Chapter 43: Ghost Soldiers Tribulation
The weather today is extremely gloomy, with dark clouds rolling in, and it looks like a heavy rain is about to fall. On this day when everyone is sheltering from the rain at home, dozens of carriages are driving out of Handan, the capital of Zhao. This is a sign of pressure.
The military pay for the Surabaya camp outside the city was genuine gold, totaling two hundred thousand taels.
Just as this group of soldiers was carefully escorting soldiers out of the city, they did not notice that a group of crows had quietly followed them. When they arrived at Luofeng Valley outside Handan City, suddenly the heavy fog rose and the crows screamed strangely.
Continuously, everyone began to panic slightly now. Lord Guangyang cursed secretly: "Unlucky." Then he ordered to continue moving forward. Although there is something strange here, because this is near the capital of King Zhao, Guangyang
You are confident that nothing bad will happen.
Seeing the fish take the bait, after the protagonists arrived, Mu Huaiyuan smiled slightly and raised the Longquan Sword in his hand. Suddenly the sky changed color and dark clouds gathered. With the sound of thunder, it started pouring rain. The fog did not dissipate, but became more intense.
It's getting thicker. "Xi, Qianqian, hurry up and use the magic magic method with me - Xuyuan Ghost Realm!" Before the words finished, the three people formed seals with their hands at the same time, and an invisible aura suddenly spread to the entire Luofeng Valley.
middle.
In the thick fog, two green lights suddenly appeared, and then countless light spots appeared. If you look closely, these light spots turned out to be pairs of ghost eyes, and countless armored ghosts were approaching the escorted soldiers.
.The fat man in the lead waved his hand when he saw this, and the panicked soldiers immediately fired arrows, but it had no effect at all.
Countless ghosts screamed and approached the escort. Lord Guangyang was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. When he saw the ghosts rushing towards him, Lord Guangyang rolled his eyes and foamed at his mouth, but he was frightened to death.
Yes, it saves some unnecessary trouble.
The rain didn't last long, but it ended within a quarter of an hour. The rain dispersed and the fog dispersed, and the sun shone brightly. If it weren't for the scared Guangyang Jun and the wet ground, everyone would probably think that what just happened was an illusion. "Ah,
Military pay, military pay is gone!" Suddenly a soldier shouted in despair. The military pay is missing, and they are the ones who have to bear the main responsibility. For a moment, everyone has only one thought in their minds, that is it is over!
……………
"Absurd!" King Zhao stood up and looked at the escort officer as soon as he took the case and said, "Where is the ghost in the world? I think someone is playing tricks on me!" The escort officer was trembling all over and said, "Your Majesty, really
There is a ghost!" "There is a ghost. Okay, come here, give him to me for interrogation. None of these people can be spared. I won't believe it. Is there really a ghost?" King Zhao said angrily,
But no one in the court said a word, and the luck-pressing official was left crying and howling.
"Two hundred thousand taels of gold disappeared mysteriously, we can't ignore it. Lao Wu, Lou Qing, you will be responsible for this matter." After hearing this, the two people hurriedly went out to take orders. Seeing this, King Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Mu
Sir, it's up to you to assist. We must capture these young men and recover the two hundred thousand taels of gold." After hearing this, Mu Huaiyuan came out and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry." "Very good, we will withdraw from the court within fifteen days.
, I want to see the result." After saying this, King Zhao waved his sleeves and left.
Seeing this, everyone could only look at each other and leave, but they all discussed the theory of ghosts and gods on the way out. "Master Marquis, Master Sikou, how about moving one into the mansion?" Zhao Qian looked at Mu Huaiyuan and Lou with a serious face.
Chang said, the two nodded and said nothing more.
In the living room of the Fifth Young Master's Mansion, three people were sitting together.
Zhao Qian said with a serious face: "Where are the ghosts and gods in this world? It seems to Yi Qian that there must be someone behind the scenes who is pretending to be a ghost and wants to swallow up this batch of gold." Mu Huaiyuan nodded and said: "The skills of the lineage of Shu.
Most of them can perform illusions, and it is not difficult to pretend to be a ghost, but I am puzzled as to how this gold disappeared."
Lou Chang also nodded and said: "I also have a candidate in mind for the murderer, but how this batch of gold disappeared is indeed a problem!"
Hearing this, the three fell into silence again. When they said that there were ghost soldiers, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had a rough judgment, that is, the perpetrator was the Ping An Church. Because Zhao Wangting did not specifically suppress the Ping An Church, it made him in Zhao
The development of the country is very smooth, and even the headquarters has been moved to Handan. However, the leader of Ping An Church is very mysterious, and even many middle-level people in the church do not know his voice and appearance.
Combined with the theft of gold, everyone has a general idea in their minds at this time, that is, the Heian Church is going to claim the throne. It can be said that because of the daily behavior of the leader of the Heian Church, such a big event happened in the Heian Church.
After that, he was the perfect candidate to take the blame. This was what Mu Huaiyuan specifically guided and wanted to see. The key now is how the gold disappeared. If you understand this, you can take action against them.
After Mu Huaiyuan and Lou Chang left, Gu Xiaoxiao came out from behind the screen. "Brother Gu, what do you think about this matter?" Zhao Qian looked at Gu Xiaoxiao with a smile. Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of doubts: "
Brother Zhao, do you really think things are that simple?" Zhao Qian narrowed his eyes and asked, "How do you say this?"
Gu Xiaoxiao said: "This matter is weird no matter how you look at it. First, why does the Ping An Church know the time for escorting the military pay? Second, what benefit does the Ping An Church rob this batch of gold to them? Third, why
If you have to doubt the leader in red, is there someone else who robbed the gold?"
Every time Gu Xiaoxiao said something, Zhao Qian felt more and more pressure. He also noticed that it seemed that the mastermind behind the scenes had put the blame on Ping An Church: "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Brother Lou, does he know how this gold disappeared?
?" Gu Xiaoxiao smiled after hearing this and said, "Brother Zhao, have you ever heard of water eliminating gold?"
At this time, Lou Chang said to Mu Huaiyuan: "Master Hou, according to my judgment, the two hundred thousand taels of gold must still be in Handan City. Although I don't know how the gold disappeared, in order to prevent accidents, I still hope that the Hou
I led troops to search the homes of Ping'an believers door to door." When he said this, a glint flashed in Lou Chang's eyes.
How could the city government of this old fox not see through the suspicions, but this old fox simply ignored the suspicions, and he was trying to fix the Ping An Church! "Master Lou, if you directly lead people to seize them by force, I'm afraid the Fifth Young Master...
"It doesn't matter. I am the secret service officer of Zhao State. When handling cases, my opinion must be the main one."
