Chapter 178 Gold Theft
I couldn't help but cover my face.
The old ape fled forward and the little master followed behind it and knocked several sticks.
The old monkey howled, and Yu Linlang chased and beat him, "Don't howl!"
The old ape was forced to lift the straw raincoat on his back again, and waved his big fluffy palm, and a big bag rushed towards Yu Linlang.
Yu Linlang raised the blue jade stick and gently lifted it, and a feeling of depression came from his hands.
A big gold ingot came out of the bag, and Yu Linlang was speechless.
With a kick, the golden ingot flew into her palm.
It is exactly the same as the dozen or so big ingots before, with ten taels and one ingot, and the bottom is engraved: Jinling Prefecture collects the first batch of grain prices for the long-term settlement of Mingde in the 17th year of Mingde. There is also a line of small characters engraved with the names of the official and the goldsmith.
This large bag of gold ingots plus the previous ones was as much as thousands of taels of gold.
"Have you robbed the imperial treasury?" Yu Linlang looked at the old ape, "So fled to this deserted island to take refuge?"
The old ape threw her a little look of "You can really imagine" and gnawed the remaining grilled fish on the plate.
Its big fluffy claws pointed at the bag that was thrown to her, and pointed at its own plate, turned around and pointed at its back to protect its food, aiming its brain at her.
The meaning is quite obvious, just use that pack of scrap for your meal!
Yu Linlang held hundreds of kilograms of gold and was relaxed and comfortable to lift it.
Seeing this, Baliang hurriedly stepped forward and took it.
Yu Linlang walked behind the old white ape and stretched out his finger to poke its fat waist, "Where did it come from?"
The old white ape had finished all the food at this time. He turned his head and looked at him with oil, and squirted out of his nose.
"Okay, okay, I won't hit you, but you have to honestly explain to me, how can you get so much gold?" Yu Linlang put away the blue jade stick and looked at the old white ape seriously.
"These should be tax silver recast by the court."
Moreover... in the 17th year of Mingde, Jinling Prefecture was most likely to refer to the previous dynasty.
Where did the old white ape get such a big burden in the tax silver in the previous dynasty? ?
Yu Linlang couldn't figure it out.
The old white ape had enough food and drinks and burped, and now he is in the mood to talk to Yu Linlang.
It pointed to the rock and pointed to the soil, twisted its **** and stretched out a pair of claws, making a scattering action.
Yu Linlang was surprised, "You mean, you dug out these things from the ground??"
The old white ape screamed happily, nodding his head repeatedly.
He opened his mouth with seven cents and eight liang, looked at each other, and a thought came to his mind at the same time.
Seeing my girl getting along with this old white ape, it feels like an old acquaintance?
"Where did you dig it?" Yu Linlang's face was calm, "Take me over and take a look."
"Mr. Yuhu, Lord. Yuhu!"
Wu Yong's scream came from afar, Yu Linlang frowned slightly, and reached out to pat the old ape, "You go first, I'll look for you later."
The old ape hugged his arm angrily, pointing at the hollow plate with hairy claws.
"Let's go back and stir-fry a plate of big meat for you." Yu Linlang rolled his eyes to it, "Go away, you're about to arrive."
The old ape screamed and climbed quickly towards the pile of rocks, disappearing in front of them in minutes.
Yu Linlang quickly flashed to Baliang's side and temporarily threw a large bag of golden ingots into the space. Soon, Wu Yong ran over with two guards panting, bowed and smiled, "Mr. Yuhu."
He paused and glanced at the wooden grill beside Lord Yuhu.
The master and servant were padded with large oil paper, just like a picnic. There were two or three ungrilled fish next to it, and the few small plates in front of them were empty.
Lord Yuhu is in a complicated mood. Can she say that she actually didn’t eat a bite?
Wu Yong laughed embarrassedly, "Ah, haha, I'm disturbing Lord Yuhu's meal."
"Is there anything wrong with Wu Banto coming here?"
Wu Yong's face gradually became serious when he talked about the serious matters, "Yes, Lord Yuhu, the old Ma and the other person you caught with your own hands are awake now."
"But the situation is not very good at the moment. The old horse's eyes rolled straight as soon as he woke up, looking like he was about to die."
"Fortunately, with Miss Chi from the side, it has stabilized a little now. But the adults are worried that his life will not last too long, so he hopes that Lord Yuhu will go over and interrogate as soon as possible."
Yu Linlang nodded slightly, "Okay, you go back first, I'll come here later."
Wu Yong hugged his fists and was about to leave. Yu Linlang stuffed a pack of holly fruits, "I picked this fruit on the west side of the island. Although the taste was not good, it could still be used to suffice your stomach. You can't eat more, each person eats three It’s almost done, and eating more is useless.”
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Wu Yong took it with a look of surprise, "Thank you, Lord Yuhu."
After the few people left, Yu Linlang ate a few bites of pastries and let the two girls stay here and continue to grill the fish, and then returned to Lizhoumu and the others.
The group has temporarily settled down and the conditions are very difficult.
When she passed by, she saw the old lady leaning behind the huge rock, frowning with a bitter and revengeful expression, biting the red fruit in her hand.
The slightly bitter taste spread in the mouth, and Yu Pianpian almost cried.
She had never suffered such hardships, and she felt that she was even more bitter than Coptis chinensis.
Seeing that her face was painful, the seven-star sword Luo Yuan quietly approached her, took out a cake wrapped in oil paper from her arms and handed it over.
"Miss Yu, please eat this."
"Thank you, Young Master Luo." Due to the great defense of men and women, Yu Pianpian didn't want to answer, but she was so hungry that she was croaking and there was no way around now.
Yu Linlang glanced at them and walked straight to Li Zhoumu.
"Mr. Yuhu is here." Li Zhoumu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her, "Where the prisoner had just woken up for a moment, and then closed his eyes and was drowsy, and he still didn't open his eyes."
"Oh it's okay." Yu Linlang likes to fight quickly, "I have a way to wake him up."
As he walked, he asked Li Zhoumu unintentionally, "I heard that Zhoumu worked in Jinling twenty years ago?"
Li Zhoumu's face changed slightly, "It's all insignificant past events. It's better not to talk about the previous dynasty, haha."
Speaking of which, with the title of a minister in the previous dynasty, I have been going through more difficult years than others, and my journey to promotion is even more bumpy.
"Oh, I am not interested in exploring it, but I suddenly remembered a related case. Therefore, I would like to ask Lord Zhou Mu. Have you ever heard of any case of tax and silver theft in Jinling Prefecture twenty years ago?"
Li Zhoumu paused, frowned behind his hands and thought for a moment, "When Lord Yuhu said this, I suddenly remembered that there was indeed an extremely vicious gold theft in Jinling twenty years ago."
Yu Linlang raised her eyebrows, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she quickly captured a clue.
"At that time, the old and new imperial courts changed, and the waterways on Jiangnan Road were very disordered."
"There was a batch of tax silver from Jinling Mansion that recast 800,000 taels of gold. When they passed through the waters of the Bian River to the court, they were robbed by a group of bold madmen."
"This incident caused a sensation between the government and the country at that time!"
