On the afternoon of the second day, Yuan Chengqiao arrived at Lai County and went straight to the county government of Lai County.

Su Yong came out to greet him.

"Did you see Song Shi'an?" Yuan Chengqiao didn't drink the tea, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

Su Yong didn't see Song Ning: "You didn't come to Lai County, did you?" What Gu Chen saw was the autumn catch under him. ”

"He didn't come? Impossible, there is no reason why such a showy person should not go to Lai County. Yuan Chengqiao felt very strange, "You sent someone to keep an eye on them?" How many people did they come? ”

Su Yong called Gu Chen in, and Gu Chen replied, "...... There were six men and a little girl, who was the plaintiff's sufferer. ”

"Among these six, is there a young man of medium height, thin stature, who talks a lot and is very arrogant?" Yuan Chengqiao asked.

Gu Chen actually talked to Qiu one after another, so he naturally denied it.

"But there was a young man of medium height, who had been standing at the front, and although he did not speak, he looked at people very uncomfortably." Gu Chen said, "There is also the tallest person, who is uncomfortable and aggressive when he looks at people and speaks. ”

Yuan Chengqiao didn't know Zhao Yi, but he immediately affirmed that the short one was Song Ning: "It's just that they won't be wrong." ”

"He's just here to make trouble, and he can't see me." Yuan Chengqiao was furious, "What about Han Yu, did you let him avoid it?" ”

Gu Chen replied: "Han Ye has not seen anyone from yesterday morning to today, and there is no one in his house, I don't know where he went, and the villain is secretly being asked to find him." ”

"Missing?" Yuan Chengqiao immediately said, "Then it must have been secretly arrested by Song Shi'an, how can this be reasonable!" ”

Yuan Chengqiao walked around the room twice, stopped and said to Gu Chen: "You go to the inn to inform them, just say that the official has arrived, and let him Song Shi'an come to see the official." ”

Gu Chen should go, and after a while, he came back and replied, "...... Qiu said that he couldn't see it, and said that the three-day time limit was up, and tomorrow morning they would beat the Dengwen drum to tell Han Yu and let the yamen prepare! ”

"Abominable, abominable." Yuan Chengqiao said, "Then let him sue, this official wants to see his joke that Song Shi'an was besieged by the people." ”

"Get the word out of the way." Gu Chen should be.

Yuan Chengqiao was still angry, he felt that Song Ning was targeting him everywhere, he was so beautiful on the twenty-seventh day, and no one in Dengzhou didn't love him!

This is his political achievement.

He wants the people to willingly build a monument of merit to him, and it will be planted on the edge of the No. 9 pier, so that future generations will remember him Yuan Chengqiao, who was the prefect of Dengzhou, and benefited the people.

He said, "Go and find He Xiden." ”

Gu Chen should be going to Tongwei Yinzhuang's branch in Laixian, because it was too busy at the end of the month, and He Xideng's family had been in Laixian recently.

First, there was a constant influx of people to exchange silver for silver tickets, and second, the silver ingots they brought over had to be protected.

Tongwei Yinzhuang is a street away from the county government, Gu Chen walked very fast, when he arrived at the door, he saw that the door of Yinzhuang was closed, and there were many people standing at the door. ”

"Didn't see the guy?" Gu Chen stuck at the door to listen to the movement inside, everyone shook their heads, and said, "I haven't seen a single guy, Gu Zhutou, nothing will happen, right?" ”

"Yes, there's a lot of money in the silver village lately!"

"No, don't be cranky." Gu Chen said and went around to the alley behind, climbed over the wall and entered, kicked open the back door, and was stupid at the door.

There were four people lying in the room, and he quickly went in to sniff.

There were four guys in the lobby, all of whom died, and the cause of death looked like strangulation.

Because it was strangulation without blood, there was no smell of blood at all.

Gu Chen was cold, it was not that he was afraid of the dead, but that the dead died in Yinzhuang, this was not an ordinary homicide.

He turned around and pushed the door of the storehouse, which was where the silver village put its money, the walls were thick, and the door locks were specially made by craftsmen, so that they could not be invaded by fire and water, let alone thieves.

But at this moment, Gu Chen casually pushed the door open.

He hadn't been inside the storeroom, but he could imagine what it was like inside.

But at this moment, the entire warehouse only had bamboo shelves against the wall stacked with account books, and there were no whole boxes of silver and iron cabinets that he imagined.

How can there be nothing in the treasury?

Gu Chen took a few steps back in shock, ran out of it, opened the back door, and called an acquaintance: "Go to the yamen and ask Master Su to bring someone here." ”

Su Yong and Yuan Chengqiao came together, they couldn't get in at the front door, and the two of them entered directly from the back door, and they were dumbfounded when they saw inside.

"Where's Hesiton?" Yuan Chengqiao asked, "Didn't you see He Xideng?" ”

Gu Chen said: "The two adults are here, and their subordinates will go to the He Mansion to take a look." ”

Gu Chen went to He's mansion, and after pushing the door open, He Xideng, his eldest son and the two mothers-in-law who sprinkled the sweep were not there.

He searched the rooms from room to room, and He Xiden and his son fainted in their own rooms, and the two mothers-in-law also fainted in their respective rooms.

Gu Chen woke up He Xideng's father and son.

He Xiden asked in surprise, "Why did we faint, I remember that I was obviously sleeping." ”

"He Dongjia." Gu Chen and He Xiden said, "Something is wrong." ”

He Xiden was still stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Something's wrong, what's going on?" ”

Gu Chen told He Xideng and his son what happened in the silver village.

"W-How is this possible?!" He Xideng's eldest son, He Ying, stood up suddenly, "I'll go and see, so much money is so heavy, who can take it?!" ”

He ran to the silver village.

"I—we're going to take a look." He Xideng couldn't stand it, helped Gu Chen, and the two of them went to Qianzhuang.

Yuan Chengqiao and Su Yong were still there, and seeing their father and son, Yuan Chengqiao couldn't wait to ask: "Quick, quickly check, how much money are you missing?" ”

He Ying screamed in the warehouse and rushed out: "Dad, all the money is gone." ”

"What?!" He Xiden sat down and muttered, "This, how is this possible!" ”

Yuan Chengqiao roared: "Say, how much money did you lose?" ”

"My lord, this treasury stores all the silver that has been turned over in the silver village in the last month, including the 750,000 taels that were transported here a few days ago."

"Because I think I'll use it in three months, I don't plan to ship it away."

"I didn't expect it...... How could this be. ”

"Tell me clearly, how much is it?!" Yuan Chengqiao asked.

He Ying went to take out the account book and showed it to Yuan Chengqiao: "The deposit in the past few days, the previous inventory, and the money temporarily used to transfer here this time have a total of 6.9 million taels of silver. ”

"How can there be so many?" Yuan Chengqiao asked, "He Xideng, did you sell shares in private?" ”

He Xiden shook his head: "My lord, the villain didn't sell at all, the person who sold the shares was...... It's Han Yu! ”

"How can it be?" Yuan Chengqiao said, "Han Yu, go find Han Yu." ”

Su Yong and Gu Chen glanced at each other, their faces full of nervousness, and they felt that things were not simple.

"Do you want to find the money first?" Su Yong stopped Yuan Chengqiao and persuaded, "My lord, the most important thing is to find the money right now, so much money...... It's not something that a man or a wagon can tow. ”

It didn't take dozens of people to come, and moving so much silver was like moving a hill.

"Look, look for it now, so much money can't fly away."

Everyone began to look for money, and the father and son sat on the threshold in a daze.

The front door of Yinzhuang will definitely not dare to open, so many people are outside, once everyone knows that Yinzhuang's money is gone, this result is no less than ...... There are no sand mines on the seabed.

Because everyone knows that Yinzhuang is guaranteed, even if they can't make money in the end, as long as Yinzhuang is there, they can't lose money.

"Can't say, absolutely can't say." Yuan Chengqiao walked back and forth, and no one cared after the four dead servants did the autopsy, Yuan Chengqiao stopped and said, "Don't move for the time being, and then drag the body away after dark." ”

"He Ying, the families of the four people who died are comforted."

He Ying should be.

"Kill, rob!" Yuan Chengqiao calmed down from his restlessness at this time, and he asked He Xideng, "The incident happened last night, what was unusual about last night?" ”

He Xiden replied: "I've been busy lately, and the villain is also busy until he goes home." ”

"The four of them have been busy counting the numbers as well."

"If you want to say that it is abnormal, Han Yu came last night, and he and the villain exchanged 10,000 taels of gold and personally pulled it away in a carriage." He Xiden said, "Other ......"

He Xiden didn't speak, Yuan Chengqiao and Su Yong both walked over and looked at him: "What did you say, he changed for gold?" ”

"Yes!" He Xiden told the story of what had happened.

Yuan Chengqiao slapped the table and pointed at He Xideng: "He Xideng, are you and Han Yu in the same group, can you exchange money for him at this time?" ”

"My lord, he said that he can't dig up gold, so use this gold to support it first, and the villain can't see the problem with this requirement." He Xiden said, "The villain is not responsible for these things, the villain just needs to manage the money well, and you can take it out when you want it." ”

"You control the money, do you control it?" Yuan Chengqiao scolded.

He sat on the ground in despair, and did not speak.

Su Yong stammered and said the result he was most afraid of: "My lord, no, it won't be Han Yu who stole the money and ran away, right?" ”

Yuan Chengqiao stared at Su Yong coldly, his face pale.

"Who stole the money?" Just then, someone came in through the door.
