Chapter 156: The Pit Man
When Xuan Shijing was busy cleaning up the mess left by Li Zhi in the palace, at this time, a team of about 300 people in Liangzhou was slowly moving forward, and the ox carts and carriages were lined up, and the carts were full of large boxes, and the team was moving very slowly, probably because the boxes on the ox carts and carriages were too heavy.

The curtain of the carriage walking in front was lifted, and Li Zhi poked his head out and asked, "Lord Zhang, where are we here, and how long will it take to get to Jinzhou?" ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, we are still in Liangzhou, and if we want to enter Jinzhou, at our current speed, it will take five or six days." Zhang Xingcheng sat in the car and said.
"It's going to take five or six days, which is a bit slow." Li Zhi sighed.
It has been more than ten days since he received the holy decree in Minzhou, packed up his things and set off for Jinzhou, and after spending so much time on the road, Li Zhi has become a little impatient.
"This is no way, if it was light, we would have entered the territory of Golden State by now, we have too many things, so we can only walk slowly like this." Zhang Xingcheng said.
Li Zhi nodded when he heard this, then he lowered the carriage curtain and sat back in the carriage.
In the carriage sat the princess of Jin, Wang.
"Lord Wang, is it really okay for us to bring so many things? If the officials who succeeded Minzhou discovered the abnormality in the treasury of the government and wrote an excerpt to His Majesty, wouldn't it be ......?"
"This king is also a prince." Li Zhi said: "It's the father's son-in-law, who would risk offending this king to write an excerpt for the little money in the treasury, and besides, Minzhou is already barren, even if this king is in Minzhou for three years, how much money can be saved in these three years?" Leaving those copper coins in the treasury is already the benevolence of this king, if it is replaced by someone else, in three years, even those money will not be able to accumulate. ”
Li Zhi didn't know that after he left, the person who was transferred to Minzhou by His Majesty Li Er to temporarily take over Minzhou to resist Tuyuhun was Xuan Shijing.
If Li Zhi knew that it was Xuan Shijing who took over, I am afraid that he would not dare to blatantly search for money and run away directly, at least leave all the things in the caravan.
As for the matter of His Majesty Li Er's saying at the banquet on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival that he would send someone to Minzhou to check the caravan, Li Zhi was also fully prepared, but now because of a holy decree to transfer out of Minzhou, it is useless, but this is fine, Li Zhi pondered in his heart, he got a lot of money for nothing, which is much better than relying on it in Minzhou, as for the investigation, let them investigate, leaving two small officials to be the scapegoats that Li Zhi is looking for.
No matter what is found, as long as Li Zhi bites it to death and does not admit it, only those two little officials are unlucky, and as for the life or death of those two, Li Zhi will not care.
Now Xuan Shijing is almost racing against time, and the affairs piled up in Minzhou have been dealt with overnight, and it is already three watches in the middle of the night after all the tossing, and the replacement of the Minzhou Mansion will not be hidden for long, and when the news spreads, there will be people in the army in Minzhou who will come to the door to ask for military salaries, and these things are all Li Zhi's big package, so Li Zhi left, and it fell on Xuan Shijing, originally the history of a state assassin has nothing to do with military power at all, but Minzhou, or the entire western Tang Dynasty, The prefectures and counties bordering Fanbang are different, and it is necessary to guard against Tuguhun, Tibet, and scattered departments in the south.
Now the main problem is that there is no money, and for a while, where can I get money?
Xuan Shijing is a little out of line.
"Master Hou, it's late at night, what's the matter, let's think about it tomorrow." Qin Bingyue stood up and moved her body for a moment, and said to Xuan Shijing.
"I can't sleep, you don't know, I went to the treasury during the day to check, and the copper coins in the treasury were scraped out and couldn't make up a thousand yuan, and the army in Minzhou has not paid military salaries for three months. If the military salary is not paid, in case Tuguhun comes to attack, how will this battle be fought? Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly: "Now that the autumn harvest has passed, Tuguhun is eyeing the tiger, in order to have a better winter, at any time the soldiers may commit the Tang Dynasty and enter the country to loot." ”
When Qin Bingyue heard this, she had no choice.
"Master Hou, did you let His Royal Highness King Jin take away all the money in the treasury?" Qin Bingyue asked.
Xuan Shijing nodded: "It should be, even the things that our caravan lost in Minzhou are gone, this King of Jin really cheated Benhou." ”
"King Jin brought so many things to Jinzhou to take office, I'm afraid he won't leave too fast." Qin Bingyue said: "Why don't you send someone to stop King Jin, and then get the stolen goods." ”
Hearing this, Xuan Shijing's eyes lit up, what he said was too reasonable.
"Go and call Changle to me." Xuan Shijing can't care about the third watch in the middle of the night, and there are some things that need to race against time.
Xuan Shijing waited in the hall for a while, and Chang Le followed Qin Bingyue in.
Xuan Shijing took off a jade pendant from his waist and threw it to Chang Le: "Go, find our Chamber of Commerce here in Minzhou City, let the Chamber of Commerce fly pigeons overnight to contact various places, find the whereabouts of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and immediately notify Gao Yuan, let Gao Yuan take the people in Qinling to rob Li Zhi's team to me, don't leak your identity!" ”
"Yes!" Chang Le responded.
Chang Le took Xuan Shijing's token and left to find the Chamber of Commerce, and Xuan Shijing was standing in the hall with a sneer on his face.
"Master Hou, what do you want?" Qin Bingyue looked at Xuan Shijing.
"Robbery, unidentified robbery." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Let Li Zhi suffer a dumb loss, Li Zhi left Minzhou with so many things, the speed of travel must be very slow, by now, there must be a long distance from Jinzhou, as long as there is time, directly rob Li Zhi's team in the middle of the road, and then hide in the Qinling Mountains with things, Li Zhi can only eat this dumb loss." Xuan Shijing explained: "And the excerpt of my impeachment of Li Zhi has been sent to Chang'an for 400 miles, and His Majesty will definitely order Li Zhi to return the money and property in the Minzhou Mansion and the goods of our caravan to us after reading it. ”
After listening to Xuan Shijing's words, Qin Bingyue suddenly felt that her Hou Ye's heart was really black, it tricked people, and it made people speechless, at that time, Li Zhi said that the thing was not in his hands, and it was robbed by someone, who would believe it, His Majesty would only think that Li Zhi was a moth in it, and he also commanded even more distrust of Li Zhi.
