Chapter 73 Inspecting the Granary

Then, the written letter was tied to the end of the arrow, and the bow was shot at the gate of the cottage.

After a "whoosh", an arrow was firmly nailed to the door, and one of the robbers guarding the door sat on the ground, and it took a long time to come to his senses.

Another gatekeeper saw that there was something tied at the end of the arrow, so he hurriedly stepped forward and took down the bow and arrow from the door, and untied the letter from the end of the arrow, only to see that it was written: The great master has opened it himself.

Seeing that it was written to the big boss, the gatekeeper did not dare to slack off, so he stuffed the letter into his bosom and said to the gatekeeper who was sitting on the ground: "Brother, you are guarding here." The person below shot up a letter to the big boss, and I went to deliver it. ”

When the man sitting on the ground heard that he had been allowed to guard the door alone, he was so frightened that he quickly jumped up from the ground and said, "Brother, don't, don't let me guard the door alone." I'd better deliver the letter!"

"Okay, then you can go!" he said, taking out the letter in his bosom and handing it to him.

The gatekeeper took the letter and ran up the hill until he reached the hall. He said loudly: "Report to the big boss, the people under the mountain sent a letter." ”

"Hmm! ”

Later, one of the men standing guard came out of the queue and took the letter from the gatekeeper and handed it to the big boss.

The big boss opened it and saw that it was a letter of recruitment. The general content is: as long as you take refuge in the imperial court, you will not pursue the past, and your family will be resettled by the imperial court.

After reading the letter, the big boss said: "Brothers, the imperial court wants to recruit us, what do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the people below talking about it.

"Will there be fraud in taking refuge in the imperial court?"

"Do you have any fields?"

"Hmph! I can believe the words of the Tartars, I think I still fought with them......"

"Yes, yes. Let's eat and drink spicy food in the mountains, why do we have to live a poor life before......"

"Whether it is staying in the mountains or taking refuge in the imperial court, anyway, I will follow the eldest brother, and I will go wherever the eldest brother goes. ”

......

The people below are basically not the same. Listening to the big boss, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

The big boss put away the letter and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. The second brother didn't know what was going on in the city, and there was no news coming back.

After Geng Zhong sent the letter out of the mountain, he asked the soldiers to keep all the entrances and exits up the mountain to rest.

Until after dark, there was no news from the robbers on the mountain, and Geng Zhong found a few skilled taxis to go up from several places to find out the news.

An hour later, the soldiers who had gone up the mountain to inquire about the news came back one after another and reported to Geng Zhongyu what they had found on the mountain.

I heard that these robbers did not make any movements, but there were many figures walking around in a large mansion on the mountain.

Geng Zhong knew that Zhao'an was not a trivial matter for these robbers, and it was normal that he couldn't decide for a while.

But he couldn't let these robbers continue to discuss like this, not to mention that Lord Qincha was waiting for news, and Geng Zhong was afraid that something would change later.

And Liu Yu in the government office came to the granary of the government office at this time to check the grain storage. Cold sweat broke out on the head of the grain officer who led the way in front, but he had to lead the Qin messenger to inspect it.

In front of the door of the warehouse, the grain officer took out the key from his waist and carefully inserted it into the lock hole, and inserted the key in the wrong place several times due to nervousness.

After a few times, the lock was finally opened. Forcefully push the door of the granary open and invite Liu Yu in.

After Liu Yu walked in, he found that the granary was quite large, but there was only a little grain, which was piled up in the corner of the granary, and most of the others were empty. Liu Yu asked the grain officer standing next to him, "Only these grains?"

"Back to my lord, there is only so much grain in the granary. This year's grain was not harvested due to the disaster, and all the grain that was harvested last year is here, except for the ones that were transported by the adults a few days ago. The grain officer secretly glanced up at Liu Yu and replied.

"What about the year before last? Although there were some disasters last year, there was no shortage of grain harvested.

In the past few years, the wind and rain in Henan have been smooth, and the granary can only enter and exit, how can it be so little, which is unreasonable. ”

"This ...... This ......"

Seeing that the other party couldn't come back, needless to say, he knew that he was smuggled away by Lu Zhizhong, but he didn't know where to use it?

Liu Yu knew that she couldn't ask anything, and turned to leave for the dungeon. She wanted to interrogate Lu Zhizhong.

In the dungeon, Lu Zhizhong lay motionless on the ground, with blood stains on his white prison clothes.

This is what Liu Yu saw when he came in, and after the cell leader who led Liu Yu in opened the cell door, he kicked Lu Zhizhong with his foot and said, "Get up, Lord Qincha is here." ”

Lu Zhizhong raised his head at this time, slowly got up and sat up, looked at Liu Yu who was sitting in front of him and said, "Lord Qincha, the slave is the official of the imperial court, and he is resentful. ”

"Lord Lu, whether you are resentful or not, you know it in your heart.

It's best to confess all honestly, so that you can also make meritorious service on behalf of the crime, maybe the emperor will dispose of you alone. If you keep biting to death and don't say anything, then your Lu family will ......."

Liu Yu in the back didn't say it, Lu Zhizhong also knew. The emperor is young, but his methods are even more ruthless than the previous emperor. If what you have done is exposed......

Lu Zhizhong didn't dare to think about it, shook his head and said to Liu Yu: "My lord, don't ask, I won't say anything, if you want to kill or chop, come on!"

Saying that, he closed his eyes, looking like he was not afraid of death, and Ren Liuyu didn't open his mouth no matter how he asked.

Liu Yu couldn't, so she could only continue to lock him up. Leaving the dungeon, Liu Yu didn't know what to do for a while?

The disaster has not completely passed, and the grain in the granary is not enough to divide at all, and the disaster relief silver knows that he is in the White Lotus Sect, but he does not know what the strength of the White Lotus Sect branch is?

I don't know what happened to General Geng's side, and how did Lord Shen die? No one saw his body and buried it directly, and I always felt that there was a problem.

Did Lu Zhizhong want to cover up what he wanted to bury him in such a hurry? Or was there something else?

These questions hovered in Liu Yu's mind one by one, like being tied one after another dead knots that could not be untied.

Leaving the dungeon, Liu Yu locked herself in the study alone. When Li Hengyao came back, he saw Liu Yuzheng sitting alone behind the desk.

Li Hengyao didn't bother Liu Yu and quietly left the study.

happened to meet the He guards who went to Fan Jinwen's mansion, and He guards found the evidence pointing to Fan Jinwen in the study of Fan's mansion, brought all of them back, and were about to come to the study to find Liu Yu.

Li Hengyao said to He Guard, "Wait a minute!"

The two were about to leave, but they heard Liu Yu's voice behind them: "Is it Guard He and Guard Li? Come in!"

Li Hengyao pushed the door in, and He Guard followed. After the two saluted Liu Yu, Liu Yu asked the second to get up and asked the He guard, "Have you found it?"

"Lord Hui, I found these in the dark compartment of Lord Fan's study. As he spoke, he put the physical evidence he found in front of Liu Yu's desk.

Liu Yu picked it up and flipped it over, all the evidence on it pointed to Fan Jinwen, but there were a few unreasonable places, Liu Yu looked at it carefully.
