The county magistrate sitting on the throne frowned even more, this matter did not seem to be as simple as imagined, and he could not get useful information by asking him like this.

Then he said directly: "Take me to Xue Mansion, and I'll see what the warehouse looks like." ”

"Yes, sir." The housekeeper hurriedly stood up, and then the county order also gave the main seat, and the subordinates prepared a sedan chair, and went to the Xue Mansion like that.

A large group of people from the Xue Mansion came out to welcome the arrival of the county order, if it was in normal times, the county order would be very happy to receive such treatment, but now the situation is different, thinking of this bad thing, he can't laugh.

I had to do everything I needed to do on my face, and hurriedly went over to help Xue Yangzheng at the front, and said, "Brother Xue, please get up quickly, you and I are also old acquaintances, so you don't have to be like this." ”

Xue Yangzheng's face was not very good, he reluctantly smiled at the county order, and said politely: "Brother Deng, I am really helpless, this 100,000 silver taels is not a small amount, if the amount is smaller, I will treat it as if it has not happened, and cause trouble to the adults." ”

"Don't be polite, don't say that 100,000 taels of silver is ten silver, we should find it." The county commander waved his hand to signal the kneeling people behind him to get up as well, and then followed Xue Yangzheng into the mansion.

"Brother Deng, I heard the housekeeper say, you want to take a look at the warehouse, I'll take you to see it now." Xue Yangzheng was also very happy to do things, and after receiving the notice, he went directly to the study to get the key to meet the county order.

"Okay." The prefectural order should be issued in one bite.

Xue Yangzheng said to the servants who followed him: "Everyone is gone, let's go and get busy." ”

Behind the two of them, only the county order was followed by four officials, and the county order observed the surrounding environment and asked the situation carefully: "When was this silver tael put into the warehouse?" ”

Xue Yangzheng frowned and thought for a moment before replying, "It was at noon seven or eight days ago. ”

"Didn't anyone go to the warehouse in between?"

"Since I didn't think about saving this batch of money, I originally planned to buy some young horses and some good grain and grass, so I have been contacting these merchants in the middle, and I didn't have time to take care of the house when I ran around outside, and these things were not until they were negotiated, I took out the key to open the warehouse, but I didn't expect that one of the warehouses, a full 100,000 silver taels in it, disappeared." Xue Yangzheng slowly recalled the events of the past few days, but she really never opened those warehouses.

"What you mean is that you haven't touched the warehouse for five or six days." The county order's frowning brows are almost Sichuan, if the time is shorter, it is fine, after all, there are so many silver taels, and there are a lot of them.

He could also directly close the city and search door to door, and the results would definitely come out, but he didn't expect that there would be such a long time in the middle, which was completely providing criminals with an opportunity to transfer stolen goods, so the difficulty of solving the case would be even higher.

The county commander couldn't help but sigh deeply, Xue Yangzheng's heart suddenly lifted, looked at him nervously and asked, "My lord, is there anything you can't say." ”

"Nope." The county magistrate didn't want to destroy the expectations in Xue Yangzheng's heart, but he knew in his heart that there were very few possibilities to get it back.

Where would Xue Yangzheng believe his words, naturally he had to carefully observe the emotions of the county order, and saw that he really had no other alternative emotions, so he slowly put down the heart that was raised. Xiaotao Chinese

All the way to the warehouse, the county order has sentenced the case to life, the warehouse is sealed, only a little small window, revealing a little sunshine, not enough to pass people, let alone transport stolen goods, then there is only one place to enter and exit is the gate.

The county commander looked around the warehouse, there were many footprints inside, and he couldn't tell which one was a thief, but the county commander still reported some expectations, and asked Xue Yangzheng: "How did you leave the footprints here?" ”

"My lord, this is the day when I brought the people from the house to carry these silver taels, at least eleven or twelve people." Xue Yangzheng hugged his fist and replied with a slight bow.

The prefectural commander was already a little disappointed, but he still asked with the last trace of expectation: "Then didn't you find footsteps on the ground when you came in?" ”

Xue Yangzheng shook his head and said: "At that time, I just opened the warehouse door, and the subordinates went in first, and someone said that there was no silver tael, so I hurriedly entered, and I was already in a hurry, and I didn't pay attention to whether there were other footsteps under my feet." ”

The county commander's eyes lit up slightly, so that is, there may be someone who saw the footsteps, and hurriedly said to Xue Yangzheng: "Even so, then you can quickly help me find out who entered the warehouse that day, I want to ask a little bit about the situation." ”

"Yes." Xue Yangzheng bowed his head slightly and hurriedly responded, after all, this is also to help him find those silver taels, how can there be no reason not to help.

Xue Yangzheng was still very neat, and within a short time of the order, five or six people came over, facing the luggage of the two people: "I've seen the county master, I've seen the master." ”

"Let's get up first, and if the adults ask you something, you will answer honestly." Xue Yangzheng raised his hand and hurriedly asked them to get up, and explained again, and these people hurriedly greeted them.

"Which of you is from the advanced warehouse?" The county magistrate did not delay, and walked directly to several people and asked.

Five or six people looked at each other, and then two of them slowly raised their hands and whispered, "But the two of us went in first." ”

The county commander's eyes swept over the two of them, and then asked, "Why do you remember so clearly?" ”

"Hui Yu, I had a slight conflict with him that day, but the housekeeper went to arrange for us to carry the box together, and later there was a quarrel over who went in first, so I remember the time more clearly." One of the good-looking little guys replied first.

"The officer asked you, have you seen any other footprints since you went in?" The county order did not pursue it again, he was originally a fraud, if there was something wrong, he could find out, so he didn't have any other thoughts, and continued to ask.

"At that time......" The handsome little guy hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to continue or not, but the county magistrate saw it, drank and said, "Just say what you have." ”

"At that time, because I was messing with him, I didn't pay attention to my feet, and kept looking at the wall." The little guy was a little embarrassed to say these words, and his tone was also stumbling.

Xue Yangzheng smiled reluctantly, and said with a haha: "Let the adults laugh." ”

"It's okay, but who's the second person to go in?" The county magistrate waved his hand, didn't take it seriously, and looked at the remaining people.

In the end, it was another person who raised his hand, his body was more rounded, not very tall, and he looked a little weak.
