Nan Ying, Jia Xu and the others were talking and walking, and suddenly they heard a few extremely low and thin piano sounds, and everyone listened attentively.

The sound of the piano is gradually loud, as the player is gradually approaching, the sound of the piano is clear, sometimes high and sometimes low, flickering and flickering, and then suddenly turning high-pitched and agitated, it seems that people are on the top of the high mountain, and the spirit is flying, but after a few circles, it is low again, but each syllable is still clearly audible, such as a pearl sprinkled on a jade plate, crisp and short, and constantly playing.

When everyone was listening to the intoxication, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped abruptly, and then they realized that they had unconsciously followed the sound of the piano and slowly came to a grass hut.

I heard someone in the room whisper: "How can I suddenly lose control of the high-pitched sound in the melody?" Could it be that there are high-ranking people eavesdropping outside the door? ”

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Good for you, Cheng Li!" What a terrible thing to say! Who's going to eavesdrop? There are no masters, but there are many laymen! Do you see it or not? ”

The door panel opened with a "squeak", and a thin man in his thirties walked out of the door, and said with an indifferent smile: "It turned out to be Jia Wen and the condescending humble house!" I don't know who these are? ”

Nanying saw that the grass house was small, and whispered to Gao Feng and Gao Gao'er to lead people to wait outside, and said to Cheng Li: "Nanying, a person from the mountains and wilderness, Wen is the name of Mr. Daxian, and I come to greet you!" ”

Cheng Li smiled dumbly and said: "I'm just a rough mountain man, how dare I be the name of a great sage?" It must be a text and a fallacy! It's a guest from afar, please serve tea in the house! ”

Nan Ying and Jia Xu entered the room, and saw that the room was simple, with only a few household belongings, a wooden table with a guqin, and the three of them sat on the ground together.

Cheng Li smiled and said: "The humble house is too simple, and it is a loss of hospitality, so please ask the two of you to be elegant and Haihan." As he spoke, he poured tea into the clay bowl in front of the three of them.

Nanying had the heart to show off a few words in front of this person, and said casually: "Mr. is too humble!" Don't you hear that the mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and the dragon is spiritual! Although this is a bad room, it will only make you feel the noble character of the master! ”

Jia and Cheng were moved together.

Cheng Li looked at Nan Ying in surprise for a long time before he said, "Although Young Brother Nan is still young, he is actually a good sentence!" In addition, such a compliment really made Cheng Li feel both ashamed and ashamed! ”

Jia Xu also came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Zhongde! You only know that Brother Nan is brilliant, but you don't know that he is proficient in martial arts, and his knowledge is even more ancient and modern! ”

Cheng Li was shocked, he knew Jia Xu's talent very well, and even he said so, could it be that this young man was a generation of geniuses?

didn't know that Nan Ying was so surprised just now that he almost jumped up, just because Jia Xu called the word "Zhongde", Cheng Li was really Cheng Yu, and he was a virtuous minister and strategist who was famous in the Three Kingdoms with his wisdom!

Nan Ying's heart shook wildly, but his face was still calm and calm.

Cheng Li saw that Nanying heard Jia Xu's praise, and he accepted it unceremoniously, and his heart was even more surprised.

He was silent for a while before he said, "The two masters came here today! Lizheng has something unclear, and he can't understand it, so he can use the wisdom of the two to help Lili solve the puzzle! ”

Nan Ying and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, good guys, they are going to test us!

Cheng Li said slowly: "Li suddenly had a dream last night, dreaming that he was standing on Mount Tai and holding up a red sun with both hands!" After that, I suddenly woke up from a dream, and I still don't know why, may you both teach me! ”

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, revealing a thoughtful look.

Nanying almost laughed wildly, almost lost his temper, and in a panic, he hurriedly secretly twisted his thigh with his hand, and only then could he endure the pain. It's just that he finally remembered that he had also read the history of Cheng Li's dream and renamed Cheng Yu in the history books, and "Dragon" even expressed some opinions on it. Nanying has a particularly fresh memory of these, but he forgot that Cheng Yu's original name was Cheng Li, so he never got the right number.

Cheng Li saw Nan Ying's face twitching, and said strangely: "What does Young Brother Nan think about this?" ”

Nan Ying stood up and said casually: "Congratulations, sir! Congratulations to Mr. Hi! ”

Jia and Cheng were stunned, and asked in unison, "Where does the joy come from?" ”

Nanying put his hands behind him, his eyes revealed a deep and wise look, and he said angrily: "Mount Tai, tall and majestic, known as the reputation of the first mountain in the world, Confucius left the admiration of 'climbing Mount Tai and the small world'!" In the past dynasties, the first emperor of the previous dynasty, Emperor Wu of this dynasty and Emperor Guangwu have all gone to Mount Tai to seal Zen. In fact, Mount Tai has become the end of a great cause of the founding of a generation. The sun, the sun also, the ancient ancestors once respected Emperor Yan as the sun god. Mr. dreams of holding the sun in Mount Tai, but I am afraid that it symbolizes that Mr. is about to meet the master of the ages and jointly create an immortal cause! ”

"Choking" The pottery bowl fell to the ground, Cheng Li's hands trembled, and he looked at Nan Ying in disbelief, Jia Xu was also stunned, as if he didn't know Nan Ying, he looked at him intently.

Nan Ying saw that the casual words actually shocked the two strange people in the world, and he was extremely proud in his heart, and hit the railway while it was hot: "This is the day will descend on Mr. Yu!" In my humble opinion, since Mr. Mengtai is holding the sun, he can give up his original name Cheng Li and change his name to Cheng Yu! At this time, it is a good time for Mr. to take on a new look, go out of the mountains, and show his ambitions! ”

Cheng Lichang took a breath and said, "Dare to ask Mr. Nan!" Who are you? ”

At this time, he was shocked by Nanying's shocking words, and he didn't dare to call him Young Brother Nan again.

Jia Xu's deep voice came: "Don't hide it from Zhongde, I asked the same question just a few days ago!" And now, he is already the lord of Jia! ”

Cheng Li lost his voice and said, "What? Has Wenhe recognized Mr. Nan as the Lord? ”

Jia Xu said lightly: "Not bad! Jia Xu is not talented, but he is fortunate to meet such a master! Although my lord is still fledgling, his foundation is not solid, and he is weak in his age, his talent and virtue have made me throw myself into the body. This time I took the liberty to come here, it was to invite Zhongde to go out of the mountain to assist and jointly protect the Han family and benefit the people of the world! ”

Cheng Li sat silent, a look of struggle and hesitation flashed on his face, and he said after a while: "I am deeply impressed by Mr. Nan's talent, but I have lived in the mountains for a long time, and I am used to being lazy, and I have just met Mr. Nan......"

Jia Xu Huoran got up and shouted: "Cheng Zhongde, you dare to go against the will of heaven? ”

Cheng Li said in a panic: "What does Wen He mean by this? ”

Jia Xu sighed: "Good you Cheng Zhongde! Still don't get it? You just dreamed of Mount Tai holding the sun yesterday, and today my father-in-law will come to visit, but also face to face to explain doubts, pointing out a bright future for you. Do you really have such a coincidence in the world? Isn't this the providence of God to let you assist my lord! ”

Cheng Li was shocked, got up and bowed: "Wen He's words are like a slap in the face, Daigo empowerment, Zhongde understands!" From today on, my name will be Cheng Yu, and I hope that the lord will not give up and take him in! ”

Nan Ying laughed loudly, pulled Cheng Yu up and said, "With Zhongde and Wen Ruo together, what else can I not do in the world?" ”

In his heart, he secretly called it a fluke, if there was no Jia Xu to knock on the side and fan the flames, I am afraid that this Cheng Yu would never easily meet without knowing his details.

Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, followed by Gao Feng's deep voice: "What people! Stop! ”

One of them was stunned and said, "Who are you?" A certain is the county lieutenant of Dong'e County! I have something urgent to see Mr. Cheng! ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Lord, this is a little friend of mine!" Very talented, would you like to see it? ”

Nanying hurriedly agreed, followed by a hand to stroke his forehead, and fell into hard thought, jujube, jujube, such a familiar name! It should also be a historical celebrity, but I can't remember it for a while! I can't help but be frustrated, if I can remember more historical materials, it will be appropriate for people for a while, and I will show off again, maybe I can fool a talent again!

A young man about twenty years old walked in quickly, but his handsome face was tightly frowned, Cheng Yu only introduced Nan and Jia to him as his friends, but he did not understand the details.

After Zao Yi hurriedly greeted the two, he didn't care about being polite, and said anxiously: "Mr. Cheng, you must help me this time!" Otherwise, my life is small, and the people will suffer in vain! ”

The three of them were taken aback, Cheng Yu couldn't help but look at Nanying, after all, he was already his lord at this time, seeing him smile and nod, he waved his hand and said, "Brother Xian, don't worry, take your time!" ”

Zao only barely calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "There was a shocking case in Dong'e County last night, and the money and grain that were to be transported to the county government were taxed, a total of five million yuan, and 30,000 stone treasury grains were all stolen overnight, and the county Cheng Wangdu, who was responsible for guarding the county treasury, was seriously injured, and none of the other eight guards were spared!" ”

Jia and Cheng Ju were so shocked by the news that they couldn't speak.

Cheng Yu smiled bitterly for a while: "How can I help you?" You and I have been friends for a few years, when have you heard that I will decide the case? ”

Zao Yi said in a hurry: "But Mr. is a pedantic man, maybe he can help me clear the clouds and see the sun and solve this mystery!" ”

Nan Ying's heart moved when he heard this, he hadn't tried to solve the case, but when it came to tracking, collecting evidence, and analyzing, it was a regular course in special training, and it should be not much different from solving the case.

With a dry cough, Nan Ying calmly got up and said, "Lord County Lieutenant!" Please take us to the scene of the crime and have a look! ”

Zao Yi looked at Cheng Yu in a daze and said, "Mr. Cheng, this Mr. Nan?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and continued: "Lord County Lieutenant, you don't know that Mr. Nan is out of the horse, but he is far better than Mr. Cheng!" ”

Cheng Yu is actually even more curious, could it be that this newly recognized lord still has the ability to judge the case? At the moment, he smiled and said, "Exactly!" If Mr. Nan is willing to help, how can he be ten times better than me? ”

Zao Yu has always respected Cheng Yu, and when he heard him confirm it in person at this moment, he couldn't help but be ecstatic: "God has eyes!" So it annoys Mr. Raunan! ”

Zao Yi rushed to open the shiny copper nail door in front of him, turned around and said to Nan Ying: "Mr. Nan, please look, this is the county treasury where the crime happened last night!" ”

Nanying didn't rush in, but squatted on the loess street outside the library gate, and looked at it for a long time, and then Shi Shiran walked into the door.

The vermilion lacquered corridor fence, reflecting the snow-white walls of the warehouse, is already very dazzling, but the bluestone-paved courtyard in the middle is sprinkled with the blood of the big beach, which is even more shocking.

Zao Yi said gloomily: "This is where the guards are killed!" ”

Nanying didn't speak, came to the small warehouse on the left, and took a closer look at the padlock on the door, only to see that there were obvious marks of heavy hammering on the lock, and the lock was broken.

There was nothing in the warehouse, and Zao Yi said beside him: "This is where the five million coins are stored, and the twenty large wooden boxes used to store the money are gone!" The big warehouse on the right is for storing 30,000 stone of grain! ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long breath and said with difficulty: "The situation is the same as here, the door lock is also destroyed, and all the food is lost!" ”

Nan Yingqi said: "How can you keep money and food in one place? ”

Zao Yi shook his head and said: "Usually, this is just a warehouse dedicated to putting grain, but after a few days, the money and grain will be transported to the county government together, so for the sake of safety, the county Cheng Wangdu recommends that the money and grain be put in one place for the time being, and concentrate manpower to take care of it!" ”

Nan Ying said with a sigh: "It's the injured county man, right?" ”

"Exactly!"

A few people talked as they walked, and when they came to the door of a corner house around the corner, they saw that there was also a pool of blood a few steps in front of the door.

Nanying asked, "What is this place?" ”

Zao only replied: "This place is usually used as a room for officials on duty, and the bloodstains in front of the door are left after the county lord was injured last night!" ”

Nanying asked again, "Do the other guards have rooms too?" ”

Zao Yi shook his head and said: "Ordinary guards are not allowed to rest when they are on duty, eight guards, two people in the door, four people in the courtyard, one person in front of the money depot and one person in front of the grain depot, all keep vigil all night!" ”

Nanying narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a while, and said, "Go!" Lead me to meet this county lord, he is the only living witness right now! ”

Gao Feng secretly pulled Nanying's sleeve and whispered, "Sir, are you really good at solving the case?"

Nan Ying's eyes widened, and he said in a low voice: "You kid take a look!" I've taught you all these skills, so you have to use them flexibly! What a fool!" Ignoring Gao Feng, who had a demented face, he went straight away.

A strong and pungent smell of herbs permeated the room, and a haggard man reclined on the couch with his eyes closed, his half-open placket wrapped in white cloth, blood stains were faintly visible, and a slight painful moan came out of his mouth, and he could hear the human voice, and his eyes were half-open.

Zao Yi said with concern: "Lord Wang, how is the injury?" ”

Wang Duqiang smiled: "It's okay! I was stabbed in the shoulder! But life is not hindered! Who are these people? ”

Zao Yi hurriedly introduced: "These are Mr. Cheng Li, Mr. Nan and Mr. Jia!" I was specially invited to solve the case! ”

Wang Du's godless eyes flashed with a light, and he tried to support his body, but Zao Yu hurriedly held it down and said, "Lord Wang, you are injured, don't move!" ”

Wang Du had no choice but to bow his head and signal: "I have heard Mr. Cheng Li's name for a long time, this time I neglected my duties, and I was taken advantage of by traitors, but I tired several gentlemen to run around, and my sin is also!" ”

The three of them bowed their hands together.

Wang Du turned to Zao You and said: "Brother Xian, as a county lieutenant, you serve as the post of public security in a county, and the sins of the foolish brother are all remedied by the virtuous brother, and I hope that the virtuous brother will work hard!" ”

Zao Yi said resolutely: "Brother, don't worry, Hugh said that this is my business, in order to exonerate my brother from responsibility, and also for the people of the county not to pay a second time, I must also solve the case!" ”

Nan Ying interjected: "Although we shouldn't disturb the county lord's recuperation, but now only the adult survives, so we have to take the liberty of delaying the adult's time and asking a few questions, which is very important to solve the case!" ”

Wang Du nodded and said, "I understand this, just ask!" ”

Nanying thought for a while and said, "Dare to ask my lord, when did the money and grain go into storage?" ”

"The grain was put into storage after the autumn harvest, and it has been several months now, but the money was collected from the towns and villages a few days ago, and it was not long after it was put into storage. Just because the end of the year is approaching, the money and grain need to be transported to the county government in time, and the lower officials will never dare to postpone it! ”

"How many people know about the money and grain in the warehouse?"

"Well, there are too many people who know, me and the county lieutenant, dozens of escort soldiers, and the third-class guards of the county treasury, all know about it!"

"Did Lord Xiancheng suggest that the money and grain be stored in a centralized manner?"

"Exactly! Xia Guan originally thought that in a few days he would be able to transport the money and grain away, but it was not peaceful at the moment, and there were endless troubles all over the country. It was suggested that the centralized manpower should be guarded, but unexpectedly, people are not as good as the sky, and the most worrying thing still happened! ”

"In other words, a few days after the money and grain were put into storage, the case happened?"

"Exactly!"

"Then please tell me more about what happened last night!"

"Last night, about ugly time, I was still counting the money and food accounts in the corner room, and suddenly I heard the guards in the courtyard shouting, followed by the sound of weapons fighting, I was shocked, and quickly got up to check, unexpectedly, just opened the door, a sharp knife slashed at the head, hit my shoulder and neck, I was in severe pain, fainted on the spot! Before fainting, I vaguely saw that the guards in the courtyard were fighting with some black-clothed masked people! I don't know anything else! When I woke up, all my brothers had been killed, the doors of the two warehouses were wide open, and the money and food were gone! I struggled to crawl out the door and call for help. Alas! What a good thing that is! ”

"According to my guess, who will these men in black be?"

"Alas! It's hard to say! But in my opinion, I'm afraid it's either the bandits in the vicinity, or the bandits from other states and counties! ”

Nanying asked at this point, and sighed: "My lord has suffered! Good! I've already finished asking, adults are recuperating, and we'll visit you later! ”

Nanying walked out of Wang Du's house and said in a deep voice: "Go!" Take me to see the bodies of the guards again! ”

Nanying slowly put down the white cloth in his hand, recovering the face of the sacrificial guard, exhaled a long breath, and walked out of the mortuary.

He summoned Gao Feng, Gao Gao'er and the other brothers and whispered orders for a long time.

Everyone nodded and galloped away with their horses.

Nan Ying turned his head to Zao Yi and asked, "Lord County Lieutenant, I have something to inquire about!" ”

Zao Yi hurriedly said: "Sir, please instruct!" ”

Nan Ying raised his head to the sky and said leisurely: "If this case is not solved, what will happen?" ”

Zao Yu was shocked: "Sir, what did you say?" Is this case unsolvable? ”

Nanying laughed and said, "Don't get me wrong! I'm just asking what the outcome of this case will be if it is not solved, for example, what kind of punishment will you and the county lord receive, and how will the money and food that should be transported to the county government be replenished. ”

Zao You's heart was a little relieved, and he said miserably: "The crime of dereliction of duty with me and the county lord is inevitable, although the county lord is primarily responsible, but because of the injury of protecting money and food, he can be lightly discharged, and I am secondarily responsible, and he will be removed from his official position according to the law, which is nothing, the saddest thing is that paying taxes is a major military matter, and he will never stop because of this, and he will be given to the people again, and the life of the people will be even more miserable!" ”

Nanying actually showed a smile on his face, and there was no more follow-up.

Zao only waited for a while, but still didn't see Nan Ying speak, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, and said quickly: "Mr. Nan, I will issue a notice, and at the same time, I will have a servant to arrest the thief, right?" ”

Nanying looked strange and said, "Detained? How to detain it? ”

Zao Yi was puzzled: "Of course, it is widely distributed to the four towns and eight pavilions, and the suspicious people are probed everywhere, and then they are investigated one by one!" ”

Nanying "bah" and said: "Then you can check next year!" ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Nan doesn't have to play with him anymore!" I watched what Mr. did, but I am afraid that the case is a bit of an eyebrow! ”

Nan Ying laughed and said, "Zhong De still knows my mind!" However, it is not a bit of an eyebrow! ”

Jia Xu was surprised: "What do you mean by this? ”

Nan Ying showed a strange smile and said, "If you're lucky, when Ah Feng and the others come back, the case should be solved!" ”

The three of them lost their voices in unison: "What did you say! ”

Nanying ignored them and muttered to himself, "En! Hungry! Let's find a place to eat first! "Lift your legs and go!

After walking a few steps, I didn't see Jia, Cheng, and Zao following, and when I looked back, I saw that the three of them were still standing still like fools.

couldn't help but call: "What are you doing in a daze?" Let's go! The county lieutenant is the head snake of the land, and he will do his best to be a landlord! ”

The three of them looked at each other, and they all had a sense of unfathomability, and hurriedly followed.
