And after some messy clods of different lengths were thrown to the ground, Xu Yao then said, "Since Gongjin has been passive on the way, I think about it, the most likely problem is naturally Xiangyun Temple, where Gongjin stayed overnight."

"So I made a secret visit to this Xiangyun Temple, and this investigation really found out something" Xu Yao said, and picked up another document on the case, "All the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Wuling County, the land and manpower must be registered in the register, and they are kept by a special person, according to this document, Xiangyun Temple covers an area of thirty-three acres, and there are one hundred and six monks."

"In the past few days, I have been pretending to be pilgrims, visiting up and down, but I found that Xiangyun Temple is loose outside and tight inside, and the case of tribute gold is kept silent, and the Fa Qian, who was added to the Guanyin Temple, has disappeared three days ago, and the Guanyin Temple has also been taken over by another monk."

"And Xiangyun Temple has been a place for tribute and gold turnover for a long time, and it has always been the presiding officer of each hall to take turns to contact, and this time the person who contacted the tribute was precisely the person who presided over the Guanyin Palace."

"According to the usual practice, after the tribute arrived, first by Fa Gan as the representative of Xiangyun Temple, first greeted out of the temple, counted in person in the Baili Pavilion, after welcoming back the tribute, and then alternated manpower, and the escort tolerance from the county government counted together, and finally entered the Xiangyun Temple, presided over by the halls and then gathered to count, and then welcomed the tribute money to fill in the county treasury"

"Three days ago, the presiding officer of the Guanyin Hall disappeared, and it really has to make people suspect that this batch of tribute money is a problem in Xiangyun Temple."

"I looked at the confession of the presiding officer of the hall of Xiangyun Temple again, but found that the presiding officer of the hall of the palace counted the description, except for the number and weight, it was slightly vague, and the word of the public was colluded, so I ordered the left and right to separate them just now, so that the presiding officer could use the mud prepared in advance, and pinched out what the gold bar looked like that day, of course, judging from the current situation, the presiding officer of Xiangyun Temple was afraid that he had never seen what this batch of tribute gold looked like, so he was confused and fell into bad luck."

After Xu Yao finished speaking, he looked at the messy pile of mud blocks of different shapes on the ground, and a look of smiling was on his face. And everyone at this time also secretly said in their hearts, this tribute has been a case for a long time, but the gold collected from all sides has never been a unified shape.

As for the reason, it is very simple to say, the source of these tributes is mostly the squires and landlords from all over the world, the rich and powerful, and the gold stored in them is originally in a variety of shapes, and all the fineness of the harvest is different every year.

Even when it is finally collected, it will only be hastily processed into a uniform pattern according to the original shape of most of the gold, and it will not be smelted into a uniform specification without much difficulty. First, there is no such condition, and second, there is no need for this.

So this tribute is said to be a gold bar, but in the end it is round or flat, and the length and width are geometric,

Basically, every year is an unknown, only the amount, which is not wrong at all. Now the appearance of the tribute gold pinched out by the host of Xiangyun Temple is not the same, which proves that he has not even seen the face of this batch of tribute money before, and it is enough to show that this batch of tribute money is already a problem when it is escorted to Xiangyun Temple and then escorted out of Xiangyun Temple.

However, although everyone no longer has any doubts about this, what the squire counted in the county treasury is indeed genuine gold, and in the end, how did this gold disappear and be replaced with clods of soil?

You must know that there are not no people who can rob the county treasury, but in the huge Shangyong city, there are not even one or two good hands? The county government guarded several strongmen at that time, and if someone robbed the treasury, they would not even be able to detect one or two movements.

And the county treasury is such an important place, there is the arrangement of the master of the Qianjimen organ invited by the Tibetan Sword Villa, and it is necessary to destroy it, so as to enter the county treasury, then there are more people in the world who can do it, but when it comes to the fact that there is no trace of the layout in it, there are very few people in the world who have this ability.

There is really such a person with hands and eyes to the sky, and this yellow and white vulgar thing should not be taken into account by it, so this case has formed a dead end here.

However, since there is indeed a problem with this Xiangyun Temple, then the county treasury can put it aside for the time being and listen to what the monks of Xiangyun Temple say.

Seeing that all the eyes of the princes present were cast, the monks of Xiangyun Temple finally knelt on the ground in a hurry, claiming the death penalty, and explained the situation at that time.

It turns out that although Xiangyun Temple has been used as a turnover place for tribute over the years, but to put it bluntly, it is only a bet on the side of the tribute and the middleman of the county government, and its original purpose is just to prevent some people from colluding in advance on both sides of the handover and colluding with each other to mix weight.

However, with the increasing stability of the position of the Tibetan Sword Villa in the rivers and lakes and the continuous improvement of its strength, few people will think crookedly in this regard, and the appearance of Xiangyun Temple has also become a little dispensable.

Therefore, when the tribute came, the host of Xiangyun Temple did not care much, but when the Guanyin Temple presided over the Faqian, on behalf of Xiangyun Temple and both sides of the inventory, after bringing the tribute back, the hosts gathered together and counted the number again, but they were shocked to find that the gold in Weng Zhong had completely become a clod.

This time Xiangyun Temple and other people can be described as a big mess, this batch of tribute money was brought forward by Fa Qian, when the three parties counted, it was obviously real money, and when they came to the Xiangyun Temple Palace, how did they all become clods.

At that time, in the temple, someone questioned Fa Qian, who knew that Fa Qian directly admitted that this matter was his own doing, and directly threatened the monks, if they did not cooperate, it would be a dead fish and a broken net.

Under the anger of the monks, they pondered in their hearts, and they really didn't dare to act rashly, not to mention that Fa Qian revealed an extraordinary martial arts cultivation at that time, and most of the people couldn't take it, this Fa Qian clearly understood that the border land was the people of Xiangyun Temple, and he really got away, so is there still a good fruit in Xiangyun Temple to eat? As soon as the master of Tibetan Sword Villa arrived, he immediately broke his family and destroyed his family, and he was miserable and was wiped out.

And this Fa Qian showed his strength, and after he used words to pinch everyone, he took out the storage magic vessel, put the clods of soil in it, and then instructed the monks, and then went into the urn alone, and hid in it.

Therefore, at that time, the previous two porters only picked the weight of Fa Gan, which was naturally very easy, so that the other porters did not use their foot strength.

Although it is strange that the tribute is so small this time, it is not unheard of to replace the gold with the rest of the Heaven and Earth Lingzhen before, not to mention that after the inventory of all parties, it is absolutely impossible to open it and peep again, so the two porters didn't think much about it, they just worked hard to pick the urn and it was over.

And the monks of Xiangyun Temple have no way at this time, they are pinched by this Fa Qian, and they can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and see if it is as Fa Qian said, as long as they cooperate obediently, there will be other scapegoats to come out and receive the guilt.

And then the development of things was as Fa Qian said, under the fruitless investigation of the theft of tribute, Pei Zhizhou fell into bad luck and went directly to prison, and a cadre of squires in Shangyong City, driven by the Tibetan sword envoy, checked and checked, but there was no intention to check Xiangyun Temple.

Of course, judging from the previous situation, there is really no need to check Xiangyun Temple, since when Pei Zhizhou and a cadre of squires counted, this tribute was still clear and placed in the county treasury, so the direction of the investigation was naturally after this, whether there was anything unusual, not how to check how the tribute money was transported.

Hearing this, everyone can be regarded as understanding, the key to the theft of the tribute this time is only afraid that it is in this Faqian and the storage magic weapon in his hand, and this world also has the inheritance of the treasure of storage.

It's just that compared with the storage magic weapon in the Lancang Immortal Cultivation Realm, the storage treasures in this realm are particularly scarce, and it is impossible for a powerful person or a descendant of a party to have such a treasure.

Therefore, the value of the treasure of storage has surpassed that of ordinary pills and weapons, and it is already a symbol of power and status, and it is not something that can be done with just yellow and white vulgar things.

This urn of gold is precious, but compared to the treasure of storage, it is nothing at all, so at first, everyone didn't think about this aspect at all, but now after Xu Yao unraveled the mystery, this originally confusing case gradually came to light.
