Chapter 178

The baling sect has been inherited for many years and has a rich family background. Although it is in the steep mountains, the hall is still magnificent.

The so big hall was empty. Only Guo fan sat on the stone seat in the middle.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, like thinking, like thinking, his breath surging, and the true meaning of the tiger loomed and appeared from time to time.

This place is broad and the stone seat is huge.

In contrast, Guo fan is short and insignificant.

But when the real intention comes up, the fierce power is surging, like a fierce tiger entrenched in it, with terrible power.

The contraction of mind is like a tiger stinging and sleeping.

Obviously, he is short. As soon as he enters the hall, his eyes will be involuntarily attracted by him.

The luxurious decoration and exquisite furnishings in the hall have become the foil of Guo fan at this moment.

Dao Yi!

This world lacks natural materials and earth treasures, and there is no kind of magic medicine that can return to nature after eating.

Therefore, the advanced nature depends on its own strength.

Every innate master's mind is strong enough to stimulate essential changes in Qi and blood in the body.

Guo fan knew the meaning of tiger sword early, but he didn't know much about it.

This time a fight, but there are many feelings, vaguely some obstacles.

Sure enough, as he thought.

Cutting is the key to your breakthrough!

"Dada..."

Xia Houyan bowed into the hall, breathing subconsciously, and her face showed caution.

Although the young people sitting in the hall have beautiful faces, like the elegant young master in the turbid world.

But she has seen each other's means.

Cruel, bloody, murderous, and there is no fluctuation from beginning to end.

Even with a share of enjoyment!

This guy

Born with a good skin bag, in fact, I'm afraid I'm a super abnormal murderer!

The top expert of Baling sect was slaughtered by one of them!

At this time, looking up, it seems that the person sitting in the hall is not a person, but a bloodthirsty tiger.

"Hou Ye."

"Yes."

Guo fan looked up and opened his eyes.

Xia Houyan also stretched her tight body: "the materials of Baling sect have been counted, including 300000 liang of silver, 50000 liang of gold, a number of precious jade, and some house deeds and land deeds."

"Three hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Guo fan's eyes moved slightly and said in a slow voice, "it's just the cut official silver. It seems that it's already 400002?"

"Yes."

Xia Houyan nodded and said, "but only 200000 liang of official silver were found here, and the other 200000 Liang were prepaid silver tickets of Longsheng chamber of Commerce."

Prepayment refers to things that have not been successfully delivered, similar to civil IOUs.

"Longsheng chamber of Commerce?"

Guo fan straightened up and his voice became serious: "Longsheng chamber of Commerce, one of the eight gangs and ten associations?"

"Good."

Xia Houyan should be.

"Longsheng chamber of Commerce started with silk and cloth, and almost all royal cloth dyeing, military uniforms and court uniforms are contracted by the chamber of Commerce."

"Behind it, there is the shadow of Yingchuan Liu family, which is one of the four families in the dynasty."

"Oh..."

Guo fan smiled and squinted at Xia Houyan: "do you mean that Longsheng chamber of commerce also participated in the robbery of official silver?"

"I dare not make a decision."

Xia Houyan shook her head: "but they robbed the official bank. The subsequent handling must have the participation of Longsheng chamber of Commerce."

There are marks on the official silver, which is very inconvenient to circulate in the market, so it needs to be remelted.

There are not many people in the world who have such means and the courage to eat so much silver.

"I see."

Guo fan nodded and tapped the table with one hand, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Dada..."

At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall, thunder, wind and fire.

"Lord Hou, there is news on the other two roads."

"Oh."

Guo fan raised his eyebrows and said, "say!"

Look at Lei Sihai's expression, you know it's not all good news.

Sure enough

"Huo family castle is going well. The Ding brothers killed the three Huo brothers and found 100000 liang of silver."

"And the stone is not empty of silver..."

He clasped his fist, frowned and said, "the ship turned halfway to Yuyang County, and then disappeared."

"Yuyang county?"

Guo fan holds his chin and gently rubs it.

"I seem to remember that it is famous for washing cloth and weaving all over the world. Three Chengdu come from Yuyang."

"Good."

Lei Sihai complimented: "Lord Hou is well-informed and respected for his humble position."

Guo fan ignored his flattery and looked at Xia Houyan: "it's the territory of Longsheng chamber of Commerce?"

"To be exact."

Xia Houyan's throat rolled, subconsciously feeling bad in her heart, but she still hardened her scalp and opened her mouth.

"Yuyang county is where Longsheng chamber of commerce is located."

"I see!"

Guo fan knows.

"What did the officials of Yuyang County say?"

Feng Zheng and Quan Chi are both old people from the East and West factories. Their means are not weak. It is impossible to trace them there. This is the end. They will certainly continue to trace them.

"They don't recognize it!"

Lei Sihai looked gloomy and said, "the status of Yuyang county is different. Lord Ge, the county government, is a rising star in the dynasty in recent years. Feng Zheng is not good and too forced by the two old ladies."

"Tut tut......"

Guo fan shook his head and looked at Xia Houyan: "can you take down Longsheng chamber of Commerce for the evidence here?"

"Take the chamber of Commerce?"

Xia Houyan looked up and was surprised: "Lord Hou, Longsheng chamber of commerce is different from baling school. It has countless ties with the imperial court. According to his subordinates, many officials are the owners of the chamber of Commerce."

"Among them, there is Yingchuan Liujia!"

Once you start fighting against this kind of force, the counterattack you face is not as simple as the Jianghu.

Although the right competition does not see blood, it is more dangerous. One careless may fall into the abyss and even involve the whole family.

"So what?"

Guo fan smiled: "we just catch the criminals involved in the silver robbery. Do we have to taboo the identity of the prisoners?"

"This..."

Your highness looked at each other and saw the confusion and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Lord, are you pretending to be stupid?

"Return to the marquis."

Xia Houyan calmed down and said, "from the existing evidence, it's no problem to invite several shopkeepers of Longsheng chamber of commerce into the six doors."

"But further study, I'm afraid it's enough."

"No harm!"

Guo fan gets up and stretches his muscles and bones: "go and take a confession and ask them to sign a pledge. Also, find out who secretly planned it in huojiabao."

"Take the evidence and we'll go to Yuyang County!"

"That's right."

He shrunk his eyes and said, "go and borrow two thousand soldiers. Go with me and thoroughly investigate Longsheng chamber of Commerce!"

…………

half a month later.

Near Yuyang county.

Under a camp, elite soldiers patrol back and forth. Bursts of killing and cutting gas also make the businessmen on the road feel uneasy.

"Report!"

Outside the big tent, soldiers shouted.

"Lord Luan, the pushing official of Yuyang County, Lord Liu, the censor, and Lord Qiao, the chief official, asked to see the marquis."

"Enter!"

In the big tent, Guo fan took a scroll in his hand and replied casually.

Then the big tent was opened, and a line of three officials in Imperial uniforms stepped in and bowed to it.

"Yuyang County pushed officials, supervised censors and chief officials to meet the Marquis of Zhenwu."

"Yes."

Guo fan didn't lift his eyes and move. He said indifferently, "what are you doing in the important place of the barracks?"

"Report to the marquis."

Lord Liu, the imperial envoy, stepped forward and said in a solemn voice: "the Marquis led a large army to come, which made the people in the city panic and have no intention to work. He also asked the Marquis to send troops back, so that the people in the county can be stable."

"Huh?"

Guo fan frowned and looked up.

"What?"

"You haven't received any news. I'm here to catch several masterminds in the theft of official silver."

"Leading the army to come is also to prevent the people of Longsheng chamber of Commerce from making donations and escaping, just in case."

"Hou Ye!"

Lord Liu's face sank and said, "the official silver theft case is now about to be closed and transferred to Dali temple."

"The Shi family, the Huo family and the baling sect have all won. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"Peng!"

A dull noise.

The book in Guo fan's hand has been heavily thrown on the desk.

"How dare you! How dare you speak to Ben Hou in this tone? Are you questioning Ben Hou?"

"There are as many as one million liang of stolen official silver. How much can we recover?"

"Longsheng chamber of commerce not only participated in it, but also embezzled most of the silver. It's natural to take people at this time!"

"You..."

He looked straight at the three people coldly: "as the imperial court commander, you don't help me catch the prisoners, but lock the city gate and forbid me to enter. What's the reason?"

"Lord, calm down."

Lord Luan's eyes changed, hurried forward and spoke slowly: "the so-called soldiers are like comb. The people in the county are afraid of soldiers entering the city. People are panic. We have no way."

"As for the theft of official silver."

He said with a smile, "the Longsheng chamber of Commerce was also concealed. They didn't know that the silver was official silver."

"But now we know that we can't make mistakes again and again. Within three days, they will give the original amount of silver."

"And what about your hard work, marquis?"

"Oh?"

Guo fan picked his eyes and smiled: "so, are you here to be a lobbyist?"

"I dare not."

Lord Qiao bowed his hand and said, "I'm just here to explain the misunderstanding so as not to spread too widely and make each other look bad."

"Doesn't it look good?"

Guo fan smiled gently.

Then, with a wave, Xia Houyan came over at once.

"Do you know these adults?"

"Yes."

Xia Houyan nodded. Her eyes were a little complicated. She seemed unwilling to resist and happy.

"Lord Qiao was a scholar in his early years. He was born in poverty. Now he has a wife, Wang's daughter, and his family has more than 10000 yuan."

"Lord Liu is a member of the Liu family in Yingchuan. He makes good friends with the leader of Longsheng chamber of Commerce."

"Lord Luan is even more a local. According to the rules of the court, he can't be an official here, but he has been seconded here. Over the years, he has the hope of promotion, but Lord Luan is missing and hasn't left Yuyang county."

"You three have a lot of relations with Longsheng chamber of Commerce!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Nonsense!"

"Shut up!"

The three suddenly changed color and roared at once.

"Three."

Xia Houyan sighed softly and said, "I'm humble. Here are the documents transferred from the East Hall. What you've done... Has been sent!"

"It's enough to die a hundred times for what the three have done!"

"Well."

Guo fan suddenly looked up and asked, "it's getting late. If the meal is ready, come up!"

"Yes."

…………

"Lord Sun, why did the three adults go in so long and haven't come out yet?"

Outside the barracks.

Two officials were waiting for themselves. One of them frowned and looked puzzled.

"Who knows where?"

Lord Sun was a military attache. When he heard the speech, he turned his mouth and stood lazily aside: "but it doesn't matter. Can something happen?"

Liumen is responsible for arresting criminals and investigating cases, but it can't control them who are officials.

Even if it is the East and West factories, it is not so easy to get people in places.

"Two, come in!"

At this time, the camp door opened and a group of soldiers led them in.

Before long, I came to a big tent.

Lord Sun sniffed lightly. It seemed that he smelled a certain smell, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Two, please come in!"

The soldiers motioned aside. They were calm and adjusted their clothes. Then they stepped inside.

“……”

When they entered, the scene immediately made their legs soft and almost paralyzed on the spot.

But on the side of the big tent, three people were bound by chains. One person had a short spear in his chest. The blood was flowing slowly from his heart. The blood on the ground was gurgling and smelling bloody.

One of the other two was black and blue, like a thousand cuts. The other was trembling and frightened, and almost completely lost his mind.

Although they have long hair and ragged clothes, they still recognize at a glance that these three are the city officials who entered the barracks not long ago!

And the big account is in the middle.

A handsome young man, holding a dagger in his hand, gently crossed a plate of barbecue and tasted it carefully. His face was comfortable, in sharp contrast to the scene nearby.

"We're going into town."

Guo fan picked up a white silk cloth and gently wiped the corners of his mouth: "what do you two adults want to say?"

"Poop!"

One of the two fell to the ground with a soft knee.
