The disaster relief silver is not easy to come by, let alone 100,000 taels, even if you only lose a few hundred or thousands of taels, you can't explain it to Li Zheng.

Liu Erlang was shirtless and carrying thorns on his back, kneeling on the martial arts arena of the East Factory.

The errand soldier, who practiced martial arts diligently, turned a blind eye to Liu Erlang and kept repeating the same movements like a machine.

The arsenal of the East Factory was specially divided into a small warehouse, which contained fifty cannons on display.

Seeing the black barrel, Wei Xiaobao's heart fluctuated.

With these cannons, you can easily capture a fortified city.

Li Hao must be very happy when he takes Nanming, and when the cannon goes off, he will be able to wake up Li Hao.

"Master, Lord Tobe Liu is kneeling on the martial arts arena and refuses to leave." Wei Qi accepted Liu Erlang's benefits and came to inform Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "Let him kneel." ”

"Master, Lord Liu has been kneeling for two hours." Wei Qi said boldly.

Wei Xiaobao chuckled: "How much did you take?" ”

"Five, five hundred taels." Wei Qi touched the back of his head, then took out a silver ticket from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao gently patted Wei Qi's head and walked towards the martial arts arena with a smile.

Wei Qi smiled and put away the silver ticket.

"Meet the Overseer." Seeing Wei Xiaobao appear, hundreds of people on the martial arts arena knelt down at the same time, shouting like thunder.

Wei Xiaobao said: "Let's rest." ”

When everyone heard this, they continued to practice hard.

Their strength improved very slowly, and even if Wei Xiaobao let them rest, they would continue to practice.

Although it was early spring, the wind was still a little cold on a cloudy day.

Liu Erlang was naked, kneeling in the cold wind for a long time, his fat body trembling slightly.

Wei Xiaobao took out the thorn strip on his back and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, why are you so troubled?" ”

The thorn strip is very soft and strong, even if Liu Erlang's back is pulled open, the thorn strip will not break.

This Jingtiao Liu Erlang deliberately chose for a long time, in order to show Wei Xiaobao his determination.

"The disaster relief silver is lost, and the household department is to blame, and the lower officials are worried about His Majesty's ......" Liu Erlang didn't want to hit the knife at this juncture.

Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "This disaster relief silver is not personally escorted by Lord Liu, and it can't be relied on by Lord Liu if it is lost, unless Lord Liu is secretly making trouble and swallowing this batch of disaster relief silver." ”

"Overseer, even if you give the lower officials a hundred guts, the lower officials will not dare to embezzle the disaster relief money privately." Liu Erlang's body trembled violently, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped to the ground.

Wei Xiaobao smiled and helped Liu Erlang up, and said: "The disaster relief silver has its own East Factory to recover, Lord Liu only needs to do his job well and don't go wrong again." ”

"The great favor of the overseer, the lower official ......" Liu Erlang was overjoyed when he heard this, and slapped his ass fiercely.

Kowloon City is close to the Southern Ming Dynasty and can be regarded as the gateway of the Great Wei to the south.

If Li Hao wants to go north, he must first take Kowloon City.

Therefore, Wei Xiaobao was quite concerned about the disaster in Kowloon City, so he asked the household department to allocate 100,000 taels of silver to help the people of Kowloon City tide over the difficulties.

The imperial court sent heavy troops to escort it, and there were Dongchang servants to follow, but there were still people who dared to touch this batch of disaster relief silver.

Although Li Hao is in Nanming, he must have left a lot of eyeliner in Chang'an.

Every move in Chang'an City will reach Li Hao's ears.

Nine times out of ten, the robbers of this disaster relief silver are related to Li Hao.

Wei Xiaobao decided to investigate in person, and by the way, he explored the way south, and when the recruitment of the military department was over, he might be able to lead the army south and take Li Hao's head.

Wei Xiaobao took Tie Feixue and Tong Guan, ordered two hundred errands, and went straight to Kowloon City.

The place where the disaster relief silver disappeared, before it reached Kowloon City, there was a canyon called Kowloon Canyon.

The Kowloon Canyon can be called a line of sky, very steep, and an excellent place for ambush.

At that time, the officers and soldiers who escorted the disaster relief silver into the Jiulong Gorge never came out.

The prefect of Kowloon, Xia Youhe, couldn't wait for the disaster relief silver for a long time, so he sent people to check it, but he didn't see the officers and soldiers escorting the disaster relief silver.

Knowing that Wei Xiaobao, the overseer of Dongchang, came to investigate in person, Xia Youhe asked people to guard the Jiulong Canyon every day, and once he saw the people from Dongchang, he would immediately rush over.

This case is really weird, he has done a lot of investigation, but unfortunately nothing has been found.

The Kowloon Canyon is surrounded by cliffs on both sides, making it difficult for apes to climb.

It is very difficult to send 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver away from the top of the valley, not to mention that it is very difficult, but it is also very eye-catching.

On this side of the canyon, the officers and soldiers of Kowloon City are responsible for responding, and if the thieves are active on the top of the valley, the officers and soldiers can easily find out.

"It's not heaven, it's not underground, it's just two sides." Tie Feixue herself is a master at solving crimes, and she doesn't believe that people can suddenly disappear without leaving any traces.

Wei Xiaobao smiled and asked, "Feixue means that there is a secret way?" ”

Tie Feixue nodded, there must be a secret passage on the mountain walls on both sides.

The Nine Dragons Canyon is also famous in the rivers and lakes, and some caravans are often looted here.

Those robbers are like immortals, coming and going without a trace, very mysterious.

Later, a legend gradually formed in this area, that is, if you want to pass through the Nine Dragons Canyon safely, you must first worship the land of the mountain gods and get the protection of the gods.

Tie Feixue immediately ordered: "There must be a secret passage in the canyon, look for it carefully, and don't let go of any suspicious corner." ”

Just as the officers were taking action, Xia Youhe came panting with a group of officers and soldiers.

"The next official is late, please ask the overseer to condemn him." Xia Youhe breathed steadily, trying to keep his tone steady.

Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "Lord Xia is very calm." ”

Xia Youhe wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and didn't dare to answer.

"Lord Xia, I heard that on both sides of the Nine Dragons Canyon, there are statues of the gods of the mountain god land, and the caravans in the past have the habit of worshipping the gods, as long as there is enough silver left, the gods will bless them to pass through the Nine Dragons Canyon safely, but is this the case?" Tie Feixue asked in a low voice.

Xia Youhe took a deep breath and said, "This lord is right, there is indeed such a custom in the Nine Dragons Canyon. ”

"Don't you think this is strange?" Tie Feixue asked with a smile.

A cold sweat broke out on Xia Youhe's forehead again, and he said extremely uneasily: "My lord means that someone is pretending to be a ghost?" ”

Tie Feixue carefully observed Xia Youhe's gaze, only to feel that this guy's eyes were always dodging, obviously there was a ghost in his heart.

Wei Xiaobao also noticed this, and chuckled: "Tong Guan, call everyone back." ”

Tong Guan nodded and released a hidden arrow.

The Sleeve Arrow soared into the air and exploded a nine-colored lotus flower in the air.

This sleeve arrow is made by the best pyrotechnic master in Chang'an City.

All the officers saw the signal and quickly turned back.

Wei Xiaobao patted Xia Youhe's shoulder and sneered: "Lord Xia, do you confess honestly yourself, or wait for me to castrate you before confessing?" ”

"The Overseer let ...... Xiaguan ...... Explain what? Xia Youhe clenched his fists, and his body trembled slightly.

Tie Feixue pulled out her sword, pressed it against Xia Youhe's neck, and asked angrily, "Who robbed the disaster relief silver?" ”

"Xiaguan...... I don't know. Xia Youhe's legs weakened and he fell to his knees.

Wei Xiaobao smiled and ordered, "Feixue, you take someone to invite all the relatives of Lord Xia over." ”

"Yes." Tie Feixue nodded in agreement.
