Chapter 379: Be Cleared
"You-" Xu Zhiqing snorted, her face flushed, and she was far away from him, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.
This is called the wicked still need the wicked to grind, Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, took Luo Ning's little hand, followed behind Hu Bugui, and walked towards the tent.
After the loss of the official silver, Luo Min had already ordered the whole city of Jining to be on guard, and this camp tent was the top priority, and he sent elite soldiers to guard it overnight, and no one could enter without the imperial order, so the traces of the official silver after the loss of the night were very complete.
After entering the camp tent through layers of checkpoints, Lin Wanrong glanced up, only to see that the camp was stationed on the side of the roadside of the east-west official road, and it was very convenient to come and go. In the camp, hundreds of white tents were connected one after another, and they were neatly arranged in all directions.
Hu Bugui led Lin Wanrong to the middle of the camp, pointed to the miscellaneous rut marks on the ground and said, "General Lin, Miss Xu, please take a look." β
Lin Wanrong glanced at it, and saw that the ruts all over the ground were chaotic and crooked, and they were most concentrated at the feet of the four of them. Hu Bugui hugged his fists and said: "According to the observation of the subordinates, the car prints here are dense, and the official silver should have been kept here the day and night." Judging from the marks on the wheels, although it is messy, the ruts in the east-west direction are very obvious. β
"According to General Hu, the vehicle carrying the silver should have gone in the east-west direction?" Xu Zhiqing said softly, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Hu Bugui nodded, squatted down, pressed the loess crushed by the carriage with his fingers, and muttered: "If the cart is empty, the cart will not sink so deep into the soil." Judging from the prints of the wagon, the carriage heading in the east and west directions should never be empty, but a carriage full of weight. As for whether the car is loaded with silver, I can't guarantee it. β
Hu Bugui's observation was subtle, and there was some truth in what he said, judging from the marks left behind, the carriage was indeed full of goods and went in the east and west directions. However, 5,000 men and horses transported 350,000 taels of silver, which was not very rich, and they were frightened when they had secretly robbed the silver, so why did they have to divide their troops into two routes? Is it just to confuse the court whether they are going east or west?
Lin Wanrong and Xu Zhiqing glanced at each other, and both of them read some doubts from each other's eyes, this thing is very strange, and many places make people unable to figure it out, but they don't know where the problem is.
"Lin, Lin San," Miss Xu spoke, but her face was slightly red, probably remembering the strange tonic on his body again: "You said that the five thousand officers and soldiers who robbed the silver have all been poisoned, is this true or false?" β
"It shouldn't be fake, the surroundings of Jining have been blocked, and they have been searched at various levels, but they have not found the shadow of these 5,000 people, they are not heaven, then there is only escape." Lin Wanrong sighed, thinking of the words of the widow Sasaki, and felt bad in her heart.
"That's weird." Xu Zhiqing's eyebrows twisted slightly, and Ruyu's cheeks were full of doubt: "Since these five thousand people have turned their backs on the imperial court and escorted the official silver, why do the people behind the scenes still have such a poisonous hand?" β
This question has always puzzled Lin Wanrong, and he can't find an answer for the time being, so he doesn't think about it, and slowly walks forward along the imprint of the wheel. After walking far, I saw a row of stables in front of me, and there were quite a few pieces of cut hay in the stables.
Lin Wanrong picked up the hay and rummaged through it, and said strangely: "Brother Hu, come and see, is this grain and grass for horses?" β
Hu Bugui had already inspected it, nodded and said, "It is used to feed war horses." These soldiers came from Hangzhou, and the war horses were not suitable for the hay in Shandong, and they also asked Lord Luo for grain and grass. β
"Oh, there's such a thing?" Lin Wanrong said in surprise.
Luo Ning stood beside him, and nodded lightly when he heard this: "There is indeed such a thing." On that day, they were going to camp in the city, and when the commander of the army reported to his father, he said that there was a shortage of grain and grass, and they needed to replenish some in Jining. Daddy inspected the scene and found that their war horses could only last for one day, so he agreed to their request. But the grain and grass had not yet arrived, but they had already robbed the money and fled. β
"Sustain a day?" Lin Wanrong showed a knowing smile on her face, took Luo Ning's little hand and said with a grin: "Ning'er, you are not mistaken, right?!" β
Luo Ning's face turned red, and he said angrily: "People were idle and bored at the time, I heard that 350,000 taels of silver arrived, I have never seen such a amount of silver, and I followed my father to peek at it." β
Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "It's good to peek, it's wonderful." Ning'er, eldest brother, I have also made a lot of silver, and you will take a peek at home in the future, and the eldest brother will peek at you by the way. Luo Ningxiao's face blushed, and she hurriedly lowered her head happily.
Seeing that the two of them were public**, Xu Zhiqing coughed lightly a few times, which was regarded as a reminder to him. Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, pointed to the grass pile in the field and said, "Brother Hu, look at it, how many war horses can eat this grain and grass?" β
Hu Bugui observed carefully, shook his head and said: "Judging from the experience of his subordinates, these grains and grasses are at most a day's ration for a thousand war horses. β
"That's right." Lin Wanrong clapped her hands happily and gave Hu Bugui a thumbs up: "Brother Hu, good vision." β
Hu Bugui was puzzled: "General Lin, what have you discovered?" Humble and dull, please ask the general to speak clearly. β
Xu Zhiqing thought for a moment, and a trace of surprise suddenly appeared on her face: "Lin San, you mean, their war horses don't have food and grass at all?" β
This girl reacted so quickly, Lin Wanrong glanced at Miss Xu in surprise, Xu Zhiqing was also looking at him, and when she saw him glancing at herself, she hurriedly snorted and lowered her head again.
"Exactly, exactly, Miss Xu Bingxue is smart, a little bit thorough, Lin someone I admire the limbs to the ground." Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Not only are they not enough food and grass, but when they left at night, they didn't even feed the war horses. β
Hu Bugui sighed and said in surprise: "General Lin is right. Our cavalry and war horses are accompanied by each other, and there are rules for feeding the horses, and the war horses can eat as much hay as they can. The 5,000 men and horses were obviously short of food and grass, but when they left, they left piles of hay in the stables, which showed that they were in a very hurry, and the horses were not fed at all. β
"Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, you can't pull it away by manpower, it all depends on the war horses to drag it away, but these war horses can't go far at all." Xu Zhiqing's brows relaxed, and her face was suddenly full of joy, and she said coquettishly: "I understand, it's not that they left in a hurry." It's that they're not ready to go far at all!! These car wheel marks are deliberately made by them to attract our attention and divert our thinking. Silver, silver must be hidden around here. β
"Sister Zhiqing, is what you said true?" Luo Ning's small mouth opened slightly, with an unbelievable look on his face.
Xu Zhiqing sneered and pointed at Lin Wanrong beside her, glancing at her beautiful eyes. Snorted: "You ask your family Lin San, he likes to pretend to be a ghost the most." Obviously, he was confident a long time ago, but he deliberately came to tease us with suspicion. β
To say that this Xu Zhiqing is really not ordinary smart, Lin Wanrong just said the beginning, she has already speculated the matter ** is not far from ten, no wonder she can fight the Hu people on the front line of her daughter, with her flexible mind, there are few people in the world who can compare with her.
"Big brother," Luo Ning hugged Lin Wanrong's arm in surprise: "Is the silver really hidden around here?" β
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly: "According to Miss Xu's reasoning, theoretically speaking, it should be like this. β
Luo Ning pulled up her little feet, twisted her delicate body, turned around and ran back, Lin Wanrong grabbed her and said, "Ning'er, what are you doing?" β
"Big brother, I'm going to call someone to dig up the silver, even if I dig three feet into the ground here, I must find it." Luo Ning pursed her lips and said firmly.
This girl is really an anxious child, Lin Wanrong shook her head and smiled helplessly: "Ning'er, we are now speculating that the silver is around here, but we didn't say that it is under our feet." β
Luo Ning was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Big brother, what do you mean-"
Lin Wanrong walked a few steps slowly, and muttered: "This is the south gate of Jining City, and they will enter the city from the north, no matter how stupid they are, it is impossible for the silver to be smuggled into the city." The east-west direction is the official road, and it is the direction they lure us to follow, which is naturally not right. In this way, there is only one south leftβ"
"Southside?" Luo Ning raised his head and looked south, only to see that the vast Weishan Lake could not be seen at a glance, the shadowy mountain shadows were shrouded in the hazy night, the waves rolled up by the breeze gently slapped against the embankment, and there was a burst of tidal sound. Luo Ning frowned, and said softly: "Could it be that this silver is hiddenβ"
"Yes, it's hidden in Weishan Lake." Xu Zhiqing took her hand and said softly: "This place is only a few steps away from Weishan Lake, as long as there is a boat, you can easily transport the silver to the lake, and sink into the lake on the spot, without knowing it." In order to hide people's eyes, the person behind the curtain deliberately divided the 5,000 soldiers and horses into two ways to attract our attention, and then used his poisonous hand to kill people and kill people. β
"Hu doesn't return-" Lin Wanrong suddenly shouted.
"The last general!" Hu Bugui hurriedly clenched his fists and responded.
"You led 2,000 men and horses to search along the shore of Weishan Lake, focusing on asking the surrounding fishermen whether there were any civilian boats requisitioned recently and whether there had been any abnormalities in the lake. As soon as there is news, report it immediately! β
"Order!" Hu Bugui turned around and hurried to arrange.
Lin Wanrong stood on the shore of Weishan Lake, feeling the damp breeze caressing her cheeks, and sighed slowly. He was eighty percent sure that the 350,000 taels of silver were hidden in Weishan Lake. This Weishan Lake is several hundred miles in circumference, several times larger than the cities and counties around Jining, and the 350,000 taels of silver, although it is a large piece on land, once it sinks into the lake, it is a needle in a haystack. Damn, I don't know who came up with this scheme, it's really exquisite, one ring after another, even if I finally guessed that the silver was hidden in Weishan Lake, but it was a dog biting a hedgehog, and there was nowhere to put my mouth, could it be that I drained the water of Weishan Lake?
Luo Ning stood behind him, not daring to say a word, for fear of disturbing his thoughts. Although Xu Zhiqing is smart and clever, but when she encounters such a needle in a haystack, she can't find a way for a while, looking at his lonely back standing there, thinking of his evil deeds along the way, an unreal feeling suddenly rose in her heart: Are these two Lin San really the same person?
I don't know how long he stood up, a warm and soft feeling came from his back, and his hot and fragrant delicate body clung to his vest as if it was on fire, Lin Wanrong hurriedly turned around, but saw Luo Ning take off his armor. Wearing only a thin long skirt, she hugged his broad back tightly, pressed her cheeks against his shoulder blades, her eyes shot out of tenderness, and she said softly: "Big brother, Ning'er likes you, and if you like it, you can die for you!" β
"You stupid girl," Lin Wanrong hurriedly unbuttoned her coat and wrapped her soft delicate body: "It's cold, what are you doing when you take off your armor, what if you catch a cold?" β
"Ning'er is not afraid, Ning'er wants to give warmth to the eldest brother." Luo Ning smiled gently, her face was a little shy and firm, she hugged him tightly and put his big hand on her chest: "Big brother, you touch, how fast Ning Er's heart is beating!" β
The soft and smooth feeling came down his fingertips, and two soft bulges clamped his big hand tightly in the middle, and the milk-washed skin was smooth and greasy to the touch, and it could be broken by blowing. Luo Ning closed her eyes gently, her ruddy little mouth opened and fell, and her plump breasts rose and fell sharply, making his big hand hidden in his chest bounce from time to time. Lin Wanrong's heart jumped a few times, and her big hand slid on her chest, but it was covering the soft tender meat, and the two acacia red beans were tall and protruding, and under the friction of his rough big hand, they kept beating like a frightened rabbit, touching his palm.
"Ning'erβ" He swallowed his saliva sharply, and gently ground the delicate red beans with his palm. Luo Ning whispered, and collapsed softly in his arms, her ruddy mouth opened slightly, panting, and exhaled an orchid-like aromatic breath: "Big brother, Ning'er is yours, it will always be yours-"
"Cough, cough-" Seeing that the relationship between the two of them was hot and there was no one around, if they didn't stop it, no one knew what would happen, Xu Zhiqing, who was standing not far from the two, was beating in her heart, her cheeks were hot like fire, she wanted to leave but couldn't move, and hurriedly coughed twice to remind the two.
Luo Ning was hot, he had long forgotten that there was a sister Zhiqing next to him, and when he came to his senses, he saw that Sister Zhiqing's cheeks were flushed, and she was looking at herself with a smile, she exclaimed "ah", and hurriedly hid behind Lin Wanrong, her beautiful big eyes flashed, and her face was red as if she was about to drip water, and she pounced on the back of her eldest brother, and she didn't dare to raise her head again.
"Aha, the moon is so round tonight-" Lin Wanrong laughed grinningly, pretending not to see Xu Zhiqing's white eyes, and said with a shy old face. Luo Ning hid behind her eldest brother, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, what moon is really round, it's only the beginning of the month!
This person is really incorrigible, Xu Zhiqing snorted in her nose, and when she saw Luo Ning's flushed face, she smiled slightly and beckoned: "Ning'er, come here." β
"Sister Zhiqing-" Luo Ning responded timidly, her head going down to her chest. Lin Wanrong gently tugged at her palm, and snickered: "Ning'er, what are you afraid of her doing, we are husband and wife, and everything we do is just and bright." This girl likes to make light bulbs, bad people and good things. β
Although Luo Ning didn't understand what a light bulb was, when she saw her eldest brother's laughing expression, she also gained courage in her heart, nodded lightly, regardless of Xu Zhiqing's surprised expression, put her small mouth to his ear, and said shyly: "Big brother, Ning Er doesn't want to wait for a moment, I want to be your wife." Do you want me? β
Who do I want to say this? Lord Lin smiled happily, and nodded as if a chicken pecked rice: "Yes, yes!" I want it every day! β
Luo Ning mustered all the courage and hugged his neck, her little face was flushed, and her voice was as thin as a gnat: "Big brother, Ning'er is waiting for you in the room!" You must come! β
After saying a word, she didn't dare to look at Lin Wanrong again, she turned around as if flying, grabbed Miss Xu's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Zhiqing, let's go quickly!" β
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhiqing asked strangely, how could this girl give up her lover?
"Don't ask, let's just go." Miss Xu hadn't finished her sentence, but she felt that Luo Ning beside her seemed to have infinite strength, so she actually pulled herself and ran up, and even Lin San couldn't catch up.
This is a trouble, let the girl take the initiative, how can I be embarrassed? Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, suddenly remembered an important question, and hurriedly shouted: "Ning'er, which room do you live in?!" I'm afraid I won't be able to find a place? β
Luo Ning was so shocked that she almost fell, she stomped her feet hatefully, her heart was shy and sweet, and in Xu Zhiqing's shocked eyes, she replied softly: "Next door to Sister Xu!" β
Lord Lin was stunned for a while, next door to Sister Xu? Then where does Sister Xu live? Luo Cainu is really extraordinary, and her words are all mysterious.
Seeing that the figure of the second daughter was about to disappear from sight, Lin Wanrong shouted loudly: "Ning'er, remember, you must wash white!" Be sure to wash white! β
"What does it mean to wash white?!" Miss Xu whispered to Ning Er beside her.
Luo Ningmian was enthusiastic and heartbeat, only feeling that the eldest brother had lost his strength with one sentence, and took Xu Zhiqing's hand and said reluctantly: "Wash white, wash white, oh, this should be the dialect of the eldest brother's family, it may mean washing hands." β
"Wash your hands? What a strange! Xu Zhiqing shook her head and chuckled when she heard this: "Then I will also go back to wash my name." β
Seeing Luo Ning running away with Miss Xu, and the two daughters' swaying postures, Lord Lin felt unbearable in his heart, hehe** a few times, strode away, and went straight to the mansion.
