The south gate of Jinan City.

In addition to the intensification of searches in the city, the inspection of entering and leaving the city gate is even stricter.

"How? But what did you find? ”

Feng Rui slapped his butt on the stool of the city gate official.

After a busy day, there was still no useful discovery in the city, and the six million taels of silver really seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Feng Qi shook his head.

"The gates have not been found here. Today, there are only 65 people and three convoys coming in and out from under this Shuntian Gate, and the convoys are all entering the city, and the 28 people who are out of the city have also been carefully inspected, and they are all big living people. ”

"All living people? Could it be that the Yanshi's means are too high, and you haven't found out? ”

Feng Rui really has a headache, and he wanted to find clues at this city gate.

At this time, it happened that two people were going out of the city.

The Imperial Forest Army guarding the door first checked the road guide, and then carefully touched it up and down, not to mention the gold ingots of fifty taels and one ingots, even the gold teeth in the mouth were pulled out and examined.

Then there is the new rule, Xichang Fanzi took out a large bamboo ring, put it off his head, and took it out from his feet.

Well, that's still a sharp idea.

In order to check the Yanshi's veins.

No matter how treacherous the puppet is, no matter how mysterious the vein is, it can't escape the operation that Feng Rui came up with, and the marionette is wired after all.

It's just not too much temptation, how can the Imperial Forest Army and Xichang Fanzi not even know the difference between the living and the dead.

"Could it be that those thieves are going to stop for a few days, or have the Yanshi left Jinan City?"

Feng Rui muttered, but in his heart, he prayed that he could fight with the green dragon for half an hour, and Yan Shi Zhen left.

"Feng Shaoxia!"

When Feng Rui was in a trance, he was called back to his senses by a call.

In addition to greetings, there is also a foul smell in the nose.

"It turned out to be Steward Zhao, are you going to go out of the city again?"

Feng Rui saw Zhao Steward, who was in charge of raising pigs in Lu Wangfu, and not far away, several swineherds were driving forty or fifty big fat pigs.

Steward Zhao replied respectfully: "Exactly! In order to collect 50,000 taels of silver as soon as possible, my prince had to sell some adult dolphins as soon as possible. ”

Feng Rui nodded and praised "His Royal Highness King Lu is benevolent and righteous!" ”

The Imperial Forest Army and Xichang Fanzi carefully inspected Steward Zhao and the swineherd.

"Pigs check it too!"

Feng Rui shouted a little depressedly.

The Imperial Forest Army and the West Factory are not yin, so what is a pig to check?

What is there to check for the big fat pig.

But no one saw that the Zhao steward of King Lu's mansion was immediately covered with fine sweat.

Feng Qi waved his hand and told Zhao to manage them and leave.

"Big brother, are you stupid! Those people have checked it, so that even if the pig is made into a puppet, it can be found, and what kind of pig can be checked! Feng Qi said.

Feng Rui sighed, and he also whitened the meaning of the little sister, but he was in a hurry.

Even if the pig is made into a puppet, it still has to be controlled by the Yanshi, the city gate is more than ten meters heavily guarded, no matter how powerful the Yanshi is, he can't control the puppet from a distance of more than ten meters.

"Maybe the Yanshi disguises himself as a pig?"

Feng Rui complained hatefully.

Another day.

Before dawn, Yu Huatian hurriedly knocked on the sharp door.

"Brother Fengxian! But the big thing is not good. ”

Yu Huatian pulled up his sharpness, and said with an anxious face: "A large amount of stolen official silver has been found in the Tai'an Prefecture Mansion again!" ”

Feng Rui was still angry to get up, but when he saw that Yu Huatian said that he had found a large number of stolen official silver, he immediately pressed down.

"Tai'an Prefecture? How many stolen official silvers were found? ”

"Thirty thousand taels! Exactly 30,000 taels! ”

Yu Huatian was already trembling as he spoke.

Feng Rui also jumped up after hearing this.

"How is that possible!"

Yu Huatian sighed and said, "Our family has already been inspected, and it is really a stolen official silver." ”

After Yu Huatian finished speaking, he looked at Feng Rui with a puzzled face and said, "Brother Feng Xian, we may really be wrong, those official silver may not be in Jinan City." ”

30,000 taels, six boxes, 1,800 catties, even if it is exchanged for 200 catties, it can be exchanged for nine.

But since the theft of the official bank, the number of people who go out of the city every day is less than 100, even if it is missed once or twice, it will not leak so much.

"How did you find those official silver?"

Feng Rui touched his hairless chin and told himself to calm down.

Feather Huatian frowned.

"That's a strange thing. Last night, the fan of Tai'an Prefecture received a flying letter, saying that the Yamen of the Jinyi Wei Branch of Tai'an Prefecture had stolen official silver, and when our men went, they really found 30,000 taels of stolen official silver. ”

"Jinyi Wei Branch Division? Is Qinglong passing by Tai'an Prefecture? Also passed by Yanzhou Mansion and Xuzhou Mansion? ”

Feng Rui felt that things were becoming less and less simple as the loss of official silver.

"Exactly! The saint has suspended all the actions of Lord Qinglong and imprisoned him in the prison, and Yan Xiang and other ministers have collectively written to thoroughly investigate Jinyiwei, and even our family's West Factory has also been implicated. My father-in-law wrote to me that in a few days, Yan Shifan might replace our family in investigating the theft of official silver. Yu Huatian said bitterly.

"Yan Shifan?"

Hearing this name, Feng Rui's feeling in his heart was even stronger.

Jinyiwei and Xichang are the eyes and ears of the emperor of the Forbidden City, and the ministers of the imperial court are like water and fire.

Now it seems understandable to use the loss of official silver to suppress Jinyiwei and Xichang, but Fengrui always feels a taste of conspiracy.

"It's only 30,000 taels?" Feng Rui asked.

"We don't know, but the official silver found is 30,000 taels. However, the Tai'an Prefecture is much smaller than the Jinan Prefecture, and the Yanzhou Mansion and the Xuzhou Mansion have already controlled the Tai'an Prefecture Prefecture with the city soldiers, but it is not enough to surround it. Yu Huatian replied.

"Humph! I'm afraid that if the two Beijing battalions in Jinan City are mobilized, these silver will really not be found. ”

Feng Rui clapped his hands with a fist, and said firmly, "They thought their plan was seamless, but they didn't know it was self-defeating. Brother Yu, the official silver of the six million taels is still in Jinan City, and the younger brother still had a trace of suspicion before, but now it is confirmed. Throwing a good piece of silver to Jinyiwei, is it really just trying to frame Jinyiwei? Maybe it's one of the reasons, but the bigger reason is that we want to leave this Jinan city. ”

Yuhuatian was already overwhelmed by the above.

"Brother Fengxian, what should we do now?"

"How?"

Feng Rui didn't know what to do for a while, this Jinan Chengzi carefully flipped through it several times, and almost pouted the ground.

Feng Rui took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, let's just leave Jinan City, continue to increase the city defense, and not a single fly will be allowed to fly out in the future." ”

Feng Qi and several people also walked in, and they were also surprised to learn that they had found another 30,000 taels of silver.

"I believe that Brother Feng, the stolen official silver must still be in Jinan City. It's just that the method we originally guessed about going out of the city with official silver doesn't seem to be right, 30,000 taels, and it shouldn't work to rely on the puppet of Yanshi. Long silently analyzed.

Feng Rui also nodded.

"There must be something we don't know about?"

"Could it be that those thieves have dug through the secret passages inside and outside the city?" The little thief guessed.

Feng Qi shook his head.

"Not to mention that the city of Jinan is surrounded by water and can't enter, but it really dug out a secret passage, how can it only transport out 30,000 taels of silver, and should have transported 6 million taels of silver a long time ago, why do you want to send silver to Jinyiwei."

"Maybe it's really all shipped away, and I took out 30,000 taels just to frame Jinyiwei."

The little thief still thought her guess was good.

After listening to the little female thief's speculation, Yu Huatian's heart was half cold, and then he rushed out and began to search around to see if there was a secret passage under the city wall.

On the street of Jinan City.

Although there was a major case of theft of official silver, the streets were not as lively as before, and there were many more Xichang fans, but the people still had to eat and drink.

"Hey! You really shouldn't be involved in this troubled water! ”

Sharp hung his head and wandered around.

Now I haven't even found out how the money was lost.

Although he knew that there was a Yanshi to do it, the Yanshi was wiped out more than fifty years ago, and now there is very little news about them, and it is also a useless clue.

As for the brocade guards and battalion soldiers who guarded Guanyin that night in front of the government office, they couldn't ask anything.

It is said that the ghost fog rose that night, and the thick hand could not see the five fingers, and there was a ghost crying wolf howl, once you get close to the silver box, you can see the ghost, either frightened and fainted, or was choked out by the ghost.

Suddenly, a small doll bumped into Feng Rui's body, and the things in his hand scattered to the ground.

Well, for the cute little doll, Feng Rui has always been good-tempered.

"Don't cry! Don't cry! Brother helps you pick it up. ”

Feng Rui leaned down, and there were lumps of oil scattered on the ground.

Pig large intestine!

Feng Rui picked up the oily pig intestine and just wanted to put it back for the little doll, but he saw that something was wrong.

In addition to the oiliness of the pig's large intestine, there are faint black spots in some places, in addition, there are traces of scratches on the inner wall, and some of them are directly broken, but they are not cut by a sharp blade, as if they were broken by something.

Although Feng Rui has never killed pigs, he has handled a lot of pork.

Killing a pig will not hurt the large intestine of the pig.

"Little sister, where did you buy these pig intestines?"

Feng Rui examined the pig's large intestine, and there were more than one or two black spots and scratches.

The little doll should be seven or eight years old, with big watery eyes and tears, looking at Feng Rui a little timidly, pointing to the shop not far away, and replied, "Big brother, Xiaoya bought it there, and the pork meat there is very cheap these days." ”

Feng Rui accompanied the little doll for a tael of silver, and then hurried to the shop that the little doll pointed to.

Pork shop.

The shop sells all the things that are on the pigs, and they don't fall anywhere from beginning to end.

There are many people from Jinan City in the store, and they are all crowded to the door.

"What do the guests want? There are all kinds of parts on the body of the porpoise in this shop. ”

The shopkeeper greeted the sharp who squeezed in.

"Is there any fresh large intestine?"

Feng Rui glanced around.

There are more than a dozen pigs stacked on top of each other on the meat table, the meat is dark red, dark in color, and has a faint smell.

There are also more than 20 large pig's heads in front of the meat table.

"Yes, yes!"

The shopkeeper pointed to the corner, and the wooden basin was full of pigs.

Feng Rui leaned over, and the pig's large intestine in the wooden basin was more black spots and scratches.

"Your large intestine is not fresh, why are there so many dark spots, it can't be sick and dead, right?" Feng Rui asked.

Some of the people in the store also muttered like this.

The shopkeeper behind the counter spoke.

"Humph! You untouchables don't know what to do, don't talk nonsense. The pigs that we have been selling in our store are all guinea animals from King Lu's mansion, how can they be sick. His Royal Highness King Lu was merciful, thinking that now you can't get out of the city, so he slaughtered a large number of dolphin beasts and sold them to you at half price. ”

After that, he glanced at Feng Rui.

"Those black things on the large intestine are just not cleaned, buy them if you like them, don't buy them!"

"King Lu's Mansion?"

Feng Rui nodded, a little clear in his heart.
