20 million taels of silver, together with 450 shrewd and capable martial arts masters who were in charge of escorting, mysteriously disappeared in Huguang overnight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This matter is extremely implicated, not only related to the honor and disgrace of the seventeen largest dart games in the Central Plains, but also at least 61 well-known people in the rivers and lakes are about to be ruined and ruined. Even the situation in the entire world may change dramatically as a result, causing a bloody disaster in the vast land of the lake and even the entire Central Plains.

Because the missing 20 million taels of silver were the salaries of the imperial court.

Wen Tianting, the leader of the Wulin Alliance of the Thirteen Envoys of the Two Capitals, was also one of the guarantors of the escort of military salaries. When he heard the shocking news, he immediately came forward and led more than 20 gang leaders to form a temporary search team overnight. However, after ten days of overt and covert visits, all of them came to one conclusion, that is, they had no clue at all.

There were no signs before the incident, and there were no clues after the incident. The 20,000,000 taels of silver and the 450 good men in charge of the escort evaporated from the world without a trace.

"This is absolutely impossible!" Wen Tianting, who had always been in front of Taishan and did not change his face, couldn't help but be furious after coming to this conclusion.

You must know that the military pay for this escort was jointly guaranteed by 17 largest Jianghu dart bureaus in the Central Plains, forming the largest dart team in history, starting from Beiping, transferring from the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to Jinling, and then going upriver along the Yangtze River, advancing westward into Huguang. Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed by the border of Jiangzhou and marched to the border of Huguang, he disappeared out of thin air overnight.

And the biggest bandit today is Jiang Wangcai of Dongting Lake in Huguang, and even openly held the banner of confrontation with the imperial court. If this batch of military salaries could not be delivered to Chengtianfu in the east of Hudong on time and handed over to the 20,000 garrisons defending Dongting Lake, the troops would mutinied and the situation would get out of control, and at worst, they would have attracted the counterattack of Jiang Wangcai from Dongting Lake, and then the entire Huguang would be lost, and the gate of the capital would be wide open.

After many searches and verifications, although there is no evidence pointing to Jiang Wangcai in Dongting Lake, and no one talks about Jiang Wangcai in Dongting Lake, everyone invariably confirms a conjecture in their hearts:

It must be Jiang Wangcai, the owner of Dongting Lake, who owns the entire lake and divides one side, who robbed these military salaries.

Wen Tianwen heard that he was forty and six this year, and as the leader of the world's martial arts alliance, he had been running between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court all year round. Although he looked in good spirits, under the golden crown on his head, a few strands of hair had already been dyed white by the burden on his shoulders.

At this moment, he was sitting under the golden plaque of "swallowing stars and spitting clouds, the sun and the moon shine together", turning the pair of golden balls in his hand crackling, and the sound of rubbing back and forth made the roots of the teeth of everyone present sour.

Last year's drought in Jiangnan came too suddenly, and the original so-called "the lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full" suddenly became a joke. The imperial court was caught off guard, so it had to raise money from Beiping, one of the two capitals, and in turn supply it to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River. However, this dynasty has not been established for a long time, the emperor has always been very suspicious, and all the soldiers and horses in the world have been divided into the four sides of the fortress, and for a time in the Central Plains can no longer find an idle army to take on this heavy responsibility. Fortunately, the eleventh prince, King Heng, proposed that the Jianghu Shangdart Bureau be responsible for the transportation of military salaries.

As a result, there is the largest dart in history, and the largest seventeen dart bureaus in Beiping and Jinling work together to form the Central Plains Dart Bureau Alliance for this escort. And Wen Tianting, who is the leader of the martial arts alliance, naturally became the leader of the Central Plains Dart Game Alliance.

"This is not the first time. It was Li Weiyao, the leader of the Jianghai Gang, who spoke. The 86 gangs in the rivers and lakes that depend on water for their livelihood are all headed by the Jianghai Gang. Where there is water, there is the "wave-chasing flag" of the Jianghai Gang fluttering. Now this gang leader Li Weiyao is even more peach and plum all over the world. Among the 450 elites in charge of the darts this time, more than a dozen of them had served in his Jianghai Gang.

But the dignified Li Da Gang Master opened his mouth to speak, but no one present paid attention to him. Because anyone sitting here is not under the status of this Jianghai Gang to help Li Weiyao, there is no need to echo him at all. So Li Weiyao could only go down alone:

"On the third day of November of the previous year, the Taiyuan Temple of the Purple Mountain outside the capital suddenly rebelled, although it was quelled by the imperial court on the spot, but overnight, many money and silver were robbed, and the stolen money was smuggled out of the capital overnight. In hindsight, he lost about 10 million taels of silver. ”

"In the middle of summer last year, the treasure of Li Jiusi, the former rebel army, appeared in the Fuqiu Peak of Huangshan Mountain, which attracted the competition of all forces, and the blood continued from the foot of Huangshan Mountain to the top of the mountain, and nearly 1,000 celebrities in the court and the opposition were killed and injured. Who knew that in the end, the so-called hidden treasure did not appear, and in the end it had to be lost. ”

"On the seventh day of the first month of January this year, the four major sects in Shuzhong, known as 'Tangmen Poison, Lingyun Monk, Emei Sword, and Qingcheng Ke', suddenly had unprovoked infighting, causing the entire Xichuan to be in chaos. However, there seemed to be someone waiting for the opportunity to move, and the countless treasures and cheats of the four major factions were stolen with it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Weiyao sighed, "Until this time, the military salary we escorted was counted as the fourth strange thing related to money. ”

"Do you want to say that there is some kind of connection behind these big cases?" The owner of the "Tingtao Pavilion" who was sitting at the top of the position, the cold Funeral Flower Lady suddenly opened her mouth and asked coldly, "What credentials do you have?"

I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes are willing to give everything they have, just to see this funeral flower lady with their own eyes. But now this invincible Funeral Flower Lady actually let go of her reserve and took the initiative to ask herself, but Li Weiyao couldn't raise any interest. He shook his head: "I don't know. ”

Huo Ran, who was an iron real person on the side, got up and shouted, "Then what are you farting here?"

This iron real person is the head of Suzhou Xuanmiaoguan, and his martial arts are surprisingly high. A sixty-four-pound Xuantie sword was in his hands, and he was the leader of the Central Plains Heavenly Master Dao lineage, controlling the sesame oil in the dojos in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone in the world knows that he is as anxious as fire, and a foul mouth is even more open-mouthed, and he is respectful and far away.

Faced with Tie Zhenren's questioning, Li Weiyao could only swallow his anger and said lightly: "Where there is life in the world, there is water. If the heaven and earth are compared to a 'person', then 'water' is the pulse of this person, and whoever can read the breath of water can read the world. The younger brother's Jianghai Gang relies on water to draft, and it is the most sensitive to this, but recently, in the waters of the Central Plains, east, west, north and south, there is a faint smell of blood, which is a sign of imminent chaos in the world. As the saying goes, 'Before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first', in just over a year, there has been a flow of hundreds of millions of taels of silver, which is no accident. ”

Speaking of this, Li Weiyao couldn't help licking his lips and sighed: "So all this is just the will of heaven, and I only blame the unlucky military salary we escorted, and it happened to meet ......."

"Enough. Wen Tian, who was high up, couldn't listen to it anymore, and the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance leader finally spoke.

"Whether it's the conspiracy of the imperial court, the talent of Dongting Lake and Jiang Wang, or the strange witchcraft and demon methods, or the will of the fucking heaven, I don't know at all, and I don't want to know! I only know that we lost this dart, and the military salary entrusted to us by the imperial court! Now Prince Heng, who is in charge of this matter, has given us twenty days, yes, only twenty days. If we don't get this batch of salaries back after 20 days, 2,817 men, women, and children from the 17 dart bureaus, 61 guarantors, including you, and 427 family members, will all die!"

As he spoke, he smashed the pair of pure gold balls in his hand to the ground and shouted, "Solution!

Looking at the two golden balls deeply embedded in the granite ground, everyone silently lowered their heads. What can be done has been done a long time ago, and even what cannot be done has been done. So far, what else can be done?

The little old man who was smoking a dry cigarette suddenly sighed, stood up from the seat under his head, and said slowly: "If everyone present has nothing to do, the old man has a way that is not a way, maybe he can gamble." However, it was stated in advance that whether this move could be done or not was left to fate. ”

Seeing the little old man get up and speak, Wen Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the high opinion of Brother Night Crying?"

Everyone turned their heads in unison and looked at the five-foot-tall little old man, and their hearts were filled with disdain. Fujian children cry at night, the king of pirates in the South China Sea, this sea giant who has always been known for his ruthlessness, what can he do?

I saw Tong Ye crying unhurriedly took a puff of cigarette and spit out a large cloud of smoke, so he continued: "I'm going to find someone." If there is anyone in the world who can solve this problem, it must be this person. ”

Wen Tianting couldn't help but stand up from his seat and asked, "Who?"

Tong Ye cried but shook his head: "I don't know who his surname is, and even in this world, I'm afraid no one knows what his surname is." ”

Wen Tian was stunned when he heard this, and immediately stood on the spot.

Fortunately, Tong Yewai continued: "But I can find him. ”

He shook the delicate mutton fat jade cigarette stick in his hand, revealing a look of excitement, and said: "Because I know that there is a batch of superb 'fire-swallowing smoke' shipped from Nanyang, and it will be in my territory the day after tomorrow...... Quanzhou, Fujian Province docked. He will definitely go when the time comes. ”

Tie Zhenren on the side couldn't help but shout: "If this person really has the ability you said and can solve this trouble, and you are so sure that you can find him, then why do you still say that you are gambling and resigned to fate?"

Tong Yewee silently glanced at him, with a sneer of disdain on his face, and said word by word: "Because I'm afraid that this case is simply what he did." ”
