At night.
Under the moonlit night sky with sparse stars, the bonfire crackled.
Lu Shaoze squatted on the green grass, pulling on the fire, and Fuji stood behind him.
Opposite him was the silent Guan Hai.
Lu was not in a hurry to go to the place where the tax money was robbed.
That place is the official road leading from Yuzhu County to Ningyuan County.
He has never been exposed to such things as investigating crimes, so he is the kind of person who knows nothing about it.
But someone like Lu will think differently!
If he robbed the tax money, even if he didn't expose his fault, he would definitely not dare to spend it for the time being.
In addition, the taxed silver has the official mark, so the only option is to smelt it and recast it.
But if that happens, it will take a long time.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the thief will definitely choose a secret place to hide temporarily!
There will also be some spies on the road to observe the court's movements!
After the news has passed, I will look for other plans.
This is also the reason why Mr. Lu has taken the official road along the way and has never stopped encountering the city!
If the White Tiger Guards are more eager on their way, the man in the dark will be more worried.
People,
If you are anxious, you will make mistakes, and it will be easier for you to show your flaws!
As for asking many White Tiger Guards to go to those counties to investigate in a big way, it is nothing more than a psychological hint.
Whether it has any specific effect varies from person to person!
He, Lu, really couldn't be sure about this matter! !
Holding a branch to stir up the fire, Lu Shaoze seemed to mention casually:
"Master Guan, what do you think about the tax issue?"
"I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I have no idea at the moment."
"I...want to...hear...the truth!" Lu Shaoze stared at Guan Hai playfully and said word by word.
Guan Hai has been in charge of the White Tiger Guard for ten years, and it is impossible for him to have no ideas.
Did he not want to say it?
Or maybe you can’t figure out your own temperament and dare not speak out?
Seeing Lu Shaoze looking directly at him, Guan Hai felt helpless.
Investigating the case is an errand entrusted to Lu Shaoze by His Majesty.
He didn't want to rob or argue, and he didn't want to offend Lu Shaoze because he said the wrong thing!
But Mr. Lu is like this now, and I'm afraid it won't work if I don't tell him.
So after thinking again and again, Guan Hai finally spoke.
"Master Lu, I do have some thoughts in my mind, but they are just my humble opinions. I hope they can be helpful to you."
Lu Shaoze nodded, and Guan Hai continued:
"Yuzhou is not like Quanzhou. Quanzhou has an inland sea and a developed fishery."
"It's not like other state capitals, which have minerals, silk, etc. What Yuzhou has is fertile farmland!"
"It is precisely because Yuzhou has few resources that there are no famous factions stationed here."
"It is said that as far as I know, the most powerful martial arts sect in Yuzhou Prefecture is Chu Yu Pavilion."
"But Chuyuge doesn't have the strength to take down a thousand officers and soldiers in one fell swoop!"
Having said this, Guan Hai stopped, picked up a burning branch, and wrote a word on the ground.
official!
"Official?" Lu Shaoze frowned and whispered.
"Exactly, I feel that the Yuzhou government officials are more likely to commit theft themselves!"
Of course, Guan Hai didn't know which yamen in Yuzhou Prefecture had the problem.
But Lu Shaoze did not agree with what Guan Hai said.
Even the Jianghu forces in Yuzhou Prefecture could not capture the escorting army of thousands, so how could the government do it?
Unless it's the Yuzhou Prefectural Army!
But it shouldn't be possible.
After all, it has only been ten years since Dakang established the country through force.
The armies of the eighteen states in this world are extremely loyal to the royal family.
How could he risk the disapproval of the world and rob the imperial court of tax money?
But if you are not an official or a martial arts sect, you can't be a bandit, right?
As soon as this idea came up, Lu Shaoze quickly threw it out of his mind.
As the saying goes, the ten years since the founding of Dakang is the time to develop people's livelihood.
The green forests in the world have been recruited and destroyed. How can they dare to come out and jump around?
You know, this is not a TV show. Just a few bandits can defeat an army of thousands of people!
However, although Mr. Lu disagreed with Guan Hai’s idea, he still praised him:
"What Mr. Guan said today opened a window for Lu."
"After the matter is over, I will report to Your Majesty to ask for credit!"
Guan Hai:? ?
Just say it casually, Mr. Lu won’t really follow this, right?
What if what I say is wrong and leads Mr. Lu into a ditch?
"Master Lu, in fact, this is just a low-ranking official's guess. There is no way to estimate it. We need to conduct multiple investigations before we can draw a conclusion." Guan Hai said anxiously.
He didn't want to end up being dragged out to take the blame because the case wasn't solved.
At the same time, I was secretly regretting, why didn’t I hold on just now?
Phew~
I hope Mr. Lu won’t trick anyone!
However, when Lu Shaoze heard this, he just casually ordered:
"It's getting late, Mr. Guan, please rest early."
After saying that, he walked to a big tree by himself and began to take a nap.
In fact, when he separated out the White Tiger Guards and left Guan Hai alone, Lu already had a plan in mind.
Guan Hai is a person who is related to whether he can live a peaceful life again after returning to Beijing.
You have to be nicer to him in the future~
After Guan Hai saw Lu Shaoze closing his eyes and glanced at Fu Er, he stayed by the bonfire.
Mr. Lu is a human being that he cannot see through, but the young man in front of him has a cultivation level that he cannot see through!
He has a master who is a mid-level master, but he can't see through a young man's cultivation?
Where did this guy come from?
How did you get to Lu Mansion?
"It seems that news about this person needs to be notified to the superiors as soon as possible!"
The forest at night is not peaceful.
The roar of animals and the chirping of insects make it difficult for people to fall asleep.
But for Mr. Lu, this is nothing at all.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I quickly fell asleep. .
A night of silence.
…
The next day.
Along with the chirping of birds, Lu Shaoze opened his eyes.
He stretched sleepily, then simply rinsed his mouth, and then waved Guan Hai and the two on their way.
Today, he was going to visit the place where tax money was robbed.
See if you can find any clues?
He, Mr. Lu, didn't believe it. How could he transport the broken silver without anyone noticing?
At this moment, Fuji suddenly came over with two carrier pigeons and said:
"Master, I discovered it by accident last night."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Lu Shaoze and Guan Hai instantly fell on him.
Looking at the fluttering homing pigeon, the two of them had different expressions.
Lu Shaoze raised his eyebrows and took off the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, while Guan Hai stared at Fuji.
Can a carrier pigeon be captured alive?
How high is Qing Gong?
It is not difficult to kill a homing pigeon or render it incapable of flying.
He Guan Hai can do it easily!
But if he were to be caught by force, then Qinggong would be a bit outrageous!
At this time.
Lu Shaoze also opened one of the bamboo tubes and poured out a letter.
The content of the letter was written to a family named Zian and had nothing to do with them.
But when he saw the second letter, the corners of Lu's mouth couldn't help but turn up a little. .
