Shen Xingjun's family was under the care of Xie Miao and Xie Ling, and Dong Zhongyuan and Wang He didn't dare to make any small moves, Yan Suizhi and Shen Jiayu made up for their sleep, and they were refreshed on the second day.

"Your second uncle said that he counted a fixed number every day, and he didn't find anything wrong in the past, and on the day of the accident, he was called by several colleagues to drink, and he has always been restrained, and he was worried about the ore in the warehouse, so he didn't drink more."

"When it was time to count, he left first, and his colleagues knew that he was conscientious, and he didn't forcibly keep him, and he happily said that he would make an appointment another day."

"As a result, when he returned to the palace, it was still brightly lit, but it felt quiet, you must know that minerals are the most important thing in Chenzhou, and many officials will be sent to guard them, but the officials are standing at the door, but the inside is empty."

Shen Xingjun's surprise and panic could not be concealed, and he directly grabbed the collar of a servant and asked him who was speaking, there was movement inside, and the servant didn't know anything, saying that he didn't hear the sound, and the ore was like running with long legs.

"In this way, my second uncle has an alibi, he was drinking with his colleagues before the incident, and then went back to the mansion directly from the restaurant, what about his colleagues?"

"They are all detained in their respective mansions, and we can visit them one by one after we finish inspecting the places where the incident occurred."

Yan Suizhi and Shen Jiayu reached a consensus, and Dong Zhongyuan was waiting at their door early, looking resigned: "The prince said yesterday that he would go to the treasury to have a look, and the people who have already managed the lower officials have asked for the key, so let's go." ”

Wang He also followed, he rarely spoke, and his attitude towards Yan Suizhi, the prince, was also average, neither sloppy nor too alienated.

There were two corridors between the treasury and the place where they lived, because it was empty, and the officials were all lazy, sitting on the ground and chatting, seeing Dong Zhongyuan coming with the big man, he quickly stood up straight and hurriedly saluted.

Dong Zhongyuan scolded, made a show, took out the key and opened the door of the warehouse.

"It's really clean, not even a bit of dross left."

The space in the warehouse is very large, and there are many iron shelves, and the ore is packed in boxes and transported and then arranged, and now only iron shelves are left, and there are no boxes.

"The prince doesn't know that the ores that can be placed in the treasury are all extremely high-quality, and they are not easy to break into pieces, and there is no slag in the first place, and the slag will be discarded in the veins, or they will be piled together and sold to the iron striker at a low price."

Shen Jiayu and Yan Suizhi quickly turned the room around, and Dong Zhongyuan followed behind their butts to occasionally make answers.

"Please also ask Zhizhou to find the official who was on duty at night, this king has something to ask."

Yan Suizhi sent Dong Zhongyuan away, and Shen Jiayu knocked on the iron frame and then on the wall, all of which were solid.

"You suspect there's a secret room here?"

Yan Suizhi asked.

Shen Jiayu nodded: "Second Uncle said that all the rest of the ore transported to the capital every month is here, even if there are only one or two boxes left at a time, it has been eight months now, and there is no ash on this shelf, and there are still traces of boxes on many of them." ”

"I take a cursory look, there are more than a dozen boxes, if there is no other passage, the thief can only pass through the main entrance, even if you are careful when moving, there will inevitably be a collision, the iron frame is even more so, there is a sound when you touch it slightly."

"And the officials didn't hear the movement, either they were lying and getting away with it from the beginning, or the thieves came in from somewhere else and didn't meet them, or they were insiders and were covering up."

Yan Suizhi agreed with her opinion: "Speaking of which, in fact, the officials are the most suspicious, and they can't escape the involvement." ”

Shen Jiayu snapped his fingers: "Yes." ”

Soon, Dong Zhongyuan returned, almost crawling, with obvious panic on his face: "Oh no, Lord Wang, those two servants died in their own rooms!" ”

Yan Suizhi and Shen Jiayu glanced at each other.

"Take this king quickly!"
