The bright light was so abrupt, but it was fleeting.

At this moment, it is Chinese New Year's Eve, under the reflection of many firecracker flashes, the strong light is not very obvious if you do not pay attention.

But for Zhao Yunrang, who is looking up at the night sky, this is a signal!

There is a policeman!

Zhao Yunrang immediately curled his fingers: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight-"

An unusually dull dull sound finally came from afar when Zhao Yun rang to count to eight.

Two o'clock!

The distance is about 2,700 meters!

Zhao Yunrang rushed out of the yard and ran all the way towards Zhao Yuanyan's yard!

Many people don't realize it at all, and maybe think it's just a super loud second kick!

Zhao Yuanyan was already wearing iron armor, holding an extraordinarily thick long knife in his hand, and went from the house to the courtyard: "What's the matter?" ”。

A group of black-clad guards with weapons in their hands emerged from all over the rooftop.

They all looked a little dazed, and obviously didn't know what was going on.

Only one of the leaders hesitated: "Lord Qiyu, it seems that there is a big movement in the west!" ”

The man thought for a moment and added, "It's not a firecracker!" ”

At this time, Zhao Yunrang had already rushed into the courtyard in three steps and two steps.

Zhao Yuanyan didn't expect that the first person in the family to come was his youngest son Zhao Yunrang.

"Permission—what are you going to do?"

Zhao Yun didn't care about the black-clothed people in the courtyard, and he knew who they were when he looked around Zhao Yuanyan, with the bow and the knife out of the sheath, as if he was facing a great enemy!

"Two o'clock in the direction—well, west, a little over five miles away!"

Zhao Yuanyan's face changed, and he snorted in a low voice: "Salt and Iron Division!" ”

"Someone!"

Before Zhao Yuanyan's voice fell, two flashes of light came from the distance one after another.

Zhao Yun silently said: "South, three miles; North, three miles! ”

The leader frowned: "Lord Wang, it's the Duzhi Division and the Household Division, and it's the three divisions that have an accident - the three divisions have an accident?" ”

Sansi, that's the key to the Great Song Dynasty's finances!

Not to mention the three divisions in Bianliang City, even the three divisions in the county town are also the most strictly guarded places.

Today, though, is Chinese New Year's Eve!

Zhao Yuanyan's face changed suddenly: "Jiao Ziyin!" ”

"Lei Rui, pass on my military order, order the right army of the forbidden army, and the whole city is curfew!"

"Strictly inspect passers-by, especially passing vehicles, and the city gate must not be opened without a military order!"

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a curfew in the whole city of Bianliangcheng, which was the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

The people who had not returned to the house after setting off the firecrackers were stunned by the forbidden army in iron armor and spears in their hands!

Some of the insightful hurriedly turned around and turned back to the courtyard.

This is not the old men of the Military Training Division who patrol the streets every day, this is the most elite forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, the horse infantry army of the front division of the palace!

Zhao Yunrang returned to his courtyard, where Xiao Liuzi was already waiting.

A gray carrier pigeon flew up in the dark night and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

Military orders were issued one after another, and news from all over the place was gradually fed back.

The treasury of the three divisions, which were several miles apart, were stolen almost at the same time.

The news also spread to the forbidden palace as soon as possible.

The palace gate is absolutely not open at night, and when the eunuch on duty put the news of the basket in front of Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen was furious!

is also erect, as well as the Empress Dowager Liu of Cining Palace!

Jiaozi has just been released, and the situation is very good.

Empress Dowager Liu regarded it as her own political achievements, and Zhao Zhen also regarded it as the foundation of her country.

Someone dared to risk the world's condemnation and steal silver on Chinese New Year's Eve!

Bianliang City is the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, how can anyone plan such a thing?

The next day, the forbidden army inside and outside the city was fully mobilized, and additional personnel were sent to each city gate, covering themselves with perseverance and perseverance, and checking the passers-by.

According to the statistics of the three divisions of the Salt and Iron Division, the Household Division, and the Degree Branch Division, a total loss of 100,000 yuan of Jiaozi silver.

At the same time, there are 100,000 Jiaozi who are well printed and have not yet been issued!

In addition, dozens of guards from the three divisions died on the spot, and none of them survived!

The three treasurers are in charge, all of whom are among them.

The first day of the new year's court meeting was originally the beginning of the yuan, Vientiane was renewed, the ministers congratulated, and the scene of celebrating the Spring Festival.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the Golden Hall was so oppressive that it was breathless.

Mrs. Liu's back sank like water, and Zhao Zhen's face was pale!

The three divisions all left the handwriting of the thief: "Take 100,000 yuan of silver, only the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will spend it." ”

This is a naked provocation!

not only took away the silver, but also left a message to provoke, and even separated the relationship between Empress Dowager Liu and Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen, who had been silent for a long time, said coldly: "With the Kaifeng Mansion investigating this case, all the yamen will cooperate regardless of their rank, and within ten days, I will see the thief kneeling in front of me, and he wants to live!" ”

Zhen Dianbei, the deputy military training envoy in charge of the inspection, was killed!

Military training made Lu Gong dismiss his official position, and he made meritorious service for his crimes!

The three envoys each won a year!

Longtu Pavilion to be systematized, the right to know Kaifeng Mansion, the highly respected minister Wang Bowen, was reprimanded by Zhao Zhen.

Kaifeng Mansion has guarded Yan Zhao with a knife and four products in front of the emperor, and the guards have made meritorious contributions.

Since the Empress Dowager Liu lowered the curtain, although the administration has been quite severe, she has generally been lenient.

Zhao Zhen is even more so, but this time, the will of Zhen Dianbei was drafted by the Queen Mother and the emperor.

The old eunuch beside Zhao Zhen personally announced the decree and personally supervised the sentence.

Long Yan was furious, and the government and the opposition shook.

Limited to the seriousness of the case, the specific information is kept strictly confidential.

Some of the people who know, except for the relevant people of the three divisions, are only Zhao Yuanyan and Zhao Yunrang father and son.

Zhao Yunrang was working with Yan Zhao to carefully investigate these three scenes.

The technique is exactly the same.

The warehouses of these three divisions are all built next to the Bianhe River to facilitate the entry and exit of goods.

For the sake of safety, there are sluices in the place in front of the warehouse that connects with the Bianhe River.

The sluice gate is all cypress clad iron, at least 2,000 catties, and the lifting and placing all rely on the runner noose on the side.

Someone took advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve to manage laxity, put in gunpowder, blew up the sluice, and transported the silver out.

100,000 yuan in cash!

The salt and iron division is the most, taking 40,000 guan!

30,000 each for the degree branch division and the household department!

"You see, these three places of silver are more than this amount, so do you want to make money or have another plan?"

Zhao Yunrang asked Yan Zhao, who looked tired.

Yesterday, he received Zhao Yunrang's carrier pigeon, and Yan Zhao started from the Salt and Iron Division to follow the tracks.

As a result, not far from the city gate, an abandoned carriage was found.

The horse is gone.

On board was a mess of iron.

This disappointed Yan Zhao, who was chasing after him.

Originally, according to Yan Zhao's judgment of the car marks, it is very likely that this car is the stolen Jiaozi silver!

"Tricked by someone?"

Zhao Yunrang was thoughtful, it seemed that what he met this time was a thief with a high IQ!

And almost all those who know the facts of the case believe that this is another scheme!

This can be seen from the words!

Although this is a sowing discord on the surface, looking at the appearance of Empress Dowager Liu and Zhao Zhen, no one can tell whether it is because of the case or because of something else.

Zhao Yunrang wondered, even if it was 100,000 yuan, it was 100,000 taels of silver, and if it was transported by land, there would be at least five carts.

Even on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is impossible not to be discovered, and at that time, there are always some firecrackers on the street.

Therefore, it is inevitable to take the waterway, 100,000 taels of silver, if it is the largest ship in the Bianhe River, one should be fine!

Zhao Yunrang was pleasantly surprised by what he found, but Yan Zhao looked at him like a fool!

Yan Zhao smiled bitterly: "Don't forget, what time is it?" ”

Does it matter when does it matter?

Isn't it Chinese New Year's Eve now, it's still in Sanjiu - I'll go, Sanjiu Forty-Nine Ice Walk!

There is ice in the Bianhe River!

I'll go, Zhao Yunrang felt that all his reasoning was ruined by this sentence!

yes, it's winter!

The Bianhe River has long been frozen.

Although the ice may not be very thick in some places, it is impossible to sail by boat.

Did the silver have wings?

Zhao Yunrang, who has always felt that his IQ is not low, is very frustrated!

"By the way, I surveyed the scene and found something!"

Zhao Yunrang took Yan Zhao to a courtyard next to him: "Look, this is the sluice gate in front of the third treasury. ”

It was made of cypress clad iron, but now the large rivets on the sluice gate were blown out, and the iron sheet was rolled up, and the cypress core was exposed.

"This cypress clad iron sluice gate has been destroyed like this, what do you think caused it?"
