"Master Hou!" Early in the morning, when Xuan Shijing was still lying on the bed and covering himself in the quilt, he heard Xiao Ji shouting outside the room.

Reluctantly opened his eyes and rubbed his sleepy eyes: "What's the matter?" Come in and say. ”

"Bang", the door was pushed open, Xiao Ji rushed into Xuan Shijing's room, and when he saw that Xuan Shijing had not gotten up to freshen up, his face flashed with embarrassment, and then his expression returned to normal, and said: "Master Hou, there is a letter from Gao Jun over there in Dengzhou." ”

"Oh? Take it for me to see. When Xuan Shijing heard that it was Dengzhou Gaojun's matter, he instantly sobered up.

"Whoa." Xiao Ji walked to the bed, handed the letter to Xuan Shijing, and said, "Master Hou, take your time, the slave maid will go and prepare washing utensils for you first." With that, he turned and ran out of the room.

"Xiao Ji! Door! Xuan Shijing shouted at Xiao Ji's back, but at this time, Xiao Ji had already run away, where could he hear Xuan Shijing's voice.

Xuan Shijing wrapped himself in the quilt, stepped on his shoes and got down, and closed the open door again

When he returned to bed, he opened the letter that Gao Jun sent back, which had been delayed on the road for three or four days, and Gao Jun should also leave Dengzhou at this time.

At this time in Xiangzhou, Li Yuanjing had a small courtyard in Xiangzhou City, which was originally used as a place to transport things between Chang'an City and his fiefdom.

Originally, these boxes would be transported to Jingzhou after Li Yuanjing had inspected them with his own eyes today, and after Li Yuanjing arrived in Xiangzhou in the morning, he went straight to the other courtyard to come and see this batch of money, but as soon as the box was opened, it was full of earth and stones!

"What the hell is going on!" Li Yuanjingtie's face was blue, his fingers trembled a little, and he pointed to the box in the courtyard and said, "What about the money?" ”

The steward who was standing in front of Li Yuanjing and was responsible for transporting this batch of money knelt in front of Li Yuanjing with a plop: "Lord Wang, the villain doesn't know, since it was transported here from Chang'an, it has been sealed in the treasury and has never been moved." ”

"Haven't moved? Haven't you touched all the good money in it turned into earth and stone? When this king is a fool, can't you?! Li Yuanjing pointed at the steward and shouted: "Don't go and check for this king soon!" As he spoke, he kicked the steward in the shoulder.

"Yes, yes!" The steward got up and led the two men into the storeroom.

The courtyard was guarded day and night, and it was impossible to quietly get so much money out of their noses, unless the problem was in the treasury.

"What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and find the history of Xiangzhou's assassination to this king! Li Yuanjing pointed to the people standing in the courtyard and shouted.

Li Yuanjing was so furious, where did everyone dare to continue to stand in the courtyard, and they left the courtyard one after another and scattered.

Li Yuanjing shook the sleeves of his robe, and he was still puzzled in his heart while being angry, from Chang'an City to Xiangzhou, but things were lost in his courtyard, who had such courage to dare to touch King Jing's things, in addition to these, Li Yuanjing still had some worries in his heart, this batch of money was a batch of money that would distribute dividends to the people under Jingzhou at the end of the year, especially the group of people under his hands, if he didn't have this money, where would he move so much money to plug this hole in a while.

"Lord Wang!" The steward walked out of the storeroom, bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, I found it." ”

"What?" Li Yuanjing asked with a gloomy face.

"Someone in the storeroom has been beaten," said the steward tremblingly.

"What? Tunnel? What do you guys eat? 300,000 pieces of money were put in the treasury, and someone dug a tunnel to steal beams and pillars, and you didn't even know at all?! Li Yuanjing pointed to the steward's nose and scolded: "Follow the vine and touch the melon, find it for this king!" ”

"Lord Wang, that tunnel has already been filled," the steward said weakly.

"Check, ask around in this courtyard, it is impossible to say that the 300,000 copper coins are gone, there will always be traces to follow!" Li Yuanjing said: "Also, find someone to come over and dig it back for this king along the tunnel in the treasury to see where it leads." ”

"Yes." When the steward answered, he commanded his men to go.

After a while, the history of Xiangzhou City also arrived in the other courtyard.

"The lower officials pay a visit to His Royal Highness King Jing."

"Lord Thorn Shi doesn't need to be polite." Li Yuanjing helped Xiangzhou Thorn Shi up, and then said: "Lord Thorn Shi, the people in this king's mansion transported a batch of money and goods from Chang'an to Xiangzhou, and they were originally intended to be transported to the king's fiefdom, but they were stolen in Xiangzhou. Li Yuanjing pointed to the boxes full of earth and stones in the courtyard: "Originally, these boxes were full of money and goods, but now they have all become earth and stones, and the tunnel dug by the thieves has been found in the warehouse, and the king is also sending someone to open the tunnel, and the king hopes that Lord Shi can help the king solve the case." ”

Xiangzhou Assassin Shi arched his hand and said: "Since this case happened in Xiangzhou City, it is the responsibility of the lower officials, His Royal Highness King Jing can rest assured, the lower officials will go all out to arrest the thief." ”

Li Yuanjing nodded, and said: "Please give an order from Lord Assassin Shi to immediately block Xiangzhou City, this batch of money and goods of the rich merchants of this king is quite large, if it is transported out of the city, it will definitely be a lot of movement, and the Lord can send soldiers to strictly check the various caravans entering and leaving the city." ”

Hearing this, Xiangzhou Thorn Shi sighed in his heart, I am afraid that this is another big move, but because of Li Yuanjing's power, he can only respond.

"Your Royal Highness, now that the New Year is approaching, although Xiangzhou is not a big place, it is rich in mountain delicacies and game, and those who come to Xiangzhou from other places to purchase New Year's gifts, if you continue to investigate it like this," Xiangzhou Thorn Shi wanted to speak and stopped.

"Lord Assassin Shi, this king's things have been lost in your Xiangzhou City, this is under your rule, if this king reports this matter to Chang'an, then Lord Assassin Shi's political achievements this year" Li Yuanjing glanced at Xiangzhou Assassin Shi: "In any case, with a limit of ten days, this king will go to Chang'an first, and in Chang'an, wait for the news of Lord Assassin Shi." ”

"Yes, the lower officials will do their best to investigate." The assassin history of Xiangzhou can only be helplessly responded, people are nobles, he is just a thorn history, Li Yuanjing is the most favored prince of the emperor, offended him, his career may really stop at this Xiangzhou city.

The steward found someone and began to dig tunnels along the loose soil in the warehouse with tools, and Li Yuanjing walked into the warehouse with Xiangzhou Thorn History.

"Has anyone outside seen anything unusual in the past two days? For example, unfamiliar faces move around this annex or something. Li Yuanjing asked.

"This subordinate doesn't know," the steward replied as he wiped the cold sweat from his face.

"Then don't you send someone to inquire about it!" Li Yuanjing saw the appearance of the steward, and the anger in his heart was even worse.

"Yes, yes!" The steward practiced the response.
