Jin Yiwei is on duty, signing Fengshen Legs at the beginning

Not yet.

A fast horse galloped over and stopped in front of the Jinyiwei Yamen. A man in a guard uniform jumped off the horse, raised his hands to the school captain guarding the gate and said urgently:

“I am the bodyguard of Lord Governor. I have something urgent to ask to see Lord Qianhu!”

When the guard in Jinyi heard this, he did not dare to neglect and took the guard to the lobby to report.

Take the guard to the lobby.

The guard knelt down on one knee, bowed his hands and said:

“The guards under the governor of Suzhou are paying homage to Mr. Qianhu!”

Niu Qianhu raised his hand and said: “No courtesy! Why did you come to see me?”

The guard said: “The Governor has an urgent letter to submit to Lord Qianhu.”

After that, he stood up and took out a letter from his arms and presented it.

The school captain took the letter from the guard and stepped forward to present it to Niu Ren.

Niu Ren took the envelope, but saw that it read “Jinyiwei Niu Qianhu personally expresses it.”

Niu Ren tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper, shook it open and read it.

Immediately, his expression changed slightly, he stood up and shouted:

“Command, everyone gather at the school grounds!”

“Yes, sir!”

Several captains left in a hurry.

After a while.

Jinyiwei school grounds.

Several hundred Jin Yiwei lined up and stood in line. Except for some of the Jin Yiwei who were out, all the Jin Yiwei in the yamen were present.

Huang Shaojie and Xiao Qiuyue were also among them.

Seeing Niu Qianhu’s solemn expression, everyone secretly guessed what happened.

Niu Qianhu suddenly summoned all the Jinyi guards urgently. It was obvious that some major case must have occurred.

Niu Ren glanced at the hundreds of uniformed guards lined up below and said in a deep voice:

“Yesterday, the 300,000 taels of tax money escorted from Suzhou to the capital were robbed in Gutuoling, and all the 500 officers and soldiers escorting the tax money were killed!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Three hundred thousand taels of tax money were robbed?

What kind of thief dares to be so bold and openly rob the imperial court?

Huang Shaojie also opened his mouth. Good guy, is this world so chaotic? In broad daylight, he robbed the imperial court of 300,000 taels of tax money and killed 500 sergeants.

Isn’t this the rhythm of rebellion?

“Eleven and Twelve will stay at the Yamen, and everyone else will follow this Qianhu to the location of the crime!”

Niu Ren shouted loudly, then got on his horse, led three to four hundred Jinyiwei on horseback, and galloped out of the Jinyiwei Yamen and galloped towards the west city of Suzhou.

After exiting the West Gate of Suzhou, we drove along the official road leading to the capital.

An hour later, we arrived at Gutuoling.

Gutuoling is located about fifty miles west of Suzhou City. There are continuous mountains on both sides, with a radius of dozens of miles.

The official road leading to the capital passes through Gutuoling.

At this time, there were already thousands of officers and soldiers on the official road in Gutuoling, as well as hundreds of fast-moving government officials.

On the road, hundreds of corpses of Dachu soldiers were lying in random directions. Some had their heads cut off, and some had their internal organs disemboweled and spilled on the ground. Their deaths were extremely miserable, and the entire official road was dyed red with blood. It has dried to a dark purple color.

Luo Dayong, the governor of Suzhou, looked at the corpses of soldiers on the ground with an angry look on his face.

“What kind of thieves are so brazen that they dare to openly kill officers and soldiers and rob the imperial court? It’s really outrageous!”

The prefect Liu Changqing and several subordinate officials all looked extremely ugly. These civil servants had never seen such a tragic scene. Some of them could not help but vomited on the spot.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, all the officials looked up, only to see Niu Ren leading the way, leading hundreds of royal guards in galloping over.

Niu Ren came to the scene and got off his horse. Huang Shaojie and others also got off their horses.

Seeing the Jin Yiwei people coming, Governor Luo led the officials to greet them.

“Master Niu.” Governor Luo bowed his hands to Niu Ren.

The governor is a high official in the border area, equivalent to the governor of a province and the commander of a military division. He is in charge of the military and political power of a province and is a high official of the third rank of the imperial court.

But even so, Governor Luo was still very polite when he met Niu Ren, a member of the fifth rank of Jinyiweizheng.

“The official has seen Niu Qianhu!”

Magistrate Liu and several of his officials bowed respectfully to Niu Ren.

“Lord Governor.” Niu Ren returned the favor to Governor Luo, frowned and pointed at the corpses of soldiers on the ground, and asked: “How and when was this batch of tax money robbed?”

Governor Luo sighed and said: “According to the itinerary, they should have been robbed yesterday afternoon. Yesterday, the Japanese officials dispatched a captain to select 500 elite soldiers and escort the 300,000 taels of tax money to Beijing. They set off at 6 o’clock in the morning. It will be around afternoon time when we get here.”

Niu Ren glanced at the officials and asked, “Who discovered that this batch of official money had been robbed?”

A small county magistrate stepped forward and bowed his head and said: “Back to Niu Qianhu, a merchant passing by discovered it and came to the Yamen this morning to report the matter. The lower official saw that the case was serious.

, and quickly reported it to the prefect. ”

Magistrate Liu cupped his hands and said, “When I heard that hundreds of officers and soldiers were killed, I was horrified! So I took people to check, cordoned off the scene, and sent someone to inform the governor.”

Governor Luo said: “When I heard that hundreds of officers and soldiers were killed, I couldn’t help but feel a little bit in my heart. I was worried that the tax money had been robbed, so I came to check in person. It turned out that it was the 500 soldiers I sent to escort the tax money.”

Although Governor Luo has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, to find the robbers, the Jinyi Guards must come to investigate the case.

Niu Ren asked: “How are the martial arts skills of these five hundred soldiers sent by the governor?”

Governor Luo said: “The officer in charge of the escort, Ma Duwei, is a master of the fifth level of Xiantian realm. He also has two school lieutenants and eight guards, all of whom have reached the early stage of Xiantian’s martial arts. The five hundred soldiers were also selected. The elite soldiers are all warriors who have reached the acquired first level or above.”

“I thought that there would be no problem in escorting the 300,000 taels of tax money to Beijing with such a force. After all, this is a time of peace and prosperity. Who dares to kill officers and soldiers to steal official money? I never thought that there are such bold thieves. !”

Huang Shaojie listened on the sidelines and couldn’t help but marvel in his heart!

A captain at the fifth level of Xiantian Realm, along with ten captains and guards at the first level of Xiantian Realm, and five hundred soldiers who all reached the level of warrior, were all killed!

This group of robbers who robbed official banknotes are by no means ordinary robbers!

Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts, but they must also be numerous in number.

Otherwise, just transporting away the three hundred thousand taels of silver would not be an easy task.

Niu Ren glanced at the corpses of officers and soldiers on the ground and asked:

“Is there anyone alive? Have you counted the bodies? Are all the five hundred officers and soldiers among them? Are there any corpses of the robbers among them?”

Magistrate Liu said: “I asked the police to count the corpses. There are 511 corpses in total, all wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers. No corpses of the robbers were found.”

Huang Shaojie secretly calculated that one captain, two captains, eight guards, plus 500 soldiers, that would be exactly 511 corpses.

From this point of view, none of the officers and soldiers who escorted the tax collectors were alive.

Cruel enough!

However, is there a possibility that maybe the corpses of the robbers were dressed in the clothes of officers and soldiers?
