(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" , the continuous sound of porcelain shattering sounded, and the Shangshu room had become a mess. This is the first tea bowl porcelain bottle that Kangxi has broken, but it still hasn't extinguished the anger in his heart. A few meters away, there were more than a dozen important ministers of the court who were trembling and trembling, but all of them lowered their heads, and no one dared to squeak, leaving Kangxi alone to get angry. At this time, whoever speaks first will immediately become the target of Kangxi's venting, and they have been up and down one by one for ten years, and no one will be so stupid.

After a while, there was nothing to fall in the room, and Kangxi sat back on the couch with hatred, this was the second time he had dropped something after getting the silver and being robbed. "What are you doing on your knees? Kneeling and kneeling, can't there be any useful building except kneeling? Get up and speak! ”

The ministers staggered to their feet, and the few old ministers behind them also took the time to rub their knees, kneeling for so long, a handful of old bones couldn't stand it. The Suo Etu people in front of them were not so good, they were in front of Kangxi, although their knees were also very uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces. "The emperor is angry! Take care of your dragon's body! After all, Suo Etu is the national abbot, and at this time, Kangxi's anger has disappeared a lot, he has to stand up and say a few words first, but he doesn't know what to say when the words come to his mouth, so he just cares about his son-in-law's body.

Kangxi didn't give his father-in-law face. "Calm your anger, how do you tell me to calm my anger? Yes! Three million taels of silver were robbed under your noses, and you didn't find any clues for two days, that's not thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels. It's three million! Now half of the country is lost. Don't you know how much tax money you have collected this summer? Now I finally have these three million taels for emergency. But there is such a big problem, what should you do?! ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, Mingzhu looked left and right and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minions have sent a large number of people to investigate around, and they will not let go of the slightest clue, and they will soon have results." Three million taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is impossible for the robbers to take it away so lightly. Therefore, the slave thought, this silver definitely did not go far. ”

"Oh, you're so confident, is there any good news coming now?" Kangxi's eyes lit up and asked.

"Back to the emperor, according to the report below, the robbers hijacked the silver car and did not hide in the mountains, but changed to a waterway." Mingzhu replied. These Kangxi also knew that he didn't say much, so he continued to say quickly: "That river is called Juma River, which itself comes from the depths of Taihang Mountain and flows through Taihang Mountain. Due to the small amount of water in the headwaters of the Juma River, it is only slightly larger than the stream. But. There are springs flowing into the Juma River in various valleys along the banks of the Juma River, and then it collects into a large river. The source of the Juma River is in the territory of the source county of Zhili, from top to bottom, in the Grand Canyon of the Taihang Mountain Range, from west to east, flowing through Shidu, and can flow into the Bohai Sea when the water volume is large. Therefore, the minions concluded that the robbers must have gone downstream. Tianjin Bay is heavily guarded and fishing boats are banned, so they won't run anywhere. That is, last night, the following report was reported, and eight ships were found burned and sunk in the Daqing River section of Zuowei, Tianjin, and there was no silver in the sunken shipwreck, but it is certain that the silver must be on both sides of the river, carefully search, and there will be a harvest in a few days! ”

"Oh, why didn't you report such important news earlier?!" Most of the anxiety on Kangxi's face disappeared at once, revealing a hint of joy.

"The minion got the news that it was too late at night, and the minion was afraid that it would affect the master's rest, so for the sake of the dragon body, he prepared to report it this morning." Mingzhu replied in a whisper.

The big stone hanging under the hearts of the other ministers has also been put down a lot, and they are no longer as worried as before. "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, the Juma River is also called the South Juma River from the east of Baoding, and it is only less than two hundred miles into the Daqing River, so it should not be difficult to carefully inquire about the movements of passing ships along the river. The goal of three million taels of silver is not small, and these robbers will definitely not be able to escape. It's just that what the minister is worried about now is not that there is any money, but where this group of robbers is hiding, and whether they have mixed into the capital at this time! Chen Tingjing said.

His words made everyone's hearts that had been put down hang again. The guards and entourage of the silver cart are four or five hundred, and this can kill so many people and rob the silver cart quietly, at least the same number of people are needed, probably more. Obviously, these people must be well-trained, otherwise they wouldn't have done so cleanly. These people are hiding in the land of Gyeonggi, which can be described as a huge time bomb, and it is impossible to know when they will come to the imperial court again, causing even greater losses.

"What Master Chen said is reasonable. Your Majesty, the identity of this group of robbers is still uncertain, but it must be a thief, ordinary bandits do not have this ability, so these people must be Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong or one of the subordinates of the third prince of Zhu in the former Ming Dynasty. The slave thought that these people were the subordinates of the third prince of the former Ming Dynasty were the most likely, and he fled the last time he made trouble in the capital, but there were still some people who escaped from the capital with him, and these people are said to be hiding in the Taihang Mountains, and it is difficult to find out where the specific location is! Suo Etu didn't wait for the others to calm down, and quickly spoke.

The range of the Taihang Mountains is too large, spanning the four places of Beijing, Zhili, Shanxi and Henan, the mountain range starts from the West Mountain of the Beijing area in the north, extends to the Wangwu Mountain in the border area of Henan and Shanxi in the south, connects the Shanxi Plateau in the west, borders the North China Plain in the east, and stretches for more than 400 kilometers in the northeast-southwest direction. The scope of this Taihang Mountain Range is so wide that hiding two or three thousand people and horses is simply pediatric, and the eight of the later generations. Roadresistance. The total number of Japanese guerrillas hiding in the Taihang Mountain area was more than 350,000 people, and the devils couldn't find it, and now how could the Qing court find people who pretended to be the third prince of Zhu?

Kangxi also came back to his senses, he was just thinking about the robbery of the silver before, but he ignored such an important issue. "Chen Aiqing has a unique vision, this gang of thieves has penetrated deep into my Gyeonggi land, there are many of them and they are well-trained, and they are indeed a big problem for our henchmen. Mingzhu, you are now in charge of the defense of the capital, can you be sure that the capital will not go wrong? ”

"Back to the emperor, the daily patrol soldiers in the capital have doubled, and heavy troops have been stationed in the city, as long as those thieves dare to make trouble again, the slave will make him regret coming to this world!" Mingzhu immediately replied in the affirmative, at this time, the capital is indeed stationed with heavy troops, like the last time the third prince of Zhu made a rebellion, but the emperor and many princes and ministers were frightened, and they were at ease with more soldiers and horses.

"That's good, no matter whether they have infiltrated the capital or not, you still have to send someone to investigate carefully and find them out as soon as possible to get rid of future troubles!" (To be continued......)
