Chapter 37: Shock
At night, it was pitch black, and when the guards tried to break into a private house, Beg pounced on them from behind them, and broke their necks cleanly. The sound of bones shattering was so inconspicuous in the mad roars of the old boy demon and the Fire Lord, Beg carefully threw their cooling bodies into the nullah by the side of the road.
Two figures swept overhead with a strong wind, and a large group of willows rode wildly on their mounts, following the old boy demon and the Fire Lord towards the city gate. Soon the sound of hooves faded away, chasing in the direction of the only avenue leading to the outside world in Xiaomeng City.
Beg nodded, carefully arranged the masked cloth, and turned to walk into the house.
At noon, the sun was shining.
Beqi and Lu Chengfeng sat in the private seat of Qingshan Building, happily looking at the empty street without a single pedestrian.
Last night, Beg stole the old boy demon and the Fire King's storage bags, killed a few of Liu Suifeng's close guards, and left their bodies in the nullah. A few things were improvised, and Liu Suifeng and his group immediately went crazy.
The old boy demon and the Flame King were furious, and led a large number of people to close the four gates of Xiaomeng City, and the whole city was squeezed, bent on catching the Liangshang gentleman who had stolen all their net worth, and cutting him with thousands of knives.
Liu Suifeng was also angry at the death of several cronies and guards, and with the power of the three military inspectors, he mobilized the city guards to impose martial law throughout the city, and all the people were not allowed to leave their homes, and each family was searched in turn. All shops were forced to close, and the city became lifeless, like an empty city.
Picking up the wine glass and drinking a glass of wine, Bei Qi squinted his eyes and smiled: "The wild dog whose tail was burned, should be this reaction?"
Lu Chengfeng smiled proudly, he put a piece of fatty fragrant roe deer meat in his mouth and chewed it a few times, and said slowly: "Liu Junhou, they are too much. The matter of blackmailing more than 100 merchants is now estimated to be spread to the royal capital, and there are several merchants' backgrounds here, but it is not as simple as they imagined. ”
Leaning on the window frame very comfortably, watching the guards in scarlet armor and battle robes rushing in and out of the houses, Lu Chengfeng sneered: "I don't know what is dead or alive. Although Xiaomeng City is a deserted city, they don't know how many benefits Xiaomengcheng will give to those princes and lords in the royal capital every year? The rare things produced by Xiaomengcheng every year are sent to the Great Yan Imperial Capital, which are worth at least tens of millions of gold!"
Bei Qi nodded knowingly, and didn't say much to fill Lu Chengfeng with a glass of wine.
Liu Suifeng and Lu Quyuan acted so recklessly, but they infringed on the interests of many people. They now hunt down thieves under martial law throughout the city, and the commercial activities of the city have suddenly stopped. Look, look at the huge benefits of tens of millions of gold every year, and what people can be mobilized to make it difficult for Liu Suifeng and the others.
Don't beg to pick up the wine glass, touch it with Lu Chengfeng, who is full of smiles, and both of them drink it all.
After a long sigh of relief, Lu Chengfeng looked at Bei Qi with a blank eye and asked, "Those two tips, you took them?" Those two old monsters, but they are both congenital fetal level monks, and their cultivation is extremely strong and inspiration is strong, how did you get it?"
Don't look at Lu Chengfeng with a smile, and shake his head again and again very seriously: "I didn't do it." I don't want to beg my master to be strict in my law, and I never allow my disciples to steal. ”
Lu Chengfeng looked at Beg silently, eager to slap back all the smiles on his face.
Rolling his eyes, Lu Chengfeng sneered: "I'm still a child, do you believe it or not?"
Beqi stared at Lu Chengfeng's eyes very seriously, and he said very seriously: "I believe it!"
Lu Chengfeng's hands trembled a little, he had seen all kinds of characters, and it was the first time in his life that he had seen a person like Beqi who was almost shameless. grabbed the wine jug and filled himself with wine, and drank three glasses of wine in a row, Lu Chengfeng let out a long breath.
There was a dense sound of footsteps outside the fierce seat, and Xiao Hei, who was standing outside the door, shouted, "Who dares to trespass?"
A few body collisions erupted, and then Xiao Hei staggered back into the seat, and a few doormen beside Liu Suifeng strode in. One of them glanced at Lu Chengfeng arrogantly, and said with a smile: "On behalf of the city guard, our prince invites you to go to the Dianjun Mansion." Starting today, our prince will review and evaluate the military affairs of Xiaomeng City, and you must be present to guard the city. ”
Beg stood up slowly, he glanced at Xiao Hei, who had a miserable white face, obviously Xiao Hei suffered a big loss from the short fight just now. Smiling proudly, Don Beg snorted coldly: "I thought that the prince was busy catching thieves and didn't have time to do business?"
The faces of several of Liu Suifeng's doormen suddenly changed, they glanced at Beg resentfully, and one of them sneered: "Xiaomengcheng is under the governance of the two, and the people are really living and working in peace and contentment, and the market is calm. This time, the two of you will always give us the prince an explanation!"
Lu Chengfeng patted his ass and stood up, he squinted at them with a hundred times more arrogant attitude than these doormen, and snorted disdainfully: "What do you say? The people on duty at night are all the personal guards of your prince, and the guards of the city guard mansion have been driven out of the distance, what does this have to do with me?"
Without even looking at these angry doormen, Lu Chengfeng held his head high and strode out.
Beg pulled the corners of his mouth at these people and smiled, patted Xiao Hei's shoulder, and pulled him out of Qingshan Tower.
In the distance, the hysterical roars of the Old Boy Demon and the Flame Lord could be heard, and they were shouting for someone to dig three feet into the ground and search a house. The theft of their storage bags hit them too hard to stop them from pursuing the stolen goods. But don't beg to know that the two tips have long been hidden by him in a secret place outside the city, and they searched in the city, where can they find them?
It can only be said that the two old monsters trusted their judgment too much, and as soon as they found out that their bags had been stolen, they immediately led people to block the only passage from Xiaomeng City to the outside world, and they confirmed that the thief was still in the city, so they made such a big move.
It's a pity that they never dreamed that the thief who stole their things was right next to them. They don't even want to think about whether a thief who can steal their bags from under their noses can be blocked by blocking an avenue?
A gust of wind swept through the air, and the old boy in a red robe jumped over the street with bared teeth, pointing to a stopped carriage on the side of the road as if he was mad and roared: "The old man's treasure must be in this car, search, search for me, you must find the old man's treasure!"
Beg shook his head and sneered disdainfully. After looking for 10,000 years like this, they don't want to get their bags back.
But as soon as he entered the military mansion, Beggar's good mood disappeared.
Liu Suifeng and Lu Quyuan, with a group of blue-robed masters, are moving out the official documents and files of countless Xiaomengcheng Dianjun Mansions, where they are being reviewed word by word. These blue-robed masters are all senior bookkeepers brought by Liu Suifeng and the others, and they have a deep attainment in the clever joints of various accounts in and out.
More than a dozen ledgers have been placed on a long case, and Lu Quyuan is standing next to the long case, sneering proudly while flipping through the account books.
"Here, there are three hundred sets of black iron full-body armor that can't match the accounts. ”
"Here, there are fifty strong crossbows missing. ”
"It's more jīng color here, marching pills, epidemic avoidance pills, six kinds of pills commonly used in the army, and there are fifteen thousand copies that are inexplicable. ”
"Tut, two years ago, the construction costs for the construction of the new school yard and the new barracks were not recorded in the books. ”
"What a bold man, here it is reported that the barbarians attacked the city, lost 790 soldiers of Jīng Rui, and also received a pension of 790 people. However, the salary in the army is still being distributed according to the full number of soldiers, and at the same time, an additional fee for recruiting new soldiers is also wholesaled!"
Dozens of records were recited in a rambling manner, each of which was ridiculous and could not stand up to scrutiny. There is no need for these senior bookkeepers, any discerning person can see that there are big black holes in the military affairs of Xiaomengcheng.
Lu Quyuan heard that Lu Chengfeng walked into the lobby of the Dianjun Mansion, raised his head and smiled sympathetically at Lu Chengfeng: "Big brother, your account is not right, the various military expenses and falsely reported funds that have been privately embezzled here are a huge number!"
Bei Qi took a few steps forward, looked at Lu Quyuan coldly, and shouted, "See clearly." Those account books were all made by Yi Yan's dead fat man when he was punctual in the city. Our ledger has only been created in the past few months!"
Lu Quyuan tugged at the corners of his mouth and laughed dryly: "That's hard to say." The previous castle guard was corrupt, and the current castle guard is not necessarily innocent. This black account, hey, hey, big brother, you have to bear some relationship. Huh?"
Lu Quyuan's tone was frivolous, and he insisted on detaining this big black cauldron on Lu Chengfeng. Lu Chengfeng just sneered behind his back, but he didn't say a word.
Over there, Liu Suifeng was urging the gentlemen in the account room to quickly find out the account books that had been newly made in the past few months, and he must find out a little clue from these account books, which can be attached to Lu Chengfeng and beat him and never turn over.
Bei Qi also held his hands behind his back and looked at Liu Suifeng and Lu Quyuan with cold eyes, he made up his mind that he must let these two people stay in Xiaomeng City and be with the barbarians.
The minutes ticked by, and soon it was evening. Beqi and Lu Chengfeng stood in the public hall without moving, but those bookkeepers were already tired and sweaty.
Liu Suifeng and Lu Quyuan urged impatiently on the side, asking these bookkeepers to find more leaks quickly.
Just as the two of them kept shouting, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside. A man dressed in black sè soft leather armor, neatly cleaned up without the slightest loose wind, and carrying a long sword behind his back, strode in with a gold medal in his hand. Behind this man, dozens of Liu Suifeng's guards followed him closely, but they didn't dare to stop him a little.
"I am under the command of Lord Jing Ke, the general of the Great Yan Dynasty, and Si Yan will not return. According to the order of the Dayan Army, all those who have cultivated for more than 40 years in Xiaomeng City will follow the order. ”
Great Yan Dynasty, General, Jing Ke!
The corners of Beggar's eyes suddenly twitched violently!
Da Yan Dynasty, General, Jing Ke appeared!
Vote, vote, Comrades!
