Bring your son to chase after your wife, please go home

Chapter 93
Shen Qianbi replied: "Yesterday, I took the archer palace queen and hurried in to join Wei Yu and the others after I finished dealing with the killers behind. Although the imperial guards tried their best to guard the convoy and Xiao Shizi, after all, everyone was fighting with all their strength. The scene was a bit chaotic, so I didn't notice when five more people came out."

After thinking about it, she frowned again and said, "So, I can't figure out how so much silver disappeared from our eyes without anyone noticing."

"Five more people?" Ye Hen's attention was obviously attracted by this sentence.

"Yes." Shen Qianbi nodded deliberately and said: "Last night, the general took a few people to search nearby, and found the bodies of the five imperial guards killed by the assassins. Later, the little medical officer followed over to look, and she said with certainty Those five died before I went into the woods with the archers. But when I went into the woods there were 36 unhurt."

"That is to say, at that time, five more people came out of thin air?" Ye Hen bent down and glanced at the five boxes that were already empty.

"If the little medical officer's judgment is correct, then it's likely to be like this." Shen Qianbi lowered her head, a little dazed in her eyes.

"In your opinion, under what conditions can those five people have a chance to appear out of thin air?" Ye Hen knocked on the inner wall of the box and asked her again.

Shen Qianbi's gaze followed his hand around and then whispered: "I did think that those five people would be hidden in the box, but it turns out that there are many loopholes in this guess."

"You might as well talk about it." Ye Hen looked at the three-foot-long and wide box in front of him, thoughtfully.

"First, when I was loading silver in the warehouse of the household department, I picked these boxes at random. If these five people hid in the boxes early in the morning, how could they be sure which box I would pick?"

"Secondly, the boxes containing silver taels are all the same size, three feet long and wide, and all of them are filled with silver taels. Even if the assassin wants to hide, he can only choose to open a hidden compartment at the bottom of that one foot wide. In this way, The height of the assassins is the most important issue. The soldiers of our Beiya Imperial Army have strict requirements when selecting soldiers, no less than six and a half feet. If they can be hidden in the hidden compartment at the bottom, those assassins must not exceed five feet, so obviously The difference in height must be very abrupt. But when I took the archer into the forest, I didn't find anything special."

Shen Qianbi recalled the situation at that time in detail, and answered affirmatively.

Ye Hen squinted his eyes, took a feathered arrow from the trunk behind him, and drew it on the ground a few times.

Shen Qianbi pointed to the rain-stained seals on the box again, and said, "These seals were untouched when the box was opened."

"I see." Ye Hen responded lightly, and then said: "Go and make arrangements first, and prepare to leave."

"Departure?" Shen Qianbi was a little puzzled. Isn't the most important thing right now is to find a way to get back the lost silver?

"When we arrive in Pingcheng later, spread the news about the robbery of the silver." Ye Hen put away the feather arrow, poured water to wash his hands, and took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe it clean. From the beginning to the end, the expression on his face was so faint that people couldn't see through it. a cent.

Shen Qianbi was even more shocked, and she took another look at Ye Hen to make sure that he didn't show signs of being sick, having a fever and talking nonsense, then she took a breath of air belatedly, and said with some uncertainty: "My lord, should we discuss it now?" How to get back the 1 taels of silver?"

"We won't be able to find it in a while." Ye Hen said: "But on the side of Chuzhou, the repair of the dam cannot be delayed for a moment. We still have to arrive in Chuzhou as scheduled."

"This..." Shen Qianbi wanted to say something more, but when she saw Ye Hen's brows and eyes showing a faint look of fatigue, she immediately remembered that he was seriously injured by poisoning last night.

Swallowing back what she wanted to say, Shen Qianbi bid farewell in a low voice and went to arrange today's schedule.

Ye Hen closed the opened boxes one by one, took the pine resin from the tree beside him and pasted the seals, then turned and walked back.

Wei Yu wandered around the neighborhood again early in the morning, caught two rabbits, picked up dry wood, and continued to light a fire on the fire last night to roast meat.

Seeing Ye Hen approaching, he quickly stood up, his face full of guilt, "My lord, it's all due to the dereliction of duty of the servant, that's why..."

"Forget it." Ye Hen waved his hand, pointed to the two roasted golden rabbits on the shelf and said, "Hurry up and send this to Dudu and Ajin, you have to continue on your way after eating."

"But my lord..." Wei Yu hesitated, "This is roasted for you by a servant."

"I don't have any appetite." Ye Hen shook his head, and stretched out his hand to him, "Give me Ajin's share, I just want to ask her about some details, so I'll send it to her by the way."

When Ye Hen came, Baili Changge was lying tossing and turning in the tent, she still couldn't figure out how those five people came out, and how the 1 taels of silver disappeared in the closed box.

"Can't sleep?" Ye Hen came in and sat down next to her, and handed her the baked rabbit, "Eat something, today's schedule is a bit tight, I'm afraid I can only rest in Pingcheng before we start our journey."

Unexpectedly, he would come in suddenly, let alone bring rabbit meat, Baili Changge woke up with a start, and quickly sat up.

"The silver is lost, and you still go to Chuzhou?"

Ye Hen was silent, glanced at the tall bushes outside, turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "The other party's purpose is to make me disappear forever, how can I do what he wants?"

The morning wind came in from the outside and blew on the golden roasted rabbit meat, spreading the aroma. Baili Changge was so hungry that his saliva almost fell out, but when he saw the faint smile when he turned his head, Calm as if telling someone else's story.

She couldn't help but look stunned, remembering the scars on his back she saw last night, every trace had a restless killing, thinking that he escaped from the sea of ​​fire and returned to Beijing after two years of calamity, the old emperor just copied an imperial decree The families of the persons involved in the unjust, false and wrongly decided cases have since become a taboo that no one should mention, and by the way, his rights have been emptied by the reason of letting him recuperate.

She also saw his loneliness and desolation beside the water pavilion in Wudinghou's mansion.

She had also seen his boundless loneliness illuminated by the bloody setting sun in Yunhai Building.

"Do you want a leg?" After thinking for a long time, Baili Changge felt that he couldn't find any words to comfort the seemingly dignified but lonely prince in front of him, so he could only tear off a rabbit leg and hand it over. give him.

Ye Hen staggered away, and glanced at her with a strange expression, "I don't eat this kind of thing."

She curled her lips in disdain, Baili Changge didn't bother to pay attention to him, she had learned about this man's cleanliness, when he was performing an autopsy on Shaoqing in the Hou's mansion, he would rather smell the smell of the corpse than dip his hands in ginger vinegar Take the pottery ring ball to find Mrs. Wu's nephew, who made tea attentively, but he didn't even look at it.
