In an elegant wine shop, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu were sitting in a precarious position, but Zao Yi couldn't eat and fidgeted, and the three of them watched helplessly at Nanying's disappointing like flying, sweeping the wine and meat on the case like a whirlwind, and their mouths also let out a sound of admiration from time to time.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and after a while, Gao Feng rushed into the wine shop and whispered in Nanying's ear for a long time.

But seeing that the corners of Nanying's mouth were gradually spreading, he suddenly slapped the case a few times: "Okay! Ladies and gentlemen, let's explore the grain depot again! ”

Zao Yi was surprised and said, "Still probe? Didn't it just ......"

Suddenly, he felt that his sleeves were pulled, but when he turned his head, he saw Cheng Yu's face radiant, and his eyes were shining at Nanying.

After a short time, everyone was already standing in front of the money vault on the left side of the county treasury, and Nan Ying waved his body and ordered Gao Feng to bring several large buckets of water, pour them on the ground of the treasury, and then carefully inspect them.

After a while, Nanying shook his head and walked to the grain depot on the right first.

Although everyone was in the clouds, seeing Nanying's solemn expression, no one dared to intervene, only to follow suit.

Nanying ordered someone to pour water on the ground of the granary, and after a while, he suddenly laughed loudly.

Zao Youxi said, "How is the gentleman?" But what are the eyebrows? ”

Nan Ying asked rhetorically, "Lord County Lieutenant, how many people do you have in your hands now?" ”

Zao only thought for a while and said, "There are more than thirty people who can be mobilized immediately!" If you give me half a day, you can get 100 people! ”

Nan Ying said categorically: "No, you immediately gather these more than 30 people, hand them over to Gao Feng's command, be sure to obey the order, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!" ”

Zao only acted resolutely, and did not ask much, and immediately ran to the door to give orders.

Nan Ying summoned Gao Feng to his side, whispered in his ear for a while, and smiled: "But you understand?" ”

Gao Feng's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Please rest assured, sir!" ”

Nan Ying waved his hand and said, "You take 5 brothers, and then bring the subordinates of the county lieutenant, and act according to the plan!" ”

Zao Yi only saw Gao Feng going out, so he cautiously asked, "Mr. Nan, how should we act?" ”

Nanying said casually: "Oh! The case is about to be solved! Let's go and tell the county lord the good news! ”

Zao Yu said in disbelief: "Really!? ”

When he came to Wang Du's house again, Wang Du was still leaning on the couch in his clothes, but the pain was lighter.

Zao only preemptively said: "Lord County, great news!" Mr. Nan said that the truth of the case is about to be revealed! So we're here to tell you! ”

Wang Du was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Really? A few masters are really amazing! Tell me quickly, what is the case really about? ”

Nan Ying met his eyes and said calmly: "At present, there is only one thing that is unknown!" ”

Wang Du said happily: "Please show Mr. Nan!" ”

Nan Ying's eyes burst into essence, as if looking into the depths of Wang Du's eyes, and said lightly: "But I don't know when and where Lord Wang is going to transport the looted money and grain?" ”

Everyone was shocked and said, "What! ”

Wang Du was even more like a thunderbolt, and the blood on his face faded.

Zao only exclaimed, "Did I hear it wrong? Mr. Nan, you just pointed out that the county lord was the one who robbed money and grain? ”

Jia Xu and Cheng Yu are extremely smart people after all, and if they have an understanding, they show deep thought together.

Nan Ying didn't answer, just stared at Wang Du.

Wang Du took a breath and replied calmly: "Mr. Nan, you're not joking, are you?" Why are you so hasty to accuse me of being a robber! ”

Seeing that Nanying was silent, he couldn't help but feel a little more bold in his heart, and said: "My Mr. Jing is a master, and he has worked tirelessly for this case, so I am respectful!" Unexpectedly, Mr. said such a ridiculous thing! Today, Mr. will give me justice and give it to me, if not, hmph, this official has no choice but to convict you of framing the court officials! ”

Nan Ying smiled dumbly and said: "What a king, he is indeed a character!" Do you want justice? Good! In front of everyone, I will solve the suspense of this case one by one! ”

Wang Du snorted again, and everyone listened together.

"This case seems to be foggy and difficult to crack, but in fact, it is full of flaws and unreasonable things everywhere!"

"Before I entered the county treasury, I noticed that something was wrong. There are a total of 20 large boxes of money and 30,000 stone of grain that were robbed this time. Moreover, in the dead of night, a large number of people and horses are carried out, how can they be silent? ”

However, when I looked closely at the front of the county treasury, there was no trace left by a large number of carriages and horses transporting heavy goods last night, which can be concluded from the fact that the footprints of a large number of pedestrians had already covered the ruts of the horses that had transported money a few days earlier. At the same time, I ordered people to gallop out twenty miles away from the southeast, north, and west, and found no sign of the convoy passing, and I ordered people to visit the nearby residents, and not a single one heard a single movement last night! Do you think this is normal? ”

Wang Dumu was expressionless, but Zao Yi shouted in a low voice: "Not bad, not bad!" ”

Nan Ying smiled: "The anomaly outside the county treasury can be one of the suspicious points! And the suspicion in the county treasury is even more obvious! There are 8 guards in the county treasury, each performing their duties, guarding various places, and the gate of the courtyard has long been closed, may I ask, how did the thieves enter the courtyard? How could the guards not notice? ”

"Even if the thief is highly skilled and infiltrates silently, but to deal with the guards who are guarding everywhere, he can only attack secretly and break them individually, so that the guards will not find out and warn! Yes yes or no? ”

Everyone nodded in unison, Zao Yi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Not bad, not bad!" ”

According to the county lieutenant, the eight guards should be guarding the gate, the courtyard and the two reservoirs, but under my careful investigation, the bodies of the eight guards were all displayed in the courtyard, except for a pool of suspected blood stains in front of the corner house, there was no trace of blood or signs of fighting in front of the other doors, under the outline, and on the walkway. What caused the eight guards to gather in the courtyard and be killed again without warning in time? ”

"Also, I have checked the corpses of the guards, although the fatality is different, or on the forehead, or in the neck, or in the chest and abdomen, but from the wounds, it can be basically concluded that it was a weapon, or we can understand it this way, that is, the murderer is a person!"

Zao You's eyes flashed with horror, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Du, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Nan didn't mean that the murderer is only Wang Du!" ”

Wang Du said angrily: "Nonsense! What evidence do you have? ”

Nan Ying sneered: "Lord Wang, don't be angry, it's just that you suggested that the money and food be stored in one place, and it was robbed in a few days, and then 9 people guarded together, the other 8 people died, and only you survived, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" ”

Wang Duyi sneered: "According to what you said, I did it alone, so dare to ask Mr. Nan, how did I steal such a huge amount of money and food alone?" ”

Everyone had already been listed by Nanying as suspicious, and they were greatly convinced, and they were all stunned when they heard Wang Du's words, and the same question rose in their hearts.

Nanying said confidently: "Of course you still have accomplices!" But you're responsible for killing people, and they're only responsible for carrying money and food! ”

Wang Du couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed: "What a villain! You just said that there was no trace of carriages and horses in front of the county treasury, and there was no trace of money and grain transportation within twenty miles nearby, but now you said that I have an accomplice in charge of transporting it! Isn't that a contradiction! It's really insulting to me! ”

Nan Ying waited for his laughter to stop before he said indifferently: "When did I say that the money and grain were transported from the gate of the county treasury?" ”

Wang Du's laughter stopped, and his whole body shook violently.

When everyone was wondering why, they saw Gao Feng rushing in and shouting, "Sir! After we had enough excavation tools, we immediately broke ground, and sure enough, we found a tunnel under the grain depot, and after chasing for several miles, we found stolen money and grain in an abandoned house! ”

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, but Wang Du's face changed drastically.

Nan Ying said quietly: "Have you ever held the thief?" ”

Gao Feng said ashamedly: "When we opened the other end of the tunnel, we accidentally alarmed the thieves guarding it, except for killing more than ten thieves, the rest of the thieves have fled, and the subordinates of the county lieutenant are chasing!" ”

Nan Ying looked at Wang Du, and sure enough, when he saw that his face was relaxed, he ignored him, and said to himself: "After I found out the suspicion outside the gate, I already suspected in my heart that maybe these money and grain were not transported from the gate, so there is only one possibility, these money and grain were smuggled away from the county treasury at all, which also explains why the nearby residents didn't hear the sound, so I ......"

Cheng Yu sighed: "So you water the ground, and by observing the abnormality of the water traces, you can conclude that there must be a tunnel in the grain depot!" ”

Nan Ying cast an approving gaze, turned to Wang Du and said coldly, "What else do you have to say now?" ”

Wang Du rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Nan, you have found the money and food, and I, Wang Du, am very grateful." Why does Mr. Ran keep insisting that I am a thief, and now there is no evidence and no physical evidence, but there is no real evidence? It's all out of thin air, this tunnel may have been dug by the thieves themselves, I just don't notice, what does it have to do with me? ”

Nan Ying shook his head and said, "Wang Du, Wang Du, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" Good! I'll give you a proof! You said earlier, you heard the guards in the courtyard screaming, and then you just pushed open the door when someone was slashed and fainted on the ground, didn't you? ”

Wang Du had a bad feeling, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he stubbornly said: "Exactly! So what? ”

Nan Ying turned around and said: "Gao Feng, Zaoyi, the two of you listen to my arrangement, and use this room as the corner room to stage the case that Wang Du said again." Gao Feng pretends to be a murderer, and Zao Yi pretends to be Wang Du! ”

The two agreed.

Gao Feng walked outside the door, and Zao Yi closed the door from the inside.

Gao Feng shouted outside, "There are thieves! ”

Zao Yi just opened the door in a hurry, only to see a flash of the knife, Gao Feng had already slashed down, and it could be suddenly stopped a few minutes away from Zao Yu's shoulder.

Zao only screamed in his mouth and fell backwards.

Everyone in the room exclaimed, "How can this be! ”

After Zao Yi got up, he glanced inside and outside the door, his face also changed miserably, and he pointed at Wang Du and said, "It's really you!" ”

Wang Du still didn't know why, and said angrily: "What does it mean? ”

Jia Xu had been silent, and sneered at this time: "Don't you understand? In front of the door of the corner room at the scene of the crime, although there were blood stains in front of the door, it was a few steps outside the door.

According to the demonstration just now, you will be slashed as soon as you open the door, and you should have fallen inside the door. Why is there no blood in the corner room, but there is one outside the door? ”

Wang Du trembled, and only after a while did he smile and say, "Yes, I remembered it wrong!" Alas, how can I remember it well when I am seriously injured! Right, right! At that time, I was halfway out of the room before I was cut down! Then he fell out of the room! ”

When everyone saw that he blindly denied it, they all looked at each other angrily.

Nan Ying waved his hand to stop everyone and smiled, "I knew you would say that!" That's it! Let me show you the last piece of conclusive evidence! ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, it turned out that there was still evidence!

Nanying's smile suddenly disappeared, and a murderous intent appeared on his face, and he shouted in a low voice: "Do it!" ”

With a "choking" sound, Gao Gao'er on Nanying's side drew his sword out of the sheath without a sound, and the long sword was as fast as lightning, stabbing towards Wang Du, who was still lying on the couch.

Before everyone had time to exclaim, they only heard a crisp resonance of "ding".

I saw that Wang Du had turned over and jumped up from the couch, his face showed a fierce light, his eyes flashed with resentment and madness, and he looked at Nanying, and he didn't know when there was a pair of iron rods in his hands, and he opened the powerful sword of Gao Gao'er, where is there still half a serious injury and difficult to get up?

Everyone was stunned, who would have thought that Wang Du's acting skills were so good, and he pretended to be dying, almost deceiving everyone's eyes.

Wang Duwei smiled: "What a Mr. Nan!" How did you tell if my injuries were fake? ”

Nan Ying snorted and said, "It's just that you are stupid!" As soon as I entered the room, I already noticed that something was wrong. You obviously suffered a knife wound, but among the thick herbs in the room, I actually smelled a few medicines to treat wind and cold! Isn't this a fraud? ”

Wang Du was shocked and said, "You are really good!" Then how did you come up with the idea of tempting me with a surprise attack? You're not afraid that I'll die in vain! As soon as I die, won't there be no clue to this case again? ”

Nan Ying laughed and said: "You can kill 8 people on the spot with the power of one person, although it is a sneak attack that is caught off guard, and it is a bit opportunistic, but it also shows that your skills are extraordinary!" How can such a person not secretly guard against his conspiracy before it is about to be revealed? You're not going to die that easily! ”

Wang Du said dejectedly: "You are terrible! I'm unlucky to meet you! ”

Nan Ying sneered: "Since you know how powerful I am, don't just catch it!" Qing'er! High wind! Take this thief down for me! As he spoke, he pulled Jia Xu and Cheng Yu behind him and retreated to a corner of the room. This king is good, don't hurt these two wizards in the melee, that is a hatred for eternity!

Gao Feng and Gao Gao'er swords came out together and attacked Wang Du.

Wang Du's pupils contracted, a low roar came out of his throat, and the iron rods in his hands turned into strips of black light, only to hear the sound of the blades clashing endlessly, and they actually blocked all the attacks of the two.

Gao Feng and Gao Gao'er obviously practiced the technique of combined attacks, and a round of attacks was fruitless, so they immediately went up and down, and the move was like a poisonous snake returning to the hole, taking the place where Wang Du was difficult to defend.

Wang Du suddenly felt that it was difficult to parry, left and right, and after a few moves, he finally stabbed Gao Gao'er in the shoulder with a soft sound.

With a roar, he threw the iron rod in his left hand out of his hand, and went straight to the door of Gao Feng's face, and Gao Feng turned over and flashed.

As soon as Wang Du's iron rod made a move, he immediately reached out empty-handed, and shouted to Gao Gao'er's hand: "Look at the flying knife!" ”

Gao Gao'er was frightened, and rose up, but where was there any flying knife, and he knew that he was fooled.

Wang Du laughed, broke out of the encirclement of the two, and swept towards the door.

Seeing that there was still a person standing at the door, it was Zaoyi, and when he saw Wang Du flying over, a blank and complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Wang Du was secretly happy in his heart, he really hated Zao Yi in his heart, if he hadn't attracted Nanying and others, how could he have failed, thinking hard in vain, the organs were exhausted, if it was successful, at most he would only get a crime of unfavorable guarding, but after the fact, he could get a huge amount of money and food! Unexpectedly, today's money and food are lost, and his identity is exposed! How this does not teach him great hatred in his heart! Now the only way to do this is to kill Zaoyi first, relieve the hatred in your heart first, and then seize the door and flee in order to start again!

A sinister smile flashed on Wang Du's face, and in the midst of the loud shouting, the iron rod in his right hand had already smashed down on Zaoyi's head.

With Nan Ying's calmness, his complexion changed drastically, and he blurted out: "It's not good! After half a day of getting along, he really felt that he admired Zaoyi and never forgot the mind of the people, but at this moment, he saw that Zaoyi was about to die under the stick, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't save it at all.

He closed his eyes, he couldn't bear to see Zao You's tragic death, but he had already sworn a poisonous oath in his heart that he would cut Wang Du with a thousand knives and avenge Zao You.

I heard everyone shout in unison, and the shouts were full of surprise.

Nanying was surprised, opened his eyes, and opened his mouth in disbelief.

I saw Zao Yi pull out his sword, and the sword light was like Bai Lian sweeping, unstoppable, and he blocked Wang Du in the door without giving an inch.

Nanying said in ecstasy: "Gao Feng, Qing'er, surround him to death for me!" Live or die! ”

Wang Du's horror in his heart had reached its peak, he originally thought that Zao Yi was just a literati, even if he practiced martial arts for a few days, it was extremely limited, but he didn't expect to know today that Zao Yi's ability was especially above himself, but it was never revealed on weekdays.

At this time, listening to Nanying's words, I couldn't help but have a series of complaints in my heart, and the stick law immediately scattered.

Zao only saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the sword light flashed continuously, and with a "snort", he broke the placket on Wang Du's chest, and it was a slight difference, almost disemboweling Wang Du's stomach.

Wang Du was shocked into a cold sweat and jumped away, but when he heard a "bang", a token slipped from the torn placket of his clothes and fell to the ground.

Nan Ying caught a glimpse of the token, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop first!" ”

At this time, Wang Du had been pointed at by the swords of the three people and was forced to another corner of the room.

When the three of them heard this, they immediately stopped, but they didn't dare to take it lightly, and still pointed their weapons at Wang Du's vital point and closely monitored them.

Nan Ying leaned over to pick up the token, his eyelids couldn't stop jumping a few times, and sighed: "The three of you will take him a good look!" All but the two gentlemen withdrew! ”

After there were only seven people left in the room, Nan Ying looked at Wang Du, whose face was like ashes, and said coldly: "Huang Mu Ling! You turned out to be a Taiping Dao Qu Shuai! ”

He had used Yang Kun's Huangmu Order as bait before to lure Heavenly Master Dao Zheng Du into being fooled, so he was naturally very familiar with it.

Everyone's hearts were shocked, could it be that this robbery was actually directed by Taiping Dao behind the scenes?

Wang Du lost his voice and said, "Who are you?" I actually know Huang Mu Ling! ”

Nan Ying smiled bitterly in his heart, in the past few days, he has been asked the same sentence several times.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "Let's go!" Please ask the great sage and good teacher, how good is his old man! He owes me a favor this time! "Throw the yellow wood back to him.

Zao Yu was shocked: "How can this be made! ”

Wang Du couldn't believe it: "You actually know a great sage and good teacher? ”

Nanying smiled incomprehensibly and said, "You don't have to ask! But please be a good teacher on behalf of Chen Daxian! Please be considerate of the people's suffering, and let go of the county's money and grain! ”

Wang Du escaped death, how dare he make another incident, he agreed in a row, and quickly went out.

Zao Yi was still unwilling, and almost stopped Wang Du, but when he saw Nanying's cold gaze, he had to let go of the door.

Nanying turned around and said sharply to Zao, "You remember!" That's all for today! You can report the corpses of the thieves who were killed to the officials, and only say that there were thieves robbing them during the transportation, and you killed them, and the money and food were safe and sound! Ran County Cheng Wang Du, fighting a group of thieves, seriously injured, unfortunately captured by the thieves, another 8 servants died in the line of duty, please Shangfeng to praise together, and quickly send officers and soldiers to rescue Wang Du! ”

Jia Xu and Cheng Yu looked at each other with a look of wonder when they heard this, and their appreciation was beyond words.

Zao only roared angrily: "Why! He killed 8 brothers! Committed another court felony! We could have captured him just now, and we could have killed him on the spot! Did he let him go just because he was a member of the Taiping Dao! ”

Nanying sighed and stopped talking.

Cheng Yu shook Nan Ying and said, "Yu is really eye-opening today!" The lord not only came up with wits and clever solutions. He is also kind-hearted and far-sighted to save the people of a county! The actual order is cast in the lower five bodies, and from now on I am willing to follow with my heart and worry about the Lord! ”

Jia Xu also smiled and nodded frequently.

Nan Ying's body trembled lightly and said, "It's still Zhongde and Wen He who know me!" ”

Zao only looked shocked and said, "What? Mr. Cheng, Mr. Nan is actually your father-in-law! ”

Then he was puzzled: "What does Mr. Cheng mean when he said that Mr. Nan saved the people of a county?" ”

Cheng Yu sighed lightly: "Brother Xian, you are so nonsense! You're wrong about my father-in-law! Virtuous brother, please think about it, Taiping Dao has hundreds of thousands of sect members, and he has long been plotting against him, and today's robbery of grain and money must be for the purpose of raising troops in the near future! We've got the money back, and it's okay to kill a dozen of his thieves! But this king is the commander of the thirty-six squares, what kind of identity? If you kill him, not to mention how Taiping Dao retaliates now, once the army rises in the future, I am afraid that this Dong'e County will be bloody! My lord is gone, but what will happen to the people? So my lord had to let him live, so that Taiping Dao would be grateful for this situation and spare the innocent people! ”

Zao was stunned, cold sweat had already fallen on his forehead, and he said after a while: "Then we should also report this matter to the court and take precautions as soon as possible!" ”

Jia Xu interjected: "Is it true that your Dao court knows nothing about the ambitions of Taiping Dao? Pull a hair and move the whole body, the court is afraid of the Taiping Dao, and it doesn't dare to move! Only pretending not to know on the surface, secretly actively preparing to deal with the future turmoil in the world! If you really report it, I'm afraid that the world will be in chaos immediately! Lord County Lieutenant, you really misunderstood my lord's hard work! ”

Zao Yi's eyes slipped down with tears, and he knelt down in front of Nanying with a "bang", and said sadly: "Sir......"

A day later, Nanying and others met Zhang Xian and others, and embarked on the return journey together, although he was difficult to get out of the mountain once, but in order to return to the mountain as soon as possible to start the feat of building the city, he had to race against time, and he had no choice but to give up his own way of seeking talent. However, this time I went out of the mountain, not only got Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, the two wonders of the world, but also got Zhang Xian, the crossbow master, which can be said to be full of returns.

Cheng Yu looked back at Dong'e County, which was gradually moving away, and couldn't help but say: "Lord, if you want to achieve great things, you must recruit talents from all over the world. I see that he has great respect for you, and we will definitely get along! ”

Nan Ying said casually: "Zhongde! You need to know that 'when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses', I have already received the help of you two strange people, is there anything not satisfied?

Although the jujube is only a talent, I prefer to wait until the day when it comes to fruition, and he takes the initiative to vote! I always feel that as long as there is fate, there will be a day when we meet, maybe in the future, or today, so why force it! ”

Cheng Yu looked at Nan Ying in a daze, and said: "Lord, lord, do you know that I have always been arrogant and arrogant, and there are few people who admire me, but I have only followed the lord for two days, and I have already been born with a shameful heart!" How will I live in the future? He sighed again and again.

Nan Ying smiled, and just wanted to make a few jokes, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and one person shouted: "Sir! Mr! ”

Everyone turned around together and saw Zaoyi galloping on horseback.

Cheng Yu gasped and said, "Lord, you are an immortal!" It was fulfilled so quickly! ”

Sure enough, when he saw Zao Yi running in front of him, he immediately dismounted and bowed to the ground: "Mr. Nan, if you don't give up, please take Zao Yi and leave together!" ”

Nan Ying hurriedly helped him up and said: "Brother, you are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, you have been a county lieutenant at a young age, and your future is limitless, why do you have to suffer with me!" ”

Zao Yi said with a firm expression: "Mr. is peerless, such a strange case, it has been solved in half a day, not only does it deserve the reputation of his amazing skills, but what makes Zao You admire is Mr.'s benevolence to the people of Limin." I have made up my mind to follow Mr. all my life, let me be driven, as long as I am taught sooner or later, I am willing to die! ”

Nanying couldn't help laughing out loud, with infinite joy, as soon as he grasped the hand of Zaoyi, he said word by word: "Good brother!" From now on, let's live and die together! ”
