When the matter is found here, everything is already clear at a glance, this "vegetable farmer" is likely to be the black hand who manipulates everything behind the scenes, his silver robbery plan is clearly organized, and the division of labor is detailed, which can be called perfect.

In the first step, he first arranged for Sun Laoshi to enter the Half Moon Villa, kill or replace all the people in the Half Moon Villa, and prepare all the tools for melting silver and casting silver in the Half Moon Villa; In the second step, after he killed the people of the post station, he found someone to disguise himself as a post man and an errand servant of the post station; The third step is to wait for the officers and soldiers who escort the military pay to rest here, and the general will drop the salary, and the weapons will put chronicity/poison in the diet of the officers and soldiers; In the fourth step, he revealed the news of the escort of the officers and soldiers to the Japanese Kou, and after the Japanese killed the officers and soldiers in Duyunpu and robbed the military salary that he had dropped, the charge of robbing the army was deducted from the Japanese Kou; In the end, in the few days before the government and the Japanese invaders reacted, he disguised himself as a vegetable farmer, transported the military salaries in the post station into the Half Moon Villa in batches, melted them into ordinary silver, and then disguised himself as a dung puller, transported the silver out, and deposited it in the ticket numbers of the money banks in various places in Yangzhou.

After doing this, his entire plan to rob the silver has been realized, but there is one last step, killing people and destroying his mouth, and swallowing military salaries alone!

After the Japanese invaders reacted, they would naturally go to Fengle County to track down the military salary, and it was through the hands of the Japanese that he got rid of those who shared the spoils with him!

Zhu Yixiang had to praise from the bottom of his heart, what a plan! This step by step is so thorough!

As the saying goes, "There is a way to steal." "Wine and wealth" belongs to this kind of people, although they kill people and sell goods, but they also relieve the poor, punish corrupt officials, and eliminate harm for the people, they have justice in their hearts, and stick to the bottom line of being a man, even if they are wanted by the government for sea fishing documents, but Zhu Yixiang still doesn't think they are bad people!

And this person, the person behind the manipulation of this silver robbery, is already bad and has no bottom line, he uses everything he can to use, kill all those who get in his way, and throw away all the unwanted chess pieces!

When a person abandons the constraints of human morality, he can no longer be measured by human thinking, and Zhu Yixiang is not even willing to use "bad person" to describe him, because to the point where he can no longer be regarded as a person!

The investigation of the case has reached this point, it is already considered exhaustive, even if Hu Qiqi can find out which transactions in Yangzhou's Qianzhuang ticket number are abnormal, but Jinyiwei can't forcefully get back those silver taels without real evidence, otherwise it will be no different from a robber!

Lu Yan sat in front of the table, preparing to write a secret letter to His Majesty the Emperor and report the matter here.

Dipping the pen in ink, hanging above the paper, hesitating, a drop of ink fell and seeped into the rice paper, he put the pen down again, and irritably crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it out.

He is unwilling after all, maybe if he misses this time, he will never have the opportunity to investigate his father's murderer again!

The door was pushed open, and Zhu Yixiang's head poked in, and the ball of paper hit Zhu Yixiang's head!

Seeing Zhu Yixiang sneaking in, Lu Yan said in an unkind tone: "What do you want to do?" ”

Zhu Yixiang touched his head that was hit by the paper ball just now, of course it didn't hurt, but he was panicked, and he was caught by the owner for the first time he was a thief, so he could only grin at Lu Yan and said, "It turns out that you are here, I thought you were ...... adults."

"You think I'm not here to steal, do you?"

Zhu Yixiang hurriedly defended: "No, no, no, my lord, you misunderstood, how can we scholars say that it is 'stealing', it should be said that it is 'stealing'!" ”

Lu Yan slapped the table, "Bang! With a sound, Zhu Yixiang's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to play in a smooth tone, and hurriedly said: "The villain just came to borrow a little cinnabar, and he has no other ideas!" ”

Lu Yan frowned, "Borrow cinnabar?" Where there is no cinnabar, what cinnabar do you borrow from me? ”

"Returning to my lord, this is not a green peony is about to go out of the funeral, I want her to go decently, ordinary rouge gouache is too light, can't cover the scars on her face, I want to use some cinnabar, find the county government people asked, they said that cinnabar or something is used up today, I remembered that you still have some in this room, I was going to report to you, but I didn't find you, and I thought that you are busy today, so these little things should not bother you, so I came by myself......"

Lu Yan looked at the cinnabar on the table and didn't respond. Zhu Yixiang tiptoed over, and when he saw the four treasures of the study room on the table, he asked, "My lord, are you going to report the matter here to the emperor?" ”

Lu Yan suddenly showed a fierce light, looked at Zhuyi Lane, and said, "Take the cinnabar and get out!" ”

"Hey! Be! Zhu Yixiang picked up the cinnabar and was about to go out, but suddenly turned back to look at Lu Yan and said, "My lord, do you think that the black hand behind the scenes has left Yangzhou with a silver ticket, so the silver can no longer be traced?" ”

Hearing Zhu Yixiang ask like this, Lu Yan raised his head and looked at him, "What, do you have any other opinions?" ”

Zhu Yixiang shook his head and said: "There is no other opinion, if I were that black hand, I would have taken the silver ticket and flew away early in the morning, but there is one thing I have never figured out!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Who set fire to the station the night we came?"

Hearing this, Lu Yan stood up with an empowering, he actually ignored such an important matter, if the black hand got rid of all the people who shared the spoils with him, then it was his own fire, he was worried that Jinyiwei would find out something from the post station, and the black hand was still in Fengle County. Another possibility is that the gangsters who shared the spoils were not all eliminated, at least the person who set fire to the post station remained, and that person was in Fengle County at this time.

This is really a mountain and a water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and bright.

After communicating this, the gloom on Lu Yan's face disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Zhu Yixiang and was about to say something, but he saw Zhu Yixiang wave his sleeves and bring the door for him.

At this time, the corpse of the green peony was parked in front of the morgue, Zhu Yixiang spent three taels of silver to let the bold kitchen aunt help her wash up, change into decent clothes, Zhu Yixiang painted her the last makeup, lingered in the fireworks Willow Lane all the year round, and made a living by painting the Spring Palace to write obscenity/filth, and there is still some research on the makeup of women in the market. In order to cover the scars on his face, the rouge gouache was rubbed half an inch thick on the face of the green peony, and he lay quietly in the thin-skinned coffin that was given by the brocade guard.

After doing all this, Zhu Yixiang went out to find the person who carried the coffin, and the Jinyi guard and the county government officials were busy outside, so he could only go to the street to hire people temporarily.

The people on the street didn't know that the woman who died was the "color" of the four thieves of "wine, color and wealth", but they only knew that this woman had been hanging on the city gate for a day, which showed that she was a great crime. asked several people but no one answered, and finally Zhu Yixiang gritted his teeth, raised the salary to three taels of silver, hired four people, and bought some paper cars and paper horses from the street.

Entering the courtyard of the morgue, I saw Wu Dayong standing in front of the coffin, looking intently at the green peony in the coffin, at this time Wu Dayong was dressed in white, although it could not be said that it was a sackcloth filial piety clothes, but this dress stood in front of a coffin, looking very weird, Zhu Yixiang was a little suspicious that he was dazzled, he seemed to see Wu Dayong crying.

"Brother Wu, why are you here?"

Hearing Zhu Yixiang speak, Wu Da inadvertently wiped away the tears on his face, turned around and said with the usual smile on his face, "I'll come and see if you need my help here!" ”

Since Wu Dayong blocked a sword for him, Zhu Yixiang's gratitude to Wu Dayong was beyond words, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, Brother Wu, your injury has not been healed yet, I don't have to bother Brother Wu alone, after the green peony is buried, I will invite Brother Wu to eat, you can eat whatever you want!" ”

"Okay, okay!" Wu Dayong casually reconciled with Zhu Yixiang, "If you don't need me to do anything, I'll go back and rest!" ”

Zhu Yixiang put down the things in his hand and said, "Brother Wu, I'll send you!" ”

"No, you're busy!" With that, he walked out of the courtyard of the morgue.

Zhu Yixiang turned around and saw three incense sticks inserted into the small incense burner in front of the coffin, and the green smoke curled like a dream.

Green Peony is a female prisoner, after Zhu Yixiang's efforts, Jinyi Wei Lu Qianhu finally showed mercy, can let her into the earth for peace, stop the spirit, cry and mourn, relatives and friends worship, monks and Taoist practices, these are not, Zhu Yixiang only gave her a handful of paper money in a hurry, and after the curfew, her coffin was carried out from the back door.

If the people on the street open the windows at this time, they may be able to see a person carrying a white lantern in front of them leading four people behind him, carrying a coffin on the street quietly, and they must be frightened.

Not to mention the people who saw it, even the four big men who carried the coffin were also a little frightened at this time, and said to Zhu Yixiang, who was carrying a white lantern in front: "This son, why do you have to go out of the funeral at this hour?" ”

Zhu Yixiang sighed, "Let you carry it whenever you want, and there is no shortage of your silver, and I will wrap a big red envelope for each of you after the burial!" ”

He said that he had added money, and these people couldn't say anything, after all, the salary of three taels of silver was not thin, and it was not their turn to earn this money for easy things!

Zhu Yixiang is not depressed in his heart, it's not all that Pan Zhi County, what do you say that there are many people in the daytime, what is the matter with the funeral and burial of prisoners from the government, and the dead and alive do not agree to carry the coffin out of the government for burial, Zhu Yixiang pleaded again and again, he agreed to the curfew, and only after the curfew could the coffin be carried out without anyone on the street!

Because there are too many murders in Fengle County recently, Jinyiwei always goes in and out at night to handle cases, in order to facilitate the handling of cases, the city gate has not been closed at night these days, but several times more officers and soldiers have guarded, Zhu Yixiang took out the certificate issued by the county government, made a registration, and then took the four coffin bearers out of the city gate, all the way to the mass grave.

At this hour, they went to the mass grave, and Rao is carrying the coffin were four big men with heavy yang energy, who were also a little timid. Walking to the dense forest of the mountain road, a coffin bearer suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Look, what is that?" ”

Zhu Yixiang turned around, followed the man's finger and looked into the night sky, and saw the overwhelming crows attacking them.
