The night was dark and the moon was shining brightly.
On the quiet and deserted street, a carriage moved forward slowly, and finally arrived in front of a large courtyard.
At the door of the other courtyard, four soldiers immediately clenched their hands and were about to ask. At this moment, a skinny hand stretched out, holding a bronze medal. With just a slight shake, Just took it back.
The expressions of the four palace soldiers suddenly became solemn, they looked at each other, and finally got out of the way at the same time, and someone pushed open a door to the palace.
Immediately, the carriage drove in, the palace door was closed again, and the four palace soldiers once again guarded the door, saying nothing and motionless.
It's like no one has ever entered.
After entering the courtyard three times, the carriage stopped.
A man wearing a black hat got out of the car. He glanced around. Everything was as quiet as before.
His eyes fell on the corner on one side, and there seemed to be nothing in the darkness.
The man in the black hat took out the copper token from his arms without hesitation and shouted: "I have been ordered to inspect, leave immediately."
A black figure walked out of the darkness, then raised his hand to the man in the black hat, and then left without hesitation, without any questioning.
The man in the black hat stepped forward and completely locked the door to the third courtyard, and then he completely relaxed.
Taking off the hat, the face of the man in black was completely revealed.
With a thin face and trance-like eyes, this man was clearly the bad guy Lu Lin who betrayed He Chang before the battle.
No one knows how he was released from prison, and no one knows what kind of token he is holding in his hand, which can actually allow him to go in and out as if it were nothing.
After making sure that there was no one in the whole yard, Lu Lin walked to a certain wing in a remote corner. With a squeeze of his hand, the door lock of the wing was immediately broken. Then, he opened the door and walked in.
This is a very ordinary room. It originally contained a lot of furniture, but now it has completely disappeared and was completely looted.
Lu Lin closed the door again, without turning on the light, and walked directly to the west wall. He pressed the palm of his right hand on the center of the wall, then applied a little force, and after pressing the palm three times regularly, a small hole immediately slid open on the wall in front of him. Door.
In the center of the wall, neither above nor below, a threshold blocks the center.
Lu Lin stepped in without any strangeness, and immediately, a small room appeared in front of him.
Lu Lin stood at the door, listening to what was going on outside and observing the entire room.
This room is indeed not big, because it is actually divided and pieced together from two small rooms.
The two small rooms were originally part of the two outside rooms, but they were deliberately divided and then hidden using clever visual techniques.
Finally, the two rooms were combined to form what is now a secret room.
From the outside, there is no trace of the existence of this secret room.
A spark lit up. Lu Lin held a fire stick and looked at the pile of wooden boxes in front of him. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Without any hesitation, Lu Lin immediately began to move the boxes until the entire carriage was filled, with nearly half of the boxes still in the room.
Lu Lin sneered and turned around without hesitation.
Close the secret room again and cover it up.
When Lu Lin went out, he even locked the door with a new lock. Z.br>
Lu Lin picked up the old lock on the ground and sat back in the carriage.
Sitting on the carriage, Lu Lin shrank slightly. The carriage was so full of boxes that he almost couldn't sit on it.
After gently patting the horse's butt, the tall horse immediately started to move forward, slowly walking towards the courtyard gate, not very fast.
After a while, the black-clothed secret sentry returned to the courtyard. He didn't care what Lu Lin had taken. He didn't check at all. He just stood quietly in the corner.
In the dark night, the carriage moved quickly toward
Walking northwest, we soon came under the west gate.
The west gate is closed tightly, and all the soldiers who were originally guarding here have disappeared, which is extremely strange.
Lu Lin stopped his horse and got out of the car, then stood respectfully beside the car, facing the door: "Join the army, I brought the things!"
"Is everything here?" A sharp figure walked out of the doorway, wearing a light green silk robe, a black gauze hat, and a sinister look in his eyes. This person was Cao Canjun, the governor of Yangzhou. Shen Zhuang.
The bad guy Lu Lin bowed his hands solemnly to Hucao Junjun, then turned around and opened the curtain, saying: "They are all here. These are the monthly payments that were supposed to be distributed from time to time, but now they are exactly the same." it's here."
As he spoke, Lu Lin took out another account book and handed it over, and at the same time said respectfully: "This is the only thing that my subordinates can access. As for the others, they have been distributed to me through various methods before. In the hands of everyone."
Shen Zhuang nodded, stepped forward without looking at the account book in Lu Lin's hand, and then pulled down the box on the edge.
In front of Lu Lin, Shen Zhuang opened the box directly, and then a burst of golden light dazzled him.
What appeared in front of Shen Zhuang and Lu Lin was a box full of copper coins.
Incomparably brand-new copper coins, the entire carriage is covered with such brand-new copper coins.
"These things are indeed made lifelike, with exquisite patterns and appropriate thickness." Shen Zhuang picked up one from inside, placed it under the moonlight, looked at it carefully, and said with emotion: "I don't know who made the money mold. In such a simple workshop, it is possible to produce such lifelike bad money."
All the bad money that Shen Zhuang has in his hands now is actually bad money, and all of this bad money was taken out by Lu Lin from the secret room of He Chang, the leader of the Cao Gang's General Affairs Hall, and was going to be distributed to the Cao Gang's gang members. Monthly money example money.
In addition to this, there was more bad money that was distributed to their gang members through Caogang channels.
Later, it was distributed to countless people throughout Yangzhou through these gangs.
No one knows how much such bad money exists in Yangzhou today.
"It is said that he is a certain master craftsman under the general manager of Tianyin Sect's outer court. It is rumored that he also served in the Ministry of Works and as a general supervisor. As for the others, his subordinates are incompetent and cannot investigate." Lu Lin handed over his hand, his face full of guilt. .
"It doesn't matter, you have already made a great contribution by being able to detect these things... Don't worry, I will help you put in a good word in front of Sima this time and remove him from the bad guys." Shen Zhuang said casually, Then focus on the bad money in front of you.
"Thank you for joining the army!" Lu Lin saluted Shen Zhuang respectfully, and then said with a wink, "Join the army first, take your leave!"
"Go." Shen Zhuang waved his hand carelessly, not even looking at Lu Lin.
Lu Lin sighed slightly, then cupped his hands, took two steps back, and turned to leave.
The moment Lu Lin turned around, Shen Zhuang, who had originally focused all his attention on the evil money, turned cold and raised his right hand fiercely. The next moment, a cold and sharp dagger silently appeared in his hand...
"Fourth!" A cold shout suddenly came from the side, and Shen Zhuang's expression changed slightly.
With a flip of his hand, the dagger disappeared instantly.
Lu Lin, who was about to leave, immediately stopped and turned to look at the deep shadow of the city wall on the side.
I saw a figure wearing white thick clothes, with a stern face, a silver hairpin on his head, and a thin face that looked very much like Shen Zhuang, walking out of the shadows.
"I've met Mr. Yu Qing!" Lu Lin immediately raised his hands seriously to the visitor with a solemn expression.
"Second brother!" When Shen Zhuang saw Shen Yuqing, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, but he still bowed and saluted.
Shen Yuqing didn't even look at Shen Zhuang. He nodded gently to Lu Lin and said, "Brother Lu Xian, please go back first. I will handle your matter personally and I will never let Ping take this risk in vain."
"Thank you, sir!" Lu Lin let out a long sigh of relief. Shen Yuqing's reputation was much better than that of his younger brother.
After finishing speaking, Lu Lin faced the two brothers Shen Yuqing and Shen Zhuang at the same time.
He handed over his hand, then took five steps back, turned around and left.
Shen Yuqing took a deep look at Lu Lin until he completely left, then turned to look at Shen Zhuang and asked in an unceremonious cold voice: "What are you doing, Fourth Brother? You don't want your life."
"Second brother, he knows too much." Shen Zhuang's face was gloomy and he looked towards the direction where Lu Lin disappeared.
"Do you think that by killing him tonight, you can prevent the news from leaking out? Do you really think that you two are the only ones who know the details of this matter tonight?" Shen Yuqing showed an embarrassed sneer on his face, and then looked at On the dark street in the distance.
Sensing Shen Yuqing's gaze, Shen Zhuang's expression immediately changed and he looked coldly into the depths of the street.
The street was deep, the breeze was blowing, and it even brought an inexplicable chill. At this moment, a voice sounded.
"I have never understood why Shen Canjun was so presumptuous that he barged into the reception banquet prepared by other families in Yangzhou for me. I also really don't understand why other families in Yangzhou have deliberately distanced themselves from the Shen family in recent years. distance. Now everything is clear. It was originally for those things. Who was casting bad money in Yangzhou? Now everything is clear."
Li Xuan said, walking out of the dark street step by step, looking at Shen Yuqing and Shen Zhuang with cold expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty, did you come alone today?"
