Lost and Spy

Chapter 138
The bushes on the left are particularly lush.

If you look closely, you will find that the soil under the bushes is also different from other places.

Someone once fertilized here.

Which person who is full and has nothing to do will come to such a small island to fertilize?
Unless he wants to deliberately hide something.

Like... loot or something.

Also, the bushes grow differently, many of which are broken and then slowly re-grow.

Why is this happening?

Someone has been through it.

When Mizilang pushed aside the bushes, there was a rock blocking the road ahead.

Under the inspiration of Chief Meng, he also began to learn to think and observe.

It didn't take long before he found a cave carefully covered with stones and weeds.

He bent down and got into the cave, and came out with the first box after a while.

No wonder, that time, I came here with Xue Sanqiang and waited for a long time on the boat before Xue Sanqiang came back, looking exhausted.

Because he had to walk a long way with that box, and then he had to cover up all the traces before he could come back.

With a thin stature, he completed these things far beyond his physical strength entirely by virtue of his perseverance and the potential inspired by his extreme greed.

But Miziro was not surprised, if it was him, he would do the same.

What shocked him was that Chief Meng really let the dead "speak"!

Terrible observation skills, precise judgment and analysis.

Miziro no longer knew what words to use to describe it.

A total of twelve chests were hidden in the cave.

This is the wealth accumulated by the Xue family for several generations as bandits.

One after another, the boxes were opened.

Gold, silver, oceans, exquisite utensils, jade pendants for men, jewelry for women, Western watches, emerald green and transparent, crystal clear gemstones...

There are so many things to see, it's like a department store.

The Xue family is a lake bandit, and they really rob everything and want everything.

"I've heard for a long time that after Xue Sanqiang hijacks a merchant ship, he will immediately sell the goods on board and exchange them for gold, silver, ocean or any other valuable things. After distributing some of them to his men, the rest will belong to himself."

Mi Zilang looked at the twelve boxes in a daze: "Poor three generations of his family have been bandits, but they all work for Chief Meng again."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

This kid can talk.

The three generations of the Xue family are his wage earners.

A greedy man, but in the end he lost what he valued the most.

Including his life.

Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "A bandit is a bandit, alas, how do we take these ten boxes back is the real troublesome thing."

Ten mouths?

Isn't it twelve?

Mi Zilang was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Mr. Meng, I really admire you, but your arithmetic is not very good. There are only five boxes here. Zilang really doesn't know why you counted them well." Ten mouthfuls."

A subordinate who is smart and good at observing words and deeds is liked by any leader.

Meng Shaoyuan hesitated.

It was more than half dark all of a sudden, it seems a bit too dark, right?
But if you think about it again, this is what you sacrificed your life for.

do not care.

"Oh, my chief is really bad at arithmetic, there are really only five people."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Zilang, let's take these things back later, if you take a bite, it counts as a hard work for you and me."

This is a reward for him, but also a hush money.

Without even thinking about it, Mi Zilang said, "Even if Chief Meng doesn't ask, Zilang still wants to ask Chief Meng. Xue Sanqiang's subordinates are mixed, good and bad, and Zilang is going to eliminate the old and the weak, leaving the strong and strong to form the main backbone of the Taihu militia.

Chief Meng, Zilang thought, the Taihu militia, I am afraid that the higher-ups will not allocate funds, and they have to figure out their own way, so they can't go looting again, right?

So I want to convert all the boxes awarded by the officer into cash, part of which will be used to reward militia members and improve morale, and the other part will be reserved for future funds, and maybe it can be used for business investment as a long-term plan. "

Meng Shaoyuan appointed Mi Zilang as the head of the militia before, but it was just a stopgap measure. He didn't expect that this guy had some skills and had such a long-term vision.

Mi Zilang was born in an innocent family, educated and educated, but he was forced to become a bandit.

Seeing that he can have a good background at this time, he must have thought hard about how to serve Chief Meng.

Meng Shaoyuan also decided that when he returned to Nanjing this time, he must plead desperately in front of Dai Li to see if he could turn the Taihu militia into a real armed force.

Then give Miziro a serious appointment.

In this way, it is tantamount to making up for one of its major shortcomings. In the future, there will be a paramilitary force that can be called at any time.

"Officer Meng, Zilang has another bold suggestion. Sir, it's okay to take these gold oceans back, but other things seem to be inconvenient to carry. It's better to stay in Jiangyin for the time being. Zilang will find a way to help you sell them slowly. "

Meng Shaoyuan was thinking about how to tell Dai Li when he went back, and he said "oh" casually.

But Mi Zilang got it wrong: "Also, Zilang's wife has long wanted to visit a big city, so this time Zilang took the liberty to ask Chief Meng to take her to Nanjing for a while. With three months of pregnancy, that is Zilang's only offspring..."

Only then did Meng Shaoyuan suddenly wake up.

Mizilang was worried that he would hack these things if he didn't trust him, so he took his wife and future children as hostages?

"Your wife, what are you doing by my side?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "And your child, do you want me to help you raise the child? The whole family eats mine and uses mine? How can there be such a good woman in the world?" matter?

Things, you help me deal with it, it doesn't matter if it takes longer.Wife and children, stay by your side and you will raise them yourself. This officer will definitely not raise other people's wives and children. "

Seeing that Commander Meng trusted him so much, Mi Zilang was inexplicably grateful, and even his voice became a little choked up:

"Zilang lost his life and became a bandit. Today he has to start a new life, and he is trusted and respected by the officer. From now on, he will do his best to serve the officer's kindness. If Zilang steals a dollar, the sky will be thundered, and his wife will die!"

This poisonous oath.

"Zi Lang, you don't have to swear like that. Even if you want to run, you can't run away. Although the world is big, if I want to find someone, the dead will talk to me."

Meng Shaoyuan is very skillful in combining grace and power:

"Do my best to help me with affairs, and I will never treat you badly. I will always give you a good background in the future."

……

It is not an easy task to rely on two people to transport all the twelve boxes back, and to cover up people's eyes and ears.

Meng Shaoyuan and Mi Zilang were careful, and it took two days to finish transporting them all, and they were exhausted.

I found a safe place and hid seven boxes.

The remaining five people are considered to be the stolen goods of Xue Sanqiang seized this time.
