Are the bandits so brave? They even dare to part with money and food for disaster relief?
The cavalry escorting the disaster relief money were definitely wearing official clothes and equipped with weapons. The fact that the other party could snatch the money away so cleanly showed that there must have been a sophisticated plan beforehand.
Five hundred thousand taels of silver!
Li Rui clenched his teeth.
This thing is life-saving money for the people affected by the disaster in Liangzhou.
"Take me to the scene to see..."
Li Rui's voice was cold and he tried his best to calm down. No matter who the other party was or what his background was, the food money for disaster relief could not be lost, even though this matter had nothing to do with him. Even if the court blamed him, he could not blame him.
At most, the escorting officials will be convicted on his own head.
However, the role of this money is too great.
It's so big that many of Li Rui's next things need to be carried out around these five hundred thousand. Being robbed now is equivalent to cutting off the livelihood of the people of Liangzhou, and also cutting off Li Rui's livelihood.
Li Rui tried his best to calm down his emotions.
"Quick, quick, what are you doing standing still? Lead the way!"
Su Changyu is also busy.
Heading eastward, we exited the Liangzhou border.
"How many people are escorting the money?" Li Rui asked the people around him.
"More than two thousand people in total!"
"How long did the battle last?"
"It was only half an hour after we passed. We all rested here and drank some tea, and then we felt unwell. Before we could recover, a large group of people came out. We were caught off guard. General Hu led us continuously
We fought hard, but we were unable to save our lives. General Hu, fighting to the death, sent me to go to Liangzhou to report the news."
The pioneer opened his mouth to answer.
Two thousand people escorted 500,000 taels of silver. Such a large amount of silver, even if converted according to our own world, would have weighed 25 tons. It could only be towed by being divided into several carriages. These two thousand people could also drag it.
He must be an elite soldier and a strong general.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to walk here from Kyoto in despair.
However, two thousand soldiers with well-equipped weapons and equipment could not hold on for even half an hour when they were poisoned?
Can bandits have such means?
Finally, Li Rui and his party arrived at a post station outside Liangzhou. The place was littered with corpses and devastated. He looked around carefully, and then observed carefully: "First, let's see if there is anyone alive! Save people.
important……"
The guards behind Li Rui hurriedly started searching.
However, at this moment, Li Hongyue suddenly raised her head, eyes alert, quickly drew out her bow and arrow, pointed at a dense forest in the west, and fired an arrow. The speed was so fast that Li Rui didn't even react.
"Is there anyone?" Li Rui asked.
Li Hongyue looked solemn and nodded: "He escaped!"
"Come here and have a look!" Li Rui waved.
The vanguard rushed out and turned back after a while.
He held up a broken jade pendant in his hand and said, "I didn't see anyone, I just found this broken jade pendant under a tree!"
Li Hongyue took the jade pendant and weighed it in the palm of her hand: "The workmanship of this jade pendant is very fine. There are very few people in the world who can master this kind of craftsmanship. Most of them are carried in deep palaces and courtyards."
!”
Li Rui glanced at Li Hongyue.
"The most important thing now is to find money, other things can be put on hold for now!" Li Rui clenched his fists lightly. Although Liangzhou seems to have gradually stabilized, in fact it is still on the verge of collapse. If not
With a sum of money, Liangzhou may not be able to survive for a month!
Now that he finally saw hope, Li Rui naturally wanted to hold on tightly.
The carriage has long since disappeared.
"It will take us less than an hour to get here from Liangzhou. Plus the time it takes for him to deliver the letter..." Li Rui kept thinking in his mind while observing the ruts on the ground, which were heading north.
Going north here, you have to pass through a lot of places along the way.
And there are passes there.
Only then can you leave the realm of Dazhou, and even if you want to return to the mountains, such a large amount of money will be a burden!
"Prince Qi..."
At this time, one of the guards came over with a dignified look in his eyes: "There were more than two thousand people, not a single one survived. This group of people was extremely cruel. When they left, each of them had several wounds on their bodies.
It’s only after you’re sure you’re dead that you become powerful!”
"..."
Li Rui took a deep breath.
Force yourself to calm down.
"Where's the silver?"
"I didn't see it. It must have been taken away by someone in a carriage!" The guard said softly: "Send scouts to notify all the major stations and passes. Five hundred thousand taels of silver cannot disappear silently. Since they want to
If you transport money, you will definitely leave clues!"
"yes!"
The guard nodded hurriedly.
"Where's General Hu?" At this time, Li Rui glanced at the vanguard officer beside him and said, "Let's see if there is any trace of General Hu among these corpses!"
Now we can only hope that General Hu has escaped pursuit.
Didn't die here.
"Yeah!" The pioneer officer looked grave, ignored others, and began to search nearby.
After a long time, he returned to Li Rui and said, "I would like to inform you, Prince Qi, that General Hu's body was not found. General Hu may have escaped death!"
"Um!"
Li Rui nodded, it was good news among the bad news.
But he still had many doubts in his heart.
I kept searching around the entire inn, and found all kinds of clues. When I returned to the inn, I found several corpses in the cellar of the inn, and their clothes had been stripped off.
I think these should be the original people of the inn.
The purpose of these bandits staying here is very clear, just for these 500,000 taels of silver. But where did they know that these 500,000 taels of silver would pass through this place?
The court provided disaster relief.
Even I just received the news a few days ago.
This group of people had to get the news and make preparations in such a short period of time, and they also had to stay here.
"wrong!"
Li Rui took a deep breath and said after a moment: "This five hundred thousand taels of silver was lost in a strange way!"
"What's wrong?"
At this time, Li Hongyue asked softly.
"We should send out time to look for the car's tracks to the north now, maybe we can catch up!" Li Hongyue reminded.
Li Rui shook his head.
"There are so many cars and five hundred thousand taels of silver. If they are forced to transport them away, they won't be able to go very far." Li Rui's voice was very soft: "Moreover, to the north of this place is Fushan Pass! It is heavily guarded there. If
Are you a robber? Are you stupid enough to go there and throw yourself into a trap?"
"Won't……"
Li Hongyue thought carefully, shook her head and said: "So you mean, these introductions are just to deceive others?"
