"One thousand and two people, except for the wounds of different depths, all had their throats sealed with a knife?"
Lu Shaoze was a little surprised by the autopsy results.
He was not surprised that ten or eight people had their throats cut off with a knife.
One hundred and eighty sergeants would understand if they met a master.
But it would be a bit scary if more than a thousand people died with a knife closing their throats!
Mainly because the wounds vary in depth!
Knife masters, and the number of them varies.
Are there so many knife masters in Yuzhou Prefecture?
"Huh? A total of 3,760,000 taels of tax money was lost? That much?"
All this time, he never asked how much tax money he had.
But I have an idea in my mind.
I originally thought that with Yuzhou Prefecture, a state capital that does more than just farming, a tax bill of several hundred thousand taels would be enough.
Unexpectedly, there were more than three million taels?
This is not a small amount!
You know, his father's annual military salary of 100,000 Dingyuan troops is only 1.5 million taels.
Adding in grain, grass, etc., three million taels is enough to cover the expenses of a hundred thousand troops for a year!
No wonder His Majesty did not send the Criminal Department, but sent the White Tiger Guards to investigate the case.
He even gave himself a secret order to kill first and then show off.
Coupled with the secret order to suppress Yuzhou government officials, it can be seen that His Majesty is really angry this time!
"Where are the corpses of those soldiers now?" Lu Shaoze asked while flipping through the files.
And after reading it, he handed it to Guan Hai beside him.
"Your Majesty, the corpses of all the soldiers have been transported to the funeral chamber of Yuzhou Prefecture."
"Um!"
After getting the answer, Lu Shaoze put his forehead in thought and said nothing.
He was thinking, so much money was transported away, but not a single rut was left behind?
A box containing more than three million taels of silver is quite heavy.
It is definitely not an easy task to secretly transport so many boxes!
Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
If you robbed so much money, where would you go?
Officials are busy with people coming and going, so it is obviously not suitable for running away.
Then there are only dense forests or hills on both sides of the official road.
But if you can get these by yourself, the Yamen of Yuzhou Prefecture will definitely guess them.
But there is no clue!
Where will these people hide?
"Haha, a large number of thoughtful knife masters are quite interesting!"
With a secret thought in his heart, Lu Shaoze also closed the file.
Now that I don't have any clue, I can only wait and see if there is any useful news coming from the other side.
You can always find something by following the homing pigeons, right?
"Magistrate Ma, right?"
"In response to my lord's words, it is the lower official."
"Help me keep an eye on the horses while I go out for a walk."
Lu Shaoze gave an order, got up and left.
However, when he was about to leave the court, he dropped one sentence:
"Lord Guan, you can stay and get close to your colleagues."
"I obey your orders."
Seeing Lu Shaoze walking away, how could Guan Hai not understand his intentions?
Being close is fake, but letting yourself check these officials is real!
But Guan Hai is also willing to help with this kind of thing.
If there are really those who are corrupt and bending the law, it would be better to eliminate harm for the people, right?
…
the other side.
After Lu Shaoze left the house, he wandered aimlessly on the street.
It was late at night and there were not many pedestrians on the street.
Occasionally, a few drunkards stumbled onto the streets and quickly disappeared.
But there are also many brightly lit places.
For example, brothels, restaurants, gambling houses, etc.
Lu Shaoze has never been to the brothel, and he doesn't want to go.
It's not that he is a saint, but that in this era there are no protective measures and he is afraid of getting sick!
As for the restaurant, it's a good place to get information.
So after thinking about it, Lu walked straight to the gambling house!
The place where the tax money was robbed was on the official road of Yuzhu County, so the man in the dark would not be able to escape too far.
Go to the gambling house to try your luck, maybe you will get an unexpected reward?
After all, if you have money, you have to spend it! !
…
Chengnan Gambling House.
Although Lu Shaoze is young, he looks like a rich man in his rich clothes.
The people in the gambling house didn't make things difficult for him.
After all, such a fledgling chick will never cheat!
As soon as he entered the gambling house, Lu frowned.
There was no smoke inside, but the stench was really overwhelming.
Piles of shirtless men surrounded the banker, big and small, shouting.
Occasionally, a few women holding swords could be seen, and they were also shouting among them.
They are really children of the world, and they don’t stick to trivial matters!
Lu Shaoze came here for the first time and didn't plan to play. He just walked around and looked around.
It didn't take long for me to figure out how to play in the casino.
The gameplay in the gambling room is also very simple. One guesses the size of the dice, and the other just guesses the number of soybeans.
It's not much different from those scammers on the street.
Anyway, after looking around, what he saw most was the banker collecting money.
Very few people win money.
The losers leave dejectedly, but most of the winners will continue to bet, praying for a big kill.
But in the end, you will still lose your pants.
It can be seen that gambling is really harmful!
at this time.
After wandering around for a while, Lu finally attracted the attention of the gambling house.
A one-eyed dragon, guarded by two sturdy men, directly blocked Lu Shaoze's path.
"Sir, you've been here for so long, don't you want to play a little bit?"
"Not interested in."
He just came to see if he could meet an impatient fool who would pull out something unexpected.
But after a round, there were quite a lot of anxious people, and there was no trace of what he wanted to see.
Originally, Lu Shaoze was planning to leave this place and find a restaurant to have a meal.
But who would have thought that he would be stopped?
When the one-eyed dragon saw him like this, his smiling face suddenly turned cold.
"Young master, you can see, but there are some things that are better left tacitly understood, please~"
Perhaps because of Lu Shaoze's clothing, the one-eyed dragon was quite polite.
However, an eviction order was issued.
However, Lu suddenly thought of something, slipped his steps, and appeared next to the one-eyed dragon in an instant.
She grabbed his arm 'gently' and said with a smile:
"I want to meet your boss, is that okay?"
Sensing the huge strength of his arm, cold sweat suddenly broke out on the forehead of the one-eyed dragon.
He immediately nodded hurriedly.
At such a young age, he is still a master?
Facing such people, he would not dare to mess with them.
They open gambling houses just to make money.
If you don't have to, you won't attack anyone casually!
Of course, debt collection is another story.
that's all,
Lu Shaoze, led by One-Eyed Dragon, quickly arrived at the backyard of the gambling house.
But the place was deserted.
At this moment, the one-eyed dragon suddenly spoke:
"Chen Liu, I met the young master at the gambling house in the south of the lower city."
Chen Liuyi opened his mouth and revealed his identity.
He is the boss of the gambling house!
And Lu Shaoze was not surprised by this.
I randomly found a relatively clean chair and sat down on my own.
"Boss Chen, I will ask you a question next, do you understand?"
"Ah? You are?"
Chen Liu was really shocked when he heard the young man in front of him calling himself his own officer.
This bitch isn't here to catch me, is she? ?
