There is a saying called "Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes", which describes the changes in things that run counter to people's wishes. This sentence is absolutely appropriate to describe Xue Poye and Lady Lu now.
Just when the two were about to get married, Manager Hu's anxious voice sounded outside the door at an inappropriate time: "Master Marquis, Master Marquis, Mr. Zhao has asked to see you and has something important to report."
Two men and women, burning with desire, fell into the ice cave at this moment.
The green lady's expression changed drastically, she rolled over and rolled into the bed, pulled the brocade quilt over, and shrank in.
Xue Poye was even more furious. The good thing he had been looking forward to for a long time was about to succeed in an instant. Who knew that at this moment, he heard such a harsh sound and couldn't help shouting: "What is the ghost's name in the middle of the night?
"
Manager Hu outside did not expect Mr. Xue to be so angry, and was too frightened to reply.
Xue Poye patted the brocade quilt gently, leaned over and whispered: "Good sister, don't be afraid, I'll go out and beat this girl." He felt the brocade quilt shaking slightly, and he didn't know whether the green lady was shy or scared.
It's okay to be frightened, but Xue Poye couldn't bear to frighten a beautiful woman in the prime of her youth. He got up, put on his clothes in twos and twos, and rushed out the door aggressively. He saw Mr. Hu silently kneeling on his knees.
Outside, there was a look of horror.
"What the hell are you calling in the middle of the night?" Xue Poye was angry and yelled at Manager Hu.
Ever since he followed Mr. Xue, Manager Hu had never seen Mr. Hou get so angry, and he was frightened: "Hou... Mr. Hou... Mr. Zhao, please see me!"
Xue Poye shouted: "Which Mr. Zhao? What time is it, what are you doing here?"
"The Marquis... is Mr. Zhao Tianda of the Yulin Camp...!" Manager Hu said cautiously: "He... he said he has something important to do with the Marquis!"
"Zhao Tianda?" Xue Poye calmed down.
Zhao Tianda has been leading troops to guard the bank at the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and what he was guarding was the empty bank that had been stolen. Around the bank, Zhao Tianda led nearly a hundred Yulin Guards to patrol.
Senior Brother Qinglian Teru went to look for things after the bank was stolen. Naturally, there were extremely important things left in the bank. Although Habayashi Wei searched the bank and found nothing useful or clues,
In order to prevent them from sneaking in again, nearly a hundred feather forest guards guarded the empty warehouse. To be exaggerated, even a fly flying in could be spotted.
Zhao Tianda came here in the middle of the night, it must be for bank matters, and it is urgent.
"Ask him to wait, I'll be here right away." Xue Poye ordered, turned around and went back to the room, closed the door, and walked directly to the bed.
I saw the green lady pulling open a crack in the brocade quilt, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, looking at Xue Poye softly. This childish attitude made Xue Poye's heart beat fast.
He stepped forward and said softly: "Good sister, I'm going to deal with some things first. When I come back... let's continue...!"
When the green lady thought of her coquettish attitude just now, her heart was beating fast, and she said in a disgusting voice: "You...you go, I'm sleepy...!" She shrank back into the quilt again.
Xue Poye saw that she was extremely sexy just now, but now she was coy and shy. The two styles of a woman were vividly displayed in her body. He couldn't help but reach into the quilt and touch her big breasts wantonly.
This made the green lady cry out sweetly, but she thought that Zhao Tianda was still waiting, suppressed her lust, leaned into her ear and said: "Good sister, I will take good care of you when I come back...!" Then she reluctantly left the room.
He was not worried that anyone would enter his room. Even Xiao Suzhen and Yue Zhu would not enter easily in the General Guard's Mansion. The green lady happened to have a good rest inside.
…
…
In the middle of the night, while enjoying the ecstasy with the stunning beauty, he was woken up from the bed by his subordinates. Xue Poye was really not in a good mood. When he saw Zhao Tianda, his unhappy face had not yet calmed down.
"I have met you in this humble position, sir!" Zhao Tianda looked stern, saluted, and stood aside.
The lamps were already lit in the hall. Xue Poye sat down on the chair and pressed his hand: "Brother Zhao, sit down." After Zhao Tianda sat down, he asked: "What happened if you came so late?"
Zhao Tianda nodded and said: "That's right, something big happened at the Hubu Bank." His expression was a little strange, and his eyes seemed to be filled with a trace of panic.
Xue Poye frowned.
He knew that Zhao Tianda was a fierce general and full of courage. He didn't take ordinary things seriously. If something shocking hadn't really happened, he would never have looked so frightened.
"Say it!" Xue Poye said calmly.
Zhao Tianda thought for a while and said: "Sir, someone is missing from the bank again."
Xue Poye wondered: "Missing? Who is missing? Yes, why did you say 'again'? Could it be that someone disappeared before?"
"That's right." Zhao Tianda said with some self-reproach: "More than ten days ago, someone suddenly disappeared. At that time, I thought it was just a small accident, so I didn't take it to heart, so I didn't report back to you... I didn't know that tonight, another person suddenly disappeared.
, my subordinates realized that there must be a serious conspiracy involved, so they came to report to the Lord overnight."
Xue Poye was a little confused when he heard it, and said: "Exactly what is going on, please explain clearly."
"Sir, more than ten days ago, the Dali warehouse official who was responsible for inspecting the warehouse came into the warehouse for inspection. It was a routine inspection, mainly to see if there were any abnormalities in the mechanisms inside and for repairs... It was on that day that the Dali warehouse official
After the official entered the empty warehouse, he never came out. My subordinates reported to me that I took more than a dozen people to search the warehouse. We searched the twelve warehouses and all the passages inside and outside, but we found nothing.
There is no trace of Dali's treasurer." When Zhao Tianda said this, he couldn't help but shuddered: "It was too strange at the time, and there were no other troubles, so... so my subordinates did not report it to your Excellency.
"
Xue Poye snorted coldly and said, "Deputy General Guard Zhao, don't you think it's too late for you to report it when something really goes wrong?"
Sweat broke out on Zhao Tianda's forehead, he stood up and said: "Being humble... I am guilty of being humble, please punish me."
"Keep talking." Xue Poye waved his hand: "This is not the time to apologize."
Zhao Tianda hurriedly said: "Last night, another powerful treasury official came into the treasury for inspection, but he did not come out at midnight, so he took someone into the treasury again... This time something strange happened."
"What's weird?" Xue Poye sat upright and became interested.
"Curi... is haunted...!" Zhao Tianda's eyes flashed with fear. He was a tough man, but he seemed extremely afraid of ghosts.
"Absurd." Xue Poye reacted immediately. After all, he is a modern person and does not believe in ghosts. However, in this era, his thinking is far from evolved to deny the existence of ghosts.
Seeing that Xue Poye didn't believe it, Zhao Tianda hurriedly explained: "Sir, when we entered the empty warehouse, we heard strange sounds coming from several warehouses. Although the sounds were very soft, they were extremely weird. When we opened the warehouse and took a look
, but there is nothing, it is empty, and there is no trace of the powerful treasury official who was patrolling... If it is not a ghost, where did the sound... where did the sound come from? "
"Just that weird sound, do you think there is a ghost?" Xue Poye sighed.
Zhao Tianda hurriedly said: "There are also two powerful treasurers. Sir, they are all eight-foot-long men, and they are living people. However, the warehouse is empty, but we can't find them. The two big living people are still alive."
Not seeing dead people but not corpses...this...isn't this too strange?"
Xue Poye frowned, touched his nose, and had some doubts in his mind.
He has seen the layout of the Hubu Bank. After opening the huge door, there is a narrow passage inside. You have to go through several mechanisms before entering the room. The room is connected to twelve rooms, which are all used for display.
Guanyin's place is very simple.
Now the official silver in the bank has long since disappeared, and it is even more empty. If someone is really inside, it will only take a short time to find it, and there will definitely not be no one. After all, except for the giant
Outside the passage behind the door, Kuyin is surrounded by very hard rocks, making it impossible to get out from other places.
"How is the situation over there now?"
"The humble position has transferred fifty more people to strengthen the alert...!" Zhao Tianda replied: "Sir, look at this...!"
Xue Poye stood up and sighed in his heart: "I wanted to have sex with my good sister tonight, but it seems that I won't have such a happy marriage. ***, God failed, but fortunately there is still tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." He looked at Zhao Tianda.
He glanced at it and said, "Let's go to the warehouse and take a look first."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Xue Poye immediately returned to the room. He wanted to talk to Madam Green, but when he arrived in the room, he found that the bed was empty. Madam Green had long gone, but the room was still filled with the faint scent left by Madam Green.
Body scent.
Xue Poye sighed, changed his clothes, and then went out to follow Zhao Tianda to the Hubu Bank.
At this time, many Yulin guards had been added to the Bank of Hubu Bank, and many people were whispering. As soon as Xue Poye entered the bank courtyard, his expression turned cold, and he asked Zhao Tianda next to him: "They all know
Already?"
Zhao Tianda said with some fear: "This...maybe who said it."
"Both trees and grass are soldiers." Xue Poye snorted coldly: "Don't you know that this will shake the morale of the army? If you don't pass the order, no discussion is allowed... Find out who made the news, put a stamp on it, and improve your memory."
Zhao Tianda hurriedly said: "I obey my order." Fu'er gave a few instructions to the Yulin Guard beside him. The Yulin Guard immediately went down and shouted a few words. Then all the Yulin Guards stopped talking and saw the Chief Guard coming.
, all stood still and saluted.
The Treasury of the Ministry of Finance is divided into east and west warehouses. The empty warehouse belongs to the east warehouse. There are forty warehouses, and there are twelve silver rooms in each warehouse. Thirty-seven warehouses were stolen, and the silver in the remaining three warehouses has long been stolen.
It was moved to Xiku.
Dozens of buildings lined up vertically and horizontally look solemn and majestic. Before the East Treasury was stolen, nearly a thousand garrison troops were guarding it. However, since it became an empty warehouse, in the eyes of most people, it is no longer a place to be in the East Treasury.
There is no point in guarding here.
However, Xue Poye insisted on deploying hundreds of Yulin guards here. Maybe he would never get any useful clues, but he would never allow any outsiders to sneak in here and take away some hidden clues.
The warehouse where the incident occurred was Warehouse No. 23 of East Treasury, near the northwest corner. At this time, more than 20 Yulin Guards were guarding in front of Warehouse No. 23, lighting torches and taking photos of this area.
It's extremely bright.
"Right here!" Zhao Tianda stood behind Xue Poye, with fear still in his eyes.
At this time, the boulder gate has been opened, and the dark passage looks like there is a real ghost lurking, which is indescribably eerie and terrifying. The Yulin Guards guarding here are also elite troops, but in this environment
, there is more or less a hint of panic.
Xue Poye can still understand this.
After all, due to the limitations of the times, people in the world are in awe of gods and ghosts.
Imagine that tens of millions of taels of official silver have disappeared, which is almost impossible to do by manpower. Now, two powerful treasurers have disappeared in a row, and there are faint and strange noises in the warehouse. All of these combined, it is really a bit mysterious.
It's no wonder that people think of thieves as ghosts. If Xue Poye was a native of Chu and had been baptized by ghost culture since childhood, he might think so too.
Seeing everyone's panic, Xue Poye knew it was necessary to calm down the morale of the army. He stepped forward and patted a Yulin guard on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Are you scared?"
The Yu Linwei immediately stood respectfully and said loudly: "Don't be afraid!"
Xue Poye laughed and said: "Just be afraid, it's no big deal. We are all flesh and blood. We are afraid of death, afraid of getting sick... Sometimes we are afraid of our wives, there is nothing shameful about it."
His last words immediately caused everyone to laugh, and the weird atmosphere was slightly relieved at this time.
The Yulin Guard smiled awkwardly, nodded and said: "Master Chief Guard, is this...is there really a ghost?"
Xue Poye laughed and asked: "I heard people say that this ghost absorbs people's energy. Have you ever heard that ghosts steal people's money?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other. Many people shook their heads.
Xue Poye laughed and said: "That's right, I haven't heard of it either. I've been thinking that only people can use this money. If ghosts want to steal it, they should go to the coffin shop to steal the money. Come here to make a fuss.
What's the power? So I think it's just someone trying to make things up, and the theory of ghosts is really ridiculous."
"Who is making a fuss?" Seeing the Chief Guard being so kind, a Habayashi Guard couldn't help but ask.
Xue Poye laughed and said: "Little brother, don't worry, if I find out who is behind the scenes, I will tell you."
As soon as he said this, there was another burst of laughter.
Xue Poye looked back at Zhao Tianda and said in a deep voice: "Take a few people, light the torches, and follow me in." Taking the lead in walking into the dark passage, Zhao Tianda immediately led several Yulin guards, holding up
The torch followed.
The mechanism of the passage has naturally been locked. As soon as he entered the passage, a wave of heat hit his face. The interior of the warehouse was sealed on all sides, and there was no air penetration on weekdays, so it was extremely hot and stuffy, and the air was also very bad.
This was the second time Xue Poye entered the warehouse. If he felt curious and nervous once, this time he only felt confused.
"Did Dali's treasurer come in through this passage?" Xue Poye asked with a frown.
Zhao Tianda hurriedly said: "Yes, sir, although this is an empty warehouse, it will still be used to store treasury silver in the future, so Dali's treasury officials have to come in every once in a while to check whether the agency is operating normally, and there are still twelve warehouses
Does the door operate flexibly?"
Xue Poye nodded and asked again: "Are the mechanisms in this passage open on weekdays?"
A powerful treasury official followed, and replied: "Replying to your lord, on weekdays the stone door is closed tightly, the mechanisms are open, and there are people guarding the outside. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to enter the warehouse."
"So, except for ghosts, no one can come in quietly?" Xue Poye asked with a frown.
"yes!"
As soon as the word "ghost" came out, everyone felt terrified again.
A group of people walked through the passage and then entered the spacious corridor. There were twelve bank rooms in a row in the corridor. At this time, the twelve bank rooms were all closed. The entire bank was silent, except for the smell of
The sound of several people breathing.
Xue Poye said calmly: "Open it!"
Dali, the treasurer, hurriedly stepped forward and opened a warehouse door in twos and twos.
Xue Poye walked into the house first. Under the firelight, he only saw rows and rows of silver stamps. They were all shelves used to store official silver. The entire warehouse was square and surrounded by solid materials.
It is made of rocks, solid and flat, and the ground is also paved with smooth granite, without any gaps. The entire warehouse is like a small, breathless prison.
"You mean, there are weird sounds coming from here?" Xue Poye looked around and asked thoughtfully.
Zhao Tianda said: "I led people into the passage, but I heard a strange sound coming from inside, but I didn't know which room it came from... When we walked through the passage and reached the corridor, the sound disappeared
I can't hear a sound."
"Have there been any changes to these items in the warehouse?"
"No!" Dali's treasurer said with certainty: "The silver upsetting is still the same as before, there is no change."
"In other words, the sound couldn't be the sound of the silver bucket collapsing or moving?" Xue Poye looked even more confused.
According to his previous speculation, it was probably because of the hot summer and active material molecules, which caused the silver top to automatically collapse or move and make some weird sounds.
If these circumstances did not occur, where did the strange sounds heard by these people come from?
Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, Xue Poye was still a little nervous. He looked around to see if there was really a ghost in the house.
The more he looked at this airtight warehouse, the more confused he became. He really didn't understand how the official silver could disappear in such a warehouse. What's more, at that time, there were soldiers of the garrison guarding the silver outside the warehouse.
Any slightest movement could be discovered, not to mention the huge amount of government money shipped out from here.
"Can a thief still go to heaven and earth?" Xue Poye stared at the thick rock top of the roof and muttered to himself.
His body shook violently: "Heaven and earth?" His eyes suddenly lit up, moved slowly, and finally stopped on the granite ground at his feet.
Everyone saw Master Xue's expression was different, and they all followed his gaze and looked at the ground.dd
