Xiao Gui glanced at Huo Lin and did not answer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Horn is just a servant of the county guard, even if he is bold enough to collude with the robbers and rob five million taels of official silver, but he can't hide the robbers in the county guard's mansion with the official silver, without anyone discovering it, and has not left any clues, he doesn't have the ability to do this.

Thousands of blades snorted out laughing and said, "Lord Huo, these bandits who robbed the official silver are all workers working in your county guard's mansion, and the five million taels of official silver were also transported out of your county guard's mansion, do you want to put all the blame on this dead ghost Horn now?"

Huo Lin's face changed suddenly, and he asked, "Mr. Wan is alluding to...... Mr. Wan, on the night of the robbery of the official bank, the official was not in the county guard's mansion, but on the way back from Shangjing to Anyang......

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wan Qianjian sneered: "I think, with Lord Huo's official position and ability, even if a person is not in the county guard mansion, not in Anyang, even if he is far away in the sky, he can remotely command everything in the county guard mansion, isn't it?"

Huo Lin gasped, he stared at the thousands of blades blankly for a long time, his eyes turned, and then he looked at Meng Tian, Xiao Gui, Su Pengfei and others, at this time, they were also staring at him with big eyes, waiting for him to make a reasonable explanation, or rather, waiting for him to make a quibble. Bai Plating means that hey, the eye brother closes the mouth and heart chapter

The official silver is in the county guard, and the bandits are also in the county guard, the matter is already obvious, this matter is the county guard's office, and as the owner of the county guard's mansion, how could Huo Lin not be involved. Although none of the people present had a clear opinion, they had already convicted Huo Lin in their hearts.

Huo Lin shook his head again and again and said, "You guys...... You are deliberately wronging the official!" As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said urgently: "These workers are all invited by the official's wife and the housekeeper of the house, and the official really doesn't know that they are all bandits who robbed the official silver, otherwise, the official would not have left them in the county guard mansion anyway......"

Xiao Gui rolled his eyes and said, "If that's the case, it's better to find out Mrs. Huo and Steward Xu together, confront them face to face, and ask what happened!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huo Lin nodded hurriedly, he pulled out his handkerchief from his cuffs, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and said to the servant beside him: "Quick! Go and find the lady and the butler together!"

"Yes, sir!" said the servant, and hurried into the county guard's mansion. After a long time, the servant ran out of the county guard's mansion and said to Huo Lin urgently, "Master, madam...... Madame and Steward Xu are gone!"

"What? It's all gone, what does it mean it's all gone?"

"Master, Madame went out at noon and hasn't come back until now, Steward Xu went out in the evening, saying that he was going to Tiansheng Grain Store to deal with some things, and he hasn't come back yet!" the servant replied.

Neither returned...... Huo Lin paused for a moment, and shouted: "What are you still standing here stupidly for?

What happened this time is not a trivial matter, it involves five million taels of official silver, if it is not explained clearly, not only will it be finished for itself, but the entire Huo family will also be finished.

Seeing the servants of the county guard mansion running out in a hurry, Meng Tian and Wan Qianjian glanced at each other, the latter approached Meng Tian's ear and whispered: "If what Huo Lin said is true, then these two people are probably no longer in Anyang now." ”

Meng Tian pondered for a moment, turned around and summoned a Tang soldier, whispered to him, and immediately sent people out of the city to search for the whereabouts of Madame Huo and Xu Song, and once discovered, he immediately captured them.

Wan Qiandao's guess was correct, the servants of the county guard mansion searched for Anyang all over, and finally failed to find the whereabouts of Mrs. Huo and Steward Xu.

The servants returned to the county warden's mansion one after another, bringing back disappointing news. When the last servant returned in vain, Huo Lin's hopes were completely lost.

The old man seemed to have suddenly aged more than ten years, his head was buzzing, the sky was spinning, he couldn't support it anymore, he sat on the steps in front of the county guard's mansion, his eyes were glazed, and he couldn't say a word.

Meng Tian took a deep breath, turned his head to Xiao Gui and said, "Lord Xiao!"

"Ah, Mr. Meng!"

"Mrs. Huo and Xu Song are still missing, and they can be regarded as absconding in fear of crime, in the opinion of Lord Xiao, how to deal with Lord Huo?" asked Meng Tian with a calm and soft expression.

"This ......" Xiao Gui sighed secretly, now whether this matter has anything to do with Huo Lin or not, he is already at a loss for words. He smiled bitterly at Meng Tian, and arched his hand and said, "What should the lower officials do, please also ask Mr. Meng to make it clear." ”

Meng Tian smiled, waved his hand and said, "Lord Xiao is serious, I am not an official of the imperial court, how can I order Lord Xiao to do things?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Meng is too humble, the lower officials are willing to listen to Mr. Meng's instructions!" "The official silver has been recovered by Shura Hall, and the case can also be declared broken, and the next thing is to punish the relevant people involved, at this point, Meng Tian has the absolute right to speak, although this matter has nothing to do with himself, but if he really investigates it, the responsibility for the county army's ineffective protection of the silver can also be pressed on his head, that is the matter of Meng Tian's words.

Now even if Xiao Gui is asked to offer Meng Tian as an ancestor, he is willing.

"Since Lord Xiao has to ask for my opinion, then I will say a few words, I mean, first take Huo Lin and all the relevant personnel in the county guard mansion into custody, and at the same time report to the imperial court, please make a decision. What does Lord Xiao think?"

Where did Xiao Gui dare to object, he nodded like pounding garlic, and said: "Mr. Meng is very good, just do what Mr. Meng wants!"

"Huo Lin is an important criminal, he must be strictly guarded, if there is an accident, I am afraid that Lord Xiao will not be able to bear this responsibility!"

Xiao Gui patted his chest and promised: "Mr. Meng, please rest assured, the lower official will guarantee with his head, and it will be absolutely foolproof!"

Meng Tian nodded with a smile and didn't say anything more.

Xiao Gui arched his hand again, then walked up to Huo Lin, bent down, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Master Huo, get up." ”

Huo Lin raised his head blankly, looked at Xiao Gui, and muttered, "Lord Xiao, my lady...... Did you elope with Steward Xu?"

Originally, the housekeeper of the county guard mansion was Horn, but since Mrs. Huo became the head of the county guard mansion, she found Xu Song and asked Xu Song to take Horn's place and become the new housekeeper of the county guard's mansion, while Horn was demoted to the steward.

On weekdays, Mrs. Huo and Xu Song were very close, but now that they were both missing, Huo Lin naturally thought that the two of them had eloped.

When Xiao Gui heard this, he almost laughed out loud and smiled bitterly. At this time, you are still wondering if your wife has eloped with the housekeeper? You can't find the two of them, even if you really have nothing to do with the robbers, all the charges must be borne by you alone, which is a felony full of beheadings.

Xiao Gui shook his head angrily and funny, and said, "Lord Huo, I have wronged you, move to the prison of the county governor's mansion!" As he spoke, he took Huo Lin's arm and ordered Su Pengfei at the same time: "Lord Su, no one is allowed to let go of everyone in the county guard's mansion, and they will all be taken to the prison and will be dealt with!"

"Yes, my lord!" Su Pengfei intervened, waved his hand to his soldiers, and rushed into the county guard's mansion.

Overnight, all the personnel in the county guard mansion headed by Huo Lin were arrested, and Xiao Gui, as the county lieutenant, temporarily served as the county guard of Yujun.

At the same time, Xiao Gui sent someone to send urgent documents to Shangjing, and Shura Tang sent a book with a flying pigeon to inform Shangguan Xiu of Shangjing.

After reading the news from Meng Tian, Shangguan Xiu was also somewhat surprised.

Who would have thought that the official silver that was robbed in the county guard mansion had been hidden in the county guard mansion all along, and even those robbers had never left the county guard mansion.

If it weren't for the bandits' eagerness to get the official money away, and if the robbers could hold their ground for a longer period of time, the case would have been unresolved and would have become a headless unsolved case.

Shangguan Xiu took the letter and went to the imperial study. Tang Ling was reviewing the recital inside, and when she saw Shangguan Xiu coming in, she asked with a smile, "Didn't Ah Xiu go out to drink with your friends today?"

These days, Shangguan Xiu does often go out of the palace, and the person who often comes to him for drinks is not Xin Jiyao, but Jun Qihan. On the battlefield, they were evenly matched and had fought with each other, but in private, they became friends.

Jun Qihan once asked Shangguan Xiu if the two of them were friends now. Shangguan Xiu's answer was a friend. Jun Qihan asked him again what would happen if the two countries went to war again and the two met again on the battlefield? Shangguan Xiu replied to him that he would fight with all his might.

Shangguan Xiu's answer made Jun Qihan let go of his psychological burden, return to his own interests, return to the common people, and go to the battlefield, everyone, his masters, should fight with all his might, and will never be swayed by personal feelings.

Since then, Jun Qihan has often come to the palace and invited Shangguanxiu to go back to drink and chat. Shangguan Xiu is also happy to make Jun Qihan, a refreshing and heroic friend, every time Jun Qihan comes to find him, he happily goes.

"The case of the robbery of the official bank in Anyang has been solved. Shangguan Xiu walked to the dragon book case and handed the Mengtian flying pigeon handbook to Tang Ling. Tang Ling was stunned when he heard this, put down the music in his hand, took the handbook, and looked at it carefully.

After seeing it, Tang Ling frowned, and said suspiciously: "It was actually done by the county guard?"

"Yes, that's a big surprise to me. ”

"Huo Lin is hateful! The crime is unforgivable!" Tang Ling's face was gloomy, and he slapped the book case heavily.

Huo Lin committed the act of guarding and stealing, not only losing his own face, but also losing the emperor's face.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier. Huo Lin is a new courtier who was promoted after Tang Ling ascended the throne, and his doing this kind of deed is tantamount to slapping Tang Ling in the face, and it is tantamount to scolding Tang Ling for not knowing people.

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "Although the problem is from the county guard's mansion, it is not easy to judge whether it is related to Huo Lin, and the two most important people in this case are missing." ”

"Hollin's wife and the steward of the county guard?"

"Exactly!" Shangguan Xiu said: "According to Huo Lin's confession, it was Mrs. Huo who proposed the expansion of the county guard's mansion, and it was the housekeeper Xu Song who treated the robbers as workers and recruited them into the county guard's mansion. Sadly, both men have absconded in fear.
