Chapter 456: Confrontation
Both of them were extremely cautious along the way, and they immediately stopped at any time for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
"What time is it?" Dowling asked quietly.
"It should be three o'clock." Quit pondered for a moment and whispered back.
"Well, be careful, the people below should have slept." Dowling nodded, and once again walked to the backyard with a ban on alcohol.
Carefully bypassing the backyard guarded by a group of warriors, the two finally came to the dry well.
Dowling pointed to the well, then jumped down directly, quit drinking, looked around left and right, and followed after confirming that there was no one.
"Shhhhh Dowling pointed to the end of the aisle and said to quit drinking.
Quit nodded and the two of them slowly touched the wall of the passage and slowly touched inside.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the distance, and the person who was walking in front of him stopped.
The two of them were suddenly a little panicked, and they didn't expect that they would run into someone as soon as they came down.
"What should I do?" Quit asked nervously with a frown.
"Don't panic, look at it." Dowling patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the top of his head.
It turned out that there was a groove on the top of the head, and the depth was about enough to stack two people.
Quit Drinking nodded, the two of them stepped on the wall, and ran up directly, Quit Drinking was on top, and Dowling was below.
The two of them stretched out at the same time, but the height of the abstinence from alcohol was a little insufficient, and they couldn't hold up to the edge of the groove, and the whole person slapped downward.
In a hurry, Dao Linping stretched out his palm and thrust his fingers into the wall, so that the two of them did not fall.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and both of them held their breath and looked down nervously, and soon five guards walked over talking and laughing, and this group of guards did not have a direction to the Amen above the passage, and Dowling sighed.
After waiting for a few more moments, until no footsteps could be heard, the two jumped down from the top groove.
"Are you alright?" Quit asked in a whisper as he looked at Dowling's fingers.
"It's okay, I'm not the same as before now, your little weight is nothing." Looking at the somewhat guilty quitting drinking, Dowling smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"It seems that those people just now are going out, so it seems that the dry well is the only entrance." Quit Drinking turned his head to look in the direction he came from and said.
"Even if it's an entrance, it's probably the entrance and exit of these pawns, what if the big fish surnamed Ye or the big fish I haven't seen has its own entrance?" Dowling said with a blank look.
The two of them moved forward again, not daring to make a sound, and the passage, which was not very long, was walked by them for a whole stick of incense.
There were no guards left in the huge cellar at this time, but the candles were still lit.
"Quit drinking, let's go our separate ways and see if there are any clues on the books and papers on the table." Dowling whispered to his side.
Qu Jiu nodded, leaned down to a table, reached out and took down one of the ledgers on the table, and looked at it by the candlelight on the table.
Dowling ran to the table where Ye Guangxian had sat before and flipped it over, there were stacks of ledgers on the table, he opened each one to take a look, and finally found what he wanted in the bottom ledger.
I don't know if I don't know this, I was shocked when I saw it, this account book clearly recorded all the movements of the city treasury funds in Shangzhou County over the years, and nearly 10 billion taels of silver were removed by this group of people inside and out.
"These people are so bold." Dowling scolded viciously.
At this moment, there was a burst .....of applause, and Dao Lin and Jiujiu were suddenly startled, and when they looked up, they saw Ye Guangxian looking at him with a group of masters.
"Oops... Distinguished guests visit late at night, and they are not welcomed. Ye Guangxian slapped his face and said with a smile.
Dao Lin's eyes shrank, and his gaze swept towards the people in front of him, who were basically all transcendent realm masters he had seen before.
"Put away your disgusting face, this thing could kill you." Dowling shook the ledger in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Look, look, how did I leave something so important on the table?" Ye Guangxian sneered with a sneering face.
"If you like, I can send you a few more, what do you think?" Ye Guangxian continued, his disdain on his face vividly expressed.
"Hmph, less yin and yang, do you think you can eat me?" Dowling snorted coldly and said.
Ye Guangxian pretended to be frightened and looked back at the masters, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Dowling, if you don't look at your current situation, can't I eat you?" Ye Guangxian put away his smile and pointed at Dao Lin and shouted.
Dowling was taken aback, this person really recognized himself, and he must have seen it when he went to send Qianxue.
"Who gave your dog the guts to make you do this?" Dowling was not annoyed, but said in a flat tone.
"What to do? Did I do anything? Ye Guangxian pretended to be dazed and asked.
"Privately moving the silver taels in the treasury of Shangzhou County, isn't this what you did?" Dowling asked again as he took out his ledger.
"I did it, and then what? Any questions? Ye Guangxian tilted his head and asked.
"It's good if you can admit it, now obediently follow me to the City Lord's Mansion to take the initiative to explain the problem, and you can also locate the guilty and meritorious service." Dowling said with a smile.
"Hahahaha.... Ridiculous, really ridiculous, why are you so naïve? Ye Guangxian said with a laugh.
Dowling's smile faded, and his hand holding the ledger clicked.
"Don't say it's the Sun Empire, it's not enough to have a hundred heads in any empire you did this." Dowling said with a sneer.
"Tell me, then, what did I do?" Ye Guangxian shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said.
"Privately move the city treasury and silver, as well as a large number of guards and eunuchs in the middle capital here, these are what you can do? What do you say doesn't condemn you? Dowling patted the ledger in his hand and said.
"Hehehe...... then I want to ask you, is this Shangzhou county under the jurisdiction of the emperor?"
"Does this city treasury and silver belong to the emperor?"
"Eunuch, does the guard belong to the emperor?"
Ye Guangxian's three consecutive questions made Dao Lin stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and asked coldly: "Do you mean by asking, do you want to say that the emperor asked you to do this?" ”
"Hmph... You are a member of the Shenwu Empire, no matter how you talk about it, you can't teach us the guards of this empire to do things. Ye Guangxian snorted coldly and shouted arrogantly.
Quit Liquor came to Dowling at this time and stood still, and whispered in his ear: "I'm afraid this is a big conspiracy, and we have stepped in. ”
Dao Lin nodded secretly, if according to Ye Guangxian's words at this time, he really couldn't move Ye Guangxian.
"How? Can't you answer? Since I can't answer, I'm going to ask you, you, a member of the Shenwu Empire, have also fought a big battle with our army on the battlefield, what do you want to do when you come to our guard station late at night? With our ledger in hand, are you trying to steal the intelligence of our empire! Ye Guangxian shouted with a smug face.
