With Yan Zhaohua's order, the people behind Liu Cheng rushed to the gate of the warehouse, the warehouse where Xie Wei's dowry was placed on the side of the East Garden, and the treasury of the Hou Mansion was not all the way, the men behind Liu Cheng ran to the gate of the warehouse with great momentum, and the two old men guarding the front of the warehouse were so frightened that they ran to both sides.

Xie Shi was really anxious now, and said to Zhang Ping: "It's the other way around, you, you're just doing it?" Stop, stop me! ”

Zhang Ping had never encountered this kind of bandit-like behavior, he was stunned for a while, and when someone smashed it, he reacted and hurriedly called someone, but someone was called, and he was stopped by Yan Zhaohua: "Who dares to stop it, sell it directly!" ”

Don't look at Yan Zhaohua is only twelve years old, but the tone is powerful, he suddenly grabbed the lifeblood of everyone in the house, the most afraid of being a subordinate is to be sold by the master's family, and finally found a place to settle down, if you go out again, I don't know what the situation will be, not to mention, many people remember that not long ago in this eldest lady happened to cripple five slaves and maids, it can be seen that it is a master who can say it, Zhang Ping can't care about what the master and servant are not the master and servant at the moment, I heard Yan Zhaohua say that, The subordinates shrank their hands and feet, and hurriedly added:

"It's the other way around, it's the wife in this house who has the final say, can she be the master of the child? Don't be foolish one by one, stop me! "Zhang Ping has been in the house for a day or two, the manager is like a fish in water, where is he willing to be suppressed by Yan Zhaohua, he is still counting on enjoying a few more years in the future, naturally he can't take care of these, and shouts directly to Yan Zhaohua.

The people were overwhelmed by the two sides, Liu Cheng's people and Zhang Ping's people finally got up, the scene was a mess, dyed incense and green bamboo protected Yan Zhaohua's side, so that Yan Zhaohua was not injured by mistake, Xie was also escorted by Wang and retreated to the door, and he was also scared, it can be seen that Xie didn't want to make such a big fuss, just when it was inseparable, a team of officers and soldiers broke in like this, the person at the head was called Lin Bao, wearing five-grade official clothes, and rushed in with more than 20 saber officers and soldiers, Xie was really stunned at this time, Just now, Zhang Ping called all the guards in the house to the warehouse, and there was no one in the courtyard to block the communication, so the officers and soldiers actually came in like this.

"Madam Shu, forgive me, someone went to Shuntian Mansion to complain, saying that there was going to be a death in the house, and I was specially ordered to wait to take a look, what's the matter, is someone making trouble or something else?"

Xie Shi looked at Lin Bao, a pair of eyes immediately glared at Yan Zhaohua, only to see that Yan Zhaohua was dyed incense and green bamboo on the side of the wall, facing Xie's, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile not a smile, Xie Shi knew that the officers and soldiers of Shuntianfu suddenly came must be inseparable from this girl, if it is someone else, forget it, it is actually Lin Bao, this person is the nephew of Liu's brother-in-law's family, and it was the position that Liu's proposed to him, but now it has come in handy, and he came directly to her.

"Those people broke into the Hou Mansion, what are you doing in Shuntian Mansion, and you don't quickly arrest those thieves who pry the door of my storehouse."

Xie hated it in his heart, but he wouldn't just give up, and said to Lin Bao, estimating in his heart how much chance he had of winning this time, whether there were so many things in this library, others didn't know, would Xie still not know? Although most of the unsellable ones are still inside, the total number is definitely wrong, and the silver ticket column alone is enough for her to eat a pot.

Lin Bao listened to Xie's words, glanced inside, and saw the eldest lady of the Yan family walking over with a calm and unconventional face, her calm and calm temperament, not disturbed by the chaos around her in the slightest, walked up to them, and said:

"This vault is filled with my mother's dowry, I want to count it, but my wife and the manager won't let me, is there such a reason in this world? How many things are in the storeroom, and is it impossible to see people? I'm not afraid of leaking money, so why wouldn't my wife? Are you afraid that others will not know that the things in the warehouse are fake? ”

Xie said hatefully: "What's the fake? What nonsense are you talking about? ”

"Since it's not fake, then why can't our sister and brother watch it? Lord Lin, what do you think about this? My brother and I want to check the dowry that our mother left us, does my wife have the right to stop it? You are well-informed, how is the arrangement of the house outside? My wife came to Yanjia to be my father's stepfamily, could it be that even the things left by my mother were passed on? ”

Yan Zhaohua looked at Lin Bao, but his tone was aimed at the Xie family, and asked aggressively, only to hear Lin Bao immediately reply: "Where did the young lady say, there is no such reason in the world, where can the step-wife inherit the dowry property of the former lady together, this is not in line with common sense, the lower official has never heard of such a thing outside, and the things left by the lady are naturally owned by the young lady and the son, what is the dispute?" ”

"Since there is no controversy, do my people follow my wishes whether they open the door or pry the door? I just ordered to smash the things inside, and some people have nothing to say but to watch, isn't this reasonable? ”

Yan Zhaohua said as calmly as a chatter, but Xie Shi was so angry that he couldn't help but fall down, and Lin Bao also came to insert a knife:

"Yes, the eldest lady is right, it's this reason. Since it is the eldest lady and the eldest prince, it is naturally up to the two of them to decide, not to mention smashing the door, even if it is smashing the things inside, no one can say anything, although the eldest lady asks someone to smash it, the lower official is here, see who dares to make trouble! One by one, they were all arrested and sent to prison according to the crime of worrying about the master's property! ”

With the words of the official messenger, Xie and Zhang Ping's people were stunned, to say that there were still radical people who wanted to make meritorious contributions in front of Xie just now, and now as soon as they heard that they were going to prison, they retracted their heads again, and for a while, they heard the sound of clicking the door in this East Garden.

Yan Ruiqian asked people to help Fu Bo, who was dying, up, and then took over the dowry list of fixed items from Yan Zhaohua's hand, and after the door was smashed open, he took someone to check it in person.

Yan Zhaohua and Xie were waiting outside the warehouse, during which Xie said that he was dizzy and wanted to leave, but Yan Zhaohua asked someone to move a chair for Xie and a big umbrella to shade the sun, and asked her to sit there and wait.

After about half an hour, Yan Ruiqian lowered his head and came out with the first list, and said to Yan Zhaohua:

"Sister, a few pages are roughly right, and there are a lot of inconsistencies, such as the eight-trick Qingfeng Golden Tripod written on the dowry list, but the corresponding one in it is a bronze small tripod; There is also this purple jade bamboo lamp, which is handmade by Master Ren, a priceless treasure, but the corresponding one has really become a lamp made of bamboo; There is also the white gold plate of flowers, which has become silver, and the production is particularly rough...... In addition, there are other jewelry categories not to mention, either they have changed things, or they are simply gone, and the most bizarre thing is not these, the dowry list says that there is a box of 1,000 taels of denominations, a total of 300,000 taels of silver tickets, but where is there still a trace of the silver ticket box inside. ”

Yan Ruiqian's words made everyone present in an uproar, 300,000 taels of silver ticket boxes, this ...... This was when the Guogong Mansion married his daughter, but he really gave Changning Hou face, this dowry, even the princess is nothing more than that, but now there is no more, everyone knows that they will sweep their eyes to the Xie family who pretended to be calm, only to see Xie Shi take a deep breath, seems to have adjusted his mentality, stood up by the Wang family, and also walked over, and said:

"I haven't opened these things in the warehouse, is there such a big discrepancy here? But the things won't run away on their own feet, it must be the guards who have stolen themselves and moved everything inside, if that's the case, see if I don't pick their skins! ”

Xie Shi's voice came out, but frightened the two old men who were guarding the door of the warehouse before, these two old men together are more than 150 years old, and it has not been two years since they came here to guard the door of the warehouse, and the warehouses have not been opened for many years, they are watching outside every day, where do they dare to take this responsibility, and immediately kneel down and cry and beg for mercy, shouting that they are wronged.

Zhang Ping kicked them one by one, kicked them to the side, and shouted like a villain:

"If you are so nervous, it must be you two dead old things, stealing the things of the master's house, and you still dare to quibble? Drag you to the officials, let you sit in prison for the rest of your life, and you will know that you are wrong! ”

Lin Bao couldn't look at it, and stepped forward and said: "I am the official, who does Manager Zhang want to pull to see the official?" These two old men don't want to steal things, but I have to ask them, do they have the key to this storehouse? ”

The two old men looked at the door, not responsible for anything, let alone the key, maybe they didn't even know what was in the warehouse, if they really heard Lin Bao ask, Zhang Ping choked and didn't dare to speak, not for anything else, he had a set of keys to this warehouse, and another set was in the ...... Mrs. there. Bullying two old men who have no power and power, Zhang Ping is good at it, but if he continues to talk about it now, it is tantamount to setting himself on fire, and he immediately shut up.

Yan Zhaohua didn't want him to be happy, so he took advantage of the situation and said:

"Yes, I also want to ask, where is the key to this warehouse on weekdays? Mr. Zhang is the general manager, you have a set of keys to all the gates in the house, and you are also in charge of a set of cards in the house. Who is in charge of the day-to-day work? You can tell Master Lin about these things, and let him distinguish them for me. ”

Zhang Ping looked embarrassed, and hid behind Xie Shi with his tail between his legs, Xie Shi glared at him, secretly said waste, and stood up quietly and said:

"The key is kept with me, but I haven't touched a penny of the things in this warehouse, what it was originally like, when I first got married, maybe the things have been changed, this is also maybe, the eldest lady is aggressive in these questions, isn't it obvious that people want to suspect me, let people accuse me of stealing your mother's dowry? But even if I, Xie Lan, am poor and crazy, I won't do such a bad thing. ”

Xie Shi's words were so loud that they really frightened some people who didn't know why, thinking if they were really wrong to blame this wife?

Seeing Yan Zhaohua take a step forward, he untied the purse around his waist, took out a silver ticket from his purse, spread it out to everyone, and said loudly:

"This silver ticket is in my mother's private treasury, there are three of them, each of which is a silver ticket with a denomination of one thousand taels, this silver ticket is a serial number, printed by Tongbao Money, many people may not know, this silver ticket of Tongbao Money, it has to exceed 100,000 taels of amount to be specially printed, my mother's dowry silver ticket that year, naturally all of them were printed by Tongbao Money, each chapter has a ticket number, as long as you take my mother's seal to Tongbao Money, you can know, how much money is in total, where did each one go, Is my mother's name still in existence, or has it been transferred to someone else's, as long as you ask the shopkeeper of Tongbao Money to ask, and then trouble him to go back and check it well, according to this ticket number, where can you not trace where the silver ticket went back then? Where is it being used now? After all, it's 300,000 taels, not 300,000 taels, 3,000 taels, 30,000 taels, so much money, there always has to be an explanation, right? ”

When Yan Zhaohua's words came out, the people present were stunned again, Xie stared at the silver ticket in Yan Zhaohua's hand with a dead face, of course she had an impression of this silver ticket, wasn't it exactly what she put in the agarwood box for Yan Zhaohua's Xie Wei that day? There were originally 30,000 taels in the box, Xie was greedy back then, so he was greedy for silver tickets and some good things, leaving three silver tickets and a few things that she didn't look down on, and put some rouge gouache into it, originally she didn't want the private box to be found out of the problem, so she threw it away like a hot potato, but she never thought that the silver ticket inside would actually give Yan Zhaohua such an inspiration.

If she really went to find the shopkeeper of Tongbao Bank, then she would ...... But that's it!
