Chapter 831 Coming to the Door After Mengtian and Wan Qianbian reunited, they transported more than fifty carts of silver back to Anyang City without any secrets.
When passing by the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city were all stunned.
This was the first time people had seen so much silver, and it was also the first time they had seen silver that looked so unlike silver and more like garbage piled randomly on carriages, mixed with dirt and stones.
The general guarding the city hurriedly ran down the city gate tower.
Looking at the carts of snowflakes and silver, he stammered and asked: "What is going on?"
Wan Qianbian casually grabbed a silver ingot from the car and threw it to the general.
The latter subconsciously caught it, and Wan Qianren said: "Look at the bottom of the silver."
When Jiang Jiang lowered his head and took a closer look, his eyes widened even more, and he said in shock: "It's Guan Guan Yin."
Wan Qianbian raised his hand and pointed at the carriages, and said in a loud voice: "Five million taels of official silver."
"This is the five million taels of official silver that was stolen."
The blood in his body surged up, his head buzzed, and he felt a little dizzy.
He was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and pointed at Meng Tian, Wan Qian Ren and others, and said: "The robbers are coming, arrest them immediately" Before he finished speaking, Wan Qianbian showed a silver Shura Tangtang card and said in a deep voice: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly who we are.
The five million taels of official silver were recovered by us."
"Bai Ping's intention, Brother Heyyan, close your mouth and heart" chapter He walked forward with his legs fluttering and looked closely.
He breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "It turns out he is a brother from Shura Hall."
Before he could finish speaking, Wan Qianbian interrupted impatiently: "Immediately send someone to notify the county captain and deputy county captain, summon the county army, surround the county governor's house, and capture the robbers."
Hearing this, the general almost fell off the ground and surrounded the county governor's house to capture the robbers.
What he meant was that the robbers were all hiding in the county governor's house.
He hesitated and said: "This, this" "Hurry up, you're delaying the big thing, be careful if you lose your life."
After saying that, Wan Qianbian ignored him and waved to his brothers.
The convoy continued to move forward and headed straight for the county governor's mansion.
On the way, Wan Qianren came to Mengtian and said seriously: "Brother Tian, now I want to understand what's going on."
Wan Qianbian always looked domineering in front of others, but he was very respectful to Meng Tian.
First, Meng Tian is his immediate boss, and second, he also admires Meng Tian's spiritual martial arts from the bottom of his heart.
Mengtian said: "Tell me about it" "More than a hundred robbers and five million taels of silver disappeared out of thin air in Anyang City.
The county army, gendarmerie, and even our hall army turned Anyang City upside down and could not find any clues. , this is really unbelievable.
Now, I finally figured it out.
The robbers did not run out of the city at all, but had been hiding in the county governor's house, and the official silver had never been transported out of the city.
It is even more true.
To be honest, Guanyin has never left the county governor's house.
If my guess is correct, the robbers did not take Guanyin away at all on the night of the incident.
What they took away was only an empty box.
Guanyin had already been robbed.
It had been lost before the bandits took action, and it was secretly hidden somewhere in the governor's mansion.
We searched all over Anyang City, and even searched the bank vaults of various banks, but we missed one place that we didn't search. ” "The Sheriff's Mansion" "That's right, it's the Sheriff's Mansion."
Wan Qianbian winked at Mengtian and smiled.
In fact, it is easy to understand that the official silver was robbed by robbers at the county governor's house.
All the county soldiers saw it at that time.
The robbers carried away all the boxes containing the official silver.
According to people's inertial thinking, it was robbed.
No matter where his official banknotes are, they can no longer be in the governor's mansion.
After hearing Wan Qianren's explanation, Mengtian, who was still a little confused, immediately became enlightened.
Meng Tian's spiritual martial arts is superior to Wan Qian Ren, but in terms of experience in the arena, he is far less experienced than Wan Qian Ren.
His eyes flashed, and he said word by word: "The official bank was robbed, and everyone thought that the gendarmerie was responsible for the robbery.
But who would have thought that the person who was actually responsible for the robbery was the county governor?"

Wan Qianren smiled and said: "Brother Tian, a mere county magistrate's mansion doesn't have such courage.
If this matter is investigated, a series of people will be implicated.
The final big head must be in the temple."
Meng Tian nodded and said: "If we have done a good job here and found out everything, it will be easier for Brother Xiu to cause trouble."
"Exactly" While talking, they came to the county governor's house.
More than fifty carriages blocked the street in front of the Sheriff's Mansion.
When the soldiers guarding the gate saw this, they didn't understand what was going on.
They quickly stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing and how did you bring all this money?"
"Call Huolin to speak immediately," Wan Qianren stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
The soldier's expression changed, and he shouted sternly: "You have the arrogance to call the governor by his first name!"
Wan Qianbian showed the hall sign of Shura Hall, handed it to the soldiers, and said: "I'll say it again, let Huolin come out immediately."
The expressions of the Shura Hall soldiers changed again.
The Shura Hall itself is not terrible, it is just a gang organization, and it cannot overwhelm the Yamen, but the backer behind it is too terrible, and it is His Highness the Duke of the State.
The soldier took a step back, stepped in and saluted, and said: "I don't know if it's the Lord of Shura Hall who came unexpectedly.
I will go and report it to the Lord of the County."
Wan Qianren didn't speak anymore, just snorted with his nostrils.
The soldiers hurried into the governor's house.
Before Huo Lin came out of the Sheriff's Mansion, Jade County Lieutenant Xiao Gui and Deputy County Lieutenant Su Pengfei hurried to the Sheriff's Mansion with a large number of county troops.
Xiao Gui and Su Pengfei both knew Mengtian.
When they saw Mengtian present, they quickly stepped forward, bowed their hands and saluted, and said politely: "Mr.
Meng" Xiao Gui and Su Pengfei, the leaders of Shuluo Hall's army and close confidants of Shangguan Xiu, did not dare to put on any official airs in front of Meng Tian.
Meng Tian clasped his fists in return and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, Master Su" Su Pengfei looked at the carriages lined up on the street and the mountains of silver piled on the carriages.
He asked cautiously: "Mr.
Meng, these are the robbed official silver."
Mengtian nodded and said, "Master Su, you can go and check it yourself."
Su Pengfei walked to a carriage, picked up a silver ingot, identified it carefully, and then picked up several more silver ingots.
After looking at it, he put the silver ingot back into the carriage, turned back, nodded to Xiao Gui, and signaled his silver Yes, it is indeed official silver.
Xiao Gui frowned even more.
He and Huo Lin were old colleagues.
They had been in Jade County for five years.
One had served as the county guard and the other had served as the county lieutenant.
They were promoted and replaced after Tang Ling ascended the throne.
The new upstart who has lost his old minister, after so many years of working together , Xiao Gui knows too well what kind of person Huolin is.
Sitting in the position of county guard, he cannot be greedy at all.
However, Huolin is not courageous, and he does not dare to be greedy too blatantly.
It is common for people to seek personal gain in business.
He wouldn't believe it if he dared to touch five million taels of official silver and even beat Xiao Gui to death, but the fact was before his eyes.
These carriages belonged to the county governor's house and came from the county governor's house.
The person responsible for driving the carriages, They are all from the Sheriff's Mansion.
Now that official money was found in the car, it would be ridiculous to say that it has nothing to do with the Sheriff's Mansion.
He cleared his throat and whispered to Meng Tian: "Mr.
Meng, this matter is of great importance.
There may be some hidden secrets in it.
I hope Mr.
Meng can investigate carefully and not miss a robber, but also don't wrongly accuse a good person. " Mengtian put his hands behind his back, smiled, and just nodded without answering.

Wan Qianbian next to him said: "The Lord Commander also said that the matter is of great importance, involving five million taels of official silver.
Anyone who gets involved in this matter may bring disaster to the whole family. , Who is the Lord Lieutenant interceding for now?"
Xiao Gui almost choked on his own saliva.
He coughed twice, waved his hands repeatedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr.
Wan misunderstood, I am not pleading for anyone."
"The Lord Lieutenant is a smart man.
He should make his own decisions in his mind about what matters he should intervene in and what matters he should not interfere in."
Talk too much and people will inevitably misunderstand that you are involved.
Xiao Gui could hear the underlying meaning of Wan Qianren's words.
He lowered his head and did not dare to say any more.
After a while, Magistrate Huo Lin finally hurried out of the Magistrate's Mansion and took a look outside the magistrate's mansion.
Well, the street outside the Magistrate's Mansion was full of people, with lights, torches, and Liangzi.
The pitch pine lights up the whole street as bright as day.
Before he could speak, Wan Qianbian walked to a carriage, pulled a body from it, and threw it towards Huolin.
There was a bang, and the body fell in front of Huolin's feet.
The latter was frightened.
He jumped, took two steps back involuntarily, looked down again, almost sat down on the ground in fright, and blurted out: "Horn"
This corpse was that of the steward of the county magistrate's mansion who was shot.
His status in the Sheriff's Mansion was equivalent to that of the deputy housekeeper, and all three generations of his family had been servants in the Huo family, so Huo Lin was naturally very familiar with him.
Seeing Horn's body at this time, Huo Lin was first horrified, then filled with grief and anger.
He glared at Wan Qianren and others and asked sternly: "Why do you want to kill people from my county governor's mansion?"
Wan Qianbian sneered and said: "Huolin, if you are willing to admit that he is from your county governor's house, then things will be easier to handle."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xiao Gui and said: "Master Xiao, please ask me for business Let’s do it in public” Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Gui's forehead.
He looked at Huo Lin and wanted to remind him, but he couldn't speak.
He wanted to scold him, but it was not the right time.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Huo Lin looked carefully and slowly calmed down.
Standing in front were not only the people from Shura Hall, but also two lieutenants, Xiao Gui and Su Pengfei.
He frowned and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Xiao Gui cleared his throat, raised his hand and pointed at Horn's body, and said, "This thief transported the 5 million taels of official silver that was robbed out of the city.
Don't Master Huo know about this?"
When Huo Lin heard this, his head buzzed and his body shook uncontrollably.
The servants on the left and right hurriedly came forward to help him.
He widened his eyes in disbelief and asked: "Mr.
Xiao, you said you meant that the five million taels of official silver were in Horn's hands":
