The black-clothed warriors' eyes were instantly bloodshot and they were full of anger. They drew their swords and rushed up with a roar. More than a dozen people were caught off guard and were chopped over by the warriors' swords.

"Murder!"

The crowd cried and ran away in scattered ways, and the scene was in chaos.

"Stop it!"

Recovery Congress President Gao You appeared out of the thick smoke.

Gao You had both legs disabled, and he was carried out from the fire by the warriors.

Gao You was so choked by the thick smoke that he coughed. He was so crazy. What did he see? The Goguryeo warrior was actually killing civilians. They were going to kill themselves!

"Stop it all!"

Gao Xunwen also came with a dozen people. He did not live in Baichang Pavilion, but in Zhengpingfang to the west. There was an eight-acre mansion, which was another secret stronghold of the Goguryeo Restoration Congress.

Gao Xunwen looked at the corpses on the ground, and at least twenty civilians were killed. He rushed forward and slapped Gao Xunwu hard.

Gao Xunwu also knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he covered his face and lowered his head.

"There is someone coming to the government!"

Luoyang Order Pei Kuan arrived at the scene with a large number of yamen runners.

It was originally just an accidental fire, but now it has turned into a murder.

The forces are fighting secretly, and warriors kill each other. No matter how many people die, the government will turn a blind eye. But if the civilians die, and more than one person, it will be a huge event.

Zi Linfeng counted the number of casualties and fisted and said, "Report to the envoy, a total of nineteen people were killed and thirty-one injured. This is not considered burns."

Pei Kuan's face became extremely ugly. Gao Xunwen stepped forward and explained: "Report to Pei Enjun, the situation was very chaotic at that time. Hundreds of people were looting property. The two sides argued and fought each other. Not only were civilians killed and injured, but our guards were also beaten to death and injured many people. The government could not put all the blame on us."

Pei Kuan said coldly: "If only one or two people died, maybe I would believe you, but nearly twenty people died and some were beheaded. This is a massacre anyway. I'm sorry, I have to arrest people. If you want to fight against the government's law enforcement, I can only notify the army."

"Pei Jun, it is my order to kill someone!"

Gao You was carried up, and he clasped his fists to Pei Min and said, "My name is Gao You, it is the leader of the Goguryeo Guitang Association. I was rescued from the sea of ​​fire. Seeing countless people robbing wealth, I lost my mind and ordered my servants to kill people. All the responsibility is to be borne by me."

Pei Min looked at Baichang Tower, which had been completely engulfed by the fire, and said to Gao You: "I will give you an hour to handle the funeral, but I still said the same thing. If the Goguryeo people want to fight against the government's law enforcement, I can only notify the army."

Gao You sighed and turned to Gao Xunwen and said, "Everyone put down their weapons and wait for the government to deal with it!"

Gao Xunwen had no choice but to talk to Gao Xunwu: "Let your brothers put down your weapons!"

No matter how unwilling Gao Xunwu was, he did not dare to disobey his uncle's orders.

"Put down your weapons and let the government handle it!"

The warriors in black put down their weapons one after another, and Pei Kuan immediately ordered the yamen runners to bring more than 20 warriors in black who participated in the killing of civilians back to the county yamen.

Pei Kuan immediately began to recover the looted property from the people.

At dawn, Gao You was also taken back to the county government by Pei Kuan. Before Gao You left, he looked at Baichang Tower, which was burned to white ground by the fire. He couldn't help but shed his eyes. Baichang Tower, which had consumed their countless efforts, was burned by a fire.

At this time, Gao Xunwen also obtained the loss list, losing 1,700 taels of silver, 320 stagnants of copper coins, 15,000 taels of gold, and missing a large box containing documents.

Gao Xunwen took a breath of air. They only had 100,000 taels of gold in total. They were hidden before Goguryeo destroyed the country, and later transported it to Luoyang, becoming their capital for restoration.

Fifteen years ago, in order to support the Supreme Emperor's coup, they took out 30,000 taels of gold, but they disappeared last night with 15,000 taels of gold, which was simply unbelievable.

"The fire last night must have been caused by Li Xiu!"

Gao Xunwu's teeth chuckled, "I warned him last night, and he took revenge on us overnight. Needless to say, he must have stolen 15,000 gold. Bastard, I have to tear him apart!"

"What?"

Gao Xunwen widened his eyes, "Who asked you to warn him?"

Gao Xunwu said, and after a while, he said, "This is the condition of King Xue. I will warn Li Xiu, and he will tell us about Yao Si's whereabouts."

"you--"

Gao Xunwen didn't recover in one breath, almost making him faint. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why don't you report such a major thing first and do it without authorization?"

"I don't think this is a big deal and there is no need to report it!"

Gao Xunwen slapped the table heavily and said furiously: "Your recklessness has destroyed Baichang Pavilion. You kill people randomly and ask the third uncle to take the blame for you. What do you want to do? Only then will you give up if you insist on letting our plan to restore the country be destroyed?"

Gao Xunwu lowered his head and said unwillingly: "It's just that I can't swallow this anger!"

"That's why you can't do big things. You will only ruin my big things. From now on, shut up and deal with you when you rescue my third uncle!"

Gao Xunwu had to sit down with hatred and sulked alone.

Gao Xunwen suppressed his anger and asked Jin Daxiang next to him again, "What do you think of the military advisor?"

Jin Daxiang sighed softly and said, "This time the heavy losses were caused by underestimating the enemy. The second son went to warn Li Xiu, but he didn't expect that he would come to take revenge. Moreover, the revenge came so quickly. Not only the second son had to learn this painful lesson, but we all had to learn it."

The Gao brothers were all silent. Jin Daxiang was right. They did underestimate the enemy before and did not take Li Xiu to heart.

Jin Daxiang continued: "What happened last night is very strange. The person who set fire must be Li Xiu. This is beyond doubt, but he is not as simple as revenge. I think his real purpose is to take advantage of the troubled waters. I can be sure that the big box was stolen by him, but gold may not be."

Gao Xunwu couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Who else would dare to steal gold besides him?"

"Shut up!" Gao Xunwen scolded angrily, and Gao Xunwu had to say nothing.

In fact, Gao Xunwen was just as strange as he was, but he didn't ask too much, but waited for Jin Daxiang to continue talking.

Jin Daxiang said lightly: "This is what I said strangely. Ten thousand taels of gold weighing nearly 1,000 pounds. How did they take it away? Besides, I also found a certificate."

He got up and walked to the door, waved and said, "Come in!"

A young woman came in from outside. She was the maid who cried last night and was still in the room. She stood not far from the box last night and witnessed the whole incident.

"You tell me what you told me again!"

The maid said tremblingly: "There are many people rushing up last night. I saw two people carrying the largest box away, one with a long face and the other with a round face. They shouted the most fiercely."

"Then the two are Li Xiu's subordinates!" Gao Xunwu next to him interjected.

Gao Xunwen glared at him and said to the maid: "You keep talking!"

"There are two other people, one is responsible for opening the box, and the other person follows behind to check what's inside the box. His back is facing me. I don't know what he is doing?

But I felt that they were looking for something, but in the end they didn't find it. When the second master came out, they fled in panic."

"Did you run away empty-handed?" Gao Xunwen asked anxiously.

"Yes, I can see clearly that they didn't take anything and ran away empty-handedly. I promise not to tell lies!"

"You go!"

The maid bowed and left, and Gao Xunwen was also confused, "If they didn't take gold, who would have taken the gold?"

"There is another possibility, those boxes are empty boxes."

"No! When moving out, if it was an empty box, the warriors wouldn't feel it?"

"Maybe it was too urgent at that time, and no one noticed it."

All kinds of speculations are not very reliable. Gao Xunwen and Jin Daxiang really can't figure out what the problem is?

Jin Xunwu next to him said coldly: "Don't worry about gold for now, think about what to do next?"

"The second young master is right. You can put gold first. Next, we have two major matters to deal with immediately. The first is to save the host, and the second is to retrieve the big box."

"What the hell is in that big box?"

Gao Xunwen was not present at the time, and he didn't know what confidential document was stolen.

The key is that other documents were burned and they could not reverse the contents of the missing boxes.

It was indeed a bit embarrassing. Jin Dasang was not very clear. The two of them looked at Gao Xunwu together.

Gao Xunwu sighed and said, "I don't know the specific box number. The person carrying the box is not literate. It should be the documents in the A warehouse. The warehouse was also very chaotic at that time. I told everyone not to take documents. The documents were backed up, so it would be okay if they burned them. I asked everyone to get valuable things, but I said it was one step late, and someone carried a box away. It was probably this missing big box."

Gao Xunwen and Jin Daxiang looked at each other. If it was a confidential document in the A warehouse, it would be a big problem.

Gao Xunwen made a quick decision and said, "We will act separately. I am responsible for finding a way to save the leader. The military advisor will handle the aftermath of Baichang Pavilion. The second brother stayed honestly and didn't go anywhere. Also, let the third sister stop testing the fire. The explosion last night must have alarmed the court."
