It was already late at night, and the heavy snow like goose feathers was still falling. Although the snowflakes looked light, they actually had weight. When the night was late, you could even hear the sound of snowflakes falling.

Li Jie and Dali Shaoqing Xie Wang were each sitting in front of the window wrapped in quilts, staring at the bank diagonally opposite. Now half of the second update has passed, but there is still no movement on the bank, which makes both of them a little anxious.

However, just when Li Jie was wondering if the bandits were resting today, he suddenly saw a window on the far right side of the bank lit up, and then it became darker. After three consecutive times, Li Jie immediately shouted loudly: "The signal is coming, act!"

With Li Jie's order, the guards downstairs, who had been frozen for the middle of the night, immediately received the order, and then rushed to the street like a tide. All the major traffic arteries around the bank were blocked and no one was allowed to enter and exit.

Originally, it was just a group of bandits, and there was no need to do such a big battle. However, now I mainly don’t know where the bandits dug the hole. If they first started catching people, they would run away from the other side of the hole. They would not be able to catch them at that time, because no one had seen the bandits look like.

In fact, Li Jie's worries were right. As soon as they stood out, a rocket rose into the sky at the door of the bank, with a sharp roar. It was obvious that someone was reporting the news.

This made Li Jie immediately bring people to the place where the signal was sent, but found that this was the settlement of a group of beggars. They were hiding from the cold in the bank during the day and lying in the corner of the bank at night. Anyway, the bank would open again after waiting for a few hours, as long as they were not frozen to death in the middle.

Time was urgent, and Li Jie didn't have time to argue who sent the signal just now, so he simply asked someone to take care of all the beggars, and then he personally brought people to the back of the bank. There were seven or eight families here, which were close to the bank, so the bandits would probably start digging from here. After all, it was impossible to dig an authentic tunnel too long. One could be at risk of landslides, and the other was that the digging of soil was not easy to deal with.

So Li Jie and Xie Wang also led people to search the seven or eight families one by one. Li Jie searched from left to right, while Xie Wang searched from right to left. At the beginning, there was no problem with the two families.

However, when Li Jie found the third house, the guards came forward to knock on the door, but there was no movement in the yard, which made Li Jie immediately feel something was wrong. He immediately kicked the door open, and then the group broke in.

As soon as he entered the yard, Li Jie obviously had something wrong with his feet because the ground under his feet was much higher than outside. When he kicked the snow on the ground with his feet, he found that the ground was full of fresh soil, which seemed to have just been dug out of the ground.

"I've found you, search for it carefully!" Li Jie sneered and ordered again, and sent someone to notify Xie Wang, asking him to bring him to block the entire yard so that no one would escape.

Sure enough, just as the guards rushed into the yard, someone wanted to jump over the wall and escape under the cover of the night. Unfortunately, the white snow could not hide his figure at all, so he was soon caught up by several guards and pushed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, an imperial guard rushed into the main room, but unexpectedly someone resisted inside, and the imperial guards were injured. Li Jie was also very annoyed and immediately ordered the imperial guards to shoot arrows. The entire main room was shot into a honeycomb. Then he sent someone to rush into the main room, and soon dragged out two injured people from it.

But this is not the end, because the imperial guards reported to Li Jie that they found a big hole in the ground of the main room. The bandits who had resisted before hid in the cave and refused to come out in the desperate situation.

"Set the fire and smoke them out!" Li Jie also ordered again. At this time, Xie Wang also brought people over and immediately helped to raise the fire together, and then threw it into the cave. Soon, thick smoke began to roll in the cave, and even the entire main room was smoking outward, which seemed to be on fire.

The bandits inside finally couldn't hold back. Soon someone crawled out of the cave with a cough. The guards guarding the entrance of the cave immediately tied up the people, and then there was a second, a third...

In the end, there were five bandits in the tunnel, plus the three arrested before, there were eight people in total. However, they also had eyeliners in the bank, so there must be more than this one.

After all the bandits in the tunnel came out, Li Jie sent people to go down to the tunnel with full arms to check it out so that no one would hide in the tunnel and not come out. In addition, he also wanted to see how far these people had dug.

After the people who went down disappeared into the tunnel, Li Jie and the others also waited on it for a long time. In the end, he was not at ease and sent a few more people down. As a result, someone came back soon to report that the tunnel below was very narrow and could only bend over to pass, but there was a wide ear chamber in the middle, and there were even some daily necessities inside.

When the local road reached the end, it was the cement exterior wall of the Yinkuan, but now a large hole has been dug, and it will probably not take long to dig it through.

Li Jie was also very curious when he heard this. After confirming that the tunnel below was not dangerous, he and Xie Wang also went down to the tunnel together. The soil in Beijing is relatively dry and the groundwater is deep, but even so, the tunnel is still a little wet.

However, the tunnel is quite warm. Although it is snowing outside, the tunnel is a bit stuffy. Although the soil on the surface has been frozen, the soil under the frozen soil is not affected and is easy to dig. Moreover, the soil on the surface is even less likely to collapse after it is frozen, ensuring the safety of the tunnel.

When Li Jie went down to the tunnel, he found that the entire tunnel was built quite sturdy, and even wooden stakes were used on both sides of the tunnel, making the tunnel more stable. There were also traces of shovel excavation on both sides of the wall, and shovels were extremely neat. It can be seen that these people should be very professional in digging tunnels.

Li Jie and Xie Wang bent over and walked through the tunnel in front. In the middle, they saw an ear chamber. The entire ear chamber was not big, but it also allowed four or five people to lie flat and rest. There was also a bedding, a kettle and tools on the ground.

What surprised Li Jie even more was that there were several open bamboos in the ear chamber leading to the ground, and the bamboo was connected to something similar to a bellows. Li Jie tried it and found that it could suck down the fresh air on it so that the tunnel would not be too stuffy.

"What is this bandit's origin? This authenticity alone requires a lot of energy!" Xie Wang looked around in the ear room and said in shock. It was the first time he had seen such a big prisoner in so many years. This authenticity alone is enough to see that these bandits are definitely not ordinary people.

Li Jie also had the same question in his heart. He walked forward and continued to walk in, intending to see what these people had made the outer wall of the silver warehouse look like?
