Chapter 14: The Underground Strange Face

Hu Yong, like the cook who died in the Yan Palace, had the same task, which was to purchase vegetables from Huishan Village to serve as the daily consumption of the palace.

A few days ago, the porter handed him a package that it said was for him. At the time, he didn't care, thinking that it was given to him by his family. When I returned to the house and opened it, a few silver ingots were suddenly revealed in the package.

These silver ingots are all ten taels of silver, and they are in good condition, and they are officially minted.

Hu Yong was suspicious in his heart, because he didn't have any rich relatives at all, who would send these silver. He originally thought that someone had come to ask him to do something, after all, in the palace, some things could still be convenient with people.

There was a letter in the package, telling him that as long as he went to a place in Huishan Village outside the city, he buried a box underneath, and it was full of such silver.

There will be no pie in the sky.

Hu Yong didn't know how to read, so he copied down the words engraved on the silver one by one and asked Mr. Yu in the palace. Of course, he asked the word out of order. It was not easy to ask for it, and this silver turned out to be the tax silver of Guangdong!

As a person who has been in the capital for a long time, he will listen to some rumors outside when he is free on weekdays. Hu Yong naturally heard that Guangdong's tax silver had been stolen, and that the imperial court was furious and was searching everywhere.

When he got home, he quickly hid the letter in a most secluded corner, and he put the money away. The silver was as hot as coals in his hands, but he was reluctant to leave it behind.

This went on for a day, and finally, greed broke the fear.

He didn't tell anything, but after he was going to take out the silver taels, he stored them in one place. When the limelight passed, he secretly sent the silver two back to his home.

The silver is marked, but it doesn't matter. When the silver is melted and cast, it will still be money.

Hu Yong made up his mind, and while he was out shopping, he drove a carriage out by himself. In fact, he usually doesn't take care of this matter himself, but Hu Yong went to dig up the silver buried in the ground.

He casually found a reason to let the person in charge of the purchase do something else, and left the palace in the carriage by himself.

Although wealth is in danger, this matter is to lose his head after all.

Hu Yong was very cautious, he was afraid that others would find the silver ingot while he was away, so he stored it in the carriage of the carriage. There is a hidden compartment where silver ingots can be stored.

Although he was well prepared, his heart trembled. Especially when passing through the city gate, there is a banner of the Liang Wangfu on weekdays, and it is always unimpeded. Today is different, and there is still a search. Fortunately, the soldiers at the city gate did not find the silver ingots stored in his carriage, but even so, he became a frightened bird.

Trembling all the way, he walked to the village. He had been here before, and was wondering where the villagers had gone, when he heard a strange thing with a regular pattern. He drove the carriage and followed the sound, and found the place that resembled the ancestral hall. As soon as he was about to get out of the car, he saw a lot of sergeants standing there.

Lu Pengyuan's voice questioning Lin Mazi loudly was also heard by him.

Hu Yong panicked, he thought that those right guards were here to search for the whereabouts of the tax silver. Coincidentally, Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan's eyes fell on him.

In a panic, Hu Yong chose to flee.

"I don't know where these silver ingots came from, someone wants to harm me, I didn't take them!" Hu Yong shouted loudly.

Lu Pengyuan was upset when he heard this, and kicked Hu Yong in the stomach: "Shut up, of course Lao Tzu knows that you didn't do it!" If you want to kill more than 100 of my right brothers, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Lu! ”

Hu Yong shuddered, the surname Lu is the surname of the country, and the person in front of him can mobilize the elite iron cavalry of the right Xiaowei, obviously the position in the army is not low, and it is not something he can provoke in any case.

Tang Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Where is that letter?" ”

Hu Yong said cautiously: "The letter was burned by me with fire, and I was afraid of being seen by others. But I remember all the maps, and I know where the silver is! ”

Lu Pengyuan shouted: "Then don't take us quickly!" ”

……

The village sacrifice was destroyed by uninvited guests.

The whole village was terrifyingly quiet, and the villagers did not disperse because of this, but kept looking at the two right guard sergeants.

Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan both went to chase Hu Yong, leaving two sergeants here to watch Lin Mazi.

Two sergeants, that's enough.

This is the Gyeonggi region, the hinterland of Daeju. No one has dared to make a move against the Great Zhou Army yet.

Lin Mazi was roughly pressed to the ground by a sergeant, and the other sergeant stared cautiously at the villagers in front of him. He felt that the villagers' eyes were a little panicked, as if a group of evil spirits from hell were watching over him.

That look made him cold.

The villagers did not move, and the sergeant shouted angrily: "What is Du Pestle doing here, this person is involved in a serious case." If you don't want to be involved, leave it all! ”

No one paid any attention to him......

Suddenly, Lin Mazi didn't know where the strength came from, and he directly knocked away the sergeant who had been pressing him. The sergeant didn't expect Lin Mazi to resist at all, and he was knocked out of balance and fell to the ground.

The villagers quickly gathered around.

The sergeants were overwhelmed by the crowd without even drawing their knives.

People covered their mouths with cloth and smashed sharp stones on their heads. The stone fell, and the flesh and blood flew in the head. But people seemed to be numb, and they still smashed desperately.

Blood, sprinkled on the faces of every villager.

As if they had been given some guidance, all the villagers raised their heads at the same time, looked in a direction in the distance, and walked slowly.

Under the sun, a shadow swayed quietly.

……

"That's right, two adults, the little one remembers this is here!"

Hu Yong was in the spirit of twelve points at this time, he wanted to strive for a good impression in front of Tang Yun, and when the time came, he would be arrested and put in prison, so that he would be punished less.

After this incident, the errand in the Liang Wangfu could not be continued. However, Hu Yong had already made up his mind, and as soon as the matter was over, he would return to his hometown, and he would no longer wade into the muddy waters of the capital.

The sergeants began to dig in the ground, and Hu Yong brought shovels, so he moved quickly, and a deep pit of earth was revealed in front of everyone.

"Found it, the silver should be right here!" Hu Yong said firmly.

The sergeants continued to dig down, but with much lighter movements.

After a while, the thing in the soil finally revealed its outline. Oddly enough, this is not like a box, but an object in the shape of a slender strip.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Tang Yun looked up, and there was a cloud covering the scorching sun.

The sergeants were clearing the dirt from the thing, and suddenly one of the sergeants screamed and retreated in horror.

I saw that in the soil, a strange face appeared, sneering at everyone's wickedness.
