Zhou Yunyi, who was anxiously waiting for the imperial court, brought them a drink, as long as the drink was in place, they could act immediately.

Xiao Chenzi was also very quick at work, and the day after receiving the letter, he immediately sent people to pack boxes of silver for building the embankment and helping the villagers to relocate to Xiangzhou City.

This trip to Xiangzhou is a long way to go, so in order to speed up the speed of transporting silver taels, Xiao Chengze also specially told Xiao Chenzi to go to his mahjong to get two sweaty BMWs.

Xiao Chenzi obeyed the order and sent a few sweaty BMWs, and then sent guards to press the car, which can effectively protect the safety of the two of you.

Xiao Chenzi stood at the gate of the city and watched as several of them set off with the money they needed.

The team escorting Yin Liang worked fast all the way, and almost never stopped at the post station in the middle, in short, it took about seven days to rush to Xiangzhou City.

As soon as Zhou Yunyi saw this, the person who gave them two silver taels was simply very happy, because now it was urgent, if it was a few more days, it would really catch up with another heavy rain, and the entire Xiangzhou achievement would be in danger.

Zhou Yunyi first instructed the guards to arrange all the volumes into the house, an empty room, and then sealed it with a seal, in short, all people were not allowed to leave the country, and then after Situ Rou and Wang Shi came back, the three of them counted together.

The task of counting the silver taels is a huge and complicated job, and Zhou Yunyi can't do it alone, so he needs a helper, and he must be a trustworthy helper.

Zhou Yunyi temporarily arranged the silver taels to the treasury, pasted seals, and asked the citizens who came all the way to hurry up to rest, and borrowed some officers and soldiers from Master Sun.

Zhou Yunyi sent heavy troops to guard it, and felt that there should be no problem.

Soon after, Situ Rou and Wang Shi returned separately

, Zhou Yunyi thought to himself that the number of people should be about the same now, as long as they have the patience to listen and count, they should be able to clear the number of all the silver taels before going to bed at night, and then classify them.

Wait until tomorrow morning to pay the project money first, go to buy materials first, and then exchange the remaining part of the silver into copper coins, after all, the property of the villagers' families is not a whole dollar, there will always be some fraction.

The three of them came to the storeroom together and tore off the seal on the storeroom.

"Let's get started, order this box first, and then we'll pile up the finished boxes in the left corner." Zhou Yunyi commanded Wang Shi.

"That's the case, master, I have to tell you the truth, I haven't studied well since I was a child, especially in mathematics, I don't know anything at all." Wang Shi has a headache for arithmetic, surgery and the like.

"But don't worry, the master has the strength to do it, and the rough work of moving boxes will be handed over to his subordinates!" In order to prevent Zhou Yunyi and Situ Rou from disliking him for being useless, Wang Shi volunteered to help them move the boxes.

"In this case, if the two of us do the counting, won't it take longer to complete the count?" Zhou Yunyi originally thought that she could go to bed early today.

Zhou Yunyi glanced at Situ Rou, "Ah Rou, let's come on!" ”

At this time, Situ Rou was leaning against the door frame with her hands around her chest, and when she heard Wang Shi say that she didn't know anything about counting, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. If Wang Shi hadn't said the next sentence quickly, he might have really blurted out a few curses.

After all, when Situ Rou was in the barracks, he was known for being stern. In normal times, those soldiers, except for General Situ, are afraid of Situ Rou.

Situ Rou looked at the four big boxes piled up in front of her, and knew that tonight was doomed. I can't rest.

Zhou Yunyi and Situ Rou began to count all the silver taels, and Wang Shi also helped according to what he said, and the two of them moved out of their positions.

When Zhou Yunyi counted the last layer of silver in the last box, he noticed that the number was wrong.

"The previous number was wrong." Zhou Yunyi said.

"What, no!" Situ Rou was very surprised, because he knew the importance of this money, which was the appropriation of the imperial court, and it was in the same form as the military salary they had in the barracks before, almost all of them were from. Every payment made directly in the treasury has a detailed purpose, and if there is a situation of burning money, it will cause a big problem.

Wang Shi almost didn't hold the box after hearing this, he was now holding the box and moving eastward, if he let go, he would definitely hit his own foot.

She obviously wrote to Xiao Chengze that it was 12,000 taels of silver, but in the end, there were less than 12,000 taels left, probably only more than 10,000 taels, and less than 11,000 taels of silver.

This amount of silver was far from enough for them, less than 2,000 pieces of silver.

It is impossible for Xiao Chengze to bargain for less money for him, after all, it is now to control the flood, and every penny is spent on the blade. Even if there is not enough money in the treasury, he will do everything possible to get all the money together and send it to someone.

Now suddenly there is so much less money. The deficit in this can be imagined.

Zhou Yunyi began to thoroughly investigate the time when the silver two were lost.

"Think about what happened before we came?" Situ Rou asked Zhou Yunyi to try to reminisce.

"There is nothing wrong with it, I put them in the treasury after I borrowed them, and then carefully sealed them."

For this matter, Zhou Yunyi's first suspicion was Master Sun.

Although Lord Sun has never shown up, it is relatively easy for him to be a self-thief.

"Do you think it could be that Lord Sun?" Situ Rou was also suspicious of Master Sun.

"What if it's really him?" Wang Shi felt that if it was a thief, it would be fine, and he could immediately go and snatch the money back. But if it was Lord Sun, who had been living with them, who was stealing the things now, he would definitely not admit it easily.

"I think it must be him, if it weren't for him, where else could a thief so easily remove the silver taels under everyone's noses?"

"If we don't take a closer look, I'm afraid we will be fooled by him, if you look for it now, maybe they haven't finished dealing with the stolen money."

Zhou Yunyi naturally knew that it couldn't be the thief outside, it must be the money stolen by their internal personnel.

Therefore, Zhou Yunyi immediately launched an investigation, and wanted to turn the entire mansion upside down with great fanfare, if he could really find out the stolen money, then he could directly convict Lord Sun.

Zhou Yunyi was also suspicious of the guards who escorted these silver pairs, but after a series of inquiries from him, he felt that they were not quite like each other, and there was another problem, that is, everyone knew that a few of them were sending drinks to each other, and if there was really something missing on the way, they would not be able to escape the blame.

If you steal these thousands of taels of silver and then pretend that no one is fine, it is better to directly sweep away all the more than 10,000 taels of silver.

Therefore, the degree of suspicion of Sun Daren is still the highest.

However, Zhou Yunyi sent people to look around, but they couldn't find where the so-called stolen money was.

Zhou Yunyi was very depressed, and asked Situ Rou again, "When you went to see it last time, was there really no dark room or anything like that?" Such a large sum of money, if it was really taken by Lord Sun, it would not have disappeared out of thin air like this. ”

Situ Rou shook her head, "I've already checked his bedroom and study, and there are no hidden compartments and organs, could it be that he arranged things elsewhere?" ”

Situ Rou felt that this was not impossible, so she decided to explore it again, "I only checked those two rooms last time, maybe he arranged the dark room to another room." ”

"You have to be careful when you check." Zhou Yunyi was inexplicably worried about Situ Rou.

Zhou Yunyi took the purse from his clothes and handed it to Wang Shi.

"I still have some coils left, you immediately use the money to buy materials, I also know that this money is not enough, you buy some of it first, let the workers do it first."

"Yes."

Zhou Yunyi looked at the boxes of money in front of him, although it seemed like a lot, but with this money to buy the materials and labor costs required for the project, the remaining money was not enough to distribute to the people.

What can I do, if Situ Rou's side goes smoothly and can find the lost silver taels, everything will naturally be fine, if he can't find it smoothly, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

At that time, the flood will destroy the entire city of Xiangzhou.

Zhou Yunyi naturally didn't want to see such a scene, and the top priority at the moment was to find his money.

But if he doesn't know the people here, where can he go to get money?

Zhou Yunyi decided to take a risky move, he knew that there was a well-known gambling house in this city, and the rich people in the city liked to go there to play two games.

Zhou Yunyi said that he would do it, and immediately called Wang Shi and went to the money shop. Sure enough, there are a lot of dignitaries and nobles who come here to play.

"Queen Mother, are you really good?" Wang Shi asked in Zhou Yunyi's ear.

Zhou Yunyi didn't want the money in the box, and all his own money was handed over to Wang Shi just now, so he was penniless, so he had to borrow some of his private money from Wang Shi.

To be honest, Wang Shi had some pain, and he was very worried that Zhou Yunyi would take his money to waste.

Zhou Yunyi's purpose is not to have fun, but to let some dignitaries and nobles make a series of donations through here.

But Zhou Yunyi also knew very well in his heart that these people were rich, but they were very stingy with the money they didn't have, and it would be very laborious to take out some money from them.

So Zhou Yunyi can only do what he can, if he can really get a part of the donation for emergency, it is better than not having a penny.

Zhou Yunyi walked to one of the tables, threw a silver ingot on the table, and then began to buy the size.

Zhou Yunyi had played with these things before, and she could also rely on her hearing to hear the law of dice shaking in it without being a good person.

These are all taught to him by her grandmother, and his grandmother has no other hobbies in her life, and her biggest hobby is to play mahjong and dice.

Especially after retirement, I grew up in the elderly activity center of the community almost every day and played mahjong with the uncles and aunts in the community.

When Zhou Yunyi was a child, her parents were busy with work, so they put him at her grandmother's house and asked her grandmother to take care of her.

Grandma Zhou is a fun-loving personality and can't be bored at home, so she holds her granddaughter and goes to play mahjong and dice. Zhou Yunyi has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she naturally learned it, but her grandmother is not so powerful.
