[The state after the hangover is really bad, and the third is moved to tomorrow. 】

said that as soon as Sun Shaozong returned home that night, he got three pieces of news first.

First, Jia Zheng has relented, and Shuntianfu will deal with Qiu Wen impartially - if he can say this, it is actually equivalent to sparing Qiu Wen's life.

Of course, even if the capital crime can be avoided, it is inevitable to be sent to exile for thousands of miles.

And now the war in southern Xinjiang is in full swing......

If he is really sent to the Yungui army to 'serve', I am afraid that it is better to die happily.

However, this is already the biggest concession that Jia Zheng can make, and as an irrelevant outsider, Sun Shaozong has no reason to continue to meddle.

The second news is that the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that went north with the army have been officially transported to Sun's mansion and are now being counted and liquidated in the treasury.

At the same time, there were also many earthen ceremonies presented by the official gentry of Huguang, among which the treasures have been listed, just waiting for Sun Shaozong to see them in his spare time.

The last news is that Princess Beijing was finally diagnosed as pregnant, and Shui Rong, who is nearly middle-aged, was overjoyed, so she decided to hold a banquet three days later to entertain relatives and friends from all walks of life, and Sun Shaozong was also invited.

This one......

He really should have gone over and looked.

…………

Entering his own courtyard, Sun Shaozong felt a little surprisingly quiet, and turned around inside and out, and sure enough, except for a few little maids who stayed behind, those with names and surnames were not at home.

Ruan Rong and Xiangling went to Jia Yingchun's house to discuss the day when they married Xing Xiuyan; Second Sister You heard that there were more than 100,000 taels of silver in the treasury, as well as many rare antiques, so she took her two children over to see the rarity.

This day is surrounded by warblers and swallows, and when it calms down at first, I am really a little unaccustomed to it.

Left and right are also idle, Sun Shaozong took the sorrow of frost and practiced some routines in the yard, which was a lively muscle.

was playing up, and suddenly heard that the housekeeper Cho Joong Ki was asking to see him outside.

Sun Shaozong put the sword on the weapon rack in disappointment, took the towel from the maid's hand, and went outside while wiping his sweat.

was about to ask Cho Joong Ki what urgent matter bothered him, but he couldn't help but see that he was holding a very familiar thing in his hand: a post with a dark and shiny body.

Black post?!

Sun Shaozong hurriedly snatched the general, looked at it several times, then turned around and went straight to the small kitchen, set aside a few pieces of charcoal, and threw the post on it.

Sure enough, after the post was burning, it left a palm-sized word of 'injustice'.

It's really a black post!

But this is not clear, why did a black post suddenly appear?

"Back to the second master's words."

Seeing Sun Shaozong's gloomy face, Zhao Zhongji naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained: "This post was found in the box with a seal when I had just counted the silver, and I always felt that something was wrong, so I brought it to you for a look." ”

Found in a chest of silver?

"Let's go and have a look in the treasury."

Sun Shaozong made a decision immediately and rushed to the Sun family's treasury with Zhao Joong Ki.

This storehouse is located in the west of the backyard, and is usually guarded by eight people and nine dogs.

At present, the guards and dogs are waiting outside the door, but inside are mandarin ducks, Si Qi, and pomegranates, who are taking inventory with people.

It turned out that this group of women's army was the leader, and it is no wonder that Second Sister You did not shy away from bringing the children over to join in the fun.

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside, all the women and several male servants hurriedly gathered around to greet him.

Sun Shaozong immediately asked straight to the point: "Where did you find that post?" Who was the first to find out?"

Hearing this, all the women looked at each other, and finally Pomegranate cautiously asked: "Second master, is this the black post?" ”

It turned out that they also guessed like this, so they asked someone to forward it to Sun Shaozong.

"I'm not sure."

Sun Shaozong did not admit it directly, after all, this time it was different from the last time, and it was not directly linked to the murder, so it is impossible to confirm 100% whether it is a black post or not.

After a pause, he repeated Fang Cai's question.

This time someone finally answered:

"If you go back to the second master, it's this box."

One of the male servants pointed to a large wooden box and said, "A few of us tore the seal, and as soon as we opened the box, we saw a black sticker lying on the white silver. ”

"So, you found it together?"

Seeing several male servants nodding in unison, Sun Shaozong turned his gaze to the box containing silver.

At this time, the lid of the wooden box was wide open, and there were stacks of silver ingots inside, and it seemed that the official inventory had not yet begun.

When I looked closely, I found that some of the top silver ingots were somewhat stained with oily ink, even the edges of the boxes.

Judging by this scale, the black post has been stored in it for at least some time, and it has experienced bumps in handling.

This basically ruled out the suspicion of his own subordinates.

After carefully studying it for a long time, Sun Shaozong closed the lid again and checked the seal.

And not only checked this one, but also opened and unopened, a total of more than a dozen boxes, all of which were checked by him.

"Master, do you see anything?"

At this time, Second Sister You couldn't help but come up curiously, probably because she was afraid of Sun Shaozong's scolding, and specially reported the girl with pigtails.

Sun Shaozong rubbed his hand lightly on the top of his daughter's head, and muttered: "Of the dozen or so boxes, only three of them can open the cracks and stuff the black stickers into them without leaving any traces, and this box is one of them." ”

Second Sister You nodded first, and then wondered, "How do you know that these are useful?" ”

"At least it proves that there is a high probability that it was stuffed through the gap after it was sealed."

Sun Shaozong said, and suddenly ordered: "You continue to take inventory, I have something to go out." ”

Before the words fell, he strode out.

"Second master, second master!"

Second Sister You took a few steps with the child in her arms, but Sun Shaozong turned a deaf ear, seeing the majestic back disappearing outside the warehouse door, she couldn't help but pouted and stomped her feet: "People still say that they will take this silver to help the fun at night, how can they leave!" ”

…………

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhang Cheng drove the carriage out of Jiaomen, all the way non-stop, and went straight to Dongbianmen.

Needless to say, the destination is the camp where Lu Jianxing and the others are temporarily stationed.

Hit the sealed box and set off to the north, and the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have been in a state of heavy guarding, and most of the time they are still piled up in the cabin.

The easiest opportunity to be taken advantage of is probably last night - at that time, more than half of the soldiers and horses were invited by Sun Shaozong to Wangjiang Tower, and there were only a few dozen people left in Nuoda's camp.

In addition, the black post incident has only appeared in the capital.

If Sun Shaozong's speculation is correct, maybe he will be able to find out some clues in the camp.

But......

What he can't wait to know most at the moment is where the bloody case behind the black post is! ()
