Su Pengfei is an old fritter in the officialdom, and he speaks rigorously, so that people can't catch flaws. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment, and said to Meng Tian: "Temporarily detain Zong Nan and Lu Song!"

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Meng Tian agreed, walked up to Zong Nan and Lu Song, patted them on the shoulder, and said, "Two generals, get up!"

"Brother Xiu......" The two looked at Shangguan Xiu blankly, but the latter had turned his head to Zhang De and didn't look at the two of them. Under the pull of Mengtian, Zong Nan and Lu Song walked out of the room in three steps and turned around like frosted eggplants.

Zhang De is the hall master of the Anyang branch of Shura Hall, in his early thirties, he was born with a polite and polite nature, and he looks like a weak scholar, but in fact, Zhang De is a first-class spiritual martial arts master.

"Zhang De, you tell me the whole thing in detail. ”

Zhang De nodded in response.

After the gendarmerie entered Anyang, Zhang Deyou went to see Zong Nan and Lu Song and asked him if there was anything they needed help with.

At that time, Lu Song proposed that he hoped that the branch hall would find a safe place to house the gendarmerie and the official money transported. Zhang De did not hesitate, and immediately nodded and agreed, proposing to place the official bank in the hall.

However, Dong Cheng, the supervisor who was present at the time, said lightly: "Millions of taels of official silver is not a small amount, how can you find a place to store it casually? In any case, the Shura Hall is not an official government after all, and the official silver is stored in the Shura Hall

It was Dong Cheng's inadvertent words that made Zong Nan change his mind. After all, the Anyang branch hall is just a branch hall, and he doesn't know anything about the situation of the branch hall.

In the end, Zong Nan adopted Dong Cheng's opinion and did not deposit the official silver in the Anyang Branch, but in the county guard's mansion.

As Shangguan Xiu expected, the county guard Huo Lin was not in the county guard mansion, and most of the women in the mansion were dependents, and the gendarmerie were all adult men, so it was indeed not convenient to move in in large numbers.

Zong Nan and Lu Song selected two hundred elite brothers to live in the county guard mansion and guard the official silver. In addition, in addition to them, there are also many county soldiers and family members inside and outside the county guard's mansion, which are heavily defended and guard the official silver, which should be foolproof.

That night, the county guard's wife, Huo, held a banquet in the mansion to entertain the gendarmerie headed by Zong Nan and Lu Song.

During the banquet, Huo Shi toasted frequently, doing his best to please him, and in and out of his words, he also hoped that the two of them could speak more for Huo Lin in front of Shangguan Xiu, and if Huo Lin could be transferred back to the city to take up his post, it would be great.

After all, the county guard is only a local official, and how can he be compared with those high-ranking and powerful ministers in the court? It is reasonable for the Huo family to take advantage of the opportunity of the gendarmerie to move in to their house and pave the way for their husband's official career.

Zong Nan and Lu Song were both born in the army, they liked the things in the cup, and the Huo family could speak good ways, so the more they drank wine, and finally they both got drunk.

The main general was still so unvigilant, and the soldiers below were even more relaxed, scrambling to pour wine one by one. When the robbers forced their way into the county guard's house, none of the gendarmerie woke up to fight, and from the beginning to the end, it was the county army that resisted the robbers.

However, the robbers were not only numerous, but also strong in spirit, and the county army suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, the robbers simply killed the county army in the county guard mansion and robbed all the five million taels of silver.

The whole process happened very quickly, before and after, not even two quarters of an hour.

However, the crime occurred in the middle of the night, and the city gates of Anyang were closed, and the people in the city could not get out at all, let alone transport as much as five million taels of silver out of the city, and not long after the incident, the whole city of Anyang was under martial law, and the robbers had no chance to leave the city at all.

Zhang De carefully explained the cause and effect of the whole incident to Shangguan Xiuzai. The latter rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Did the county army see the robbers clearly?"

"I didn't see it clearly!" Zhang De shook his head and said, "At that time, the robbers were all covered with spirit armor, and I couldn't see their specific appearance clearly!"

Shangguan Xiu fell into contemplation again and pondered for a long time, and he found a key figure from Zhang De's narration, Dong Cheng.

If it weren't for Dong Cheng's fanning of the flames, Zong Nan and Lu Song would have placed Guanyin in the branch hall of Shura Hall. He asked, "Who is the Dong Cheng you are talking about?"

"Dong Cheng is the deputy envoy of the financial government, and he escorts the official bank with the army, mainly to supervise on the road. ”

"Where is Dong Cheng now?"

"Brother Xiu, he ...... It's dead. ”

"Dead?"

"When the robbers attacked the county guard, the brothers of the gendarmerie were all sleeping with their heads covered because they were drunk, and only Dong Cheng ran out to protect the silver, and as a result, he was killed by the robbers. Zhang De said quietly: "Now, Dong Cheng's body is still collected in the county guard's mansion. ”

The deputy envoy of the financial government, who is of the third grade, is not a petty official, and he did not expect to die at the hands of a group of robbers, which is embarrassing.

However, Shangguan Xiu felt that this matter was strange, Dong Cheng was one of the main reasons why the gendarmerie kept the official money in the county guard's mansion, and as a result, he died again, and there was no proof of his death, even if he was suspicious, he couldn't find out.

"It's just time for him to die!"

Zhang De nodded, and said quietly: "Dong Cheng is indeed unbelievably dead. ”

He is a minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and he is only a civilian official, and when the robbers attack, he has not had time to hide, so how can he take the initiative to protect the silver? These days, Zhang De has been investigating this case, and he is also most familiar with the whole case.

Dong Cheng is the most critical person in the case, his death is equivalent to bringing this case into a dead end, Zhang De feels that the robbers killed Dong Cheng, it is very likely that they are killing people, but unfortunately yes, he has no evidence in his hands.

Shangguan Xiu changed his words and asked, "Have you investigated the Huo family?"

Zhang De nodded and responded: "Brother Xiu, my subordinates have carefully checked, the Huo family was born in Qinglou, and was later ransomed by the county guard Huo Lin and became Huo Lin's concubine, over the years, Huo Lin's wives and concubines have passed away one after another, and Huo Lin has also become the official lady of Huo Lin's side from a concubine, and Huo Lin has not accepted any more concubines since then, this woman is not simple!"

This is Zhang De's evaluation of Huo after investigating her. Whether Huo Lin's previous wife and concubine were killed by the Huo family or not, the matter is too long ago, and he really can't find out, but just by the fact that she was a woman in a green building and finally sat on the throne of the county guard's wife, it can be seen that this woman's scheming and the city government.

Seeing Shangguan Xiu's frowns, Zhang De suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, the Huo family has no relatives, and she has never been in contact with outsiders after marrying into the Huo family for so many years. ”

Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but laugh out loud, he now felt that Anyang was not a city, but like a big net, a big net that someone had carefully designed and prepared for himself.

Before the gendarmerie arrived in Anyang, they had already made every drop of this big net leak.

He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and after walking for a long time, he suddenly stopped and asked, "All the places in the city have been searched, and nothing has been missed?"

Zhang De thought about it carefully and said, "If you want to say that there are still places that have not been searched, there are only three silver horns left!"

"Three silver trumpets?"

"The Song family's Kaiyuan Silver Horn, the Cai Family's Baofeng Money Village, and our Shura Hall's Sitong Silver Horn. Zhang De said with a wry smile: "Baofeng Qianzhuang and Kaiyuan Silver have the Cai family and the Song family as backers, our people can't enter, and the brothers of the county army and the gendarmerie can't get in!"

"Silver Trumpet!" Shangguan Xiu muttered, where the silver is hidden is the least easy to be discovered, of course, it is hidden in the silver trumpet.

In this incident, it is obvious that someone is secretly setting up a situation for himself, and the purpose is to first attack the gendarmerie through the loss of official money, and then use the gendarmerie as a springboard to hit his own head.

And those who dare to do such a big thing, who do not hesitate to take risks in order to deal with themselves, are full of people, and I am afraid that only Cai Xiao and Song Sheng are the only ones. Shangguan Xiu squinted his eyes, shook his head at the scene and said, "Let's go, you guys will accompany me to the Sitong Silver No. first." ”

"Brother Xiu, the Sitong Silver Horn is our own Silver Horn!" Xiao Jue reminded in a low voice beside him.

"Since we want to check the silver number, we must check it all, and we will lead by example ourselves. As he spoke, Shangguan Xiu looked at Su Pengfei, the deputy county lieutenant, and said, "Master Su!"

"The lower official is here, what do you command?"

"Take your county army and follow me to search for the Sitong Silver Number!" Shangguan Xiu said categorically.

"This ...... This...... There's no need for this, right?" "In the past, Su Pengfei really didn't know that the Sitong Silver Number was originally Shangguanxiu's industry, but now that he knows, where does he dare to search for it?"

Shangguan Xiu glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "In the investigation of the case, doesn't Master Su think that everyone should be treated equally?"

Let the county army go to check the Sitong silver number, Shangguan Xiu also made it for the imperial court to see, the purpose is to avoid suspicion, at least it can be proved that the lost silver is not in the hands of Shuratang.

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu's face was not good, Su Pengfei didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Yes...... Yes, my lord, I'm going to gather the soldiers!"

After Su Peng flew away, Shangguan Xiu turned his head sideways and said, "Mengtian!"

"The subordinates are here!"

Shangguan Xiu took off a jade plaque from his waist, handed it to Meng Tian, and said, "You hold my token, go to the Sitong Silver Number first, and go into the silver vault to check if there is any silver of unknown origin!"

The silver treasury is heavy, involving real money and silver, and in the entire Shura Hall, only two people can enter and exit the silver treasury at will, one is Shangguan Xiu, and the other is Qian Jin, who is in charge of the Sitong silver number.

Hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, Meng Tian and the faces of everyone present also changed, and the former said in horror: "Brother Xiu thinks that the lost treasury silver will be in our Sitong Silver Account?"

If that's the case, it's terrifying. Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "It's always right to be careful! Through this incident, can't you still see that our opponent's supernatural powers are vast?"

Now in Anyang, no matter how bizarre things happen, he will not be too surprised, even if the batch of robbed treasury silver is really placed in the silver treasury of Sitong Yinhao.
