Lin Ye took this opportunity to return to Jin Sheng's study. At this time, the fire was already coming out of the window. After hesitating for a moment, he rushed in.
Based on Lin Ye's rough experience of hiding things, he didn't look at the bookshelf, the desk, or even stayed in the study for a moment.
He went straight to the back room, reached out and groped under Jin Shengwang's bed for a while, and then pulled out a heavy box.
At this time, he no longer cared about what was in the box and would wait until he moved it.
The fire in the back room was relatively small. Lin Ye kicked open the back window and jumped out. At this time, his ears were filled with shouts. He didn't look back and rushed directly over the courtyard wall.
This box was not as heavy as the stone statue of Feiyu Hall that he carried home before. He didn't see anyone chasing him from behind, so the journey was uneventful.
But Lin Ye was extra careful and took two more circles before returning home. All the way, he was thinking about where those men in black came from.
Their goal was to burn Jin Sheng and go to the study, which meant that there was something in the study that might threaten them.
Jumping in from the courtyard wall, Lao Chen and Zinai were both asleep, but Xiao Han was not.
But this little guy had very good ears, and he actually recognized that it was Lin Ye's voice. He didn't say a word, and even came up to him wagging his tail.
Lin Ye sat down in the living room with the box in his arms, lit the lamp, and then saw Xiao Zinai glaring at him.
She walked up to Lin Ye and took a closer look. When she saw that there was nothing strange about Lin Ye, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Ye opened the box, and the contents immediately lit up his eyes.
On top is a layer of pearls, each one as big as an egg and exceptionally round.
Zinai: "Our family really has no money?"
Lin Ye glanced at her.
Zinai said: "Grandpa said that no matter how difficult it is to raise children in our family, we can't use evil ways."
Lin Ye: "I'll throw it away after a while."
He took out the layer of pearls and put them aside. The lower layer was full of banknotes. This time, Lin Ye was also surprised.
Many of these banknotes are in denominations of 10,000 taels, which is the largest denomination of the Dayu Dynasty's exchangeable banknotes, and more are in the denominations of 1,000 taels and 5,000 taels. Based on a rough estimate, there are probably Hundreds of thousands of taels.
Master Jin has been in Yunzhou for ten years, and he doesn't know how much money he has embezzled. Just the things under the bed already make people feel a little outrageous.
The banknotes were worth hundreds of thousands of taels. Those egg-sized pearls were extremely regular in shape and crystal clear. Such a big one must be worth at least tens of thousands of taels.
Lin Ye opened the third floor and took a look. Compared with the pearls and banknotes, the things inside seemed ordinary.
A piece of iron plate, bare, with no pattern or words, but a strange shape, looking like an eagle with its wings spread.
Lin Ye picked up the iron sign and looked at it carefully, but couldn't see anything special.
On the third floor, which is also the last floor of the small box, apart from the iron plaque, there is only a layer of fine sand, which is a little dark in color.
Lin Ye poked with the iron plate and made a small hole in the fine sand. But soon, the fine sand flowed back automatically and the small hole subsided.
At this time, Lao Chen also came over with his clothes on. He probably hadn't slept well either. He got up when he heard Zinai talking.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw the pearls that were illuminated by the lights, and Lao Chen's eyes suddenly straightened.
"Are you robbing your family!? We can't do this kind of thing."
Lin Ye said: "No, I just...picked it up."
Lao Chen: "Do you believe it yourself?"
He walked over and took a look, and the brilliance of this layer of pearls made his eyes a little blurry.
"There are hundreds of taels of these things? Can you just pick them up casually?"
Lin Ye: "If a group of bad people go to another bad person's house to do bad things, and they throw away this box of things and I pick it up, does that count as doing bad things?"
Lao Chen: "Please hand it over to the official. I'll hand it over to the government office early tomorrow morning."
Lin Ye: "Then...it doesn't count as having sex with the public."
That should be considered as returning the property to the original owner, and handing it back openly. The original owner may not dare to ask for it, and may even say that Lin Ye was framed.
He consoled him: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, I will take care of it."
Lao Chen sighed, feeling that he seemed to be increasingly confused about Lin Ye now.
Just when he was about to persuade Lin Ye a few more words, the rapid sound of a gong suddenly came from outside, as if it struck directly into people's hearts.
Lao Chen immediately said: "You two, hurry up and I'll block the door."
He was about to rush out, Zinai sighed softly, and stretched out his hand helplessly to hold the corner of Lao Chen's clothes. Lao Chen was running there, but he didn't move an inch.
Zinai said: "I'm not arresting my brother."
She pointed outside with her other hand: "The gong has passed, and the message is that every house is closed and no one is allowed to go out."
Zinai looked at Lin Ye: "Brother, the group of bad people you mentioned went to another bad person's house to do bad things. They are not ordinary bad people, right?"
Lin Ye: "Yes."
At this moment, another rather strange sound was heard. Lin Ye listened for a moment and then walked towards the yard.
That is the bell of Tianshui Cliff.
Compared with the bells that rang not long ago because of banditry in Yunzhou City, it was a bit more urgent.
It was at this moment that someone on horseback galloped past the street, shouting while riding.
"All soldiers who are on leave should return to camp immediately!"
Zinai immediately grabbed Lin Ye's sleeve, and Lin Ye said, "Don't worry, I can't move yet."
Early the next morning, Mistress Lei Hongliu and Master Yan Xiniu arrived at Linye Xiaoyuan. They couldn't go out last night. If they could, they would have come last night.
They were worried that Lin Ye would rush back to Qi Barracks. When they saw Lin Ye sitting on the steps in a daze, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Um?"
Lei Hongliu suddenly thought of something: "Why don't you lie down on the bed and rest?"
Lin Ye said: "My strength has recovered a bit, so I don't have to lie down all the time."
He couldn't tell his wife about his visit to the government office for the time being. If he did, it would only make his wife a little more worried.
Yan Xiniu said: "A big thing happened last night. The government office was burned down. Although they were rescued in time, only a few rooms were lost, but... the prison was robbed."
Lin Ye remembered that the man in black said last night that he should rush to the prison as soon as possible to meet up. He did not follow because he could not clearly see the strength of the man in black.
Lin Ye is indeed brave, but he is not particularly stupid.
Being able to reach him in an instant, so fast yet so light on his feet, this kind of cultivation control is the strongest among the people Lin Ye has ever seen.
If the man hadn't regarded Lin Ye as his companion last night, he might not have been able to get away at that time.
"City Lord Bu Guxin is missing and many people in the prison were killed."
Lei Hongliu said: "Your aunt sent someone to tell us not to walk around on the streets. What happened this time is a bit outrageous."
Is this more than outrageous?
Since the founding of Dayu, such things have almost never happened. Burning government offices and robbing prisons are treason.
The Chaoxin Sect was so violent ten years ago, but it was not able to cause so much chaos in Yunzhou City, and it was not even able to make waves in Yunzhou City.
The Chaoxin Sect rebels and the Beiye Army fought fiercely, but they were retreating steadily because they did not have enough weapons and food.
But even so, Chaoxin Sect did not harass the people on a large scale. There were a few sporadic incidents of murder and arson, which were far inferior to what happened in Yunzhou City in the past few days.
But when the memorial was submitted to the imperial court ten years ago, that was not what was written in the memorial.
Speaking of which, if Chaoxin Sect had not developed too fast and thought it could ignore Shangyang Palace and kill the priests of Shangyang Palace, the outcome might have been slightly better.
Lei Hongliu said: "Your aunt was a little shocked this time. She said it was best not to open the martial arts hall and you don't go back to the contract camp."
Lin Ye nodded.
Such a big matter was not just a problem for the state government, but the Beiye Army had to announce that it would temporarily take over Yunzhou.
Jin Shengchang, the governor of the government, was taken into custody by the Beiye Army because of dereliction of duty. Beiye King Tuoba Lie personally took charge of the government office.
The charge announced temporarily was just dereliction of duty, which showed that King Kitano did not intend to put Jin Shengcheng to death yet.
I don’t know if this Mr. Jin is lucky or if he is just ridiculously lucky.
King Beiye declared martial law in the entire city of Yunzhou, and the Beiye Army began house-to-house searches.
At the same time, King Beiye asked people to post a notice in Yunzhou City, offering a reward of one hundred thousand taels of silver to anyone who could provide clues about the gangsters.
This may be the first time such a large reward has been offered since the founding of the Dayu Dynasty.
At that time, Yu Hanlin, a thief who committed dozens of major crimes in Dayu and wiped out more than a dozen families, was wanted by the court, and his reward was only thirty thousand taels.
King Kitano's notice also stated that anyone in the martial arts world in Yunzhou who could capture the murderer could receive the honorary post of general of the contract army and be promoted to the fifth rank.
You can not join the contracted military camp, but only receive a military position and salary, and you can also receive a reward of 100,000 taels of silver, and several expensive aircraft.
At this time, the entire Yunzhou world was in chaos.
In just three days, news came out that the gangsters who had robbed the prison had taken the city lord Bu Guxin and hid in the ghost market, and someone in the ghost market provided shelter.
I don’t know whether this news is true or not, but from the day the news came out, countless Jianghu people broke into the ghost market at night.
That night, the unknown strong man guarding the Earth Gate fought to the death for a full hour on his own, killing hundreds of warriors.
It is said that he was an old man in his seventies. He was surrounded and killed after exhaustion. His body was chopped up with knives.
Then countless Jianghu people poured into the ghost market, including the masters of Wangxiangtai.
Because according to various signs, the gangsters who attacked Wangxiangtai were the same group of people who attacked the government office and the prison.
Wangxiangtai took the lead, and all major forces in the arena were unwilling to lag behind. Except for Jade Bird Tower, which did not send anyone to participate in the battle, almost all forces mobilized their manpower.
The ghost market that had existed underground in Yunzhou for countless years was breached. Later, the Beiye Army sealed the gate and no one was allowed to approach.
But some people saw the corpses taken out of the underground palace being transported away in trucks.
The mysterious owner of the ghost market never showed up. He probably knew that it would be difficult to turn the tide this time.
The common people did not understand the significance of this mighty Jianghu war, nor did they know how many people had died.
But the common people knew about such a thing and remembered the names of several people.
Jiang Qiuse, a disciple of the Yan Family Martial Arts School, after breaking into the ghost market, killed dozens of bandits and captured the bandit leader alive and handed him over to the government.
Another man named Luo Shenfu captured the city lord Bu Guxin who was hiding in the ghost market.
The gangsters who killed people in the slums, destroyed the Cui family, attacked the government offices, and stormed the prison were all under the command of the city lord Bu Guxin.
Their purpose in creating chaos was to rescue Bu Guxin, but they were all killed in the end, and Bu Guxin was imprisoned again.
From this day on, the world of Yunzhou City will probably remember these two people forever.
The autumn color of the river is the gift of Luo Shen.
Not only was he rewarded by King Kitano, but he also had to be personally received by the Priest of Shangyang Palace.
These two people are like two big stars rising in the rivers and lakes of Yunzhou City.
Sparkling.
