166 The money and food are gone
The leaves fall silently, the wind passes through the ears, and the green lights are sleepless at night. A few insects came to accompany them, and the moon moved to the east wall to wait for the dawn.
Xia Yun came out to inspect and slept at night, quietly silent. After a hard day's work, everyone had already fallen asleep except for the soldiers on duty at night.
She looked up and saw a figure on the roof of the warehouse, smiled slightly, and jumped to the roof.
"How did you get up. It's so late and I don't go to rest. Xiong Wei sat on the roof and looked at the stars in the sky, saw Xia Yun coming up, and asked with concern.
"You're embarrassed to talk about me. Why don't you sleep. Xia Yun asked Xiong Wei rhetorically.
"I'm not worried. Xiong Wei sighed.
"Isn't there a brother on duty at night?" Xia Yun looked at Xiong Qi's eyes that were as clear as water.
"Yes, they're all on night duty, and I'm with them. In case you encounter a thief with strong martial arts who steals silver, grain and grass, I am sorry for the people of Shandong. ”
Xia Yun smiled slightly, she likes such a bear. "Then I won't sleep either, I'll accompany you. ”
Xiong Wei hugged Xia Yun in his arms, kissed her forehead and said, "Go ahead, no need." You're well rested, and you'll be in good spirits when you travel tomorrow. I'll be relieved. ”
"Then I'll sleep here. As he spoke, he lay on Xiong Wei's lap, "Look at how beautiful the stars are tonight." ”
Xiong Wei stroked her hair, took off his coat, and draped it over her. "yes!. He wanted to say more, but he didn't know what to say, so he gently stroked her hair.
Xiong Wei and Xia Yun are attached to each other. Unconsciously, Xia Yun entered a sweet dreamland, perhaps because of the relationship with Xiong Wei by her side, she is now sleeping better and better, and her heart is becoming more and more steady.
The night breeze blows, the moonlight is like silver, and occasionally a cloud drifts past, obscuring half the moon and making the night darker.
I don't know when, the whole moon has already disappeared into the clouds. The whole world was shrouded in darkness.
In the deep dark night, Xia Yun and Xiong Wei were immersed in endless sweetness.
They couldn't see that there was a group of people running back and forth along the wall with sacks on their shoulders at the back of the warehouse. They couldn't see it, but after the team loaded the car, they quickly carried it away, leaving only a deep car mark on the road.
Gradually, the sun rose out of the clouds, and the eastern sky was already dyed red. The sun shone in the bamboo grove behind the warehouse, and the bamboo leaves fell gently, fluttering on the car prints left last night.
A gust of morning wind blew, rolling up the fallen leaves and dust on the ground, and those deep car marks were also smoothed out by the breeze.
Xia Yun's eyes were stung by the sunlight and slowly opened them.
"Are you awake?" Xiong Wei looked at the sleepy-eyed Xia Yun, feeling that she was more and more different from before. That murderous aura is gradually disappearing, but there is more tenderness.
"Hmm!" Xia Yun sat on the roof, watching everything in front of her shrouded in golden morning light, "Let's go down." ”
Xia Yun said, jumping down.
Xiong Wei stood up and wanted to jump, but as soon as he stood up, he found that his feet were numb. As soon as he took a step, instead of jumping, he rolled off the roof with a grunt.
Xia Yun was startled, strode over, and grabbed Xiong Wei. Xiong Wei stood on the ground like a cripple.
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Yun asked strangely, with his martial arts, how could he jump on a roof and fall down.
"It's okay! It's okay! Let's go pack it early so we can get on our way. Go directly to Linqing. ”
Xia Yun then remembered that Xiong Wei was pressed by her all night last night, so the blood was not smooth, and his hands and feet were not flexible, so he fell down. "I'm sorry ......"
Xiong Wei smiled and said, "Let's go." Call all the brothers up. ”
Xiong Wei exercised, shaking his hands and feet, and walked towards the warehouse.
When he walked to the warehouse, the soldier guarding the door stood at the door with a tired face, and when he saw Xiong Wei coming, he immediately became energetic.
"Didn't anything happen last night, did you?" asked Xiong.
"No! We stayed there all night. The soldier replied firmly.
"That's good, open the door and load the food into the car. Let's go. ”
When the soldier opened the door, Xiong Wei was dumbfounded, and the soldier was dumbfounded.
There was no light in the warehouse, and the morning sun was faint and had not yet shone in.
Xiong Wei ran in, and there was nothing. He had personally inspected the warehouse before locking it yesterday, how could this be?
"Look!" Xia Yun scanned the warehouse with her eyes, and in the darkness, she found that only one note had been nailed to the innermost wall of the warehouse.
Xiong Wei walked over, and the note read: If you want food and grass, you will see clearly.
"What's going on?" said Xiong Wei angrily as he looked at the two soldiers on the night watch.
The two soldiers quickly fell to their knees and begged for mercy, pleading, "Lord Xiong, we really haven't left a single step this night. ”
"Yun'er, you can help me check what's different in this warehouse. I have a feeling that something must be wrong with this. Xiong Wei knew that Xia Yun was careful and proficient in the mechanism of the room, if there was a problem with the room, she would definitely be able to see it.
Xia Yun began to check along the wall next to Xiong Wei, stepping on the floor tiles hard for a while, and knocking on the wall again.
Xiong Wei stood in place, his left hand supporting his right hand, and his right hand supporting his chin, lost in thought. He sat on the roof all night watching, and he never saw a person enter or leave the county office that night.
Either the two soldiers stole it together. However, there are so many things that if you want to steal them, you have to transport them slowly. As long as you transport it away, you can see it. No matter how lucky he is, he can see it from the rooftop.
This was the last place he had seen grain, and it seemed that the problem was in this warehouse.
He took a deep breath and said, "Yun'er, have you found any clues?"
Xia Yun inspected the warehouse and said coldly, "No!"
"Yun'er, you check it carefully. I think the problem lies in this warehouse, maybe this warehouse has a secret passage mechanism. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been overnight, and so many things would have disappeared. ”
"Good!"
"Yun'er, you're here, I'll ask the county magistrate. Xiong Wei looked at the two soldiers and said, "You two come with me." ”
Xiong Wei was afraid that something would happen, so he didn't use the people in the county government to guard the warehouse. They used the soldiers they brought from Beijing. These two soldiers should not be in line with the thieves. However, maybe it was the people of Jingshi who were plotting against themselves.
As he thought about it, he suddenly noticed that he was still holding a ball of paper in his hand. This may be the only clue to this case.
"Something happened, Lord Xiong. "The county order came running around.
"Money and food have been stolen!"
"Lord Xiong! This matter has absolutely nothing to do with this official. As soon as the county magistrate heard that the official money and money and food had been lost, his face changed abruptly, and his eyes turned sly.
Xiong Wei's expression didn't feel like he did it. He glanced at it and said, "I have something to ask you." ”
"If Lord Xiong wants to ask anything, just say it, and the lower official will definitely tell you everything he knows. ”
"Is there any secret passage in this warehouse?"
"I really don't know. The county magistrate thought about it and said, "The county government has nothing to put in the first place." This warehouse has only been built for a short time to carry the grain for this escort. We also have a small warehouse that we usually use. It's only because you have a lot of things to escort this time that you built this warehouse. ”
When Xiong Wei heard this, this warehouse was built temporarily.
He speculated in his heart again: This person must know our itinerary, and he must have guessed that I would deposit this batch of money and grain to the county office.
If the county government is not enough, it will open a large warehouse. He did something to the big warehouse. The problem is still with the warehouse. At least the last time I saw these things was in the warehouse.
Just then, Xia Yun also came over.
Xiong Wei turned around and asked Xia Yun again. "Yun'er, have you found anything suspicious? ”
"No! But I thought about it carefully. I think the problem should be with the warehouse. Otherwise, it's a matter for the prefectural magistrate. ”
Xia Yun's thoughts coincided with herself, which confirmed Xiong Wei's thoughts.
Xia Yun thought about it and said, "This warehouse is a little weird, it looks like it was newly built. ”
Xiong Wei remembered what the county order had just said: There were a lot of things to be escorted this time, so this warehouse was built. Come to think of it, this warehouse was indeed built for this grain shipment. So what's the odd thing?
"Yun'er, didn't the thieves leave a note saying that we should go to Linqing? I plan to go now, you check this warehouse here. ”
"I'll go with you. When Xia Yun heard that he was leaving, she immediately said, "The warehouse won't run again, I'm coming back to check." ”
"Then come with me, so that I can rest assured. It's just a matter of the warehouse......" Xiong Wei turned his head to look at the county order and said, "You have sealed this place, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”
"By the way, you just said you have a small warehouse. Do you put the money and grain given to Texas in a big warehouse or a small warehouse. ”
"Small warehouse. Because since the money and grain in Texas have already arrived in Texas, they will not follow the big team. However, I was afraid of making a mistake when I carried it, so I put it in a small warehouse. ”
"That's good, that's good. Xiong Wei said and hurried away, and after walking a few steps, he said, "You first accompany His Royal Highness King Fu to inspect the disaster situation in Texas, and I will rush back as soon as possible." ”
Xiong Wei thought in his heart, fortunately, he did not affect the victims of Texas.
"Drive!" Xiong Wei and Xia Yun rode fast horses to Linqing.
