In the secret room of Yanzi Pirates' Loyalty Hall, Shi Kang felt that he had gained too much.

It was so big that he couldn't even take it away.

First, several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were piled in the corner.

He didn't know the value of the jewelry, but the rest of the gold and silver was also quite large.

20 There are more than thirty gold bars each, and there are also large pieces of silver ingots. According to Shi Kang's estimate, there are at least about 6,000 taels.

In addition, there are a large number of copper coins piled at the bottom of the box.

Added together, these amount to almost ten thousand taels of silver, which is a large sum of money.

An ordinary house in Fengyang County only costs 10-15 taels, and even a three-entry courtyard like Fengyang Martial Arts Hall only costs more than 100 taels.

The money here is enough to buy a hundred Fengyang martial arts schools.

It's a pity that Shi Kang couldn't take away so much money. He could only carry gold bars with him. There was nothing he could do with the remaining silver and copper coins.

Although there are things like banknotes in this world, they are basically independent of each other. They become ineffective beyond a certain range and are extremely unpopular. They only exist in certain large-scale caravan transactions.

Here, of course not.

Even if Yanzi is robbed, those banks and the like will not admit the account. After all, if you want to get the money, in addition to the note, you have to get it yourself - even if you are not the person, you must be his immediate family member, and someone else must accompany you.

Only then can you get it.

Therefore, banknotes and the like are not favored by robbers. It is more preferable to get gold and silver directly.

In addition to the money, there is also a lot of military supplies in this secret room.

Shining swords and guns, sturdy armor, and various types of wound medicine are neatly placed.

Obviously these cannot be prepared in a day or two.

In addition to money and military supplies, Shi Kang also found a secret compartment here, which contained several letters and records written by Kong Yuexin himself.

What is written above is the ins and outs of all his affairs. Although some things are unclear, it can be roughly estimated based on the context.

Kong Yuexin originally had nothing to do with the Canghai Liu family. It was after he fled Yancheng and founded the Yanzi Bandits that someone contacted him and asked him to join the Liu family.

Shi Kang read the records he wrote. At that time, he hesitated repeatedly and thought for a long time before agreeing to surrender.

As a result, he soon had a group of "loyal" subordinates.

With the help of these subordinates, Yanzi Pirates' reputation grew and grew, gradually attracting people like Luo Yongsan.

After joining the Liu family, Kong Yuexin also received a lot of help.

In addition to some rare medicines and martial arts techniques, he also had many wishes fulfilled.

In the early stage after joining the Liu family, he didn't have to do much. He just had to carry out robbery as usual.

In the later stages, wealth will begin to need to be handed over.

The Liu family will also send people to deal with the surrounding troubles for him. Some strong people want to cause trouble for him, but almost all of them are assassinated by the Liu family.

This also makes the Yanzi Thief gradually become a presence that cannot be offended in the surrounding area.

Even the lord of Yancheng who was causing trouble for him was transferred away and assassinated on his way to his new post.

In addition to handing over wealth and women on time, Kong Yuexin here also serves as a unified place for various surrounding strongholds. After all, there are not many masters who can gather strength, and he is also a rare talent, controlling many surrounding cities.

's secret agent.

And when the Zheng family wanted to take over the world, Kong Yuexin also had to obey. Not only did he need to train good enough soldiers, but he also needed to seize the area and expand his territory at the corresponding time and place.

Shi Kang didn't see that Kong Yuexin's own selfishness was written on it, it was all about loyalty to the Liu family.

This is a matter of course.

Obviously this thing cannot appear on paper and pen, it can only be placed in one's own heart.

"Every once in a while, we have to send the collected women and wealth to the south."

Shi Kang's eyes froze for a moment, and he saw the news he wanted to see.

When he gradually lowered his gaze and saw the latest record, he felt a little happy in his heart, "It's only been two days since the last time."

"As for the inland transportation methods, we can only take a car or walk. In two days, we shouldn't have to go far."

A smile appeared on Shi Kang's lips. He looked at the remaining letters. Most of them contained various exchanges and records with the Liu family, and were of little value.

But, what to do with the remaining things?

He alone can carry several hundred taels of gold which is pretty good. It is impossible to carry away those weapons, silver taels and copper coins.

But it is impossible to leave him here. Although he has slaughtered all the Yanzi thieves, there is no guarantee that there will be people who know about this place. Wouldn't he be an enemy again?

Then give it away? He didn't know who to give it to.

To the people in Yancheng? He was not sure how many of the people in Yancheng were related to the Liu family.

The Yanzi Pirates have been growing for so long, and they cannot escape the blame.

Since everything failed, Shi Kang wanted to simply bury it somewhere else.

But as long as there are people who are proficient in trace inspection, they can find out where he buried them and dig out these things.

"Just burn it on fire."

Shi Kang thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find a good way, so he decided to do it in his heart.

Although it was a pity to have a large sum of money and supplies, it was still better than subsidizing the enemy. He was going to fight against the Liu family and even the Zheng family, so how could he leave these things in their hands.

Just when he was about to destroy everything here, his ears suddenly moved and he heard a trace of movement.

So he immediately stopped, held his breath, and listened intently to what was going on outside.

Sure enough, after a while, there were many footsteps, accompanied by exclamations one after another.

Their sentences were very fast. Although Shi Kang could hear the movement, it was a bit difficult to form specific sentences.

He only vaguely heard words such as "Swallow Thief" and "Luo Yongsan".

Is this the Yanzi Thief again?

Or are there some people who don't like the swallow thieves and want to deal with them?

Shi Kang thought about both possibilities and felt that it would be the latter.

If they were really Yanzi robbers, they would not talk about this. Instead, they would first enter the secret room to see if the things here were still there, and investigate who killed them as they should.

But the group of people outside were just chatting, and the occasional footsteps must have been patrolling the surroundings. Their unhurried attitude was enough to prove their identities.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, the group of people entered the Yiqi Hall.

The conversation between them became increasingly clear and audible.

Shi Kang closed his eyes and leaned next to a treasure box, listening to the words between them.
