After watching it for several days, Shen Yu finally decided to buy the old king's palace from the emperor.

Although he was persuaded by Qi Cheng'an many times, Shen Yu still felt that the mansion was very suitable for him regardless of its geographical location or the size of the mansion.

and soon sent someone to Yuzhou to pick up Shen's father and Shen's mother into Beijing.

The palace looks like a beautiful scenery, but in fact, it does not cover a large area.

It's a few yards smaller than Zhining Mansion.

Therefore, Shen Yu quickly cleaned out a courtyard and moved in.

Xie Yunyan and Qi Cheng'an, as his only friends in Kyoto, rushed to congratulate him as soon as possible.

While congratulating, I also learned a good news from Shen Yu's mouth.

"I don't know if I don't check, it turns out that the matter of the Dragon and Tiger Dart Bureau is really strange."

Unconsciously, three young people of the same age have tacitly let down their guard against each other and trusted each other.

After Shen Yu learned that the Dragon and Tiger Dart Bureau was very likely to be related to the case of the loss of official silver investigated by Qi Chengan, he used the forces of the rivers and lakes that he had not touched for a long time, and quickly found out the results.

"That batch of official silver is 300,000 taels, and when it arrived in the hands of the prefect of Yuzhou, someone personally counted it, and the amount is correct."

"On the day when the prefect opened a warehouse and released the silver, all the official silver was replaced with stones of the same weight, and the prefect was immediately dumbfounded, and His Majesty also corrected him on the spot because of the prefect's dereliction of duty."

The people of Yuzhou put their hopes on the silver for disaster relief, who knew that they had waited for so long but waited for nothing?

The people were forced to be in a hurry, and everyone rushed to the streets, accusing the court of incompetence!

It was the newly appointed prefect who brought the officers and soldiers to suppress it, and the people were hungry, angry but powerless, that quelled the riot.

Qi Chengan nodded, "I also heard about this in Kyoto at that time. ”

Xie Yunyan may have known about it before, but now that he heard it for the first time, he was inevitably curious in his heart, so he only listened silently.

Shen Yu said again: "It was when the people rioted, a dart team left Yuzhou. ”

At that time, the Dragon and Tiger Dart Game was nothing more than a mediocre small force.

Usually not inconspicuous, only accept some insignificant small business.

However, that time, everyone in the dart bureau was dispatched, led by the dart head himself, and walked out of Yuzhou City.

Qi Chengan frowned, "Which way did you go?" Why did you go missing? The officers and soldiers defending the city didn't notice anything abnormal? ”

"Not long after that, the officers and soldiers returned to their hometown on the grounds that their mother was seriously ill."

Shen Yu said everything he found word for word.

"Quit?" Qi Chengan screamed, "That's for sure!" ”

Xie Yunyan also nodded, "Can the movements of the Dragon and Tiger Dart Bureau be traced clearly?" ”

In Shen Yu's mood, Xie Yunyan didn't believe that he had only found out these and came to inform them.

Shen Yu's face became even more difficult to look at, he shook his head and said, "Checked, the entire dart team has never come out since they entered the mountain." ”

"Into the mountains?"

Xie Yunyan and Qi Chengan asked at the same time.

Shen Yu sighed slightly: "There is also a cottage in that mountain range, and the leader of the mountain bandits heard that he is called Ma Da in charge, and he has led hundreds of people, and his reputation in the local area is very loud. I've already sent someone to follow up, I don't know if it will be the Martha boss. ”

In fact, Shen Yu subconsciously didn't think that he was the master of Martha.

He doesn't know where the destination of the Dragon and Tiger Dart Bureau is, but how can a dart team that wants to escort a large number of goods know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to Tiger Mountain?

What's more, although the hundreds of people in charge of Martha are numerous, assuming that the 300,000 taels of official silver is the hand of Martha in charge, then he can completely wash his hands in a golden basin and be a rich party, so why live on the edge of the knife?

"Martha is in charge?" Qi Chengan's two thick eyebrows were so frowning that they were about to form a line.

He tilted his head and thought about it, and he always felt that the name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"What's wrong with Martha's master?"

Just when the three of them were deep in thought, Ning Shu walked in with a plate of freshly washed fruit and Madame Qi.

Qi Chengan hurriedly got up and helped Mrs. Qi to the chair and sat down, and then asked Xiang Ningshu: "Mrs. Xie knows this mountain bandit leader?" ”

Ning Shu smiled lightly and glanced at Xie Yunyan with a hint of banter, "The two adults don't know anything, and there is also a boss hiding in the shadows. ”

"Is there anyone behind him?" Xie Yunyan was surprised: "How do you know? ”

"Because I know his boss." Ning Shu smiled, put down the fruit plate, and sat down at the table.

Qi Chengan threw himself to the ground at Ning Shu's admiration, and hurriedly said: "I didn't expect Mrs. Xie to have such skills, I wonder if Mrs. Xie can talk about the 'boss'?" ”

Ning Shu couldn't hide her smile, and her shoulders were swaying slightly.

"Actually, everyone here knows this 'boss' here—"

"Who?" Mrs. Qi liked these brain-stirring questions the most, and suddenly pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be you?" ”

Ning Shu's gaze slowly fixed on Xie Yunyan's face with a hint of playfulness, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

"It's you?!" Qi Chengan suddenly jumped up from the chair and slapped his head with a sudden realization, "Yes!" It's you! I remember! You lied to death then—"

was reminded by Qi Chengan, and Mrs. Qi also figured it out.

Only Shen Yu and Xie Yunyan looked at Ning Shu blankly.

Ning Shu told the story of that time.

After hearing this, Shen Yu also joined the group that mocked Xie Yunyan.

"It turns out that before I met Brother Xie, Brother Xie was still the leader of the mountain bandits?!"

Xie Yunyan was extremely uncomfortable with Shen Yu's jokes, and confirmed to Ning Shu again, "Does the master of Martha really call me the boss?" ”

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Yuanwu and Xuanfeng." Ning Shu replied nonchalantly.

Xie Yunyan's brows wrinkled deeper, he never expected that he would have such a past that he could not look back on.

"It seems that this matter still needs to trouble Brother Xie." Qi Chengan looked at Xie Yunyan with a smile.

Xie Yunyan glanced at Qi Cheng'an, and replied inexplicably: "According to Madame's statement, I also took control of Ma Da as an expedient measure at that time, and I don't own that force, how can I help you?" ”

Ning Shu also complied: "Although my time in contact with the Martha family is still shallow, on the surface, this person has no courage and no scheming. To say that such a large amount of official silver was designed and taken away by him, I don't believe it. ”

"No one should be a disgrace." Qi Chengan said: "Whether it's him or not, how can you know the truth without investigating?" ”

Shen Yu also felt that the key to the matter was in charge of Martha, so he nodded and said, "The person I sent should return to Beijing soon, if he fails to enter the cottage, the matter may really have to be taken over by Brother Xie." ”
