"According to the villain's speculation, the rut marks on the official road of Duyunpu are too shallow, and it should be that the silver was dropped before arriving at Duyunpu, so those Japanese people are praying mantises, they want to catch the grasshopper for military salaries, but they didn't expect a yellow finch to take the lead, they got up early in the morning and rushed late, and they didn't make any effort in vain! Don't talk about the Japanese people, even if I encounter this kind of thing, I won't be reconciled!

We followed the two clues that the military salary was dropped and those officers and soldiers were poisoned in advance to find the post station, but unfortunately as soon as we arrived here, the post station was burned clean by a fire, it can be seen that someone is trying to hide something!

We can find out here, and those Japanese people can naturally find out here, and when they saw the things that pulled out several carriages from the post station, they thought it was the lost military salary, so they would attack these people! ”

Lu Yan showed some approval, nodded and said, "Your inference is reasonable, is there anything else?" ”

Received the commendation of the Lord of Qianhu, Zhu Yixiang looked a little proud, and reasoned more hard, and then said: "Since there is indeed a problem with this post station, then the lost batch of military salaries is very likely to be dropped at the post station, I heard those family members of the post and the servants say that their men have behaved strangely recently, as if they have changed people, so I thought of the high boss who killed me last time, he is wearing a person/skin/mask, so before the military pay arrives here, the post men and officials of the post station here are also dropped!" ”

Lu Yan nodded thoughtfully, "You go on!" ”

"Besides, the military salary of 100,000 taels of silver is really eye-catching, if you want to transport the 100,000 taels of silver, you must have to think of a complete strategy, so there will be Lord Zuo who resigned and went home, and took a few carts to stay overnight, presumably the silver was transported away at that time, and then we came, they wanted to destroy the evidence, so they set fire to the post station!"

Lu Yan frowned and asked, "You mean that Lord Zuo Xianzuo transported away that batch of military salaries?" ”

Zhu Yixiang said: "According to the current situation, it is like this! Do you think, my lord, it has only been two years since Zuo Xian was promoted to the post of Zhejiang Inspector to supervise the imperial history, how much savings can he have? Although this official position sounds very good, after all, he is also a petty official of the seventh grade, how can he have the money to hire twenty family bodyguards to transport these several large truckloads of things? ”

"Impossible!" Lu Yan said firmly: "It is absolutely impossible for Lord Zuo to participate in the robbery of military salaries!" ”

Seeing that Lu Yan is so determined, Zhu Yixiang is a little strange, the principle they uphold in Jinyiwei is to suspect everything, but if they show some clues, they will also be caught by them and make a monstrous case, Lu Yan is the best in this Jinyiwei, how can he trust Zuo Xian so generously with such a heavy suspicion? He asked weakly, "Is there anything ...... your lordship?" Something else? ”

Lu Yan pondered for a while and said: "Back then, my father was wronged, and the entire Yangzhou officialdom was silent, and there was only one small Shanyang Zhixian Zuo Xian who dared to speak justice to his father, and even he tried his best to investigate the case and hunt down the Jiangyang thieves who robbed the military salary, but unfortunately his strength was meager, and in the end it was over, I have always been grateful for these things, and I have heard that Lord Zuo's official reputation is very good, and he is deeply loved by the people. How could it be possible to rob the army's salary? ”

"Then according to what you said, this Zuo Xian is a once-in-a-century living blue sky, and he is more honest and honest than the King of Haiyan in Chun'an Zhi County back then, so you say that he is just a seven-grade petty official for a few years, why does he have so much furniture? And hired more than 20 domestic guards? People have patches on their clothes, and they grow vegetables and eat them by themselves in the county government, and they can't see a little meat during the New Year's holidays! ”

Lu Yan glanced at Zhu Yixiang, "It's not that everyone is like that sea pen holder!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhu Yixiang hurriedly said: "It's really hard to be an official in this dynasty, and it's understandable to do something like a kick occasionally......

"You're bold!" Lu Yan heard what he said more and more unpleasantly, for fear that he would say something more rebellious, so he hurriedly stopped him! There are some things that everyone acquiesces to, but can't say!

Zhu Yixiang was startled, and whispered: "If you don't say it, don't say it, what are you yelling at!" ”

Lu Yan glared at him, thinking that this Zhu Yixiang was still a good person, and he knew what he could say and couldn't say, so he ignored him.

Zhu Yixiang stepped forward again and said: "Then there is another possibility, that is, someone kidnapped Lord Zuo and took away the military salary from the post station, and then the praying mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch followed, and they were robbed and killed here by this group of widows!" But now no matter what, presumably the 100,000 taels of military salaries fell into the hands of the Japanese people! You said that the military salary of our anti-Japanese army fell into the hands of the Japanese and became the military salary of the Japanese people, you said that you are depressed or not depressed! ”

Lu Yan's mood was very low, he was worried about this possibility, so he asked Panzhi County to search for the Japanese people, and closely inspect the vehicles and goods coming and going.

After a while, Hu Shibai came to report, saying that a few smashed wooden boxes had been dug in the pit, and it was very likely that they were used for military salaries!

Lu Yan's head was dizzy, he held on to the trunk next to him, and ordered: "Quickly go and inform Zhou Qianhu of Yangzhou Qianhu, tell him that the military salary is very likely to be in the hands of a group of Japanese people, and now he has not yet left the border of Yangzhou, let him block all the intersections, and dispatch all the brocade guards, including all the secret guards hidden in the shadows, if you can recover this batch of military salaries, I will share this credit with him!" ”

"This ......" Hu Shibai hesitated a little, "Big brother, why should such a great credit be shared with others, not to mention that if he was really found by Zhou Qian, how can the credit be shared with us?" ”

"I'll let you go!" Lu Yan can clearly distinguish the priorities of the matter, even if Zhou Qian gets this great credit, he will return in vain at most, if this batch of military salaries falls into the hands of the Japanese Emperor, the saint will definitely take off his head!

At this time, Zhu Yixiang said: "It's not right, Lord Qianhu, this may just be a pretense!" ”

Lu Yan turned around and saw Zhu Yixiang squatting next to the pile of wooden box fragments that had been cleaned up, holding a wooden board in his hand and saying, "My lord, come and take a look, this box has traces of being cut by a knife!" ”

Hu 18 interjected: "So what? The chests are all shattered like this, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have been slashed by some sword, right? ”

"It's not an exaggeration, this is very abnormal, if this box is really filled with military salaries, it's too late to protect it, what are you doing with it?"

"That could be...... I was injured by mistake during the fight, after all, the sword has no eyes! Hu Eighteen said.

"You didn't have a reason to show off the dozens of taels of silver with you, not to mention the 100,000 taels of robbed military salary, in case you accidentally opened the box along the way, the silver has the mark of the imperial court, isn't it fast enough to die? If they were chests of silver, they must have been properly hidden in the carriage, and it was impossible to accidentally injure these chests during the fight, so what were these knife marks on the chests? ”

Hu Shibai was a little dazed by what Zhu Yixiang said, scratched his hair, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Lu Yan opened his mouth and said, "It's to vent anger!" ”
