After Xiong Tingbi received Lu Qia's letter, he was stunned. Who is so bold as to dare to rob the silver rewarded by the imperial court. It is written that it was done by the Liao Gang, and the leader of the Liao Gang is Wang Yu's matter, and it is not a secret in Liaodong, and many people know it. Xiong Tingbi naturally knew better.

"Does Wang Yu have such courage?" Xiong Tingbi couldn't help muttering in his heart.

After pondering for a while, he asked the messenger to settle down and rest first, and then called someone to find Li Huaixin, and asked Li Huaixin to inform Wang Yu and hurry to Jingluo.

Wang Yu was practicing martial arts at home, and as soon as he heard that Lord Xiong was invited, he hurriedly took people out of the house and went to Xingyuan.

When he saw Lord Xiong in Xiong Tingbi's study, he was polite, and Xiong Tingbi said solemnly: "Wang Yu, I have something I want to inquire about with you. ”

"My lord, I don't know what happened?" Wang Yu saw that Xiong Tingbi's tone was wrong, and hurriedly asked humbly.

"The imperial court sent 500,000 taels of internal money...... Xiong Tingbi then took Lu Qia into Liaodong with 500,000 taels of silver, and said that he was robbed. In particular, it was mentioned that some of them were captured and confessed to being committed by the Liao Gang. He finally said: "Wang Yu, I heard that the leader of this Liao Gang seems to be you." ”

"Dashuai, it's true that the leader of the Liao Gang is a villain, but the villain will never dare to rob the silver issued by the imperial court. The villain had already told the people below that everything that was escorted by the official army was not allowed to be looted, no matter what it was. Besides, the matter you said is really strange, the officers and soldiers can catch prisoners, how can they let people snatch more than 200,000 taels of silver under their noses. This kind of thing, no one believes it. More than 200,000 taels of silver, how much is this, not a few thousand people can be taken away safely, there are so many people and horses, and the officers and soldiers who escorted the silver have not been destroyed, and a few more people have been arrested, just kidding! Wang Yu said bluntly.

"To be honest, I think there's something wrong with that. But now that the silver has indeed been robbed, and there is a live mouth in the hands of others, it must be done by your Liao Gang. I think Lu Qia will inevitably report this matter to the court, and the emperor will be furious, if he decrees that I will exterminate the Liao Gang and recover the silver, you say that I will not suppress it. Xiong Tingbi said.

Wang Yu also understands this truth, this kind of thing, even if Xiong Tingbi knows that there is a problem, he can't defend Wang Yu. If you still know the local help, it is really unreasonable. Once the imperial court issued an order, Xiong Tingbi could only carry it out.

"My lord, the whereabouts of this silver, the villain really doesn't know, but it's certain that it wasn't made by my Liao Gang. The villain also knows that the adult is embarrassed, once the imperial court really issues an order to let you exterminate the Liao Gang, there is no way, and the adult will have an explanation. The people of my Liao Gang will withdraw from Jinzhou. I, Wang Yu, also went to avoid the limelight. This matter is definitely someone framed my Liao Gang, I am bound to find out this person, if I am lucky to find out the matter, please also ask the adults to make the decision for me. Wang Yu said seriously.

"You can rest assured that if you can really find out who did it, no matter who this person is, Ben Shuai will make the decision for you." Xiong Tingbi said.

"Thank you so much."

In this matter, Xiong Tingbi could only find Wang Yu, even if he knew that Wang Yu was wronged. The so-called live mouth that Lu Qia caught, now that he insists that it was made by the Liao Gang, even when he saw him Xiong Tingbi, he would say so. In the hands of Lu Qia, it is impossible for Xiong Tingbi to transfer people to his side for retrial.

In contrast, Wang Yu does not play cards according to common sense, and he believes that Wang Yu may have a better way to find out the matter.

Wang Yu said goodbye and left, returned to the house to pass the order, and let all the people and horses of the Liao Gang in Jinzhou be evacuated, including himself, and also took his family to leave the mansion temporarily and find a safe place to settle.

Subsequently, Wang Yu summoned all the village owners and all the hall owners to a meeting.

He first told everyone about it to see if it was the work of his subordinates. Of course, this thing will not be done by his people, in the words of his subordinates, if we did it, it would be so unpleasant. And here in Liaodong, there are no other mountains, even if someone wants to fall into the grass, they are all thrown under their door, so it can't be the local ringing horse.

Wang Yu then said Xiong Tingbi's meaning, once the emperor decrees, the matter is very troublesome, and we have been wronged, so we have to find out the matter as soon as possible.

"Gang leader ......" At this time, Qu Yunchao clenched his fists and said: "This matter, according to the subordinates, is actually not complicated. ”

"How?" Wang Yu immediately looked at Qu Yunchao.

This old gentleman, although he doesn't know martial arts, is very knowledgeable, and he is definitely Wang Yu's brainstorm.

"What do you think, what kind of Gonggong Lu is, he just arrived in Liaodong by order, and he shouldn't be clear about the situation in Liaodong at all. This matter is clearly to blame us, a eunuch who doesn't know us, why should he blame us, the reason for this, I'm afraid it's very simple, there must be our enemy, united with Gonggong Lu, and did this. There are not many people who can contact Gonggong Lu, and if they are the enemy of the master, there are even fewer people. Therefore, according to his subordinates, there is only one possibility, that is, the tax superintendent Gao Gonggong did it. Qu Yunchao said eloquently.

"Makes sense." Wang Yu nodded, and then asked, "Mr. Qu, if this matter was done by a dog surnamed Gao, it seems to be very troublesome." We can't go to the tax supervisor yamen in Liaoyang to arrest him. ”

Qu Yunchao is also a little embarrassed, it is true, if he enters the tax supervision yamen to arrest people, whether it is justified or not, this is a rebellion.

At this stall, a young man ran in outside the door, he bowed down and said, "Qiqi Gang Master, Master Mao is here to find you." ”

"Hurry up, please...... No, I'll pick up ...... myself," Wang Yu said and stood up and walked outside.

The other hall masters followed him out of the living room.

Wang Yu's current residence is still in Liaoyang, but this house is on the west gate, which belongs to the direction of Mao Wenlong's military camp.

The Mao Ye mentioned by the subordinates is not Mao Wenlong, they all call Mao Wenlong as Master Mao and Mao Chenglu as Master Mao.

This time Mao Chenglu came over suddenly, Wang Yu expected that something must be wrong. As soon as he arrived outside the door, he saw Mao Chenglu waiting there, and Mao Chenglu immediately laughed when he saw Wang Yu coming out with so many people to greet him.

Everyone talked and laughed and politely after a long time, and then returned to the hall. Wang Yu asked Mao Chenglu if there was something wrong with this sudden departure.

Mao Chenglu said with a smile: "I have good news for you." ”

"What's the good news?" Wang Yu asked.

"The imperial court issued an order to remove the tax supervisor, and the old Zamao surnamed Gao will leave for Beijing tomorrow. Just now, General Li found his father-in-law and told his father-in-law that if you want to take revenge on the surname Gao, don't be on the ground in Liaodong. In addition, General Li also sent 500 soldiers to protect him from the customs, and when he heard about it, he was sent to Shanhaiguan, and the rest of the journey was not escorted. Mao Chenglu said.

"This is good news...... Wang Yu's face immediately showed a smile, this is really what he wants, he just wanted to find Gao Gonggong, but he was worried that he had no choice, this bastard was about to leave Liaoyang. It is naturally not very appropriate to start at the boundary of Liaodong, and it seems that you really have to wait until you enter the customs before starting. But then, Wang Yu was a little puzzled and said, "Li Huaixin, this guy, why is he thinking about it and talking to his father-in-law about this." ”

"Father-in-law said that this is most likely not what Mr. Li meant, but Lord Xiong hinted that he would report to you like this." Mao Chenglu said.

"That's good. Let this old thing live for a few more days, and when he is in the customs, we will clean him up. Wang Yu said with a laugh.

Immediately, Wang Yu asked Wang Liang to arrange manpower to be responsible for keeping an eye on Grandpa Gao's mansion, paying attention to Grandpa Gao's every move, and he must grasp all his movements. Then Wang Yu held a banquet and invited Mao Chenglu to have a drink in the house.

The next day, Wang Yu ordered all the men and horses to be careful and not to cause any trouble. Then, he ordered the elite 800 people from Heaven and Earth, entered the customs in four ways, and met at the Liaodong Dart Bureau in Shanhaiguan. After all, if Gao Gonggong wants to enter the customs, Shanhaiguan is also the only way for him.

Wang Yu and they walked fast, and after they arrived at Shanhaiguan, Gao Gonggong probably had two days to enter the customs. Wang Yu asked his men and horses to rest in Shanhaiguan temporarily, and he took Liu Changhe, Wu Dazhu, Wu Sanzhu, Wu Sizhu and other cronies out of the city to find a good place to ambush Gao Gonggong.

I ran far away, but I didn't find a place that was particularly suitable for an ambush. Wang Yu calculated the distance and finally decided to set the ambush location on a rock. Gao Gonggong and they walked slowly, and the old eunuch scraped a lot of money in Liaodong, and this time he brought it back, calculating the distance, and he could walk fifty or sixty miles in a day.

This place of a stone is just right, and it can only be reached at noon the next day after leaving Shanhaiguan, and it is a certain distance from Shanhaiguan, and it is impossible to harass the garrison in the city. After killing them, you can find a place to bury them on the spot without worrying about any problems.

After the clap, Wang Yu sent the horse out of the city to a stone to ambush and wait for the rabbit.

Besides, Gao Gonggong, since he left Liaoyang, he was escorted by 500 officers and soldiers sent by Li Huaixin, and there were 200 guards, escorting the money he had scavenged in Liaodong, and rushed to Shanhaiguan. Li Huaixin's men and horses were sent here, and as soon as they entered Shanhaiguan, they bid farewell to Gao Gonggong.

Gao Gonggong never thought that anyone would dare to rob him, you know, he is a tax eunuch sent by the imperial court, and daring to rob him is not equivalent to rebellion.

On the way from Shanhaiguan to the capital, it was peaceful, and there were no bandits. With two hundred guards on board, it was definitely enough. I stayed in Shanhaiguan for one night, and the next day I continued to rush and went straight to the capital.

They walked slowly, fifty or sixty miles a day. At noon the next day, as Wang Yu had planned, he arrived at a stone.

It's already September, and it's hot. The people under him were sweating profusely, and Gao Gonggong asked everyone to find a shady place to rest for a while, eat something and drink some water.
