The Yangcheng County government office is in a state of flux due to the lawsuit over the Fang family's property, and the officials in Yangwu County in Henan are also having some headaches.
"This is a big deal! It's a big deal! Quickly mobilize people to hunt!"
This kind of shouting has been going on in the county government office for half a day, and it's giving me a headache.
The Prime Minister of Yangwu County stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, raised his eyelids and looked at the five men in front of him who were neither yin nor yang, neither merchants nor merchants, nor rich men.
Big things, big things, only one big thing happened in Yangwu.
"Really?" he said in a long voice, "Have strong men thrown stones again? Should I order the world to cast stones for ten days?"
It is said that Zhang Liang recruited strong men to attack Qin Shihuang at Bolangsha in Yangwu and accidentally hit the side of the carriage. He asked not to get anything, so he ordered the whole world to fight for ten days.
At first glance, the five people in the hall did not react.
"Whether it takes ten days or five days, we must catch this thief." One of them also said.
Where did this country bumpkin come from? The Yangwu County Magistrate chuckled.
"I didn't know that the Emperor was here," he said.
The five people were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly came back to their senses, feeling ashamed and angry.
"Good grandson..." One of them couldn't bear his temper and stepped forward to grab the county magistrate.
"What are you going to do?" The county magistrate was used to dealing with local ruffians, so he immediately backed away and screamed.
The officers standing on both sides also rushed up to surround them with water and fire sticks.
These government officials who can only scare and frighten the common people are not in their eyes at all, but now they can't make a fuss.
The leader stopped his companions and looked gloomy.
"Sir, our things were stolen at the inn." He said solemnly, "Because the stolen items are valuable, please arrest the thief."
The county magistrate was not an unreasonable person and smiled after hearing this.
"If it's stolen, it's stolen. Don't shout like you're killing someone." He said, calling the master over, "Tell me, what was lost?"
"Ten thousand taels of silver," the man said.
The county magistrate's eyes widened.
"Ten thousand taels of silver?" he asked in surprise, then narrowed his eyes again, "What do you do?"
"What do you care about what we do..." one of the five people couldn't help shouting.
The county magistrate smiled and looked at them suspiciously.
"I have to verify the authenticity of the matter. Where did the silver million liang come from?" he said.
"We are the ones who lost the things. If you don't catch the thieves, why are we checking?" The man couldn't hold back his temper anymore and stepped forward and punched the county magistrate.
The county magistrate covered his nose and screamed, and the county office suddenly fell into chaos.
........
.......
"waste!"
In the dark room, Yuan Bao said with a cold expression, looking at the five people kneeling in front of him and a dozen people standing scattered behind them.
"I asked you to pretend to report the crime, not to fight."
The five people knelt on the ground and shivered.
"Sir, being an official is so annoying." One of them said hoarsely.
"Affronting people?" Yuan Bao's voice suddenly became sharp, "You also know how to make people angry? No matter how annoying people are, is there anyone more annoying than you idiots?"
He was pacing back and forth in the room, waving his hands angrily.
"Three cars were stolen under your nose. Are you dead?"
Everyone in the room lowered their heads, but at that time they were drugged and were no different from dead people, so of course they did not dare to say this.
"Sir, it must not have been done by one person to steal three cars silently. This must be a big thief or something. It seems that we have been targeted for a long time." The middle-aged businessman stood up and said.
, "Since the identity has been revealed..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the five people kneeling on the ground. In order to get them out of the Yangwu County government office, he had to identify himself.
"Let's just mobilize the local government troops to arrest him." He continued, "Otherwise, it would be really inconvenient for us to search in private."
"Is it convenient to search in a big way?" Yuan Bao raised his eyebrows and shouted.
"Sir, there's nothing inconvenient." The businessman gritted his teeth and made a beheading gesture, "The worst thing is, we'll do it all after we're done."
Regardless of whether they are thieves or officers and soldiers helping to arrest them, anyone who comes into contact with this silver must die regardless of whether they see the inscriptions on the silver or whether they understand the meaning of these inscriptions.
Only the dead are the safest.
Yuan Bao's expression became increasingly cold.
He didn't know whether the others would die or not, he only knew that they were about to die.
What on earth happened? Who did it? He was not so stupid that he was defenseless. After leaving Yangcheng, they created more than a dozen cover identities and sent out more than 20 camouflaged cars filled with silver coins. He was fooled by the fake ones.
I can't tell the difference myself.
Along the way, they were constantly manned and took detours to change their identities, but they were spotted and the silver car was robbed without anyone noticing.
Was this premeditated or an accidental collision?
"Is there really no movement at all from the Fang family?" he asked.
Someone stood up and answered yes.
"Our people are always watching, but there is no movement from the Fang family." He said, "Miss Jun and Shi Ziye are still at the Fang family in Yangcheng. The lawsuit is getting more and more intense. Currently, Miss Fang San has the upper hand.
..."
"I don't care who has the upper hand." Yuan Bao interrupted him sharply, with shame and annoyance, "I just want to know who stole my money!"
"Sir, this technique and speed can only be achieved by a veteran thief with many years of experience." The businessman said, asking for instructions again, "Sir, let's find the thieves and suppress them."
.........
........
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank them for being so cautious." Zhu Zan said, while throwing the oil barrel in his hand on the car, "I made a load more money than expected."
After pouring the last drop of the oil barrel, Miss Jun threw the lit torch over, and with a bang, the three cars suddenly fell into a sea of flames.
The fire was hot and the smoke was pungent. Miss Jun took a step back and saw a dozen people behind her putting the silver coins that had been moved from the car into bags, book boxes, straw baskets, wheelbarrows, and even
In the pig cage.
They have different body shapes and sizes, and their faces are simple and honest. They would not be looked at twice if thrown into a crowd. They are also dressed in different styles at this time.
Is this the legendary woodcutter?
"It would be better to call him a bandit." Zhu Zan touched his nose with a bit of pride, "Those who have been bandits for many years will be killed by gold thieves and their money will also be robbed."
"Aren't these people in the North?" Miss Jun said, looking at him, "So you brought them all."
Zhu Zan smiled, and the firelight illuminated his face.
"I have said that I am wary of emperors," he said, "especially this emperor who obviously doesn't like us."
Miss Jun smiled.
"Brother."
Someone over there came over and said.
"We've packed it up."
Zhu Zan nodded to them and waved his hands.
"Go." He said simply and neatly.
The dozen or so people immediately turned around, either on horseback or on foot, pushing carts and carrying their burdens, and dispersed in all directions, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
Miss Jun looked a little lost in thought, until she suddenly thought of a question.
"Where do you want them to hide the money?" she asked.
Zhu Zan sighed.
"Don't hide it, melt it, spend it." He said, blinking, as if the question she asked was strange, "Isn't money just for spending it?"
Miss Jun groaned and seemed surprised by his answer.
"Really, rob it?" she said.
She was originally going to follow the convoy that transported the silver. It felt aggrieved to say that she even had to keep the money without any problems, but Zhu Zan asked her to do something together.
"We went to snatch it," he said, "and let him have a taste of being plotted against."
Of course he was referring to the emperor.
Yes, she couldn't let the money be exposed to the public, but she didn't have to let the emperor take it away.
On the contrary, he must not be allowed to take it away.
He cannot be allowed to sit back and relax from now on, and can cross rivers, demolish bridges, unload mills and kill donkeys unscrupulously.
So she followed Zhu Zan all the way, and Zhu Zan also called his men, waited patiently, followed carefully, and finally looked for an opportunity to take action.
But she really didn't think about what to do after robbing him, she just wanted to hide it.
"The best way to hide it is to use it and make it disappear." Zhu Zan said, "Besides, keeping it is of no use. Can you use it to threaten him?"
Threatening the emperor with this kind of thing would do her no good. Miss Jun smiled, but...
"It's an advantage for you." She said, looking at Zhu Zan who couldn't hide the smile on his face,
This is a guy who likes money. The first time he interacted with him, he robbed her of lanterns to raise money. Thinking of the past, Miss Jun also had a smile on her face.
"Are you happy to get so much money at once?" she said with a half-smile.
Zhu Zan laughed, then stopped laughing.
"What makes me happy is making the best use of everything. It is only fair that this money should be used by a good person like me." He said with a solemn expression.
Miss Jun laughed and looked back at the still burning vehicle. Yes, it is indeed fair to let good people get good rewards and bad people suffer.
She shook her hands, raised her feet and walked forward.
Zhu Zan hurriedly followed.
"Um." He coughed suddenly and pinched his fingers, "Did you forget something?"
What did you forget? Miss Jun thought about it carefully. There shouldn't be any omissions in what she did, leaving too many traces, right? Because Yuan Bao and the others acted in a sneaky way, which made it very convenient for them.
"I have done you a favor." Zhu Zan said, "You are not always very polite and like to express your gratitude."
Do you want money? Miss Jun looked at him sideways, he was really a money thief. Some time ago, she restrained herself a lot because she suddenly learned that she was a nine-year-old princess. It seems that she is used to it now and has returned to her previous behavior.
"You're wrong." She looked at him, "I should have helped you. Although you have more people, I set the trap and prepared the drug. The most important thing is that you got the money in the end.
Well, it’s you who should thank me.”
Zhu Zan said oh and looked at her, seeming a little surprised.
"That's right, that's right." He nodded seriously, "That's what I should thank you for."
"Then what are you going to do..." Miss Jun smiled.
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Zan suddenly reached out and hugged her. His movements were a little hasty, stiff and clumsy.
But luckily, this time I didn't knock her nose off with a fake couple hug like I did in Dingzhou.
However, the problem is not this, the problem is that he is...
Miss Jun came back to her senses and just as she was about to speak, Zhu Zan had already let go of her hand.
"Thank you." He said, lowered his head, twisted his toes on the ground, and walked forward past her.
Miss Jun had a look of astonishment on her face, looking at the man walking three steps in front of her, two steps in front of her, two steps in front of her, and then three steps in front of her.
