Chapter 179 Let me help you figure out the case

"At that time, the entire Jiangnan Dao waters were in turmoil." Li Zhoumu couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the past, "Because of the gold theft, many people were implicated."

"But in the end, the 800,000 taels of gold were never recovered. There was no trace of the stolen ship at any major pier or ferry."

"The matter just slowly fell silent."

Li Zhoumu couldn't help sighing when he said this, "It was at a critical moment when we were fighting the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the court originally wanted to collect these 800,000 taels of gold to use as military supplies!"

"Just disappeared like that." Li Zhoumu shook his head again and gradually lowered his voice, "Because of this matter back then, even the world was implicated."

"The imperial court has learned from the experience and feels that the 800,000 taels of gold were most likely robbed by some powerful Jianghu man."

"So there was a big purge of the world. In short...this major gold case caused shocks in the court and the world."

"Then the eight hundred thousand taels of gold never appeared again?"

"Not only that, but even the robbers who stole 800,000 taels of gold have not been caught so far." Li Yantong shook his head and sighed.

"At that time, the imperial court urgently summoned goldsmiths and silversmiths from all over the country and explicitly prohibited them from helping to melt gold and sell stolen goods, otherwise the whole family would be executed. Even so, some people would take risks."

"Sir, you know that now our gold and silver craftsmen have to register one by one before they can operate, and the management is very strict. But twenty years ago, there was constant chaos, so have these 800,000 taels of gold been melted down? The refining has been spent long ago, no one knows.”

"That's it. Thank you, Master Li, for informing me about this." Yu Linlang nodded and thanked her sincerely.

Then he looked at the two poisonous people who were languishing on the ground and said, "I think I should figure out the true origin of this troupe."

Li Yantong was stunned and followed her gaze to look at Lao Ma and the other two.

Everyone is already familiar with the little man and old horse.

But no one was impressed by the lean and short man next to him.

He was obviously a member of the theater troupe, but this person seemed to be invisible, as if he had never appeared in front of others.

"Master Zhu, don't pretend to be asleep over there, come over and chat together." Yu Linlang smiled and looked at the leader of Zhu's class who was leaning on the rock on one side, and laughed rudely, "Normal people don't breathe like you during sleep. "

"Master Zhu, don't you want to pretend to sleep in front of a group of martial arts masters?"

"It's okay to keep pretending." Yu Linlang took out a pack of needles from the knitting bag and slowly took out one of them, "I can help you wake up quickly."

Leader Zhu quietly opened his eyes, sat up slowly, and after a while he slowly got up, and cupped his hands towards Yu Linlang and others, "I don't know what you want to talk to me about."

Yu Linlang smiled and said, "I have nothing to do now, why don't I give you a rundown of the case?"

"The whole story starts with the gold robbery twenty years ago."

Everyone looked at her with confused expressions. Yu Linlang waved to everyone, "Come on, let's sit in a circle."

She also took out three packages of melon seeds and two packages of peanuts from the woven bag, and distributed them to the melon-eating people with great enthusiasm. "The two boxes of food previously provided to Mr. Huang were basically dry meat noodles, but now there are only some pastries and snacks left around. Let’s all just eat.”

When Mrs. Yu heard that there were melon seeds and peanuts, her waist was not sore, her legs were not hurting, and the red fruits in her hands were no longer fragrant. She quickly asked her granddaughter Yu Pianpian to help her up and listen to the story.

The crowd formed two circles, inside and outside, blocking the entire troupe inside.

Yu Linlang looked at the silent leader Zhu and said, "Master Zhu, the predecessor of your theater troupe must have been water bandits."

Governor Muyu of Lizhou looked surprised and stared at the cold-faced leader Zhu.

The leader of the class was unprepossessing in appearance. Whenever he saw anyone, he had a humble expression on his face, his waist and back were hunched, as if he was always shrinking.

But looking at him now, I somehow feel that this person's temperament has changed drastically. When he looks at people, he doesn't have a low eyebrow and a cold look on his face. "I wonder if there is any evidence for what Mr. Yuhu said. Although you are a high-ranking official in the imperial court, you cannot frame me and other common people without any reason."

"Of course there is evidence." Yu Linlang chuckled and nodded, "You have done so much, poisoning and scuttling the boat. The hallucinogenic poisonous mist is eager to kill a whole boat of people. For what?"

"I really couldn't figure it out at first. There must be a motive for killing. Not for love, not for money, not for revenge, so why?"

"Because you want to seize the ship."

"Then the question is, what are you doing to seize the ship?"

Yu Linlang smiled, "You went to great lengths to throw away all the food and change the sailing direction just to get closer to this desert island."

"Master Zhu, guess what I found after walking around this deserted island twice?"

Leader Zhu's brows, which were still calm at first, jumped involuntarily, and he looked up at Yu Linlang almost in disbelief.

Zheng Haojie, the deputy leader of Feitian God Cult, raised his eyelids and looked at it, then lowered his eyes in silence.

"Guess what I found."

Everyone was really frowning and thinking while eating melon seeds.

Li Zhoumu was the quickest to react. He almost jumped up but was grabbed by Governor Yu.

"What's wrong, Mr. Li?"

Li Zhoumu asked with a trembling voice, "Mo, could it be? Is it what I thought, Master Yuhu?"

Yu Linlang nodded gently to him, encouraging him to speak out loud.

"gold?"

"Yes, it's gold!"

"What gold?" Jade Governor looked confused.

However, Li Zhoumu stood up excitedly and circled back and forth, "Gold? Is it really gold? Lord Yuhu, are you sure? Is it the gold from the gold robbery twenty years ago?"

If the gold from twenty years ago is really found, then he, he, them, and everyone present will be indispensable!

Li Zhoumu's expression became more and more excited. When he turned to look at the confused Jade Governor, he coughed slightly and calmed down his emotions. "Does the Jade Governor know about the Bianhe Gold Robbery twenty years ago?"

"Ah, Master Li is talking about the first batch of grain taxes collected by Jinling Mansion?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

"I've heard a little bit about this, my official." Jade Governor felt his heart pounding, and his face couldn't help but suppress his blush, "What do you mean, Lord Jade Fox?"

"Gold! Master Jade Fox said that gold is on this island!"

The jaws of everyone eating melon almost dropped to the ground, and they all stared at the troupe in the middle of the field with wide eyes.

"He, them?" Mrs. Yu's voice was hard, "Really? Those robbers back then?"

As soon as the words fell, all the melon-eaters got up one after another and subconsciously took a few steps back, trying to stay away from the danger zone.

"That's not true." Yu Linlang shook her head, "The Golden Case happened twenty years ago. At least these actors and actresses aged seventeen or eighteen must not be robbers."

The dozen or so actors with pale faces breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
