"Dang!" There was still a fierce sound of metal clashing, but this time it was Li Hen who flew backwards
Li Hen retreated several steps before slowly standing up. He stopped retreating by inserting the Hundred Victory Knife in front of him. On the surface, he was overwhelmed by the sudden attack. In fact, he knew his own business. At this moment, Li Hen's arms were numb, and there was a little blood on the knuckles.
Li Hen was famous for his extraordinary arm strength, and his Baishengdao fighting style was known for its heavy power. Li Hen always asked himself that if it came to a head-on fight, even if Song Wen, who was known as the best swordsman in the world, came, he would probably be on par with him. But just now
The surging force coming from the tip of the opponent's sword was not only unstoppable but also penetrated straight into his lungs, which made Li Hen feel a little scared.
Li Hen asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
The person who could use the Nine Heavens of the Blue Sky was naturally Zhou Yi. At this time, Zhou Yi stood in front of Yue Shan with a sword in hand, and said with a smile: "I don't mean to offend you, but these people are my friends, and they didn't steal your things. How about we shake hands and remain good friends?"
Li Hen stood there in silence, looking at Zhou Yi for a long time, then he said expressionlessly: "Let's go!"
... ... ... ... ... ... .
The starlight was dim and it was not yet midnight. The entire Ping'an Town slowly freed itself from the turmoil that had just occurred and slowly returned to its former tranquility.
"Since I saved you, shouldn't someone explain it to me?" Zhou Yi in the tavern said slowly to the people in front of him.
Cook Ding lowered his head and said with some reluctance: "During the battle in Luoyang, a batch of Wu Zhou official silver that was supposed to be transported from various places to the Luoyang treasury was robbed."
With just this short sentence, Zhou Yi was shocked and moved on the spot. What a concept! The shock it brought to people could not be explained in a few words.
Money makes the world go round, and this is an absolute rule in Jianghu. No matter how much money a player has, it is hard to compare with an NPC country, and the country's financial resources mainly rely on official silver taxes from all over the country.
In other words, this batch of official silver may be as high as hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels. Even if it is not that much, it is at least one hundred thousand taels.
This amount of silver would definitely cause an uproar in anyone's heart!
Zhou Yi's brain froze for a while, and then he said slowly: "You mean, could it be that the Yanmen Five Killers robbed the government silver?"
"Impossible!" Ren Ya on the side quickly rejected it: "The martial arts of the Yanmen Five Killers are not even as good as my brother Qianbei's. Besides, Luliang Mountain is not a big place. How many people can there be? Even when Luoyang was besieged and the connection with the court was cut off, the Yanmen Five Killers alone could not deal with those accompanying guards! Unless..."
"Unless there are other accomplices!" Zhou Yi added.
Pao Dingding said: "Yes, and this group of people are very cunning. After they succeeded, they did not leave the country or go south. Instead, they gathered a large number of experts on the way to Luoyang, divided the official silver into more than ten parts, and more than ten groups of people spread it to all directions of the entire Central Plains."
Zhou Yi was amazed that such a plan of breaking the whole into parts not only avoided the conspicuousness of large-scale transfers, but also reduced the risks to a minimum. The official silver was transferred in batches. Even if the battle of Luoyang came to an end and the court investigated, it would be difficult to investigate everything.
"So the Luliang bandits led by Yanmen Wusha are one of them?"
"That's right!" Yue Shan nodded and said, "There are many other people who joined in the action. The Yanmen Five Killers are just minor characters among them. However, the identities of the others are kept secret. Apart from the Yanmen Five Killers, I only know that Xiao Qianjue's Heluo Zhongyuan is also involved."
Zhou Yi said: "So you want to snatch some more silver from the Five Killers of Yanmen? Robbery?"
"Yeah!" Cook Ding nodded and said, "The amount of silver is too large, and it's all official silver. It has the Wu Zhou seal on it, so it can't be used at all. Besides, there is no large smelting workshop in Luliang Mountain. We found out from a friend that they have already made an appointment to trade in Ping'an Town, exchanging official silver for ordinary silver."
Zhou Yi said: "Then who is the transaction partner?"
Yue Shan shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"That's easy!" Ren Ya said, "Brother Qianbei, think about it, there aren't many people who can come up with hundreds of thousands, or even millions of taels of silver to exchange for these official silvers, and who can also have their own large-scale smelting plants to smelt these official silvers."
"That's right." Zhou Yi thought quickly, and then said: "There are super gangs like Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Longmen in the world, and... other countries?"
"Yes!" Ren Ya nodded repeatedly, her big watery eyes suddenly brightened up, "Brother Qianbei, are you interested in doing this?"
“Haha!” Zhou Yi looked down at Ren Ya, a cunning look flashing across his face, and he kept saying, “Don’t forget who I am, the one who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? I’m the best at robbing thieves!”
... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
'Leaning on the Building and Listening to the Wind and Rain' Studio.
"What? You want to rob the government silver?" Cheng Yiyi, the proprietress of the studio, jumped up from her stool upon hearing Zhou Yi's proposal, her brows furrowed and her expression extremely excited.
"Yiyi, it's okay, don't get excited!" Fu Ziwen, who was standing by, quickly smiled and pulled her back to the chair, repeatedly comforting her: "Wait for Zhou Yi to finish speaking, I believe he won't betray his own people."
Zhou Yi nodded, and then slowly said, "After the Battle of Luoyang, when Wu Chongye won the battle, the Wu Zhou dynasty has changed. The complicated power divisions in Luoyang City have been broken up and entered a reshuffle phase. Therefore, Wu Chongye has no time to care about this batch of official silver. Moreover, this batch of silver has been robbed by the Five Killers of Yanmen. I am just robbing the thieves."
"Besides, this is government silver! At least 200,000 or 300,000 taels. Once we get this silver, won't our studio become prosperous immediately? We won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future. We can have everything we want!"
After hearing Zhou Yi's "persuasion", Fu Ziwen and Cheng Yiyi seemed to be a little shaken. They looked at each other and exchanged glances for a while with the eyes that are unique to couples. Then Fu Ziwen asked: "This official silver in front of us is indeed very attractive to us, but we have also heard about the prestige of the Yanmen Five Killers. With the current strength of our studio, is it possible?"
"No, no, they are weak! Don't worry, that guy called Li or something can't even take one of my moves!"
