Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Secret of the Official Silver

Seeing the two of them hesitating like this, Di Renjie's face sank, and he asked, "What?" As Yincao, don't you know this? ”

Seeing Di Renjie's angry face, the two of them hurriedly knelt down and kept kowtowing, "My lord, my humble duty is wronged!" ”

"As Yincao, you are in charge of the treasury of the official Yinfu, so negligent and slack, what are you wronged?" Di Renjie said angrily!

"Lord Hui, that's the case, although I am in charge, but Lord Assassin Shi only lets the humble position take charge of the key, and Lord Sima is responsible for the rest!" Zhanggu Liu Quan said!

"My lord, the lowly position is also, although the lowly position is Yincao, but the matter of the consolation money of the imperial court, Lord Assassin Shi did not let the lowly position take over, but he and Lord Sima are fully responsible!" Yin Cao Wenliang said!

"Oh? I see, it's the Pavilion that blames you! However, as a solid person, Yincao, if you find such a violation of such a fraudulent thing, you should go to the court in time, and you must not turn a blind eye because you are afraid of the officials, and you will do nothing! Di Renjie said solemnly!

"Humble rank and obey the teachings of your lordship!" The two bowed and said!

Li Yuanfang walked to the side of the box, brushed the dust on the box, picked up a yellowed note on the box, and suddenly shouted: "Look, my lord! ”

Di Renjie immediately walked over, took the note and looked at it, it said 'Long Wuwei Transfer Envoy' and half of the vermilion seals that had been blurred!

"It seems that these boxes should be the boxes that contained the official silver of the consolation money at that time! Yuanfang, open the box! Di Renjie said!

Li Yuanfang opened all the wooden boxes one by one, without exception, each box was empty, Di Renjie stepped forward to check them one by one, and couldn't help frowning!

"This is really strange, why is the official silver missing, but these boxes are still here, how did they transport the silver?" Di Renjie said to himself!

"My lord, the inner walls of this treasury are all iron plates, if you want to enter and exit, you can only go through this door, if they want to transport the silver out, I am afraid it will be difficult! Also, if you see that the box containing the official silver is still here, then it means that they need to bring in other boxes first, and then load the silver and ship it out, so cumbersome, can't the guards see it? Li Yuanfang was puzzled!

"My lord, since I heard about the theft of the consolation money in the public court that day, I have asked the soldiers in charge of guarding the treasury, and they said that no wooden boxes or anything like anything had entered or left the treasury before it was closed, and no one had moved anything from the treasury!" Yin Cao Wenliang said!

"Oh? Can't you think that Lord Wen, this Yincao, is still very responsible? Di Renjie smiled!

"My lord has won the award, after all, he is Yincao, and his duty lies!" Yin Cao Wenliang replied!

Di Renjie walked around in the treasury, sometimes stomping on the ground with his feet, sometimes knocking on the wall with his hands, and after walking a few times, Di Renjie shouted: "Palm Liu Quan!" ”

"Humble duty!" Zhanggu Liu Quan hurriedly bowed forward!

"The treasury is the important land of the state capital and the yamen, how can it be so wasted? Send people to clean up the yard, and send more people, although the treasury is empty, but don't be so slack! Di Renjie ordered!

"Obedience!" Palm solid Liu Quanying said!

"Yuan Fang, let's go!" Di Renjie said!

The two of them walked out of the West Cross Courtyard, and Li Yuanfang asked softly: "My lord, let them clean up the treasury, aren't you afraid that there are any clues in the treasury that will be destroyed by them?" ”

Di Renjie smiled slightly and said, "Yuan Fang, there is nothing left to investigate in this treasury!" ”

"Huh? Why? Li Yuanfang asked puzzled!

Di Renjie stopped and said word by word: "Because the consolation money didn't go into this treasury at all!" ”

Li Yuanfang was suddenly shocked, "Huh? Didn't get into the treasury? Why do you say that? ”

"I just found a few black spots in the corners of a few of the boxes in the treasury!" Di Renjie said!

Li Yuanfang's face tightened, and he asked, "Black spots?" What black spots? ”

"It's dried blood! If there is blood stains in one box, it may be unintentionally stained, but there are several boxes on it, then it proves that it is definitely not unintentional, and it is very likely to be splashed! I speculate that these boxes must have been wiped down, but these few places are not conspicuous because they are more similar to the color of the boxes after drying, so they remained! Di Renjie said!

"Bloodstains? How can there be bloodstains? Li Yuanfang was shocked!

Di Renjie stroked his beard and said: "This batch of consolation money should have been robbed on the way to Shuozhou, and the bloodstains on this box should have been Long Wuwei, who was in charge of escorting at that time. ”

Li Yuanfang thought for a moment and said, "My lord, this is unlikely, right?" They killed Long Wuwei, robbed the official silver, and dared to come to Shuozhou with a box? Aren't they afraid of being discovered? ”

"Hahaha! Yuan Fang, don't forget, is there a Shuozhou Sima Jiang Chong in this Shuozhou? Di Renjie laughed!

"Oh yes! Ay? My lord, why don't you say that there is also a thorn in Shi Feng Zhijing? Li Yuanfang asked!

"Hehe, Yuan Fang, do you think that if Feng Zhijing had already known that the silver had been robbed, or that Feng Zhijing was involved, why did he privately smelt cast iron to make up these two million taels of silver? If he wants to embezzle these two million taels of consolation money, it is better to directly lure the laborers and privately smelt cast iron, why kill Long Wuwei and rob the official silver? Di Renjie sneered!

"Hmmm! It makes sense that the gangsters robbed the official silver and pretended to be Long Wuwei to transport the empty boxes into Shuozhou, while Sima Jiangchong of Shuozhou normally checked and received the empty boxes as boxes full of official silver, and transported them into the treasury, and then brought the assassin Shi Feng Zhijing to the treasury for inspection! Li Yuanfang said!

Di Renjie nodded and said, "I think that's the case!" Feng Zhijing thought that the official silver in the treasury was gone, but he didn't know that the two million taels of official silver had not entered this treasury at all! ”

"Hmmm! Feng Zhijing thought that the official silver had been stolen, and there was no way to find it, and he was worried that he would be punished, so he turned to Enyifang for help, and there was the matter of Daqingshan privately smelting cast iron! Li Yuanfang said!

Di Renjie stroked his beard and groaned: "I'm afraid this Feng Zhijing has been calculated!" ”

"Oh? My lord, why do you say that? Li Yuanfang asked!

"Not only that, I speculate that this calculation of Feng Zhijing should be this Jiang Chong! Didn't you listen to Zhanggu and Yincao just now? The affairs of this treasury are in the hands of Shuozhou Thorn Shi and Sima, so if you want to calculate this Feng Zhijing, I'm afraid only Jiang Chong has this opportunity! Di Renjie said!

"It's a pity, Feng Zhi committed suicide in fear of sin, otherwise he would definitely be able to ask something out of his mouth!" Li Yuanfang said!

"Anyone who does anything, no matter how careful, will definitely leave a trace, but it will be discovered sooner or later!" Di Renjie said with emotion!

"Hmmm! This is what you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it! Li Yuanfang added!

Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang and laughed!

"Someone, there's an assassin!"

Suddenly, there were shouts from the direction of Suiyuan, and Di Renjie was startled, "Not good!" Yuan Fang, let's go back and have a look! ”
