Chapter 169 I sent you those three melons and two dates?
At night, the moon and stars are few and far between.
Jingzhou.
Qingniu Town, inside a small courtyard that was burned to rubble.
A dozen men in black robes stood among them.
A man wearing a judge's mask looked at the collapsed house with sinister eyes.
He is the Yueying Tower, the leader of the Great Wei Hall, and the iron-faced judge.
moment.
Several more men in black robes rushed into the courtyard and came to the iron-faced judge.
A man came forward, saluted and said: "Master, we have already been to the county government office. There are only three broken skeletons. Hei Lao was decapitated. White Fox and Mayfly have many knife marks on their bodies.
No body of Baibiansheng was found.”
"I speculate that Baibiansheng must have teamed up with other masters to ambush the three men, Hei and Lao, and after killing them, they threw them into the house and burned their bodies."
As he spoke, he handed a willow-leaf flying knife to the iron-faced judge, "Hall Master, this was found among the evidence."
The iron-faced judge lowered his eyes, held the willow leaf flying knife in his hand, looked at the inscriptions on it, and murmured: "Golden Wind Drizzle Tower..."
As he spoke, a look of contempt appeared on his face, "It seems that this is an assassination specifically targeting my Yueying Tower. After playing hawk all my life, a sparrow pecked my eye!"
"Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower is really interesting..."
The man frowned and said in confusion: "Hall Master, are they leaving things behind deliberately to confuse us? This organization of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower has never been heard of in the Wei Dynasty."
The iron-faced judge played with the willow leaf flying knife and said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say, we have offended many people in the Wei Dynasty. I really don't know who did it for a while, but he was able to kill the three people from Heishan so easily without leaving any trace.
He is definitely not an ordinary person."
"Gather the troops, push away half of the tasks in hand, and then dig out the Bai Bian Sheng and this Golden Wind Drizzle Tower for me, the Hall Master!"
"I want to let them know how stupid they have done and how many people they have offended that they shouldn't have offended. I want to let them taste the taste of purgatory..."
All the men in black robes around them bowed and said, "It's the hall master!"
The words just fell.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
As silhouettes of people flashed, a group of men in black robes disappeared.
The Iron-faced Judge looked down at the house, then up at the moon, and then his figure flashed and left the yard.
...
at the same time.
Jinling City.
Eastern suburbs.
Gu Qing, Xiao Jin and Xiao Mu were hiding in the poplar trees on both sides of the official road.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Mu looked indifferent.
Gu Qing frowned slightly.
He never dreamed that the master behind Xiaoyu Tower was Qin Yu, the second son of Prince Qin's palace who was unparalleled in the Wei Dynasty.
He also didn't expect that the young prince really held a grudge. After being assassinated by Yueying Tower, he secretly formed an organization and killed three Tianzi killers from Yueying Tower's Dawei Hall.
It is true that hatred must be repaid.
Gu Qing felt that no one in Yueying Tower was as vindictive as Qin Yu.
However, he felt a lot more at ease. The one who could compete with Yueying Tower in Wei Dynasty might really be this young prince.
With the imperial court at his back, he was not short of money and was not afraid of causing trouble.
This is a natural advantage.
Just as Gu Qing was thinking, a fast horse rushed from a distance.
Xiao Jin turned to look at Gu Qing and muttered: "Lao Gu, are you ready?"
In the past few days, Gu Qing and Xiao Jin have gotten along very well. At least the people here will not force him to do things he doesn't want to do, and they are very relaxed and have no tasks.
The most important thing is that once you become your own person, you trust him very much.
After Lu Qing agreed to join, he deliberately disguised himself and went out on the street several times, and no one even stared at him.
This kind of environment made Gu Qing feel very comfortable, and the young prince was very generous. He made money from the coarse salt business and gave him twenty thousand taels of pocket money.
Therefore, Gu Qing felt that this was the most suitable place for him, both in public and private matters, in terms of emotion and reason.
Gu Qing raised a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm the best at this."
moment.
The fast horse rushed over.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Mu jumped under the tree and violently pulled up the trip rope.
The law...
With the sound of a horse neighing, both people and horses flew out.
Immediately afterwards.
Gu Qing, who was wearing night clothes, rushed towards the man like lightning, and then kicked the man on the head with his right foot.
Bang.
Before the man could react, he was kicked unconscious by Gu Qing.
Afterwards, Gu Qing carried the man on his shoulders, while Xiao Jin and Xiao Mu led the horses and retreated into the dense forest.
An hour later.
After disguising himself, Gu Qing carried a copy of the letter, sat astride the treasure horse, and headed all the way to Dongzhou.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Mu carried the man and retreated towards Jinling City.
The person in Baijiang Heng's mansion who reported the news to Xiao Wenmao was caught by them.
Qin Yu then had another trump card.
Everything is going according to Qin Yu's plan.
...
The next day.
Jinling City.
Yong'an Hall.
Emperor Wei walked around the court with a downcast expression and lowered his eyes and said: "Now is the time when my life as a great Wei is at stake. The Ministry of Revenue is short of money to buy coarse salt and build a horse farm. Is there any way you can make up for this money for me?"
superior?"
"Every one of you usually swears to serve the imperial court, but now that I need you to serve, why are you all mute!? Is it because I can't even raise military pay when I attack Dongzhou, so you are happy!?"
Emperor Wei was scanning the palace's civil and military officials.
All civil and military officials shook their heads and sighed, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
"Sigh... buying salt, building a horse farm, raising military pay, this... none of these is a small number, and it is not something we can afford!"
"I heard that the price of salt has increased to 450 cents per catty. The court's little money to buy salt is just a drop in the bucket."
"Nowadays, apart from increasing taxes, is there any better way? If you don't want to raise taxes, how can you make money?"
"That's right, you can't let me pay this money after all, right?"
...
All the civil and military officials were discussing in low voices with melancholy expressions on their faces.
Since ancient times, no court has been short of money.
Just when everyone is at a loss.
Two figures appeared outside the main hall, heads held high and chests held high, striding toward the outside of the hall.
"Your Majesty, I will pay for this!"
Qin Yu walked into the palace, looking like he was wealthy and had no shortage of money.
Xiao Nan stood next to Qin Yu, looking arrogant.
I saw the two of them appeared.
All the civil and military officials suddenly felt uncomfortable, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.
Although I don't know why.
But they felt that as long as this matter had anything to do with Qin Yu, it might not be a good thing.
Emperor Wei looked at Qin Yu and was overjoyed, but the expression on his face was still very serious, "You? Do you know how much money I need? You can pay for it?!"
"The money for court tea cannot be made up by your three melons and two dates."
