It was almost noon when Li Bin walked over slowly.
He walked to the door of the hall, a smile appeared on his originally expressionless face, and then stepped into the hall: "Oh my, I am really busy with military affairs today. Look, I have made you wait for so long. . Come, let’s have lunch together first, and then we’ll set off.”
After lunch, Li Bincai followed Dong Youcai with a team of one hundred people.
Li Bin was not in a hurry and walked slowly on his horse, seemingly enjoying the scenery while walking.
Dong Youcai walked side by side with him.
Li Bin looked at Dong Youcai and said with a smile: "Brother, please don't worry, I, Mr. Li, are in such a hurry. Why are you in such a hurry? Wherever the supplies are, they won't run away. Moreover, the master has asked us to stay dormant for the time being and not take any action." .In fact, I feel relieved to have this material with you.
Dong Youcai also said with a smile: "Sir, I am only responsible for hoarding money and food for the army. Now that I have prepared it, I naturally have to hand it over to you, not to mention that your place has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is safer than mine." A lot. Unlike me, I can only try to hide things everywhere."
"Oh, that's it. Has anything happened in Mr. Dong's house recently?"
When Dong Youcai heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing, it's just that brat named Lin who is not very obedient."
"Oh, how's it going now?"
He embezzled huge amounts of money, and the evidence was conclusive, and he committed suicide a month ago. "
"This is naturally good, haha. Mr. Dong is smart! This Yizhou City is so stable, and there is not even a hint of news." Then he stroked his beard and looked at Dong Youcai sideways, "I heard that Mr. Dong's house has been in trouble recently. I have raised a singer, she is very pretty, I must let you see her if you have the chance!"
Dong Youcai looked at Li Bin and forced a smile, "Of course, of course."
The two chatted awkwardly with each other all the way...
Just after the end of the day, they came to the foot of a big mountain. They did not go to Lujing Village, but took a detour directly to the place where Cang Qiyuan and the others saw the Orion before.
"Master Li, we have to dismount and walk through this section." Dong Youcai dismounted and said to Li Bin.
Li Bin dismounted and said, "This place Master Dong has found is really wonderful!"
"Thank you, thank you, please!"
Dong Youcai and his guards led the way, and soon they arrived at the stone bridge.
When he reached the break, Dong Youcai took out a whistle from his arms, blew it a few times, and then said with a smile: "Master Li, wait a moment, someone will come to build the bridge soon."
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no one. Dong Youcai blew a few more times, but still no one answered. Suddenly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. Could something have happened?
He quickly asked the two guards with the best martial arts around him to try flying over with Qinggong.
The guard took a few steps back, took a running start, and barely managed to jump over. He felt the cold sweat from fear and hurriedly moved the iron plate.
The iron plate was too heavy, and the two guards spent a lot of effort to move it over. They pushed it here and connected it there, and finally built the bridge.
After finally crossing the bridge, everyone came to the cave where the supplies were hidden.
Just as he was about to walk in, the soldiers who were investigating in front hurried over: "Sir, something happened in front." When Dong Youcai heard this, he was startled and hurried forward.
Li Bin stood behind, looking at Dong Youcai with squinted eyes, and then followed him unsteadily.
Dong Youcai ran over and saw several people lying on the ground. He was also anxious and quickly helped someone on the ground up, "Dong Er, Dong Er, what's going on?" This Dong Er was the younger brother of his housekeeper and was very loyal to him, so he was Sent to the mountains to look after supplies.
However, no matter how hard I shake him, he doesn't wake up. Li Bin came over, knelt down and took a closer look, and said, "She must have been drugged."
Putting down Dong Er, Dong Youcai rushed into the cave and came to the place where the supplies were hidden. He found two guards lying at the door. He immediately took out the key to unlock the door, but found that it was empty and there was nothing inside. He sat down in shock. on the ground.
Li Bin was shocked when he saw that there was nothing inside. Then he squinted at Dong Youcai on the ground and suddenly shouted loudly: "You Dong Youcai, how dare you embezzle supplies."
Dong Youcai immediately stood up and defended loudly: "I didn't, I really didn't."
"Hmph, you didn't tell me where you hid the supplies before, so I doubted you. As expected, where did you hide the supplies?"
"I really don't have any, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you here to look for supplies myself."
"Now that the thing is gone, it's useless to say anything. Someone, get him for me!"
The guards around Dong Youcai stepped forward to stop him.
"Hmph, do you think you can stop me?" After saying this, he waved his hand and his soldiers raised their bows and arrows.
Dong Youcai's guards also panicked and looked at each other without daring to step forward.
"If you don't want to become a sieve, just put down the knife in your hand."
The guards did not dare to resist and put down their weapons one after another.
"Take them all back and examine them carefully." Then he looked at Dong Youcai: "Master Dong, no one can help you with this matter. I will write to the master immediately. You just wait for the master's response!"
On the other side, Cang Qiyuan and Chang Siguo quickly returned to Guangtong Bank.
Cang Dao and Cang Qiang also brought back the account book.
They followed Lin Keqi to a very remote farmer's home. Here they found an old man. He is a fellow villager of Master Lin, and he once received help from Master Lin. Because he was alone, Master Lin took him in.
Later, when he took office in Yizhou, Mr. Lin saw that Yizhou's officialdom was complicated and the situation was unclear, so he bought him a small house in a remote place and let him stay here. At that time, I was thinking that if something happened, someone would go out and report it. Later, Master Lin made a copy of the account book and sent it to him quietly, preparing for the worst.
When the old man saw that Lin Keqi knew what happened to the Lin family, he cried bitterly and took out the account book tremblingly.
Cang Qiyuan opened the account book and saw a series of accounts recorded in it, mostly for food and ironware, and some other contents.
Governor Lin is an extremely conscientious and cautious person. He discovered the problem two years ago, but the officialdom here is so colluding that he is weak and can only investigate in secret with his son.
They didn't want their actions to be discovered and their family to be ruined.
Cang Qiyuan and Chang Siguo were also very angry. Lin Keqi cried uncontrollably. Chang Sile could already get out of bed. He was only taken into the space by Cang Qiyuan at night. He slowly moved to Lin Keqi's side and comforted him: "The deceased is gone. What we have to do now is to rectify Yizhou's officialdom. We will not let your father and brother die in vain."
