Chapter 36: The Old Man in Gray
Suddenly, the dust and snow stormed up several feet, swept in with a strong wind, and rushed straight to the man in gray. Immediately after that, the clothes in the air hunted, and countless palm winds erupted. In the wind and snow, the two figures were entangled at an extremely fast speed, attacking countless palm shadows in an instant, and suddenly separated after a while.
When the wind and snow dissipated, there was another figure on the snow.
Seeing the visitor, Mo Langyue sighed lightly in her heart, and unconsciously reached out and pulled the plush collar that had already covered half of her face.
Providence!
The old man in gray looked at Mo Langyue, who was fine on the side, and then at the black-haired woman like a waterfall, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and sighed unwillingly and helplessly.
The woman in front of her was standing there calmly, dressed in green clothes, with a slender figure, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a little heroic on her cold and delicate face.
"What's the matter, the people who have disappeared from the rivers and lakes for a long time have also set their sights on our Tsing Yi Lou's target?"
"You even know Lao'er?"
As soon as the words came out, I was alert to this more question. couldn't help coughing dryly, and said: "The girl is dressed in Tsing Yi and reports herself to Tsing Yi Building, could it be that Lou Qingyi Lou, the owner of Tsing Yi Lou Lou, is the head of Tsing Yi Building?"
"Exactly!"
"That feeling is good, please Lou Ge Lord witness, Lao Er's words today count, and he should leave. ”
The old man in gray didn't seem to want to entangle with Lou Qingyi too much, so he hugged his fists and hurried away. The direction of departure is not Baiyunguan, but the way down the mountain.
When he was gone, Lou Qingyi walked up to Mo Langyue, and a smile instantly appeared on his cold face, and his eyes were full of playfulness.
Suddenly, she reached out and pulled down the collar of the other party, glared angrily, and then quickly took out a pill and stuffed it directly into the other party's mouth. The behavior seems rude, but there is a strange tenderness in the eyes.
"I didn't go back to Luyuan when I came to Beijing, and suddenly I didn't see a trace for more than half a month, don't you want to see me when I grow up?"
With a sigh in her heart, Mo Langyue reached out and grabbed Lou Qingyi's sleeve, smiled quite obediently, and said, "Langyue knows his mistake, so I'll go back to Luyuan with you." ”
"Why are you so obedient all of a sudden?
"With Lu Yun of Jinyiwei here, are you afraid that you won't be able to find the official silver? What's more, there are not only Jinyiwei and a group of people on the mountain, but there is also a mysterious black-clothed person to help from it, so I really don't have to worry. I believe that Master Gu's case will soon come to light. ”
"Well, it's pretty calm. ”
Lou Qingyi was relieved at the moment, and then leaned back and let out a long roar.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves gradually came from the end of the snow. When I got closer, I realized that it was a tall horse with a body full of snow.
The white horse treasure horse, stepping on the snow, has four powerful hooves, a healthy and smooth body, and the coat color is as bright as brocade, and the end of the divine horse is abnormal. There is only a little discoloration between the eyebrows, but it adds more spiritual charm.
"Doesn't that sound familiar?"
Without Lou Qingyi's traction, the white horse rushed to him, took the initiative to come to Mo Langyue's side, lowered his head and rubbed her sleeve.
"It's it!"
Although there was a slight hesitation, Mo Langyue still recognized it. Isn't this white horse the same horse that was treated in Guiyunzhuang a while ago?
Mo Langyue said strangely: "How can this white horse follow you?"
"You have been missing for many days, and you can't find it anywhere, so when Qin Gu looked for me, he brought the white horse from Guiyun. ”
Nodding, Mo Langyue happily wrapped her arms around the horse's head and patted its neck, her eyes full of intimacy.
"Will you follow me from now on?"
Naturally, Hakuba couldn't speak, but he didn't shake his head to refuse.
"Now that you agree, you can't go back!"
The white horse rubbed Mo Langyue affectionately, and at this time he was even more silent and well-behaved.
"It's okay to agree, then I'll call you ...... in the future" After thinking about it slightly, Mo Langyue smiled and said, "Well, how about telling you to step on the snow?"
Burst...... Such a martial horse has such a beautiful name!
Lou Qingyi was amused, she smiled and shook her head, and said to herself: "No matter how calm and serious you are, you are only a half-old child after all!"
Besides, in the Baiyun Temple, due to the lack of guards from the old man in gray, and the deliberate guidance of Xiao Chengfeng, the man in black, the secret room in the backyard was quickly discovered by Lu Yun. Dozens of large boxes were lifted out of it, and inside were all ingots of official silver untouched. After careful counting, there were more than 1.9 million taels of silver, which was so large that it was equivalent to half a year's tax revenue for the imperial court!
Lu Yun's heart was shocked, and it was even more strange.
This Baiyun Temple is the place where the Venerable Master Qingwei, the favored minister of the Holy Beings today, attains enlightenment, and is a blessed place for the royal family. There is so much hidden Guan Yin, and the amount of this official silver is not much different from the official silver lost by Lord Gu Ziqi, perhaps it should be said that it is the lost official silver.
Lu Yun immediately ordered someone to go down the mountain with the official silver, while he bowed deeply to the surrounding houses, clenching his fists.
More than a month ago, flooding in the Yellow River caused people to struggle with their livelihoods. The imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief, but when the second disaster relief silver was ready, it was innocently lost in the treasury. The officials in charge at that time were Gu Ziqi, who had just been transferred to the household department, and another Lin adult.
The flood of the Yellow River is a major event for the country, and the theft of disaster relief silver is the most important of the major events. What's more, if it is stolen under the emperor's nose, it will be even more disgraceful. After the accident, Long Yan was furious, and Lord Gu and Lord Lin were both imprisoned, but Lord Lin had no way out and committed suicide in prison angrily. At this point, all the spearheads have been targeted at Lord Gu Ziqi, so that the disaster has caused the whole family.
Lu Yun was responsible for recovering the disaster relief silver this time, but there was no result for more than a month, and Gu Ziqi only cared about shouting grievances, but he couldn't provide any favorable clues. In recent days, he received clues from strangers and was led all the way to Baiyun Temple. Only then could he take advantage of the fire to enter and find out the official bank in one fell swoop.
Originally, Lu Yun was also worried in his heart, Baiyunguan had his back against a big tree to enjoy the shade, if he searched Baiyunguan late at night, and if he didn't get it right, he would lose his official position and resign. However, the emperor solved the case within a time limit, and if he could not find the disaster relief money, he would also lose his official position and be dismissed. After weighing it, Lu Yun made the biggest decision in his life, and sure enough...... He was right.
The bizarre thing is that the day after Lu Yun and his entourage handed over the disaster relief money, there was a storyteller in the teahouse and wine shop in the streets and alleys of the capital who wrote the story of the theft of the official bank, and the whole city knew about it for a while.
The disaster relief silver was hidden in the Baiyun Temple, and the Venerable Master Qingwei couldn't get rid of the involvement, let alone the three disciples. There was no hope of survival, and several people decisively admitted that they conspired with the late Lord Lin.
In order to block the mouth of the world and kill the people in vain for justice, the emperor ordered the three Rixi to be beheaded and sealed the Baiyun Temple. As for the Venerable Master Qingwei, because of the emperor's partiality, he was punished for lax discipline, moved out of the palace, and thought about it with the pure heart.
As for Gu Ziqi, he was pardoned for the crime of absconding, but he was also guilty of being unfavorable to the guard, so the official was demoted to three levels and assigned to Yungui to serve. At this point, the theft of official silver that plagued March came to an end, although there were still unclear doubts, but as soon as the emperor Chrysostom opened, no one dared to say more.
In this case, Lu Yun, who should have made the greatest meritorious service, not only did not have any promotion, but was innocently dismissed from office the day after the case was closed, so that Fu Xian had nothing to do at home, and only knew how to go shopping and walk birds all day long, which was a gentleman of an official eunuch's family.
