Lord Jinyiwei

In Changsha Mansion, the city gate is under martial law, and the soldiers patrolling back and forth around the city wall, the three of them had just approached the city wall, and they shouted: "Who is here?!"

Guo Sheng showed his token: "Wen Taichu, Minister of the Dali Temple, Liang Si, Commander of Jin Yiwei, and Youqian, the capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, were ordered to investigate the case."

"Wait a minute!" the man went to report.

Zhang Yong came, dressed in military armor, with neatly tied hair, sharp eyebrows, and a heroic face, a completely different image from the past.

Wen Taichu raised his head and exclaimed.

Zhang Yongdao: "Open the city gate."

Zhang Yong frowned deeply, and said directly: "They are all 'old acquaintances', and the admiral didn't greet me anymore. The military salary arrived on the sixth day of this month, and it was stolen on the fifteenth day. I hope the three adults can solve the case as soon as possible, so as not to delay the military salary." The disbursement will shake the morale of the army."

Wen Taichu nodded and said, that is natural.

Zhang Yong really didn't exchange pleasantries, and directly ordered his subordinates who had just told him: help them arrange three rooms.He left the three of them and left.

Wen Taichu looked dazed: "..."

Liang Si and Guo Sheng have long been accustomed to it.

Liang Sidao: "Travel is exhausting, is Hongmao tired?"

Guo Sheng smiled and shook his head: "It's okay."

Liang Si still said: "Brother Wen, why don't you rest for one night today before investigating."

Wen Taichu looked at Guo Sheng and nodded.

In the early morning of the next day, Liang Si cooked breakfast and called the two of them to eat together. Wen Taichu finished the meal in two spoonfuls. Liang Si and Guo Sheng dipped the side dishes in the sauce and drank the porridge leisurely.

Wen Taichu: "..."

Guo Sheng said: "Brother Wen, don't worry, Zhang Yong should be training soldiers at this time, I'm afraid he won't talk to the three of us."

Wen Taichu nodded, and asked after a while: "Has Zhang Yong always been like this? Wouldn't this offend many people? So Hong Mao and Yuan Tong don't like him?"

Guo Shengdao: "I don't like him with Yuan, not because of his personality, but because what he does is often on the edge of the Ming law."

Wen Taichu smiled and said: "Hongmao has always been strict with the law, and Zhang Yong didn't violate any major laws, otherwise Hongmao would have arrested him long ago?"

Guo Sheng nodded: "Except for the Xianyunlou incident, although I have always suspected that he will become the next Liu Jin, he really did not do anything against the law."

-

Zhang Yonggang was training to play soldiers. On the school field, he acted resolutely, strictly and conscientiously. The soldiers rushed back sweating. Zhang Yong turned his head and saw three people standing outside the school field watching.

Wen Taichu's eyes were full of admiration: "Admiral Zhang, I didn't expect you to have this side."

Zhang Yong didn't even look at him.

Wen Taichu touched his nose in embarrassment, and then asked about the case: "May I ask Admiral Zhang, how did the military pay disappear, is there any doubt?"

Only then did Zhang Yong turn around: "It was stolen on the night of the [-]th of this month, and it was discovered by cleaning the warehouse on the [-]th."

"Stolen 5000 taels of silver overnight? You can't even carry it away!" Wen Taichu said, "Admiral Zhang really knows how to joke."

Zhang Yong's face sank: "Who is joking with you?"

Wen Taichu was taken aback.

Looking at the three of them, Zhang Yong said solemnly: "If there is nothing wrong with it and they can be found out easily, I will send three adults to Sheng to investigate the case?"

Wen Taichu immediately echoed: "It is also..."

Zhang Yong pointed to a lieutenant general and said, "Go and cooperate with the three adults to investigate the case."

The deputy general cupped his hands: "The last general, Jiang Bin, has met several adults."

The lieutenant is tall and tall, looks thin and gentle, but has a straight and handsome face, with thick eyebrows and a square face, exuding a heroic spirit.

The four of them came to the warehouse. The warehouse was huge, covering an area of ​​about a hundred miles. Now it was empty and empty, with walls on all sides.

Jiang Bin said slowly: "It's weird to say that the three adults may not believe it, but it is true that all 5000 taels of silver disappeared overnight."

Three people: "..."

Jiang Bin: "From the moment the military salary arrived in Hunan, Admiral Zhang was extremely cautious. The warehouse was strictly guarded every day, and the people were different every day. Every shift was changed at three o'clock in the afternoon, and every shift had to be counted. , because we are afraid that someone will collude with them and carry the silver taels, and we don’t know why the military salary disappeared, or overnight.”

5000 taels of silver, more than 180 kilograms!I can't even lift it!

Everyone was astonished.

Liang Sidao: "What strange thing happened that day?"

Jiang Bin shook his head: "No, it's the same as before."

Liang Si: "You call all the people guarding the warehouse."

Ku Bing was called by Jiang Bin, and there were three rows of people standing outside the door. Liang Si carefully observed everyone's expressions, and then said: "What happened on the fifteenth and sixteenth of this month? What did you see and what did you hear?" Say it all verbatim!"

Ku Bing had already been asked several times, and he shook his head.

Liang Si: "The fifteenth and sixteenth guards stand out!"

There were four people. Liang Si asked, "Which general do you all belong to?"

The four raised their voices and said, "Admiral Zhang."

At this time, Liang Si noticed that not only these four people, but all the warehouse workers here had the marks of Shenjiying on their armor.

Jiang Bin explained: "There are several other generals in the army, but Admiral Zhang doesn't seem to trust them very much. All the people guarding the warehouse are from the Shenji camp."

Liang Si asked the four people what strange things they saw, and the four shook their heads one after another. Liang Si carefully observed their faces and did not see anything unusual.

Liang Si pondered and remained silent, and the other two did not speak either.Jiang Bin said: "A few adults have come from afar, do you want to have a taste of Hunan cuisine?"

Liang Si waved his hand.

Jiang Bin nodded: "If the three adults have any questions, please feel free to ask me. The last general will prepare the siege tactics for a few days, and will soon attack the last nest of the rebels."

The three of them could only nod their heads, walking around in this empty warehouse, Wen Taichu murmured: "Overnight? Empty?"

Liang Si asked Guo Sheng: "Hongmao, what do you think?"

Guo Sheng frowned: "I can't see any clues for the time being."

Liang Si rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Then don't think about it. Zhang Yong's own people lose their military pay and he is not in a hurry. What are we in a hurry for? Let's go and eat Hunan cuisine."

Guo Sheng smiled.

The three of them went to a Hunan restaurant not far from the warehouse. Liang Si looked at the menu and ordered several dishes, then geared up and looked forward to it.

Guo Sheng arranged the bowls and chopsticks for him, and poured tea for the two: "Yuan Tong, have you eaten before?"

Liang Si nodded, and explained to Guo Sheng and Wen Taichu the dishes he had just ordered, and what Wen Taichu said was drooling.

The waiter in the shop was delighted to hear that, and served the dishes one after another. The aroma was tangy, the color was bright, and the aftertaste was endless.

Liang Si tasted the dishes. Although chili peppers have not been used as ingredients, the taste and cooking method are similar.

Guo Sheng used to have a bland taste, but this time he even picked up several pieces of stir-fried pork ribs. Liang Si kept picking them up for him. Make it for you to eat."

Wen Taichu's mouth watered when he heard it, but after waiting for a long time, he only got the word "you" instead of "you".

He raised his head and saw that Liang Si was talking and Guo Sheng was listening, completely ignoring that there was another person here.

Wen Taichu: "..."
