Zhang Shumo carefully checked the items sent over, while the two people who were sent to assist him sat far away and chatted. As more and more items were sent, Zhang Shumo wanted to call them over, but after thinking about it, it seemed inappropriate for him to call these seniors around, so he had to give up checking for the time being, and arrange for his subordinates to put the items in batches.

Soon, the yard was full, and the bounty should have ended, and no new items had been delivered. Zhang Shumo then went to check the quantity of each batch of items.

At this time, Qin Sheng led people to the side courtyard, and when he saw that Zhang Shumo had arranged the items very properly, he nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you still have some rules and regulations in doing things, so our work will be reduced a lot." ”

Zhang Shumo smiled and didn't say anything, but continued to check the quantity. Seeing this, Qin Sheng scolded the two who were chatting on the side: "Wei Shan Qiaohai, why don't you help Zhang Shumo check the items?" ”

Wei Shan sneered: "Qin Sheng, we are only responsible for guarding the items, not checking the quantity, so why are you scolding us?" ”

Zhang Shumo didn't expect the interpersonal relationship in the Cao Yuan to be so complicated, and hurriedly said to Qin Sheng: "Mr. Qin doesn't have to be angry, he came to check the quantity when he had nothing to do, Mr. Wei and Mr. Qiao have been guarding the items and doing their duty. ”

Qin Sheng was not annoyed, he smiled at Zhang Shumo: "Shumo, don't blame me for not reminding you, there is no need to be a good person in this Cao Courtyard, because everyone here is a wolf who eats people and does not spit out bones, if you are kind, you will be used by others." ”

After speaking, Qin Sheng said to the people assigned to his group: "Everyone, someone will leave after noon, so let's sort out the reward items before noon so that the adults who leave can receive them." ”

Soon, Qin Sheng led people to start sorting out the items according to the list of rewards, and Zhang Shumo also helped on the side. Suddenly, a staff member hurriedly ran to Qin Sheng's side and whispered to him. And Qin Sheng showed a strange expression on his face and looked at Zhang Shumo.

Zhang Shumo also discovered the abnormality of the two, looked at Qin Sheng and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with the pool? ”

Qin Sheng nodded: "There is a jade pendant missing from the items given to Liu Ye, and it has been checked twice, so it shouldn't be wrong." ”

"What?" Zhang Shumo was shocked, how could he make a mistake when he was on an errand for the first time, he had been staying here just now, how could there be one less object?

Zhang Shumo thought as he came to the items given to Liu Ye, took the list and checked it again. Wei Shan and Qiao Hai also hurriedly ran over when they heard Qin Sheng's words, standing on the side anxiously waiting for the results of Zhang Shumo's check.

After a while, Zhang Shumo put down the list and looked at Qin Sheng: "There is indeed a jade pendant missing." After speaking, he looked at Wei Shan and Qiao Hai again: "When I was checking the items before, were there any suspicious people approaching?" ”

Wei Shan's head shook like a rattle: "It can't be less, no one has ever come to this courtyard except for the people who deliver things, how can there be one less?" It must be Chen Lin's people who have one more thing to remember! ”

Qiao Hai also hurriedly echoed: "That's right, we have been watching, and there will never be one less." If it's wrong, Chen Lin's people are wrong! ”

Zhang Shumo also had no idea, judging from the current situation, either he remembered one more item, or he had one less when he sent it, but how could this kind of thing be said clearly? Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo looked at Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng sighed: "This matter is not trivial, let's report it to Dean Peng, and let him decide." ”

A moment later, everyone in the Cao Courtyard gathered in the side courtyard, Peng Mao sat in the courtyard with an iron face, Zhang Shumo and Wei Shan Qiaohai knelt in front of him.

"Tell me what's going on!" Peng Mao's voice was not high, but it made Zhang Shumo sweat on his foreheads.

"Lord Qiqi, the three of us have been guarding in the side courtyard, and we have not found anything abnormal, I really don't know why there is one less object!" Zhang Shumo said.

Chen Lin was not happy when she heard it: "Zhang Shumo, what do you mean?" It's not that you lost it, but did we lose it before we gave it to you? Then why didn't you check it face to face when you took over? ”

"Humph! There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm! Mr. Peng, this son poked such a big basket for the first time, I think it is better to report it directly to General Su and let him decide! ”

"That's right, Mr. Peng. This matter is very important, although the object is not priceless, but it is indeed His Majesty's reward, and it will be a shame to get it wrong, and it is better to report it to General Su in my humble opinion. ”

Among the staff, the oldest Lu Lao and Wu Lao spoke separately.

Peng Mao snorted: "This matter is fully in charge of our Cao Yuan, and it will be reported to General Su, can our Cao Yuan get out of it?" ”

Zhang Shumo pondered for a long time, and said to Peng Mao: "Mr. Peng, if Mr. Chen and the others are not mistaken, and our side is not negligent, then there is only one possibility, the thing was lost on the way to the side courtyard, so we have to find the person who carried the things at that time to ask what happened." ”

"Qin Sheng, you quickly go to the housekeeper and ask him to summon all the people who have carried things to the side courtyard." Speaking of this, Peng Mao looked at the sky: "It's less than half an hour before the future, we must investigate it before the time, otherwise we can only report to General Su." ”

Zhang Shumo's face was solemn, whether this matter was related to him or not, once it was reported to General Su, he would not be able to escape the crime of dereliction of duty, he didn't expect that the first day he came to the General's Mansion would be so tricky, it seems that the water in the General's Mansion is really deep.

After a while, all the family members who had carried the belongings gathered in the side courtyard, and Peng Mao did not beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Which of you is responsible for carrying General Liu Ye's belongings?" ”

The two subordinates stood up tremblingly. Peng Mao asked again, "Did anything strange happen during the transportation?" ”

The two shook their heads and hurriedly explained: "Lord Qiqi Peng, we know that these are items that His Majesty has given to the generals, so we are naturally very careful, how can something else happen?" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Shumo asked, "We don't want to blame you, we think about the process of transportation." For example, are there any strange people passing by you, and are there any things that happened on your way to carry your belongings that caught your attention? ”

A subordinate heard Zhang Shumo's reminder and suddenly said: "In this way, something really happened, during the transportation of the two of us, General Liu Ye's younger brother Liu Kuang stopped us and wanted to see what His Majesty had rewarded General Liu." ”

Zhang Shumo frowned when he heard this: "Liu Kuang? How is him again! ”
