Chapter 264 Bandits?Is it the powerful?
The sword was indeed a very ordinary sword, about one tael of silver on the market, and it had already rusted to the point where the edge could hardly be seen.

Yang Su stood up and asked Tang Jian, "Are you sure there were only a thousand taels of silver and two swords in the cave, and nothing else?"

"The silver is one thousand and ten taels. I counted it several times before and after, and I remember it clearly! In addition, there are some letters and maps. Because of the moisture, the handwriting is hard to read. I threw them all away.

"About this, Yifang asked me just now, and this is what I just said in the future." He said to Fu Rong.

Fu Rongning raised her eyebrows: "Then are you sure that everything was damaged by moisture?"

"Sure." Tang Jian said, "Because it was all scattered in the pit, it was already wet, and even the silver was moldy, let alone the paper? When I pulled it out, it was rubbed badly."

As he spoke, he looked around and pointed to a pile of white stains not far away: "That's it."

The white stains are all over the bricks and soil. It can be seen that it used to be paper, but the writing has completely disappeared.

"Then do you remember what kind of letters they were?" Yang Su looked away.

Tang Jian lowered his head: "I forgot. At that time, I was in a panic and couldn't pay attention to it. But I still remember a few words here and there, including the mention of 'Huayang'.

"The handwriting is also very strong. It can be seen that the owner of the writing has read a lot of books. Moreover, the paper looks like good paper from Xuanzhou, but for some reason, these two swords look ordinary."

Huayang is a prefecture and county in Shaanxi, and it fits well with the official bank.

Fu Rongdao: "Since there is nothing important, and the letter seems to have a source, could it be possible that this money was robbed and placed here together with the luggage? If it has an owner, it is impossible to leave it here for many years without any loss. People care about it."

As he spoke, he said: "I guess that this group of gangsters didn't know what happened to them later, so they gave up their money and murder weapons and ran for their lives.

"It's just that for some reason they found out about my cousin. In the past, my cousin was staying in the Tang family, and they didn't dare to kill people. Now that they're in Wucheng yamen, they're planning to fish in troubled waters... It's precisely because they are bandits that they thought they would withdraw before they came here. So fast, I dare not take Xueniang away."

"It's not unreasonable," Ling Yuan said in a deep voice, "it's just that it's too early to conclude that they are gangsters."

Yang Su didn't express his opinion. He looked around, walked out of the temple, looked down the mountain, and said, "Go to the village to have a look."

Although it was four years later, Ling Yuan still remembered the journey. When he went down the mountain to the place where Changying was recuperating, he saw that there was a dog tied up in front of the house, and other people had already moved in.

It's just a house, and there's really nothing to see. Yang Su recalled that Changying had parted with him from then on, but he felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Fu Rong looked at the house, and then at the depressed Yang Su: "What's wrong with this house?"

Yang Su shook his head, and finally got on the horse without saying a word.

It was already dawn when we returned to the city.

Tong Qi and Xie Peng who arrived after hearing the news were first ordered to take Tang Jian back to Tang's house to collect the remaining official silver, and then escorted back to Wucheng Yamen.

Fu Rong wanted to go directly to the guard, parted ways on the street, and said goodbye to Yang Su: "Thank you, my lord, for your hard work on the affairs of the Tang family. When I return to the mansion next time, I will definitely explain it to my grandmother."

Yang Su returned the gift: "I'll come to the door some other day to ask the old lady about her well-being."

Ling Yuan walked with him for a while, then dismounted slowly and said, "What do you think about this?"

Yang Su reined in the horse: "Although what Fu Rong said is reasonable, and the bandits do have reasons for not showing their faces, but if they are bandits, I'm afraid they have no patience to detour from Xueniang's side.

"Since the assassination is possible today, he can also take advantage of Tang Jian to go out before, or directly take Tang Jian from Xueniang's place and ask for it."

Ling Yuan said: "This incident happened in Liuertun, although it may not necessarily be related to Lingdang's incident, it cannot be ignored."

Yang Su didn't say anything.

He doesn't need to say anything, but if he finds out, he will make this person suffer ten times the pain of the injury Changying suffered in the past!
Ling Yuan finally said: "The other party is hiding tightly, and it may not be possible to show up just because of Tang Jian. If you are not sure, I suggest not to startle the snake. After all, it is not ruled out that it was done by bandits."

After the hatchback is finished, the road is divided.

Changying got up early and sent Tan Yi a letter to Shaoqing, telling him that she would return to the camp to take up her post in three days.

Although the Tengxiang Guard has heavy responsibilities, it is not as hard as the guard under the Fifth Army Battalion. She only needs to be in the government office and dispatch troops, no problem.

Zhou Liang and the others didn't come back until dawn. Just after she had been exercising in the back garden, Zhou Liang couldn't wait to ask about what happened last night: "The specific situation is not clear, but last night Tang Jian explained that he was in Liuertun——

"It was the Liuertun that the boss sent me to Tongzhou to investigate, where he got a windfall by accident!
"In the middle of the night, the prince, Lord Hou and Gu Shizi took Tang Jian to Liuertun. I don't know what will happen next."

Changying was also taken aback when she heard about Liu Ertun.The matter of Tang Jian's quarrel with others seems to have nothing to do with the matter of her being murdered. Why is this...

"Did the prince say what he plans to do?"

"I haven't said anything yet. Mr. Xie only said that Haosheng is optimistic about Tang Jian."

Chang Ying thought about it, looked at the sky, and said to Zi Xiang: "Go to the palace and post a post saying that I will come to visit in the afternoon."

When the post was sent to the palace, Yang Su was looking at the clothes with the shopkeeper invited by Huo's shop, and there was also an old embroiderer with nimble eyes and hands.

"This is a brocade woven from Suzhou silk. Judging by the cuffs and neckline, it should not have been worn more than five times.

"Looking at the tailoring, the front and back are about the same length, it should be a high-spirited person, and most of these people are young people.

"And this sapphire blue color is also good-looking for young men to wear."

After looking through the clothes carefully, Xiu Niang said in a positive tone, "And this person is not low in stature, he should belong to a rich family with a good background."

"Can you tell how old the clothes are?" Yang Su asked calmly.

The embroiderer looked carefully, then exchanged glances with my shopkeeper, and said, "A piece of clothing is so old, at least ten or eight years. But look at the imprint on it..."

"What if it's stuck in a hole in the wall?" Yang Su asked again.

"I can't see it. But of course it won't take as long as ten or eight years." Xiu Niang said.

Yang Su fell silent.

When Changying entered the palace, he ran into the shopkeeper and Xiniang who came out.

After entering the Anqing Hall, Yang Su was sitting behind the table, fascinated by a piece of clothing.There were also a few moldy silver ingots on the table.

Changying wanted to call him, but he reached out and took the ingot of silver in his hand, and when he had finished his contemplation, he turned his head and looked over: "I went to Liuertun last night."

Changying nodded: "I heard it's that Liu Ertun?"
