Chapter 406: [Suspicious clouds in the bank treasury]

Views:

There is a saying called "Heaven fails to fulfill people's wishes", which describes the changes in things that run counter to people's wishes. This sentence is absolutely appropriate to describe Xue Poye and Lv Niangzi now.

At the moment when the two were about to marry, Mr. Hu's anxious voice sounded out of the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao is asking to see you, and I have something important to report."

The two men and women whose bodies were burning to the extreme fell into the ice cave at this moment.

The green lady's complexion changed drastically, she turned over and rolled into the bed, pulled the brocade quilt, and shrank in.

Xue Poye was even more furious, the beautiful thing he had been looking forward to for a long time was about to succeed in an instant, who knew that at this moment he heard such a piercing voice and couldn't help shouting: "It's midnight, what is the ghost calling? "

Manager Hu outside didn't expect Master Xue to be so angry, he was too shocked to answer.

Xue Poye patted the brocade quilt lightly, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Good sister, don't be afraid, I'll go out and beat you up." I felt the brocade quilt tremble slightly, and I don't know if the green lady is shy or scared.

It's fine to be frightened, but Xue Poye couldn't bear to be frightened by a beautiful woman in full bloom. He got up, put on his clothes in twos and twos, and rushed out the door aggressively. Outside, a look of horror.

"In the middle of the night, what are you calling?" Xue Poye was annoyed, and shouted at Mr. Hu.

Since following Master Xue, Director Hu has never seen Lord Hou get so angry, and he was frightened: "Hou... Hou Ye... Mr. Zhao, please see me!"

Xue Poye shouted: "Which Master Zhao? What time is it, what are you doing here?"

"Master Hou...it's Mr. Zhao Tianda from Yulin Camp...!" Mr. Hu said cautiously, "He...he said he needed to find Master Hou for something important!"

"Zhao Tianda?" Xue Poye calmed down.

Zhao Tianda has been leading troops to guard the bank of the household department, guarding the empty warehouse that has been stolen, and around the bank, Zhao Tianda leads nearly a hundred forest guards to patrol.

Senior Brother Qinglianzhao went to look for things after the bank was stolen. Naturally, there were extremely important things left in the bank. In order to prevent them from sneaking in again, nearly a hundred forest guards guarded the empty warehouse. It is an exaggeration to say that even a fly can be found when it flies in.

Zhao Tianda came here in the middle of the night, it must be for the bank's affairs, and it was urgent.

"Let him wait, I'll come right away." Xue Poye ordered, turned and went back to the room, closed the door, and walked to the bed.

I saw Lady Lv pulling the brocade quilt apart, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, looking at Xue Poye softly. Xue Poye's heart thumped with such a childish attitude.

He leaned forward and said softly: "My good sister, I'm going to deal with some things first, come back... let's continue...!"

Thinking of her coquettish and coquettish attitude just now, Miss Lv's heart was pounding, and she said in a tired voice: "You...you go, I'm sleepy...!" She retracted into the quilt again.

Xue Poye saw that she was flirtatiously flirtatious just now, but now she is shy and coy, the two styles of women are vividly displayed on her body, so she couldn't help but reach into the quilt and caress her breasts wantonly. Suddenly, the green lady was so tender and crying again and again, but thinking that Zhao Tianda was still waiting, she suppressed her breath, leaned into her ear and said, "Good sister, when I come back, I will take care of you...!" Then she reluctantly left the room.

He wasn't worried that anyone would enter his room, even Xiao Suzhen and Yue Zhu would not enter easily in the General Guard's Mansion, and Lady Lv just happened to have a good rest inside.

In the middle of the night, when he was enjoying the ecstasy with the stunning beauty, he was called out from bed by his subordinates. Xue Poye was really not in a good mood. When he saw Zhao Tianda, his displeased expression had not yet eased.

"I've seen my lord before!" Zhao Tianda looked stern, saluted, and stood aside.

The lamp was already lit in the hall, Xue Poye sat down on the chair and pressed his hands: "Brother Zhao, please sit down." After Zhao Tianda sat down, he asked: "You came so late, what happened? "

Zhao Tianda nodded and said: "That's right, something big happened to the bank of the household department." His expression was a little weird, and his eyes seemed to be filled with a trace of panic.

Xue Poye frowned.

He knew that Zhao Tianda was a brave general, full of courage, he would not pay attention to ordinary things, if something shocking did not happen, he would never have such a frightened expression.

"Say it!" Xue Poye said calmly.

Zhao Tianda thought for a while and said, "My lord, someone from the bank has disappeared again."

Xue Poye asked suspiciously: "Missing? Who disappeared? Yes, why did you say 'again'? Could it be that someone disappeared before?"

"That's right." Zhao Tianda said with some self-reproach: "More than ten days ago, someone disappeared suddenly. At that time, I thought it was just a small accident, so I didn't take it to heart, so I didn't report back to my lord... Knowing that tonight, another person disappeared suddenly. Only then did the subordinates realize that there must be a serious conspiracy in the middle, so they came to report to the lord overnight."

Xue Poye was a little confused, and said: "What is going on, you have explained it clearly."

"My lord, more than ten days ago, the Dali treasury official who was in charge of patrolling the treasury entered the treasury for inspection. It was a routine inspection. After entering the empty warehouse, I never came out again. My subordinates reported to me. I brought more than a dozen people into the warehouse to search. We searched the twelve warehouses and various passages inside and out, but there was no effort. The slightest trace of the treasury official." Zhao Tianda couldn't help shivering when he said this: "It was too strange at the time, and there was no other trouble, so... so the subordinates didn't report it to the adults."

Xue Poye snorted coldly and said, "Deputy Chief Wei Zhao, don't you think it's too late to report it when something really goes wrong?"

Sweat dripped from Zhao Tianda's forehead, he stood up and said, "Humble job... I'm guilty of a humble job, please be punished by my lord."

"Continue talking." Xue Poye waved his hand: "This is not the time to apologize."

Zhao Tianda hurriedly said: "Last night, another strong treasury official went into the treasury for inspection, but he didn't come out in the middle of the night, so the humble staff brought people into the treasury again... This time, something strange happened."

"What strange thing?" Xue Poye sat upright, becoming interested.

"Curry... haunted...!" Zhao Tianda's eyes flickered with horror, he was a tough guy, but he was extremely afraid of ghosts.

"Ridiculous." Xue Poye responded immediately. After all, he is a modern person, and he does not believe in ghosts in his bones. However, in this era, thinking is far from evolving to deny the existence of ghosts.

Seeing that Xue Poye didn't believe it, Zhao Tianda hurriedly explained: "My lord, when we entered the empty warehouse, we heard a strange sound coming from several warehouses. Although the sound was very soft, it was extremely weird. When we opened the warehouse to take a look , but there was nothing there, it was empty, and the powerful treasury inspector was nowhere to be seen... If it wasn't a ghost, where did the sound... where did the sound come from?"

"Just that weird voice, do you think there is a ghost?" Xue Poye sighed.

Zhao Tianda hurriedly said: "There are also two strong treasury officials. My lord, they are all big men with a height of eight feet, and they are real people. The warehouse is empty, but we can't find them. Not seeing people dead, not seeing corpses... This... Isn't this too strange?"

Xue Poye frowned, rubbed his nose, and also had some doubts in his mind.

He has seen the layout of the household bank. After opening the huge door, there is a narrow passage inside. You have to go through several organs before you can enter the room. There are twelve rooms connected to the room, all of which are used to display The place of the official bank is very simple.

Now the official bank in the bank has disappeared long ago, and it is even more empty. If someone is really in there, it will only take a while to find it. Outside the passage behind the door, Ku Yin was surrounded by very hard rocks, and it was impossible to get out from other places.

"How's the situation over there now?"

"Fifty people have been transferred from the humble position, and the guard has been strengthened...!" Zhao Tianda replied: "My lord, look at this...!"

Xue Poye stood up and sighed inwardly: "I wanted to have a few spring breezes with my good sister tonight, but it seems that I don't have such a good fortune. Grandma's, the sky is not fulfilled, but fortunately there is still tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." I took a look at Zhao Tianda , Said: "Let's go to the warehouse to have a look first."

"Humble post obeys orders."

Xue Poye immediately went back to the room. He wanted to talk to Mrs. Lv, but when he got to the room, he found that the room was empty. Mrs. Lv had gone nowhere, but the room was still filled with the things left by Mrs. Lv. Light body fragrance.

Xue Poye sighed, changed his clothes, and then went out to follow Zhao Tianda to the bank of the household department.

At this time, many Habayashi guards have been added to the bank of the household department, and many people are whispering. As soon as Xue Poye entered the bank compound, his expression turned cold, and he asked Zhao Tianda next to him: "They all know gone?"

Zhao Tianda said with some panic: "This... maybe someone said it."

"All grass and trees are soldiers." Xue Poye snorted coldly: "Don't you know that this will shake the morale of the army? Don't pass on the order, and prohibit discussion... Find out who passed it on, and slap a blackboard to improve your memory."

Zhao Tianda hurriedly said: "Your humble position obeys orders." Fu Er gave a few instructions to the Habayashi guard next to him, and the Habayashi guard immediately went down, shouted a few words, and then all the Habayashi guards stopped discussing, and saw the general guard coming , One after another stood still and saluted.

The household bank is divided into east and west warehouses. The empty warehouse belongs to the east warehouse. There are forty warehouses, and there are twelve silver houses in each warehouse. Thirty-seven warehouses have been stolen, and the silver in the remaining three warehouses has already been stolen. It was transported to Xiku.

The dozens of buildings lined up vertically and horizontally look solemn and majestic. Before the Dongku was stolen, there were nearly a thousand garrison guards here, but since it became an empty warehouse, in the eyes of most people, it is no longer a Guarding here is meaningless.

However, Xue Poye insisted on deploying hundreds of Habayashi guards here. Maybe he would never get any useful clues, but he would never allow any outsiders to sneak in here and take away some hidden clues.

The warehouse where the accident occurred was the No. 23 warehouse of the East Warehouse, which is close to the northwest corner. At this time, more than 20 Habayashi guards had guarded the No. 23 warehouse. They lit torches and took pictures of this area. extremely bright.

"It's right here!" Zhao Tianda stood behind Xue Poye, with the look of fear still remaining in his eyes.

At this time, the giant stone gate has been opened, and the dark passage seems to have ghosts lurking, which is unspeakably eerie. The guards guarding here are also elite troops, but in this environment , there is more or less a trace of panic.

Xue Poye can still understand this point.

After all, due to the limitations of the times, the world is in awe of gods and ghosts.

Just imagine that tens of millions of taels of official silver disappeared without human effort, and now there are two powerful treasury officials missing in a row, and there are strange noises in the treasury. It's no wonder that everyone thinks of thieves as ghosts. If Xue Poye was born and raised in Dachu, and has been baptized in ghost culture since childhood, he might think so.

Seeing that everyone was terrified, Xue Poye knew that it was necessary to calm down the army, stepped forward and patted a Habayashi guard on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Are you scared?"

That Yubayashi immediately stood up respectfully, and said loudly: "Don't be afraid!"

Xue Poye laughed, and said: "If you are afraid, you are afraid. It's no big deal. We are all flesh and blood. We are afraid of death and illness... Sometimes we are afraid of our wives. There is nothing shameful."

His last sentence immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the weird atmosphere was slightly relieved at this time.

That Yubayashi smiled awkwardly, nodded and said: "Master Zongwei, this... is there really a ghost?"

Xue Poye chuckled and asked back: "I heard people say that this ghost absorbs people's energy. Have you ever heard that ghosts steal people's money?"

Everyone was taken aback, looked at each other, and many shook their heads.

Xue Poye laughed, and said: "That's right, I haven't heard of it either. I've been thinking that only people can use this money. If ghosts want to steal it, they should go to the coffin shop to steal money. Come here to make a fuss." What is it? So this official thinks that it is nothing more than someone playing tricks, and as for the theory of ghosts, it is really absurd."

"Who is playing tricks?" Seeing the kindness of Mr. Zongwei, a Habayashi guard couldn't help asking.

Xue Poye chuckled, and said, "Little brother, don't worry, if I find out who is playing tricks behind the scenes, I'll be the first to tell you."

After saying this, there was another burst of laughter.

Xue Poye looked back at Zhao Tianda, and said in a deep voice: "Take a few people, light the torches, and follow me in." Walking into the dark passage first, Zhao Tianda immediately led several Habayashi guards, holding The torch followed.

Naturally, the mechanism of the passageway has been locked. As soon as one enters the passageway, a heat wave hits the face. The interior of this warehouse is sealed off on all sides, and there is no air penetration on weekdays, so it is extremely hot and the air is also very bad.

This is the second time for Xue Poye to enter the warehouse. The first time he felt curious and nervous, this time he was only puzzled.

"Did the treasury official come in through this passage?" Xue Poye frowned and asked.

Zhao Tianda hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, although this is an empty warehouse, it will still be used to store silver in the future, so Dali treasury officials will come in every once in a while to check whether the organization is operating normally. There are still twelve warehouses. Does the door work flexibly."

Xue Poye nodded, and asked again: "Are all the organs of this passage open on weekdays?"

There was a strong treasury official who followed, and replied: "My lord, the stone gate is usually closed, the traps are always open, and there are people guarding the outside. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to enter the warehouse."

"So, except for ghosts, no one can come in quietly?" Xue Poye asked with a frown.

"yes!"

As soon as the word "ghost" was uttered, everyone's hair was horrified again.

A group of people passed through the passage, and then entered the spacious corridor. There are twelve silver rooms in a row in the corridor. At this time, the twelve silver rooms are tightly closed, and there is silence in the whole bank room. The breathing of several people.

Xue Poye calmly said: "Open!"

The treasury official hurried forward and opened a warehouse door with two or three clicks.

Xue Poye walked into the room first, under the light of the fire, he could only see rows of silver bars, which were used to display official silver. It is solid and flat, and the ground is also paved with smooth granite, without any gaps. The whole warehouse is like a small prison that makes people breathless.

"You mean, there's a weird sound coming from here?" Xue Poye looked around and asked thoughtfully.

Zhao Tianda said: "As soon as I led people into the passage, I heard a strange sound coming from here, but I don't know which room it came from... When we walked through the passage and reached the corridor, the sound disappeared. , can't hear anything."

"Is there any change in these things in the warehouse?"

"No!" Dali treasury official said with certainty: "The silver heads are all the same as before, and have not changed."

"That is to say, that sound could not be the sound of the silver forging collapsing or moving?" Xue Poye looked even more puzzled.

According to his previous guess, it might be because of the hot summer and the active material molecules, which caused the silver to collapse automatically or make some weird noises when it moved.

If this did not happen, where did the strange noises these people heard come from

Although he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, Xue Poye is still a little nervous. Looking around, there must be a goddamn ghost, right

The more he looked at this airtight warehouse, the more confused he became. He really didn't understand how the official bank could disappear in such a warehouse? What's more, at that time, there were soldiers of the garrison guarding the silver treasury at that time, and if there was any disturbance, it might be discovered, not to mention that the huge official silver was shipped out from here.

"Could it be possible that thieves can go to the sky and enter the earth?" Xue Poye stared at the thick rock roof and muttered to himself.

His body shook violently: "Going to the sky and entering the earth?" His eyes suddenly lit up, moving slowly, and finally stopped on the granite ground under his feet.

Seeing Master Xue's expression changed, everyone followed his gaze and looked at the ground together.
