The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

What is a problem with gold?

Gu Shiwei's heart skipped a beat. She had only been in Bianjing for a few days, and the number of dead people hitting her on the head was more than the number of days she had lived!

It’s not like you’re spreading pancakes, why are you just one piece after another? Before you finish this piece, the next piece is in your mouth?

She thought about it, took the ingot of gold, bumped it in her hand, and turned it over a few times.

The gold was of excellent color, with two ends shaped like ax blades, and a small, thin waist in the middle, which was flat and flat.Some of the inscriptions on it are scratched and cannot be clearly seen, but it can be vaguely seen that in the 26th year of Shenghe... Yangzhou... Liuliang Zheng.

"This is official silver," Gu Shiwei said with certainty. Her expression changed slightly as she thought about Chu Liangchen's words just now.

He bumped the gold ingot in his hand again, walked to the torch and examined it carefully, making a guess in his mind.

"In the 26th year of Shenghe, Yangzhou used official ships to escort the tax bank through the canal to Kyoto. On the way, they encountered heavy fog, causing two official ships to collide and sink into the river. The water in that area was fast and it was difficult to salvage. Local officials worked for half a month. , got nothing, can only let it go.”

"The big question you are talking about is that you think this gold ingot is the official silver that sank to the bottom of the water at that time?"

Chu Liangchen nodded heavily, his voice a little hoarse, "It must be the Guan Yin who sank at the bottom of the water back then."

His tone was solemn and determined, "Because in the 26th year of Shenghe, that is, four years ago, I helped fish out the official silver on the canal."

"At that time, I was quite famous on the water, so I was nicknamed Baihe Lao. Before I went into the water, the government showed us a picture post, which showed the appearance of the batch of official silver, and the inscription on it was exactly the same."

"There are two kinds of gold ingots, one is six taels, and the other is 12 and a half taels."

Gu Shiwei listened thoughtfully. The official silver was indeed engraved with detailed inscriptions, indicating the year, where and why it came from, and the weight of one ingot. It was clear and easy to enter. Library.

"Among the water ghosts who entered the water at that time, I was the only one who reached the bottom and saw the wooden boxes containing money that rolled over from the boat. After I opened one box, I immediately closed it again."

As Chu Liangchen spoke, his throat became increasingly dry.

Even Jing Li, who was standing on the bow of the boat, couldn't help but turn his head to listen to what he said next. He had a premonition that another hole was going to be poked in the sky of Bianjing City!
Whatever!This day has long been a sieve!
"There was no piece of gold in that box at all. It was all big rocks. I knew the sky was going to fall, but I was just a fisherman. How dare I do anything about it?"

"So I just followed the crowd and said that I didn't go to the end and confused the matter. That's why the ingot of gold appeared..."

Gu Shiwei instantly understood the horror Chu Liangchen felt when he saw the inscription on the gold ingot.

There was so much gold, and Sheng He had been there for 30 years, so why did the life money handed over to him be the official money that had happened.

Was it really an accident that he was chosen to be the executioner?
Could it be that the mastermind behind the exchange of official silver was testing Chu Liangchen?
In fact, he didn't need to test him at all. He had already prepared to kill people and silence them, and then he could just recover the ingot of gold.

"If they can find me the first time, they can find me the second time! We simply can't leave Bianjing alive. So we discussed with Xiaojing that the most dangerous place is the safest place. We pretended to be dead and hid under that house .”

"Wait until the situation calms down, and then sneak away in the dark. Come here today, I know that Wang Quan's death has been discovered. If you don't leave, I'm afraid I will be caught by the government, and I won't be able to leave again. So..."

Gu Shiwei hummed softly when he heard this.

She expected that Chu Liangchen, who was hiding underground, would leave. In order to be able to track him, Gu Shiwei specially took the piece of paper money that had been placed in the house for a long time and gave it to Jing Li.That guy had a nose that was more sensitive than a dog's, and Chu Liangchen could track him whenever he moved.

Moreover, it is safer to take the dark waterway, which will not alert anyone at all. The canal is connected to the Yong'an River at one end. If they squat at this junction, they can also squat down to Chu Liangchen who is escaping.

Sure enough, everything was as he expected.

Gu Shiwei thought about it and asked a huge doubt in Chu Liangchen's plan, "Why are you still carrying this ingot of gold? If this thing is as you said, then it is a talisman. Those people are not only trying to I’ll kill you and take back this thing.”

"Even if they learn that you are dead, they will go to your residence to search for this gold ingot. Doesn't this put you in great danger?"

Chu Liangchen was not a brainless person if he could come up with an escape plan.

He couldn't have thought of this!

It can only be said that he thought of it, but he had to do it.

Gu Shiwei thought about the sky-high price of Baoning Pills and sighed softly, "Because of Baoning Pills?"

Chu Liangchen smiled honestly, "Yeah. I'm afraid I'll never earn another gold ingot."

Wang Jing, who was sitting aside with sugar in his mouth, couldn't bear it any longer and began to cry, "Sister Gu, I beg you, please let us leave Bianjing and just pretend that you have never caught Brother Liangchen, okay?" ? Just look at it, just look at it, we all escaped death, okay?"

Gu Shiwei took out a handkerchief from her arms and threw it to Wang Jing, but her eyes kept looking at Chu Liangchen.

"Wipe your tears. I can take Wang Jing in and treat him."

Chu Liangchen was startled, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed three times to Gu Shiwei.

"Thank you, sir. Xiaojing will be entrusted to you. Kill someone to pay for your life. If you are willing to die now, please do so."

As he spoke, there was a needle in his hand. He raised his hand and was about to plunge it into his neck. The silver needle touched the scabbard and made a clear sound of metal collision. "It would be too cheap to die now." . If you do one thing for me, consider it as my reward for taking Wang Jing in."

Chu Liangchen's hand holding the silver needle dropped, and he nodded solemnly, "I will obey your arrangements."

"You killed Wang Quan. According to Dayong's law, killing must be paid with life. But the law is strict, but the law is forgiving. Being sentenced to death does not mean that you will die."

Gu Shiwei said with stern eyes, "According to usual cases, one in ten people sentenced to death will die. If the punishment is too harsh, then some civil servants who advocate the rule of man will come to the government and scold it for its abuse." punishment."

"If you go to Kaifeng Mansion to surrender, you will most likely be sentenced to exile. At that time, I will work for you and let you go to the exile of Wang Jing's relatives."

When Wang Jing heard this, her lips kept trembling. She stared at Gu Shiwei with red eyes, unwilling to even blink, for fear that the shining golden girl in front of her would disappear in an instant. Then he discovered that it was all just a dream.

"However, what I want you to do is not to find Wang Jing's relatives. It is to entrust a person to you and ask you to take care of him on the way to exile."

"That man's name is Chen Shenji, and he is a crossbow machine craftsman."
