Chapter 158: The Imperial Court Offers a Bounty for Leaving the Rivers and Lakes

"Come on, there are ghosts and gods stealing disaster silver!"

But it was said that Feiyunwei shouted, which immediately alarmed the entire post house, and everyone was a well-trained master, and reacted quickly, almost instantly all got up and surrounded the silver car.

However, this is not an ordinary bandit, but a ghost and god carrying, only to see one by one silver ingots flying in the air, about to fly away, ordinary people have seen this scene, and they are at a loss for a while.

In fact, Feiyunwei, as the elite of the Jinyun clan, usually has a way to practice dealing with ghosts and gods, but they are all ordinary restraint demons, but he has never seen this ghost and god carry, so he doesn't know how to deal with it.

At this time, a person rushed out of the post house, wearing soft armor, carrying a double halberd, a black gold long knife on his waist, sharp eyes, and a mighty aura, this person was the leading Jinyun Banner, the top master of the younger generation of the Jinyun clan.

I saw Jinyun Qi pull out the Ugin long knife, holding the knife in one hand, wiping the blade with the other, cutting the palm, rendering the blade with qi and blood, his eyes condensed, and he stepped on the ground in one step, and the strong force even cracked the stone under his feet, and the invisible momentum condensed, and he slashed at the air with a swing of the knife.

Jinyun Banner has the cultivation of practicing marrow and exchanging blood, the qi and blood are extremely masculine, and the red light invisible to the naked eye turns into knife qi, and it is just to yang, and it slashes at the ghosts and gods.

The invisible void flickered, and a third of the silver fell with a "bang", but the other two-thirds had already flown away.

Jinyun Qi immediately chased after him, and shouted: "Take the torch, leave the three teams to stay in place, and the rest of the people will chase after me and yell together." ”

Hearing the general's order, everyone reacted, and hurriedly chased after them with torches, formed a queue, and according to the usual training, they mustered up their strength and shouted the army's horn in the air: "Hey!" and "Ha!!"

Everyone was well-trained, neatly aligned, and the qi was trained into one breath, and the masculine courage of the military soul and the roar were thick, turning into an impact, dispelling the yin and ghosts, and the silver flying in the air fell down one after another.

When encountering a ghost, as long as you are not afraid of your heart and muster up enough strength to roar, you can suppress the sneaky.

But it was night, the light was not good, and the location where the other party chose to commit the crime was also very remote, next to a rugged wood, the silver flew too fast, and it entered the woods in a flicker in the air, and Jinyun Qi led the troops to chase into the woods, and the silver was gone.

"Search separately. ”

Jinyun Qi shouted loudly, and everyone immediately scattered to search, but after half a ring, no trace was found, and the silver had been lost.

"General, the silver is missing, what should I do?"

Everyone's faces sank, and the rhyme and silver went wrong, this is not a trivial matter, the light is a heavy punishment for the border pass, and the worst is to kill the head and implicate the whole family.

Jinyun Qi also had a dignified face, where is the demon, dare to steal the silver of the imperial court for disaster relief, and this demon is so powerful, 100,000 taels of silver, enough to weigh 10,000 catties, and he actually used a spell to fly away, is it a yang immortal?

"First clean up the silver taels, count the losses, and pass the book to report the matter. ”

Jinyunqi didn't care about it, so he had to order everyone to clean up, and everyone immediately took action.

On the other side, in the mountains and forests twenty or thirty miles away, the Taoist rang the bell, and the five jade plaques on his hands shook with it, while chanting a mantra in a low voice, urging the five heads placed in front of him.

The faces of these five heads have been extremely hideous, grinning teeth, dead eyes, bloodshot eyes, bloodshot eyes, completely like ghosts.

Suddenly, the qi of the five heads catalyzed to the extreme, and they were overwhelmed, bleeding from the seven holes of the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, and the qi machine also collapsed.

The Taoist stopped chanting the mantra, and as soon as the bell was closed, the jade plate was hidden in his sleeve, and he opened his eyes and smiled.

The elegant young man next to him turned the fan in his hand and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Gu, is the matter done?"

"Don't worry, Young Master Long, the old man is out of the horse, how can there be anything inappropriate, but it's ......"

The Taoist nodded, but his tone was paused, and he said: "However, this silver guard doesn't seem to be an ordinary guard, and most of the silver has been defeated. ”

"What? Knocked down most of it?"

As soon as he heard this, Young Master Long was also surprised, this Mr. Gu is a profound Taoist, and the Daoist who has been sealed by the Daoist Temple is not an opponent, and he was actually beaten down most of them.

"Could it be that among these guards, there are people who know how to do things?"

"I don't know. Gu Daoren was performing the spell from a distance, and he didn't know what the situation was at the scene, but as an old Jianghu, he acted very cautiously, and said: "Young Master Long, the silver has been hidden, and I will come to get the silver in a few days, and I will ask my subordinates to inquire about the news again." ”

"Okay, let's get out of here. ”

Young Master Long didn't say much, lifted the red envelope on the ground, packed up the altar, and the two left quickly.

In fact, the news they got this time only knew that there was a team of silver passing by, and they didn't know what the specific situation was, after all, they only cared about robbing the silver, and who cared about where the silver came from.

Inn.

The crowd was busy until it was almost dawn, and they packed up all the silver taels, counted the quantities, put them in boxes, and affixed new seals.

Jinyunqi and a middle-aged man in official uniform stood in the general supervision, this middle-aged man's face was gentle, making people look like a scholar, but there was a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, this person was the minister who came to handle the case this time, named Chen Mubai.

Chen Mubai was also born in a scholarly family, when Emperor Yang was still in the court, Chen Mubai was very much used by Emperor Yang, and later Emperor Yang did not go to court, so the prince presided over the government, and these confidants and important ministers listened to the prince.

The crown prince is the prince, and he is orthodox among the princes, and of course these confidants and important ministers support the prince.

However, Emperor Yang asked the rest of the princes to assist in the government, in fact, he also intended to balance the power of the prince, after all, it was the emperor's family, and Emperor Yang intended to let several princes balance each other, and Emperor Yang wanted to live forever and be in power forever.

After the silver taels were counted, an accompanying official carefully reported the situation: "Lord Chen, general, there are still 67,2812 taels, 32,188 taels are lost, and the rest of the grain is there." ”

Everyone present was solemn, and the atmosphere was a little panicked, so much money was lost for disaster relief, and no one could escape punishment if they were held accountable, even if it was Jinyun Banner, they had to be degraded.

Chen Mubai did not move, as calm as ever, and said:

"General Qi, it will be dawn soon, release a flying pigeon to report to the imperial court, and then send a fast horse to report, and leave a team of people and horses, notify the local government, set up checkpoints to strictly investigate, and offer heavy rewards, and then invite nearby Taoist temples that have been enshrined to assist together. ”

"We escorted the money and grain, continued on the road, the disaster situation is critical, we first arrived in Luoshan County to deal with the disaster relief case, and the rest of the things are waiting for the will of the imperial court. ”

"Okay, just do what Master Chen said. Jinyun Qi responded, and admired Chen Mubai a lot, he could be so calm when such a big thing happened.

At this time, it was almost dawn, and the post house began to make rice, and everyone had breakfast and continued on the road.

Baijia Town, Taoist Temple.

A few days have passed, Zhang Xian has returned to his own routine in the past few days, getting up early every day, exercising in the morning, eating, and then taking Meng Jianglin out to collect medicine, entering the deep mountains and old forests, away from disturbances, while instructing Meng Jianglin to practice martial arts, while concentrating on enlightenment, learning Kanyu, physiognomy, divination, etc., and returning to the Taoist temple in the evening.

Wu Yunyao also went out early and returned late, because there were people working in the Taoist temple, and there were many people, Wu Yunyao went out early in the morning to exercise, walked to the county seat, had breakfast, and then went to the mountains and forests to practice, and came back in the evening.

The construction of the Liuhe underground palace is also carried out steadily, the soil pit has been dug, and the stones have begun to be paved as foundations.

However, when the news of the county town reached Baijia Town, it made some people panic.

Since that day, Liu Tanzhu and others died in the town, the next night, the Lotus Prince crossed the catastrophe, fought with the demons, and then the county town was haunted, and then hail and floods, this series of things are connected, and anyone can see that there is something strange.

Tracing back to the source, these things were first in Baijia Town, so everyone was a little scared.

Zhang Xian couldn't help but worry in his heart, this matter was getting bigger and bigger, worried that he would be found out to Baijia Town, he had been paying attention to the wood and outsiders coming to the town in the past few days, or whether there was a yin god at night.

In fact, he himself is not afraid, but he is worried that it will affect the Meng family, in order to avoid the Yin God, he specially made a witch puppet grass man for several people in the Meng family, Yin and Yang are connected, if there is a Yin God in a dream, it will be directly connected to his spells.

In the evening of that day, Zhang Xian took Meng Jianglin back, Meng Jianglin returned to the back mountain, and Zhang Xian returned to the Taoist temple.

Pushing open the door, Wu Yunyao had already returned, sitting on the steps of the wooden building drinking, the rainbow light of the sunset was reflected, and a wisp of breeze swept the supple green silk and clothing belt, the air was proud, and the majesty was beautiful.

Zhang Xian couldn't help but take a second look, but his eyes were well hidden, for fear of being discovered by Wu Yunyao.

When Wu Yunyao saw him coming back, she smiled indifferently, nodded slightly, said hello, and said, "Xuan Tianzi, are you interested in coming with me." ”

"Hmm, where are you going?"

Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, didn't understand what it meant, Wu Yunyao picked up a list next to him, he took it and looked at it, this is the court's bounty list, probably the content is that the money and grain for disaster relief were stolen, the court offered a reward, tracing the stolen money and grain, and those who provided clues were rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and if they recovered the lost money and grain or caught the thief, they were rewarded with one thousand taels of silver.

He was surprised in his heart, He Fang was so bold that he even dared to mess with the silver of the imperial court, this world is really not peaceful.

"I heard from the town that the county town has been flooded, and the ministers sent by the imperial court have already arrived, why was the money and grain stolen?" he asked without moving, pretending not to know about the Lotus Sect.

Wu Yunyao said: "More than 30,000 taels of 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief have been stolen, and the rest has arrived, and the court has offered a reward to track down this gang of thieves, as well as more than 30,000 taels of stolen ones." ”

"Oh, that's right. Zhang Xian suddenly realized, and then asked: "Yun Yao, I don't know what you just said, let me go with you, what is this for?"

"That ......" Wu Yunyao's tone has always been majestic and confident, but at this moment, he was a little embarrassed, and his pretty face turned red: "That ...... I ran away from home, and I ran out of money. ”

"Oh......" As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xian reacted and almost laughed unkindly, it turned out that he had no money and wanted to pull him to earn a reward together.
