Feng Lanyu went to the other two shops, and also tied up the shopkeeper and the account office of those two families, and sent them to Dali Temple.

During this period, Jiang Hu also checked and counted the inventory of the remaining grain and grass from Zhuangzi, and sent someone to send it to Feng Lanyu after registering.

Today's Dali Siqing is the former Wang Shaoqing, when he saw Feng Lanyu coming, he sighed in his heart, yes, it's going to happen again!

Feng Lanyu asked the guards to tie up the three shopkeepers and the three account rooms, and walked in with Xiao Li with a smile.

"Lord Wang," Feng Lanyu said with a smile, "I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet." ”

Lord Wang hurriedly said: "Young Mrs. Jiang is polite, Wang can get the favor of His Majesty, thanks to the guidance of Young Mrs. Jiang, I wanted to come to thank you in person, but I was afraid that it would have a bad impact on the Hou Mansion, so I gave up, and I hope that Young Mrs. Jiang will not go to my heart." ”

After the matter of the former Dali Siqing, although the emperor did not say it explicitly, but he was actually dissatisfied with the Guogong Mansion, as the emperor, of course he hoped that the officials under him would be loyal to him, rather than obeying the orders of other noble families, after all, the vassals of the vassals were not his vassals.

Wang Shaoqing was appointed, a big reason is because of his status as a poor student, and he did not privately loyal to the prince or the family like other officials, therefore, after Wang Shaoqing took office, although he was very grateful to Feng Lanyu in his heart, he did not dare to come to the door again, for fear of being used by those ill-intentioned people as an article to spread some rumors that were not good for the Wenchang Marquis Mansion.

Feng Lanyu said with a smile: "Lord Wang is also thinking about our Hou Mansion, I am not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong,"

As she spoke, she motioned for the guards to escort the six people into the lobby and said, "Lord Wang, I have come today to report the crime. ”

Lord Wang looked at the six people who were tied up and sturdy, and his mouth was still gagged, and he was surprised, which couldn't help but remind him of the first time Mrs. Jiang came to report the case.

He asked tentatively: "Could it be that in the Hou Mansion, there is another monk?" ”

Feng Lanyu: "Yes, it was my lax discipline that made Lord Wang laugh." ”

Lord Wang was a little indescribable for a while.

In just half a year, there have been two internal thefts, and this Wenchang Marquis Mansion is too unlucky!

Lord Wang first ordered the three shopkeepers and the account office to be escorted to the prison, and then took Feng Lanyu to the back room and politely served her tea.

Lord Wang specially called a master bookkeeper over and asked him to prepare a good record of pen and ink, and then said to Feng Lanyu: "What is the specific situation of this case, please ask Mrs. Jiang to tell me in detail." ”

Feng Lanyu asked Xiao Li to put the account books of the three shops in front of Lord Wang, and put the evidence collected by Jiang Hu and the confessions of the workers on the account book, she said to Lord Wang: "Lord Wang doesn't know, what was stolen from our Hou Mansion this time was the grain in the grain shop, which was converted into cash, about more than 400,000 taels. ”

Lord Wang looked at Feng Lanyu in shock: "Forty, more than 400,000 taels? ”

Feng Lanyu nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, Lord Wang, I still say less, our three shops, there are five Zhuangzi under them, and a total of 1,000 hectares of fertile land, because it is a paddy field, so the two years are planted with two crops of rice, according to the yield per mu in these two years, the total amount of grain produced in the two seasons is about 35 stones, which is converted into cash silver according to the grain price, about 700,000 taels. ”

Lord Wang's eyes straightened when he heard this.

It's no wonder that everyone says that the Marquis of Wenchang Mansion is rich, and the annual output of these three stores alone can reach 700,000 taels, which is really an astronomical amount.

The army is so huge, and sure enough, only the Marquis of Wenchang has the ability to supplement the army.

If you change someone, you have to go bankrupt.

Feng Lanyu frowned and said: "However, this time I went to inspect, but I found that there was no grain in the shop, and the remaining grain in the Zhuangzi was less than 20%, and this year, the grain and silver handed over by these three shops were less than 100,000 taels. It must be the ghost of the shopkeeper, maybe they may be secretly resold by them, Lord Wang must be aware of it! ”

Lord Wang nodded solemnly, this matter must be investigated carefully, if it is really the shopkeeper's desire for profit, secretly reselling the master's grain, it will definitely leave clues, just check today's grain business.

After all, there are only a few relatively large grain merchants in the capital, and they are very easy to investigate, and I am afraid that those grain merchants will obey the orders of the master behind their backs and refuse to tell the truth. If it is sold to a grain merchant from other places, it is better to check it, after all, the voices of outsiders are different, and it is easy to distinguish.

Feng Lanyu handed over the account books and testimonies of the three shops to Lord Wang, and after explaining the situation, he offered to leave.

Lord Wang hurriedly sent her out in person, but her mind was full of the lost 400,000 taels.

400,000 taels! How bold are the three shopkeepers to dare to make such a huge amount of money, and they are not afraid of dying?

Coming out of Dali Temple, Feng Lanyu once again met Qi Jing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard with a harmless smile on his face.

He was wearing a green shirt, followed by two subordinates in civilian clothes, and happened to be going to Dali Temple, and after seeing Feng Lanyu, he smiled meaninglessly and walked over.

Feng Lanyu was taken aback, she didn't see such a big living person, and walked forward without squinting, but her pace sped up.

Qi Jing also smiled and sped up, stopped in front of Feng Lanyu in a few steps, and smiled at Feng Lanyu very friendly: "Young Mrs. Jiang, what a coincidence, I met you again in Dali Temple." ”

Feng Lanyu squeezed out a smirk: "Hehe, yes, what a coincidence." ”

Qi Jing didn't seem to understand Feng Lanyu's dislike and rejection of him at all, after all, after he joined Jinyiwei, he climbed all the way to this position, and the blood stained couldn't be washed away for several lifetimes, and the hatred and jealousy of other people's eyes had long been accustomed to it.

He took two steps forward again, approached Feng Lanyu a little, and saw that she looked at him vigilantly like a fried cat, a pair of black jade-like eyes were round and bright, and Qi Jing suddenly felt quite interesting.

He said: "I haven't congratulated Young Lady Jiang for keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, and when I returned to Jiang Shizi, my hard work in the past six months has not been in vain." ”

Feng Lanyu glanced at him and said perfunctorily: "Thank you, is there anything else to Master Qi?" If nothing else, I'll go first. ”

Qi Jing stopped in front of her, didn't let her go, lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Since the last time I saw Mrs. Jiang here, I have been unforgettable,"

Feng Lanyu reached out expressionlessly and rubbed the goosebumps on his arm.

sneered in my heart, only by believing in him can I have a ghost!

Sure enough, Qi Jing's voice changed, and he spoke leisurely: "So, I arranged for someone to go to the south, that is, the place where Lord Feng took office, and checked ......."

Feng Lanyu's expression froze, and he turned his head to look at Qi Jing.

Qi Jing met her look and smiled, knowing that he was afraid!

Feng Lanyu was speechless for a while: "...... What do you check me for? ”

Qi Jing said: "What does Young Lady Jiang think? I saw that Mrs. Jiang's words and deeds were very different from those of the official ladies in the capital, and I thought it was because I grew up in the south, but after I went to investigate, I found that this was not the case at all. ”

Feng Lanyu: "......"

"Young Lady Jiang is very out of place even in the south,"

Qi Jing looked at her and squinted her eyes: "Before and after Mrs. Jiang got married, there was a big difference, Qi was very curious, why did Mrs. Jiang have such a big change before and after?" ”

Feng Lanyu was a little panicked in her heart, this Qi Jing was too keen, the two of them had met no more than twice, and they even arranged for someone to go to the south to check on her.
