In Daming Mansion, Liang Zhongqiu looked at the letter in his hand, his face turned blue and white.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver, if you die, you will be robbed in your Daming Mansion. Who would believe it if you say it?

Also, if you hold an army of 150,000, will anyone think that this is the precursor to your rebellion? There is even a Jiang family in Longmenshan, Hedong, who came to ask if they wanted to raise an uprising?

Liang Zhongqiu did not have the courage to be the first place to rebel. There are many people who are stronger than him, and the first one to carry the flag will inevitably be the target of public criticism.

"Fang Jian has been there for so long, is there no news yet?" Liang Zhongqiu asked uneasily.

"Go and take a look." A genital general couldn't step out, so he turned over and headed straight to the legendary ferry where the silver was robbed.

A flat-bottomed canal boat was docked at the Qingjiang Ferry, and the four-sided transport troops were on guard and separated the surrounding ships far away. Fang Jian, the Tongji of Daming Mansion, was less than 30 years old. He was tall and thin, with long and narrow cheeks grayish white, and his cunning and bright eyes swept at every corner of the ship with a shimmering and bright eyes.

"You mean, the robbers took the night to remove the big ship and transported the silver from the bottom of the water? They killed these shipmen?"

An imperial guard nodded and said carelessly: "That's true, but you have asked seven or eight times, why do you have such a poor memory?"

Fang Jian did not care about him, his expression was a little sinister, and he said in a calm voice: "I will go back and report to the General, please rest here for a while."

"You have to go and go back quickly. The war ahead is tight, and this money cannot be delayed."

Fang Jian snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Several imperial guards gathered together and muttered, "Can't he see it?"

"Don't worry, it depends on how he handles it."

The marchers were lazy and hugging their arms in the sun, and the sun was comfortable, so they could just go to the deck.

At the General's Office, Fang Jian quickly stepped in, looked around, and after seeing Liang Zhongqiu, he said angrily: "General, this is a ghost trick set up by the imperial court, which has turned into a deception."

"Oh? How do you see it?"

Liang Zhongqiu stepped back and stood up and asked.

"There are more than 30 dead people, all of whom were killed by sharp blades, and they were killed in one move. If they were to dig a boat and steal silver, how could they kill people so calmly? Moreover, the people in the imperial guards said that they were all their comrades, but the subordinates repeatedly observed that each of the soldiers had no sadness on their faces, but they were very relaxed. On the other hand, the deceased had no calluses on their palms, and they didn't look like soldiers who were snatching every day. There were marks on their hands and feet, and they turned blue after death. The subordinates speculated that these people were just prisoners of Bianliang they brought, and they were all wearing heavy shackles, and perhaps they were death row prisoners!"

Liang Zhongqiu's face became increasingly ugly. He looked at Fang Jian and whispered: "Don't tell anyone about this..."

"Sir! Do you really have to pay this 200,000 taels?" Fang Jian looked incredible. This matter must not be disclosed in a wide range, so that the truth will be revealed.

Such a clumsy trick would take away 200,000 yuan. It would be too unfair to take the people of Daming Mansion seriously. Do you really think that Daming Mansion is full of wine and food?

Liang Zhongqiu lowered his head, his voice a little sluggish, "Twenty-hundred thousand is not too much. Don't lose the big picture because of a small amount, and give Chen Shou the excuse to punish our Daming Mansion."

Fang Jian was stunned. The dignified general was so cowardly. No wonder Chen Shou bullied him again and again. This was too bloodless.

In a hurry, Fang Jian did not hold his fists and directly brushed his sleeves out.

Liang Zhongqiu stretched out his hand and wanted to keep it, but he didn't say it.

After Fang Jian left, Liang Zhongqiu paced back and forth in the room, his face gloomy and unstable.

"Fang Jian...will he talk nonsense in anger? If everyone in Daming Mansion knew that Chen Shou was harming me, would everyone still accept me?"

"Fang Jian himself has been so disrespectful. Over time, what prestige do I have in Daming Mansion?"

Liang Zhongqiu stomped his feet and thought hatefully, why can't he understand himself?

Chen Shou wanted to force me to rebel, so that I could have reason to accept my military power, so how could I let him go?

Thinking of this, Liang Zhongqiu's eyes gradually became sinister. He coughed lightly and a few personal guards came in.

"Jiang Fang Jian's family and silence him!"

"yes!"

---

The reward army was robbed. A few days later, the whole family of Fang Jian, the Tongji of Daming Mansion who was responsible for the case, was killed.

There are more than 30 people in the family, and there are many different opinions on who the murderer is in the corpse mansion, but they are not sure.

For a time, the people of Daming Mansion were panicked and the wind was in panic. Many officials were cautious and did not dare to speak.

The canal water brought by the cold wind seemed to be gone without the noise of the past. On the river, a middle-aged man landed on a boat and rode a horse straight to the general army's yamen.

"Xue Duo, please sit down and have tea."

Liang Zhongqiu smiled very well, but Xue Liangping, the head of the canal transport rudder, had a slight ominous premonition. He had never received such courtesy here in Liang Zhongqiu.

In the past, he could not even enter the door and could only give gifts in the outer yard. After putting down the silver, he would have to be driven away like a flies.

When politeness comes to others, there must be something to ask for. If things are abnormal, there must be something to be evil. Xue Liangping is an old man and I don’t know how to do this, so I am not secretly happy about it.

"When the general is summoned, I don't know what orders are there?" He knew that the robbery of silver and the destruction of the magistrate were all major events in recent times. His summoning this time was probably related to this incident.

The canal transportation in Daming Prefecture has lasted for a hundred years. In order to recover Youyan, Taizu dug a canal and took over Youyun's homeland in one fell swoop.

Since then, the canal has been preserved and has supported countless people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait for a hundred years.

Xue Liangping had hundreds of large ships under him, and there were no less than a thousand men who followed him to make a living, and they were also a hero. However, they all relied on Daming Mansion, so they were very respectful to Liang Zhongqiu.

"Wuqing County's bandit suppression was robbed. Do you know this?"

Xue Liangping nodded and said, "The villain has ordered to cooperate with the government to investigate the case."

"That's what I'm talking about. Two hundred thousand people are robbed, and your grain operation will not be related to it." Liang Zhongqiu said with a pinched voice.

Xue Liangping stood up suddenly, "Sir, what does this mean? Could it be that we have committed this big case?"

"I just said that you can't escape." Liang Zhongqiu snorted coldly and said, "This canal is your territory. So many people died on it and so much money has been lost. Do you want to push it clean, can you push it?"

Xue Liangping was so angry that he suppressed his anger and asked, "What does General mean?"

"The court stolen 200,000 taels, you can get 100,000, and I will find a way to do the rest." Liang Zhongqiu gently fiddled with the blue and white bowl and said slowly.

His tone was very plain, as if the money was worthy of the men who should run the canal transportation.

Xue Liangping knew that it was useless to say more, so he clasped his fists and said, "Please give me a few days to give me a grace. The villain will come back and bring it to the mansion to you."

"How many days do you want?"

"Ten days."

Liang Zhongqiu slapped the table and immediately turned his back and cursed: "The court urged me to wait for you ten days? A hundred thousand taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for you. I must be sent to me tomorrow, otherwise you should not take a boat from Daming Mansion in the future."

Xue Liangping clasped his fists in a muffled voice and said, "The villain knows."

He walked out of the General Army Office and saw the sky in the distance clear and high, the sun shining brightly, and the spring was bright.
