Chapter 423: Clues
"Qi Liang is not here, Wu Fan is still there, he happened to be on duty on the eighteenth day, and it was the same if Lord Feng asked him in advance." Xiao Xu said.
Feng Zhong took a deep breath at this time, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned to look at Wu Fan who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Who went into the silver vault that day, do you remember?" ”
The silver treasury is heavy, there are no people coming at all on weekdays, there are fewer people coming and going, and most of them are familiar faces, and it is no problem for Wu Fan to remember so many people.
What's more, no one came that day!
After thinking about it, Wu Fan first arched his hand towards Feng Zhong, then raised his eyes to look at Feng Zhong and said, "No one entered or left the treasury that day. ”
"Fart!"
Feng Zhong burst into foul language, Xiao Xu looked at him in surprise, and became even more curious.
"Everything that my subordinates say is true."
Although Wu Fan was nervous, he still looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and there was no falsification at all, "His subordinates were on duty with Qi Liang that day, and no one came to the silver vault during this period. ”
"Qi Liang is not here at the moment, no one can confirm your words, what proof do you have?" Feng Zhong asked.
Wu Fan looked at the person in charge of the record, pointed at him and said, "He can." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The person who recorded it seemed to have remembered something, and said again and again: "My subordinates remembered, I and the two guards at sunrise, no one has ever been to the silver vault!" ”
Feng Zhong frowned violently, and the same frown was the flowing shadow on the beam.
According to what these two people said, no one came at all that day, Feng Zhong found that the silver was missing on the second day, and Lord Jin left Kyoto on the 16th, exactly one day in between.
Could it be that the vacancy in the 18th record was originally to mislead them, and the silver was not lost on the 18th, but on the 17th?!
But the biggest suspicion at the moment is Qi Liang who was not present, if it has nothing to do with him, why is he not here today?
That's right!
And the names of people who have been erased from the records!
If it is Qi Liang, then this person's suspicion is a little bigger, but if it is not him and someone else, this matter will have to be thought of differently.
Liuying thought in his heart.
Feng Zhong finally got smart once, and soon remembered the matter of the record book, picked it up and looked through it, no surprise, there was no record of Qi Liang on it!
The name of the person who has been erased is Qi Liang!
"Someone!"
Feng Zhong immediately made a decision, and while everyone was still thinking, he shouted loudly, so shocked that Xiao Xu, who was closest to him, trembled.
"Go and bring Qi Liang to me!" Feng Zhong commanded.
When the subordinates heard this, several people hurriedly retreated, and taking advantage of this effort, the shadow fell silently behind everyone, and left the household yamen with the crowd.
This Qi Liang must be found!
Xiao Xu eased up, patted Feng Zhong on the shoulder angrily, and said angrily: "Why did you startle me today!" ”
"Not really."
The squire also walked up to the two of them, nodded in agreement, and said, "It's really a bit too much." ”
As he spoke, he lowered his voice, approached Feng Zhong, and asked, "Lord Feng, you want to talk to us about it." ”
Being stared at like this by the two, Feng Zhong slowly realized that his previous emotions seemed to be a little excessive, if it was just an omission in the record, where did he need to be so angry.
It's just that judging from the current situation, the possibility of internal ghosts in the household department is a little greater, even Xiao Xu, who has a good relationship with him on weekdays, he doesn't dare to say it, so as not to be shocked.
This matter is related to his own net worth and life, and Feng Zhong does not dare to play with it.
After thinking about it, Feng Zhong found a lame reason, suddenly smiled helplessly, and said: "This official was on duty that day, and when he was resting, he mistakenly left the family heirloom jade pendant in the yamen, but he came the next day and found that it was gone, hey! ”
Although the reason is lame, but fortunately, Feng Zhong is very sincere, shaking his head and sighing: "That jade pendant is my Feng family's heirloom, if this is lost in my hands, I can't explain it to my parents." ”
"I see!"
Xiao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and the others present also breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that Lord Feng's jade pendant had fallen, anyway, he was not the thief who stole it, everyone was relieved, and when they were not nervous, everyone had an interest in discussing, and immediately began to whisper.
"Maybe it's really that Qi Liang who took it."
"I can't say that, it's normal for people to have no one at home, anyway, when someone comes and confronts him, he won't know the truth."
"Indeed...... It's not good to wronged others. ”
Everyone was talking, and they were completely free of their previous nervousness, but Feng Zhong turned around with others, and now he was the most nervous person.
Only he knows about the disappearance of the official bank, and he was already worried about such a major event, but now he finally found some clues, and he only hopes to catch up with the arrest of people, otherwise the clues will be broken again.
"Okay, let's retreat from the rest of the people, what else are you doing, don't leave anyone who is okay, they are all waiting in the yamen, Lord Feng's jade pendant is not found for a day, and everyone will be suspicious."
Xiao Xu said in a loud voice: "Let's all go out and wait." ”
Everyone was relaxed, even if they were detained as suspects and not allowed to leave, they didn't care about it, and they walked out obediently one by one, and each returned to his place.
Besides, Liuying's side, Liuying didn't know where Qi Liang's family lived, so he could only follow those people to Qi Liang's residence first, and as the messenger said, there was no one in Qi Liang's house at all.
Liuying glanced at a few people in front of him, then turned the corner into the alley, and then jumped and easily climbed into the courtyard wall.
After about half a cup of tea, a figure turned out of the wall again, and landed lightly without making a sound.
Instead of returning to the original path, the Shadow quickly descended into the depths of the alley, and soon lost his tracks.
Qin Shi had already arranged the affairs of Qian Zhuang and Liuliju, and was waiting for Liuying to come back in Shangshu Mansion at the moment.
Liu Ji also came back, knowing that Qin Shi was going to personally escort the silver to Lindu, he was very uneasy, and kept persuading, but Qin Xi made up his mind that he didn't listen, Liu Ji was half angry, but he still insisted, so he followed all the way back to Shangshu Mansion.
"You don't have any effort at all, what if something happens?"
Liu Ji sat down opposite Qin Xian, glaring at people, where did he still look like a humble gentleman on weekdays, if he really described it, he really looked like a worried daughter-in-law whose husband was disobedient.
"Tsk, why don't you look down on me!"
Qin Yan was annoyed, he was only looked down upon by Qin Xi this morning, but he didn't expect Liu Ji to come again, Qin Yan was quite unhappy.
"It's not something to look down on!"
Liu Ji took a deep breath and patiently continued to persuade, "You don't have martial arts, this amount of silver is huge, it is inevitable that you will be targeted, if something really happens, don't mention the silver first, if you are in danger and injured, what can you do?" ”
Hearing the concern in Liu Ji's words, Qin Xian's mood improved a lot, he got up and walked to Liu Ji's side, stretched out his hand to hook his neck, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I've already discussed with Liuying, let him arrange a few reliable people for me." ”
