Xie Bingzhou's heart was cold for a while. The treasury silver was stolen? That's the official money of the imperial court, even he, the prefect, has no right to use it casually. Now it's stolen, what to do?

Hurry up and find it! What should I do if I can't find it Then he will be the head of the official. As for whether or not to lose your head, it depends on whether there are more or fewer silver trees lost.

This is also what Xie Bingzhou is most concerned about, so he asked in a trembling voice, "How much silver was lost?" ”

The one who came to report was Changqing, who was in charge of the treasury, named Zheng Zheng, who was Xie Bingzhou's more trustworthy subordinate. Otherwise, I wouldn't have looked for him to take care of the treasury, which is the lifeline of Cangzhou Mansion.

If you want to say what you are doing with so much silver hoarded in this treasury, there are mainly two functions. First, as a fund, if something happens, such as in a famine year, when you need to provide relief food, you can use the money. In addition, all kinds of miscellaneous taxes collected from all over Cangzhou Prefecture are some physical goods or copper coins and scattered silver, and the fineness is also good and bad. Of course, these things cannot be given to the emperor as they are, and there are official furnaces in various places, and the silver is melted and cast into official silver of neat size and fine color, known as "ingots", and this is given to the emperor. The heroes in martial arts novels take out ingots at every turn, it's all nonsense, only the official silver is like that, and the people can't use it.

It is a pity that the taxes just collected from all over the country this time, plus the rent, were all cast into fifty taels of official silver, which were placed in the treasury and strictly guarded. In total, there were more than forty-six thousand taels of silver. Even if he loses this fraction, he Xie Bingzhou can't afford to lose.

Zheng Zheng knelt on his knees, cried and said, "My lord, it's all lost." ”

The muscles at the corners of Xie Bingzhou's mouth trembled a few times, as if he didn't believe his ears a little, and he needed to verify again: "What did you say?" How much have you lost!? ”

Zheng Zheng touched his head to the ground and exclaimed, "My lord, it's all lost!" Forty-six thousand taels of silver, all gone! ”

"Kick and kick", Xie Bingzhou took several steps backwards in a row, but still didn't hold his body and sat on the ground with his butt. But as if he didn't feel any pain, he muttered: "All 46,000 taels of silver hahaha, hahahaha!" ”

Zheng Zheng crawled to Xie Bingzhou's side, stretched out his hand and pulled Xie Bingzhou's clothes, and said, "My lord, it's already chaotic outside, and now it's up to adults to preside over the overall situation." ”

Xie Bingzhou laughed miserably: "Presiding over the overall situation? I can't protect myself! Lao Zheng, you have followed me for many years, right? I think, you better go, the official is no longer capable of raising you. You go out, go out and tell everyone, let's disperse, the consequences of losing the treasury silver will be borne by me Xie Bingzhou alone, why bother everyone! ”

Zheng Zheng cried out: "My lord! Don't think so, sir! The lowly has followed the adults for so many years, and it has always been the adults who take care of the lowly duties. If something happens and the lowly position abandons the adult, is the lowly position still a human being? I am willing to take on the duties with the adults! Besides, we have lost the money in this treasury, and we have not yet found it, so how can we conclude that we can't find it? He'll always have a clue to stay, right? Whether it's theft or robbery, there are always signs to be found, right? ”

When Xie Bingzhou heard this, he finally regained a trace of anger, struggled to sit up, and said, "That's right! As long as we find the money in time, we can make up for it! Quick, go with the official to check! ”

Zhou Xiaocao lay on the bed weakly, her face pale. There are no measuring tools here, and I don't know how many milliliters of blood I donated. Anyway, the patient's condition was stable, and he collapsed.

Feng Yulan looked at Zhou Xiaocao like this, and she was distressed to death. Although she had asked Zhou Xiaocao to kneel on the top of the footbath before, it was just a small concoction between husband and wife, and now that she really saw that Zhou Xiaocao had suffered such a big grievance, that heart had already hurt her heart.

"Xianggong, are you worth it for the sake of a stranger? Looking at your current appearance, the concubine is uncomfortable to death. ”

Zhou Xiaocao gently held Feng Yulan's little hand and said, "Lady, for the sake of these tens of thousands of taels of silver, my husband almost put his life on the line, does this count as asking for money or not dying?" ”

Feng Yulan complained: "Look at you, it's all like this, and you don't forget to be poor!" ”

With tears in her eyes, Kou'er took an apple and handed it over: "Young master, let's eat an apple." ”

Zhou Xiaocao shook his head: "No appetite." ”

Kou Er cried and said: "It's all because the slaves and maids are not angry, why can't they match the blood type of that patient, the young master has become what he is now." ”

Zhou Xiaocao reluctantly smiled and said, "How can I blame you for this? A person's blood type is predestined at birth. I'm not interested in anything now, that"

Feng Yulan looked down at Zhou Xiaocao: "Xianggong, why don't you speak?" What do you see me doing? Hey, where do you look? ”

Zhou Xiaocao stared hard at Feng Yulan's chest. When Feng Yulan leaned down to wipe the sweat on his face just now, Zhou Xiaocao's eyes were shaken by the white breasts, and he was still staring at it.

Feng Yulan said in surprise: "You don't want to do that, do you?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao nodded hard: "I'll try!" ”

Feng Yulan's face turned red, and she said angrily: "Death! It's all like this, and I don't forget it! I said, why are you suddenly unable to do anything? Is there something going on? ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "I'm also very strange. I was tortured by four women that day, but they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so why can't I do it below? ”

Feng Yulan said: "Xianggong, I'll help you again and see if I can regain my strength." ”

After a while, Feng Yulan played, played, and sang, and all kinds of kung fu were used, but Zhou Xiaocao's younger brother still didn't have the slightest intention of raising up. In the end, even Ginkgo biloba and Kou'er went into battle, but it still didn't work. Zhou Xiaocao looked up to the sky and sighed: "God, are you trying to suffocate me to death?" ”

"Engong, please drink ginseng soup to replenish your body."

The patient's twelve-year-old girl came over with a small bowl. Since Zhou Xiaocao saved the patient, they began to call Zhou Xiaocao a graceful father.

Tong Guò talked and learned that the patient's young master's name was Jin Zaiyong, and the one who used internal force to guide blood to Zhou Xiaocao and Young Master Jin was called Liu Da, and then Liu Er, Liu San, and Liu Si. Among them, Liu Si came over the next day and drove a carriage. The little girl's name is Sui'er, and they came from the small towns around the capital.

At this time, Young Master Jin was also carried in by his subordinates. When Young Master Jin saw Zhou Xiaocao, he immediately said happily: "Engong! The grace of Engong's reinvention will never be forgotten! ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "The toxins in your body are basically discharged, and there is no need for blood exchange." Hehe, the two of us didn't know each other before, but now it's okay, it's the same blood flowing in the body, it's really interesting! ”

Young Master Jin immediately said: "The grace of Engong's life will be rewarded in the future!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Forget it, I don't want you to reciprocate." Just like my lady said, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. Originally, I'm not a doctor, this is all a mistake to save you, and it can be regarded as the fate between us. By the way, why do you have so many heavy metals in your blood? ”

Young Master Jin frowned and asked, "What is a heavy metal substance?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said vaguely: "Then you can tell me why the blood is poisonous." If you think about it, is there any toxic substance that has directly entered the bloodstream? ”

Young Master Jin thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No, the blood is flowing in the body, how can it be in direct contact with the poison?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao also felt very strange, according to common sense, if you swallow heavy metals, it should be gastrointestinal disease first, and it will not appear in the blood alone.

At this time, Liu Da said, "Young Master, have you forgotten?" Master Xing often buries you with blessings, isn't that direct contact with blood? ”

Zhou Xiaocao asked strangely, "Bury Fu?" What is that? ”
