Chapter 560: Spying
Fortune Inn.
At night, in a room on the second floor.
Liu Changqing and Qi Ying were sitting at the table, talking at night, discussing their next moves.
Qi Ying was born as a military attachΓ©, and he didn't really know much about some of the ways in the officialdom, and after the two of them analyzed the case, he couldn't help but be curious: "Could it be related to official documents?" β
Liu Changqing said: "It is related to the national treasury, and it is an order of the Prime Minister's Office, and it is not so easy to fake official documents. β
"For example, if Fu'an County needs to hand over 50,000 stone of grain to the state, then the county decree will verify the amount, write it in detail in the official document, and then stamp the official seal, and this official document needs to be handed over layer by layer."
Speaking of this, Liu Changqing said again: "Unless, there is collusion between the top and bottom." β
"Then this case is too big." Qi Ying grinned, and after a pause, he said, "But my lord, since they embezzled such a huge amount of grain, where did all this grain go?" Just like a homicide case, a murder weapon will generally become the key to solving the case. β
"That's the point." Liu Changqing glanced at him with a smile.
As soon as the two of them said this, Qi Ying's expression suddenly tightened, and then he grabbed the war knife on the table, and with the help of the table, he jumped to the roof with the help of the table.
He jumped up and directly pierced the tiles above his head, followed by the sound of weapons colliding.
A man in black was just about to approach from the roof, but was noticed by Qi Ying, at this time the two fought together, it seemed that he didn't expect Qi Ying to be so high, the man in black was forced to retreat in three or two moves, and he didn't dare to fight anymore, so he immediately turned around and ran.
Qi Ying wanted to chase again, but his heart moved and he hurriedly withdrew.
In the room, as soon as Qi Ying jumped on the roof with his front feet, another man in black forced his way in through the door.
Liu Changqing is a civil official, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, so in this situation, he can only retreat again and again.
But the man in black who came in didn't even look at him, and aimed at the burden on the bed.
But as soon as he reached out of his arm, a sharp lightning bolt had already shot from top to bottom!
The war knife was nailed to the bed, and Qi Ying went and returned, already falling through the gap above his head.
Seeing this, the man in black secretly gritted his teeth, withdrew unwillingly, and quickly evacuated.
"Where to run!" Qi Ying jumped out of the door, although he saw the figure of the assassin, but after a while, he didn't dare to chase it easily.
"Are you alright, sir?" After coming back, he also asked for the first time.
Liu Changqing didn't seem to hear it, but leaned on the side of the bed, stared at the burden, and muttered to himself: "It's really strange and strange......"
"What did you find?" Qi Ying couldn't help but come up.
Liu Changqing came back to his senses, glanced at him, and said: "There are two assassins, the first person, obviously to attract your attention and create opportunities for the second person, their purpose is not to kill people, but to burden. β
Hearing this, Qi Ying also looked down at the bed.
In the baggage, there is not only some change of clothes for the two of them, but more importantly, Xiao Yuan's Wang Zhao.
The purpose of the assassins was clearly on the royal edict.
Liu Changqing said: "I'm afraid our identity has already attracted the attention of local officials, but how do they know about it?" This is very strange, from this point of view, I am afraid that it will also involve the DPRK and China......"
"Your Excellency is saying that this matter still has something to do with the ministers of the DPRK and China?" Qi Ying swallowed.
Liu Changqing didn't answer this sentence, but pondered for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, the Fu'an County Order is no longer important, let's go quickly, this place is not suitable for a long time, we should rush to Liangzhou immediately!" At the same time, ask for the help of the army. β
"But, will the army ignore us?" Qi Ying said worriedly.
The army has an army system, and no matter how high your civilian rank is, if you say that you will not be dumped, you will still not be dumped.
However, Liu Changqing patted the wrapped Qin Wang Jian, and said with a smile: "With Wang Jian here, Zhao Mu doesn't dare not help." β
"Okay, let's pack up." Qi Ying responded.
But at this time, the movement of breaking through the roof naturally attracted the innkeeper.
After running up in a hurry with Xiao Er, the shopkeeper first looked at the hole above his head, and then said again and again: "Two guest officers, this is going to demolish the shop......
"Shopkeeper, it was just an accident." Qi Ying was helpless for a while.
"What should the guest say?"
"Compensation, we will pay."
"Yes, thirty taels of silver." The shopkeeper held out three fingers.
When Qi Ying heard this, she was not happy on the spot: "What did you say!?" Aren't you a slanderer! Repairing a roof, spending so much money? β
"The guest officer is unwilling, shall we report to the official?"
"You!" Qi Ying was furious, and Liu Changqing hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, give it to him, don't make any extraneous branches." β
Now that the situation is urgent, Jinling, there may be people who doubt their identities and come to grab the burden for verification.
Seeing him say this, Qi Ying had no choice but to take out the silver sullenly and stuff it into the shopkeeper's hand.
"Huh." took the silver and checked it, and the shopkeeper suddenly smiled: "Two guest officers, are you going to check out?" β
"It's a fart! Let's go! Qi Ying glared at him fiercely, and with a push, he also left with Liu Changqing on his back.
After coming out, the shopkeeper took out the horse, it was already late at night, but the two still had to hurry, Qi Ying even said: "My lord, I said it, you must pay back the thirty taels of silver." β
"Okay, okay, why are you more slamming the door than me, after the matter is done, let the king reimburse, and promise to pay you back......"
On the other side, Jinling County Government.
The current Jinling County Guard is not Tian Zhi, Tian Zhu was only temporary during the war, and as soon as the war ended, he followed Xiao Yuan back to the capital.
The county guard here, named Yang Taihe, is in his forties, and the reason why he can serve here is also related to Xiao Yuan's original efforts to stabilize the cool land.
Right now, he's anxiously awaiting news.
At the hand, there was still his staff sitting, and when he saw this, he said: "According to the approval of the Prime Minister's Office, the imperial court should not be aware of this matter, is your lord too worried?" β
"Nope." Yang Taihe raised his hand, and Zhengse said: "I thought the same before, but fortunately, someone above sent a letter to the official, saying that it was in the court, and Liu Changqing had not seen the court for many days, so let me wait to be careful." β
"My lord means that Liu Changqing has already arrived in the cool land?"
Yang Taihe shook his head uncertainly: "Liu Changqing, this person is not easy to deal with, I heard that oil and salt do not enter, if he really comes, and he brings the royal order, then the matter will be troublesome, so we have to be careful." β
"That'...... What about Liangzhou? The staff asked tentatively.
Yang Taihe thought for a while and said, "It's not certain whether the matter is true or false now, but just in case, it's better to notify them as soon as possible and be more restrained." β
"My subordinates understand, so let's do it." The staff saluted and retreated.
