Daming King of Punishment

The officials immediately responded and went in to search. It took half a day to search here. I don't know if they can search the cave in the remaining half day.

"I found the official bank!"

A sudden shout cheered everyone up, and Song Wuya hurriedly searched for the sound and ran in.Sure enough, in the cave, I saw more than a dozen boxes of silver, which were the official silver lost in the treasury.

"There is no one here, and the traces of the lights have obviously been extinguished for a long time. It is estimated that the people here heard the news yesterday, so they left early. We are still one step late in the end." Song Wuya looked at these helplessly Guan Yin said.

He immediately ordered people to call in people from outside to carry out the official silver.

And he and Bai Zhuo, accompanied by other officers and soldiers, began to inspect the inside of the cave.Since someone has lived here, there must be some clues left behind, so there may be some unexpected discoveries here.

"Hey! Brother Wu Ya, come quickly and have a look, what is this?" Suddenly Bai Zhuo who was beside him yelled in surprise, obviously he found something.

Song Wuya turned sideways and looked at the place Bai Zhuo pointed at, but saw a piece of cloth falling out of the pile of rubble in the corner.The reason why Bai Zhuo felt that this thing was strange was because there were two words embroidered on the rag.

"Boundless!" Song Wuya couldn't help but frowned at what this meant, because he couldn't figure it out at all.

Boundless, what this word represents is too complicated.With Song Wuya's own knowledge, it is really not difficult to explain this, but if this thing is shown on clothes, then there is a problem.But soon he came to the most likely conclusion, that this Wuliang must have something to do with Taoism.

"Could it be someone from Taoism?" Song Wuya immediately asked guessing.

Bai Zhuo on the side also nodded: "It's very possible."

The two of them ignored this, and after Song Wuya put away the rags, he began to look for other places.But they searched all the things here, except for some messy footprints, they found nothing else.These people retreated very calmly, and took away everything that should be taken away, and the official bank was obviously not convenient to take away, so they stayed here.

"It seems that there are no other discoveries, so let's go." Song Wuya said helplessly, it seems that all preparations have been made here, without leaving any clues for them.

But when he asked Bai Zhuo to leave, Bai Zhuo suddenly stopped and listened.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Bai Zhuo's strange behavior, Song Wuya asked suspiciously.

Then Bai Zhuo frowned and said: "Brother Wu Ya, why did I vaguely hear someone shouting? Could it be caused by those innocent souls who died here?"

After saying this, Bai Zhuo's face also turned pale. Obviously, the ghost thing made him feel a little scared.However, in front of Song Wuya, the ghosts he mentioned did not exist at all.You know, although Song Wuya is sometimes frightened by those things that disappear without a trace, he firmly believes that there will be no ghosts in this world.

Hearing what Bai Zhuo said at this moment, he immediately held his breath and listened intently.Sure enough, as Bai Zhuo said, after listening carefully, he really did vaguely hear someone shouting.But this voice seemed to be the word "help" shouted by a group of people.

He frowned, and listened carefully to the sounds around him. He actually felt the direction of the sound, and slowly leaned over while frowning.

In the end, Song Wuya stopped in front of the stone wall.He immediately called people over: "Come here, bring the torch."

He yelled this, and an official came over immediately with a torch.Under the light of the torch, the stone wall in front of him immediately became a little weird.Seeing this, Song Wuya immediately stretched out his hand to touch the stone wall. The place where his fingers touched immediately felt a different touch from the stone, and at the same time he also felt that the area was very wet.

"This place is sealed with mud, and stone powder is artificially sprinkled on it. If you don't look carefully, you really can't find this place." Song Wuya immediately became delighted with this discovery, and shouted: " More people come here, there are discoveries here."

With the efforts of the officials, the place that was artificially sealed with mud and sprinkled with stone powder was finally dug up.As they continued to clean up, the voice that was faintly visible before became more and more clear.Finally, when the fire illuminated the situation inside, everyone exclaimed.

"Stop standing still, let them out quickly!" Song Wuya shouted immediately.

No one expected that there was a prison hidden in this place, and more than 30 people were sealed here.Among them, many people are completely weak and weak. If Song Wuya hadn't found out, I'm afraid they would all die here.

Chapter 52 Lockdown of Kinnan County

?Chapter 52 Blockade Jinnan County

Everyone hurriedly opened the cell door, and the person trapped in the cell rushed out immediately.Obviously they don't want to be trapped in this dark place, their hearts are almost on the verge of collapse.

Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo stood behind, looking at these people, they were finally relieved.Anyway, they managed to save some people, otherwise, if so many people died here, it would be really tragic.

"There's something wrong with these people."

Suddenly, a person walked in front of Song Wuya, and when he passed by him, he whispered something to him.

Song Wuya was startled for a moment, he turned his head to look at that person, looking at that broad figure, a person's appearance immediately flashed in his mind.That's right, it was the Niu Er he saw in the prison in Jinnan County.

"Everyone, don't go out in a hurry. You haven't seen the sun for a long time. If you go out like this, your eyes will be damaged and you may become blind." Niu Er said this, clearly reminding himself, and he immediately shouted loudly.At the same time, afraid that the people Niu Er said would rush out, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop them, these people don't understand these principles, don't let them rush out just because they are afraid in this cave."

While saying this, Song Wuya immediately pulled Bai Zhuo and walked outside.Those officers and soldiers were really good. As soon as he finished speaking, they immediately stopped these people.

Song Wuya walked out of the cave, and immediately found an official from the outside, and said to him: "Get someone over here immediately, and bring back those people who came out of the cave, and check their identities one by one, and then do the same." decide."

The official responded, then turned and left.Looking at the mountain forest, it suddenly became lively. At the moment, it is almost divided into four parts. One part is guarding Jinnan County Magistrate Zhang Hui and his men, and the other group is looking for places where the dead bodies may be buried. , and the remaining two groups of people went out to carry the official money and take in the young men who had just been released.

Seeing that it was getting late, all the things that should be done have been done.The imperial envoy is obviously very satisfied with today's action, after all, the missing official bank has been recovered.Moreover, it is undoubtedly a very happy thing to save so many people, and naturally the emperor's reward will be indispensable after returning.

"Lord Situ, today's operation can be said to have been successfully completed! Although this kind of thing happened, it is not a happy thing, but after all, we have saved so many people, right? This is also a blessing in the face of failure. What are your plans next?"

Of course Situ Yi already knew what to do next, it wasn't Song Wuya who told him, but he should know it himself.He nodded and said to the imperial envoy: "Now there are still many doubts about this matter. First of all, this batch of official bank should be transported to Songjiang, and then the number should be counted lightly. Whether the missing official bank can be recovered. And these The people who were rescued must be sent home one by one. What the lower officials are most worried about is that none of the villains have been caught after such a thing happened here, and I don’t know if they got mixed up with these people. A detailed investigation of their identities must be made. Since these strong men have been rescued, Zhang Hui must have confessed, and he must know the truth of all this from him!"

Back to the village again, because of today's action, the whole village has been completely blown up.

Apparently the bad news had spread to the village, and almost every household burst into tears.It's just that there was no way to do this, and the old man was even more grief-stricken. After Song Wuya's persuasion, he stopped crying, but the expression of grief and indignation can be imagined.

After listening to Situ Yi's detailed deployment, the imperial envoy nodded his head, obviously he had nothing to add.However, looking at the expression on Situ Yi's face at this moment, he knew that it would be very difficult for him to handle this matter.

"Your Majesty Situ has something to say, just say it straight." The imperial envoy couldn't see that Situ Yi was in trouble, after all, he had been an official for so many years, and being appointed by the emperor as an imperial envoy showed that he was not a dull person.

After the imperial envoy uttered these words, Situ Yi's eyes flickered immediately, as if his previous appearance was all fake, and what he was waiting for was the imperial envoy's words.

"My lord! Although this matter is easy to say, it is too difficult to do. I am afraid that in Songjiang territory, the manpower that the lower officials can mobilize is not enough to complete such a thing. What's more, even though today we see It seems to be a complete success, but I still don't want to give up like this. After all, we only searched a small part of this mountain forest, and we don't know if we will find anything else in other places."

Situ Yi uttered all his embarrassments in one breath, and now the imperial envoy had a strange expression on his face.After all, the official bank has already been found, as long as the amount is counted and he goes back to deal with the emperor, it will be nothing to him.But just now when he asked such a question, Situ Yi continued to say such a thing, so that if he didn't do a favor, it really wouldn't make sense.

Immediately, the Imperial Envoy had no choice but to smile and said: "It turns out that Lord Situ is worried about this. That's easy to say. Then I will return to Beijing to return to my order. After the trees are lightened tomorrow, I will report this matter to the Holy One and leave it with you." Let Master Situ unravel the fog here together."

The imperial envoy's words made Situ Yi kowtow to the ground, grateful: "Thank you, my lord. If I have your help, I think I will be able to catch all these thieves."

With the help of the imperial guards, this matter is much easier to handle.Early the next morning, the imperial guards escorted Guanyin back to the mansion, while the officials of Songjiang Mansion continued to search the mountains and forests here, and the rest of them hand-picked all those people, and issued a notice to the surrounding villages to attack Jinnan County , Let their family members come to lead them.

When Song Wuya and his party returned to Songjiang Mansion, it was already dark.The official bank was put into the warehouse immediately and counted. After careful checking, it was confirmed that the bank was only 80.To actually lose 40 silver is really a big deal.But the face of the imperial envoy was not completely gloomy, but took a deep breath.

"Hey! Although the original amount has not been recovered, but in any case, most of it has been recovered. Is it better than the 120 million taels of official silver disappearing?" This is obviously self-deception. He thinks so, but the emperor may not Think so.After all, this 40 taels of silver is definitely not a small amount. If someone uses this money for evil purposes, it will be a big deal.

Facing this matter, Song Wuya sat in the back hall, watching Situ Wen pour tea for him in front of him, but he didn't care about it.

"Brother Wuya, what are you doing with this appearance? Isn't the matter already over? Why do you still look suspicious?" Bai Zhuo obviously couldn't understand what Song Wuya meant by this, after all, everything now It should be a relaxed time now that the truth has come to light.

However, Song Wuya didn't think so, because this matter was far from simple.

"No one knows where the people in the cave went. They were able to move easily, obviously someone had prepared for them in advance, otherwise they couldn't have left in a hurry. And , the role of the Datong Bank, and who is running it. Why are Mrs. Liu and Liu Shang unwilling to say a word about it? The missing official bank supervision history, is it dead or alive? This is also a matter of position. And Zhang Hui, the leader of Jinnan County, is he the one who controls the overall situation in this matter?"

Regarding Bai Zhuo's statement, Song Wuya expressed so many doubts one after another.Obviously, these seemingly unimportant things are indeed suspicious.Leaving aside Zhang Hui and the person who left the cave, Mrs. Liu and Liu Shang must have been involved in this case, but why did they refuse to say a word about the Chase Bank? What about the secret?

"I have to ask my uncle to seal up the Datong bank account immediately." Song Wuya stood up immediately as he said that, and was about to go outside.

Seeing this, Situ Wen who was standing in front of him hurriedly said, "Uncle is discussing business matters with the imperial envoy, you can go after drinking tea!"

But Song Wuya ran out without listening, just like the arrow that opened the bow and didn't turn back.However, when he walked outside the door, he suddenly stopped.
