Qiantang County, in Fuyu Mountain.
"How is Yang Qingyuan's progress?!"
A mellow voice asked in the quiet room.
"Don't worry! Everything is going according to plan. The people from Shanyin Mansion have just sent the message. In the two days since Yang Qingyuan and Liu Wangshu disappeared, they probably went to the privacy of the Guyue clan to find the secret of the Yin soldiers." The feminine voice spoke.
"So, now that Yang Qingyuan is back, he must have found out the news from Gu Yue and solved the mystery of the Yin soldiers' passage?!"
"Maybe! Judging from the Gyeonggi case, it is only natural that you think highly of Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan."
"But the Guyue people rarely communicate with the outside world, and they don't trust Zhou Ting even more. How did Yang Qingyuan gain their trust!? You must know that this kind of illusion and witchcraft is also a secret within the Guyue people!" The feminine voice was confused.
"Didn't you just say that?! Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan, we can't think highly enough of them."
"..."
The person with the mellow voice changed the subject, "Is your technique still flawed?! I feel uncomfortable hearing your feminine voice, but your original voice is still natural."
The person with the soft voice was silent when he heard the words. After a long time, he said, "This technique is indeed powerful. When I was practicing, I was injured by the cold air and the foot-shaoyin meridian has been unable to recover."
"You've entered the cave and you can't even be cured?!" The mellow voice was confused.
Three years ago, there was a tide of vitality. Last year, heaven and earth were perfect.
This indeed gives many people who are stuck in the realm of Yuan Hua an opportunity to enter the realm of Dongxuan.
A series of top masters trapped in the Yuanhua Realm, such as Yin Rousheng Zhe and Guyue Er Lao, all used this time to break through the realm and enter the cave.
Even the talented masters of the younger generation such as Yang Qingyuan and Zhuang Xiaomeng are suspected of taking advantage of favorable opportunities.
The soft-voiced one shook his head and sighed.
"This injury cannot be solved by breaking through the Cave Mystic Realm. With the internal injuries and the flaws in the technique, I am lucky that I didn't die when I went crazy!"
"Aren't you refining medicine?! What? It's been almost ten years and you haven't finished it yet?!"
When he heard the medicine being refining, the person with a soft voice had a smile on his lips, "It's almost! It's almost! My medicine is almost ready!"
Once this great medicine matures and is absorbed by him, he will be able to greatly improve his martial arts, and there will be few opponents in the Dongxuan Realm.
A mere Yang Qingyuan, a mere Liu Wangshu, and a mere Ye Jianhan are nothing more than local chickens and tile dogs.
The person with the soft voice didn't think about it for too long, and returned to reality, and then changed his words, "This will happen later! What should Yang Qingyuan do now?!"
The mellow voice smiled and said, "You may think that he has made some progress now, but everything he found out was what the young master wanted him to find out."
"Um?!"
"From the last fight in Gyeonggi Province, coupled with my understanding of Yang Qingyuan over the years, this loan was specially designed for Yang Qingyuan. The ultimate purpose is for Yang Qingyuan to investigate the case." The mellow voice said The top person in charge of the mysterious organization Qinglong Society in Yuezhou.
"..."
"It's too troublesome to design a plan that Yang Qingyuan can't see through. Let's just let him investigate. Only when he investigates everything can we safely obtain the salary."
…
In Shanyin Mansion, Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan returned to the imperial mission.
Now that the treasurer Li Da is dead, the clues to the silver box are gone.
But although the clue to the silver box was broken, the silver vault is still there and cannot be moved!
If you want to exchange the silver ingots in the box, it seems that the place where you can exchange the silver ingots is Yuezhou's silver warehouse.
The head of the Yuezhou Bank happened to be a man who had a problem but committed suicide out of fear of crime.
When the clues to the silver box were cut off, Li Da's death also gave Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan a new direction.
Under the protection of three thousand divine martial arts troops, a certain or small group of martial arts forces would have no way to raise wages, no matter how high their martial arts skills were.
Then there is only one place left that can transfer the payment package - Yuezhou Bank.
But there is still a problem. How did Li Da transfer eight million taels of salary? !
Although he is the treasurer of the Yuezhou Bank, Li Daguan is only from the seventh rank. He is not the controller of the Yuezhou Bank, but a server.
Moreover, the real guardians of the Yuezhou Bank are the elites of the Shenwu Army and the six-door policemen. As the head of the Bank, Li Da has no say in front of them and cannot mobilize them to do anything.
Li Da alone cannot make the adjustment.
When the imperial court's treasury is opened, there are strict procedures for withdrawing silver.
The person who took the silver took the approval of the Yuezhou Governor's Office and was led by Yincao of the Yuezhou Governor's Office to go to the Yuezhou Bank to withdraw the silver.
Then, led by Yuezhou Yincao and the guards of the bank, the three treasurers took out their respective keys and opened the door of the bank.
After opening the bank, the Yin Cao and the garrison commanders were not allowed to enter the bank. Only the treasurer and the bank clerks could enter and count the silver.
Most of the silver in the Yuezhou Bank is installed in standard silver boxes, and the size and style of these silver boxes are fixed.
Each box is full and can hold five thousand taels of silver.
There is no room left to store more than one or two!
After the treasurer has completed the counting, he will hand it over to the banker for counting, and after confirmation by the banker, he will affix a seal and hand over the money.
This set of procedures has strict rules.
When leaving the treasury, the garrison commander would count the number of boxes to confirm whether he had withdrawn too much silver.
During this process, the only people who had access to the silver were Li Da, the treasurer, and his junior staff.
But there is no chance for them to secretly take official silver.
Every day at the end of the day, the officials inside the bank will undergo double inspections by the Shenwu Army and the Six Gates. The three parties belong to three systems, and the people from the Six Gates and the Shenwu Army are constantly changing.
The personnel of the three parties simply did not have the opportunity or time to collude with each other.
Such a bank security system is already relatively complete in Dazhou.
So if the problem lies in the bank, then the six gates responsible for guarding, the Shenwu Army, and the officials responsible for the internal work of the bank basically all have problems.
"Zhiyuan, you are the deputy envoy of the Yuezhou Metropolitan Police. It is only natural that you go to investigate the officials inside the bank. I will leave the internal affairs of the bank to you. As for me, I will go and investigate the six-door detectives and Shenwu soldiers who are responsible for guarding."
"yes!"
Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan did not go with a large group of people.
Without confirming that the problem occurs in the Six Gates and the Shenwu Army, rashly leading troops will only make everyone dissatisfied.
On the way to the bank, Yang Qingyuan sent someone in advance to notify the generals of the Shenwu Army and the six-door police officers guarding the bank.
By the time Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan arrived, everyone was already waiting for the imperial envoy at the entrance of the bank, and the Yuezhou imperial envoy was driving away.
"The last general, Yan Jianqiu, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army, and the humble commander of the six gates, Wang Fuyan, respectfully welcome the deposed envoy!"
"Excuse me for both of you!"
After the two stood up, they saluted Di Zhiyuan again and said, "See you, Mr. Di!"
"I've met two adults!"
After the ceremony, Yang Qingyuan said, "We are here today to investigate the bribery and corruption of the treasurer Li Da. You two have been working with Mr. Li for some time. I hope you will tell the truth."
"The final general (humble position) must tell everything he knows."
Yang Qingyuan then followed the two men to the garrison's station, while Di Zhiyuan went to the inside of the bank to investigate some officials.
Yan Jianqiu and Wang Fuyan brought Yang Qingyuan and the accompanying detectives to a study room.
"Mr. Yang, this is where we usually rest and work."
Yang Qingyuan was not polite and sat down on the main seat.
"You two, I need to trouble you to summon your generals and arresters to come here!"
To be honest, Yan Jianqiu and Wang Fuyan have been preparing for this day for a long time.
From the moment the salary disappeared, they knew that as the guards of the bank, they would definitely be subject to investigation.
Eight million in salary is not only a huge amount, but its significance is even greater.
Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, no one has dared to rob military pay!
After a stick of incense, the Shenwu Army and the middle level of the six gates rushed here.
"Then let's start with you, General Yan!"
Yan Jianqiu followed Yang Qingyuan into the study.
When Yang Qingyuan did something like this, it would definitely be unreasonable for these generals not to panic.
"Brother Liu, you six sects are better informed. Do you know why this deposed envoy is so involved in such a big battle!?" A team member was asking the head catcher on the side.
Although the two parties have a normal personal relationship, they have been colleagues for half a year after all. In this case, there is no problem in asking for news.
The catcher surnamed Liu spread his hands and said softly, "What else can happen? Isn't it just because of the eight million taels of salary that were robbed?!"
"But wasn't this salary robbed on the way to be transported? What does it have to do with us who keep the bank?"
"No one can escape such a shocking case! Everyone must be investigated!"
…
Not only Yang Qingyuan was questioned, but also members of the Mingqiu Division of Dali Temple who were accompanying him.
In the study, Yang Qingyuan was talking to Yan Jianqiu, the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army.
"General Yan is from the Yan family in Minzhou, right?"
Yan Jianqiu was stunned, "Sir, have you seen my file!?"
Yang Qingyuan smiled and shook his head, "That's not true! It's just that General Yan's accent should be from the direction of Minzhou. The only descendants of the Yan family in Minzhou are Yang Qi and Jian Qingfanglun... so we concluded that Yan The general is from the Yan clan."
"Master Yang is indeed knowledgeable and talented. Yes, the last general is from the Yan family in Minzhou."
Yang Qingyuan smiled reservedly, pretending not to be fake!
"When did General Yan transfer defense to the Yuezhou Bank?"
"Back to your lord, General Mo was originally stationed in Lingnan to prevent Japanese pirates from attacking merchant ships. At the end of mid-August last year, he received an order from the Shenwu Army camp and ordered General Mo to rush to Yuezhou Bank to garrison. Sir, you should know that this is It is a normal defense change in the Shenwu Army."
Yang Qingyuan nodded. The Yuezhou Bank is not only a bank in Yuezhou, but also radiates to several surrounding states. It is one of the largest banks south of the Yangtze River.
Every year, the taxes paid by the states to the imperial court, excluding the excess allocated by the imperial court, would be transferred to the Yuezhou Treasury.
The Yuezhou Bank is not only the bank of the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion, but also the central bank of the imperial court.
Therefore, the defense of the Yuezhou Bank is the most stringent and will be continuously adjusted by the generals of the Shenwu Army.
Although the bank vaults in other states are also tightly guarded, they are much worse than the Yuezhou bank vaults.
"After the general handed over the military affairs at hand, he immediately set off for Yuezhou, which he arrived in in late September. It has been about eight months since he took office."
Yang Qingyuan rubbed his fingers lightly. The guards of the Yuezhou Bank were changed probably every six months to a year, and the time was uncertain. In other words, it was almost time for the guards of the Yuezhou Bank to change.
"Does General Yan have much contact with Treasurer Li Da?!"
"This...can't be too small! After all, the guards will meet every day, and opening the bank also requires the key of a humble job!"
One of the three keys to the Yuezhou Bank's door is in Yan Jianqiu's hand.
"General Yan always carries this key with him, right?"
"yes!"
"Did the key ever leave General Yan?"
Yan Jianqiu replied without hesitation, "The general will not slack off in his duties. He will carry this key with him even when taking a shower and going to the toilet, and he will not dare to leave his body at all times."
Yang Qingyuan continued, "General Yan is indeed fulfilling his duties. Let's continue the previous topic! What kind of person does General Yan think this treasurer Li Da is?"
"This..., it should be said that Treasurer Li is serious and cautious in his work, not good at communication, and he should be relatively honest as an official."
"oh?!"
He is conscientious and prudent in his work and not good at communication. It is not a surprise if you can see it when you work with him on a daily basis. But why do you still know that he is an honest official?
Yang Qingyuan then asked, "Tell me specifically why you think he is an honest official."
"It is also based on daily observation. Manager Li's daily check-in is subject to double inspection by our Shenwu Army and the Six Doors. This inspection requires you to take off your night shoes and socks, leaving only your inner shirt. ."
"As for Zhang Ku, Li's shirt and socks are always covered with patches. It's embarrassing to say that the general thinks he is an incorruptible person, but compared with Li Zhang Ku, he still feels inferior."
Yang Qingyuan nodded. People from Dali Temple once visited the residence of Li Da, the treasurer, and found nothing in his residence.
It looks like the residence of an ordinary petty official, even with a patch on the quilt.
Moreover, Li Da has never married and has no sons. This is too abnormal for a thirty-two-year-old official.
But listening to Yan Jianqiu's description, Li Da does seem to be an honest official.
Yang Qingyuan then chatted with Yan Jianqiu about some details about Li Da. The contact between the two was basically due to official business, and Yan Jianqiu didn't know much about it.
But overall, Yang Qingyuan has created a simple image of Li Da.
A junior official who is conscientious, unsociable, taciturn, has few personal interests and hobbies, and has certain moral pursuits.
But will such a person become one of the accomplices in the loan payment case? !
In other words, he has been disguising, so that no one around him can even discover his true identity.
Yang Qingyuan put a question mark on Li Da in his heart.
"By the way, General Yan, during the few months you have been on duty, has anything weird happened in this bank?"
Yan Jianqiu thought hard for a long time. The job of guarding the bank was boring and simple. What could be weird about it?
"It doesn't have to be something weird, it's okay if it's different from usual."
"Indeed not," Yan Jianqiu shook his head, "If it must be different from usual, it would probably be in February this year when a batch of green plants were planted in the bank."
"Green plants?!"
