The number one rebel of the Great Wu
Chapter 88 Treasure Hunt at the Imperial Estate
It is located halfway up the mountain in the suburbs.
Chen Changgeng led his men around in circles several times, seemingly trying to confirm and locate the correct positions.
Suddenly, they arrived under a large tree and beckoned to the group.
"This is it! Get started, dig!"
At a command, hoes and shovels were used in unison, and in no time a deep pit was dug under the tree.
"Brother, there's nothing there!"
Geng Liang yelled "Mud!" in frustration.
Geng Liang came from a petty criminal background, so his acting skills are naturally beyond question.
"That's not right. The information I received is about this place."
Chen Changgeng turned his head and looked around again.
The remaining two spies were getting impatient.
They had been following Chen Changgeng and his group for almost half an hour, and still couldn't figure out what they were up to.
We are currently located in the mountains on the outskirts of the city, in this desolate wilderness.
I couldn't help but come out and ask.
Chen Changgeng had actually been secretly watching them, knowing that it was not yet time for them to come out.
He immediately pretended to be angry.
"No, keep searching. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must dig out that treasure for me today."
"That treasure is worth hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver. Let's take a share back with each of us brothers."
"I'll never have to worry again!"
The two spies were immediately alarmed upon hearing this.
There's a treasure hidden in these mountains!
They had been lying low in this area for years and had no idea such rumors existed!
The two of them immediately suppressed their burgeoning desires.
If they come out now, the other party might change their mind, and they would lose a lot if they didn't get the treasure.
We have to wait until they find it!
So, Chen Changgeng led them around a few more times, dug three or five deep pits, but still couldn't find anything.
A few dissatisfied guys in Chen Changgeng's team started complaining.
"Brothers, trust me one last time."
"No one knows this area of the countryside better than me!"
"Based on my deduction, there is one last location."
"The baby must be there!"
The two scouts, who had been getting a little sleepy while waiting, immediately perked up and followed Chen Changgeng and the others to change positions.
Sure enough, before they had even shoveled a few strokes, a gasp came from the other side.
"Big brother, it looks like we've actually dug something up!"
Geng Liang shouted as he waved.
The guard beside him took out a cloth bag from his back and threw it on the ground.
"Really? Let me see!"
Chen Changgeng quickly leaped over and landed in the pit, then put the belt he had taken from Crown Prince Xiao Lie into it.
Then, with a flick of his foot, he scooped up some loose soil and covered it with it, then stepped on it.
"Don't move!"
The two spies, who had been waiting impatiently, shouted and jumped out immediately.
The two men drew their gleaming broadswords with a swift movement and pressed forward.
"Who dares to dig indiscriminately in the mountains outside the city!"
"Don't they know that this mountainous area belongs to the imperial estate?"
Chen Changgeng turned his head and stared wide-eyed.
"What imperial estate? Never heard of it!"
"We're just honest people who came out to dig for some medicinal herbs..."
Chen Changgeng shifted his position and clumsily used his foot to poke at the mud, trying to cover up the cloth bag.
The two spies had been following for so long that they were convinced they could find treasure.
He immediately sneered, jumped into the pit, and shoved Chen Changgeng away.
"Just digging for some medicinal herbs, honest guy?"
The scout crouched down, swept away the loose soil with his hand, and picked up a bag.
The contents inside were heavy; they didn't look like medicinal herbs at all.
"What kind of medicinal herb in this world grows inside a cloth bag?"
"I see you as thieves attempting to steal from my imperial estate!"
"Thieves, we're not thieves!"
"This information was bought by our eldest brother for ten taels of silver!"
"This should be ours!"
Geng Liang was also caught up in the act, and immediately reached out to snatch it with a look of anxiety.
Chen Changgeng was secretly alarmed. Why are you being so reckless? What if they stab you right now?
"roll!"
"These suburban mountains belong to the imperial estate. Everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or is buried in the soil within this territory belongs to the imperial estate!"
"You still dare to say you're not thieves!"
Another spy joined them.
Chen Changgeng quickly pulled Geng Liang back, his face ashen, and then secretly glanced back a few times.
"run!"
Suddenly, an order was given.
The group hesitated for a moment, then immediately took off running and scattered in all directions.
The two spies were taken aback. They hadn't expected these people to be so cowardly. They hadn't even been intimidated enough before they gave up.
They were too lazy to chase after it, so they quickly gathered together and carefully opened the cloth bag.
"Whoa!"
"A jade belt!"
"This jade is clearly no ordinary piece. If we hand it over, won't the higher-ups reward us handsomely?"
The two were overjoyed and quickly packed their things, heading towards the imperial estate.
Chen Changgeng and his group naturally did not run far.
One of the guards went directly to mobilize the soldiers of the Crown Prince's residence and the yamen runners of the capital's government offices.
These dozens of people had already been gathered at the city gate by Chen Changgeng using the crown prince's badge.
The rest of the group met at the foot of the mountain and waited for news.
Before long, Old Feng came running back.
"It's done. I saw those two people enter the royal estate with their cloth bundles in front of me."
Chen Changgeng curled his lips into a cold smile.
"Okay, okay, as long as we get the stuff in, things will be easy."
"Now all we have to do is wait for them to arrive, then rush in and search them!"
……
The two spies emerged from the main hall of the imperial estate with smug expressions.
One of them was holding a silver ingot the size of a steamed bun in his hand!
"We're so lucky!"
"We two actually managed to stumble upon this kind of windfall."
"With so much silver, we could buy a few pretty young women."
"Hahaha!"
"Women, aren't there plenty of women around here?"
"If you really want to buy women, just tell me. The guys guarding the gate downstairs are my cousins."
"Pay me a little money, and I'll pick the prettiest one for you!"
The two men immediately revealed lewd looks in their eyes and even licked their lips.
Just then, a series of noisy footsteps suddenly came from afar.
The two of them immediately turned their heads with strange expressions.
What happened?
Is someone arriving?
What about the spies outside the imperial estate?
Why haven't we heard anything?
wrong!
The two suddenly looked at each other.
Isn't it just the two of them on duty today?
This is bad!
"Bang bang bang!"
A loud knocking came from the door.
The gates of the imperial estate trembled violently, and a loud announcement came from outside.
"Official dispatch from the capital's government office! People at the imperial estate, open the gate!"
"I'm going to find the boss for an emergency evacuation."
"Go to the door and stall for time."
The two quickly divided the tasks and, one in front of the other, ran out with all their might.
"Bang bang bang!"
The knocking continued, but there was no response for a long time.
Just as Chen Changgeng was about to raise his hand to signal to rush in, the door creaked open a crack.
At that moment, Chen Changgeng was standing at the door. One of the two spies opened the door, but he had already changed into the clothes of a servant.
So he saw Chen Changgeng's face at a glance, and after a moment of surprise, he instinctively exclaimed in shock.
"How come it's you!"
"not good!"
The scout reacted instantly and tried to close the door, but with a soft "thud," a large hand had already firmly pulled the door shut.
"Take it down!"
