Chapter 262: Official Silver
"The child in Zong Xue's womb is the county magistrate of Gaoyi County, and it is also the county magistrate of Gaoyi County who ordered the mayor to kill Zong Xue's mother and son, so what role does the Gaoyi county magistrate play in this ghost drum case?
The death of Zong Li, the owner of Xinyue Inn, and the murder of the mayor of the town, is there someone who wants to avenge Zong Xueming's wrongs, or is there some news that the Gaoyi County Commander is killing people.
This case is really getting more and more puzzling.
Gu Yunfei and Shen Jiuyuan went to catch the suspect with the arrest speed, but they came back with such a result. The two of them were a little frustrated, but Yan Suwen discovered an even more amazing secret from the stack of letters that Gu Yunfei brought back.
"Can there have been cases of theft of official silver in Gaoyi County and Wuliu Town?"
"Official silver?" Gu Yunfei suddenly became interested: "The official silver has been stolen!" How is this possible. The official silver was locked in the treasury of the government, and the outside of the treasury was heavily guarded. I didn't say that ordinary snitches, even those with strong martial arts like me, may not be able to bring the official money out of the official treasury. ”
"It's definitely not okay to rob openly." Yan Su asked and pinched the letter: "But if the inside and the outside are combined, and other methods are used, maybe this impossible will become possible." Husband, tell me, has there ever been a theft of official silver in Gaoyi County and Wuliu Town? ”
"No, there has been no theft of official silver in this vicinity, only one case of loss of official silver."
"What's the difference between being stolen and being lost?"
"Theft is theft, and if it is lost, there is an element of accident. Moreover, what was lost was not the official silver in the official treasury, but the disaster relief silver allocated by the imperial court. ”
"Disaster relief silver?"
"It's disaster relief money, and it should have been eight years ago. At that time, many towns including Wuliu Town were flooded and the people were displaced, and the imperial court was sympathetic to the people's feelings and allocated two thousand taels of silver in batches for disaster relief. This first batch of 70,000 taels of silver was on a dry road, escorted by the Praetorian Guards, all the way, and directly sent to Gaoyi County, the closest to Wuliu Town. At that time, it seems that the person in charge of disaster relief was the current county magistrate of Gaoyi County. The second batch of 100,000 taels of silver, because it was in time, took the waterway, but because of the unstable water conditions, the ship transporting the official silver overturned, and the officers and soldiers on board and the 100,000 taels of silver all sank to the bottom. The third batch of 30,000 taels of silver, which was personally escorted by Tobe Shangshu, also arrived safely. In the end, it was confirmed by the household department that except for the 100,000 taels of silver that sank to the bottom, the remaining 100,000 taels were all used for relief to the victims. Because it was a flood, the matter was not resolved, and no further investigation was pursued. Madam, why did you bring this up all of a sudden? ”
"It wasn't that I mentioned it suddenly, but I saw something. Husband, look. Yan Suwen opened the letter and pointed it out to Gu Changfeng.
"Isn't this letter wonderfully written?"
"What's wonderful? I'll take a look. Gu Yunfei heard it and snatched the letter away at once.
"Is General Gu literate? Don't be wonderful, but you can see a lot of strangeness. ”
"You know, you see." Gu Yunfei handed the letter to Shen Jiu.
After asking Gu Changfeng and Yan Suqing, Shen Jiu opened the letter and glanced at it roughly: "This letter is indeed a little weirdly written. It seems to be talking about an inconsequential matter, but the word official and silver are mentioned many times in this letter. Why does the mayor of Wuliu Town frequently mention the word official silver with the county order of Gaoyi County? ”
"Not only did I mention the official bank, but I also mentioned a place that seems to be very strange." Yan Su asked and pointed to a name in the letter: "Guanyin Temple, listen to the name, it should be a temple." ”
"Guanyin, Guanyin Temple, Guanyin Temple, this Guanyin Temple, shouldn't it be covered with the official silver of the imperial court? Isn't the county magistrate of Gaoyi County and the mayor of Wuliu Town keen to burn incense and worship Buddha? ”
"Do you have a map of here?"
Yan Su asked originally to see where this Guanyin Temple was, but she didn't want to let her see more strange things after the map was expanded.
"Do you know where the ship carrying the official silver capsized?"
"It should be here."
"It's not like a dangerous shoal."
"It's not, we had doubts at the time, but the flood was different from now. At that time, the household department also sent people to investigate here, but did not find anything suspicious, and did not find a single survivor, and could not understand the situation when the official ship capsized, so the investigation did not continue. ”
"This is the place where the official ship transporting the disaster silver overturned, this is the residence of the mayor of Wuliu Town, and this is the Guanyin Temple, these three seem to be on the same line."
"What does an online stand for?" Gu Yunfei asked.
"I don't know, but we can go to the Guanyin Temple. I heard that Guanyin is a child mother, or else, let's go to worship, let Guanyin Niangniang send us a lively, lovely, smart and healthy child. ”
"Master, I think Madame's proposal is good." Gu Yunfei smashed Shen Jiu with his arm: "What do you think?" ”
"As long as you're not too tired along the way, that's fine."
"Then according to Madame's, let's go to this Guanyin Temple to have a look."
"Aren't you going to say goodbye?" Youbai asked suspiciously.
"My wife and I have healthy, smart and lovely children. As for whether you are alive or not, it depends on whom. If you follow your wife, you must be lively. If you follow me, then not necessarily. "Chinese Library
"I think what the master said is reasonable, our little son, that must be the dragon among people."
"Who said it was the little boy, maybe the little lady."
"That's the phoenix among men."
"General Gu Xiao is really good at talking." Youbai glanced at him and pulled the corner of Jiang Li's clothes: "Sister Jiang has to be careful in the future, so as not to be deceived by his rhetoric." ”
Early the next morning, Gu Changfeng took Yan Su to ask, Gu Yunfei, Jiang Li and Shen Jiuhao went straight to Guanyin Temple, Youbai did not come with him, but went to Tongfu Inn to stay with Errong.
They came to the Guanyin Temple, parked the carriage and horses at the gate of the temple, and entered the courtyard.
The Guanyin Temple in front of them seemed to be a little different from what they imagined, not only did it not have the slightest appearance of incense, but it looked a little dilapidated. After half a circle, it seems that only the main hall is still clean.
"In this temple, even half a monk can't see it." Jiang Li looked around vigilantly: "Gu Yunfei, you go and look for it, and catch a monk for me." ”
"Miss Jiang, can we learn a little bit from Madame when we talk, the light, slow and leisurely kind. We are here to burn incense and worship the Buddha, not to rob the temple, your mouth is to catch a monk. I know, you want to ask for news, I don't know, I thought you wanted to catch a monk and go back to be a husband. ”
"I just want to catch a monk and go back to be a husband, what's wrong? Do you have an opinion? ”
"No opinion, how can I have an opinion. The monk is good, and the monk is pure. Say, do you want a sixty-year-old monk or a teenage monk? ”
"Gu Yunfei, are you itching?" Jiang Li said, and a flying knife stabbed towards Gu Yunfei with a "whoosh".
"Master, take a look, look at this Jiang girl next to you, is this an evil spirit, or someone has dropped her bag halfway. This rough temperament, where does he still have half the potential to be a secret guard. Jiang Li, let me tell you, don't come here, don't think I really can't beat you. ”
"Let's see!" Jiang Li directly put on a fighting posture, which frightened Gu Yunfei and quickly used light skills to escape.
"This Gu Yunfei is really a talent, and he was stunned to stimulate our pure-hearted, cold-hearted and indifferent Jiang girl into this." Yan Suwen whispered to Gu Changfeng: "Husband, please spare more time in the future and take care of him." This is about to be a general, so crazy, what can I do? ”
"Yunfei has always been like this, but when he is serious, he will never make a mistake."
"When the husband is serious, it is when there is a war, but I am talking about his life's events. If he wants to continue to mess around like this and leave Jiang Li angry, I don't care. This is a long way to chase his wife, who chases who knows. ”
"Madame has been chased, or has Madame been chased?"
"Nope!" Yan Su asked and denied: "But if I haven't experienced it, it doesn't mean I don't know." Let me tell you secretly, I haven't read a thousand copies of this story of chasing my wife, but there are also 999 copies, and most of the people who chase my wife will be miserable. ”
"Has that lady read the book of chasing her husband?"
"Nope!" Yan Suwen replied more simply: "What am I doing watching that when I'm idle?" I'm not going to chase anyone. ”
"It's a good thing Madame didn't see it." Gu Changfeng sighed softly.
Gu Yunfei walked around the Guanyin Temple before he found a monk in a side hall who was kowtowing there with his butt pouting.
"Hey, master, little master?"
When Gu Yunfei got closer, he found that the monk was not kowtowing and chanting, but seemed to be doing some trick of covering his ears and stealing the bell, and muttered in his mouth: "You can't see me, you can't see me." ”
"Can't see you? The master saw you at a glance. Gu Yunfei felt strange, stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
The monk quickly covered his face with his hands, and continued to mutter: "You can't see me, you can't see me." ”
"Don't talk about it, not only can you see it, but you can see it clearly. Can't see what I am? It was also written by the Buddha of your family. ”
"Don't kill me, I'm not a monk, I'm not a monk here." The monk was still covering his face, but he was so frightened that he cried: "Don't kill me, I don't know anything, I just came to eat in this Guanyin Temple." ”
"Let's make it clear, what is mixed rice to eat!"
The monk took his hand down, saw that it was an unfamiliar face, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he saw the sword in Gu Yunfei's hand again. I almost fainted after a glance.
"Wake up, wake up, if you don't wake up again, I can stab me with a knife."
"Wake up, wake up, I'm awake now." The monk knelt down with his legs soft: "Uncle spares his life, the little one doesn't know anything, and the little one is not a monk in this Guanyin Temple, the little one is a monk, just to eat a mouthful of food." ”
