"Shan Jiuci, but not the kind of person who is not well-behaved, since the beginning of Ying Tianfu, he has suffered countless losses in my hands, this time he has done his best, if it is so easy to see through, then he is not Shan Jiuci." Wen Tingzhan smiled softly.

This was the first time that Ye Shaoguang saw a cautious light in the eyes of Wen Tingzhan, who had always been strategic, and she knew that this time Shan Jiuci was not easy to deal with, and even they still couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Shan Jiuci's gourd.

She didn't ask Wen Tingzhan this question again, unexpectedly, she usually worried even if Wen Tingzhan returned a little late, but in the face of such a situation, she was extremely calm and not panicked at all. At this moment, she realized that she was more afraid of not seeing him than those intrigues and turbulent waves, as long as she could see him all the time, she felt that even if the sky fell apart, it was the same thing.

In the evening, Huguang's newly appointed political envoy and capital commander actually came to the door in person, and opened their mouths to apologize to Wen Tingzhan for today's negligence at the city gate.

"The two adults are polite, it was a good intention, and Wen received it." Wen Tingzhan said lightly.

The commander is nearly fifty years old, but he looks strong and strong, and he has a beard, and he is also surnamed Hu and called Hu Ting.

Hu Ting clenched his fists at Wen Tingzhan: "There happened to be a big incident in the camp today, and for some reason more than 100 soldiers suddenly vomited and diarrhea, so the old man went to the barracks in person, and then rushed back." Hou Ye is magnanimous, the beard is in mind, Hou Ye only needs to check the loss of taxes, the beard will definitely fully cooperate with Hou Ye, if Hou Ye wants to use people, the beard has no other words. ”

This tone is quite arrogant, Ye Shaoguang thought that Hu Ting would not be a good person, but after listening to his words at this time, he couldn't help but look at him in front of him, Wuyue is upright, the heavenly court is full, and he is really a loyal and courageous person, not a traitor inside.

"Since Mr. Hu mentioned the case of the loss of tax money, Mr. Hu might as well elaborate on it." Wen Tingzhan nodded and said, "It just so happens that Lord Hao is also here, the two of them are in important positions, and there are important things in the military camp, Lord Hao has just taken office, it is rare to gather in one place, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, so as not to delay the time of the two adults." ”

Hu Guangbu political envoy, surnamed Hao, single name and one Ren.

"Master Hou, in fact, this is really a bit mysterious." Hu Ting had an extremely aggrieved expression when he mentioned this matter, "Originally, I counted the tax money in front of Lord Liu, and I also signed the paperwork to Lord Liu at that time. As soon as the tax money entered my hands, it was not delayed for a day, and I immediately ordered the elite soldiers to be sent to the imperial capital in front of Lord Liu. But before this tax silver could leave the boundary of Huguang, it was intercepted. I have been the commander of Huguang for so many years, and I don't know how many times I escort taxes and taxes every year, and I know how many times I have traveled through the road, some people I have a clear heart about, the shock of deterrence, the greeting of greetings, I have never been out of this situation, I am not afraid of Hou Ye's jokes, this matter has just reached my ears, I thought it was the people below who made a mistake. ”

"In that case, why did Lord Hu write to Your Majesty, it seems that it was directly pointed out in his words that it was done by the former political envoy Lord Liu." Wen Tingzhan asked.

"Master Hou didn't know, I personally took someone to recover the tax silver, and the boxes of stones that were recovered, and this box was not damaged, and it was unlocked with a key." Speaking of this, Hu Ting was also quite annoyed, "It's not the first time that Lord Liu has sent tax silver, he has been in Huguang for so many years, and we have some friendship, originally I should have replaced the box I built with this tax silver, and I saved this trouble since the year before last, which is considered to be a trust in Lord Liu, thinking that the tax silver is sealed on it, and ordinary people will take a detour when they see the tax silver, but they didn't think of planting a heel." ”

The tax silver is sealed, indicating that it is tax silver, and all the tax silver is branded by the government, and such silver cannot be spent at all, unless it is traded in the dark to a place where silver ingots can be smelted from the new, but all the places where silver is made are the places of the imperial court, and there are very few people with such technology, and such a large amount of silver may not be able to swallow it. But any robber with a brain will not rob the tax silver.

"Based on this alone, Lord Hu will point the finger at Lord Liu?" Wen Tingzhan asked lightly.

"Naturally, that's more than that." Hu Ting added, "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, this tax silver was stolen in Huguang, I don't dare to say it elsewhere with a beard, but there are really few people in Huguang who can cross me, and I ordered the soldiers guarding the gate of each city to strictly investigate the tax silver stolen, so a large amount of silver, but I was stunned that I didn't find a single ingot, this money is just transported to more than a dozen people to be able to carry, the bearded man doesn't believe that so many of them carry such a large amount of silver, and they can go over the mountains and mountains to walk the mountain road full of beasts, but they haven't found it for a month." The only person who went out of the city and was not interrogated was Lord Liu, Lord Liu was worried about going home, dragging his family with him, he was once the political envoy of Hu Guangbu, and the people who defended the city were just looking at their faces, and Lord Liu's relatives did not dare to offend. ”

Therefore, if Liu Jumin really wants to transport these silver coins away, there is definitely a way, so what about Liu Jumin's motives? Ye Shaoguang didn't think that Liu Jumin had a motive to do this.

"All this is the inference of Master Hu." Wen Tingzhan pondered for a moment before speaking, "Lord Hu and Lord Hao have other clues. ”

"The person who robbed the tax and silver is skilled, and he is by no means a gangster, he should be a specially trained person." Hu Ting said again.

Hao Ren also spoke for the first time: "Have Hou Ye and Lord Hu ever thought that maybe this tax money has not yet left the Huguang Territory. ”

Wen Tingzhan nodded: "If the two adults say, Wen will consider it, if the two adults have any new discoveries, please also inform Wen in time, it is not early, Wen will not leave the two adults." ”

The two naturally stood up and said goodbye, Wen Tingzhan personally sent them away, and when Wen Tingzhan came back, Ye Shaoguang asked, "Do you think this tax silver is still in Huguang?" ”

"Not there." Wen Tingzhan's tone was very determined.

"And where did it go?" Ye Shaoguang hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Liu Jumin is really bold and dares to guard and steal?" ”

"Even if Liu Jumin has this heart, he doesn't have the courage, otherwise he wouldn't have repeatedly attached himself to the former Nie Zhongshu Order, but if he has some courage and repeatedly abandoned him in the Nie family and broke away from the Nie family, he would not have fallen into this situation." Wen Tingzhan really doesn't look down on Liu Jumin.

"Since it's not them, who has the ability to break through so many large sums of silver and transport them away without a trace?" Ye Shaoguang felt that unless it was cultivators like them, it would be too difficult for mortals, but she was convinced that even evil cultivators would not bother to be involved in these things.
