Niu Ren was very satisfied with Huang Shaojie, the new Xiaoqi, because he was highly skilled in martial arts and quick-witted, especially his eyes were sharper than even his fifth-grade grandmaster.
“Send the order for all personnel above Xiaoqi to gather here.”
Niu Ren ordered the guards beside him.
The guards took the order and left.
Soon, dozens of small banners, general banners, hundreds of households, and trial households came to gather.
Everyone looked at Niu Qianhu, wondering why he had summoned everyone here.
“Sir, have you found any clues?”
Zhao Baihu raised his hand and asked Niu Qianhu.
Niu Ren put his hands behind his back and nodded slightly, saying: “Just now, Huang Xiaoqi discovered that the robbers had carried Guan Yin halfway and sank into a small lake…”
After hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but look shocked, and they all looked at Huang Shaojie with surprised eyes.
Zhao Baihu also looked at Huang Shaojie and asked with confusion: “Huang Xiaoqi, how did you find out that the robbers had carried the official silver out of the car halfway, and how did you know that the robbers had sunk the official silver into the bottom of a lake? ”
Huang Shaojie cupped his hands and said: “Report to Zhao Baihu, my subordinates just looked at the depth of the ruts on the official road and judged that all the trucks driving here were empty. Then they checked the ruts with Mr. Xiao on the original road and found the robbers who were moving down Guanyin on the way.” Direction of escape…”
Huang Shaojie roughly told what happened.
Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this.
If the road is soft, you can indeed tell from the ruts whether the carriage is empty or loaded with sharp silver.
But now the road surface of this official road is hard, and it is impossible to distinguish the ruts of empty cars and those containing tax money.
“Huang Xiaoqi, the road is so hard, are you sure you can tell where the robbers moved the official silver from the ruts?”
Zhao Baihu looked at Huang Shaojie with suspicion. Although he had heard that Huang Shaojie did have some abilities, he did not believe that Huang Shaojie’s observation skills were so good.
Xiao Qiuyue said aside: “Zhao Baihu, I believe Huang Xiaoqi’s words. His observation ability is indeed very strong. Moreover, in the woods, my subordinates also found traces of the robbers’ trampling.”
Seeing that Xiao Qiuyue had said so, Zhao Baihu naturally stopped asking any more questions, but in his heart he still didn’t believe that Huang Shaojie’s observation ability was so strong.
The other small flags and general flags were also dubious.
At this time Niu Ren spoke: “Whether Huang Xiaoqi’s judgment is correct or not, this is an important clue. We must allocate a manpower to keep an eye on this lake.”
Then Niu Ren began to issue orders.
“Mr. He Qi, you take two Xiao Qi to pretend to be woodcutter and go to the forest near the lake to cut firewood. You are responsible for observing the movement of the lake during the day.”
“If there are robbers coming to salvage money, then send someone back immediately to report it.”
Mr. He Qi bowed his hands and said, “Yes, sir.”
Niu Ren continued: “Zhao Baihu, Xiao Zongqi, Huang Xiaoqi, the three of you secretly lurk in the mountains and forests near the small lake at night, monitoring the surrounding movements. If there are robbers coming to salvage money, don’t alert them, secretly track them to Lao Lao, come back and report.”
“Yes, sir!” Zhao Baihu, Xiao Qiuyue, and Huang Shaojie all raised their hands to accept the order.
Niu Ren looked at everyone, waved and said: “Others, wait, continue to search for traces of the robbers leaving here!”
It can be seen from the arrangement that Niu Ren did not trust Huang Shaojie’s judgment, so he did not arrange too many people to monitor Xiaohu, and only sent six people to pursue this clue.
Everyone took the order and left.
………
In a luxurious hall.
“President, Jin Yiwei searched the forest near the small lake today.”
A man in black night clothes raised his hands and respectfully reported to an old man in green robe.
The green-robed old man’s expression changed slightly when he heard this, “The noses of these eagle dogs in Jinyiwei are really sensitive. It must be because you didn’t clean up the trampling marks yesterday, which attracted these eagle dogs to follow.”
The man in black whispered: “More than a hundred people, each carrying a wooden box with two thousand taels of silver, are walking through the woods. No matter how they are cleaned, there will be traces left behind.”
The old man in green robe frowned and said: “It seems that Suzhou Jinyiwei has some experts! The silver was moved out of the carriage in the middle of the journey, and the empty carriage was led for dozens of miles. They can actually trace it back here. It’s really amazing!”
The man in black asked cautiously: “President, what should we do now? Should we fish up the official silver that sank to the bottom of the lake at night and transport it back?”
The old man in green robe did not answer, but asked: “How many Jinyi guards searched near Shen Yin’s small lake today? How long have they been searching near the small lake?”
The man in black replied: “There were dozens of Jinyi guards, led by a man and a woman. They searched for about one stick of incense.
, and then left. ”
The old man in green robe asked again: “Did the leading man and woman come to the small lake to check, or did they deliberately observe the small lake?”
The man in black said: “No. They probably didn’t expect Guanyin to be sunk to the bottom of the lake.”
The old man in green robe shook his head slightly: “Not necessarily. Since they were able to find this place, they must have discovered your footprints. How could they not think of the possibility of Guanyin sinking into the small lake?”
The man in black was startled, “President, you mean that the couple of Jinyiwei men and women are deliberately pretending not to know, so that we can relax our vigilance?”
The old man in green robe twisted his beard and thought: “It is very possible. They want to set up an ambush in the jungle near the small lake, waiting for us to go to the lake to fish for silver, and then round us up.”
The man in black said discouragedly: “In this case, then we have been working hard in vain for this batch of official silver, and we can’t salvage it.”
The old man in green robe said: “This is just my guess, and I can’t make a conclusion yet. Maybe these Jin Yiwei really haven’t found any clues. So, we have to test it out.”
“Testing? How to test?”
“Tonight, ask two disciples to go to the lake to get a box of silver. You hide and observe in the dark. If any Jin Yiwei appears, immediately use hidden weapons to kill those two disciples. If no Jin Yiwei arrests or follows those two disciples, , then it proves that the Jinyiwei did not find official silver in the lake.”
“What the president said is absolutely true, my subordinates will make arrangements right now.”
……..
At night.
Three black shadows had been lurking in the forest more than a hundred meters away from the small lake.
They are Zhao Baihu, Xiao Qiuyue, and Huang Shaojie.
Niu Ren only sent the three of them here because they were all good in martial arts.
Zhao Baihu is a second-grade grandmaster, and his strength is unparalleled.
Xiao Qiuyue is at the peak of the eighth level of Xiantian, and is about to break through to the ninth level of Xiantian.
Although Huang Shaojie is only at the third level of innate realm, he possesses two peerless martial arts and is stronger than Xiao Qiuyue.
The three of them were holding their breath and hiding in the hidden part of the jungle. Any slightest movement within a radius of a hundred meters could not escape their ears.
When it was late, two figures sneaked over from a distance and walked directly to the small lake.
