Soon, Bo Yao broke into Huang Yun's house with a team of guards, and without waiting for the housekeeper to ask for clarification, these people forcibly searched it.

After a while, the guards who came to search made an important discovery, a huge pig iron box was hidden in the high pile of firewood in the firewood room in the backyard, and Bo Ya ordered someone to carry the live iron box and pry the chain on the box open.

The moment the box was opened, everyone was shocked, it was really full of glittering gold, Bo Yao took out a piece of gold and looked at it carefully, these gold were all gold dollars from the official system of the Yue Kingdom, a total of two hundred taels, it seems that Huang Yun's robbery of gifts is true, and these gold are the ones that Huang Yun did not hand over to the treasury.

"Bring the butler." ”

After a while, the guards threw the butler in front of Bo Ya, and the butler knelt on the ground tremblingly, bowing his head and not daring to look at Bo Ya.

"What's in this box, you know?"

"Returning to the adult, the villain...... The villain doesn't know. ”

"Do you know when the box was hidden?"

"Your Excellency...... The box is the ...... I hid it in."

"What did you hide? So bold! ”

"My lord! The villain is wronged, the box was sent by my Lord Huang in the morning, and the person who came to deliver the box said let me hide the box, and the adult will send it out ......of the city in the evening."

"Who sent it?!"

"The villain doesn't know ......"

"Bold! How dare you accept it if you don't know?! ”

"Wronged! My lord, the person who came to deliver the box was the Praetorian Guard, and my lord was in charge of the Praetorian Guard, and he often ordered his subordinates to do some things, so I didn't think too much about it......"

"What else did the person who came to deliver the box say?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing......" The butler was scared into a cold sweat, carefully recalling what happened in the morning, "Oh! That's right! I remember! The man also said......"

"What else are you talking about?!"

"He asked me to tell Lord Huang that the other box has been properly out of the city, please rest assured Lord Huang."

Hearing this, Bo Yao was angry, wasn't the so-called "other box" exactly the three hundred taels of gold that Yue Guo was going to give him, he scolded in his heart, and made up his mind to snatch back his box of gold from Huang Yun's mouth no matter what.

"My lord, what a small wrong! These things were all done by Lord Huang! It has nothing to do with the little one, the villain doesn't know anything! ”

Bo Yao ordered loudly: "Someone! Put the steward in jail and put this box of gold in storage! ”

One night a few days later, Bo Yao was wearing the Qingluan hosta, sullenly drinking and dancing in the back hall, when the Han account room ran to Bo Ya's side with small steps and whispered a few words. After listening to the whisper, Bo Yao's originally gloomy face suddenly smiled, he waved his hand to let the dancers leave, and then got up and came to the cabinet of the house.

At this time, Xiao Shi was already waiting in the cabinet garden.

When Xiao Shi saw Bo Yao, he immediately saluted and said, "Meet Dazai-sama." ”

"Please come in, please come in, don't stay outside the house, it's easy to catch a cold in autumn."

"Thank you, sir." Xiao Shi followed Bo Yao into the cabinet.

After sitting down, Bo Yao patted a few cases and said: "This Huang Yun is really unbelievable, and he even dares to grab the gift money offered to the king, it's just bold!" Now the evidence is conclusive, but he is still stubborn and refuses to admit his guilt. ”

"Lord Dazai, the reason why Huang Yun snatched the gift money, in addition to embezzling property, is nothing more than trying to frame him, if it weren't for Lord Dazai's search for these two hundred taels of gold from the Huang Mansion, there would really be no way to deal with it."

"Hey, Xiao Envoy, you can't say that, in the final analysis, it's Huang Yun's problem, he really lost the face of our Wu Kingdom by doing this, if I see King Yue and Master Fan in the future, I don't know what to say, hey, his face is all lost."

"By the way, Dazai-sama, the Yellow Mansion only found two hundred taels of gold, I don't know...... What is the whereabouts of the remaining three hundred taels? ”

Bo Yao waved his hand and sighed: "This Huang Yun, he has already transported the three hundred taels of gold out of the city, where can he find it now?" Moreover, there is no record of the three hundred taels, and even if he confesses his sins in the future, he will not find out the whereabouts of the three hundred taels. Forget it, forget it, I got King Yue's wishes. ”

Xiao Shi sighed and said, "Hey, in the end, it's still my fault for escorting bad luck." ”

"I can't blame you, he took the Praetorian Guards to rob it, what can you do, that's it, that's it." Bo Yao waved his hand helplessly.

Xiao Shi saluted solemnly: "After the king of my family learned about this, he quickly ordered someone to bring another three hundred taels of gold to the adult, the gift money has been delivered this afternoon, when I came just now, I have handed over the gold to Han Lao, the matter is so delayed, I hope the adult will not blame." ”

Bo Yao pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Hey, what is this for, it's not your fault, besides, I have always been clear about King Yue's intentions, and I don't always have to send these." ”

"I hope that the adults will laugh and accept, and in the future, please ask the adults to say a lot of good words to the king of Wu, after all, only you understand the heart of the king of my family, the king sincerely surrenders, and only asks for the protection of the state of Wu, but there are always some people who maliciously slander and intend to sow discord......"

"Don't worry, don't worry, go back and help me say hello to King Yue and Master Fan, I will naturally not disappoint their hard work."

"Thank you, Dazai-sama, it's just ...... Hey, those three hundred taels of gold were swallowed by Huang Yun privately, I really can't bear it......"

"Hmph, Huang Yun, sooner or later I want him to look good!"

The autumn night is slightly cold, and the bleak full moon casts the pale moonlight on the earth. In the courtyard, the branches and leaves of the peach trees cast dappled shadows on the ground, and except for a faint candle in the public room, the rest of the rooms were plunged into darkness.

Gong Wanran pushed open the door and walked slowly into the courtyard, he took a deep breath, the evening breeze was cold, and he couldn't help but shiver. He put a bamboo flute to his lips and blew a poignant and mournful tune, which was called "Zhuolu".

After the song was blown, there was a knock on the door, and Gong Wan suddenly opened the gate of the courtyard, only to see Xiao Shi leaning against the door.

"I haven't heard this song in almost twenty years." Xiao Shi crossed his arms and looked at Gong Hui Ran and said.

"Twenty years ago, I didn't know you." Gong Wanran smiled.

"Really? It always feels like it's been a long, long time. ”

"yes, it's been a long time."

"Does Senior Brother live alone?"

"Since then, Xiao Xun has eaten and lived in the workshop, and rarely comes back."

"Hey." Xiao Shi sighed, "Master once said that each of us will face loneliness, and we must learn to enjoy it. ”

Gong Wanran nodded and didn't say anything.

"Senior brother, I have seen Bo Yao, the matter has been completed, and he is now very sure that Huang Yun swallowed him three hundred taels of gold. But in fact, Huang Yun didn't harbor his gold at all, and the gift money I sent him today was still what I originally brought and intended to give him, but it was sent a few days late, and Huang Yun was charged with a crime by the way. ”

"Well, in this way, Huang Yun and Bo Yao will be completely separated, but after all, the Huang family has a deep foundation, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be completely shaken this time."

"That's a serious injury."

"Yes, it will be difficult for Huang Yun to turn over in the future." Gong Wanran was silent for a moment and said, "It's just...... I don't know if I'm doing it right or not......"

"Huang Yun is not a good thing, senior brother should be to eradicate the evil ministers."

Gong Wanran shook his head, "That's not the case, the things in the court affect the whole body, and getting rid of Huang Yun is not as simple as pulling out a nail, which may have an overall impact on the stability of the court." ”

"Hehe, this is what my king wants to see."

"Hmm."

"Senior brother, sometimes, I think you see things too clearly, which is not good."

Gong Wanran smiled, looked at Xiao Shi, and asked, "What?" ”

"Let's just say that between Wu and Yue, sooner or later there will be a battle, but our four brothers, two are loyal to Wu and two are loyal to Yue, and we will inevitably want to see each other on the battlefield in the future."

Gong Wanran frowned and nodded.

"Senior brother thinks clearly, and naturally his heart is painful, just like this time. The two of us cleaned up Huang Yun, this was for brotherhood, but afterwards, the senior brother was worried about the Wu family. Hey, in such a dilemma, how should the senior brother take care of it? In the end, you can only ask for trouble. ”

Gong Wanran smiled bitterly and said, "You're right, I'm really asking for trouble, maybe sometimes I don't want to see it too clearly, so don't tell Xiao Xun about Senior Brother Ji for the time being." ”

Xiao Shi shook his head, "Senior brother, you underestimate Senior Brother Zhang Xun a little, in fact, if you don't say it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know, and it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand." I think Senior Brother Zhang Xun is wise and foolish, don't look at his innocent appearance, in fact, he has suppressed a lot of pain, many thoughts, and many speculations in his heart...... Senior brother, you always want to protect us too much. ”

"Maybe......"

"Oh, by the way, senior brother, where did you get that box of gold yuan from the official system of the Yue Kingdom?"

"It's a long story, when the three of us just came down the mountain, we passed by Yiyang Village and found that the Yue people were stealing gold mines from Wu and seized a box of gold dollars, which finally came in handy at this time."

"Is it the one related to Li Zida?"

"Yes."

"Oh, I've heard about that."

Gong Wanran asked with some concern: "Tampering with the national letter won't have any impact on you, right?" ”

"What impact can it have? It's not all the instructions of Lord Fan, the more chaotic the court of Wu is, the happier my king is? ”

"Okay, so where did you get the fake fingerprints?"

"Just cut off the fingers of two people, treat the fingers with special drugs, peel off the epidermis, and make finger sleeves." Xiao Shi said indifferently.

Gong Wanran shook his head helplessly, "Yun Qing, don't always be careless about people's lives like this." ”

"Got it, senior brother, I just cut off their fingers, and I didn't kill them, not to mention that these Yue people are more fanatical than the other. Not to mention fingers, even if the king needs their heads, they will not hesitate to cut them off themselves. ”

"Hey, the Yue people are so loyal, I'm afraid that the Wu Kingdom will be destroyed by the Yue Kingdom sooner or later."

"Senior brother, I don't advise you to go to Yueguo, but there is a sentence, please Senior Brother must listen to me."

"Say it."

"When the ship sinks, it must not perish with it."

Gong Wanran was silent for a long time, and did not answer anything.

Xiao Shi sighed, "Forget it, let's talk about it then, the world is like this, what can you and I do, but no matter what happens in the future, I will protect my senior brother like my senior brother protects me." ”

Gong Wanran smiled and touched Xiao Shi's head, but didn't say anything.

"Senior brother, then I'll go back."

"Take care."

"Senior brother, take care."
