In a cell inside the black prison, Luo Hai pondered for a moment.

"This morning, I arrived at the military headquarters early. He led forty-five men from the military department to the household department to receive military salaries. Nothing out of the ordinary happened along the way. ”

Luo Hai thought for a moment, and then said, "It's quite smooth to receive 100,000 taels of gold from the household department. I carefully checked each box, and after confirming that it was correct, I locked it with a key, and I kept the key close to me. ”

"Which person from the household department is handed over here?" The Four Princes spoke.

"It's Wei Ming, the head of the household."

Luo Hai seemed to think of something, and then spoke: "But here in the household, there are indeed some differences. The boxes containing the gold were a little tattered and old, and there was a lot of dust on them. I didn't really care about it at the time. ”

The fourth prince recalled the time when he went to the barracks to investigate.

It's true that those boxes are a bit old, and there are some cracks in the boxes.

"That Ding Cheng, who committed suicide, didn't he make any strange moves?"

"Yes!"

At the mention of Ding Cheng, Luo Hai was a little excited.

This guy committed suicide, and when he died, he wrote a suicide note to wronged himself. In hindsight, it does reveal oddity.

"Because of the heavier salaries, the horses will not be able to hold on. So on the way, we'll all take a break. Before, everyone was resting peacefully.

This time, Ding Cheng told me that the box was a little dirty, and sending it to the barracks might cause criticism. So he wanted to wash the boxes. ”

"Wash?" Luo Ying spoke.

Luo Hai looked at his daughter and said, "Yes, wash it." I don't know where he found the vat, and he led a group of guards to fill it with water from a river not far away. Sprinkle directly on the boxes of military pay.

I was right next to the carriage and didn't stop it. After all, the key is in my hand, and as long as the box is not opened, I feel that there will be no problem. For the rest of the road, nothing happened. ”

Luo Hai sighed.

"However, when we arrived at the Guards camp, I opened box after box and rummaged through everything. As a result, a tael of gold was gone. ”

The four princes knew it, no wonder the humidity in those boxes was so heavy.

Luo Ying, who was next to her, smiled strangely when she heard this.

If things really went the way she thought, the modus operandi of this case would be too simple for her.

After all, the Internet was so developed in the previous life, and it was not ancient times, so what girl wouldn't chase after it.

In her previous life, in addition to completing the tasks given to her by her teacher, she liked to stay at home and watch some anime.

It seems that this disappearing military salary has some similarities with the technique of a certain anime.

The four princes, who had been watching Luo Ying from the side, noticed Luo Ying's expression.

Could it be that her own princess is so smart that she already knows something.

He asked, "Princess, have you found anything?"

Luo Ying came back to her senses, heard the words of the fourth prince, and hesitated a little: "I'm not sure about this."

Then she looked at Luo Hai and said, "Father, after you rest, continue to escort the military salary." Isn't it taking less time than usual this time? ”

Luo Hai frowned slightly, he hadn't thought about it.

After all, he is most concerned about the safety of the escort salary, and he really doesn't care about whether the escort time is faster or slower.

However, he still thought about it seriously and was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's a lot earlier than usual."

Hearing this, Luo Ying breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that she was right.

After the break, there was nothing left in the box. Of course, pulling an empty box will be much faster.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at her, Luo Ying thought for a while and said, "The problem should be the gold given by the household." I've heard of something. It is exactly the same color as gold. Just from the outside, you can't find any difference. However, this kind of thing has a characteristic, it melts when it encounters water, and it burns when it encounters fire. ”

The Four Princes and Luo Hai were a little shocked, and there was such a thing. That said, it makes sense.

The fourth prince asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, I heard that this is something that an alchemist, or an alchemist, occasionally found when he was refining, let's call it water gold."

Luo Ying replied.

The four princes' minds turned.

From this point of view, there is definitely something wrong with Wei Ming, the head of the household. He had taken the gold from the treasury, and it would have been strange if he had not known that the gold was fake.

Of course, Ding Cheng of the military department also has problems. As for Ding Cheng's suicide, I am afraid it was to kill people and kill his mouth, plus to frame Luo Hai.

As a result, all human and physical evidence is gone.

It's really high, and the person who came up with this strategy is a ruthless person. But is it worth it for 20,000 taels of gold?

Thinking of this, he spoke, "Since we are sure that there is a problem with gold, then we have to start with Wei Ming now." ”

"Can't you just arrest him?" Luo Ying hurriedly asked.

The fourth prince shook his head, "There is no evidence, in order to avoid startling the snake." We can only investigate in secret. Of course, only 80,000 taels of military pay were found, and 20,000 taels were missing. This is also the key to solving the case. ”

......

Luo Ying and the four princes walked out of the cell.

At this moment, Luo Ying's mood relaxed a lot. The father was not punished, and a breakthrough was made in the case. Everything is going in a good direction.

The next thing is to find the evidence and the 20,000 taels of gold that disappeared within two days.

As before, Wei led the way in front without saying a word.

Just as he was about to get out of the black prison, an expected person blocked the door of the black prison.

When Luo Ying and the fourth prince saw that person, they looked at each other and were a little helpless.

Wei even scolded in his heart, this idiot.

was hit like that, and it still appeared like this.

In addition to the five princes with panda eyes, who else can there be?

At this moment, the five princes' originally pale faces were a little red.

Obviously angry, he was simply embarrassed to go home this time. was teased by the four princes, thinking that a ghost was chasing him, and he panicked. He yelled and screamed, and even if he didn't run all of the entire black prison, he had run ninety percent of the time.

The point is that he shouted "There are ghosts" while running.

Now almost all the night walkers in the black prison have seen his ugliness, and it is estimated that his reputation for fearing ghosts will spread throughout the night walk.

He's kind of famous now.

Glancing at the silver needle in his hand, the fifth prince was simply angry.

How dare you use a hidden weapon!

At that time, there was only Xiao, the fourth prince and his princess.

This still needs to be judged, as a nocturnal person, he will not do this.

The princess of the fourth prince, at first glance, is the kind of lady who is beautiful, how can she have a secret weapon.

So it can only be the Four Princes.

Thinking of this, his teeth itched with anger.

This new hatred and old hatred, he and Chu Mo are not finished!

Seeing the black prison, Wei walked out with the four princes and Luo Ying.

"Chu Mo!"

The fifth prince gritted his teeth, but his voice was a little hoarse at this time, obviously the result of continuous shouting.

The four princes didn't bother to take care of him, and walked directly past him with Luo Ying.

Ignored again!

The fifth prince was simply angry now.
