The next day, Zhang Bao'er gave an order to He Zhi, who was left in Chen, and asked him to invite Xu Xin, Feng Wanshan, He Shopkeeper and Wang Quan to the Yamen of the Assassin History.

That night, he brought them with him.

Zhang Bao'er led everyone to the silver vault, pointed to the empty silver boxes and said: "The mysterious disappearance of 100,000 taels of official silver in the Bianzhou silver vault, you must have heard of this matter, right?" ”

Feng Wanshan said puzzledly: "My lord, the silver treasury was stolen, why did you bring the four of us here?" ”

Zhang Bao'er laughed and said, "Gluttonous greed is unparalleled in the world." ”

Feng Wanshan's face changed and he stopped talking.

Zhang Baoer said: "This case seems to be extremely bizarre, the first strange thing is that the treasury is heavily guarded, how did the official bank be lost?" The second surprise is that there is a corpse in the silver box. The third wonder is why the thieves only stole half of the silver taels? Feng Wanshan, Xu Xin, Shopkeeper He, Wang Quan, the four of you are incomprehensible. Five years ago, the Bianzhou silver treasury was repaired, and Feng Wanshan was invited to go, at that time, Feng Wanshan left a flaw in the treasury, after five years, you began to do it, first bought Zheng Huaren, the commander of Chen Liuxian County, and Zhao Cheng, the treasurer of Bianzhou. On March 15, the silver boxes escorted from Chenliu County to the treasury had a mezzanine, with official silver on the top and Feng Wanshan himself, food, and water on the bottom. The weight of the cash box has been carefully weighed and is in line with the accounts. Therefore, although Zhao Cheng suspected that you were cheating, he did not see the flaw. ”

"After Feng Wanshan entered the silver vault, he used the flaws left five years ago to steal the official silver of the month. A month later, on April 15, Wang Biao was arranged by Zheng Huaren to be in the team to deliver the official silver, the purpose was to make him a substitute for the dead ghost, because the guards had registered the people who entered and left the treasury, and if there was one more person, he would definitely be interrogated. After Wang Biao entered the silver vault, Feng Wanshan charmed Wang Biao, changed into his clothes, put him in a silver box and locked him, and then swaggered out of the treasury. Poor Wang Biao was starved to death by plotting. That's why only half of the silver in the vault was stolen. According to your plan, you will wait for the opportunity to take out the corpse when the government sends the official money in May, so Zhao Cheng will still be useful at that time, so you have not extinguished your mouth. But I didn't expect that Ni Tingshi used the money from the treasury to respond to the locust plague and ruined your plan in advance. When you get the news, you know that the government will definitely go to Zheng Huaren to investigate, so you kill him first. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Bao'er made a move, and he immediately stacked the silver boxes with the two officials to form a step to the top of the treasury, and then, He Zhi climbed up and pulled out a stone from the top, and after a while, the hole was enough for one person to get into. When he got in, there was a clanging sound, and there was an extra layer of silver on the ground.

Zhang Bao'er got a hint from Shi Taotao's body, since it is impossible for the silver to be transported away, there is only one possibility, the money is still in the treasury. The secret room with huge stones piled up on one side may never have a chance for others, but for Feng Wanshan, a stonemason, it is exactly where he can play. Moreover, when he repaired the silver vault five years ago, he had already dug up the mezzanine. When the rumors have passed, the treasury has been relocated, and they can swagger out the stolen money and enjoy it.

Feng Wanshan and the others were speechless, so they had to bow their heads and confess.

After cracking the case of the theft of official silver in Bianzhou, Zhang Baoer continued to supervise the extermination of locusts in various counties in Bianzhou. By the end of June, the locust plague had been largely contained. In Bianzhou alone, 340,000 locusts were killed, and the situation has stabilized because of the effective killing measures and the timely relief of the disaster, and the people have not been displaced.

After the locust extermination, Zhang Baoer left Bianzhou. In order to mobilize the states to exterminate locusts, Yao Chong took the situation of locusts killed in each state as the standard for rewards and punishments for stabbing history, and those who were diligent and those who were lazy should be reported at any time. Due to the remarkable achievements of Bianzhou in exterminating locusts, Ni Ruoshui, the assassin of Bianzhou, was finally transferred back to Chang'an to take up his post as he wished.

……

When Zhang Baoer arrived in Luzhou, it was already the end of June. Leaving Bianzhou, Zhang Baoer was not in a hurry to return to Chang'an, but asked his entourage to go back first, and he and Uncle Hua lived in Luzhou before making a detour. It has been several years since he left Luzhou, and now that he finally has this opportunity, of course he wants to take a look.

Looking at the lush Dacang Mountain in front of her, Zhang Baoer seemed to have returned to the time of the year. But when the two of them crossed the Dacang Mountain and saw the situation in front of them, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"OMG! Uncle Hua, is this still the big grass beach of the year? Zhang Baoer asked in surprise.

What catches your eye is a large number of houses, herds of horses, cattle and sheep, and there is no edge as far as the eye can see. If you don't know, you'll think it's a huge village!

"It's only been a few years, and it's been such a scale!" Uncle Hua couldn't help but admire.

"It seems that we have made this trip worthwhile!" Zhang Bao'er was full of smiles.

"Uncle, shall we go in?" Uncle Hua asked.

Zhang Bao'er shook her head: "Don't go now, go again at night." ”

"Coming back in the evening?" Uncle Hua was a little puzzled.

"I want to feel how the big grass beach is guarded!" Zhang Baoer said with deep meaning.

Uncle Hua understood: "Uncle, what do you mean ......?"

Zhang Bao'er nodded and stopped talking.

……

When he was young, Hou Jie was talking to Liu Yaqian in the house.

Liu Yaqian is the daughter of Liu Juren, a big family in Luzhou, back then, Zhang Baoer helped Liu Yaqian avenge the murder of her father, and strongly persuaded Liu Yaqian to stay in Dacaotan. Later, under the guidance of Jiang Xiaotong, Liu Yaqian and Hou Jie became married, and they also had a lovely son.

Suddenly, there was a terrible sound of arrows in the night sky.

When Hou Jie heard this, he immediately stood up, and the arrow was the news from the sentry: there was an invasion of foreign enemies.

There will be an invasion of foreign enemies, which has never happened in the history of Dacaotan.

Hou Jie walked out of the house and asked loudly, "What's wrong!" ”

A guard reported loudly: "An unknown person has been found in the barracks, and Zhao Shuai has led a team to search the barracks." ”

When Hou Jie heard this, he couldn't help frowning. Over the years, he has made great efforts for the Dacaotan Society, and Zhang Baoer handed over the rear to himself, and he couldn't live up to Bao'er's trust. Today, under his auspices, Dacaustan has been thriving. Despite this, Hou Jie has never relaxed his vigilance against the safety precautions of Dacaotan. Dacaustan is divided into four areas, one is the residential area, one is the Luzhou regimental training barracks, one is the forging area, and the other is the horse farm.

Although there are many people in the residential area, they are all relatives of soldiers and craftsmen, and soldiers patrol every night, making it difficult for outsiders to enter. There are troops stationed in the horse farm, the forging area and the barracks, especially the barracks are even more heavily guarded, but there are outsiders infiltrating tonight, this matter must be not trivial.
