Chapter 190: Seizure

At this moment, Shangguan Xiu's Wind Shadow Determination can not be described in a quick word. The afterimage of his body in the eyes of people was still standing in place, but the real body had already reached the back of the other party, and in the moment of walking, the blade had already cut off the neck of the middle-aged man.

Seeing the middle-aged man die tragically under Shangguan Xiu's knife, but how Shangguan Xiu rushed over and how he killed the middle-aged man, none of the cultivators present could see it clearly.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and it would be futile to continue fighting, and the remaining few cultivators glanced at each other, and none of them spoke, but they turned around and ran away with great tacit understanding, and they fled in different directions.

Shangguan Xiu was willing to let them go, his body shook, and he chased after one person with an instantaneous step, and smashed it out with a punch. Hearing only a crisp snap, the cultivator snorted, threw himself forward, fell heavily into the street, and fainted on the spot. Shangguan Xiu was just about to chase the second person, only to see a spiritual cultivator who had already fled suddenly turned back, he did not run to Shangguan Xiu, but went straight to the delirious Ye Feixue. Shangguan Xiu had no choice but to turn back to save Ye Feixue.

His body was as fast as a whirlwind, and the man rushed to Ye Feixue's approach, and he also rushed to the man's side. Before the person arrives, the punch arrives first and slams the opponent's cheek. The man was quick to react, raising his palm to block the side of his head.

Shangguan Xiu's fist hit the man's palm, and by the force of the impact, the man's figure flew out sideways, hitting the wall on the side, and there was a muffled bang. The latest chapter of ĐŊÊi ĐŖÄĐŋgÃĒ has been updated

Shangguan Xiu took three steps and formed two steps, rushed to the opponent again, and hit the opponent's chest with both fists.

The cultivator exerted all his strength and threw himself to the side, clicking, Shangguan Xiu's fists slammed into the wall, knocking out two large pits on the wall.

The man didn't dare to fight with Shangguan Xiu, and turned around to run, but Shangguan Xiu followed with a side kick and kicked him under the ribs.

This kick was strong, and it also kicked the spiritual cultivator more than three meters away, and the spirit armor under his ribs was shattered. After the man landed, he glanced around, he laughed twice, and then lay on the ground motionless, and the spirit armor on his body dispersed.

Shangguan Xiu walked quickly to him, looked down, the corner of the man's mouth oozed black blood, his heart was shocked, he hurriedly squatted down, reached out and wiped the other party's neck, where was there a pulse.

Shangguan Xiu pinched his mouth open, and when he looked closely, this person's tongue had turned black. Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and glanced left and right, and the other cultivators had fled without a trace.

This man was a dead man, and he had turned back to bring himself back so that he could create an opportunity for his companions to escape.

Shangguan Xiu's narrowed eyes flashed with a gleam, he dispersed the spirit armor on his body, licked his dry lips, and slowly stood up.

At this time, Ye Feixue, who was lying on the side, groaned, she rubbed her painful head and slowly sat up from the ground. Shangguan Xiu's figure flickered, came to her closer, bent down, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Ye Feixue slowed down for a while, and then her eyes gradually gained focus, she looked around and asked, "That...... What about those people?"

"Ran. ”

"Ran away? ...... How can you let them run away?" Ye Feixue looked at Shangguan Xiu dissatisfied.

Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly and muttered in his heart: Naturally, it is to save you! He tilted his head, looked at her with deep eyes, and did not speak for a long time. Ye Feixue was stared at by him, and asked dissatisfiedly, "What are you looking at me like this?"

"Some people are born unlucky, while some people are lucky stars. The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised.

"Are you talking about me?"

"Well, you're the latter. Shangguan Xiu suddenly felt that Ye Feixue was really a blessed person, her nosy affairs seemed to be causing trouble, but the real person was involved in such an interesting case.

He first pulled Ye Feixue up from the ground, then turned around and walked to the carriage, raised the knife in his hand, and slashed at a stump at random.

Peeling off a piece of bark with a blade and looking inside, it was full of white silver.

When Shangguan Xiu was inspecting the stumps one by one, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed to hear the news, and the three leaders were Duan Qiyue, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei.

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu was safe and sound, the three of them sighed in unison, walked quickly to Shangguan Xiu, and asked while checking the corpse on the ground, "Brother Xiu, what's going on?"

Glancing at the three of them with a smile, Shangguan Xiu knocked the silver brick in the stump unhurriedly with the knife in his hand, and said, "The interesting part is here!"

Duan Qiyue and the three of them looked down and looked at each other, their faces were shocked, they opened their mouths in surprise, and asked in unison, "Is this......?" It's all silver?!"

County Governor's Mansion.

Shangguan Xiu sat in the center, and Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong and other generals, as well as Wu Nian, Dongzhe and other strategists stood on both sides. Shangguan Xiu drank the tea slowly, and everyone was talking in a whisper, talking to each other. It didn't take long for Qian Jin to walk in from the outside.

Seeing him come in, everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at him with blank eyes, and Shangguan Xiu also put down the cup in his hand.

Qian Jin walked quickly to Shangguan Xiu, and arched his hand and said, "Brother Xiu, I have already checked all the counts just now, and there are ...... total of silver hidden in the cork" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and subconsciously looked at the people on the left and right.

Shangguan Xiu raised his head and said, "There are no outsiders here, Ah Jin, just say it if you have something to say!"

"Brother Xiu, the total amount of hidden silver is ...... Two hundred thousand taels. ”

"II...... Two hundred thousand?" Li Qiu's eyes widened like copper bells, and he stammered, "You...... You can't be wrong, can you?"

Qian Jin smiled and said confidently: "I may count other things wrong, but I will never count wrong." This batch of silver, not a penny, a penny is not much, it is exactly 200,000 taels. ”

"Two hundred thousand taels of silver, this is far beyond the scope of darts. Shangguan Xiu said slowly.

"Brother Xiu, they can't be from the dart game. Qian Jin said firmly: "They are the city from the west of the city, in the west of Jinzhou, there are only Yicheng and Huyaguan, these two places, no one will have so much silver." ”

"So what?"

"Therefore, this batch of silver must not come from Yicheng and Huya Pass, then there is only one place left, and that is Shah. I dare to guarantee that there must be customs clearance documents on these people, and in Huya Pass, you will definitely be able to check their customs clearance records. ”

Shangguan Xiu looked at Wu Nian, Dong Zhe, and Kong Di with a smile and asked, "What do you think?"

"My lord, this caravan is disguised by the people of Ningnan. Wu Nian said: "We have not been able to find out how Ningnan secretly financed Shi Kaiwen, and now it can be determined that the people of Ningnan have always disguised themselves as carpentry merchants to sell wood as a cover, and all the real ones transported are silver." ”

Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, in order to transport silver into the Wind Country, the people of Ningnan supported the puppets they cultivated, and it was also quite painstaking.

Dong Zhe arched his hand and said: "This time, thanks to the cleverness of the adults, they discovered the clues of Ning Nan's fine work, and seized 200,000 taels of silver at once, so that Ning Nan's loss is not small!"

"If it weren't for the snow, I wouldn't have discovered the secrets in these cedar trees. Shangguan Xiu smiled at Qian Jin and said: "Ah Jin, haven't you been worrying about the silver to buy grain recently, now it's okay, we have an extra 200,000 taels of silver out of thin air, which is enough to buy a large amount of grain." ”

Qian Jin nodded his head, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Brother Xiu, I suspect that there will not be only this batch of people smuggling silver in Ningnan, we should set up a card in Huya Pass, and detain all the wood merchants who enter and exit the customs for inspection." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled, waved his hand and said, "In this way, we will only startle the snake, and it will be difficult to seize Ningnan's silver in the future." ”

"What does Brother Xiu mean ......"

"Just pretend that nothing has happened, and secretly investigate the wooden caravans entering and exiting the customs. Shangguan Xiu was talking, and Duan Qiyue and Xiao Jue walked in from outside. He looked at the two of them and asked, "Did the man confess?"

Shangguan Xiu knocked out one of the caravan drivers, who he had handed over to Shadow Banner for interrogation. Duan Qiyue and Xiao definitely glanced at each other, shook their heads, and said, "Brother Xiu, the one who was captured...... He's dead. ”

"Dead, didn't I remind you to pull out the fangs from his mouth?" Shangguan Xiu asked puzzled.

"He killed himself by biting his tongue. Duan Qiyue shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment, laughed out loud, and said: "If you die, you will die, these people are all dead soldiers, even if they are alive, we may not be able to knock on his mouth." ”

"I'm sorry, Brother Xiu, it was a dereliction of duty on my subordinates who failed to force the other party to find out their true identity. Duan Qiyue clenched his fists, his face annoyed.

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said slowly: "No matter who the other party's true identity is, in short, the other party will not throw away these 200,000 taels of silver in vain, if nothing happens, they will definitely send someone to find the door, and when the time comes, the identity of the other party will be known." ”

He wouldn't have predicted the prophet, but he had guessed it right this time. That night, Shangguan Xiu had dinner and was reading in the study, when Xiao Jue walked in from outside, intervened in the ceremony, and said, "Brother Xiu, there is a person outside who claims to be Song Huai who asks to see him. ”

"What's the matter?" Shangguan Xiu asked without raising his head.

He said that he wanted to get back the 200,000 taels of silver deposited with Brother Xiu. Xiao Jue said cautiously.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu put down the scroll in his hand and laughed out loud, the other party really sent someone. He nodded and said, "Take him to the study to meet me." ”

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Xiao Jue agreed, turned around and walked out quickly.

It didn't take long for him to bring in a polite middle-aged man from outside. This man has a white face and a black beard, is in his early forties, of medium stature, well-dressed, and exudes an air of elegance between his hands and feet.

After he entered the study, he looked at Shangguan Xiu, who was sitting behind the table and holding a scroll, bowed his hand, and said, "Villain Song Huai, see Lord Shangguan!"
