Impossible! How could there be no anomaly, could it be that the silver was transported away a long time ago?

"Uncle, what should I do now, these carriages are fine, isn't it ......" Xiao Ran stepped forward and asked, now he was also puzzled, and said uncertainly: "Uncle, did you say that it is possible that the silver was hidden in the carriage and transported to the agent together?" Or is one of these agents behind the scenes? ”

"Don't rule it out?" Although Gu Bei thinks it is impossible, he can't deny it, if there is a black hand among the agents, it will be a little tricky.

After all, it is a cooperative relationship, and he doesn't dare to check it out with great fanfare, if he really does this, who will dare to cooperate with him in the future to do business, Gu Bei would rather give up this batch of silver than lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

"How many of you are thinking about it, did the carriage have any accidents or stops in the middle of the carriage?" Gu Bei was very sure that the silver must have been transported by truck.

"Nope."

"Nope."

"No anomalies."

“......”

The six generals shook their heads.

Really go check the agent? Still only retrieved the silver tael, no longer tracking down the black hand, the six of them shook their heads, making Gu Bei a little uncertain.

"Aunt, uncle, I remember, carriage No. 3 did have a little accident on the way." The family who followed carriage three said hesitantly.

"Really?" Gu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and said with hope: "You can tell me what happened at that time, and tell me the situation at that time." ”

"Uncle, I'm following car No. 3...... That's how it happened. The No. 3 family will describe the situation verbatim.

"Touching porcelain? Interesting. Gu Bei touched his chin and said.

It turned out that after the No. 3 car drove along the Qinhuai Riverside Street for a certain distance, the horse driving the car ran a little fast on the street, and somehow, the horse suddenly knocked down a woman. When the two guys saw that they had bumped into someone, they were a little panicked and hurriedly came over to ask. Seeing that the woman was fine, it was just a little flesh wound, so the guy who was in a hurry dropped a dozen copper coins and prepared to leave.

Who knew that the woman would not give up, but fell on the ground and cried out, saying that she could not walk......

Passers-by, merchants, and hawkers saw that there was a bustle to see, and immediately surrounded them, whether it was the 21st century or ancient times, there was never a shortage of people to see the bustle.

In the face of the accusations of the onlookers, the guy who was in a hurry was flushed with anger, obviously it was just a little skin injury, and he wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute.

Another guy, afraid that things would make a big fuss, was busy persuading him to lose some money.

When the woman heard that the loss of money was private, she was asking for it, and she was afraid that the matter would be too big, so she had to agree. The guy who was in a hurry had no silver to compensate, and when he was about to say something, the man next to him grabbed him and promised to help him pay first.

After a quarter of an hour's delay, the woman took two taels of silver and went away with a smile on her face, and the man had to continue to drive on.

"Uncle, what is touching porcelain?" Seeing a new word popping out of his uncle's mouth, Xiao Ran asked curiously.

“......”

That's all you, more than 100,000 whys, so many questions.

Seeing that it was just an ordinary collision, Gu Bei always felt that something was wrong, first of all, on the street where people came and went, why did the carriage run so fast, and the woman appeared too coincidentally, the carriage was running, even if it was stopped, there would be inertia, how could it be a little skin trauma?

"Were there many onlookers at that time? The carriage was also surrounded by the crowd? Gu Bei asked.

"Uncle, at that time, the fierce son was in the crowd, and the small one happened to be outside, and the carriage was also surrounded." The No. 3 family general said with a smile: "There is another strange thing, many people gathered around to watch the excitement at that time, but a few people walked out laughing instead. ”

"What's so strange about this, it's not good to look at it, so I just left." Xiao Ran glared at No. 3 angrily and said.

Intuition told Gu Bei that there was a problem with these people, and he hurriedly asked, "What are those people holding in their hands?" ”

"Those people were all carrying small boxes, and they were exactly the same, so the little ones felt strange." The third general grabbed his head, thought about it for a moment, and said.

"Yes, these are the people." Gu Bei grabbed No. 3's hand and said excitedly, "You have all worked hard, find Qing'er to receive the reward when you return home." ”

"Aunt Xie." Hearing that there is a reward, several people look at each other and smile, whether they are soldiers or generals, it is not just for a few dollars to support the family, not to mention that the uncle has always been generous, and the reward must be a lot.

Gu Bei smiled slightly, for him, now that the silver has been recovered, and the mastermind behind the scenes has a new clue, he just needs to understand that as long as those people dare to come to get the silver, it will not be far to catch the mastermind behind the scenes.

In order not to startle the snake and find the mastermind behind the scenes, Gu Bei chartered the entire restaurant, rewarded the generals, let them eat and drink well, and do things well tomorrow, so he took the resentful Xiao Ran into the carriage and rushed to the mansion.

After a busy day, Gu Bei was also a little tired, but before resting, he still needed to go to Chen Jinwang to ask about something.

"Boss, did you really find the silver taels?" Chen Jinwang jumped up from the chair happily, but he didn't expect that in just one day, the owner had already found the silver, so wouldn't he be able to clear his suspicion soon.

"Lao Chen, don't be too happy, my uncle is just finding the silver now, but your suspicion is not small." Xiao Ran said.

Chen Jinwang was stunned suddenly, like a frosted eggplant, he only listened to Gu Beidao: "Old Chen, let me ask you, do you carry the key with you?" ”

"Dongjia, it's really not my ......" Hearing the key, Chen Jinwang said with a bitter face.

"You just say, don't you?"

"Yes, yes."

"Are you sure you have it with you?" But think about it, if the key can't be explained, Lao Chen, you understand......" Halfway through speaking, Gu Bei stopped, he believed that Chen Jinwang could understand.

"I'm ......" Chen Jinwang just wanted to speak, looked at Gu Bei's face, and understood that if he couldn't say it clearly...... He didn't dare to think about the consequences, and tried to think about it.

Time passed little by little, Gu Bei didn't urge, took a sip of tea, and knocked his fingers rhythmically on the table. If Chen Jinwang can't say it clearly, he can only abandon him......

After half a cup of tea, Chen Jinwang's cheeks became more and more sweat stains, he didn't dare to wipe them, after a cup of tea, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said loudly: "Dongjia, ten days ago, you ...... Your cousin invited me to drink, and he sent me home at the time, I don't know if it was ...... Only then can I get the key, the rest of the time, I hang the key on my body, even sleeping, bathing never out of sight, for this my wife laughed at me......"

With a "pop", Gu Bei shouted: "Old Xiao, let someone go and find Gu Cheng." ”

Gu Bei didn't know if it was Gu Cheng, but since Lao Chen said it, it was estimated that he was not suspicious, and the time of drinking was just a few days before the loss of silver, so he had to suspect that it was Gu Cheng.

After a while, Gu Cheng's voice sounded outside the door: "Brother Bei, I don't know what's the matter with me in such a hurry?" What if I have a friend for a drink? ”

"Gu Cheng, you have committed a crime, are you guilty?" Gu Bei slapped the table and shouted.

Everyone's breath was held all of a sudden, Gu Cheng looked at the battle in the room, and the three of them were staring at him without blinking, which made Gu Cheng start beating drums in his heart, and stammered: "North, Brother North, don't be scared of your brother, you are cowardly for your brother......"

"You're still knowingly asking? Lao Chen has already said it, do you want me to say it? Gu Bei's eyes narrowed, and a cold glow flashed, but he didn't expect that he really had a problem. Sure enough, the dog meat can't be served......

"I... Brother Bei, I, I was forced......" Gu Cheng heard that Lao Chen had already said it, so he stopped quibbling, and said it like a bean.

It turned out that one night, Gu Cheng was walking on the way home, passing through a deserted alley, a man in black took out a dagger and held him hostage, asked him to do one thing, and promised to give him five hundred taels of silver afterwards, if he didn't do it, he would kill him, Gu Cheng, who was afraid of death, had to pretend to agree.

At first, he walked cautiously, for fear that the men in black would find him, and every time he went home, he would take the road where there were people. A few days passed like this, just when he thought it was okay to let his guard down. When I got home at night and was about to light the oil lamp, I felt that something was wrong in the room and wanted to run outside, when a slightly hoarse voice came from the house:

"Gu Cheng, you don't have to run, since I found you, I'm not afraid of you running, there is a saying that a monk can't run to the temple if he runs, you better think about it."

The footsteps he had just taken were retracted, Gu Cheng knew that he couldn't run, he had already called out his name, he ran away today, what about next time?

I only heard the man in black continue, and said: "Don't worry, just let you help me do a small thing, after the deed is done, you get the silver, and the two don't owe each other, if you don't do it, hehe......"

The gloomy voice sounded, which made Gu Cheng feel particularly uncomfortable and harsh, he understood what the man in black meant, if he didn't help, he would kill him, but he didn't know what he wanted him to do, wouldn't it be for him to kidnap Brother Bei or assassinate Miss Bai? If that's the case, he can't do it, the power in the army of the Guogong Mansion is huge, and if he really wants to do it, he will have no money to spend when the time comes.

As if knowing what he was thinking, the voice of the man in black came, and he said bewildermently: "It's just that you are asked to do a trivial thing, and you will not be asked to kill Gu Bei, after the matter is completed, you will still be chic with the silver, and no one will suspect you ......"

Gu Cheng was a little moved, if it was just a little thing, could he help or help, after all, fate is there, and there will be a future. If he doesn't help, he will definitely not be the opponent of the man in black with his three-legged cat kung fu, and today next year will be his death day.

"That'...... Tell me about it, yes... What is it? Are you sure you're not looking for me when it's done? Between the two, Gu Cheng could only choose the former, and he believed that the answer of most people was the same as him.

"Very good, the person who knows the times is Junjie, and he is really the one who has been the boss...... Haha!"

What boss? Isn't it just sarcastic that he is skinny, greedy for life and afraid of death? What's wrong with him being skinny? Splashy didn't spy on your sister's bath, nor did he dig up your ancestral grave......

Gu Cheng could only slander these words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, he was not a splash now, but a good man in the Xia Dynasty as Beidi said, do it yourself, and have enough food and clothing...... Well, that is, one person feeds and the whole family does not go hungry......

Next, the man in black told him what he had done, and when he heard that he was just asking Chen Jinwang out for a drink, Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was good at this little thing. It's about eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, he doesn't say that he is proficient in everything, but he is still competent. After drinking, he still has money to take, such a good thing, if the man in black said it earlier, he didn't have to hold him hostage, he would be happy to do it.

The matter is already obvious, with Chen Jinwang getting drunk next, the man in black arranged for someone to adjust the key and put it back after configuring it. God didn't know it, even Gu Cheng didn't know that he had done a trivial thing, which led to the theft of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the treasury.

After listening to Gu Bei's analysis, Chen Jinwang knew that the key was lost like this, if it weren't for the aunt to check it out, it is estimated that if the old men of the government went to investigate, they would definitely let him eat a stick first. Even if the truth of the theft is finally discovered, it is impossible for him to do things for the owner again. Thinking of this, Chen Jinwang couldn't help but feel grateful to the owner. The owner not only let him take care of the business, but now he has also given him a second life.

"Brother Bei, I, I also heard today that the treasury silver was stolen, if I knew what I did, it would ..... Give me 10,000 guts, I won't dare to do it...... Brother Bei, you will spare your brother this time! At this time, even if Gu Cheng was stupid, he knew that what he did had something to do with the theft of the treasury silver, so he quickly knelt down and hugged Gu Beibei's thigh and begged for mercy.

In the past few days, he has been studying in the store with Chen Jinwang, and the daily income of the store is tens of thousands of yuan, piled up like a hill, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, he doesn't dare to think about how much it will be......

"Get up." Gu Bei shouted loudly, he already knew the character of this cousin who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he still loved to kneel at every turn as before.

"Brother Bei, have you forgiven me?" Gu Cheng looked at Gu Bei pitifully, his eyes full of hope.

"Kneel if you want!" Gu Bei didn't know how to deal with his cousin's scoundrel, and he had a headache, but it was certain that Gu Cheng was not suitable to stay in the store, and if he had one time, it would be difficult to guarantee that there would be no second time?

Gu Bei rubbed his eyebrows, gave Xiao Ran an order for tomorrow, and walked out.

In the courtyard, Gu Bei just came back, saw that the light was still on in the lady's room, knew that she hadn't slept yet, stood at the door and hesitated for a while, and when she was about to go back to her room, the door made a "squeak" and opened it from the inside.

Bai Luoshi stood at the door, bit her lip, and said angrily: "What are you doing standing stupidly, don't come in quickly." ”

Gu Bei scratched his head and said, "When my husband saw that the lights in the lady's house were still on, I wanted to come and see ......" After speaking, he smirked.

Gu Bei sat on the chair, Bai Luoshi poured him a glass of water, and said casually: "I heard that something happened in the workshop?" ”

Bai Luoshi never asked him about business, and suddenly asked, it seems that she also knows, Gu Bei did not hide it, and told him what happened, and said: "But fortunately, Yin Liang has basically been found, but I don't know who is behind the scenes?" ”

Bai Luoshi knew that he had been busy all day and had some hard work, so she walked slowly behind him, stretched out her white jade hand on his shoulder, and slowly kneaded it.

Smelling the familiar fragrance emanating from her body, Gu Bei's spirit couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect the lady to knead him, held her kneading hand, patted it, drank a glass of water, and said: "The lady has worked hard, it's late, let's go rest first!" The husband also went back. ”

"I'm not tired, Xianggong has been busy all day." Bai Luoshi said with a smile.

At the same time, in a small courtyard on the other side of the city, in the shadow of the courtyard wall, only a person dressed in black was heard exclaiming:

"It's only been a day, how can you find Yinliang's hideout?"

"Hmph, how could it be? There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Yingtianfu, and there are countless strange people. The other spoke, and the voice was very young, with the tone of a superior person.

"But if you stop now, then everything you did before will be in vain, those silver taels, if he finds out, why doesn't Gu Bei find them?"

"Fool, self-righteousness, people are waiting to find us now, you must inform the others, and tomorrow's transfer will be stopped." The young man scolded unceremoniously, although the man in black was unconvinced, he didn't dare to argue, only heard the young man add: "No, you must all evacuate tomorrow, since it has been exposed, you can't leave clues, and you can't damage the major affairs of the Holy Sect." ”

"Yes, the subordinates know, and the subordinates will go back and let them evacuate overnight." After saying that, the man in black lightly jumped onto the courtyard wall and disappeared.

There was silence in the courtyard, and it was a long, long time before a young man murmured, "You really can't look at him with the same eyes as before!" After saying that, he walked into the room, leaving a back.

Eyes on him before? Who does he represent?

In the workshop on the second day, Steward Xiao was reading the account book in the room, the door was pushed open, and a guy hurriedly came to report.

How many guys are missing? This kind of trivial matter is also reported, and it is not strange that there are hundreds of people in the workshop, and a few fewer people. Steward Xiao didn't take it to heart, and continued to look through the account books, the workshop is so big, everything needs to be handled by him, buying spices, shipping, and monthly silver...... can't be mistaken, there are a lot of people staring at his position, especially now is an extraordinary time.

Steward Xiao finished reading an account book, rubbed his eyebrows, and showed a trace of fatigue between his eyebrows, and after a while, he opened his eyes here and took one again, but before he opened it, the door of the room was pushed open again.

Hearing the voice, Steward Xiao frowned, looking at the account book needs to be meditated, the most taboo is that no one disturbs, after reading the account book for so long, dizzy and swollen, it is the time of irritability in his heart, these guys are too ignorant of the rules, and they are about to reprimand a few words, when they look up, they see the person coming, and their faces instantly smile.

"Boss, you're here?" Put down the account book in your hand, walk over, and smile. I secretly blamed those guys in my heart, the owner came, and I didn't even know to report such a big thing.
