Chapter 723 Ma Yue Tanxi
The Ministry of Revenue Taicang was the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, divided into two parts: Taicang Grain Deposit and Taicang Silver Deposit. The Taicang Grain Deposit was located in the capital and Tongzhou, and was generally called Jingcang and Tongcang. The so-called "the reserves of the capital are all in Taicang"; while the Taicang Silver Deposit is located in the capital, and is generally called Taicang and Taicang Silver Deposit.
Taicang Silver Library said it is located in Beijing, but based on the considerations of flood control, waterproofing, theft protection and safety, the location is still much remote.
Zhu Ping'an and Gao Rui were on the way to Taicang Silver Deposit.
"Last year, the Ministry of Industry has repaired the city wall, and I was ordered to come to Taicang Silver Deposit to collect the material silver. After walking a stick of incense, I am familiar with this section of the road, so Lord Zhu doesn't have to worry."
Gao Rui, a doctor in the Department of the Ministry of Industry, lowered his horse's speed slightly, stretched out his horse's whip and pointed at the distance, and said to Zhu Ping'an.
"Then I'll be the one who will be the one who will lead the way." Zhu Ping'an rode on the black horse of Shamat and thanked Gao Rui.
Of course, even without Gao Rui's guidance, Zhu Ping'an could find the location of the Taicang Silver Deposit. After taking over the errand of inspecting the Taicang Silver Deposit, Zhu Ping'an had already checked the relevant classics and had already remembered the location of the Taicang Silver Deposit.
"Mr. Zhu, you are polite." Gao Rui smiled cheerfully, slowly and slowly with the horse's belly, and walked side by side with Zhu Ping'an, reminding Zhu Ping'an, "Taicang Silver Deposit is the national treasury of my Ming Dynasty. The defense is very cautious. Can Zhu Ping'an bring relevant documents? If there are no relevant documents, I am afraid that we will talk a lot and they will not let us in."
"Since I took the errand, I have been carrying the relevant documents close to my chest." Zhu Ping'an patted his chest and said.
"Haha, it's reassuring to work with Lord Zhu." Gao Rui highly praised Zhu Ping'an after hearing this.
Zhu Ping'an naturally said modestly.
"Oh, by the way, last time I went to Taicang Silver Deposit to collect materials and silver, I heard something strange. You said that Taicang Silver Deposit is very cautious and can't even fly in, but there was still a theft case." Gao Rui said while riding his horse.
When Zhu Ping'an heard about the theft case in Taicang Silver Deposit, he couldn't help but be very interested. He approached Gao Rui and listened carefully with interest.
"The incident happened about the year before yesterday. One year it rained heavily in our capital. Many places in our capital had flooding. Of course, Taicang Silver Deposit had been prepared for this situation when selecting the site. The site was selected at a high place and there were a variety of water conservancy measures to prevent flooding. However, I didn't expect that the reservoir area still had two fingers of deep rainwater. Logically speaking, it was not necessary. So the relevant officials of Taicang Silver Deposit began to check various water conservancy measures and found that the drainage hole was blocked." Gao Rui said slowly, "Since the drainage hole was blocked, we had to quickly clear it to prevent the flooding from eroding the silver deposit. You guess what was discovered when dredging the drainage hole?"
"Oh, what did you find?" Zhu Ping'an asked curiously.
"When dredging the drainage hole, two corpses were found. They were heads on their heads, and there were two ingots of gold ingots in the middle of their heads." Gao Rui stretched out his two fingers and said.
"Are they two thieves? People die for money, and birds die for food." Zhu Ping'an was clear, but he was still a little puzzled. Why did these two thieves die in the drainage cave? Is it because the division of spoils is uneven?
"Mr. Zhu is worthy of being the top scholar, and he guessed it in one go." Gao Rui praised.
Zhu Ping'an touched his nose and smiled bitterly. You had a theft just now, and it was obvious that the thief was in the drainage hole.
"Yes, these two are thieves, and they died at the burglary scene. As for the head above, that's interesting. It turned out that one of the thieves wanted to go to Taicang Silver Cut to steal Kuyin, but due to the strict control of Taicang Silver Cut, he tried all kinds of methods and could not get in, so he had to put his mind on the drainage hole. However, the drainage hole was designed with this in mind, and the design was relatively narrow, but the thief was originally thin and ruthless. He was hungry for two days and tried his best to squeeze into the drainage hole. His clothes were worn out and his whole body was bleeding, which really made him squeeze in.
After the thief tried his best to squeeze into the silver treasury, he was lucky. After entering, he found two gold ingots. The thief was so happy that he knew that he could not be too greedy, so he took the two gold ingots and placed them on top of his head and drilled back through the drainage hole.
Unfortunately, his good luck had run out and it was over. Just as he was halfway through, he found that there was a man on the other side who had crawled in. This was another thief. He also wanted to climb into the silver warehouse from the drainage hole to steal silver. Unexpectedly, someone had already taken the lead, so the two thieves encountered each other in the drainage hole.
The drainage hole was too narrow and climbed upside down, but it was still hard to get rid of its body before climbing in. Climbing backwards was even more impossible. The drainage hole was narrow and could not turn around. The two of them died in the drainage hole with their heads on their heads, holding two ingots of gold ingots.
If it weren't for heavy rain and the drainage hole was blocked, the officials of the bank depositary asked someone to dredge the drainage hole, but they could not find these two thieves. I don't know how many years these two people would be inside. You said, why bother and forth, what's wrong with doing? You have to be a thief..."
While leading the way, Gao Rui preached to Zhu Ping'an in a loud voice, ridiculing and sighing at the two thieves' experience.
yes.
But wealth is touching.
Zhu Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly. Through the story, Zhu Ping'an discovered the problem. These two thieves stole two large ingots of gold and died in the drainage ditches for so long. The Taicang silver warehouse has not been found to be stolen for a long time? The two large ingots of gold are not small quantities.
It seems that the Taicang silver warehouse is strictly guarded only to the outside world, and there are many internal management problems. If the management is as strict as the alert, two ingots of gold will disappear, so why didn’t they notice it for a long time? It was not until it rained heavily and accumulated water.
"Mr. Zhu, after passing the ditch in front, the Taicang Silver Deposit is close to you. I know there is a small road that can pass through the ditch. Master Zhu, please follow me. Brother, I will go ahead and lead the way first, and drive..."
Gao Rui stretched out the horse whip and pointed to a deep ditch in front of him and said. As he said that, Gao Rui lifted the reins from left to right, waved the horse whip with his right hand, increased the horse speed and rushed forward.
"Go, go, go..."
Gao Rui's horse-driving sound was accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, and he almost reached the state of unity of man and horse, and he rode faster and faster.
Swing the whip and pull the reins.
He is so romantic and arrogant, and he is as arrogant as a tiger.
If Gao Rui abandoned his literature and followed the martial arts, he would definitely be a tiger general who galloped on the battlefield.
Zhu Ping'an followed Gao Rui closely behind, but his riding skills were not as good as Gao Rui, and the Dark Horse of the Mat was not as good as Gao Rui's big horse, so he was soon pulled away by Gao Rui.
"This path is a bit narrow, Lord Zhu, be careful." Gao Rui's voice came from the front.
"Thank you, Lord Gao, for your reminder." Zhu Ping'an thanked Gao Rui's back.
Gao Rui jumped on the horse and whipped it, showing his superb riding skills. When Zhu Ping'an rode his horse to the small road, Gao Rui was about to rush through the ditches.
When he was about to cross the ditch, Gao Rui pulled the reins of the horse and jumped over, which was quite like Liu Bei's horse jumping over Tanxi.
Horses fly
Well
The person flew away too
I don't know if it was because of the horse's stumble or some reason, but when he was about to jump into the ditch, Zhu Ping'an heard a neighing sound of the horse, and then he saw Gao Rui and the horse under him fall into the ditch all at once.
There was a loud bang.
The next second, one man and one horse were already at the bottom of the ditch. One of Gao Rui's legs was still pressed by the horse, and both the man and the horse looked painful...
All right.
