Yuan Ling seemed to be very thirsty, picked up the teacup, and drank it dry in one gulp. Then he said: "The saying of this treasure map has existed since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, when Emperor Yang of Sui was killed in Jiangdu Yu culture, all the treasures in the Jiangdu palace were looted by him, and it is said that there are 350 million yuan."

Later, Nayu Wenhua and led the army to return to the north, first defeated by Li Mi, and later after the establishment of the pseudo 'Xu' country, he was defeated by Dou Jiande and captured and killed. However, Dou Jiande did not get any treasure.

According to people's analysis, that treasure must have been hidden by Yu Wenhua, the location may be in Weizhou, or it may be somewhere else, of course, it should definitely be not far from the north line! ”

When everyone heard this, they thought it was very likely. Because of the culture of Nayu and there is no reason not to loot the palace and then flee.

Zou Fengchi said: "There are also folk legends about this matter, and I think the treasure matter is very likely." The prosperity ratio of Jiangdu is not much worse than that of Liangjing.

After Yang Guang became the emperor, he went to Jiangdu three times, and the treasures in the palace of Jiangdu were still less than tens of millions. Yu Wenhua and launched a rebellion, and it is inevitable that the treasure will be taken away by him! ”

At this time, Na Yuan Ling said: "I estimate that we can catch him in a few days, because we have already found the residence of one of his women in the Divine Capital, and it has taken us a lot of effort to find that woman!" ”

Wu Yanzhi said: "It seems that Yuan Facao is going to make meritorious service!" Congratulations! ”

"It's nothing more than catching a thief, and it's not a big deal! This is a matter of humble duty, where can I dare to expect any meritorious service to be rewarded! Yuan Ling shook his head.

"You are the general of the three divisions, if you catch the robber within the time limit, you will definitely be rewarded!" Li Bochang said.

Wu Yanyi listened, it seems that Yuan Ling, the judicial officer of Luozhou, is the commander-in-chief of this arrest of Fang Xingben. Liu Zhaode, the lieutenant of Luoyang County, and others are all executors.

A few people chatted, and most of the wine and food had been served.

So Wu Yanzhi raised his glass and congratulated Zou Fengchi on winning the title of Wupin Chaosan Doctor and the county prince.

But he said that a few people had just drunk a few glasses of wine, and suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Then, the shopkeeper Song Er led in a servant. Wu Yan Yi, isn't this the Ludian Prison in Luoyang County?

I saw that Nalu Dianjiao hurriedly stepped forward and saluted everyone, and then reported to Yuan Lingyu:

"Qiyu Yuangong, Liu County Lieutenant asked the lowly to come to report, that Fang Xingben assassinated Qiu Houde of the Sixing Temple more than an hour ago, but he was killed by the ambushed soldiers with arrows!"

Then, he gave a general explanation.

Assassinated the priest of the temple? Yuan Ling was very surprised! But that doesn't have much to do with him! His goal is to catch Fang Xingben, either alive or dead.

"Good! You go back first, and I'll arrange for the follow-up matters early tomorrow morning! Yuan Ling was overjoyed.

"Obedience!" Lu Dianjiao arched his hand. And he saluted them again, and then took his leave.

As soon as Nalu Prison left, Li Bochang said: "This party has been stealing on the river for more than 20 years, and how much more than 100,000 yuan of property has been robbed? It's a pity that I can't recover the stolen goods.

But why did he take such a big risk to assassinate Qiu Houde? ”

"There's no way around it, those people in the rivers and lakes are all outlaws, where is it easy to catch them alive?

As for why he killed Qiu Houde, I shouldn't have said anything in the first place. But since someone has been killed, it doesn't hurt for me to say it directly.

In fact, I have long known the relationship between the two of them, and this time I used him to lure and arrest Fang Xingben.

Qiu Houde was originally a scholar who fell to the ground, and when he was on the river, he was robbed of all his belongings, and was thrown into the river by robbers and almost drowned.

It was Fang Xingben who saved him, who knew that this person actually took revenge, and after staying in Fang Xingben for a month, he took advantage of the opportunity to go out to run errands, not only abducted one of his favorite women, but also took away all his belongings.

Later, he went against the current and returned to the capital, relying on the thousands of dollars he obtained, he got a background. Then after more than ten years of struggle, he became the Six-Rank Priest of the Punishment Temple.

A few months ago, that Fang Xingben accidentally heard Qiu Houde's whereabouts from a person, so he came to Luoyang, the divine capital, regardless of the danger. His goal is to kill Qiu Houde! Yuan Ling said.

Hearing what he said, everyone sighed!

This Qiu Houde also deserves it, but where is he worthy of the word "Houde" that his father gave him? It's just something that pigs and dogs are not as good as!

……

In the evening, Wu Yanzhi returned to Xuantian Temple.

opened the door, and under the light of the flickering candle in his hand, the gifts given by Xu Cai and Zou Fengchi in the afternoon were still on the table.

Taking advantage of the wine, he couldn't help but think: What are these two sending?

Put down the candle, reflexively close the door, and open the window.

He opened the gift box given by Xu Cai first, but it was golden in an instant. It turned out that it was all gold, almost twenty catties!

Wu Yanyi saw that he provided him with the technology of distilling liquor, and he gave himself these things, which was almost the same. Using the technology he provides, he hasn't earned it back in a few months?

Then, he looked at the two clay pots containing honey that Zou Fengchi had sent.

When he held this thing and handed it to Zhang Tai in the afternoon, he felt that it was definitely not honey in it! Because the weight is much heavier.

He lifted the lid of a clay pot, and then untied the rope that bound the bamboo seal, and at first glance, it was also gold.

When I unravel another jar, it was all jade. Wu Yanzhi studied mining, and of course he also studied jade.

He picked up one at random and looked at it, shook his head, and thought to himself, this jar of jade is probably more valuable than that jar of gold!

……

On the second day, Luoyang, Luozhou Bureau.

However, it was said that Yuan Ling, who joined the army in Luozhou, called a Fazo early in the morning of the second day and ordered: "Cut off the head of the thief Fang Xingben and show it to the public in the north and south cities for seven days!"

At the same time, the whole city issued a notice, one is to deter thieves; The second is to reassure the people of the capital! ”

"Obedience!"

……

Wu Yanzhi went to the Winter Lawsuit Office in the morning to finish his work, and left the imperial city without lunch.

The Beijing officials in the Tang Dynasty were very leisurely, generally working for half a day. If it's okay, you can go home in the afternoon! The state and county magistrates can't do it, they have to be called in the morning and evening, which is very hard.

Midday. Wu Yanzhi, his servant Zhang Tai, and Gu Zhiwen, the three of them came to Nanshi together, ready to buy some necessary household items.

This house, he was going to let Gu Zhiwen help take care of it, so let him help pick out some things.

Luoyang South City is larger than North City because there are far more people living south of Luoshui than in the north of Luoshui.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the gate of Nanshi, they saw a lot of people gathered around, looking at some announcement.

A few people took a closer look, but it was a notice that the Luozhou government had shot the Jiangyang thief Fang Xingben.

The notice said that starting today, the head of that party will be displayed in Nanshi for seven days to set an example.

Gu Zhiwen said: "This person wants to come to Luoyang for some reason, and he also killed Qiu Houde of the Punishment Temple!" Hanging here, too! ”

Wu Yanzhi nodded: "He has also killed a lot of people, and he has lived happily for so many years, and it's almost over!" ”

A few people then left, entered the South City, found a wine shop, solved the problem of lunch, and then wandered around at will in it, buying some daily necessities at home!

More than an hour later, just as Wu Yanzhi and the others were about to leave, they suddenly saw a crowd of people in the center of the market in front of them, and the noise was unusual.

What happened? Even if the people were to look at the head of the book, let them not gather together so many. Wu Yanzhi didn't want to look at a dead man's head, he was a little unsure.

Gu Zhiwen said: "Brother Wu, there must be something ahead!" I'll check it out later! ”

"Okay!" Wu Yanzhi was helpless, so he had to follow to see the excitement.

The red sun is obliquely shining, and the sun is scorching.

People are not afraid of the heat and are crowded.

Wu Yanzhi rode a horse at a good time, and it was naturally much taller. He patted his horse and approached the circle, but it was a black-faced man in his thirties, who was tied behind his back and kneeled on the ground. A Jin Wuwei officer, commanding two soldiers, was whipping the black-faced man!
