Dress as a villain

"Lord Xianfan, what are they doing by the river?!"

When Xie Ji heard the voice on the hillside, his face immediately changed. After thinking about it again, the unknown gold on the shore, and the fact that he himself brought 1000 people to the South Water Source, all the coincidences seemed to point to his smuggling of gold.

There were rumors before that Hu Min no longer believed in Mrs. Xie, and now it is difficult for this group of people to trust him.The prince will not be as patient as the marshal is with him, so now that the prince's people are here, could it be that they were arranged by others?

Wasn't he being plotted against? !

"General, those people are coming towards us." Xie Fei and Xie Chong said one after another.

Xie Ji stared at Xie Fei and then Xie Chong, closed his eyes and struggled for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, brothers, you bear with it for now!"

Before Xie Fei and Xie Chong had time to react, he was kicked into the water by Xie Ji,

Xie Ji drew his sword and shouted: "It's you, how dare you steal private goods here behind my back."

Xie Fei and Xie Chong stared at the general in shock in the river, and then the county official Liu Jie brought people here, and saw a whole box of gold, and Xie Ji raised his saber to the two of them in the water.

Liu Jie's eyes flashed, and he took the initiative to pick up a gold brick from the box, and sniffed it closely, and found that it smelled like Fushou cake.

"General, this time I received a report from Mito, saying that your Xie family is going to change your name privately, causing disputes, so this time I brought someone to look at it personally."

"I didn't expect the general to have gained something."

Xie Ji put away his saber, he first ordered people to arrest Xie Fei and Xie Chong, and then greeted the county fan with a fist: "This general came up to check the water is just a disguise, in fact, it is the inner ghost!"

"The general means that these two are the ghosts who smuggled gold?" Liu Jie walked across Xie Ji towards the two brothers Xie Fei and Xie Chong. He asked them, "Why did you smuggle gold?"

Xie Fei and Xie Chong looked at Xie Ji again, and Xie Ji made eye contact with them, and they immediately opened their mouths and said, "We only smuggled apples, we didn't want to give them to the Humin in the north for free, we just wanted to sell them to the Humin in the south, but who didn't?" Thinking that what was transported was gold! We are also very innocent, how could we have so many opportunities to make money?!"

Liu Jie said: "What's your name, I will check it myself."

"Xie Fei, Xie Chong." The two said.

Before Liu Jie arrested the two of them, Xie Ji ordered: "Take them into the barracks immediately and wait for the general to interrogate them overnight."

He pointed to the box of gold again, and said to Liu Jie: "The source of the ill-gotten wealth is unknown. This general is really worried. My lord will take it away for investigation."

Liu Jie didn't detain Xie Fei and Xie Chong, because the two had worked together and there was still a long face-to-face meeting to fight.Liu Jie specifically reminded him: "General Xie, no matter whether this matter has anything to do with you or not, the rumors that I wanted to suppress may spread again."

This is telling him that the reason for tonight is very far-fetched, and he cannot be cleared of his suspicion. It may not be so easy for him to continue to choose patience.

But Xie Ji could only endure.

Other than that, he couldn't help it.

For the first time in Xie Ji's life, apart from Xie Lanzhi, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Liu Jie: "Master Liu, this general is a rough man and is not good at handling cases. , this general will not deny it, when the time comes, I will let you personally judge me."

Liu Jie was very surprised. For the first time, he looked at Xie Ji from beginning to end, and saw Xie Ji's serious face.

Without saying anything, he turned around and ordered someone to take the gold away.

Xie Ji brought Xie Fei and Xie Chong back to the barracks, but the rest of them continued to change the water flow back to the original place at the south water source, and handed in the water deed to continue to cooperate with Mito on the same day.

Most of the Mizutos were hesitant to sign at this time, and only one person signed.

Liu Jie heard about the water households, and he helped everyone to pay the water tax. The water households had to continue to renew their contracts for money.

The news of Mito's contract renewal spread all over the south the next day, and then there were rumors about Xie Ji smuggling gold and letting his subordinates take the blame.This time Xie Ji still didn't say a word, the Hu people didn't know whether to believe it or not?Until the county was testified by the magistrate of the county, the gold seized from Xie Jun last night was Su Ha's family property, but it was just the tip of the iceberg.

This was the news from the county, and the Hu people immediately pointed their guns at Xie Jun, thinking that Xie Jun is really not a good thing, so the previous rumors might be true.So this time the Humin did not cut water or sell vegetables like last time. Instead, people began to sneak into Xie's base camp to search for gold.

Xie Bing caught one after another, and one after another, so that Xie's base camp was pervasive like slipping through the net.

Xie Bing got tired of catching him, so he stopped.As long as there is no loss of military supplies and official documents, they can only endure.

As a result, Hu Min became more daring and presumptuous in the Xie Clan's base camp, and some Hu Min mengs even started to set up a tent here. Xie Bing dared not speak out. No orders were issued or measures were taken.

The Hu people decided that Xie Ji had a guilty conscience.But when Xie Ji patrolled as usual, they avoided pointing in front of others.

There was first a tent outside the Xie family base camp, then seven or eight tents, until many people moved to the vicinity of the barracks, and even the Xie soldiers were watching the training.

At this time, Yichi Mito heard that General Xie had no intention of driving away the Hu people, so they gradually stopped sending people to test.

Until night, hundreds of tents in Xie’s base camp were on fire, and Xie’s soldiers were beating gongs and drums, and some of them shouted without lifting their pants: “It’s water!!”

"Go away!"

"Everyone, get up and evacuate!"

Tens of thousands of Xie soldiers rushed out of the barracks one after another, watching the tents in the barracks burn half of the sky, turning into a sea of ​​flames.

Xie Ji fell into a severe coma and was rescued by brothers Xie Fei and Xie Chong.

The occurrence of this incident caused a sensation in the whole society. That night, all the Hu people watched the burning of Xie's base camp across the water bank. The fire seemed to cover the north side, while the Hu people in the north saw the south side covered by fire. Everyone Everyone was shocked.

"Why did it catch fire all of a sudden?"

"I heard that when Xie Jun was fighting the fire, there was no water. That's why it burned like this!"

"Aren't Mito masters open?"

"Come on, what are the virtues of the Mito masters. I heard that the scorpion here dared to go wild in the Xie's barracks, and General Xie didn't say anything."

"What is the reason why General Xie is so patient with the leprosy? Could it be because of a guilty conscience!"

"I don't know if I'm guilty or not, but I'm afraid this fire...we did it ourselves!"

"Oh my God! We were just scolding Mrs. Xie, why did someone do something? Isn't this driving Mrs. Xie to Tianjing!"

At this time, the Humin people finally realized that it was not as simple as gossip.

Xie's base camp was burned down and there was no water to save himself. The fault of this matter was originally the Mitos.

The fire in the Xie Clan's base camp burned until dawn before it was extinguished with water. Xie Clan's General Xie Ji fell into a coma, waiting for the news to bombard him continuously.

Liu Jie personally led people to arrest the water households, accused them of breaking the water contract and leaving Xie's base camp without water to save themselves, grabbed them with their hands tied and sent them to the county government.The barbarians along the street have never seen such a fight, and they also saw that it was the Mitos who were arrested by the magistrate.

The Hu people were in a state of confusion. They were blinded by the public opinion for a while, and it was rumored that it was Hu Min who set the fire, and another time it was rumored that the Mihu people planned to drive Xie out, and they opposed the construction of the merchant capital.It was because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to requisition their land, so they set fire to arouse the conflict between the Xie family and the Crown Prince.

The Hu people managed to live a good life in Shangdu, but now it is heard that Mito ruined the future of Shangdu for his own selfishness.The Hu people immediately found a vent and insulted the Mitos one after another.

The Mitos were speechless. They had no idea who had cut off the water source. How could Lord Xianfan blame them?They have cut it off before, but this time it's really not them!

Now they have nowhere to complain about their grievances. After all, they have previous convictions, and no one will believe them.

And Xie Ji was officially transferred to the best doctor Hu for treatment, and the barracks was temporarily moved into an enclave separated from Yiyibing.

Since many people in Xie Bing were trampled and injured when they escaped, some soldiers were very busy to rescue them. A large number of Xie soldiers had to clean up the remaining barracks and new camps, so the Fan soldiers at the port and the Xie Bing began to change guards continuously for seven days in a row, checking and defending, all of them were a group of people, and many people were exhausted immediately, leaving vacancies, so they had to outsource and hire some barbarian warriors to guard the port.

Finally on the tenth day, the barbarian warriors couldn't bear to stand guard day and night.

Several of them couldn't help but started to be lazy, and someone came to deliver wine, saying that they would be more energetic after drinking, and they fell asleep even more soundly after drinking.

So much so that he lay on a wooden frame by the embankment and almost fell into the water and drowned.There was a samurai who fell into the water and woke up from choking. Just as he was about to climb ashore, he suddenly heard the sound of skin piercing and stabbing with a knife. As a samurai, he is most sensitive to this kind of sound.

The warrior was so frightened that he didn't dare to stand up under the wooden frame. After a while, he saw with his own eyes that someone above pushed his companions into the water one by one. Through the moonlight, the blood continued to overflow and dye a small piece of river red. The warrior stared. Big eyes, and then one after another the corpses of the warriors were pushed into the river, and finally the footsteps above started to get busy.

First a small boat went into the water, but no one was just carrying a box covered with a black cloth, and the boat floated all the way down with the current.Then one after another, a total of three boxes, until someone jumped into the river and dived into the river skillfully with a reed pole to swim.

When it feels like everyone above is gone.

The samurai just climbed out of the water and saw that the traces on the shore were cleaned up, which is not something ordinary people can do.

So I hurried to report to Liu Jie.

Liu Jie immediately took people to intercept the box after receiving it. It turned out that there were three empty boxes, but no divers were caught, and there were indeed corpses of barbarian warriors in the river.But the knives are their own knives, and there is a possibility of killing each other.

He rejected the samurai's report and arrested him as a suspect.

The samurai never expected that he would be caught in prison instead.

At the same time, Yelu Lili heard that the situation outside has become very tense.

It was rare for him to say calmly, "You are really willing to spend your money."

"If you don't gamble big, how can you get your money back?" Xie Lanzhi said, "But the enemy is really cunning, and they still don't forget to get some empty boxes to test us."

Yelu Lili said: "After doing so much, I still don't know where Suha's property is?"

"The Xie Clan's base camp was burnt to nothing. These days, how many people secretly dig the ground in the Xie Clan's base camp at night, like a mole digging a hole, but they still haven't found anything." Xie Lanzhi even couldn't help laughing. : "This time your people have personally proved that Xie Ji is innocent."

"Hey, yes, although a fire is a disaster, it's not an action to prove your innocence." Yelu Lili said bluntly this time: "It was Xie Ji's own idea?"

Seeing him, Xie Lanzhi wondered if he had given some orders secretly.

She couldn't stop laughing: "This handsome man is under your nose every day, so how could he escape his shell and send a message to Xie Ji?"

"That's right, so there's only one place left that hasn't been investigated." Yelu Lili was very depressed. There was no Suha's family property in the Xie family headquarters, and there were no other places.

Xie Lanzhi suddenly stared into his eyes, and slowly raised her finger to point at him: "There is another place."

"where?"

"Yu Palace."

Yelu Lili: "..."

"The group of warriors hired this time died. Although it is a test, it is also a flaw." Xie Lanzhi wondered why the other party ran out to scare the snake?Unnecessary?It may be because time is not enough, so I started to take risks.

Is Yu Gong going to do any important things recently?

"It's my birthday in two days."

Xie Lanzhi gave him an apple: "Happy birthday to you in advance."

Yelu Lili was not in the mood to argue with her, he couldn't believe it when he took the apple: "You said that Su Ha's family property will be in my Yu Palace?"

"Just under my nose? Impossible!"

After finishing speaking, his handsome face was a little distorted, and this kind of thing simply made him lose face.

Xie Lanzhi smiled lightly and remained silent.The more she behaved like this, the more suspicious Yelu Lili felt.In the end, Yelu Lili compromised, and there was indeed a possibility that there was something hidden in his Palace of Yu.

If it is true as Marshal Xie said, that temptation is also a flaw, and this flaw is undoubtedly forced by the burning of the Xie Clan's base camp.

The enemy probably didn't expect that Xie Ji would dare to burn down the barracks in such a self-destructive way, which also burned up some doubts about Xie's family and speeded up the time for them to be exposed.

No wonder the enemy has been staring at Xie Ji.It is precisely to use Xie Ji to steal the beam and change the post to drive a wedge between the two places. No matter how you look at it, it is a plan that kills many birds with one stone.

Repeated chains are enough to prove that this person's city is extremely deep. If he does not control it well, he will be a difficult enemy in the future.

Yelu Lili spread the news and prepared a banquet in advance. He will celebrate his birthday in Yu Palace tomorrow.

Xie Lanzhi felt that she should go out after staying for so many days.She got up from the stool and stretched. Apart from her daily work, she probably knew about this place, and the Qianqi she brought was also teaching Fanbing how to use the nest gun.

Qianqi stayed here for the time being.

She said: "Ben Shuai is going out to visit Xie Ji tonight."

Yelu Lili didn't ask her why she went at night, she can leave now, he just nodded.

The county authorities arrested the water households and fined them a large sum of money. They will pay all the compensation for slander and rumors and cutting off the water source.The water households paid the money obediently, and took the initiative to open the water source to the south water source.Even if Xie Ji was not in the original barracks.

The surviving warrior was still in the prison. Liu Jie asked a few words and said, "I'll let you out after the wind dies down."

This also counts as protecting the only witness.

Liu Jie quickly rushed to see Xie Ji, but Xie Fei Xie Chong, the lieutenant of the Xie family, refused to let them in, so Liu Jie had no choice but to put down his visit gift and left.

At this time, Xie Xiu took the initiative to accept the gift, and greeted Liu Jie: "The general is still unconscious, and everyone feels very unhappy without a leader, so I neglected you, please understand."

Liu Jie looked him over and said, "It's okay, I'm here today to see if Xie Ji has woken up, so I can have an explanation to Marshal Xie."

Speaking of Marshal Xie, Xie Xiu's eyes flashed inexplicably, and then Liu Jie said: "The day after tomorrow is His Excellency the crown prince's birthday, and General Xie is in a coma again. Marshal Xie just decided to come back today to preside over the overall situation. You don't have to worry about being leaderless."

Xie Xiu had a happy face: "The Marshal is coming back! That's great!"

When Xie Fei and Xie Chong heard this, they also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, as long as the marshal comes out, there will be nothing in the world that she can't solve."

"Yeah, maybe we can find out the black hand we played around."

"Farewell!" Liu Jie turned and left after listening.

Xie Xiu sent him all the way, and finally told the two brothers to take good care of General Xie.He's going to help out with some military affairs.

Xie Fei and Xie Chong nodded quickly and walked into the camp.

In the back hall of Yu Palace, Si Caifeng heard that her husband's birthday would be the day after tomorrow, so she ordered someone to pick out a piece of jade Ruyi from the dowry given by Tianjing.

Tianjing's dowry was locked in the treasury of Yu Palace, and only Yelu Li Li and the chief of the treasury had the keys.

Si Caifeng ordered someone to open the vault that day, and sent a few people there, but the director stopped them all.It is said that the vault cannot be opened without the order of His Excellency the Prince.

Si Caifeng didn't expect that she didn't even have this right, so she sent someone to ask Yelu Lili for instructions on the spot.The person on the front foot had just been sent out, but Yelu Li Li on the back foot ordered him to open a treasury for the princess.

After the vault was opened, Si Caifeng's people found Yu Ruyi and left.

The news reached Yelu Lili, and he specifically asked the subordinates who entered the vault if they saw anything different.

The men shook their heads without noticing.

Yelu Lili said to Xie Lanzhi, "It might not be in my treasury."

Xie Lanzhi was already planning to go out.She had sent Xie Ying out just now.Naturally, I am not interested in mentioning these things again: "Should I wait for my people to try it and find out?"

"If it succeeds, His Royal Highness will get a large fortune. On the contrary, I, Mrs. Xie, have worked the hardest and lost the most from the beginning to the end."

Seeing her complaining, Yelu Lili said: "I will pay for the construction of the barracks, and I will also thank the general as compensation."

"It's better to have your words. I don't want to waste time waiting."

It is said that Xie Ying came out from an unknown place, she went directly to a port after taking a boat, and then she thought that she was the captain of the Xie family, and went to watch Xie Ji. I have seen Xie Shi.

She left the barracks and went directly to visit Si Caifeng.

Si Caifeng thought that Marshal Xie had asked her to bring some message, so she hurriedly received her.

In the end, Xie Ying reminded her without saying a word: "Your Highness, you'd better go to another place to avoid it."

Si Caifeng was puzzled: "What do you mean, little general?"

"For your safety."

Xie Ying asked the direction of the treasury again, Si Caifeng pointed it out, Xie Ying immediately jumped onto the roof, and immediately met Yu Gong's master, she took out Yelu Li Li's iron plate, and the master retreated immediately.

Then Xie Ying walked directly to the roof of the vault, and took out gunpowder from her pocket. This is a failed product of the Ministry of Industry. It has little power but a lot of smoke. It can create fire smoke and disturb people's sight, so it is very popular with her.

She threw a handful of gunpowder on the roof, dropped the gunpowder, and immediately jumped off the roof.

The glazed tiles of the palace "buzzed" a lot of white smoke, and the people below screamed: "It's gone!"

"There is water near the vault!"

The director of the treasury immediately sent someone to extinguish the cigarettes, but he brought his own people to move out the contents of the treasury box by box.Xie Ying took the opportunity to sneak in and searched everywhere on the floor, walls, and beams, knocked, but found nothing unusual.

Until the director came in and wandered around the bookshelves.Xie Ying quickly locked there.

At the same time, Yelu Lili heard that the Yu Palace was on fire.

He couldn't wait to leave, Xie Lanzhi followed him by the way.The two went out from a cave full of stalactites in a small boat, and two fast horses were on the shore.

The two rode to Yu Palace one after another.

The director sent someone to move the things out, the smoke on the roof suddenly went out, the palace people managed to carry buckets of water, but it was of no use.It was a complete false alarm.

But the director's expression suddenly changed.

It was heard from outside the palace that His Excellency the Crown Prince left the customs ahead of time, worrying about the safety of the Crown Princess.

The director immediately said: "Move the things back."

They started to move again. The first wave of people hadn't entered yet, when there was a sudden bang, and there was a sound of explosion inside, as well as broken stones and thick smoke, choking everyone to put down their things and escape in a hurry.

The director's face turned pale immediately: "What's happening?!"

"Yes, it exploded!"

"Director, I don't know what exploded. What flammable items were put in the vault?" some guards asked one after another.

But the director's gaze was already dull, because an irregular round hole suddenly collapsed in the north wall of the treasury. The hole looked bottomless from the front, and the inside was pitch black, like the giant eye of the cold abyss.

A figure suddenly emerged from the hole in the wall like a monster, but it was indeed a person.It was Xie Ying.

The director suddenly clenched his fists and was about to call for someone to arrest her.

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes near the treasury. Yelu Lili arrived first. He saw the hole behind Xie Ying before he dismounted. His pupils shrank, and he looked at the director again. The director was scared out of his wits.

"Too, Your Excellency the Prince!"

Regardless of Yelu Lili opening his mouth, the owner of the horse behind you, Youzai Youzai, rode over, and she said to Xie Ying, "Did you dig out anything after drilling the hole for so long?"

"Like gold that looks like bricks?"

Xie Ying suddenly showed a smile, she raised her hands, indeed there were two gold bricks.

Yelu Lili's expression turned ugly.

He looked at the director again full of killing intent: "How dare you lie to me! Hid Su Ha's family property in my treasury!!"

"Your Excellency, things are not what you think, I, I can explain!" The director raised his hands and just knelt down.

Xie Lanzhi had already pulled up Yebai and handed it to Yelu Lili, and she couldn't help but smile: "I will lend you my commander's sword? Haha, you're welcome."

When Yelu Lili heard her ridicule, his face became even uglier, and finally he ordered the director to be arrested.

Then a group of soldiers went in from the treasury, and then came out from the hole behind Xie Ying, carrying out box after box of gold that was so heavy that it could be crushed to move bricks.

Xie Lanzhi even bent over on the horse, and made a visual inspection: "It looks like there are about a million taels of gold."

This number immediately shocked everyone!

One million gold is equivalent to 1000 million silver, and it takes five years to reach this financial position.It is even more so that Luochuan's treasury has been empty for three years. It is not an exaggeration to say that Suha is as rich as an enemy country.

Xie Lanzhi also specially reminded: "Your Excellency, I am afraid that this hole has been dug for some years."

Not a day's work.I'm afraid there are other inside stories in it, but she won't intervene in any matter.

But Yelu Lili said: "I dug this hole, I didn't expect that I haven't used it yet, but the traitor will use it first."

After finishing the words, he drew his waist knife and drove the horse closer to the kneeling director step by step.

The director looked up in horror: "Forgive, spare, I was also threatened, I..."

"Who threatened you?"

"I, I don't know, and I haven't seen it, but if I don't know who that person is, he won't give me the medicine, I..." The director didn't finish speaking, the knife flashed, and the director The corpses were separated and the heads fell to the ground.

Bright blood splattered the floor tiles.

Yelu Lili put away the knife, and said to Xie Lanzhi in a suppressed tone, "Is it time for the marshal to close the net?!"
