Just when Chen Qingshan became famous in Hancheng, he was in an inn.
"Grandpa, do you think the lost 400,000 taels of embankment repair silver are related to the young man in Zuiyunfang?" A girl said to the grandfather next to her.
The girl's name is Cao Xiao'an, a Confucian cultivator of the First Realm, and the old man sitting next to her is named Cao Wen, a famous Confucian in Quzhou Prefecture, and a Confucian Cultivator of the Sixth Realm.
Cao Wen was an old friend of Zhou Mu, and this time he came to Hancheng to investigate the loss of banknotes for embankment repairs.
There is a water dike outside Hancheng, which can resist the flooding of water in the drinking water canal. If the water dike is broken, the entire Hancheng city will be swallowed up by the water from the drinking water canal. The 400,000 taels of embankment repair silver are used to repair the culvert.
Used for water embankments.
As a result, the silver coins were intercepted while being transported from the state capital to Hancheng.
Cao Wen was entrusted by the Prefectural Mufu to investigate the loss of the embankment silver.
As a result, on the night they arrived in Hancheng, they heard that a young man spent thirty thousand taels to save a fool and a shark from the East China Sea in Zuiyunfang in the city.
With such courage, even a relative of the emperor could only have this. It is hard to imagine that an unknown young man could do such a thing.
Not to mention Cao Xiaoan, even Cao Wen began to suspect that the young man was related to the disappearance of Xiudiyin.
"Let's investigate first." Cao Wen came to the window and looked at the flying snow in the sky. From a distance, he could see a tall water dike, and next to the water dike was an even taller footbridge.
In front of the culvert embankment and the overpass, this culvert city seems a bit small.
After leaving Zuiyunfang, Chen Qingshan looked at Leer curiously. This was the first time Chen Qingshan saw the sharks from the East China Sea.
She is beautiful and can walk on land, but there are some scales on her cheeks, dotted on her face. Under the light of the street lights, she looks like blue diamonds, which is very beautiful and has a strange beauty.
The injured Xihan was supported by Sanzang and Chang Xin. Anan took some elixirs and gave them to Xihan. He was no longer in serious trouble, and because of Xihan's special health, he recovered very quickly.
This is the benefit of strong Qi and blood. Let’s not talk about fighting. In terms of physical recovery, Xihan is simply top-notch. It is simply a walking medicine for Qi and blood.
Chen Qingshan found a large inn and asked for a courtyard, and the group settled down temporarily.
Soldiers and horses came outside the inn. The leader was a martial artist from the four realms, the head catcher who worked as an errand in the government office. Next to him was Sun Yao, the son of the Sun family.
"According to the order of the magistrate of Hancheng County, we are here to arrest the criminals in the embankment silver case!"
When Chen Qingshan and others went out, they saw that the small courtyard had been surrounded. They were also equipped with soldiers from the Tang Dynasty and Jackdaw Crossbowmen from the Shenji Battalion, but the formation was not as good as outside Tianlan Village.
In the case of the missing banknotes, the county government listed Chen Qingshan as the first suspect, and the one who prompted the county government to mobilize troops should be Sun Yao. This four-level warrior is Sun Jing, who is also Hancheng
The richest man in the Sun family is Sun Yao's uncle.
It was because of his dealings with the county magistrate that he got the documents so quickly and mobilized troops to arrest Chen Qingshan and others.
"Uncle, this is the man who gambled with me in Zuiyunfang and spent thirty thousand taels. If he was not related to the case of repairing the embankment, how could he have such wealth?"
"Please be more careful, sir." Sun Yao looked at Sun Jing with a smile, and then retreated behind him, with a cold light in his eyes.
"Take it!" Sun Jing waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rushed forward, and the jackdaw crossbows on the outside were also ready to go.
"Wait a minute, may I ask what crime you have committed?" Chen Qingshan bowed and asked.
"If you dare to do it but don't dare to admit it, won't you understand it when you get to the county government?" Sun Jing said.
Seeing that the man in front of him was determined to capture him, Chen Qingshan was not annoyed. He thought about it and said: "In that case, I will go to the county government office with you. But don't blame me for not reminding you.
It's easy to release someone, but it's difficult to release someone."
Sun Jing only regarded it as a threat from Chen Qingshan and didn't care at all. In Hancheng, his Sun family was the king, and there was no one he couldn't afford to offend.
"It's just a quick talk. I hope you can be so tough when facing the county magistrate when you get to the county government." Sun Jing said, and asked someone to put the shackles on Chen Qingshan and others.
"That's natural, but you don't have to put on the shackles. I don't feel happy about it. We just go with you to the county government office. Or do you think we can escape from you, a martial artist from all over the world?" Chen
Qingshan said again.
"Huh, you are quite sharp-tongued." Sun Jing snorted coldly, but did not let anyone continue to use the shackles.
"Still not leaving?" Sun Jing, who was in front and about to return to the county office, said coldly.
Chen Qingshan spread his hands and followed Anan and the others to see the so-called embankment repair silver case.
It is useless to come to Hancheng County Magistrate, there is no money at all, Chen Qingshan thought.
There is also this young man, whom Chen Qingshan met in Zuiyunfang. He must have just hated him, so he found his so-called uncle to kidnap him to the county government, and also tied him to the embankment repair silver case.
. Just let them know after a while that it is easier to invite God than to send Him away.
Looking at the jackdaw crossbowmen and Tang warriors next to him, Chen Qingshan had to sigh: "It's great to be an official."
Chen Qingshan knew in his heart that if he was just an ordinary person with a little money, the Hancheng County Magistrate would be eager to close the case.
By then, I'm afraid this so-called "Xiu Di Yin" case will really be his own doing, even if he doesn't even know what the "Xiu Di Yin" case is about.
After all, some people can indeed cover the sky with one hand, preventing even the gentle breeze and bright moon from entering.
The gate of the county government office is very large, and the wall is very high, so high that the skylight cannot be seen. No matter how busy the streets outside are, the sound cannot reach the county government office.
Chen Qingshan felt a little uncomfortable, and Leer was even trembling with fear. Fortunately, with A Nan's comfort, Leer calmed down.
As Chen Qingshan and others entered, the dim county government office was instantly lit with lights, and the flames flickered, making the faces of those sitting in the government office look a little cold.
The door of the county government office was quickly closed, and the white-faced county magistrate sitting on the desk was stunned.
"Ascending to the Hall!"
"Who is this person?" The white-faced magistrate stretched out his neck and asked, which made Chen Qingshan think of snakes inexplicably.
"Little citizen Chen Qingshan, next to me is my friend." Chen Qingshan stepped forward, bowed and said.
As for why you don't kneel down, that's because after you become a monk, there is no such thing as kneeling down. There is no reason for a dignified monk to kneel down casually.
Even when you meet the Holy Emperor, you only need to bow before you, and those who serve as officials in the court must have some level of cultivation. Later, the Tang Dynasty directly abolished the tradition of kneeling before officials.
"Okay, Chen Qingshan wants to ask you, are you related to the embankment repair silver case? If not, where did the money you spent in Zuiyunfang come from?" Bai Mian County Magistrate asked.
"I don't know what the embankment repair case is. As for the fact that the money I spent is my own, where does it come from?" Chen Qingshan asked rhetorically.
Naturally, Chen Qingshan couldn't reveal that the money belonged to the Son of the Ghost Punishing God of the Chaos God Sect, at least the Hanshui City County Magistrate in front of him was not qualified.
"There is a water dike outside Hancheng. The money for repairing the dike is the 400,000 taels of silver shipped from the state capital to repair the water dike. This money for repairing the dike was lost not long ago," said Sun Jing, the head catcher.
"So you two adults think that I took this silver? Then I ask the two adults, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, all states and counties, all the silver spent must be sealed in boxes and escorted by Tang warriors. A box of silver is generally
Five thousand taels, four hundred thousand taels is eighty boxes. If the boy took it, then the 30,000 taels of silver that the boy took out at Zuiyunfang should not be silver notes, but six boxes of real silver."
"How do you explain this, two adults?" Chen Qingshan said sarcastically.
Chen Qingshan mentioned an issue that everyone ignored. The lost embankment repair silver was official silver, and official silver was shipped in full boxes of real gold and silver, not silver notes.
At this time, both the white-faced county magistrate and the head catcher Sun Jing were in trouble.
"It shouldn't be this boy named Chen." Inside the county government office, a person was hiding in a corner. It was Cao Wen, a great scholar in the Sixth Realm. When Sun Jing went to arrest Chen Qingshan, Cao Wen got the news and hid in the county government office early.
Inside.
"Then who stole the embankment repair silver?" Cao Wen stroked his beard and thought.
Just as Cao Wen was thinking, a voice came out.
"It's also possible that you have exchanged the stolen money for banknotes on the black market?"
A red figure came out of the back room, it was the county magistrate's wife.
