Chapter 36: Solving the Disaster Relief Silver Disappearance Case
Jiang Chaoge knew that the key point was to start from here.
He could feel Wu Qijiu's admiration for the girl in his heart, because Wu Qijiu's eyes were fixed on the girl from beginning to end and never left.
Everything the girl said and did moved him deeply.
He began to tentatively say some drunken words: "Girl, have you ever gotten married?"
"No... never." The girl buried her head in her chest, showing a certain amount of shyness.
Wu Qijiu liked her even more, and continued to ask: "That girl...is she a virgin?"
"What did the righteous man say? The slave... is naturally a virgin." The girl looked at her with a look of admiration. She took the warmed wine and poured it into the wine glass in front of Wu Qijiu.
So Wu Qijiu was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to hold the girl.
Wen Yu entered his arms, warm and soft, which made Wu Qijiu even more excited. He pulled the girl into his arms and touched her hard while he was drunk.
The girl screamed: "You righteous man, don't do this... My family is an innocent... innocent family."
"Hahaha……"
The room was filled with laughter.
Then, Wang Yuanwai spoke up, and he took the initiative to bring up the matter of the girl and Wu Qijiu being in love.
The implication is that if Wu Qijiu really wants to marry a young girl, it is not impossible, but she needs to prepare a heavy betrothal gift.
Wu Qijiu naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and gave a piece of jade pendant to the girl as a token of love, and also gave two thousand taels of silver notes.
Member Wang was overjoyed.
So, the two set an appointment date and invited the matchmaker to come over one month later to make the appointment.
Then, something unexpected happened to Jiang Chaoge. The girl took the initiative to go to Wu Qijiu's room at night, and some indescribable things happened between the two of them.
"Wang Yuanwai deceived Liang Ping'an!" Jiang Chaoge understood a little when he saw this: "Wu Qijiu came to pester the girl because the two were engaged."
Moreover, the two of them have skin-to-skin contact!
I see!
The picture changes again.
Jiang Chaoge saw Wu Qijiu following two Mohist disciples to the Qing River, which was under the cliff of Lingzhu Temple.
Then, he saw a masked man.
The masked man told the three of them that they needed to find a suitable location on the cliff and dig a fortification within half a month, and also put forward a series of requirements.
Wu Qijiu and the two Mohist disciples were naturally prepared to follow orders.
But right here, something happened on the Qinghe River.
Suddenly there was a huge wave on the river.
It seemed like something terrible was hiding in the river, as if it was about to emerge from the water.
Wu Qijiu was startled. He saw three sharp long horns gradually appearing in the turbid river water, with a black cold light shining on them, and at the same time, pieces of scales were revealed.
Two faint blue eyes appeared in the turbid river water, staring at him.
"River God!"
Jiang Chaoge had read the River God's file, which showed the general appearance of the River God, with a triangle on his head and scales on his back.
If this thing is not a river god, what is it?
Next, huge waves rolled up from the river and rushed toward Wu Qijiu and the others.
Wu Qijiu didn't know what else was going on. He only knew that his feet were entangled with something like a tentacle, and he was forced into the river. He kept shouting from his mouth.
"I killed the wrong person... I killed the wrong person. I am Wu Qijiu! Gugugu... I am Wu Qijiu... let go... Gugugu..."
The screen ends here.
Because Wu Qijiu is dead!
Jiang Chaoge opened his eyes again, and the turbid river water on the bed had disappeared. Wu Qijiu's head was also gone, leaving only the unconscious girl and Liang Ping'an.
The ghost is solved.
But Jiang Chaoge felt a little shocked.
"River God! Was it the River God who killed Wu Qijiu?"
Jiang Chaoge had made this speculation in his mind, but he always thought that with the strength of the River God, it would be impossible to take the initiative to deal with a weakling like Wu Qijiu.
But the picture in my memory is indeed like this.
Wu Qijiu was killed by the River God!
Jiang Chaoge thought of Zhou Jiaoer again, because what happened to Zhou Jiaoer also happened under the cliff of Lingzhu Temple. Could it be that Zhou Jiaoer's death was also caused by the river god?
why?
Why does the River God appear so frequently under the cliff of Lingzhu Temple?
Is there any connection between Lingzhu Temple and the River God?
Jiang Chaoge thought for a while. The clues he had now were limited, so he could only put aside the matter of the River God first...
"Wu Qijiu and other Mohist disciples appeared under the cliff of Lingzhu Temple, and the 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver were also thrown under the cliff of Lingzhu Temple!"
The two should be related!
Mohism has always advocated doing justice for heaven, robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
Nowadays, disasters are happening in every county in Lingyang County, but the government has not done much. Instead, they are trying their best to collect money for disaster relief.
Therefore, it is very possible that the Mo family is planning to use money for disaster relief!
Aren’t you doing nothing?
Then, in order to save the common people in the world, I, the Mo family, will steal your money and distribute it to the poor people!
It is very consistent with the Mohist style of doing things.
"I know where the three hundred thousand taels of disaster relief money are!"
Jiang Chaoge suddenly woke up.
Because he knew very well that even the Mo family did not dare to rob official silver openly, so the Mo family's plan should be to create an "accident" and throw the blame on the River God.
"Three hundred thousand taels of disaster relief money is not a small amount. After the Mo family got it, they couldn't transport the money away openly, so they dug a fortification in the cliff of Lingzhu Temple in advance!"
"I see. No wonder the Mo family chose to attack on the cliff of Lingzhu Temple."
Jiang Chaoge fully understood that if the location chosen was an ordinary river bank, once the government came to make money, there would definitely be some action.
The soil on ordinary river banks is sparse, and even if fortifications are excavated, they are easily discovered.
Therefore, it can only be a high cliff.
If a fortification is dug in a high cliff, even if the government comes to make money, they will not pay attention to the cliff. This is the darkness under the lamp!
"The loss of three hundred thousand disaster relief money happened two days ago, and Zhou Jiaoer brought people to collect the money the next day, so the Mo family couldn't transport it away in time, and there was such a heavy rain tonight..."
"The silver is probably still in the cliff!"
Jiang Chaoge looked sharply at Liang Ping'an.
Let Liang Ping'an look for money?
No, no!
Liang Pingan's uncle was the supervisor. If Liang Pingan found the money, the credit would definitely go to his uncle and had absolutely nothing to do with County Magistrate Zhou.
"We can only let Erlang get his money back, so that he can make up for his mistakes and magistrate Zhou can be released!" Jiang Chaoge soon had an idea.
As for Liang Pingan...
Now that the ghost has been removed, everything should be fine.
Jiang Chaoge planned to take advantage of the time before Jiang Erlang arrived to find the location of the fortifications on the cliff of Lingzhu Temple. After all, he could directly escape from the earth, and any fortifications would be invisible to him.
Then, after Jiang Erlang brought people over, the two souls became one again.
Perfect!
This way you don't have to walk back again.
Each of the three souls has a complete set of three souls and seven souls. Therefore, the separated soul has to rely on walking to go to one place, and it still has to rely on walking when going back. It cannot return directly in a single thought. This is the only trouble at this stage.
