Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 106 Finding Supplies!

"Stone alley?"

Li Weidong never thought that the other party would click here.

Stone Hutong is also one of the Eight Great Hutongs.

It is as famous as Yanzhi Hutong where Zhang Yunshang is located.

There is a proverb: The Eight Great Hutongs have been named since ancient times, and Xishan Baishun Stone City.

The stone city here refers to the stone alley.

It's just that this place is far from the Bell Tower Hutong where Gui Shaoning was arrested, not to mention the opposite, but the middle is too far away.

But on the surface, Li Weidong only had some experience, but he didn't look at the Bell Tower Hutong on the other side.

"Mr. Hou San should know about this place, right?" Gui Shaoning smiled lightly.

It can be said that if you pull someone casually on the street, you can at least name one or two Eight Great Hutongs.

"Yes, I have a friend who lives next door."

Li Weidong nodded, not pretending not to know.

"It's just that as far as I know, stone alleys are already inhabited by people, aren't you afraid that those things will be discovered?" Li Weidong asked again immediately.

Although Gui Shaoning pointed out the location, Li Weidong was still dubious.

The main reason is that even if it was placed there before liberation, the flow of people would not be much less. How did the other party hide a large amount of supplies there quietly?
"Since Mr. Hou San knows about Shitou Hutong, do you know what kind of livelihood there was before liberation?"

"A brothel? A theater?"

"No, to be precise, the stone alley used to have the most smokehouses, and one of them belonged to me.

At the beginning, I ordered people to secretly build a passage, which can lead directly from the secret room of the smoke hall to the outside.

Those gold, silver and jewels are now hidden by me in the secret room under the smoke hall.

That passage was very secret, and no more than three people knew about it back then.

After I took advantage of the chaos to fix Dong XZ, I directly destroyed the passage from the smoke hall to the secret room, and from then on, I was the only one who knew the secret room.

Although it has been so long, I believe that unless someone strips it down and rebuilds it, the secret room will never be discovered.

As for the passage from the outside into the secret room below the smoke hall, no one will find it even in ten or eight years. "

Gui Shaoning said with full confidence.

And he used to be the director of the logistics department. It was normal for this fat and oily job to have a tobacco shop under his name.

However, since Chang Qingbo didn't mention this point, it seems that the opium shop was not directly under his name, but was the leader behind the scenes.

In this way, the credibility of this matter is extremely high.

What's more, the two are now both prosperous, and Gui Shaoning has to count on him, and he may not be able to bear the price of lying.

When Li Weidong took out a gun to wipe it in front of him, it was also a kind of beating.

Let Gui Shaoning understand that Li Weidong is not a kind person.

"Okay, I will trust you once, when will I act?"

"How about tomorrow night?"

Gui Shaoning felt his own situation and tried to delay it for a day.

He naturally hoped to wait for his body to fully heal before going, but he also knew that this was impossible.

It is impossible for Li Weidong to give him too much time.

"it is good."

In the following time, Li Weidong didn't secretly go to Shitou Hutong to check, not because he didn't want to take it all by himself.

Rather, he believed that since Gui Shaoning dared to speak in front of him, he was not afraid of him going ahead.

Presumably, he has deep confidence in the secret way.

That's it, until the next night.

The two of them climbed over the wall and left Wu Laoliu's house, and walked towards the stone alley swaggeringly.

Along the way, Gui Shaoning looked around, trying to find some familiar impressions.

Calculated according to the time, it has been more than ten years since he took Dong XZ there. This number is too long.

I don't know how he persisted.

And the reason why he stayed was really just for the supplies?

What is his relationship with the enemy agents lurking in the city?
Even counting from the time he was arrested, it would have been three or four years.

For such a long time, the other party did not rescue him sooner or later, why did he choose this time?
Li Weidong had too many questions in his heart that could not be answered.

But his intuition told him that the other party was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

A person who even had to build a secret road behind the smokehouse, his degree of caution can be seen.

Such a person will be reported by the masses because of accidentally showing his feet?

And that smokehouse, is it just a smokehouse?

Not long after, the two came to Stone Alley.

However, after Gui Shaoning led him around, he came out again and turned into another alley.

After three turns and five turns, the eyes suddenly opened up.

A huge old locust tree with its leaves already shed appeared in front of him.

This locust tree is as thick as six or seven people hugging each other, and it is 40 meters high.

Beside the locust tree, there is a temple.

But at this moment, the stele at the entrance of the temple has been destroyed, the plaque has disappeared, and the inside is a mess.

Even so, just from the scale of this temple, one can imagine how prosperous the incense used to be here.

It's a pity that the grand occasion is long gone.

Because here represents Feng (Jian fan) letter.

Right now, it is about to be banned.

"Here, this?"

When Gui Shaoning saw this scene, he was stunned.

"You wouldn't have built the passage here in the first place, would you?"

Li Weidong didn't know what to say.

If calculated according to the time, Gui Shaoning started to break the Feng (Jian Fan) letter not long after he entered.

This is typical.

However, from the few piles of paper ashes that can be vaguely seen at the door, it can be seen that there are still people secretly worshiping.

Theoretically speaking, if Gui Shaoning really chooses to place the passage entrance here, it would be very reliable.

Because of this kind of temple, the incense can easily last for dozens or hundreds of years.

People who come here on weekdays, don't say they are respectful, who would dare to be presumptuous here?

The passage entrance will undoubtedly be very safe.

However, no one could have imagined the change in the situation.

"Here, but not in the temple."

Gui Shaoning shook his head, instead of asking the question, he looked at the thick old locust tree.

"The entrance to the passage is in the tree?"

This result was beyond Li Weidong's expectation.

"That's right, this locust tree has been empty for many years, and several people can stand inside it. At the beginning, I found a craftsman whose ancestors built large tombs for people. Under my coercion, he used this locust tree With the tree as the center, a passage leading to the secret room under the smoke hall was dug."

"Although I don't really believe in this thing, are you really not afraid of retribution?" Li Weidong couldn't help but said.

"At that time, I had people with money and guns, so what retribution was I afraid of?"

Gui Shaoning shook his head and didn't say anything about the future.

Because the person who was in charge of digging the tunnel was the first to suffer retribution and was silenced by him.

As for him, the years in prison are the best interpretation.

"Let's go and have a look first, I hope that the secret room you mentioned has not been discovered."

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he walked around the old pagoda tree. The lowest branch was about four meters away from the ground. The trunk itself had no place to climb.

As for adults, they would not climb this old locust tree if they were in awe.

Now Li Weidong also understood why Gui Shaoning asked him to wear a rope.

After finding a place, Li Weidong threw the rope up, wrapped it around in a circle, and climbed up directly dragging the rope.

In the middle of the branch, there is a dark hole.

I took a photo with a flashlight, and there are many spider webs inside, and the bottom is covered with dead leaves.

The internal space is indeed as Gui Shaoning said, very wide, with a diameter of two meters.

After he pulled Gui Shaoning up, the two dragged the rope inside again.

Then Gui Shaoning groped for a while on the trunk, lifted a piece of wood with a knife, reached in and pulled hard.

Faintly, Li Weidong heard a click.

Then the position under the feet is obviously higher.

When the branches and fallen leaves covering the top are swept away, a cover plate is exposed.

After opening it, a hole came into Li Weidong's sight.

The design of this mechanism is fairly secretive, and more importantly, it has not failed after so long.

It can be seen that the craftsman who built the secret path back then was of a good level.

Li Weidong tried it with his hands, and faintly felt the wind blowing up from below, which meant that there were ventilation holes reserved in the secret passage, so he could go down directly.

I walked down the iron ladder for about four meters before stepping on it firmly.

At this time, Gui Shaoning was out of breath.

This action obviously consumed a lot of his strength. He was already weak, so he didn't squat on the ground, which is already very good.

Li Weidong didn't rush forward, but illuminated with a flashlight and looked at the passage.

I thought it was just a simple excavated passage, but I didn't expect that the two sides and the top of the head were all covered with blue bricks.

He is less than two meters tall, but he is tall enough to stand upright, and his width is more than one meter.

"This passage is really just to leave a way out for escape?"

It's not that Li Weidong is suspicious, but that this kind of behavior is unreasonable.

Where is the other end of the tunnel?
It was neither the mansion of the former high-ranking nobles, nor was it a place of high confidentiality, it was just a smoke house to deceive the public.

Then, there is a big problem with this "luxury" passage.

At the same time, he had to wonder whether the batch of secret materials that Chang Qingbo and others were looking for was really hidden here?

But no matter what, since we have reached the current stage, even if there is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den in front of us, we have to bite the bullet and go on.

After a few minutes of rest, Gui Shaoning signaled to Li Weidong that he could move on.

As if to prove that the passage was not dangerous, he deliberately walked in front.

At the end, a thick iron gate blocked the way.

Li Weidong stepped forward and knocked with his hands. If there is no key or special tools, it is absolutely impossible to break open.

Gui Shaoning, on the other hand, counted the green bricks along the iron gate, and when he was sure, he pried out another piece with a knife, and took out an oiled paper bag from it. After opening it, a special key was revealed.

But before he could speak, a cold iron pipe was pressed against his forehead.

"Mr. Hou San, what do you mean? Want to eat alone?"

Gui Shaoning couldn't see the slightest panic on his face, he even threw away the knife in his hand, and just squatted on the ground, letting Li Weidong point a gun at him.

"That's right, Lao Gui, you're so smart, you don't just think of this question now, do you? I worked so hard to get you out of prison, and I can get all of it, why only half of it?"

Li Weidong said unhurriedly.

With Gui Shaoning's physical condition, coupled with his skill, and the gun in his hand, if he can still be overthrown by the opponent, then he just finds a piece of tofu and kills him.

But he didn't get carried away, and directly confessed his identity.

Instead, he continued to play the role of a treacherous person who murdered his friends for profit.

"Don't you worry, those gold and silver treasures are not hidden here? Don't worry, I just sang an empty city plan?

If I were you, I wouldn't do it now, but wait until I open the secret room and see the gold, silver and jewels. "

Gui Shaoning still said calmly.

It seemed that he was sure that Li Weidong would not shoot, let alone do anything to him.

After hearing what he said, Li Weidong nodded seriously.

"You're right. Logically speaking, I really shouldn't do it now. I'm too anxious, but you might as well guess again, why should I do it now?"
