It was stolen."

"All?"

Hearing this, the Dianshi was a little surprised and doubtful.

"Yes, all of them."

"In addition to the grain, all the other warehouses adjacent to it were also stolen."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The Dianshi kicked the servant to the ground and walked quickly to the back of the house.

When he came to the warehouse, he saw that the doors of the warehouses were open, and they were all empty. Not a grain of grain or a copper coin was left for him.

Here was the wealth he had accumulated over decades of service as an official, and it was all emptied overnight.

The Dianshi was anxious and angry, so angry that his fingers trembled and his legs and feet shook.

He searched around the warehouse but couldn't find any clues.

To be able to empty all the warehouses silently overnight and make such a big move, he must be a cultivator.

Moreover, he must be a cultivator with a storage magic weapon.

Looking at the entire Anchang County, only the county magistrate has a storage bag left by his ancestors.

"Great, it's my fault!"

Last time, he participated in the extermination of the Sima family. Although he gained a lot, the Dianshi has always felt a sense of crisis.

In the past, the three powers were in a tripod and restrained each other.

Since the county lieutenant was ambushed and killed by the rebels, this balance has been broken.

The county magistrate can take action against the Sima family today, and he can take action against the Dianshi tomorrow.

Thinking of this, the Dianshi felt a surge of hatred in his heart.

It's okay to steal from the warehouse. As long as we get through this difficult time, we can plunder more in the future.

He is in a high position. If he doesn't take the initiative to plunder money, there are also a lot of people who take the initiative to send it to his home.

What he is most worried about is that the secret room must not be found by the thieves.

At this time, the Dianshi Lord walked around to the front yard from a small path.

There are rockeries and water here, and pavilions and towers have been built. It is a place for people to relax and play.

He walked behind a rockery and was slightly relieved to see that the surrounding area was not damaged.

But he was still not at ease.

After checking that there was no one around, he moved a large stone weighing hundreds of pounds, revealing a cave underneath.

Since the last raid on the Sima family, he has quietly dug out this secret room under the rockery.

Even the closest people around him don’t know the existence of this secret room.

As long as the things inside are not lost, the loss is not great.

Seeing that the Dianshi Lord went in through the tunnel, Er Gouzi also quietly followed from behind.

After entering the tunnel, about one or two feet deep, there was a door made of blunt copper, which was extremely strong.

The door was not locked, but it was arranged with a mechanism. If he hadn’t followed the Dianshi here, he couldn’t even open the door.

The Dianshi stamped his feet three times on a floor tile on the right, and the bronze door slowly opened.

Seeing the Dianshi walk in so cautiously, Er Gouzi hurriedly followed him, and even the place where he stepped each time was consistent with the Dianshi.

Behind the bronze door, there was a small secret room.

There were several night pearls inlaid on the top of the secret room, and there were many jade boxes, jade bottles, wooden boxes, and wooden boxes on display inside...

Er Gouzi used his spiritual sense to scan it and found that they were all good things...

This, this...

Er Gouzi's heartbeat accelerated several points. This is a wealthy family. Compared with this, the secret room of the cult is simply a doghouse.

In the several jade boxes around him, there were the earth dragon roots that Er Gouzi had been thinking about, at least a dozen.

In a bottle in front, there were several Peiyuan pills.

In a jade box in front, there were two detoxification pills.

There was also a wooden box with a book of exercises that looked very old.

There were so many good things in it that Er Gouzi was dazzled.

Relatively speaking, the piles of Pei Yuan Gu Ben pills and gold and silver in the secret room seemed insignificant.

At this moment, he wanted to kill the Dianshi.

As long as he killed this old man, everything in the secret room would be his.

Thinking of this, he had already grasped a dagger and quietly approached behind the Dianshi.

After the last sneak attack on the helmsman, he went home to sum up his experience and still had to have a short weapon in his hand so that he could kill with one blow.

So he asked Huang Fugui to make this black dagger.

Er Gouzi took the dagger and glanced at the Dianshi's neck, looking for the best place to cut.

"Come out!"

At this moment, the Dianshi suddenly spoke.

Er Gouzi was stunned. Was he talking to himself, or did he really find his trace, or was he paranoid and wanted to trick him?

It was impossible to be sure, but it was obviously not suitable to act rashly at this moment.

Although the Dianshi was injured and his strength was not as good as before, he still had the strength to fight.

"Why don't you come out?"

"Do you need me to ask you?"

The Dianshi continued to talk to himself, his eyes sweeping through the secret room.

Er Gouzi still did not move.

"I have found you!"

The Dianshi said, retreating to a corner of the secret room and stamping his feet on the ground.

Suddenly, countless sharp arrows shot out from the holes on all sides of the secret room.

These arrows shot out from all directions, covering every corner of the secret room except the corner where the Dianshi stood.

Facing countless arrows shot from all directions, there was no way to avoid them.

At this moment, Er Gouzi could only use a dagger to perform a set of swordsmanship that could not be blown in by the wind or splashed by water.

It was the master who forced him to practice it back then, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.

This set of swordsmanship can even block the rain from the sky, let alone these arrows.

Er Gouzi successfully blocked the arrows from all directions without even using his true energy.

But his position was completely exposed.

He glanced at the direction of the bronze door, and then glanced at the many treasures in the secret room with nostalgia.

While waving his dagger, he slowly retreated towards the door.

Based on the principle of sacrificing his life but not his wealth, he reached out and grabbed a handful of things from the shelf before leaving.

He used his spiritual sense to take away several jade bottles and boxes.

"Thief!"

The Dianshi, who was hiding in the corner, was so angry when he saw this scene that his beard trembled.

Too arrogant, he stole several jade boxes in front of him.

But now there were arrows flying in the secret room, and he could only hide in this corner, and he had to wait until all the arrows were shot before it could stop automatically.

Er Gouzi stole a lot of jade boxes, and then he reluctantly retreated to the door.

When he retreated to the door, the floor tiles under his feet made a click, and he accidentally triggered a mechanism.

Immediately, more than ten thick arrows shot at the door.

This time, he had no way to avoid the door, and these arrows were divided into three routes, upper, middle and lower, covering his whole body.

Er Gouzi waved the dagger in his hand to block, but unexpectedly, with a click, the dagger in his hand also broke into two pieces.

Then he felt a pain in his leg, and was shot in the calf by an arrow.

Fortunately, he had escaped from the door at this time and quickly got out of the tunnel.

After coming out of the cave, he also moved the large stone weighing hundreds of pounds back and pressed it on the entrance of the cave.

This felt not enough, he looked at a rockery next to him, which must weigh at least thousands of pounds.

He walked to the side and pushed the rockery down with force, pressing it above the entrance of the cave.

Such a loud noise naturally alarmed the servants in the mansion. Many people ran to check and found that it was the rockery that fell down, and there was a little blood next to it.

But no other figures were found.

At the same time, Er Gouzi had already climbed over the wall and fled to a street outside.
