"Mother's good daughter, what is the origin of that Lord Shen falling to the ground?" Watching Shen Chongming leave, the old bustard hurriedly ran upstairs to find Yan Yumeng to ask, and he must inquire about him clearly.

"My daughter doesn't know, but the last time we met was in the capital, if I guessed correctly, he should be a Beijing official." Yan Yu said expressionlessly, this old woman must be thinking about how to use others.

"Jingguan, that's beyond the reach of the whip." The old bustard's brows furrowed into a pimple and he muttered to himself, it seemed that he was empty and happy.

"Mom, my daughter and Lord Shen are just general friends, so don't beat his idea." Yan Yumeng said a little angrily.

"Yo, Mom, it's not for your own good, silly girl." The old bustard said hypocritically. "I'm tired today, rest early, take good care of yourself these days, and see you're getting thinner."

"Bastard." Seeing the old bustard open the door and walk out, Xiaoqing couldn't help but scold, and then asked with interest: "Miss, isn't Shen Gongzi in the capital, why did he come to Hangzhou, and he can't chant poetry, how can he be an official?" ”

Yan Yumeng shook his head, "I don't know, but it seems that Shen Gongzi's status is quite high, and that Lord Wu was disrespectful to me at that time, he put down his wine glass and stood up, and those who were higher than him didn't dare to breathe, hehe." Speaking of this, Yan Yumeng couldn't help blushing, this person was really bold enough, and he took his hand in front of so many people.

"Wow, that's amazing." Xiaoqing's eyes were full of little stars, and she looked adoring.

After being excited for a long time, Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask, "Miss, did you say that Shen Gongzi likes you?" ”

Yan Yumeng, who was originally very happy, couldn't help but darken her face, she was just a singer with a humble status, how could she be worthy of others.

"Miss, don't be sad." Looking at Yan Yumeng's expression, Xiaoqing's mood was also low, as a sister, she couldn't know the pain in Yan Yumeng's heart.

"It's okay, it's not early, let's rest early." Yan Yumeng forced a smile, but lying on the bed was tossing and turning, and the scene of Shen Chongming standing up to relieve himself always appeared in his mind, such a person is not the destination he is looking for?

At the same time, Shen Chongming, who was in the post station, also couldn't sleep, and the figures of the little junior sister and Yan Yumeng appeared in his mind from time to time.

"Alas, one daughter-in-law, two daughters-in-law, if you marry two daughters-in-law, isn't it too shameless?" Shen Chongming muttered to himself, and then couldn't help but be silly amused. It's still a good year, as long as you are bold enough, you can marry as many people as you like and go home and hide, wahahaha.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Shen Chongming was ordered to follow Chen Xiao to investigate the case, while Zhao Langzhong took his old business and rushed to the Buzheng Department with three swords and pens to check the account books.

And the main force Chen Xiao didn't think about what Wu Neng could help at all, and it was already thankful that he didn't add to the chaos, so he didn't care if he didn't come forward, and gave Shen Chongming a salute, and the two of them rushed to the Hangzhou silver vault with Director Xin of the Criminal Department and the other two arresters.

Zhang Zhutou of Hangzhou Prefecture and Li Zhutou of Hangzhou Prefecture were two well-known experts in handling cases in Hangzhou Prefecture in the early morning outside the gate of the outer courtyard of the silver treasury.

"Zhang Miaoshui, the lowly Hangzhou Governor, and Li Xijin, the lowly judge of Zhejiang, have seen all the adults." The two head-catchers said with their fists that the two of them were also present at the reception banquet last night, but they accompanied Chen Xiao and the others in another room, but they had seen a few people and knew what to call them.

"Hehe, the two of you have been waiting for a long time, hurry up and excuse me." Director Xin turned over and dismounted and smiled, and everyone also fell off the horse.

"Adults, please." Zhang Zhutou stretched out his hand and said, as a martial artist, he doesn't like to be polite.

The outer courtyard of the silver treasury was still heavily guarded, and everywhere you could see the imposing guards standing with guns, and they were terrified just by looking at this formation.

The inner courtyard of the treasury is also guarded by the officials transferred from the Yamen of the Political Secretary, and they also fulfill their duties and dare not have the slightest negligence, and Lord Guo personally issued a strict order that the scene must be protected, and if something goes wrong, they will all be imprisoned for a few years.

Zhang Miaoshui led the way in front, and everyone went straight to the silver vault of number B, and Li Xijin also introduced the facts of the case: "My lords, the silver vault was stolen thirteen days ago, and all the guards in the inner courtyard were innocent and unconscious, neatly arranged on both sides of the aisle. As he spoke, Li Xijin pointed to the aisle in front of him.

Seeing that everyone nodded, he continued: "And the 300,000 taels of silver stored in the B silver inventory are gone, and the humble and Zhang Zhutou led people to survey the scene, which is very neat, not even a footprint, and there is no clue at all so far." ”

"Then Li Zhutou has not checked the reason for the coma of the silver treasury officer?" Chen Xiaokou, who had been looking around, asked.

Li Xijin smiled bitterly, "This must have been checked, but I didn't find any trace of ** after rummaging through the silver vault, and the silver vault servants who were in a coma for an inquest did not find any signs of poisoning." ”

As he was talking, Zhang Miaoshui, who was leading the way in front, paused, pointed to the open stone door and said, "A few adults, this is the B silver vault where the stolen tax silver was originally stored." ”

The silver vault is still the same as it was, neat and neat, without a trace of thieves coming in and out, and the saying that this ghost and god carried it is also reasonable, after all, 300,000 taels of tax silver weighs 20,000 catties, if it is carried by manpower, it is impossible to leave no traces at all.

Shen Chongming frowned and walked in, and carefully looked at the wooden frame that visited the silver, there was a lot of dust.

Chen Xiao also followed in with a torch, and like Shen Chongming, he checked the wooden frame where the silver was placed, frowned, and reached out to wipe it.

"Li Zhutou, is all this silver placed on this wooden shelf?" Shen Chongming turned around and asked.

Li Xijin hurriedly nodded and replied, "Lord Shen, all the silver is placed on the wooden shelf, and the political secretary's yamen will send someone to count it every ten days. ”

"Since it's 300,000 taels of silver, are these wooden frames enough?" Shen Chongming counted the wooden frames, there were six in total, and it seemed that 300,000 taels of silver was a bit small.

"If you go back to your lordship, all the silver in the silver store is fifty taels of official silver, and these six wooden shelves are just placed, and each rack is fifty thousand taels. In this way, it is also convenient for the adults of the chief secretary to take inventory, and they only need to see that there are no vacancies to know that the silver is sufficient. Zhang Miaoshui interjected and explained.

"Oh, that's a good idea, hehe." Shen Chongming nodded and smiled while holding the torch and inspecting the wooden frame as he pleased.

Unconsciously and Chen Xiao walked face to face, Shen Chongming smiled, "Lord Chen, according to your experience, have you found any problems?" ”

Chen Xiao smiled, but did not answer this question, but said to Shen Chongming with admiration: "My lord is insightful. ”

Shen Chongming smiled and didn't say anything, it seems that this guy thought of going with him.

"What did you find?" Seeing the two of them like this, Director Xin asked with curiosity, and the others also pricked up their ears, and they could find flaws by looking at them casually, which was really a little incredulous.

"Hehe, it's nothing, let's go out and talk." Shen Chongming walked out with a torch, and Chen Xiao followed.

"Zhang Zhutou, you just said that the Yamen of the Political Secretary will send someone to the bank every ten days to verify the amount of silver taels, so does anyone check it on weekdays?" Shen Chongming asked as he passed by Zhang Miaoshui's side.

"If you go back to adulthood, you will check it on weekdays. During the daily shift change, the ambassador and the deputy envoy of the silver treasury opened the small grid on the stone door together to check it, but because they couldn't get in, they wouldn't count it. Zhang Miaoshui said, pointing to the fist-sized small lattice on the four doors, there are two holes in it, and two keys must be inserted together to open it.

"According to you, they can only see silver taels every day near the wooden frame of the door?" Shen Chongming nodded and asked.

"This ...... The lowly position is not a person from the bankbank, and it is only because he has asked the officer of the bankbank about the case that he knows a little bit, but he doesn't know what the specific situation is. Zhang Miaoshui shook his head and replied.

"Hehe, Master Chen closes the door, let's see what's going on together." Shen Chongming turned his head and said to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao nodded yes, with one hand, the stone door weighing 100 catties was easily closed by him, and everyone present couldn't help but be moved, so strong!

"Zhang Zhutou, go and get the key to open Xiaoge, this official and Master Chen have to do an experiment." Shen Chongming said with great interest, I thought it was a shocking case, but it was so simple, it seems that he still has a lot of talent for handling cases.

The key was in the hands of the guards outside the silver treasury, and after a while, Zhang Miaoshui walked in with two keys, and without Shen Chongming's instructions, he directly stepped forward to open Xiaoge.
