"If the money is really stolen by the spirits, the father will go and invite the master to come over and let the master come out. ”

Ronnie Lee said.

Li Xintian said again: "Dad, don't worry, this matter needs to be carefully investigated by the child for a few days, and after it is confirmed that it is really not human, it is not too late to invite the master to come forward." ”

"Well, according to what Tian'er said, this matter will be more troubled by Lao Wu'er. ”

Ronnie Lee still has a lot of trust in Li Xintian's ability.

"Yes, the child understands. ”

Li Xintian said.

Ronnie Lee added, "As for Steward Qian, if you put him in the firewood room before the matter is investigated, whether the matter is related to him or not, you can't get rid of the responsibility for dereliction of duty." After speaking, he glared at Steward Qian again.

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness, thank you, young master. ”

Steward Qian escaped with thirty sticks, and immediately kowtowed gratefully as if he had been amnestied.

"Take it down. ”

Ronnie Lee waved his hand.

The two housekeepers immediately drove the money and the housekeeper left immediately.

"Dad, this matter, without further ado, the child will start to do it, and ask the father to give the key to the warehouse to the child, and let the child go to the warehouse to investigate. ”

Li Xintian said.

"Tian'er does things, rest assured for my father. ”

Ronnie Lee took off a golden key from his neck and handed it over.

After Li Xintian took it, he immediately turned around and left.

Hu Qiuyan also hurriedly followed.

"Great young master. ”

When Li Xintian came to the door of the warehouse, there was a team of family members patrolling here.

"I'll go in and take a look, you continue to patrol, by the way, go and send a message to the black three in the county, let him inquire for me, which person in Shuiwen County within this month, which family is suddenly generous, and tell him that our Li family lost 10,000 taels of silver, if he can help our Li family find out, my Li family will give him a reward of 500 taels. ”

Li Xintian said to a family member.

Heisan is a well-known idler in Shuiwen County, a gangster, who gathers a group of people who have nothing to do on weekdays, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble.

However, such people are exceptionally well-informed, they know anything that happens in the county, and the Li family often asks them to inquire about the news, and they are familiar with each other, and Hei San is also willing to do things for the Li family, after all, they can get a lot of money every time.

"Yes, the eldest young master, the little one will do it. As soon as one of the family members gave up his hand, he immediately left.

After Li Xintian finished instructing, he took Hu Qiuyan into the warehouse.

After opening the door of the storehouse with a golden key, taking a fire fold and lighting the oil lamp, the dark storeroom was clearly visible.

"Xintian, isn't this a warehouse, why is there nothing, it's dark everywhere. ”

Hu Qiuyan asked.

Li Xintian said with a smile: "The treasury is divided into inner and outer warehouses, here is the inner warehouse, the Li family's family is all here, and the inside is the outer warehouse, stacked with some gold, silver, and copper coins. ”

"How can the inner library be on the outside and the outer library on the inside. ”

Hu Qiuyan was curious.

Li Xintian pointed to his feet and said, "I saw that there were no floor tiles under my feet." ”

"See, it's pitch black. ”

Hu Qiuyan said.

"It's not a floor tile, it's a gold brick, it's just a layer of black paint, and there are three layers of gold bricks. ”

Li Xintian said with a smile, and pointed to the stones that looked like winter melons piled up under the corners of the walls on the left and right: "Those big winter melons are not stones, under the wall on the left are gold, and on the right are silver, each of which weighs a thousand catties. ”

"And even if the thieves find out, the gold and silver winter melons weighing thousands of catties, they can't move them, so they can only stay here. ”

Hu Qiuyan's eyes widened, feeling incredible.

The huge black stone was actually made of gold and silver, and the floor tiles under his feet were also made of gold, how much was it worth?

Not to mention that Hu Qiuyan was surprised, even Li Xintian was surprised at the beginning, he didn't expect that the anti-theft technology of this rich and noble family in ancient times was so arrogant, casting gold and silver into big winter melons, even if you know that this thing is valuable, you can't take it away, you can only sigh with joy.

However, such anti-theft technology cannot be done without a certain family background.

"This is the secret of the Li family, only my father and mother know it, you are the third one to know, and even my brother doesn't know it. ”

Li Xintian said, and then entered the outer warehouse.

Hu Qiuyan's heart warmed when she heard this, as if she had eaten candied fruit, but she didn't expect Li Xintian to trust her so much.

Li Xintian felt that it didn't matter, since he was the person he wanted to marry, then he would be his own person in the future, and there was no need to hide this matter, and it was ugly to say, if Hu Qiuyan was greedy for money and ran away one day, here are gold bricks, silver winter melons, how much can she take away with a demon fox?

And the house is so heavily defended.

It's like everyone knows that the bank has money, but who dares to take it?

It's different when you get to the outer library, here a large box is neatly placed in front of you, the box is opened, it contains a large number of copper coins and silver ingots, the light shines, and the people who are shaking are a little unable to open their eyes.

However, although the money inside is very tempting, the value is actually not as great as the gold bricks and gold and silver winter melons outside, but it makes people mistakenly think that this is the real savings of the Li family, where the real treasury is.

As everyone knows, the three generations of the Li family have been extremely wealthy, and they have accumulated so much money.

If it weren't for Li Xintian's use of a lot in the past ten years, investing in horse farms, dart shops, farms, and even more than that.

"Is that the lost 10,000 taels of silver?"

Suddenly, he saw that the chest was empty, and the silver inside was gone.

It is impossible to keep empty chests in the treasury, and each chest is full of silver and copper coins, so at a glance you can tell which chest is missing money and which is not the right number.

Placing an empty box here in such a fair and open manner is absolutely not done by the money steward.

There is a way to be a thief, if it is really done by the money housekeeper, then this empty box will definitely not be placed here, so eye-catching, as long as his father Ronnie Lee comes in to check, he will immediately find out.

Seeing this empty big box, Li Xintian knew that it was definitely not the money steward who took the silver taels inside, it was definitely a demon and a monster.

Of course, it is also possible that some cultivators have used their means.

However, the possibility of being a cultivator is very rare, and the most taboo thing for a cultivator is cause and effect, as if he didn't ask for himself, he took 10,000 taels of silver, and among the cause and effect, it was enough to ruin his path of cultivation, so it was definitely not a cultivator.

"Let's take a look around. ”

Li Xintian held a lantern and patrolled around the warehouse.

Let's see if we can find any clues.

"Xintian, it's gloomy here, and I'm a little scared in my heart, so let's get out quickly. ”

Hu Qiuyan said with some fear.

Li Xintian said: "Wait and leave, let me investigate first." ”

After he walked around here, he didn't find any clues, everything was normal, and he didn't find any clues.

In this way, it seems that the loss of 10,000 taels of silver is likely to be the work of ghosts.

Only ghosts can pass through walls freely, and they can easily take away silver taels.

"It seems that we have to let Hei San investigate well. ”

Li Xintian shook his head slightly, planning to take the time to visit Shuiwen County in person.

"Let's go, let's get out of here. ”

Just as Li Xintian was about to leave with Hu Qiuyan, suddenly there was a squeaky sound in the warehouse behind him.

It's a mouse.

There will be rats in the storeroom.

You must know that the Li family's treasury was built very hard, the walls around it were made of large bluestone, and the soil used to build the wall was also made of clay mixed with glutinous rice, fish glue and other materials.

But there must be demons when it is abnormal.

Li Xintian immediately turned around and returned to the warehouse to take a look.

At this time he saw a white-haired mouse, who was crawling onto a box, picking up a silver ingot and stuffing it into his mouth.

There is a silver ingot the size of an adult's palm, and it was actually stuffed into the stomach by this mouse, and looking at the mouse's stomach there is no sign of bulging, it is still very flat, the mouse does not seem to be enjoying it, and continues to hold the silver ingot and eat, after eating a full three ingots, he became a little alert, and his head turned to see Li Xintian striding over.

"Squeak~!"

The white mouse immediately screamed, jumped down from the box, and then quickly ran away along the corner, and finally lowered its head and burrowed into a crack in the stone that was only the thickness of a finger.

Such a small gap was actually drilled into by the white mouse, and it soon disappeared.

When Li Xintian arrived, he happened to see one of the rat's tails disappearing into the crack in the stone, and he couldn't catch the mouse.

"This rat is a sperm. ”

Li Xintian's first concern was not that he had lost three ingots of silver, but that he was more concerned about the white mouse itself.

Obviously, being able to eat a silver ingot as big as his own body in one go, and being able to get into such a small stone crevice, is definitely not something that ordinary rats can do, it must be a monster with Taoism.

"This white rat will have at least one or two hundred years of Taoism, but even if there is Taoism, the white rat has not turned into a human form, and should not know the use of silver, for it silver is a stone, it cannot be eaten, and it cannot be used as garbage, so it must not steal my family's silver for its own use, but for others to steal, only people know the benefits of gold and silver. ”

Li Xintian groaned.

I think there is someone behind this white rat, or someone is pointing it out.

However, stealing is such a thing, and the cultivator will commit cause and effect, and it must not be done by the cultivator.

So who instructed the mouse?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xintian decided to investigate it well, but this investigation locked the murderer.

It's not the money steward, it's the white mouse.

Mice are the best at making holes, and the mice with Taoism are even better, and the bluestone cracks can be drilled a little bit, and it is true that only heterogeneous people can do it.

"Let's get out of here. ”

Li Xintian gave an order and quickly left the warehouse with Hu Qiuyan.

After he returned, he roughly told his fathers Ronnie Lee and Chen Shuxia about such things.

Li Qizong's eyes widened suddenly: "There is such a thing, my Li family's tens of thousands of taels of silver were actually stolen by a white mouse." ”

"Yes father, the child saw with his own eyes, the white rat swallowed three ingots of silver in a row, his abdomen did not distend, and he could escape by burrowing into the cracks in the stones. Li Xintian said: "There is no doubt about such ability, that rat has a spirit of Taoism, and he was targeted by such a spirit in the treasury, not to mention tens of thousands of taels, and all the money in our Li family's treasury at that time was also emptied, so the money steward was innocent." ”

"Then, what now?" Li Qizong was a little uncertain for a while: "Since it is a monster making trouble, let's go and invite the Taoist master to come to the house to catch demons." ”

"Now it is imperative to seal the stone crack in the treasury, lest the silver be lost again, and as for the money steward, let him out, and give him a sum of silver so that he will go to retirement." ”

Li Xintian said.

"The stone crack is easy to do, but the money steward is innocent, he should apologize for his father, and then ask him to continue to manage the money treasury, why should he fire the money steward. ”

Ronnie Lee said suspiciously.

Li Xintian said: "After this incident, Steward Qian's loyalty must have been shaken, and I am afraid that it is no longer safe to let him be in charge of the treasury, and Steward Qian is not too young, so let him return to his hometown and enjoy his old age in peace." ”

"Hehe, Tian'er is worthy of being a seven-trick exquisite heart in the world, with a delicate mind, insight into people's hearts, and such sophistication in handling things, but he is very pleased to be a father......"

Li Qizong said, but then he saw Hu Qiuyan behind Li Xintian, and he couldn't help but stop immediately.

"Ahem, the matter of the money steward has been resolved, but the matter of the money treasury is still not at ease for the father, the stone crack is easy to do, but what if the white mouse comes again?"

"You should have a cat at home, and if you have a cat patrolling the storeroom, you can rest easy. ”

Li Xintian said.

Ronnie Lee's eyes immediately lit up: "Reasonable, reasonable, mice are most afraid of cats." ”

"But the idle cat can't cure the mouse with the Tao, and the child needs to prepare. ”

Li Xintian said with his hand, and then left again.
