"Lord Xu, what are these?" Song Yaming pointed out the gold mark in his hand to him: "If this official is not mistaken, the batch of gold ingots lost in Suzhou some time ago was cast in Tianbao Nian, right?" How do you explain that? ”

Xu Yurong's legs were weak, but his small eyes were spinning desperately.

He is also an old treacherous and cunning person, fortunately, he was angry with his son Xu Changfeng before, and quickly replied according to the planned countermeasures: "Lord Xu, you are wronged!" You also know that the old minister's family was originally a businessman, and then my father changed careers after hardships, but my family's business has never been put on hold, and it has been handed over to the old housekeeper to take care of, and all this gold has been accumulated. In the past, the interest rate given by Suzhou Baoyin Commercial Bank was high, and Lao Chen asked his second son to store the gold in the commercial bank. Changfeng, go get the voucher. ”

Song Yaming snorted, he didn't believe it.

Suzhou Baoyin Commercial Bank lost a large number of gold and silver tickets a few days ago, most of which were gold cast in Tianbao year. This case of extraordinarily large theft was reported to the state capital, which in turn reported it to the central government, and the central government was responsible for the investigation. But the thieves had very clean hands and feet, and after tracking them for so long, there was no clue at all, and so far not a single piece of gold has been recovered.

With the intuition of being an official for many years, he can smell that this theft case is only afraid that it will be inseparable from the Xu family.

Xu Changfeng came back soon and handed over the two blank paper vouchers to Song Yaming.

Xu Yurong bowed and explained: "Lord Song, please see, this first one is the voucher when it was deposited at that time. It is clearly written, a total of three hundred and seventy-two taels of gold, and a denomination of fourteen thousand taels of silver tickets. This second one is the voucher when I took it out a few days ago, and the ridiculous thing that Xu Changhai made about it was that I didn't make a weapon, and the money was not used, so it was temporarily stored in the treasury. ”

Song Ya carefully checked the vouchers in his hand, and the white paper and black characters were printed, and the payment seal was all there, and it was not fake.

He scrutinized the date and found that the gold had been taken five days before the theft, so how could it be such a coincidence?

"Xu County ordered so much gold and silver, what is the matter? Why didn't it work? Song Yaming caught the loophole in Xu Yurong's words and asked.

Xu Yurong's old face turned red and coughed.

Song Yaming's entourage quietly attached to his ear, and briefly talked about the fact that the original eldest son of the Xu family repented of his marriage and framed his original fiancée, and also hooked up with his fiancée's cousin behind his back.

The performance evaluation of officials in the Great Wei Dynasty is very strict, and although the conduct of the children of officials is not included in the scope of the assessment, it is one of the bases for reference by the Inspectorate Division. This Xu Yurong's children are so virtuous, and after his wife was disfigured, he couldn't wait to divorce his wife and support his concubine, his own morality can be imagined, how despisable it is!

But in this way, Xu Yurong's words are right, could it be that he really wronged him?

Song Yaming felt that something was very wrong in his heart, but there was something wrong there, and he couldn't say it, so he had to reluctantly return the two slips to Xu Changfeng.

Xu Changfeng took the note, quietly exchanged a successful look with Xu Yurong, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the eyes of Wei Shi, who was watching coldly, a sly smile flashed.

Be proud, and when you cry! Yun Ge's plan, link by link, he waited to see this group of people crying and begging for mercy!

The Xu family has just experienced a fire, there must be a lot of important things to deal with, Wei Shi and the others are inconvenient to stay for a long time, so they all quit.

Song Yaming is Xu Yurong's superior, and Xu Changfeng has become Wei Shi's dog meat friend, and both father and son sent them out. When he went out of the gate, Song Yaming subconsciously wanted to let Wei Shi go first, and Wei Shi pushed him out of the door first. His small action, the Xu family's father and son didn't see it, but it scared Song Yaming out of a cold sweat.

At this moment, another group of people on the street in front of him rushed to Xu's house, and the leader was Shen Congshan.

Seeing so many people in the Xu family, he was obviously a little surprised. When he saw that it was Lord Song who was standing at the front, his face suddenly calmed down, and he stepped forward and saluted: "See Lord Song, Lord Xu!" ”

"What's the matter?" Xu Yurong frowned.

This Shen Congshan, didn't you see that Lord Song was here, and he still brought so many people. Last time, the unfilial son Xu Changfeng annoyed Lord Yu, and he spent a lot of money to get it done. Lord Song is still Lord Yu's boss, and I heard that he is the least proficient in life, if he disturbs Song Yaming, he will have a lot of hard days!

Shen Congshan got up and replied: "Two adults, there are some key clues about the Cangyuan Mountain Bandit Kou case today, but ......"

"But what? What do you have to say? Lord Song is here, even if it is an unshakable person, he will handle it impartially! Xu Yurong and Xu Changfeng glanced at each other, they were all happy, and Xu Yurong immediately shouted with a straight face.

Good guy, it took two days to catch that person, the efficiency is really slow!

But it's good to catch it, this time, he doesn't believe that he can't bring down the Mu family, once the Mu family falls, he will definitely have to raid the family, how much silver to report and how many kickbacks to take, it's not up to him to have the final say?

Thinking about the Mu family's gold and silver mountains, he has to wake up laughing in his dreams!

A trace of doubt flashed in Shen Congshan's eyes, as if the adults had a premonition of something, but the meaning of the words was a little puzzling.

Shen Congshan is a rough man who practices martial arts, and his temperament will not turn, so he immediately replied: "Tell the two adults, the small one squatted for two days, and finally followed the thief in Cangyuan Mountain, the thief's martial arts are very good, the small one chased for half the night, the thief had nowhere to escape, and finally hid in a courtyard." But in that courtyard, the small ones didn't dare to go in, so they had to come back and ask the adults! ”

"Someone's yard?" Song Yaming also had the same doubts in his heart as Shen Congshan.

Shen Congshan glanced at Xu Yurong, the latter had a look of expectation and encouragement in his eyes, he shook his head, he must have thought wrong, and immediately told the truth: "Lord Song, the steward of the courtyard said that the courtyard is Lord Xu's other courtyard!" ”

The doubts in Song Yaming's heart were infinitely magnified, thieves, other courtyards, gold and silver...... Everything seems to be connected.

Xu Yurong's smug smile froze on his face little by little, the blood on Xu Changfeng's face faded, and both father and son showed a trace of imperceptible panic in their eyes: "You say, whose courtyard is it?" ”

"My lord, the steward said that it was your other courtyard!" Shen Congshan thought that he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it more heavily.

Xu Yurong was so frightened that his heart jumped out of his throat, and he couldn't help but deny it: "Farewell? What annex? ”

Song Yaming snorted again, the preface does not match the afterword, there must be a ghost in it.

He commanded categorically: "Take us there!" ”

Xu Yurong, who was almost lost in the Three Souls and Six Spirits, suddenly reacted when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to stop Song Yaming: "Shen Zhutou, are you talking about the other courtyard in the north of the city?" It was a place where the Xu family used to raise some livestock and grow some fruits and vegetables on weekdays. Lord Song, that place is very messy and dirty, don't go! ”

His words fell in Song Yaming's ears, and he clearly wanted to cover up.

Song Yaming took out his waist card, shook it in front of Xu Yurong and others, and said word by word: "From now on, all the people in the Jinling County Ya will be under the command of the Governor's Office, and if there is anyone who does not obey, they will be held accountable according to the law." Shen catches the head, lead the way! ”

Immediately, the group followed Shen Congshan to the north of the city.

The steward of the annex was about to lock the door, when he suddenly saw Shen coming back from the mountain, he immediately jumped out arrogantly and scolded: "You head catcher is so unreasonable, I said that this is the Xu family's courtyard, do you dare to come back?" Why, do you think I'm afraid of you with a lot of people? Let me tell you, there are people in my courtyard, and if you really fight, you may not lose to those of you who eat public meals! ”

He expected that Shen Congshan would go to Xu's house to ask for instructions, and the adults would definitely suppress it, and he was really fearless.

Xu Yurong, who was surrounded by Song Yaming and others in the crowd, couldn't get up in one breath when he heard this, and almost turned his back on it.

Wei Shi chuckled: "Lord Xu is really generous in this area, even a subordinate dares to show the face of the yamen!" ”

No matter how small the Shen head catcher is, he is also an official, and if he is an official, he more or less represents the royal family, and the Xu family's subordinates are just a subordinate, so they do it against the head catcher, isn't it obvious that they don't take the official family in their eyes?

Song Yaming somewhat understood Wei Shi's words, he was really angry, and his face was not good-looking immediately.

"Blind your dog's eyes, open your eyes wide and see clearly, this is Lord Song of the Patrol Division!" Xu Changfeng couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out of the crowd.

The person in charge suddenly saw Xu Changfeng in the crowd, and was immediately startled, realizing that he had really kicked the iron plate today, and he reacted quickly, so he immediately knelt down and slapped his face, and said while beating: "Lord Song, Shen Zhutou, the old slave has a broken mouth, don't be like the old slave." ”

Song Yaming ignored him, turned his head and asked Shen Congshan: "This is it?" ”

Shen Congshan nodded, and Song Yaming ordered the guards behind him: "Surround the courtyard, no one is allowed to enter or leave." Wang Han and Chen Chao, the two of you are looking around to see if there are any secret passages and exits in the other courtyard. If there is, all those who come out of the secret passage will be arrested and interrogated tomorrow! ”

The guards broke down the door and searched the courtyard first.

In a short time, the guards searched for a number of jewels from the courtyard and piled them up in the living room of the courtyard, which was dazzling.

The faces of the Xu family's father and son became more and more pale, cold sweat was dripping down, and their legs were trembling.

Song Yaming grabbed one of the figure paintings and sneered: "This "Lock Advice Map" is a famous work of Yan Liben in the Tang Dynasty, which has been collected by Master Ru of Suzhou, and is listed in the stolen things that came to Suzhou News a few days ago. Master Xu, think about it, how do you explain that the stolen things in Suzhou will appear in your courtyard? ”

"My lord, the thief I saw that day was this person!" Shen Congshan escorted a man dressed as a housekeeper, came out of the back of the courtyard, and went straight back to Song Yaming.

Song Yaming asked all the people in his subordinate courtyard to be tied up and escorted to the prison of the Inspectorate to await trial.

He glanced at the father and son of the Xu family, and immediately a guard stepped forward to tie up the father and son.

Xu Changfeng has always been pampered, although he knows that he can't help himself now, he still mustered up the last bit of courage and shouted: "Lord Song, my father and you are both officials in the court, I am a son, according to the law of the Great Wei, the rope cannot be added to the body of fame!" Do you want to know the law and break the law? ”
