Chapter 797 Arrangement
You Ling subconsciously looked at Shangguan Xiu and didn't dare to say anything more. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This time it was the gendarmerie that escorted the official silver, and there were quite a few of them, there was a corps, tens of thousands of soldiers, and the most important point was that the silver was robbed in the county city, even if there was no gendarme, the county army alone was not something that ordinary robbers could deal with.
There is only one possibility that the official bank was robbed in the county town, and someone is guarding and stealing it, so the gendarmerie in charge of escorting it is the biggest object of suspicion.
You Ling understands this, Tang Ling understands this, and Shangguan Xiu understands this even more.
To say that it should be and Ziyin's ambitions are very big, Shangguan Xiu will never doubt this, but if it is said that he and Ziyin are guarding and stealing, and they hit the idea of five million official silver, Shangguan Xiu doesn't believe it anyway.
Now is the rise of the two of them, and their careers are bright, and it would be stupid to say that they would destroy their future for the sake of five million.
Besides, the two of them are in charge of the gendarmerie and hold great power, if they really want silver, just the money from the children of the family to give gifts and go through the back door will not be much less than the five million taels of silver, so why take such a big risk? Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said: "Since it is the gendarmerie that caused the incident, the gendarmerie must be responsible for this matter to the end, and the five million official silver, the gendarmerie must be recovered!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Tang Ling and said, "I'll take a trip to Anyang to see what happened over there!" Words, brother free of charge without bullet window to watch the next chapter
Tang Ling asked, "When is Ah Xiu going to leave?"
"Without further ado, I'll leave tonight!"
Tang Ling frowned, tonight was the wedding night for the two of them. You Ling was clever, Tang Ling's brows only frowned slightly, and he immediately understood her thoughts.
He cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Today is the wedding day of Your Majesty and Your Highness, although the incident happened suddenly, Your Highness ...... Your Highness should wait until tomorrow to deal with it!" "Shangguan Xiu is no longer a quasi-national duke, but an official national duke, and You Ling has also changed his name to His Royal Highness.
Shangguan Xiu looked at You Ling, then at Tang Ling, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll leave tomorrow and go to Anyang!"
You Ling didn't dare to stay in the palace any longer to disturb, he kowtowed to Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu again, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Weichen retires!"
After receiving Tang Ling's signal, You Ling bowed and retreated step by step, until he retreated to the door of the main hall, then turned around and walked out quickly.
When he walked away, Tang Ling frowned and asked, "Ah Xiu, who do you think will be responsible for this?"
She was like a mirror in her heart, this matter, no matter who did it, it could not be Shangguan Xiu's doing, Zhenjun was indeed the poorest county in the Wind Country before, and now, Zhen County has become the richest county in the Wind Country, almost all the armaments in the Wind Country are produced in Zhen County, Shangguan Xiu's gold and silver in his hands are probably more than the gold and silver in the imperial treasury, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a rich country, for others, five million taels of silver is an astronomical amount, but for Shangguan Xiu, he will not take it seriously.
Shangguan Xiu shook his head thoughtfully, although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say: "I don't know who did it, but the biggest possibility is that the guards are stealing themselves." ”
How could it be that tens of thousands of gendarmes, plus more than 10,000 county soldiers, could not guard the silver in the county town? Even if he had robbed it, he would not have been able to rob so much silver under the protection of so many soldiers.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Xiang'er has been tired all day, rest early, I'll deal with it first!" As he spoke, he stood up and made a gesture to go out.
Tang Ling grabbed his sleeve, he looked at her puzzledly, and she said with a straight face: "Ah Xiu, you have to remember that no matter when, no matter what happens, I believe you." ”
A warm current flowed in Shangguan Xiu's heart. He shook Tang Ling's hand and said with a smile: "This matter is handled by me, as a husband, I should shelter my mother from the wind and rain!"
Tang Ling was amused by his words and said, "Go and come back quickly, I'll wait for you!"
Shangguan Xiu nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked out of the dormitory quickly. Outside, the smile on his face disappeared. Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei stepped forward, first bowed and saluted, and then asked with concern, "Brother Xiu, what happened?"
What You Ling said in the dormitory just now, the two of them didn't hear it, but the number one person in the Duwei Mansion went straight to the dormitory at this time to face the saint, and he could guess without asking, something must have happened.
Shangguan Xiu said in a deep voice: "The disaster relief silver that the gendarmerie transported to Ning County was robbed in Anyang!"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei were both taken aback, if they remembered correctly, the gendarmerie transported five million taels of silver this time, all of which were robbed?
Shangguan Xiu said: "Absolutely!"
"The subordinates are here!" "You leave the palace immediately and find Zhao Chen to enter the palace to see me! Also, bring Dangdang, Ziyin, as well as Yuan Mu, Qin Chuan, and Meng Tian, and I will wait in the imperial study!"
"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Xiao Jue agreed, his body flickered, and the person suddenly disappeared in front of Shangguan Xiu, leaving only a few faint wisps of black mist in the air. Wu Yufei muttered, "How could five million taels of silver be robbed in the county town?"
"Yes, it's really incredible!" Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said quietly.
The Imperial Study.
Shangguan Xiu borrowed the imperial study, but he didn't sit on the dragon chair without knowing how to scare it, but sat on the side chair on the side. The red clothes on his body had been taken off and replaced with a simple and neat green clothes.
Zhao Chen was the first to arrive. Since he entered the imperial study, his body has been bowed, his head is not raised, and he does not dare to breathe.
He is Shangguan Xiu's old subordinate, in front of Shangguan Xiu, he is not so restrained, mainly this is the imperial study, the emperor's office, no matter who it is, when he enters here, he will be in awe.
"Brother Xiu!" Zhao Chen walked up to Shangguan Xiu and bowed respectfully.
Shangguan Xiu didn't say a word of nonsense, and asked bluntly: "Chen, have you heard about what happened in Anyang?"
Zhao Chen stammered, "Subordinate...... My subordinates have just received the news!"
"Find out who did it?"
"For the time being, no clues have been found yet!"
Shangguan Xiu changed his words and asked, "Who is the general of the gendarmerie who is in charge of escorting this time?"
"It's the commander of the Second Corps of the Gendarmerie, General Zong Nanzong!"
For Zong Nan, Shangguan Xiu is naturally no stranger. He is an old man in the Zhenjun army, and he was born as a lieutenant in the Huyaguan battalion.
When Shangguan Xiu was assigned to Huya Pass, he was the first batch of people who chose to take refuge in Shangguan Xiu, over the years, followed Shangguan Xiu to fight in the south and the north, was born and died, and made great achievements, and belonged to one of the veterans of the Zhenjun Army.
Hearing Zhao Chen say Zong Nan's name, Shangguan Xiu fell silent, and for a moment, the imperial study became silent, leaving only the click of his fingers hitting the table.
After a while, Zhao Chen raised his arm, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his cuffs, and said cautiously: "Brother Xiu, General Zong is a rough man, upright, and doesn't have so many fancy intestines, he ...... He would never do anything to steal from himself......"
Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly, looked at Zhao Chen meaningfully, and said: "Even we think that the biggest possibility of the robbery of the official bank is the theft of the guards, then, in the hearts of others, I am afraid that this matter has already been determined to be committed by the gendarmerie." If this case is not clear, the official money cannot be recovered, and the gendarmerie is at a loss for words, who will all the spearheads be pointed at in the end?"
Zhao Chen's forehead broke out with more cold sweat, who will be the final spearhead pointed at? Needless to say, it must be Shangguan Xiu! He frowned and said: "Brother Xiu, I think this incident, someone must be deliberately targeting the gendarmerie, and even more so against Brother Xiu......
"Don't you understand me?"
"That's not what the subordinates mean......"
While they were talking, Xiao Jue walked in from outside and said, "Brother Xiu, it should be Dang, Ziyin, Amu, Lao Qin, and Meng Tian have all arrived!"
"Let Yuan Mu, Qin Chuan, and Mengtian come in to see me!"
"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Xiao Jue didn't go out for a long time, and Yuan Mu, Qin Chuan, and Meng Tian rushed in.
When they came in, their reaction was the same as Zhao Chen just now, they lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to squint at all, they only dared to look at their own toes. When Shangguan Xiu approached, the three of them saluted and said in unison: "Brother Xiu!"
"You've all heard about what happened in Anyang, right?"
"Yes, Brother Xiu!"
"What do you think?"
"It's hard to say now, you need to go to Anyang to investigate before you can make a judgment!"
Shangguan Xiu glanced at the three of them and said, "Yuan Mu, Qin Chuan!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"The two of you immediately send a letter to the branch of the Shura Hall in Anyang, asking the brothers of the branch to do their best to investigate the robbed official money, and also, in the name of the Shura Hall, send a letter to the gendarmerie to remove Zong Nan from all positions in the Tangkou and the gendarmerie, and the second corps, temporarily has the deputy corps commander Lu Song take over. In addition, he ordered Lu Song to lead the gendarmes to unite with the county army to completely blockade the whole city of Anyang, and anyone was only allowed to enter, not to go out.
Shangguan Xiu gave such an order, which also made sense. Five million taels of silver, which is a small amount, and the carriage alone must be loaded with at least twenty or thirty carts. Robbers can rob the silver, but they want to transport so much silver out of Anyang City in full view of everyone, and it is like ascending to the sky. Seal off the whole city, and the silver will remain in the city, and as long as the money is still in the city, it will be much easier for you to find it.
"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Yuan Mu and Qin Chuan agreed, and then looked at Shangguan Xiu with blank eyes, and when he waved his hand, the two of them turned around and walked out quickly. Shangguan Xiu continued: "Mengtian!"
"The subordinates are here!" Meng Tian took a step forward and stepped in to give a salute.
"You will lead the Tang army to Anyang tonight, not only to investigate the robbed official silver, but also to investigate our internal spies, tomorrow, I will also go to Anyang in person to meet you!"
"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Meng Tian intervened, turned around and walked out of the imperial study. At the critical juncture, Shangguan Xiu gave orders continuously, in an orderly manner, and really had the style of a general, which is exactly the quality that has been trained in the long-term campaign.
In front of the two armies, the battle situation is changing rapidly, as the commander-in-chief, any order determines the life and death of thousands of soldiers, in the battlefield of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, Shangguan Xiu can still make a face without changing his color, let alone now?
