Not long after, I met the carriage carrying special products. Mr. Jiang, the Minister of Household Affairs, was doing the liquidation.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Husbandry has been in charge of the affairs of the world's money and grain, and the difference in tribute.
Right now, they have to send the goods on the car to the warehouse of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is often called the treasury.
The treasury system is strict, and only treasury soldiers are allowed to enter when gold and silver are being escorted.
Before entering the treasury, the soldiers must take off all their clothes. After entering, there will be a long gown prepared for covering the body. After finishing the work, the soldiers must take off their clothes and then come out naked to prevent others from being kidnapped.
In addition, in order to prevent someone from pretending to be someone and sneaking into the state treasury, the soldiers have special badges and portraits, which can be said to be heavily guarded.
Liu Ruyan walked towards the Minister of Household Affairs first, crossed her hands and saluted: "The envoy of the Liao Kingdom was killed, the murderer fled here, and the general came to handle the case."
Mr. Jiang also just learned that the envoy was killed. He frowned slightly and motioned for Liu Ruyan and the others to come over.
But it doesn't seem right.
He had only heard of cases handled by Dali Temple. What kind of case could a general and a military attache handle?
Is the imperial court so involved?!!
"I suspect that the murderer is hiding among these soldiers. I hope Master Jiang can make it easier." Liu Ruyan whispered.
Master Jiang understands.
He quickly called the warehouse soldiers who were moving the goods and took a closer look at them one by one.
"These Ku soldiers deal with me all day long, and they are all familiar faces. Could it be that there is a mistake?"
Liu Ruyan didn't say a word. She opened the cargo box on the ground. However, there was no one hiding in the box.
Ye Xun couldn't help but say: "Maybe after killing a certain Ku soldier, the murderer took off his face and disguised himself as a Ku soldier?"
"That's wrong -" Liu Ruyan frowned, "Every appearance is born from the bones. Except for twins, everyone's bones are very different. You can't just take off someone's face and disguise yourself as the other person."
The appearance of a human skin mask is, after all, just a piece of skin.”
She paused, then continued: "The so-called disguise technique is just forging one's own appearance, but this is a delicate job. Even I can only say that it is an eighty-point resemblance."
In this case, the murderer is not Ku Bing.
Seeing that he couldn't catch anyone, Wu Guang began to look impatient: "Where is that bastard hiding? Where do you think he will be hiding?"
Liu Ruyan lowered her voice and whispered: "Since the murderer hid in the treasury, he naturally had to find a way to get out. There is only one exit here. Are you afraid that he won't be caught later?"
General Wu was silent. This guy must be a fox.
She smiled sincerely.
Liu Ruyan turned to the Minister of Household Affairs and said loudly: "It seems that there is indeed no one we are looking for here. We are really bothering Mr. Jiang. Keep going, keep going."
Then, she wandered around the yard like a leisurely stroll, seeming to be very interested in the specialties sent by the Liao Kingdom. From time to time, she would approach the box and take a look.
After the Ku soldiers had moved all the boxes in, Liu Ruyan was so surprised that she asked Wu Guang to leave.
"Host, look!" Ye Xun appeared with a face full of credit, raised his finger and said, "Six feet two!"
Liu Ruyan turned her head and saw the treasury gate, a six-foot-two figure wearing a guard uniform, with his head lowered, walking slowly with the team.
Sure enough it was him!
The Northern Han Dynasty where Liu Ruyan lived was heavily barbarized. Everyone from the nobles to the common people ate cattle and sheep. In addition, it was located in the north, so tall men could be seen everywhere. But those who could reach six feet two were still relatively tall.
rare.
Therefore, even if the man is hunched over and his head is lowered, you can still tell that he is tall.
Upon closer inspection, he found that the clothes he was wearing were inappropriate, and half of his ankles were exposed through his trousers.
Combining various flaws, it is enough to conclude that this person is no ordinary guard.
The six-foot-two man walked behind her, calmly and calmly.
Liu Ruyan was walking towards the other end, Wu Guang followed her without knowing why.
Suddenly, a white light passed by, and Wu Guang touched his waist.
Darling, his saber is missing.
The crowd started to riot, Liu Ruyan held a knife in front and stopped a guard in the team.
"Killing envoys and provoking conflicts between the two countries is quite a skill!" she shouted coldly.
Master Jiang also saw this strange man, and he hurriedly explained: "I have never seen this person before."
The murderer looked surprised, but soon calmed down.
He moved his fingers slightly, and a scimitar appeared in his sleeve, forming an arc from bottom to top, neutralizing Liu Ruyan's move.
Immediately afterwards, he struck again fiercely, attacking the vital points with every move.
Liu Ruyan's deflection of the blade, her strikes are like lightning, coupled with her extreme sword skills, she can defeat the opponent as long as he reveals any flaws.
She kept her steps steady, pressing on the man step by step, forcing the murderer to the corner, and the blade fell sharply. At this moment, she saw the man's left hand raised, and a cold light appeared on the palm of his hand.
Oh no, the murderer is a man with two swords!
Now that her offensive was over, she had no time to block it with her sword, so she could only dodge the attack by leaning slightly.
The scimitar in the man's hand kept chasing after her and struck at Liu Ruyan's life gate again.
"Where does this bastard come from, thinking that this general is a dead man?"
Wu Guang suddenly stepped forward, swung his iron fist angrily, and hit the man's arm with one punch. At the same time, he raised his leg, bent his knee, and hit the man's leg socket.
Although the murderer was good at assassination, when he met a fierce general who had experienced hundreds of battles and fought bloody battles, he felt that all his strength was released and he fell forward to the ground.
When it comes to physical skills, he is very capable, but when it comes to brute strength, he is beyond comparison.
He suffered a bit of pain, and when he stabilized his body, he quickly jumped up again, his body swayed, and he was standing on the wall in the blink of an eye.
The murderer plans to escape.
Liu Ruyan looked up at him and suddenly asked: "Did Shen Yanchu send you here?"
The man glanced at the "young man" standing below, his tone full of disdain: "Just him?"
She was a little surprised that the murderer was not Shen Yanchu's.
Killing envoys and stealing the treasury. In just a few days, two gangs appeared.
I just felt that there was a thread in my mind that was about to be connected. Suddenly, there was a roaring wind in my ears, and bursts of golden sounds came from it!
"Shuashuashua——"
An iron net suddenly dropped from the sky, and the man standing on the wall was covered over his head.
The man wanted to escape, but there was a metal ball on each of the four legs of the iron net. After it entangled the prey, it would quickly tighten. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break free.
He immediately gathered strength under his feet, jumped off the wall, and planned to escape with the net.
At this time, several more crossbow arrows were shot out of thin air. The force was so great that the man and the net were nailed to the palace wall.
Changes only happen in an instant.
Everyone turned around and saw a cavalry troop rushing out not far away. The man in black armor led the way. When he ran in front of Wu Guang, he reined in the rope, jumped on his horse, and performed a military salute.
"Deputy Commander of the Yulin Guards, I have met the General! I have met Deputy Lieutenant Liu!"
