Chapter 21: Guilty of Petition

Suddenly hearing Tang Hong's words, Li Yu's face changed greatly!

The two led 5,000 soldiers to Chizhou, and they were careful along the way, never slacking off, even in the 10,000-horse army.

finally escorted the silver two and the military quartermaster into Chizhou, but the silver two disappeared, how could Li Yu not be deeply shocked?

Huo Ran stood up, and Li Yu asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" After the ambush just now, didn't you check it? The silver and the two military quarters have never been missing, why is the silver two gone in less than a hundred miles? ”

"The last general also didn't understand, after the ambush, when the silver was checked, the last general urged on the side, and never saw any abnormality, but when he was just handed over to the warehouse, he found that the silver in the box was missing, so he hurriedly came to His Royal Highness, and asked His Highness to check and decide." Tang Hong was sweating profusely and said while wiping his sweat.

In a sense, although he Tang Hong was his deputy, because Li Yu had no experience at all, he became the main person in charge of escorting the quartermaster in Beijing.

His Royal Highness came out to practice, but it was just a formality, and the main responsibility was still on him Tang Hong.

Moreover, the royal family often abandons the pawn to protect the car, in terms of the status of the sixth highness, even if he is wrong, he is still the respect of the prince, how can he be compared with the prince as a small general?

Because of this, he was in a hurry, and every inch was already in chaos.

His brows furrowed deeply, he took a deep breath, Li Yu pondered for a long time, took two steps forward, and said to Lu Jiang on the side: "General Lu, let's go and take a look, this matter is very strange." ”

Lu Jiang also got up at this moment, and said with his eyebrows: "In the place under my jurisdiction, if something like this happens, it will be difficult to escape the blame, Your Highness, don't worry, let's go and see it first." ”

Li Yu bowed his head and immediately rushed to the unloading place with Tang Hong and Lu Jiang.

The warehouse in the city is in the northwest corner of the palace, which is relatively secluded and heavily guarded.

A group of three people came to the warehouse, and Li Yu walked quickly to the truck and looked inside the truck.

The lid of the wooden box had been opened by the soldiers at this moment, and the inside was wet, but the silver was missing.

Reached into the box and touched it, and when he withdrew his hand, Li Yu's brows were deeply locked.

Tang Hong and Lu Jiang saw Li Yu frowning, I don't know what he found, but when they came over to look, they saw a thin layer of silver white on Li Yu's palm.

"What's, what is this?" Tang Hong asked with a pale face.

"It's silver, but someone has manipulated it, and the silver has turned into silver water, and it flows out of the hole on the side in the bumps of the vehicle." Li Yu sighed, the essence in his eyes flickered, and his gaze wandered over the soldiers around him.

Although he now believes that there are ghosts and gods in the world, in terms of the things in front of him, he does not believe that the disappearance of the silver is the work of ghosts and gods.

Just now he touched it, and his hands were covered with wet silver-white things, and he smelled it slightly, and he had already concluded that it was the smell of aqua regia.

In his previous life, as a special soldier, he was quite familiar with chemistry and physics.

The molecular properties of silver are the most active of the metals, and although the molecule is stable, it can be dissolved under certain circumstances.

At this moment, there was a smell of aqua regia in the box, and he believed that someone must have put a strong sulfuric acid substance in the box, causing a large amount of silver to dissolve, and then it became silver water, which flowed out of the box.

It's just that Li Yu now has a problem that he can't explain, that is, sulfuric acid is quite corrosive, and once it comes into contact with other items, it will inevitably cause the items to be dissolved, or in the language of the people, it will burn things.

However, the box in front of him, as well as the vehicle carrying the goods, were not damaged at all, only the silver was dissolved, which was the most surprising thing for Li Yu.

"Sixth Highness, what the hell is going on?" Lu Jiang also approached at this moment, looked at Li Yu's palm, and asked in surprise.

"There must be a spy in our army who moved his hands and feet into the box containing the silver taels, and put a large amount of acidic drugs, causing the silver taels to turn into silver water." Li Yu shook his head helplessly and said.

Li Yu couldn't explain to these two ancients at this time, if he said a lot of chemical formulas, I am afraid that these two would be like listening to a book from heaven.

Even if Li Yu explained it like this, the two generals were also confused by the second monk, after all, in their minds, silver could only be smelted by furnace fire, how could it be in the box, melted with medicine, and turned into silver water.

Seeing that both of them had a confused look in their eyes, Li Yu sighed, turned around and asked the soldiers behind him: "Are all boxes like this?" ”

"Yes, Sixth Highness." A soldier on a dump truck replied.

Something big happened, and the entire people who escorted the silver and silver quartermasters had an inexplicable fear at this moment.

Li Yu saw fear in the soldier's eyes, a fear of reverence for ghosts.

With a cold smile, Li Yu raised his head and thought about it, then called a soldier, pointed to the military supplies of the brigade behind him, and said, "Go over and see if the military supplies inside are in good condition." ”

The soldier received the order, walked quickly to the quartermaster convoy behind, carefully checked for a while, and then hurried back, and said with a frightened face: "Sixth Highness, it's not good, the military supplies have been gnawed by insects." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Li Yu's eyes jumped, although he had already thought that since the silver had turned into silver water, there should be not much military supplies left.

But when he heard the exact news, Li Yu's heart was still shaken.

And Tang Hong and Lu Jiang's faces became extremely difficult to look at.

As military generals, how could they have encountered such a thing, silver taels and military supplies can be robbed, but it is impossible to disappear, and military supplies are unlikely to be eaten by insects and ants quickly.

"Okay, everything is taken out, put in the sun to dry, insects and ants are killed, the military supplies are not completely destroyed, they are all packed back into the box, and there is no need to move them into the warehouse, just put them back in the car as they are." Li Yu was silent for a moment, and then gave an order.

The soldiers received the order and went separately.

"Sixth Highness, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Tang Hong asked sweating profusely at the moment.

"There is no way, I can only go back to Beijing to ask for the guilt, but there is something strange, we must verify the details, find out the spies, and bring them back to pay the errand." Li Yu said with a solemn face, while his eyes were wandering around.

Hearing Li Yu say this, Tang Hong's face became even more difficult to look at.

Returning to Beijing to ask for guilt, both of them are not guilty, Li Yu, as a prince, may make a big deal small, but what about himself?

Li Yu seemed to see what he was thinking, and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm responsible for everything, and besides, if something happens on this trip, it must be aimed at me, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
