Chapter 82: The Case of Official Silver
Although Lu Sheng's reputation did not once again arouse heated discussions among the people of Jiangnan Province, in the martial arts of Jiangnan Province, there was a sudden surge of drama.
What happened in Suzhou Wulin still spread within a few days.
In any corner of the rivers and lakes, all kinds of intrigues or grievances occur every day. What happened in Suzhou Wulin is just a drop in the sea, and there are not many waves, and it can't move the rivers and lakes or even out of Jiangnan Road.
But within Gangnam Province, almost all the people in the martial arts remember a name. Lu Sheng, the head of the Suzhou Prefecture Criminal Division!
Both the underworld and the white road warn each other not to cause trouble when they arrive in Suzhou Mansion. When you arrive in Suzhou Mansion, don't offend the government. In other places, if you provoke the government, you can still find shelter from the local martial arts forces. But in Suzhou, I want to provoke the government, and I hope to run fast enough to leave the jurisdiction of Suzhou Government as soon as possible.
The night passed quietly, and the birdsong in the early morning was particularly cheerful.
Lu Sheng had just finished washing, Lu Li held a sword in his hand, slowly pushed open the door and walked step by step with a cold expression.
Lu Sheng's hand hanging the towel paused in mid-air, and he looked at Lu Li, who was walking on a catwalk, and every movement seemed to be half a beat slower.
"Ahri, what's wrong with you?
A question made the expression on Lu Li's face a little tense, and he snorted and smiled, "Brother, the master's temperament that people have just gathered has been destroyed by you again...... Brother, did I look very imposing when I walked just now?"
"Like an old lady with inconvenient legs and feet, where is the momentum?" Lu Sheng glanced at him, this footwork was obviously influenced by opera.
"Hmph, ignore you, I'll go to Brother Lu Jian for a discussion. What about Brother Lu Jian? Lu Jianβ"
Hearing Lu Li's call, Lu Jian's feet that were about to step in stiffened violently and slowly retracted.
"Brother Lu Jian, you're here, it's just right, let's have a discussion. Lu Li shouted excitedly when he saw Lu Jian.
Lu Jian's face turned pale suddenly, before yesterday, of course Lu Jian was willing. However, yesterday Lu Li's life broke through to the ninth level of the day after tomorrow, and Lu Jian was only the eighth level of the day after tomorrow.
In addition, Lu Fox has just advanced by leaps and bounds, so this is not a serious move. If you push it too hard, it's going to die. At this moment, Lu Jian is naturally afraid of Lu Li.
"Ah, my lord, I remember you told me to go to the street to buy groceries...... I'll go first!"
"Didn't you let Sun You go to buy vegetables?"
"By the way, there are not many materials in the firewood room, so I'll go chop firewood. β
"Yesterday, Li Wei and the others had already split a room. β
"My lord, the few Jiangyang thieves sent by the Huhai Alliance yesterday haven't been interrogated yet, right? I'll pry their mouths open!"
"The spider went early in the morning, and she was good at it!"
"My lord......" Lu Jian looked at Lu Sheng pitifully, and kept blinking his eyes.
Lu Sheng turned his face slightly, pretending not to see it, "Ahri has just improved, there should be someone of equal strength to help her get used to it, Lu Jian, it's hard for you." β
"My lord, I have to speak with my conscience, is this quite equal? I am only the day after tomorrow Yae ......"
"Is there a difference between the eightfold and the ninefold, it's just one realm!" Lu Sheng asked nonchalantly.
"What is just a realm, after the five layers of the day after tomorrow, a realm is a heaven and earth, how can it be mixed up?"
"I'm sorry, but I haven't experienced this change. Lu Sheng shook his head lightly, "I seem to have jumped from the Triple One to the Ninefold Realm the day after tomorrow." Forget it, don't be hypocritical, can you be like a man? Don't worry, I'll give you a sweep on the side, even if you have a missing arm or a broken leg, I'll pick you up. β
Lu Jian asked Cang Tian speechlessly, and sighed deeply, "Okay, my lord, you have to watch closely, in case there is a flash of distortion that will die!"
"Brother Lu Jian, please!"
"Lord Luβ" At this time, a familiar call sounded outside the door, and Cheng Zhutou, who had not been seen for many days, strode over.
"Cheng Catcher?" Lu Sheng's face changed slightly, "Is there another case?"
"No, no, it's the prefect who invited you to go. β
"Is there something going on?"
Cheng Zhutou smiled, and leaned into Lu Sheng's ear in a low voice, "Fei Lingwei is here!"
"Fei Lingwei?" Lu Sheng's eyes were a little confused.
"Nanling Palace, Fei Lingwei!" Cheng Zhutou followed up with an explanation. Lu Sheng understood in an instant.
Fei Lingwei is the private soldier of the King of Nanling, and he is not easy to come out, and he will definitely do great things on behalf of the Nanling Palace. The Nanling Mansion has been in Jiangnan Province for a hundred years, and it is a transcendent existence that overrides the bureaucratic system of Jiangnan Province.
Fei Lingwei is here, so naturally things will not be trivial.
"Lord Lu, without further ado, let's talk while walking. β
"Okay, please catch the head!"
The two hurriedly walked towards the door together, and Lu Jian's sword was only half drawn.
"My lord, what about the one you said you would give me to sweep the formation?"
"Brother Lu Jian, look at the sword!" A shout sounded from behind him, the sword was not out of the sheath, and the sword qi was already horizontal.
Lu Sheng followed Cheng Zhutou to the prefect's yamen, and in the guest hall in the back hall, Lord Qian did not sit on the main seat, but sat in the guest seat opposite the young man in the gray military general's uniform.
From a distance, the two talked happily as if they had not seen each other for many years.
Behind the young general, there were two military attachΓ©s, and outside the door of the guest hall, more than a dozen plainclothes soldiers stood motionless in a row.
This standard military posture is not at all faulty with the standards of Lu Sheng's previous life. And the bodies of these soldiers exude an oppressive momentum.
Even if their cultivation is average, even if the innate realm is under this momentum, they will be three points timid.
Martial arts in the army is completely different from martial arts in the rivers and lakes. Although they have the same origin, they have split into completely different systems.
Martial arts in the rivers and lakes pay attention to personal cultivation, and the strength of martial arts all lies in personal combat power. But martial arts in the army are different, they pay attention to the whole.
In a unit of ten people, the higher the tacit understanding of the ten people's martial arts, the stronger the combat power. If an individual performs well, not only will he not be praised, but he will be punished.
Although Lu Sheng is not in the military, he has heard of it to some extent. When he visited a famous teacher, the famous teacher once asked Lu Sheng whether he wanted to govern the country and the people in the future, or join the army to level the world.
Because there are civilians in the army and the court, the civilian in the army is the military division, and it is necessary to practice the art of war formation, and the formation diagram is also martial arts, but it is in line with the martial arts and martial arts of the military formations practiced by the soldiers.
A clever military advisor can condense the army of hundreds of thousands of people into a whole through the formation diagram, and hundreds of thousands of people fight hard, and its power is enough to make the heavens and the earth change color and hang upside down.
According to legend, during the Warring States Period, in the battle of Qin and Zhao, all parties invested nearly 400,000 yuan. The military array was sacrificed, covering the sky and the sun, the war spirit was sacrificed, and the stars were hanging upside down. The battle lasted for three years, and 100,000 mountains were razed to the ground.
Later generations debated the merits and demerits of this battle, but the only thing that maintained a unified view was because of this battle, which opened up a vast plain between the mountains of Changping, and thus benefited future generations. This glorious battlefield has fed millions of people from generation to generation.
At the beginning of Lu Sheng's crossing, he had a strong interest in the martial arts system of this world. For now, there seems to be nothing that martial arts can't replace.
Even the weapons with high lethality in the previous life were realized under the battle array and military martial arts system of this world.
The 400,000 troops condensed into a whole, and everyone's strength gathered together to bombard, and that picture inexplicably reminded Lu Sheng of the vitality bomb.
"Lord Lu, what are you doing in a daze?" Qian Tang shouted with a calm face, waking up Lu Sheng.
"The lower official was rude, but when the lower official saw the soldiers for the first time, he was shocked by their momentum. Rude faux pas!"
"Lord Lu, don't be humble, I know below, Lord Lu's cultivation is already an innate realm, and the momentum of a few soldiers in my mere area, I'm afraid I can't suppress Lord Lu. β
Lu Sheng looked at the other party suspiciously, and Qian Tang hurriedly stood up and introduced to Lu Sheng, "This is General Duan Feiduan, the leader of the left guard of the Nanling Palace, and this is Lord Lu Sheng, the chief of the Criminal Department of Suzhou Mansion."
Now that everyone has arrived, General Duan, what does the king of Nanling command, but please say it directly. β
"Lord Qian, Lord Lu, sit down, if you don't sit, I can't sit still!" Duan Fei smiled and motioned for the two of them to sit down, "It's not an emergency, it's still related to the batch of official silver from a month ago!"
Duan Fei's words landed, and Lu Sheng and Qian Tang suddenly sat up straight again, and their faces became serious.
"General Duan, didn't the imperial court send Lord Qincha to investigate this case? Why did General Duan ......?"
"The imperial court was sent, but somehow, when Lord Qincha was traveling to Jiangbei, he suddenly received a holy decree and went to Zezhou. No one knows when he will come back, but the three million taels of silver can't be delayed.
The longer it drags on, the harder it will be to get it back. Therefore, the Nanling Mansion ordered me to come to Suzhou and deliver this thing to Lord Qian with my own hands. β
Duan Fei said, took out a golden Double Dragon Token from his arms, and slowly put it on the table at hand.
"Imperial Power Order, this is the Qincha token!" Qian Tang stood up violently, and asked with a panicked face.
"Yes, before the minister changed his route, he ordered someone to send the token to the Nanling Palace, and naturally he was ordered by the emperor to let the Nanling Palace's office investigate the missing official silver. β
"That'...... General Duan is Lord Qincha? The lower officials have seen Lord Qincha, and what is the dispatch of the Lord, although he commands. β
Seeing this, Lu Sheng hurriedly stood up.
Duan Fei hurriedly stood up and shook his head, "My lord misunderstood, the palace asked me to send the imperial power transfer order to Suzhou Mansion, which is to let my lord investigate the theft of official silver." So, you're the Chincha!"
"Me?" Qian Tang was stunned. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this Nanling Palace? He is the prefect of the ruling side, and after the typhoon, the people have only only halfway through the settlement. There are still many things that need to be handled by Qian Tang personally, and there is no way to get out.
This situation should be known to the Nanling Palace.
Suddenly, Qiantang's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Lu Sheng beside him, and suddenly understood in his heart.
No wonder early in the morning, Duan Fei wanted to call Lu Sheng too. If you really want to let yourself take over, why wait for Lu Sheng to be called? And if you directly hand over the order to Lu Sheng, you are afraid that you will not be happy in your heart.
King Nanling was really thoughtful, and handed over the Qin order to himself, and then handed it over to Lu Sheng, and he couldn't find the slightest fault in the process.
Thinking of this, a smile rose on Qian Tang's face, "General Duan, my Suzhou Mansion is in ruins, and there are still many things that I need to deal with, and I am afraid that I will be powerless to investigate this case."
However, since this money is given to the Suzhou government, it is also our responsibility to recover it. In this way, Lord Lu Sheng and Lord Lu are the chief of the Criminal Department of Suzhou Prefecture, and he has a lot of experience in criminal investigation. β
