Jin Yiwei is on duty, signing Fengshen Legs at the beginning

Huang Shaojie checked the ruts on the official road and found that the rut marks started to become slightly lighter from here.

“Are you sure the robbers moved the money out of the car here?”

Xiao Qiuyue looked at the ruts on the ground, but with her eyesight she could not see any obvious changes in the ruts.

“Yes, it must be here.”

Huang Shaojie checked it carefully again and said with certainty.

At this time, he not only discovered the changes in the rut marks, but also found traces of walking in the woods beside the official road.

Although these trampled traces seemed to have been deliberately flattened by some trampled weeds and thorns from behind in an attempt to erase the traces of someone’s trampling, they were still easily captured by Huang Shaojie’s insight skills.

He plunged into the woods on the left side of the official road and followed the trampled traces.

Xiao Qiuyue and dozens of imperial guards also followed Huang Shaojie. Xiao Qiuyue used her eyes to observe carefully and saw that someone had indeed come to this forest.

And there were a lot of people there. Although the weeds and thorns were deliberately smoothed down, some traces would inevitably be left behind.

If Huang Shaojie hadn’t said anything, Xiao Qiuyue would not have noticed it, but now that Huang Shaojie reminded her, Xiao Qiuyue could naturally see some clues with her eyesight.

The dozens of captains could not find any clues.

Huang Shaojie followed these footprints and walked about two or three miles in the woods before he saw a small lake in front of him.

And those trampled marks that were deliberately smoothed were heading in the direction of the small lake.

Huang Shaojie stopped and couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

“Why aren’t you leaving? Why are you giggling?”

Xiao Qiuyue walked to his side, glanced at him, and asked.

“I know where the robbers hid the money.”

Huang Shaojie suddenly lowered his voice and said to Xiao Qiuyue.

Xiao Qiuyue was stunned and asked in a lowered voice: “Where is it hidden?”

Huang Shaojie used his internal power to transmit the message: “It’s hidden in the bottom of the lake in front.”

Internal sound transmission is to transmit sound into someone’s ears through internal strength, so that others cannot hear it.

The higher the level of internal strength, the longer the distance of sound transmission.

Xiao Qiuyue looked at the lake in front of her in surprise, but she heard Huang Shaojie say again: “Don’t look too hard, I guess there should be robbers’ eyes and ears nearby.”

If the robbers sank the silver into this lake, they would definitely leave someone to guard it, and this person might be lurking on a hilltop or in a forest.

Xiao Qiuyue suddenly understood why Huang Shaojie wanted to communicate with her just now.

She pretended to be casual and looked around for a few times, and then sent a message to Huang Shaojie:

“How do you conclude that the robbers must have sunk the money in the lake?”

Huang Shaojie pretended to be searching around, and whispered as he walked: “These trampled footprints have been following that lake. Among these barren mountains and ridges, this is the only lake suitable for hiding silver.”

Xiao Qiuyue looked around with her eyes, nodded and whispered: “It is indeed an excellent idea to sink the official silver to the bottom of the lake. Huang Shaojie, let’s search around to see if we can find the eyes and ears of the robbers nearby. If we can’t find it, just Just dive into the lake and see if Guanyin is at the bottom of the lake.”

Huang Shaojie shook his head and said: “No, the robber must be a master even if he leaves his ears and eyes. It is not easy to find him in these barren mountains and wild mountains. Instead, he will be alerted.”

“Then what are you going to do?” Xiao Qiuyue frowned and looked at him and asked.

Huang Shaojie said: “Pretend to search everywhere, then pretend not to find anything and leave.”

“Just leave like this?” Xiao Qiuyue thought, “We should leave one person hiding nearby to monitor the situation on the lake, and the other person will lead the team back to report to Niu Qianhu.”

Huang Shaojie shook his head and said: “No need. The robbers’ eyes are in the dark, and we are in the open. If we leave one person here to monitor, the robbers will definitely notice it and alert the snake.”

“But what if the robbers pick up the silver from the lake and escape after we leave?” Xiao Qiuyue said worriedly.

“The robbers won’t fish for money in broad daylight. Don’t forget, this is 300,000 taels of silver. It can’t be collected so easily. Moreover, now the government is tracking down the 300,000 taels of silver that were stolen. We don’t even dare to transport this batch of official silver in broad daylight.” Huang Shaojie said with certainty.

Xiao Qiuyue said: “Maybe the robbers’ lair is in this mountain. They can call hundreds of people at any time to fish out the silver from the lake and transport it to their lair.”

Huang Shaojie smiled slightly and said: “If the lair of these robbers is really in this mountain, then we will recruit 10,000 officers and soldiers from the governor to turn this mountain upside down.”

Xiao Qiuyue said nothing more and agreed with Huang Shaojie’s opinion in her heart.

The two of them walked around the mountain forest with dozens of imperial guards.

Then Huang Shaojie raised his hand to Xiao Qiuyue and said loudly: “Sir, there is nothing found here.”

Xiao Qiuyue looked around, waved her hand and said: “Call the team and go back.”

The two men took the dozens of captains back the same way, mounted their horses and galloped in the direction of Ushi Qianhu.

Back at the place where the carriage crashed, Niu Ren still led hundreds of Jinyi guards to search for traces of the robbers’ escape.

Apparently still nothing.

Huang Shaojie and Xiao Qiuyue got off their horses and came to Niu Ren.

When Niu Ren saw the two of them coming, he asked, “How is it? Can you find any clues?”

Xiao Qiuyue cupped her hands and said, “For Qianhu, we have discovered the place where the robbers hid their silver.”

“What are you talking about? You found the place where the robbers hid their silver?”

Niu Ren was stunned, surprised and happy, and asked: “Tell me, where did the robbers hide the official silver?”

Xiao Qiuyue said: “According to Huang Xiaoqi’s investigation, the robbers probably sank the stolen official silver into a small lake.”

Niu Ren looked at Huang Shaojie and asked, “Which small lake? How did you conclude that the robbers sank the official silver into the lake?”

Huang Shaojie cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, I followed the robber’s footprints all the way to the lake, so I concluded that the robber must have sunk the stolen official silver into the bottom of the lake.”

Niu Ren asked: “Then have you sneaked into the bottom of the lake to check?”

Huang Shaojie said: “No.”

Niu Ren’s face darkened: “Since you concluded that the robbers sank the official silver into the lake, why didn’t you send a few captains to sneak into the bottom of the lake to search for it?”

Xiao Qiuyue was about to explain for Huang Shaojie.

Huang Shaojie said: “Sir, please calm down. I believe that if the robbers sank the official silver into this lake, they would definitely send their spies and eyes to lurk near the mountains to monitor the situation. If we went to the lake to fish for silver at that time, we would definitely be alerted… .”

“You mean, we secretly monitor this lake, and if any robbers come to salvage silver, we will catch them in one fell swoop?”

Niu Ren was worthy of being the Jinyiwei Qianhu in charge of Suzhou, and he immediately guessed Huang Shaojie’s intention.

“Master Qianhu is wise, that’s exactly what I think.” Huang Shaojie cupped his hands and flattered Niu Ren at the right time.
