Spring goes to the summer solstice, the trees are lush, and the flowers are vibrant. All kinds of birds in the forest sang beautiful songs, and unknown insects squeaked. It's a beautiful place to be.

On the official road leading to the capital, there are two fast horses galloping, and the two people on the horses have no intention of enjoying this beautiful scenery, and blindly gallop on the horses.

These two people are Li Yi and Xiu Chen. It turned out that after the victory at the border pass, the foreign state was unable to invade again in a short time, so Li Yi left Jinjiu to guard the city of Kasai, and rushed to the capital with Xiuchen. Han Shibei's confession has always troubled Li Yi, if Han Shibei's confession is true, some of the important ministers of the imperial court collude with foreign countries to betray the country, then the situation will be extremely dangerous. Therefore, he must immediately go to Beijing to meet the emperor to explain the matter.

There is a secret room in a luxurious mansion in the capital, at this time there is a person sitting on a mahogany chair in the secret room, wearing a hat with a gauze on his head, wearing a bright red satin, sixty years old without a trace of wrinkles, and the ruddy luster of the round white face maintenance, this is the Taifu Yu Wenhong of the dynasty, and now Yu Wenhong is in power in the court, monopolizing the government and politics, excluding dissidents, and selling officials, except for the emperor, it belongs to his greatest right.

Tonight, Yu Wenhong was angrily summoning a person, and there was a person kneeling in front of him, who was kneeling tremblingly in an official uniform and did not dare to speak. Yu Wenhong scolded: "Waste, stupid, what's the use of me raising you, this little thing can't be done, if you let those guys who pretend to be clean officials and loyal ministers seize the handle, they will definitely join me in front of the emperor." The kneeling man hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it is the incompetence of the lower officials, I hope that Lord Taifu will be merciful and give the lower officials a chance to make meritorious service and atone for their sins." ”

Yu Wenhong sighed and said, "Hey, fortunately, Li Yi hasn't seen the emperor yet, and we still have room to maneuver." The kneeling man hurriedly flattered and said, "With the wisdom of Lord Taifu, he will definitely be able to turn danger into a disaster." Yu Wenhong glared at him and said, "You are like this, like this, do it immediately, and then there will be the slightest difference in the pool to kill your dog." The kneeling man hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Taifu, this time the next official will definitely take Li Yi's life." Yu Wenhong flicked his sleeves and said, "Go down." "Yes," the kneeling man kowtowed again, turning and exiting the chamber.

Li Yi and Xiuchen have been staying overnight in the past few days, hurrying up, and they just checked into the Huanggang Post Station in the evening, and they will be able to enter Beijing in two more days. Just about to rest, I suddenly heard a commotion outside, and a team of people came. A sentry from a post station ran in in a panic to report: "General Li, the holy decree has arrived, hurry up outside to receive the holy decree." Li Yi was taken aback and thought: "How did the emperor know that I was going to enter Beijing, it stands to reason that the holy decree should be transmitted to the military camp." "I was really puzzled, so I hurriedly dressed up and walked out of the official mansion.

Li Yi came to the hall and saw a eunuch waiting in the hall with eight royal forest soldiers. Hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "Minister Li Yi takes the order!" The eunuch unfolded the decree and read it aloud: "Li Yi, the general of the town, I am very relieved to hear that you have won a great victory at the border pass, and you hereby have a horse and a thousand taels of silver." In addition, the Huizhou disaster, the imperial court allocated 50,000 taels of disaster relief silver, and ordered Li Yi to send Huizhou to make a mistake. Li Yi hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

Li Yi led Xiuchen to receive the vehicles transporting the silver taels, a total of ten large wooden boxes were sealed with seals and pulled by ten large carriages. After the handover, the eunuch left with the Imperial Guard, leaving only the escort convoy.

Xiuchen looked at the ten carts and said to Li Yi with a smile: "I said general, you see that the emperor treats you very much, and such a big beauty difference is entrusted to you." Li Yi said with a serious face: "I'm afraid this matter won't be so simple. Xiuchen said: "The silver has been brought in, what else does the general have any doubts?" Li Yi analyzed: "This holy decree will not come sooner or later, but we will enter the capital in two days before coming, why does the emperor know our whereabouts, and why don't you wait for us to go to the capital and give us the will?" Xiuchen said impatiently: "General, why are there so many, I'll go to the capital to ask the emperor if it's okay." Li Yi hurriedly stopped Xiuchen and said: "We can't resist and disobey the order, and the disaster relief matter is very important, we can't wait, we will understand everything when we return to Beijing after we complete the disaster relief work." ”

So, Li Yi and Xiuchen pressed ten carts and set off in the direction of Huizhou.

There was nothing on the road, and the convoy came to Huizhou on this day, and Jiang Wenjie, the assassin of Huizhou, was waiting outside the city early. I haven't seen him for four years, Jiang Wenjie has become more and more calm and old, and the official mansion of a second-class official also looks majestic. Li Yi stepped forward to greet him and said, "Big brother, I haven't seen you for four years, are you okay?" Jiang Wenjie stepped forward and grabbed Li Yi's hand in a few steps and said, "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have been promoted to the general of the town, and now you have been promoted to the minister of the Qincha, which is really gratifying!" Let's go into the city and get together. ”

The two entered Huizhou City hand in hand, and the team came to the Yamen of the Assassin History, Jiang Wenjie instructed the housekeeper: "Go and prepare a table of first-class banquets, my second brother and I want to have a good drink." Li Yi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Big brother, let's put the disaster relief silver into the warehouse first and then drink it not too late, so as not to miss a big event." Jiang Wenjie laughed when he heard this, and said: "The second brother is still the original quick temper, okay, it's up to you." He turned around and instructed the captain of the treasury: "Come on, quickly let someone check the number of silver taels and arrange for storage." The captain bowed and went down to make arrangements.

The four officials lifted the wooden box from the first car, removed the seal, opened the lock, and lifted the lid of the box. Suddenly, the four officials exclaimed loudly at the same time: "Ah! The four of them were stunned and motionless like wood carvings and clay sculptures.

Jiang Wenjie was furious and shouted: "Bold, what is the fuss, dare to be presumptuous in front of Lord Qincha." A servant trembled and said, "Big, big, great, big things, it's not good." Jiang Wenjie and Li Yi also realized that something was wrong, and asked at the same time: "What's the matter?" Then the official said, "Two lords, the box is not filled with silver, but with stones." "Ahh Jiang Wenjie and Li Yi were shocked into a cold sweat when they heard this, and they took three steps and two steps and ran to the box to take a closer look, and sure enough, it was a box of stones.

Li Yi hurriedly ordered: "Open all the other boxes immediately." "Yes" All the officials opened all the ten large wooden boxes together, and when everyone saw it, there was one or two pieces of silver, and the ten boxes were all stones.

Suddenly, Jiang Wenjie shouted: "Bold Li Yi, the emperor trusts you so much, you even dare to embezzle the money for disaster relief, come and take down all the people." At this time, more than a hundred soldiers burst out from Hulala from all sides, surrounding Li Yi and these people who were escorting the silver.

Xiao Xiuchen didn't want to be wronged by this, so he lit up King Yu's Shenshuo and shouted: "Ahhh ”

The soldiers around him saw that Xiuchen was about to resist, and they also raised their knives and guns and rushed forward with a "wow", which was a murderous fight.

To know what happened to Li Yi and Xiuchen's lives, please see the next decomposition.
