Qiao Zhongtian was caught, and then looked at the handful of hair in his daughter's hand, and couldn't help grinning.

"My son, you're almost bald as a father."

Although he didn't know why Qiao Wanshu had to follow, it was always right to bring it.

Qiao Wanshu also looked at the hair in her hand in a daze, put her little hand on it, and touched Qiao Zhongtian's face flatteringly.

[I'm sorry, Dad, I was in a hurry for a while, and I didn't stop. 】

Anyway, Qiao Wanshu got into the carriage in her father's arms and galloped all the way to the household.

Before I got to the door, I saw that my eldest brother was stopped outside, arguing with someone.

"General Qiao Xiao, you are now a relative of the suspect, and according to the order of Dali Temple, you should recuse yourself from this case like Qiao Shaoqing. Therefore, as the scene of the crime, the household department cannot let you enter casually. ”

The one who stopped Qiao Jingchen was a petty official in the household department.

is not because of Qiao Jingchen's identity, so he opened the net.

"My third brother just walked into that gold shop by accident, and even a few days after he came back, how could he have time to commit a crime?"

Qiao Jingyue argued.

But the petty official refused to let him in, no matter what he said.

Qiao Zhong got out of the carriage and pulled his eldest son behind him.

"If you want to go to see the scene, do you need to avoid it?"

The little official was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect even Qiao Zhongtian to come.

Who doesn't know that Qiao Xiangye's power is tilted towards the opposition, he really doesn't want to be an enemy of the Qiao family, and he loses his black yarn hat again.

Qiao Zhongtian saw that he was hesitant, and lost the momentum of stopping the eldest son just now, and said, "If you are really worried about what the prime minister will do, then follow and watch." ”

"Otherwise, call a few more people to give you courage."

The little official knew that he couldn't stop him, even if Shang Shu came, he couldn't stop this Qiao Xiang.

He could only accept Qiao Zhongtian's proposal, and found a few more people to accompany Qiao Zhongtian and his son.

Although Qiao Wanshu had already reminded her that the remaining gold was in the tunnel in the rockery, she couldn't just go straight there.

Qiao Zhongtian first went to the treasury where the gold was stored.

It's heavily guarded, and it's as good as the prison.

He inspected the structure of the storeroom, the structural drawings, and the location of the stolen gold.

The floor seems to have been renovated, and if you look closely, there is a slight difference in color from the side.

When a whole box of gold is stolen, there will inevitably be traces of towing on the ground.

And the difference in the color of the ground just confirmed Qiao Zhongtian's conjecture.

He didn't stay quiet, but said directly to Qiao Jingchen: "Go and bring two teams of people to protect the scene!" ”

When several officials accompanying the household department heard this, their faces suddenly changed drastically, and they came out to stop them: "Qiao Xiang, this is not in accordance with the rules!" This case has been submitted to Dali Temple, even if you want to review the household department, it should be from Dali Temple. ”

Qiao Zhongtian snorted coldly: "You can also call the people from Dali Temple to come over." They want to protect the site, and so does the real thing. ”

"Finding criminals requires evidence, but doesn't it need to prove one's innocence? The three sons of Benxiang were miserably wronged, could it be that Benxiang wanted to wash away his grievances for him, and he was also guilty? ”

Those officials had no choice but to let Qiao Jingchen leave.

Not long after, someone from Dali Temple came and the private soldiers of the Prime Minister transferred by Qiao Jingchen met at the door.

The leader is a Shaoqing surnamed Liu in Dali Temple.

The more Qiao Jing avoided suspicion, Liu Zhan was recuperating at home, and this hot errand fell on Liu Shaoqing.

Qiao Zhongtian didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly pointed to the traces on the ground and said, "Come and see, this place has obviously been renovated in the later stage." In order to cover up the trail of dragging. ”

"It is absolutely impossible for one person to move all twenty-five boxes of gold, even if there are many people, it will inevitably make a noise, and it is impossible to do it without a trace."

"So the gold must still be hidden somewhere in the household, waiting for the limelight to be less and then slowly transferred."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the Lang Zhong in the household department shouted excitedly: "Qiao Xiangye, what do you mean by this?" Are we saying that we are self-thieves? ”

Qiao Zhongtian glanced at him and said coldly: "What are you excited about, the prime minister is analyzing the case, could it be that the prime minister is right?" ”

Liu Shaoqing checked the ground, and sure enough, there were traces that had been covered, and it was really difficult to detect if he didn't look carefully.

Then he said to Qiao Zhongtian: "Then Qiao Xiang, where should the gold be hidden?" ”

This is tantamount to acquiescing to his speculation.

"Follow the traces, even if the box behind is lifted, the footprints of the person carrying the box will be deeper than usual."

"Moreover, there may be some unexpected corners that can hide gold."

As he spoke, he stared at the Tobe Langchu.

Sure enough, he saw the panic in his eyes that he was eager to hide.

All the foreshadowing has been prepared, and the people of Dali Temple are quietly led to the rockery, which is Qiao Jingchen's business.

As a young general who has experienced a hundred battles, he is very slippery about conspiracy and conspiracy, so he is naturally not a problem.

Soon, there was an exclamation from the rockery.

"There's a tunnel here!"

The rest is logical.

A mountain of chests was found in the tunnels, and inside they were stolen gold!

Qiao Zhongtian hugged Qiao Wanshu and watched the people of Dali Temple carry out the gold one by one, and suddenly the junior official who had stopped Qiao Jingchen came over and said to him deeply: "Qiao Xiang, just now the lower official was in a hurry, but I didn't know that you could really find the stolen gold." ”

"The lower official has a reluctant request, I wonder if you can agree?"

His request was to help the household department find out the real culprit of the theft, after all, in this way Qiao Jinghan could truly clear his grievances, which was also in line with the original intention of the Qiao family.

Qiao Wanshu hugged Qiao Zhongtian's neck and nodded.

[Dad, help him, help him!] This person is a good official who has never met talents, and it was only after Liu Zhan ascended the throne that he discovered this thousand-mile horse and promoted him to the head of the household. 】

[You have helped him now, maybe it can be used by our Qiao family!] 】

When Qiao Zhongtian heard this, he pretended to wait for a while before agreeing.

He instructed the private soldiers of the Qiao family to keep an eye on the scene, and no one was allowed to approach the "evidence" of these traces without authorization.

Then he took a son and a daughter back to Qiao's mansion.

"Dad, you said, now that we have found gold, we have already scared the snake, how can we find the real murderer next?"

Both of them glanced at Qiao Wanshu in unison.

The little girl who didn't notice anything yawned, but when she heard her eldest brother speak, she asked a question, and she responded in her heart.

[It's simple, I forgot what that person's surname is, it seems to be the surname Fu. 】

[But I remember that he liked a girl named Qiu Yu in Tianxianglou.] If you go fast now, maybe you can catch it, and then how will you torture it...... It's up to you. 】

[However, you have to hurry up while the news hasn't passed.] After all, he hadn't been caught before. 】
