At the same time, Chen Da and Chen Er also asked Yang Ming how to deal with this pile of money. Yang Ming thought that right now, this matter is on the limelight, and the two of them must temporarily take care of this pile of money. This matter, must not be revealed, and must strictly order the other brothers to keep it a secret.

The news of the government's theft had spread like wildfire. Those refugees who had no knowledge of the situation were even more furious, and they all demanded that the government apprehend those bandits as soon as possible and retrieve the money.

Once this matter was revealed, Wu Kun was suspicious, all of these silver taels were used to help the local victims of calamity, who would do such a thing?

After Wu Kun came out, he looked around and saw that the situation of the refugees was completely different from what the Prefecture Overseer had said. Recently, he had delivered a large amount of goods, whether it was food or clothes, it should be enough for the refugees.

Wu Kun was secretly shocked. He only knew to patrol around, but didn't communicate with these refugees, this must be hiding a lot of secrets. Could it be that the rumors were true, that all of the large amounts of money was secretly stolen by the corrupt officials?

Wu Kun found a small hotel and sat down alone, wanting to hear what the people inside said.

"Last night, something big happened. They said that the government had accumulated a large amount of money and had let a few strong people take it!"

"Who dares to steal from the government? Aren't they afraid of the government sending troops to kill them? This money is for the benefit of the victims, and they are too heartless to do so! "

"That's not right. These people are the best heroes in the martial arts world. It was because the officials took the money and wanted to keep it for themselves and let them find out. That's why they took the money away in a fit of anger."

"If they take the money, it becomes theirs? "This is no different from those corrupt officials. This is just like a small marten on the same hill. It seems like this world is really a bit chaotic!"

"That may not be so. When the news gets weaker, they will naturally spread the wealth to those who are poor!"

Hearing the people talking about it like that, Wu Kun felt that there was a high chance that it was the people from the martial arts world who had done it, and secretly calculated how he would figure out the truth.

Wu Kun decided to walk around and find out where the strong people were. "Second Brother, where do you think the powerful people were able to do this?"

The waiter saw a customer ask, "This little one really doesn't dare to speak carelessly. This is a matter of life and death. It's better for the lords to think about it for themselves!"

Everyone laughed. This waiter was quite quick-witted and did not have as much words to say as the others. If he truly said something wrong and harmed a good person, it would not be good. Moreover, this matter was somewhat complicated and was definitely not a simple act of robbery.

"I think it might be the people in the government. Seeing so much money, they must be seeing things. After some discussion among the corrupt officials, why don't we steal our own money and split it with the higher-ups? Anyway, we're writing the report ourselves!"

Someone laughed and felt that this person's thoughts were quite interesting, but it was unlikely. After all, everyone was waiting for the money right now, so they didn't have the courage to do so for the time being.

"I think it might be the group of experts from the nearby mountains. They must have been disloyal to their wealth and took the money without caring about their reputation. Those people are people who kill people without batting an eye, so this is something that can be done easily!"

"How could that be? They don't want to stay around here anymore. Although they usually want to snatch some of the money from the merchants that passed by, they don't show off. The officials just turn a blind eye to them, so why are they so daring? "

Wu Kun saw that the crowd was making wild guesses, but in his heart, he felt that what they said was reasonable, he just wanted to sit for a little longer and listen to what they had to say.

The waiter said: "Brothers, you can eat whatever you want and you can't speak whatever you want. What you said here today, I didn't hear a single thing. If the authorities come here to interrogate any suspects, I'll say it was you guys!"

Everyone saw that the waiter was a bit funny and could not help but laugh out loud.

At this time, Yang Ming was also sitting within the store. His goal was the same as Wu Kun, to secretly watch the reactions of the people around him, and to be vigilant of the official's actions.

And from afar, Yang Ming saw a person seated opposite to him. That person had a noble expression and acted in a proper manner, unlike these commoner citizens, who were clearly people of status. How could he possibly be in this small shop and listen to these market people talk?

Yang Ming could not help but pay close attention to the people around him. The man was dressed extravagantly, and his movements and body were extremely coordinated. He should be a martial arts practitioner, it was just that his temperament was not many compared to the average martial artist.

In general, those in the martial arts world would have a sense of blood and loyalty, and would naturally display some of their own temperament. However, this person's expression was filled with a sense of nobility, possibly belonging to an official.

Yang Ming thought about it and was shocked, could he be the person sent by the government to secretly gather information? He looked to be extremely shrewd and was definitely a difficult person to deal with, it seemed that he had to be careful.

Ten years ago, Wu Kun had challenged countless experts in front of the palace and mastered all eighteen great martial arts. He was doted upon by the emperor and was given the position of top scholar.

In recent years, this person had gained the favor of the Emperor. He was the one who handled important matters, and many of the secretive things about the Emperor was only known to him and the people closest to him.

Yang Ming decided to secretly follow this person and see what kind of identity this person had. Everyone in the shop was still discussing the matter of the official robbery last night, some of them described it vividly, as if it was him at the scene.

Yang Ming could not help but smile, these people could really imagine, raising the wine cup in his hand, Yang Ming drank it all in one gulp!

He initially wanted to return to Qingcheng as soon as possible, but it seemed like he couldn't do so right now. Although he thought of Ling'er, he knew that he had to give priority to all the refugees in the world. Ling'er knew what he was doing here, so she wouldn't blame him.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the person in front had already stood up to settle the bill, while Yang Ming also slowly stood up, wanting to see who the person was!
