Chapter 23 It turns out that "anti-corruption" is very profitable (Part 1)

At this time, not only the children, but also the burnt touch of their ears pricked up.

Zhao Xing looked at the person at the stern of the boat and added: "Old Man Zhang, Mr. Jiao, and your son, the reason why I don't avoid you is to let you know how serious this disaster is - Judge Zhou is transporting goods, and the two boxes are very heavy. What was he transporting? Can this thing make him take such a big risk and sneak to Shaowujun, and he is afraid that others will know?

Why were those bandits willing to take such a big risk to besiege Judge Zhou in broad daylight?... I still don't understand, think about what Shaowu army produces in a wealth of abundant production?"

Cheng Shuang immediately screamed: "Gold, silver, Judge Zhou is transporting gold and silver. No wonder the teacher just put the box in hand and asked us to run immediately!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Old Man Zhang was so scared that he threw the rowing oars away. Jiao Tu fell on the deck and murmured: "Chao... the court..."

"It has nothing to do with the court, but it is still serious for the robbery of the court's gold and silver." Zhao Xing looked at him with pity: "Judge Zhou transported gold and silver privately, so he was afraid that others would find out... Think about it, the gold and silver produced by the Shaowu army must have been concealed by those officials. However, the hidden output was too conspicuous for him to transport it out by himself, so he needed to find friends whom he knew.

How strict the imperial court regulates the production of gold and silver, it is certainly possible to guess that Shaowujun was able to hide eighteen chariots of gold and silver. This was a collusion between the upper and lower levels and all were corrupt.

Song Lu: Those who mobilized hundreds of people in private and killed them. The judge of Xinghua Army mobilized so many military soldiers and came to Shaowu Army in disguise, so there was a lot of people in Xinghua Army in this case.

Not only that, the prefectures and counties that the military and Han passed by were deaf and dumb, and they had some share. Zhou Tao wanted to send the silver cart to Qingshui Town, so there must be one party who was picking up his silver cart, and I guess it might be the neighboring army.

Think about it, there are countless officials involved in the smuggling case involving three armies along the way. If this matter is exposed, the sky will collapse. It is difficult for everyone to save their lives, so we should escape as far as we can now.

Old Man Zhang walked along the Minjiang River and reached the entrance to Fuzhou. We are now going to Fuzhou and just send Miss Liu home. You are hiding your name in Fuzhou and live in peace. Don’t go back to Shaowu Army in this life.”

Cheng Shuang reacted first just now, winning Zhao Xing's admirable gaze. Now he wants to continue to show his intelligence and immediately interrupted anxiously: "Where is Sun Hua, the master of the sword, the teacher mentioned him just now, so what about him?"

"Think about it, I've said it just now." Zhao Xing encouraged several children.

"Sun Hua knew about transporting the silver cart. He ran to Qingshui Town and wanted to rob the silver cart," Cheng Xia quickly added.

"Not bad! Sun Hua's appearance shows that it is not the first time that the silver cart has been transported... Look, according to what Zhou Tao said, Sun Hua has this knife and Shangguan blackmailed him, so he was unwilling to submit, so he ran to Qingshui Town - I guess he knew Liao Laoqi and wanted to ask Liao Laoqi for help. The news leaked, the amount of gold and silver was too large, enough to make anyone crazy, so Sun Hua and Liao Laoqi were killed together.

Then there was the besiege of silver carts. Those powerful bandits all participated in the besiege. The remaining people who were divided into soup were arranged to intercept them on the road...

Then we came, we knew nothing, and we ran into the ambush net. The group of blind bandits wanted to deal with us, but were dispersed by us. We saw with our own eyes the battle for the silver cart.

Zhou Tao sent us a car, which was malicious. His people were tired after a long battle and suffered heavy casualties, so he had to rely on this heavy car to hold our trip and then rob and kill witnesses separately. Just now, the group of people we met at the fork in the road were the group of merchants who went to rob and kill first. Unexpectedly, we were accustomed to walking on mountain roads and night roads, and there was also Mr. Jiao, who was familiar with geography, so Zhou Tao lost his wife and his army."

Jiao Tu lay on the deck and moaned: "Then... those partners who went to Shaowu Army will indeed not survive!"

"Of course, after the incident is leaked, Zhou Tao will immediately notify Shaowu Army that the Shaowu Army's people will intercept merchants in order to silence them. If those people are obedient, they will bypass Shaowu City before Shaowu Army reacts, and they will survive. Otherwise... but I don't expect them to do what I told you!

Children, remember; being lazy and being lucky are all taboos! Don’t pin your hopes on others, and rely on yourself for everything!”

The children were dazzled by Zhao Xing's words. They only grasped some small details, touched the box, and weighed the weight. Zhao Xing immediately inferred the whole incident. Moreover, Zhao Xing's reasoning seemed to be the only reasonable explanation for the whole matter, and the subsequent pursuit proved that Zhao Xing's speculation was not made out of nothing.

Cheng Zhuo once followed Zhao Xing back to fight the pursuers. He recalled, "It must be so! When the teacher and I went back, the soldiers were covered with blood - fresh blood. They seemed very tired and could not move their legs. According to the teacher's speculation, the merchants who did not follow us must have been killed!"

Old Man Zhang was left with only trembling, and the Zhang family’s wife was so scared that she couldn’t speak.

The villagers were timid and caught up in such a huge case. They felt that the world had collapsed, and even Jiao Chu was so shocked that they were trembling all over. Only the children of Chengjiaao were not afraid of the world, because the teacher was responsible for the big things.

"Don't worry," Zhao Xing saw a few irrelevant outsiders who looked as if they were dead and looked desperate, and immediately comforted him: "You don't need to hide for too long, because the only Zhou Tao who had seen us was also in the scope of silence... Those involved soldiers would not survive. As long as you keep your mouth tight and the limelight passes, those who have seen us are dead, who can know our existence."

These words made them feel a little courageous. Old Man Zhang stood up and instructed the children to control the river boat so that everyone on the boat could rotate and drive downstream without stopping.

At this time, the morning light was slightly dewed, and the ship had already left Shaowu City far behind. Now even if you ride a fast horse, you can't catch up with the fast boat that was descending along the river. In the morning light, Zhao Xing looked at the silver cart and said calmly: "Now, there is only one thing left that needs to be confirmed. As long as the car is indeed filled with gold and silver, our inference is completely correct - open the box."

Cheng Zhuo excitedly borrowed the iron snowflake knife from Zhao Xing and relied on the sharpness of the sword to cut the copper lock.

After the box on the side of the chicken bus opened, it spit out a red light - Oh my God! The box seemed to contain red sandalwood strips. They were square in size and painted with tung lacquer on the outside, which looked very shiny.

Cheng Zhuo couldn't believe that such a perfect inference might be fake. He jumped to the other side of the car and raised his knife to cut the copper lock on the other side.
