Chapter 421: Investigation
Suddenly there was only one person left in the whole hall, he sat for a while, then stood up again, took two steps, and then jumped and disappeared from view.
Feng Zhong, as a household servant, is only a small official in Kyoto, and Liuying has his help, and he can't see anything else, but in some aspects it can be unimpeded.
For example, in and out of the household department, access to files and official records.
"What was the man on duty that day?" Liuying put down the note, found that there were a few vacancies on it, looked at Feng Zhong, and asked.
"I'll see." Although there are not many officials, they are different on duty every day, and Feng Zhong can only rely on records to think of where he can think of them.
Shadow handed him the record and said, "There is no one on it. ”
"What?"
Not long after Feng Zhong returned to Kyoto, Jin Yuan had previously asked Liuying to pay attention to the large caravans and docks, mainly because he was worried that those people would want to leave Beijing immediately after getting the silver.
In fact, this is also the most correct way of thinking, the official silver has a mark, such as this is still stored in the treasury and is not in circulation, it is not easy to find it in a distant place, but in Kyoto, it is much easier to be found.
Therefore, those who took the money will certainly want to carry it away as soon as possible.
However, it backfired, and Liuying squatted on the dock and the official road for several days, but did not find the slightest suspiciousness, but accidentally saw a person at the dock before.
The acquaintance is the person next to His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
As a secret guard, Liuying has some responsibilities to protect Jin Yuan's safety, in addition to his martial arts, he also has the ability to never forget, not to mention the books, but as long as he has seen this person, he can write it down.
This man went to the dock twice, but there was no extra escort around him, and when he arrived at the dock, he only stood and looked around for a while, and there was no one who came up to talk to him.
There was no contact with anyone, although Liuying felt that he was suspicious, and followed the person twice, but found nothing, so he had to put it down first, and started again from within the household department.
"How could there be no records?!"
Feng Zhong was very surprised when he held the record book, and immediately called the subordinate who was in charge of registration to come over, and angrily threw the record book on the face of his subordinate, and asked in a cold voice: "The record has to be signed in every day, why is there a vacancy on it?" ”
The boss was angry, and his subordinates trembled, he hurriedly caught the record book, quickly flipped through it, and was suddenly surprised, "How is it possible?" I looked at it yesterday and there was still it? How is this ...... That's not right! ”
"What's wrong?" Flowing Shadow narrowed her eyes and asked first.
The subordinate looked at Liuying, then at the angry Feng Zhong, and hesitated to speak.
Feng Zhong had a headache, and shouted angrily: "If you ask, I'll be grateful!" What are you rubbing! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The subordinate hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The record book is accompanied by the small one every day, and the small one has to be read every day, and the adult took it today, and the small one has not had time to look at it, but yesterday the small one just checked the record book before going down to the office, and the small one remembers it clearly, and the records on it are full of no vacancies." ”
"And, sir, please see."
The subordinate took two steps forward, respectfully handed the record book to Feng Zhong, swallowed his saliva, and said nervously: "There are traces on it, it's not that it wasn't written, but it was erased." ”
"Not bad."
Liuying stood up, didn't look at the subordinate, but said to Feng Zhong: "I also checked it just now, there is still some microhandwriting in the blank space, it is true that there was before, but I don't know who used what method to erase this place." ”
Liuying walked up to Feng Zhong and raised his hand to point out the blank space, prompting Feng Zhong to take a closer look.
Feng Zhong got a little closer, and if he really saw the clue, he immediately became even more angry, and said angrily:
"Who is the dignified household yamen, does anyone dare to enter and exit casually? What is even more hateful is that he dares to dare to modify the record book! ”
"Who the hell is it?!" Feng Zhong was almost angry.
Jin Yuan didn't have anything to do when he was in Kyoto, why did he come out with so many moths as soon as he left, forget it, but now he is the one who sits in the household department, and the people behind him either want to implicate themselves in harm, or they don't care about him at all!
How can this not make people angry.
It's not looked at at all by anyone, and no one can stand it!
"Call me all the people!"
Feng Zhong still had the record book on the case, waved his big hand, and said angrily: "I don't believe it, so many people have not seen who it is!" ”
The subordinate was not lightly frightened, he was stunned and did not move, Feng Zhong did not come out of anger, and immediately stepped forward and put a foot on the leg of the subordinate, and scolded: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Don't hurry up yet! ”
"It's because of a bunch of waste like you that these people dare not take our household department seriously!"
Feng Zhong took a sip and said viciously: "If I let me know who modified the record without authorization, I will not spare it!" ”
If it was confirmed that this person had a relationship with the person who stole the official silver, and it could be regarded as finding some useful clues, Feng Zhong would naturally not let him go easily.
The subordinate was kicked, and he didn't care about the pain, so he quickly ran out, although Feng Zhong had a bad temper, it was rare for him to have such a big fire, and his subordinates were frightened, and his heart was jumping wildly all the way.
The loss of official silver is a big deal, Feng Zhong is not angry, then there are ghosts, but where can they bear these little minions, it is simply a fire at the city gate, they are the pond fish that have been affected.
As long as he thinks that the records have been tampered with in his own hands, he is terrified, and he longs to sleep with the record book in his arms every day, so that these problems can be eliminated?
No one could give him an answer, and no one bothered to answer, and in about half an hour, the entire household department had arrived, except for Jin Yuan, the head of the household department, and a few people of the same rank as Feng Zhong were all called.
Feng Zhong didn't know that Zhuo Changqing and the political envoy of Kyoto also knew about the disappearance of the official silver, except for the person in charge who was on duty that day, only he and Jin Yuan knew.
The rest of the household department didn't know anything about this matter, and they couldn't tell it, otherwise the matter would be exposed, and the old emperor would know it clearly in an instant.
"What the hell is it that brought us here in such a hurry?"
The other household servant looked at a few people around him, and then looked at a group of subordinates standing opposite, he was very surprised by this meeting, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked.
Feng Zhong is considered an old man in the household department, and he is not close to Jin Yuan on weekdays, but Jin Yuan thinks that he is an old man, and there is no fault, so he is still very good to him.
These people in the household department naturally eat this set, Jin Yuan has to give people who treat them well, where do they dare to exclude.
Feng Zhong saw that everyone had arrived, and he didn't delay, and immediately asked, "Who was on duty on the eighteenth day of this month?" ”
"It's clearly written in the record book, do you still need to call everyone to ask?" Xiao Xu, the left attendant of the household department, glanced at Feng Zhong, and his tone was light, and he could also hear the displeasure.
Everyone looked at Xiao Xu, even the household servant who spoke before also looked over, Feng Zhong naturally looked at Xiao Xu, arched his hand, and said, "Lord Xiao doesn't know something. ”
