Yang Shanyong told Liu Yu about the disaster relief silver: "Little sister, you came to Southern Province to investigate the murder of Shen Shi'an and the theft of the disaster relief silver!"

"Well, the emperor sent me mainly to investigate these two things. In addition, the emperor also issued an order for me to investigate the past of Lu Zhizhong, the governor of Southern Province. ”

"Oh! The Tartar Emperor suspects Lu Zhizhong, and he is right to suspect him, this time the 500,000 taels of disaster relief silver was stolen from his hands by our White Lotus Sect. ”

"Looted from him, and he sent officers and soldiers to smuggle the silver away?" asked Liu Yu in disbelief.

Yang Shanyong waved his hand and said, "He sent someone to transport the silver out of the government." However, it was not the officers and soldiers who were sent, but the bandits.

Little sister, you have been in Henan for a few days, and you should have heard that there are often bandits robbing passing merchants on the road from Kaifeng Fucheng to Xuzhou. ”

"Yes. What does this have to do with Lu Zhizhong......?

Liu Yu remembered that Li Hengyao had said that Shen Shi'an suspected that Lu Zhizhong and the robbers were colluding with each other.

But because there was no evidence, and because of the disaster, he was trapped in Kaifeng City. Before he could make the next move, something happened.

Yang Shanyong saw that Liu Yu seemed to know something, so he nodded to her and said, "That's right, Lu Zhizhong does have dealings with robbers. As for the relationship between the two, this second brother doesn't know.

Last time, I took the people of the White Lotus Sect and wanted to go to the government to rob the official silver. Because there was an accident on the road, I took care of it for a while.

When I arrived at the gate of the city, I encountered men pushing many carriages, and I took them to hide quickly.

In order to see who was in front of me, I flew to the nearest tree to the city gate to inquire about the situation.

I know that once the gates are closed, they will not be opened in the middle of the night unless there are special circumstances. I haven't heard of any fighting in the vicinity lately, and there's been no movement in the capital.

So I looked for anyone special in that group. Sure enough, I found that the master who had been following Lu Zhizhong was talking to the officers and soldiers guarding the city?

Then the officers and men let the group of men who were wearing short shirts and cloth scarves left. The wagons they were pushing were let out without searching.

It wasn't right, so I took someone with me. At a col, join hands with them and snatch the carriage they are pushing.

Those men resisted desperately, and some of them were assigned to protect the carriage. In that fight, our White Lotus Sect lost a lot of manpower.

However, the other party did not ask for any benefit, except for the leader, everyone else was killed.

After the lead robber had fled, I opened the carriage of one of the carriages and found it full of chests, all of which were filled with silver, neatly stacked in the chests.

We guessed that it was disaster relief silver from the imperial court, so we transported all the money to a branch in the countryside in the middle of nowhere. ”

Yang Shanyong told Liu Yu the ins and outs of the disaster relief silver and the address that is now hidden.

Telling the little sister the location of the silver is not a betrayal of the White Lotus Sect. It was Yang Shanyong who thought of his master's original intention when he became the sect leader.

The master told him: When he joined the White Lotus Sect, he only wanted to protect the last trace of blood in the Ming Dynasty, and he did not want to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Now the White Lotus Sect is full of smoke and miasma, and under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, it is seeking benefits for itself to occupy power. In the end, it is the uninformed people at the bottom who die.

Therefore, it is better to return the silver to the court to save the poor people who are starving.

Thinking of this, Yang Shanyong thought of the identity of the little sister again. He clearly remembered the surprised expression on his face when the master first saw half a piece of jade. Since then, it's like a different person, and I'm very respectful to him.

Thinking of the identity of the master in the past, Yang Shanyong guessed: This jade match should be dedicated to the royal family of the Ming Dynasty? I just don't know whose identity this jade match represents? The master did not say it.

Thinking of this, Yang Shanyong hesitated again, did he want to tell his little sister about this jade match?

Moreover, with Xiaomei's current identity, after knowing about this matter, I am afraid it will not be good for her.

In case because of her identity, Xiaomei resisted the Qing court and actively investigated the case, and then the Tartar Emperor blamed him......

It's better to wait for the little sister to settle this matter, and then tell her after returning to Beijing to resign to the Tartar Emperor!

After figuring it out, Yang Shanyong was no longer entangled, and sat by the fire with his little sister to roast the fire.

Liu Yu kept thinking about what the second brother said just now. Now it is certain that there is something wrong with this Lu Zhizhong.

But there are still many questions, Liu Yu has not figured out, what is the relationship between this Lu Zhizhong and the robbers? Are they a cooperative relationship? Or are these robbers his own thugs?

If, they are a partnership. So he must have a common interest, or do they have a common master? so that they can work together for a long time.

In addition to power and fame, there is only profit in the common interest. As the governor, Lu Zhizhong has enough power. Is it possible to have a name?

If during his tenure as governor, he has caught robbers many times or successfully solved crimes. Maybe it can really be as famous as Bao Qingtian and Haiqingtian.

Speaking of the robbers, they are obviously not for power and fame, there is only one good word.

As long as these robbers have enough profits, they will definitely rush forward regardless of life and death. Lu Zhizhong must have reached some kind of agreement with these robbers?

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is another possibility: Both of them belong to the same master.

However, these are just speculations, and further verification is needed to know the specific situation.

The most important thing now is to get the silver back, with which the relief money can settle the victims and let them return to their hometowns for spring ploughing as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't sit still. He threw the branch in his hand into the fire, clapped his hands and said, "Second brother, it's not too early." Let's go back to the city!"

"Okay!" Yang Shanyong took out the extra branches and put them aside to extinguish them, and emptied the fire before leaving with Liu Yu.

The brother and sister returned to the city with light skills, and when they arrived at the city gate, Yang Shanyong asked: "Little sister, I will send you back to the county government first, and then go back to the inn." ”

"I live in an inn, not in the county office. Liu Yu replied.

"No wonder I didn't find you in the county office. Which inn do you stay in?"

"It's just a short distance ahead. Liu Yu pointed to the house with the lantern hanging in front of him.

"Coincidentally, I also live at that inn. Let's go back together!"

"Hmm!" Liu Yu walked over first, followed by Yang Shanyong.

The two came to the back door of the inn and crossed the fence with light skills, and broke up in the courtyard and went back to their rooms.

Liu Yu, who returned to the room, couldn't sleep excitedly, and came to the space to practice swordsmanship desperately, wanting to drain the excess energy.

Liu Yu practiced swordsmanship over and over again in the space, and only gradually calmed down when he was tired lying on the ground.

After resting, she came to the river to wash her body, changed into her underwear and came to the hut, lying on the floor of the hut and thinking about what her second brother told her.

The disaster relief silver is now in the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and he must find a way to get the silver back. I can't do this alone, and I have to cooperate with Lu Zhizhong.
