Collusion between officials and bandits 2
Referring to the situation at that time, Dong Linyan's face darkened again.
Because he was misled by Gu Anran's bastard boy from the beginning, after the incident, he didn't investigate it carefully, and only after knowing that Gu Anran was still alive did he return to Hanshan Temple to investigate.
Thinking about the results of the investigation, Dong Linyan said that he finally understood why his father, who had reached the age of antiquity, would openly stand in front of the people of the world after that competition and bow his head to Gu Anran's bastard boy and admit defeat.
"Back to the emperor, the fire in Hanshan Temple was first caused by a lightning strike caused by General Gu Xiao's use of an iron rod erected on the roof, and then it was because of the gunpowder carried by those assassins that the entire courtyard was burned out."
Dong Linrui squinted slightly, but it was really a little thing he fancied, and he could think of a way to use an iron rod to lead thunder and lightning, it was really amazing!
"Those assassins, can you find out who sent them?"
Dong Linyan's face was ashamed, and his voice was low.
"Wechen is incompetent!"
Dong Linrui did not speak, but sighed softly.
It took a long time before he slowly spoke.
"No clues?"
Dong Linyan shook his head, because the assassins were all dead, and there was no way to find out.
However, if his guess was correct, the assassin must have something to do with the one in the harem.
It's just an unfounded guess, no matter how sure he is in his heart, he won't say it.
Dong Linrui's fingers gently rubbed the body of the white jade teacup, and the study instantly fell silent, and the sound of the hourglass in the corner could almost be heard.
"Do you have a clue about the theft of the silver of the Yaguan in North Yancheng County?"
Mentioning this, Dong Linyan nodded quickly, his eyes full of coldness.
"Wu Songchun, the commander of Beiyancheng County, has already recruited, it was he who guarded and stole himself, and acted in a scene with the thieves in Wuling Mountain on the outskirts of Beiyancheng, in order to deceive the court, deceive the world, and collect all the official money!"
The expression on Dong Linrui's face has not changed, only the dark and deep eyes have become extremely dark and dark at this moment, and he doesn't know what is brewing.
"The official silver of Beiyancheng was stolen, what about the prefect Cao Fengdong, what is the movement?"
On the night of the theft of the official silver, Cao Fengdong immediately ordered the gate of Beiyancheng to be blocked after receiving the news, only allowed to enter but not to leave, and searched door to door. On the day that Wei Chen and General Gu Xiao first arrived in Beiyan City, there were already many soldiers at the city gate to inspect them. ”
Dong Linrui nodded, and after a while, he spoke lightly.
"The collusion between officials and bandits has always been a taboo in the DPRK and China!"
Dong Linyan nodded quickly, his voice cold and sharp.
"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that the collusion between officials and bandits this time is not as simple as the county commander Wu Songchun said!"
Dong Linrui seemed to be interested, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why did Uncle Huang say this?"
He, the imperial uncle, has never said much, and there is no definite evidence, so he will never speak indiscriminately.
In that case, there must be some other evidence.
"Before the emperor came to Beiyancheng, Weichen sent someone to Wuling Mountain to investigate. There were indeed bandits over there, but when the people sent by Weichen got there, the building was empty, and nothing was left! ”
"Although the snow covered the mountain, there were heavy wheel prints under the heavy snow, and there were ten carriages in total. And those accompanying bandits, although the footprints are not very clear, but they can still be vaguely seen neat and orderly, compared to the army, too much. Therefore, Weichen is sure that the bandits of Wuling Mountain are not ordinary bandits. ”
The implication is that the collusion between the bandits of Wuling Mountain and the government is not just as simple as sharing the official money, but has another plan!
