Sun Youxiang tried to take a breath, forcing his situation to look less bad. Things have happened, instead of sighing, it is better to find Gu Changming to explain the matter clearly, and now the only lifesaver is probably only the person in front of him.

Gu Changming looked sideways at Dai Guozi beside him, Guozi had an upright personality and couldn't pretend to be fake. Is his worry about Sun Youxiang true, and does he really not know the secrets in this study? The position Sun Youxiang was sitting in was itself a problem, and his expression was so guarded. He was a little curious, those who were rejected by Sun Youxiang were the old men who had been in the county government for many years. It can be seen that after the last floating corpse case was closed, Sun Youxiang valued him very much.

"My lord, you mean!" Dai Guozi's identity is not only a catcher, but also Sun Youxiang's godson. Over the years, he has never seen Sun Youxiang so unruly, forcing him to push his hands on both sides of the desk, and the whole person is almost on the table.

"Something happened and it was stolen from the county office." Sun Youxiang saw Gu Changming turn around and lock the door of the study from the inside. He was a little helpless about Dai Guozi, who was in a hurry next to him, and he had been by his side for more than ten years, and he didn't know as much about him as an outsider.

"What was stolen?" Dai Guozi's face was dazed, Master Sun was a veritable Qing official. Although his wife died of illness many years ago, the monthly salary of the main book is still used to pull Dai Guo up. Sometimes at the end of the month, it is still overstretched, what valuable things can people steal from such a county office? Even if you steal some silver, calligraphy and painting, you don't have to be nervous as if the sky is about to fall.

"Master Sun, what is the purpose of the mechanism in the house, I don't know if it's convenient to tell me?" Gu Changming was the first time to enter Sun Youxiang's study, but he didn't expect that there was something inside, and the origin was not small. Before he entered the study, he looked twice around the periphery. When he entered the room, the depth of the room was a little strange, and he could understand what was going on after thinking about it.

Sun Youxiang didn't say a word, and directly activated the mechanism, and when the secret door in the middle of the bookcase appeared, Dai Guozi's eyes were straight. What is the situation and why he doesn't know at all! There's also a secret room in the master's study!

Gu Changming followed Sun Youxiang and stepped in, and it was almost the size of a study. It was supposed to be piled up, but now it's clean and there isn't even a copper left. He stepped forward and crouched down, looked carefully at the marks on the ground, and touched the marks with his fingers.

"You've already guessed what was going on here." Sun Youxiang didn't plan to hide it from Gu Changming, there was nothing left, and it would be useless to hide it.

"Although the lord has a huge amount of gold in the secret room of the study, he is still frank and open. So I think the source of this gold is well-founded, and it should also be part of the official silver. Gu Changming stood up and met Sun Youxiang's gaze. If it was really Sun Youxiang's personal savings, then after it was stolen, it would be impossible to ask him to come over to help, "I just thought, with such a amount of gold, the agency is too weak, and the manpower in the county government is too thin." Once someone wants to get their hands on it, it's a breeze. ”

Dai Guozi pointed to the empty secret room, and then pointed to Gu Changming, when a person is too surprised, he often can't speak. He looked at the two people in front of him talking eloquently, but he was abandoned, and the problems in his stomach came up angrily and urgently, all stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit out at all.

Dai Guozi is Sun Youxiang's closest relative, and even his closest relatives don't know the truth in advance, Gu Changming suddenly felt that the courage on his shoulders was a little heavy. Based on the severity of the indentation, he roughly estimated that the gold stolen in the secret room was about 5,000 taels, and it was a lot of money wherever he got it. Sun Youxiang, whether it is a family background or an official position, it is impossible for him to have such a sum of money at hand.

"When was the last time you entered the secret room, and when did you find out that the gold had been stolen?" What Gu Changming wants to ask more is the source of gold, who stores it? Looking at Sun Youxiang's appearance, he won't tell the truth for the time being, or find the gold first.

"I received word last night that someone would come and take the gold away. I also deliberately opened the secret room mechanism to take a look, and when I came back this morning, it was already stolen. Sun Youxiang couldn't describe the mood of the sky falling apart in an instant, "This money, only I know in the entire county government, and I haven't even told the fruit." The mechanism is weak, but it is also secretive. ”

"What's more important is that Lord Sun himself is the best cover-up." Gu Changming made a gesture and motioned to come out of the secret room first, "At that time, I chose to store the gold here with Master Sun, and I also felt that it was safe here. Just now the adult said that he received the message last night, I don't know what kind of message? ”

"The letter is here." Sun Youxiang pointed to the table top, "There is a unique connection flower on it. ”

"Are you sure that Master Sun is not a copy?" Gu Changming originally wanted to ask him to borrow the letter and read it, but he immediately understood. Sun Youxiang is so cautious, how could he leave such evidence, whether it is torn up or burned, the letter must be gone.

"Imitation? Would someone make a copy of a letter like that? Sun Youxiang couldn't react, the fire paint, the flower monogram, it was obviously true.

"Maybe the other party wants to test whether Master Sun really has such a huge sum of money in hand." Gu Changming patiently analyzed, "I just watched the reaction of the fruit, and I am sure that what Master Sun said, you are the only one in this county government who knows the secret of five thousand taels of gold. If the other party falsifies a letter and puts it in front of Lord Sun according to your usual correspondence habits, Lord Sun will inevitably go to the gold to confirm again under the prudence. ”

"You mean, when I opened the secret room, that man was lurking around me!" Sun Youxiang thought that opening the secret room mechanism with his own hands last night was tantamount to giving away the gold.

"Please wait a minute, Lord Sun." Gu Changming opened the door of the study and walked out.

"My lord, what the hell is going on?" Dai Guozi finally reacted, and the secret room they said still had five thousand taels of gold in the secret room. He saw little money, and he really couldn't imagine how magnificent the five thousand taels of gold piled together. Unfortunately, he didn't see it at a glance, and the gold was gone.

Gu Changming walked outside the door and looked up at the roof of the study, on which the double-layered blue tiles were laid diagonally. The slope is not small, and ordinary people can't stand on it. Gu Changming sneered slightly, if it was an ordinary person, how could he dare to covet five thousand taels of gold, and they all stole from the county government. He originally felt that the inch cat was bold enough to attack General Yujing's mansion. I didn't expect there to be a more powerful one here.

People die for money, birds die for food, and 5,000 taels of gold is indeed worth the risk. Gu Changming jumped up and landed steadily on the top of the tile. Dai Guozi chased him out, but he didn't have time to follow, so he crossed his hands and shouted: "You take me with me, I want to check the clues left by the thieves." ”

"You can't stand up when you come up, this tile is very slippery." Gu Changming glanced at Dai Guozi, saw that he rolled up his sleeves with his hands, went to move the bamboo ladder over, went to the side of the roof, and climbed up with his hands and feet, "Guozi, you beware of falling." ”

"You can't die if you fall, you can't find gold, and the people of the entire county can't survive!" Dai Guozi gritted his teeth and climbed up. I usually don't realize how high the top of the study is, how the bamboo ladder is dangling, and it has been slipping.

Gu Changming knew that he was telling the truth, five thousand taels of gold, if he couldn't find it, Sun Youxiang's official position was already the smallest problem. No one in the county government can get rid of these people who don't know at all, and if the officials are ruthless, they must be tortured to extract confessions, and they are bound to find out the gold. Several of these people were able to withstand torture.

"You're just going to just watch, come and give me a hand." Dai Guozi climbed the roof and was out of breath. Gu Changming's eyebrows didn't move, and he didn't mean to laugh at him, so he made his face look better. With Gu Changming's strength, he couldn't move at all except for being able to pick up the tiles: "You said that if I do this, have you destroyed all the clues?" ”

"That's what you know." Gu Changming was funny and angry, and understood that in the situation just now, let Dai Guozi not come up, would he be willing to listen? Only when he realizes what the problem is, can he be convinced. "Once the clues of the crime are destroyed, it is impossible to restore them."

"I know the truth, and I don't want to hang here and drink the wind. Didn't I get lost in my eyes just now, and I just wanted to come up! Dai Guozi couldn't turn around, so he couldn't see Gu Changming's expression, "It's better for you to stay here, find any clues, just tell the adults directly." ”

"But I want you to stay on it together, so that there can be a circumstantial evidence." Gu Changming's hand stretched out and untied the belt that wore the fruit.

"Hey, in broad daylight, what do you say about picking up my clothes!" The adults are still watching from below, and you are messing around!

"To make sure you stay safe." Gu Changming shook the belt in his hand, and the other end of the belt seemed to have eyes, and it circled around Dai Guozi's wrist a few times. When he lifted it harder, Dai Guozi's hands were released, and the person had already arrived at his side. "It's not hard to stand, you try to settle between two tiles."

Dai Guozi listened to his experience, and there was something to borrow, and his body was really a lot more stable. Gu Changming kept bringing him to the center of the roof, he calculated the direction and came, found one of the tiles, uncovered it with his hand, and turned around to signal Dai Guozi to come and see.

Dai Guozi wanted to say that it was not unusual for the tiles of this roof to be uncovered, so he wanted to pick up the piece at his feet, and grabbed it twice, only to find that he was wrong again.

"How can the roof be waterproof and rainproof with tiles alone, the bottom must be brushed with a layer of tung oil. Tung oil has high viscosity and a long time, and the tiles are equivalent to sticking to it, and it cannot be taken off without full strength. So this piece can only be picked up casually. Gu Changming gently pushed Dai Guozi, "If you look down, how much can you see?" ”
