Zhang Shi waited for the rest of the world, and finally waited until the city wall to reply.

He didn't open the city gate, but only used a hanging basket to hang Zhang Shi and his five people onto the top of the city and sent them directly to Zuo Liangyu's mansion.

When Zhang Shi saw Zuo Liangyu, he said intimately, "Sure."

People say that Zuo Liangyu has a long and slim face, and it seems that she is not bad. She is sitting there, not much shorter than others, and her red face has its own power.

It was just that his eyes flashed, and his eyebrows were slightly sinister and inconsistent.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zuo Liangyu and immediately bowed: "Zhang Shi, a hundred households in Ye County, pay homage to General Zuo!"

Zuo Liangyu laughed and reached out to help him: "Please get up with Zhang Baihu."

Zhang Shi was restrained and bowed his head, very humble. As Ying Yi told him, facing Zuo Liangyu was the same as he had faced Zheng Yunzhi at the time.

"I have read the documents you sent." Zuo Liangyu picked up the tea bowl and slowly said: "It's just that some of the joints are not clear about me."

Zhang Shi hurriedly said: "If you have any questions, just ask."

Zuo Liangyu smiled slightly: "The Zheng County Magistrate said in the document that when he received military pay, he was intercepted by a thief on the way. What is the specific situation?"

Zhang Shi said: "General's elegance. The villain has experienced this with his own experience. He was a hunter in Ye County, but he was lucky enough to be favored and promoted by the county master and became a hundred households. The villain was grateful in his heart, and the county master saw it and valued it. At that time, the Jinyiwei came to see the county master, and the villain was next to the county master. It was said that the military pay had been secretly transported to Erlang Mountain in Wuyang."

Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Menggeng, and Ma Shixiu in the room all nodded slightly when they heard this.

"But just during the day that day, the county master learned that the news of military pay had been leaked, and he also captured dozens of hidden thieves in the county town. Therefore, the county master was worried that the military pay would be lost, so he sent someone to ask the general for help, while gathering the county's troops to greet him."

Zuo Liangyu naturally knew about this.

At that time, Zheng Yunzhi did send someone to ask for help, but he was still stationed in Xiangyang at that time.

"What about it later?" Zuo Menggeng couldn't help asking.

Zhang Shi said: "The county magistrate gathered three hundred families of soldiers to Wuyang overnight, and the villain was among them. He arrived at Erlang Mountain before dawn, and before he could say a few words, the thief arrived."

"The villain was afraid of losing military pay, so he hurriedly made a handover. The Jinyiwei Qianhu who escorted the military pay stayed in Erlang Mountain to hold the thieves, while the villain and others escorted the military pay back to Ye County from behind the mountain."

"I didn't encounter any trouble along the way. I just found out that Ye County was already besieged by thieves."

Zhang Shi said, while doing his expression in place, with a bit of ups and downs.

"At that time, the villain and others were shocked. You should know that there were only two hundred families left in Ye County. There were nearly 100 thieves who besieged the city."

"It seems that the military pay was intercepted there?!" Zuo Liangyu sighed slightly.

Zhang Shi said depressedly: "The general is wise, and the military pay was intercepted at that time. We only had three hundred households, and there were only two hundred households in the city, and nearly ten thousand thieves flocked to us, and we could not stop them at all. The county magistrate took advantage of the thieves' robbers to grab military pay, and the little man survived. But in the end he lost the military pay."

He lamented: "The thieves were angry that the county master dared to leave the city with two hundred people, so they did not give up after taking military pay, and wanted to besiege. The county master made a quick decision and used a trick to lure the enemy into the city, set fire to burn many thieves to death, and successfully withdrew from Ye County, and has been in the mountains of Fangcheng to this day."

"I see..."

After hearing this, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but say wonderingly: "It seems that your county magistrate is quite capable."

Only 500 people can still protect their lives. Even Zuo Liangyu is not sure about this. What's more, he dares to go out of the city to attack the thieves with two hundred people. He is really brave.

Although the military pay was lost, the situation here was not a crime of war. It was really impossible to achieve the strength, and it was understandable.

"I said the scouts returned the white land in Ye County. It turned out that it was the work of your county magistrate." Ma Shixiu laughed and said, "The county magistrate is responsible for defending the territory. He lost his military pay and burned the city, haha..."

Zhang Shi's expression changed and he hurriedly said, "How can this general speak like this?! My county respects the heart of the country and the people, and the world can be seen..."

"Okay." Zuo Liangyu waved his hand: "Your county magistrate asked me to send troops to regain military pay, but it was said that the military pay had not been transported away. Let me tell me what happened?!"

Zhang Shi bowed and said, "The Good General knows that my county master lost military pay. Although it was too much for me, it was because someone leaked the news and because the thief was powerful, the county master was still anxious. During this period, he has been investigating everywhere."

"Although there are many thieves, they are outsiders after all. The villain and others are locals, familiar with local geography. In particular, they caught the thief who leaked the news and learned that the two million taels of silver had not been transported away."

"oh?!"

Zuo Liangyu and the other two were shocked: "I actually caught the thief who leaked the news?!"

Zhang Shi nodded and said, "That's right. The general probably never thought of his identity as this man - he was a descendant of Yuan Chonghuan, who had once supervised Liaodong but had colluded with the Tartars to stolen the country because of his superior killing of generals."

"The descendants of Yuan Chonghuan?!"

Zuo Liangyu and the other two were dumbfounded.

Zhang Shi said: "That's right. Yuan Chonghuan has a daughter who should have been exiled for three thousand miles. I don't know who rescued her. My county lord guessed that there must be a black hand behind this. And her status is not low. Because there are not many people with high status in military pay, except for a few people with high status."

Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but take a breath: "I didn't expect there was such a reason. No wonder the military pay was lost, but it was a combination of inside and outside."

Zhang Shi sighed and said, "What the general said is reasonable."

Then he said: "Catch the Yuan girl and after interrogation, I know that she was in contact with Hao Yaoqi, the thief general under the treacherous thief. After Hao Yaoqi seized the military pay, he did not transport it to Kaifeng, but hid it himself."

Zuo Menggeng laughed: "It turns out that he is a thief. Could it be that he wants to take it alone?"

Zuo Liangyu and Ma Shixiu had the same thoughts in their hearts.

"The general has come to his point." Zhang Shi flattered and said, "After investigation, the county magistrate confirmed that Hao Yaoqi was greedy. After he seized the military pay, he hid it, pretended not to know, and beat him to death and refused to admit it. Later, the thief sent more troops, but he didn't say anything."

Zhang Shi had almost made it clear about the situation inside. Zuo Liangyu and others were no longer confused.

But he asked him: "Then can your county master find out where the thief Hao Yaoqi hid his military pay?"

This is what Zuo Liangyu wants to know the most.

Zhang Shi shook his head and nodded again: "The specific area is not clear, but there are some general guesses."

"Don't talk nonsense, come on!" Zuo Menggeng could not bear it?!

Zhang Shi hurriedly said: "The military pay must be carried by Hao Yaoqi all the time, or it is Baihe Valley!"

"White River Valley?"
