"Sir, this is a bit against the rules, don't you think?"
As Yang Wanli spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes and handed them over.
The things in the box were really too valuable and he didn't dare to risk them!
At the same time, I also hope that Guan Hai can show mercy.
But Guan Hai not only refused to accept the banknote, but also sneered:
"Bringing a court official? Xiaoxiantian, you are so brave!"
"My lord, this is an injustice. Yang didn't mean that~"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll give you one last chance to open the box!"
Qiang~
As soon as he finished speaking, the scimitar at his waist was unsheathed.
When Yang Wanli saw this, how dare he hesitate?
He immediately waved his hands and shouted:
"Unboxing!"
He can't afford to offend the White Tiger Guard!
The bodyguard under his command got the order and opened the box with three clicks, five divided by two.
As soon as the box was opened, all the escorts were stunned on the spot without exception.
And there was something called greed in his eyes!
Guan Hai stepped forward with doubts and took a look. Except for some books and account books, everything he saw were jewelry, or gold and silver.
That number adds up to a million at least.
Although Guan Hai has deep concentration, he is also a little confused at the moment.
So many belongings? ?
At this time.
Yang Wanli, who was worried, had no choice but to step forward and explain:
"Sir, what we are waiting for are escorts from the Li family in Yuzhou."
"The Li family has been losing money in business in Yuzhou Prefecture for many years, so they want to go to Ganzhou to develop. There should be no problem, right?"
Facing Yang Wanli's explanation, Guan Hai didn't reply, but just put his hand on the gold and silver.
Then the fingers exerted force and were inserted directly into the bottom of the box.
That box full of gold and silver with no gaps, was he able to find the bottom in an instant?
Then I wonder what Guan Hai touched?
His face gradually turned colder.
That look made Yang Wanli tremble with fear!
what's up?
Could it be that the majestic White Tiger Guard still wants to rob it by force?
However, at this moment, Guan Hai stretched out his hand from the box, and at the same time there was a ten-tael silver ingot in his hand!
Under the silver ingot, there is a large word "official" engraved on it.
Guan Hai really didn't expect that he would find something like tax money in the box of an escort team?
I don’t know if there are any in other boxes?
And could the Li family that Yang Wanli mentioned be the mastermind behind this robbery?
call!
"Miss Yang, can you recognize this thing?"
"ah?"
Yang Wanli looked at the silver ingot in Guan Hai's hand and was dumbfounded!
How could he not hear about Yuzhou Prefecture's tax money being robbed?
But my special job is to take a escort, so how come there is extra tax money in the escort?
Damn it, someone must be plotting against me!
Thinking of this, Yang Wanli hurriedly said:
"Yang is just an escort. My boss paid me to take over the job. I really don't know about this. I hope you will investigate!"
"I didn't say it was you. I brought someone with me back to Ningyuan County. If you dare to play tricks, haha~"
After Guan Hai finished speaking, he slashed the scimitar in his hand instantly, and a big tree broke in the distance.
This is a threat!
In fact, Yang Wanli would cooperate without Guan Hai's threats.
After all, it was a matter of customs and banking. How could he dare to go against the imperial court with his little talent?
In this way, under the leadership of Guan Hai, the escort team returned straight to Ningyuan County. .
…
the other side.
Lu Shaoze and his party also arrived at Xiaozhu Village.
Xiaozhu Village is not big, with only a few dozen households in total.
As soon as we entered the village, we could hear the cries of children in the village.
The cries were desolate, sad and angry, one after another.
Following the cry, everyone arrived at a bamboo courtyard not long after.
The yard and the house are all made of bamboo, and are very orderly and clean.
Looking around, the courtyard was already surrounded by people.
There was no mourning hall, straw mat, two white wax sheets, not even a coffin.
The deceased was wrapped in a straw mat and lying on the square table. Under the table, there was a crying seven or eight-year-old child with runny nose!
"Give me, the government is handling the case, give me~"
As the policeman's voice sounded, the people in the courtyard also discovered Lu Shaoze and these uninvited guests.
"Why is there someone from the government? Who reported it to the government?"
"No, everyone in the village is here, who is going to report to the official?"
"It's weird~"
"..."
The villagers were noisy but obediently gave way to the road.
Immediately afterwards, a trembling old man with gray hair appeared in front of the crowd.
"Normally Futian in Xiaozhu Village, I have met all of you. I wonder if you are here, are you busy?"
The moment the old man appeared, an inexplicable smile appeared on Lu Shaoze's lips.
This old man is not simple!
When he first appeared, there was clearly a trace of panic in his cloudy eyes.
But he quickly hid it!
An old man with a haggard face and no martial arts skills is still the leader of the village. Why would he panic when he saw an official?
Haha~
"Chang Lizheng, who is the deceased?"
"Chang Asan is a widower."
"Widower? Have you reported it to the official?"
"Ah? The little old man doesn't understand what you mean?"
Li Zheng's cloudy eyes widened, as if he really didn't understand what Lu Shaoze meant.
But unfortunately, Lu Shaoze did not explain it, he just waved his hand and said:
"Autopsy."
"Yes!" The leader of the team, the policeman Wang Dutou, responded and quickly got into the mourning hall.
The villagers did not cause any trouble during the whole process, and just watched quietly.
But just when Mr. Wang was about to touch the straw mat, the child on the ground jumped up and pounced on him.
He was still shouting:
"Don't touch my daddy, you are not allowed to touch my daddy...ah~"
Seeing this, Lu Shaoze immediately waved his hand again.
Then another police officer stepped forward to stop the child, and Wang Captou then freed his hand to open the straw mat.
When the straw mat was opened, a stench suddenly hit my face.
The smell made Lu Shaoze, who was so far away, almost spit out his overnight meal!
Not long after, Wang Captou covered himself with the straw mat again, and then stepped forward to report:
"Lord Qi, the whole body is black, and there are traces of dirty blood in the seven orifices. He must have died of poisoning!"
Lu Shaoze knew the cause of death of the corpse.
Such behavior is just for show!
When Wang Captou finished speaking, he stared at Chang Lizheng and asked coldly:
"I'd like to ask Li Zheng, why didn't the body be reported to the official if the body was poisoned?"
"Ahem... How can we, the people in the mountains, understand this? Please be aware of this, sir!"
"Oh? As an upright person, you don't know that it is written in our law that all deaths without cause must be reported to the government?"
Satozheng shook his head blankly, looking like he really didn't know.
If Lu Shaoze hadn't been impressed by the look in his eyes when they first met, he might have believed him.
But now, if this guy’s secret is not revealed, his surname, Lu Shaoze, will not be Lu!
"Chang Lizheng, could you please pick up the document and tell me who wiped the body of the deceased?"
"Okay, little old man, let's go now. The other body of Ah San was wiped by Tie Wa, that child."
Li Zheng pointed at the little boy inside the house, and then walked out of the courtyard with the help of the villagers.
At the same time, Wang Captou also followed. .
