Chapter 138: Heavy losses

Li Chun's gaze was open, and even if he was captured, he did not avoid it.

However, Cheng Ziyu was suffocated, Li Chun's eyes were ...... It's all too familiar.

She remembered.

Before she died, Li Chun shouted "stop", and the eyes she showed in a hurry were exactly the same as at this moment.

It burned like a fire not far away, and it was terrifying......

At this moment, Cheng Ziyu was a little flustered, bowed, and left in a hurry, only to avoid his sight.

The corners of Li Chun's lips hooked, and he stared blankly at the night sky with a bright moon like a mirror. He ...... in his heart It doesn't seem so empty......

Xia Wei was invited to ask questions, and Cheng Ziyu heard her self-introduction, saying that she was a servant from Qingpingfang in the next county, and she was eighteen years old this year...... What she said was clear-eyed, without the slightest hesitation, Cheng Ziyu was grateful to Li Chun in her heart.

He did more for her than she thought......

After being questioned again, Cheng Ziyu, Fubo and Gui'er were invited to the second floor of the big ship......

As soon as she opened the door, Fu's mother, who was walking in the front, sat on the ground and cried.

"It's all the old slave's fault! If the old slave didn't go to ask for any tricks, why would there be no one around the girl, and there would be no such an accident! What about the old lady? Those are the savings of half of the old man's life, and they are the lifeblood of the old man!

What's going on with Mrs. Lin? How can the goods be in time? Not only will the compensation be tripled, if Mrs. Lin is angry and stops other orders, who can afford this loss? The order is broken, what should the girl do? The reputation and reputation that the girl has accumulated over the years will also be ruined, and she will not be able to live, she will not be able to live! ”

Mother Fu turned around and grabbed the corner of Wanzhi County's robe, only to almost cry out of breath......

Only then did the officers and soldiers stretch their heads and look into the room......

One word: chaos!

It's all over the place!

More than a dozen large boxes were all pried open, and clothes and sundries were scattered all over the ground, but nothing of value was missing.

Not only that, except for the three pairs of gilt bottles that could not be taken away and two pieces of ceramics that were broken all over the ground, even the goods of the Cheng family and the birthday gift prepared for Mrs. Lin disappeared as a whole......

Walking inside, Cheng Ziyu's bed was also turned upside down.

Isn't this obvious theft, and what is it?

Cheng Ziyu's whole body softened...... There was another flurry of panic.

After pouring a cup of hot tea, she barely recovered......

With Gui'er's support, she followed Wanzhi County and others forward little by little.

They stopped in front of one of the largest and most valuable mahogany chests.

Cheng Ziyu glanced at it, and the whole person shook so much that she almost fell down.

"This big box has two locks! There were 1,000 taels of silver in it, but 200 taels were used up all the way, and there should be 800 taels left. In addition, there are more than a dozen sets of heads, almost all of my valuable jewelry! ……”

But the officers and soldiers saw that the box was empty at this moment, leaving only a large number of jewelry boxes from which the items had been taken. The locks were violently cut and pried to the ground.

The officers and soldiers stepped forward and flipped through it, and several gold beads rolled out of a treasure box.

Mother Fu stepped forward and picked up the beads.

"This is the beads on our girl's Nine Treasures! Those greedy wolves! Official, there is such a big purple gem on that treasure hairpin, which is our girl's birthday gift! The old lady spent more than 2,000 taels of silver to build it in Jinling Fengxi Tower, and it was gone! ”

Wanzhi County's head, which had been pumping, began to hurt a little.

"So, it's a total of eight hundred taels of silver and a dozen sets of jewelry, right?"

Cheng Ziyu gasped when she heard this, and Mother Fu howled even louder.

Wanzhi County has a bad heart.

"More than that! There were 20,000 taels of silver that my grandfather had given me, and 5,000 taels of silver from my private house! That was the principal I went to Shu to open a semicolon, but it's gone, it's gone......"

The master's pen walked quickly on the file, but Cheng Ziyu was glazed-eyed, and the whole person staggered.

"How do I explain to my grandfather, how do I explain to Mrs. Lin, I don't want to live, don't live!"

She said that she was about to hit the officer and soldier knife, but was hugged by Fu's mother in the waist.

"Girl, it's a long time coming! Can you have something to do, the Cheng family is still pointing at you! Come to think of it, you still have a few items for the royal family and the Ministry of Rites that you haven't done! When the time comes, the emperor and the court will blame it, and the Cheng family can't afford it! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the officers and soldiers once again smoked together, almost forgetting that this Cheng family was still an imperial businessman. If this is not clear, I am afraid that it will have to alarm the top!

Their scalps were numb, so they hurriedly brought chairs to Cheng Ziyu and poured hot tea again......

Gui'er wiped her tears: "Officials, and those jewelry, because they represent the faΓ§ade of our girl and the Cheng family, they are used for birthday celebrations and banquets, so none of them are cheap!" The cheapest of them was also worth more than five hundred taels of silver. ”

Gui'er stepped forward and rummaged through a pile of empty boxes, and finally found a few pieces of paper in a corner and handed them to Wanzhi County.

"Fortunately, this thing is not remembered by thieves, but it is kept. Sir, our group brought a lot of things, and this is a list of items made before setting off for easy searching. All my stuff is on it. How much is on it, how much is left at the moment, minus it, and you will know how much we have been stolen. ”

Wan Zhixian shook the list in his hand, and looked carefully, he was still babbling at first, but the further he went, the more difficult his face became.

The names of those complicated jewelry, each piece is red gold with gems and jade, and each piece is a big one. Those congratulatory gifts from the Cheng family for their birthdays, although he didn't know much about them, he could guess from the well-known names, but he was afraid that all of them were worth a lot of money.

There was also the batch of rose-glazed goods, just now when he got on the ship, he had heard the onlookers talking about it, saying that it was on the Jingxi and Zhenjiang wharves, and the price of that set of goods had soared to nearly four thousand taels. And in the past few days, the set of rose glaze has been fried to 5,000 taels of silver......

His head was really starting to hurt, and his head was full of numbers.

So what is this loss? At this moment, if you make such a conservative estimate, is there almost 40,000 taels of silver? Obediently, 40,000 taels!

Such a large amount of money was lost at Jiujiang Wharf, and the face of the entire Jiujiang and even the Jiangxi Imperial Court would not be guaranteed! In the future, who will dare to dock at Jiujiang Wharf, how can they afford it? How to explain?

If the thief can't be caught, this basin will definitely have to be buckled on the head of the Jiujiang Imperial Court! It's going to be bad luck up and down......

"But...... Miss Cheng has no evidence, will she remember the wrong number? You can't say as much as you want, right? ”

The old fritter in Wanzhi County, his brain turned fast, and he immediately had a plan to reduce his losses.

Cheng Ziyu laughed and got up......
