Looking at the long convoy, Liu Shoubei expressed his worry: "Ming Shizi, do you want to bring more people?" Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"No," Pan Jiaming shook his fan, "Twenty-five warriors are more than enough to protect a prisoner car, Liu Shoubei won't be so unconfident in his subordinates, right?" Only the three most important ones escorted into Beijing were Uncle Jin, the dwarf, and Mr. Ledger, the dwarf's "mother" and the shopkeeper of Mo Yazhai were dead, and the other little mole Pan Shizi was troublesome, so he left it to Liu Shoubei to interrogate and deal with it slowly, and it is estimated that the things asked are not of much use, and those people can't touch anything important.

"Just protect this prisoner car?" Liu Shoubei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the dozens of large boxes with locks were worth more than the "treasures" inside, "But, isn't there still ......?" Those six boxes were full of real money and silver, or millions of taels of silver.

"Hehe," Xiao Feng said with a smile, "The garrison can rest assured, the real money and silver have been on the road in the middle of the night last night, and they will be transported by water." ”

Liu Shoubei gasped, uh, these two young people who are less than twenty years old in front of him, should they be so unfathomable? Liu Shoubei, who instantly left his worries behind, was a little sympathetic to all kinds of people who were about to rob.

What made him even more disappointed was that from last night's stolen goods to the storage to this morning's loading out of the warehouse, it can be said that they were all under his nose, why didn't he find anything abnormal? Six boxes of real heavy objects, not six gold bars that can be hidden casually, were unknowingly transferred?

Ahem, the back waves of the river slapped the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach, it seems that he is also old, Liu Shoubei, who is less than forty, touched his nose with emotion: "Didn't the prefect of the Wang Mansion open two boxes just now?"

Pan Jiaming blinked: "In the end, the four boxes on the car were covered with a layer of silver ingots. ”

As the prefect of Changzhou, Pan Jiaming and Liu Yanhao caught unscrupulous people and huge amounts of property of unknown origin on his territory, and he definitely wanted to come forward. Forty or fifty sturdy big boxes, Wang Wenshan felt pain for his lord, and of course, he also pinched a cold sweat for himself. After all, it was on his territory and under his nose that this incident happened, and it was impossible for either the emperor or the lord not to hold him accountable.

Looking at Liu Yanhao discussing something with Pan Jiaming from a distance, Wang Wenshan's brows became tighter and tighter.

has been an official on a turf for many years, although he doesn't have much knowledge of literature and martial arts, he still knows Liu Yanhao quite well. This person has a dead head, no oil and salt, and he doesn't like Pan Jiaming, a family gentleman who enjoys the glory handed down by his ancestors and has nothing to do, how can he get together with Pan Jiaming? If Pan Jiaming found that small courtyard, he should find him, the prefect, how can he run to find Liu Yanhao?

On the contrary, if Liu Yanhao found out, he would not be suitable for a military attache to directly intervene in this kind of matter, but it was possible to go to Pan Jiaming. Although Pan Jiaming is not a magistrate in Changzhou, but the emperor favors him, isn't it?

As it turned out, Liu Yanhao made the right bet. Just now, he secretly instructed the officials below to deliberately "remind" Pan Jiaming that this practice was not in accordance with the procedures, and that all the criminals and stolen goods should be handed over to the prefect's yamen for trial, and then reported to the prefect's yamen.

I didn't want to, Pan Jiaming directly took out a big jade pendant engraved with "Ru I am here", and they quickly knelt on the ground, and then said proudly: "Before the son of this world left Beijing, the emperor gave this jade pendant, saying that if I encounter things and people that have a major impact on the court and Da Ying during my travels, I will immediately become the minister of the Qin Mission, and I have the right to cut first and then play." Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything wrong with this handling of this son?"

Immediately turned into a minister of the Qin Mission? Since he can directly deal with it by bypassing the prefect, with that jade pendant, who dares to say that it is inappropriate? Just say it, Pan Shizi's inexplicable travel is definitely not simple, fortunately, they are all serious sycophants, and they have not said anything inappropriate in front of Pan Shizi.

However, this Pan Shizi is really a fortune boy, every time he goes out, he either picks up a mountain of gold or a treasure, it is said that those forty or fifty big boxes are full of gold, silver and jewelry, to say the least, it is worth four or five million taels, right? The two boxes they saw with their own eyes just now were full of silver ingots.

As for the "property of unknown origin," everyone knows very well what kind of property is unknown? Obviously, it is the property of a big man who is not convenient to put in his own house. In the second half of last year, the emperor also sent a messenger to Changyang to check the accounts of the salt tax......

Everyone was stunned, could it be that these were? So, Dai Pinchao, the envoy of the Liangjiang Salt Transport, wouldn't be the big man? Ah, yes, Dai has lost a lot now. However, the two rivers of salt transport envoys can really make money, Dai Pinchao has only been working for a few years, and he has accumulated such a fortune? It is no wonder that the emperor is not at ease, and every few years he has to send ministers to come over.

Officials who had a clue all secretly made a decision, and before this "huge amount of unknown property" case was clear, they were still far away from Dai Pin. By the way, Dai Pin didn't come to see off Pan Shizi today, it is said that he suffered from a cold two days ago and fell ill.

Looking at everyone's expressions and hand-to-ear actions, Wang Wenshan knew what they were thinking, and compared his heart to heart, if he was one of those people, he would definitely have the same idea. It's a pity that he can't, he and Dai Pinchao are in the same boat at all, and now we can only see how the lord can save it.

It will take a month to go to the capital here, the road is long, and it is not impossible for gold and silver property to be robbed by "bandits".

The important thing is that those people must be eliminated.

In fact, except for Uncle Jin, Wang Wenshan is really unfamiliar with several other people and has not been in contact. He only knew that people like Mr. Yu and Uncle Jin would not betray the lord when they died, because their most important family members or handles were in the hands of the lord, and it was a dead end if they could not betray the lord, and no one would choose to betray them.

In this way, Pan Jiaming and his entourage took the convoy on the road, and they all walked on the official road, and the two officers and soldiers at the front of the team each had a pennant with the words "Qincha" and "Avoidance" on their backs, and they also shouted from time to time, "Important cases in the imperial court, the idlers avoid them." ”

Pan Jiaming and Xiao Feng stopped riding horses, and sat in the carriage leisurely chatting.

"You say, will they pretend to be bandits, robbers or rebels?" Pan Jiaming looked anxious to wait for someone to stop the robbery.

Xiao Feng didn't bother to look up at someone's villain's face: "Is there any difference?"

"No," Pan Jiaming said seriously, "but I hope that they will pretend to be traitors, so that the few people in the prisoner car will be charged with traitors, and our credit will be greater?"

"Ahem," Xiao Feng was directly choked by the sip of tea that had just been put into his mouth, and in a blink of an eye, he thought of something, and glared directly at Pan Jiaming, "What do you want to ask the emperor for? Miss Yin's filial piety period is twenty-seven months, and now sixteen months have passed, and this guy Mingzi has begun to make preparations?

"Haha, why can't I hide my mind from you?" Pan Jiaming expressed his annoyance, but the pride and calculation in his eyes couldn't be covered, "What about recovering five or six million taels of silver, such a great achievement, the emperor must be worried about how to reward me again, don't I take the initiative to ask for it to solve his problems?" Since the emperor knows that the eagle guard is in his hands, he must also know that he is not short of silver, and how insincere it seems to always reward those gold, silver and jewelry? Of course, he has never tried to hide from the emperor. It's just that the emperor doesn't ask, and he doesn't need to take the initiative to mention it, it's good for the monarch and the minister to tacitly do this?

Xiao Feng pursed his lips: "Your life's major events, the emperor must definitely put the wishes of the queen first, and when the time comes, just say something like your relatives and the queen is in charge, let you change your requirements, can you still debate with the emperor?" Moreover, what Pan Jiaming cares about is not the majesty of the queen's mother's honor in the world, but the queen's motherly heart towards him. In the world, except for the old lady, there is no one who can love and value Pan Jiaming's brothers and sisters more than the queen.

Pan Jiaming was not hit by Xiao Feng's words: "Step by step, break each one, I believe there is a way to make my aunt accept, and my aunt is not a stubborn person." The main reason why the queen will block it is because of her love for him, and the biggest reason for him to persuade the queen is the queen's love for him.

Forget it, let's take one step at a time, there is always a way, Xiao Feng didn't want to pour cold water on Pan Jiaming anymore, so he changed the topic and said: "Those people must have both people and silver, aren't you afraid that they will break the kettle and sink the boat, and make up their minds to kill the mouths of those four people?"

"Why are you afraid?" Pan Jiaming shrugged his shoulders, "I just want to use those four people to fish, and I have already ordered twenty-five officers and soldiers not to fight hard with their lives, the focus is to find out the flaws of the people who came from and see if I can deduce their origins." If the person who comes is too fierce, it is important to save his life, and if he commits a robbery, he will rob him. ”

Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, yes, he was confused, to convict Dai Pinchao and Wang Wenshan, it is already full of human and material evidence, it doesn't matter whether these four people have confessions or not, it's just icing on the cake. And to find out the lord who is behind the scenes, it can be seen from Uncle Kim Choi Min-seok's performance yesterday that there is nothing to pry out from these four people, so it is better to stare at the Wang family. The emperor should soon be able to receive their flying eagle summons, and naturally there will be people staring at the palace of Wang Wentong in the capital. And on Changyang's side, they also left people to keep an eye on Wang Wenshan and Dai Pinchao

Thinking of Cui Minxi, Xiao Feng frowned again: "Will Prince Fu really be the mastermind behind the scenes? What does he want so much silver for?" King Fu's life is the least extravagant among all the princes, except for buying antique calligraphy and paintings, he is willing to spend silver, and other aspects can be regarded as simple in the royal family.

Pan Jiaming shook his head: "Who do I ask if you ask me?" If Cui Minxi's real master is indeed King Fu, it means that the person who killed his father is likely to be King Fu, but his father Pan Rubing's relationship with King Fu was not bad when he was alive, and King Fu and his father had no conflict of interest, so there was no reason to harm his father.

The more Pan Jiaming and the others discussed, the heavier their mood became, if the princes needed a lot of silver, in addition to their own enjoyment, there was also a possibility that they would ...... Conspiracy. The royal princes and princes are the closest to the throne, the easiest to desire for that position, and the most reluctant group of people. Also, they are all brothers, and they all have the same noble blood, why should someone be the king, and the others can only bow down to the courtiers?

Isn't the Fu King, who is free and chic, and self-styled?

In the capital, after listening to Mr. Yu's reading of the book of flying pigeons, the master of Pixiu was silent for a long time, but because he was wearing a mask, no one could see his expression. It's just that his body is visibly stiff and tight, and the fist of his right hand on the desk is clenched, and the green tendons on it are exposed.

Mr. Yu was most familiar with the Pixiu master, and he could feel the dangerous, heavy atmosphere that had risen in the room like before a thunderstorm, which made him suddenly feel that it was a little difficult to breathe.

Although this is a major consequence of Kim's carelessness, although the lord has already handed over the authority to handle outside affairs to Kim, he has also proposed that Jin is too aggressive and too self-conscious, but ...... In any case, Jin can be regarded as cultivated by him, and if the lord wants to blame him, he can only bear it.

Fortunately, he had already made secret arrangements, no matter ...... , things are not to the point of irretrievability. It's just that the property of millions of taels of silver is more than half of the funds they have tossed out over the years. In other words, such a long period of accumulation, but in the past two years, it has lost the most manpower and financial resources, which is not a good year, and no matter how human and financial resources are making ends meet.

Just when Mr. Yu felt that the air in the entire secret room was so oppressive that it was about to explode, the master of Pixiu spoke, and his breath was still a little unstable: "Leave this matter to Qianmian, let him lead someone to pretend to be a robber to recover the property, it doesn't matter if you kill or hurt someone, it doesn't matter who you kill or injure, you must recover the money." As for the gold, if they can get it back, they will get it back, and if they can't, they will get rid of it all with poison gas, so that they will not suffer. "Since the bandits dare to rob the official's house, that is, no matter who you are, you naturally have no scruples, there are not many officials who have not been killed by robbers before, including the ministers who escorted all kinds of official silver.

Mr. Yu hurriedly nodded in response, he knew that the lord was already furious at this time, it was not the time for him to give an opinion, and he would make a slight adjustment when he arranged it himself. In other words, does Pan Jiaming's gentleman have a special physique, which is particularly attractive to gold and silver?

Although the lord was furious, he had to remind him hard: "I'm afraid that Liu Yanhao has been staring at this for a long time, and I don't know if he only found our secret treasury or ...... What else did you find? Dai Pinchao can't stay, Wang Wenshan...... , we also have to be prepared on the Wang family's side, but fortunately, I insisted on giving that instruction to Jin at the beginning. At that time, Kim still respected him very much. (To be continued.) )
