A group of people returned to the yamen, and the catchers went to rest, and the county magistrate gave Chen Jinbao an order before going back to sleep. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Chen Zhutou, tomorrow morning, you can take people to look for the bodies of the two deceased, be sure to find them, understand?"
This made Chen Jinbao very helpless, and persuaded: "Master, the lower officials think that it is not possible to conclude that the two are dead. ”
"Hmm!"
The county magistrate asked, "Then where did these two go?" How did you escape from a locked room? At present, it seems that it is more reasonable to say that the two of them are dead. ”
Chen Jinbao couldn't refute it, because it was not unreasonable for the county magistrate to say this.
“............... The subordinate obeyed. ”
The county magistrate went back to the house to sleep after explaining the matter, while Chen Jinbao and Wang Fugui couldn't sleep and had been discussing.
"Master, we can't seem to rule out the possibility that the two of them are dead now."
"Nonsense!"
Chen Jinbao continued: "At present, I am quite suspicious of those two people. ”
"Those two? Master, are you talking about Bai Naqian and his daughter-in-law? ”
Chen Jinbao nodded.
Wang Fugui smiled and said, "Master, do you think he killed two people?" They just kill Bai Song, the key is what happened to Miss Bai? The reason why they killed Bai Song was because of their daughter's relationship, why did they .................."
Wang Fugui stopped in the middle of speaking, and he slowly frowned, as if he had thought of something.
After a while, Wang Fugui looked at Chen Jinbao and said, "Master, you mean, they killed Bai Song, but they never expected Miss Bai to disappear?" ”
Chen Jinbao nodded.
"That's right."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, master."
Wang Fugui waved his hand at Chen Jinbao, then bit his thumb again and thought for a while.
"Master, although it feels more reasonable if you think like this, there is one more place you don't understand."
Chen Jinbao sighed and said, "That's right, that's it." Hey, forget it, go to bed, and go to Bai's house again tomorrow. ”
"Okay."
........................
Early the next morning, Chen Jinbao came to Bai's house with a few catchers, and just arrived at the door and was about to come forward to knock on the door, the door opened suddenly, and Chen Jinbao looked at a family member coming out of it.
As soon as the family saw a few catchers, he knelt down without saying a word.
"Ouch! Your Excellency is really a living immortal, why did you come? ”
Chen Jinbao was puzzled and asked, "You don't have to make such a big salute, you tell me first, what's going on?" ”
"Ouch, sama! The little one was just going to report to the official, but he lost something at home. ”
"Huh?"
Chen Jinbao hurriedly asked, "You get up first, what's the matter?" ”
Jia Ding stood up, bowed to Chen Jinbao and said, "My lord, you don't know. Just now, the old man found that the family's money was gone, and asked the little one to hurry up and tell you about it. And isn't she already dead, miss? The old man asked the little one to go to the yamen to report the case, and by the way, he asked where the young lady's body was, and the family was so buried. ”
"The money is gone?"
Chen Jinbao asked again: "Did you just find out?" ”
Jia Ding nodded.
"Yes, my lord, my lord is distressed inside."
Chen Jinbao nodded and said, "Okay, take me to your master." ”
After speaking, the family took Chen Jinbao all the way to the study, only to see Bai Naqian pointing at a few family members and scolding.
"Say! Where did you hide the money? ”
Jia Ding was very aggrieved.
"The master didn't take it from the little ones."
Seeing Bai Naqian stretching out his hand and preparing to beat the family, Chen Jinbao shouted: "Master Bai." ”
Bai Naqian saw Chen Jinbao and immediately withdrew his hand again, and hurriedly walked to Chen Jinbao and bowed.
"Your Excellency, you're coming fast enough."
Chen Jinbao shook his head and said, "No, I happened to meet your family when I came to your house, okay, let's talk about what's going on." ”
Bai Naqian sighed and said, "Hey, don't you know, my lord, the little one has been unlucky recently, the girl just had this accident, and the silver in the study just the next day was also stolen, and the little one is also uncomfortable." ”
Chen Jinbao turned his head and looked at the few family members who had been trained by Bai Naqian just now, all of them with aggrieved faces.
"Master Bai, was the silver still there before the disappearance of the young lady and that guy yesterday?"
Bai Naqian replied, "It should be there." ”
"Should it be?"
Chen Jinbao then asked: "As a result, you can't guarantee when you lost it?" Could it be that Miss and Bai Song took the silver away when they disappeared? ”
When Bai Naqian heard this, he didn't speak for a long time, and his face slowly became frightened.
Seeing that Bai Naqian didn't react for a long time, Chen Jinbao shouted: "Master Bai? ”
After that, Bai Naqian looked at Chen Jinbao blankly and said, "My lord, didn't you say that the little girl and Bai Song are dead?" ”
Looking at Bai Naqian's appearance, Chen Jinbao's back spine cooled.
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, tell you, now I just suspect that they are dead, and they haven't been confirmed yet, after all, the bodies haven't been found yet."
The expression on Bai Naqian's face remained unchanged.
"My lord, there is one thing I want to tell you, that money was obtained from a small transaction, and Madame asked me to hide it in the study, and only Madame, me, and my daughter knew about it. Mrs. heard last night that her daughter was gone, and she couldn't afford to be sick until she woke up, and the little one was so angry just now, thinking that it was taken by the family, and now I think they don't know where they are hiding. You say............"
Bai Naqian stared at Chen Jinbao with blank eyes, staring at Chen Jinbao until his hair straightened.
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, you take me to see where you hide the money first!"
Bai Naqian's face finally recovered, and he said, "Okay, good, come with me, my lord." ”
After speaking, Bai Naqian asked the family to leave, and then took Chen Jinbao into the study. After entering the house, Chen Jinbao looked around, there were bookshelves full of books all around, and the room was not very big, so he really didn't dare to think about how much silver could be hidden in such a room.
Subsequently, Bai Naqian took down a row of books, Chen Jinbao saw that the back of the book was full of silver, it turned out that the books were all hidden from people's ears, he cut the book in half, and the space left behind was all used to put silver.
Chen Jinbao looked stupid.
"Why do you have to hide it like that?"
Bai Naqian replied: "My lord, the little one also thinks that there is no need for this, but the lady said that it is better to tell the thief that there are good things in it than to lock it up, so she makes it difficult for the little one to lose it, and there are no valuable objects in the locked box at home." ”
"Oh, no wonder you have to buy your own lock and fight wits with your daughter-in-law."
Bai Naqian smiled.
"My lord, the little one lost a total of six ingots of silver, and I don't know who took it."
"Are you sure? Did you lose one yesterday? Chen Jinbao asked.
Bai Naqian thought for a while and said, "Generally, the lady will come to see it, and the small ones sometimes come to see it, but I didn't come to see it yesterday." ”
Chen Jinbao nodded.
"Oh........"
