The customs of the two states were very different, and although the three men were all dressed in Daning costumes, their manners and behaviors still seemed incompatible with the casual manners of the house.

The reason why he came out with him was also because he thought of the paint on the dice that day.

In this way, it is certain that the Zhenhai Gang has some kind of close connection with the Dongying people, so is Cheng Xiao and the Zhenhai Gang as she said?

"Girl, the fifth master is back, there is a discovery!"

There was a sudden purple cry from the top of the wall, and then Shaoqing also appeared there.

Changying hurriedly beckoned.

Shaoqing jumped down, and after glancing at Du Yan, he immediately went around to Changying's side and felt something from his arms: "Look at this!" ”

The long tassel is in his hand, and the purple tassel here has already lit up the fire fold, one photo, it is a silver ingot, and another photo, there is a casting seal at the bottom, and it is still an official silver!

"Where did it come from?!"

"They found it in the rudder!" Shaoqing's face was very solemn, and his breath was still slightly panting: "Tonight, there was something unusual in their rudder, almost everyone poured out of the nest, and then carried a few large boxes into the cellar.

"I followed in, and when I opened the box, I saw that there were four boxes of such silver ingots, not to mention 50,000 taels! It's all official silver issued by the imperial court to Gangnam Province! ”

The distribution of all official silver must be appointed by the imperial court, and the people are not allowed to hide official silver privately, as much as 50,000 taels, which not only has to lose their heads, but also has to sit together!

Changying was also stunned by his discovery, and asked after a while, "Do you know where it came from?" ”

"I don't know, but I heard that in the past year, Huzhou has received many batches of special silver issued by the imperial court to suppress bandits, and there are nearly 200,000 taels of silver!

"The imperial court designated the local government office to be in charge, and the amount of fire consumption was self-anthropomorphic.

"If Changxing has not received any other special silver recently, then the untouched 50,000 taels of silver will most likely be the military salary issued by the imperial court!"

Of course, strictly speaking, it is not considered military salary, and the salary and silver go through the military channel, but this silver is designated for the yamen to suppress bandits, so it is not an exaggeration to call it military salary.

Changying asked Du Yan: "Do you know about this?" ”

"I don't know." Du gradually obviously did not expect such a major discovery.

He took the silver ingot and looked at it for a long time, and then said: "The Zhenhai Gang has rudders elsewhere, if it is the official silver from other places, it is impossible to bring Changxing, because the risk is too great."

"And the official silver of Changxing Prefecture, if it wasn't handled by Cheng Xiao, how could it fall into their hands?"

He remembered Cheng Xiao's performance today and said, "Cheng Xiao is afraid that he will make some moves in the near future. ”

Even Xie Peng, who had been staring at Cheng Xiao, did not receive the wind in this matter, which shows how cautious Cheng Xiao is.

The more cautious you are, the more important things naturally become.

It seems that you have to touch the bottom between Cheng Xiao and the Zhenhai Gang.

"I'll go first, you can do it yourself." He took the money and put it in his bosom.

"What did Cheng Xiao tell you last night? If it's not about me, you don't have to answer. Changying took two steps to stop him.

Du gradually lowered his eyes and stared at her for a long time, and then looked at Feng Shaoqing and them.

Changying turned his head: "You go first, wait for me outside the alley." ”

When they were gone, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Du Yan.

Du gradually raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "What is your relationship with the Hou Ling family of Wuning?" ”

He didn't have to say anything about this, the affairs of the Ling family had nothing to do with him after all, and whether Shen Changying was Shen Ying or not didn't have much to do with him.

For her, he only needs to find out whether she is Shen Linlang or not, and let himself know who he met back then and where she is.

But since she insisted on inquiring, he might as well satisfy her.

"Don't you want to know what he told me? He told me that three years ago, the cousin of the Ling family killed his own uncle in Jingshi, and the person he sent to Nankangwei to inquire about you was a pair of Shen Ying who came from Jingshi, and he immediately matched the number.

"He also told me, you are Shen Ying who killed Wuning Hou Lingyan, Shen Changying, are you her?"

Changying forgot to pick up her expression, her mouth was slightly open, and the whole portrait was fixed there.

"You killed your uncle, or the kind you had ten years of nurturing. Is it? ”

Du gradually straightened his waist and stared at this woman.

Standing in the position of an irrelevant person, it may not be his turn to point fingers, but with her Xiao like Shen Linlang's voice, his mood is also ups and downs.

There was a certain possibility hidden in this that made him unable to remain indifferent, after all, Shen Linlang still had something to do with him.

It may be cruel to ask a woman like this, but obviously, her actions are even more cruel than his.

Changying stood there, and after a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, this is the case." ”

After speaking, she was silent for a while, and then raised her head again: "Then do you think I am?" ”

Du gradually fell silent.

The answer is obvious, if she wasn't, she wouldn't have to be silent.

But he already had the answer, so he didn't have any waves in his heart.

Changying smiled, crossed her arms, and turned to leave.

"Don't you explain?" Du gradually stared at her back, "The Ling family has the grace of nurturing you, and it stands to reason that you have no reason to harm your relatives no matter what." ”

Changying slowed down, and finally stopped, only to stop under the rainy sky, her face was a little difficult to see.

"There's nothing to explain, I'm the one who is outside of common sense. And even if I had to explain, I wouldn't have to explain it to you. Du Guard, the friendship between you and me is not deep to that extent. But thank you for telling me this. ”

She nodded at him through the night.

Du gradually stood for a moment and said: "You are so afraid of revealing your life experience, is it to prevent someone from hindering your promotion?"

"And you desperately want to be promoted, just so that one day you can compete with the Ling family?

"Do you still want to kill the Jingshi one day and then kill the Ling family?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in these words, because I couldn't help it.

"Or else?" Changying smiled, "I've already done it all, you can't expect me to do this to repay them?" ”

Under the dark moon, her smile looked no different than it had ever been.

Du gradually did not respond to her again.

The night breeze gently ruffled her hair, and the appearance of her teeth and claws was faintly overlapping with a shadow in her heart.

"Then you're good at it."

He took the silver ingot into his arms and nodded at her at the end.

Changying watched him walk out of the alley, smiled and leaned back against the wall, exhaling slowly.

The moon in the sky has already revealed half of its face, and there is a sound of insects in my ears from nowhere, and the breeze is slow, disturbing the leaves of the trees.
