The Dali Temple System of Crossing

Chapter 76 I Want to Investigate the Case
Xu Liang looked at the ingot of gold, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a light smile, "You mean we sent someone to steal the gold?"

"No, no, no, I don't do this kind of thing. Besides, although our secret sect is shady, the theft is really inferior. The treasury has actually been stolen, but it hasn't been discovered by the government. But I know Who stole it, as long as Cui Ge takes over the case, I think he will be sent to Chang'an soon, and by then, hehe!" Ma Chao sneered.

With that said, Ma Chao left the ingot of gold on the table and turned around and left the tavern with Xu Liang.

Before leaving, Ma Chao deliberately made some noise on the second floor and released a mist pill.In an instant, the second floor seemed to be on fire, and thick smoke billowed out from the second floor.

During the riot, there was a lot of noise. Passers-by saw the thick smoke on the second floor, shouted loudly, and made a mess of porridge.

At this time, Trigg had just left when he heard shouting from behind. He stopped and looked back, only to see thick smoke billowing from the restaurant just now.

"Go and have a look!" Cui Ge frowned, and said to Wang Gunkai coldly.

The two of them went straight to the restaurant one after the other.

At this time, a group of melon-eaters had gathered below the restaurant. They were talking about the billowing smoke on the second floor, but they were all theatergoers, and no one rushed into the restaurant to take a look.

As for the guests in the restaurant, they have already disappeared.There were only store clerks and shopkeepers, holding buckets in their hands, spraying water on the second floor. However, there was no fire inside, and thick smoke was billowing, so they couldn't get close at all.

Cui Ge and Wang Jiankai jumped up, used lightness kung fu, and climbed up to the second floor in an instant, billowing thick smoke, they couldn't open their eyes, and the smoke entered the nostrils, causing bursts of coughing.

However, Trigg still forcefully opened his eyes. There was no fire inside, and the surrounding wood was complete.But the smoke has a source, and there is only one place where the smoke is constantly coming out.

Upon seeing this, Trigg squinted his eyes tightly, crawled on the ground, and slowly moved towards the direction of the smoke.The smoke spreads upward, so when Trigg lay on the ground, there was no more smoke.

Soon, Cui Ge found the smoke pill and crushed it with his feet.The smoke stopped instantly.However, the smoke on the second floor has not dissipated and still lingers in it.

After finishing all this, Cui Ge found that it was only caused by the smoke pills, and nothing major happened, so he was ready to leave.

But just as Trigg took two steps, a golden light suddenly flashed in his eyes.The golden light was so dazzling that it made Trigg's eyes dizzy. Trigg squinted his eyes slightly and looked towards the shining place, and he saw the gold on the table at a glance.

The gold on the table seemed to be placed randomly without any cover-up.The two teacups on the table have not been taken away.But Trigg saw a jade pendant left on a futon.

This jade pendant is black, made of jade, it looks like a jade pendant, but it is also like a token, with a black glutton engraved on one side and a big "ink" character engraved on the other.

Cui Ge held the jade pendant in his hand, the jade was delicate and smooth to the touch, it seemed that the material of this jade was excellent, and the word "ink" on it must have a meaning.

After Cui Ge put away the jade pendant, he quickly stepped forward to grab the gold on the table, it was heavy and not light in his hands.And when Trager held it in his hand, there seemed to be some words on the gold.

Taking a closer look, the word "Wollongong" caught my eye.

"Wollongong? Such a familiar name. Where have I heard it before... Wollongong! Damn it, Tanzhou Treasury!" Trigg suddenly came back to his senses.Trigg remembered that he had seen it accidentally when he was checking the city gate records in the case room last time.

Cui Ge looked at the gold ingot in his hand, and his heart sank. Cui Ge knew that something serious happened, and the Tanzhou treasury was definitely stolen.It is impossible for gold ingots to circulate in the market.Even if it is a reward from the emperor, the gold will be shaped into a certain shape, but the gold ingot in his hand at this time is a square.

Such cubes are unformed and are specially stored in the treasury and sent to the Chang'an Palace.If something like this appears on the market, it can only mean that the treasury has been stolen!
Cui Ge grabbed the gold ingot, put it directly into his arms, and yelled at Wang Jiankai who was not far away: "Follow me to the Yamen immediately, something big happened!"

As Cui Ge said, without waiting for Wang Jukai's reaction, he directly grabbed Wang Jukai and went to the Yamen.Regardless of the issue of superiority and inferiority, the two rode together and galloped to the Yamen.

Half an hour later, Cui Ge and Wang Jukai finally arrived at the Yamen.But at this time, the hair of the two of them was messed up by the wind.

After the two dismounted, Cui Ge directly rushed into the yamen and headed for the lobby.

At this time, in the lobby, Zhang Ru was trying a case, and an old woman was kneeling on the ground, talking miserably with snot and tears.

But Cui Ge didn't pay attention to so much, and rushed into the lobby directly, and said: "Inspector Zhang Ru, I have something important to report!"

Cui Ge's sudden words made the hall suddenly quiet. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Cui Ge, and even the people standing in the hall looked at Cui Ge in a dazed manner.

Can't you see that a case is being heard here?

Most of the people's eyes revealed this information, confusion and dissatisfaction.Zhang Ru was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cui Ge with dissatisfaction, and scolded: "Stay back, all important matters will be discussed later."

Zhang Ru's words are unquestionable and extremely strong.But it's no wonder that Zhang Ru, no matter who it is, when trying a case, the most annoying thing is someone to interrupt, because it will disturb the thoughts.

However, Cui Ge did not retreat. Instead, he took out the gold from his arms and handed it to Zhang Ru, saying: "Prefect Zhang Ru, there is a reason for this. The Tanzhou Treasury has been stolen. I hope you can order an inspection of the Tanzhou Treasury at this time! Cui Ge I’d love to go and find out.”

Cui Ge recommended himself, and at the same time Cui Ge also believed that this case should be his own.Because I discovered it by myself, I should do it myself.You must know that such a big case is not something that can be met if you can meet it.

Of course, this is also a hot potato, if you are not careful, your life may be in danger.But for Cui Ge at this time, this case is definitely a good thing, because at this time Cui Ge already has mind reading skills.

Trigg, who has the ability to read minds, can find out the murderer as long as he finds the relevant people. Therefore, for Trigg, this case is not only not a hot potato, but a sweet potato.

But Zhang Ru looked at the gold ingot that Cui Ge had patted on the copybook, and was stunned again, staring straight at the gold ingot on the copybook, falling into panic.

The Tanzhou treasury was stolen, how is this possible!

Zhang Ru couldn't believe it because he went to the treasury just yesterday and didn't find that the treasury had been stolen.But the gold ingots Cui Ge put on the document at this time were facts. Facts proved that the treasury was indeed stolen, and Zhang Ru had to believe it even if he didn't believe it.
