"Wu, Wu's mother, then, then we'll leave. Zhou Ling's face was flushed with alcohol, and he staggered when he walked, and with his left hand, he put An Dafang's right arm, who was already foaming at the mouth, on his neck, and waved to a small man with his right hand: "Go find us a carriage." ”

"Chief An, Zhou Lawyer, the two of you are good, come back to play when you have time. Mother Wu sent the two of them out of the orchid room with a smile on her face, and then returned the same way, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.

I only heard a "boom", and the rockery in the orchid room suddenly split into two halves and moved to the left and right, and even the water left on the rockery seemed to be separated by a barrier, revealing a passage one person wide.

"Are they all gone?" Lu Wei, dressed in brocade clothes, walked out of the passage, and the originally open passage closed automatically.

"Boss, is it too risky to show the two of them the account books?" Wu Ma completely lost the charm when greeting guests, and instead stood with her hands down, respectfully: "The stammering lawyer is a difficult character. ”

"Mother Wu, don't just look at the surface, although the head of the guard seems to be stunned, we can't despise it. Lu Wei's fat body was staggering when he walked, he slowly sat on the futon that was originally sitting on the large defense, picked up the wine bottle and smelled it: "These two are really blessed, they can drink the Yuquan brew treasured in this workshop." ”

"Are we going to 。。。。。。 Before Wu's mother finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Wei stretching out her hand: "Our music shop is doing business seriously, and we cooperate with the investigation in accordance with the law and law, what are the risks? ”

"Yes! Mother Wu nodded.

After Liu Ningshi and Ghost Face went out on a business trip, they went around in the household department, and then found no useful clues.

"It's getting late, so we'll take our leave. Ghost Face and Liu Ningshi unconsciously returned to the entrance of the household again, and took advantage of the situation to leave.

"The little one was sent here. Li Chuan bowed and said.

The two walked out of the door of the household, Liu Ningshi was about to speak, the ghost shook his head at her to stop her, and suddenly, the ghost face stepped a little and turned on the roof of the house opposite the household, Liu Ningshi also tapped her feet when she saw this, and followed up.

"Speak here, not afraid of the wall and ears. The ghost face looked down and confirmed that there was no third ear, so he was relieved.

"Brother Ren, although that Sha Da is dissatisfied with our investigation on the surface, how do I think that the last sentence he said is reminding us?" Liu Ningshi stroked the jade pendant and thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that this Sha Da is the person who secretly helped the fat brother?"

"I also feel the same way, he seems to be telling us to check the shop that makes tax cards and errand clothes? Otherwise, as the left waiter of his household department, do you still need to explain this kind of thing to a messenger?"

"Brother Ren, what should we do next? Go check the shops?" Suddenly, a snow-white carrier pigeon flew down on Liu Ningshi's shoulder in a white light in the dark night.

"This is Brother Xiangyun's flying pigeon biography?" Liu Ningshi stroked the pigeon's head a few times, took off the letter and released the pigeon back into the air.

"These fake tax collectors have fraudulently collected so much silver, so they must have to find a way to transport it out of the city?" Liu Ningshi looked at Tong Bo's flying pigeon and passed the book, and her heart understood.

"Yes, for they have collected only loose pieces of silver, and they have a great amount, and if they had been shipped out directly, they would have been very attractive. Ghost Face also understood what Tong Bo meant: "Then the remaining possibility is to go to the money bank to redeem the silver ticket." ”

"Then should we go to Qianzhuang to investigate?" Liu Ningshi's internal force moved, and she destroyed the letter and scattered it in the air.

"No, Xiangyun should check on the money bank. Ghost Face pondered for a moment and asked, "Miss Liu still remembers what Li Chuan said?"

"What words?" Liu Ningshi did not understand the meaning.

Li Chuan said that shops with backgrounds and influences will carefully check official documents and tax cards. A smile flashed at the corner of the ghost's mouth: "And the official seal of the household department on the official document is not something that ordinary people can distinguish the authenticity, so the tax card has become the focus of their inspection." ”

Ning Shi understood. Liu Ningshi nodded after listening to the ghost face's words: "Then let's go check the shop that makes tax cards and see what clues there are." ”

"Not bad. Ghost Face looked into the distance: "Let's go to the Pangu blacksmith shop first." ”

The lights in the hall had long been extinguished, and Xiao Shiyu was lying on his back on the dragon couch, holding his head with one hand, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, in the darkness, a black shadow entered through the secret door of the Negative Pole Palace, knelt in front of the dragon couch, and made a gesture towards Xiao Shiyu.

"Kui Niu, what's the situation?" Xiao Shiyu couldn't hold back his anxiousness anymore, and sat up with a grunt.

"According to His Majesty's orders, all the secret guards have been dispatched to guard the exits of the city, and no one has been found to carry silver out of the city?"

"That's good!" Xiao Shiyu's heart let go of half of it: "Kui Niu, as long as you keep this silver and don't leave the city, it will be a great achievement; ”

"Yes! I will definitely make sure that those people and thieves can't get out of Jinling City. The man in the suit flashed and left through the secret door.

"An Dafang, Zhishan, don't disappoint me. Xiao Shiyu's taut strings gradually relaxed, and he slowly closed his eyes.

The Sanshun Qianzhuang of Jinling City is adjacent to the Juyou Teahouse, the scale is twice as large as the Juyou Building, the gold-plated plaque of the "Sanshun Qianzhuang" written vertically on the door is magnificent, it is said that the current chief shopkeeper of the Qianzhuang Yin Tianfeng spent a lot of money to invite Zhang Hatyun to write and engrave.

The hall of Sanshun Qianzhuang is ten zhang long and five zhang wide, and six towering wooden counters are connected together, and the counters are tightly surrounded by wooden fences, and each counter only has a small window in the middle of the wooden fence; there is a long queue in front of each window, and the people at the end of the line are almost close to the wall.

There are three or five small round tables on the left and right sides of the hall, and some guests who can't line up for the time being can only sit at the tables and talk to each other to pass the time.

"Hmph! This Sanshun Qianzhuang is really magnificent. The moment An Dafang, who was dressed in a guard suit, stepped into the bank, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"These three and three Shun money villages are not, I don't know what the back and background are, they live in Jinling City, and they are actually able to beat the Su family's Guang and Guangyuan money villages, and even the fire seal silver of the official family can only be exclusively printed and exchanged by it. Zhou Ling, who was behind An Da's defense, whispered in his ear.

"My lord, I don't know why I came to the Despicable Money Village?" a young man with luxurious clothes and a handsome face stepped forward to greet him.

"You're in charge here?" An Dafang looked arrogant: "I am Chang'an Dafang, the guard of the Xuanwu Academy of the Jingwei Mansion, and I was ordered to come here to investigate the case of the fake tax officer. ”

"Oh! It turned out to be Master An of the Xuanwu Academy of Jingwei Mansion, what a disrespectful and disrespectful person!" The young man said with a frightened face: "Our money village is doing business in a proper manner, and it has nothing to do with those fake tax collectors." ”

"Ann, the chief of security didn't say that your money and money bank have anything to do with fake tax collectors. Zhou Ling took over the conversation: "It's just that I need you to cooperate with the investigation." ”

"We have also heard about the fake tax collector, and it is also the duty of our Sanshun Qianzhuang to cooperate with the imperial court to investigate the case. The young man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his face was full of smiles: "Two adults, please speak in the inner hall." ”

There was a lot of hustle and bustle in the lower rooms in the back hall of Qianzhuang, and those who served tea and poured water, and those who took and gave things were all very busy.

"There are two distinguished guests in the inner hall who need to serve tea, wrinkled the sixth, you can arrange it. A fat steward shouted.

"Alright, housekeeper. The subordinate who called the wrinkled old six responded attentively.

"Shoko, give you a chance to open your eyes. The wrinkled old six handed over a tray with a brown long-spouted teapot and two brown cups to a servant in cloth clothes and hats: "This is a rare opportunity to go to the inner hall to serve distinguished guests." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Six, for your support. "This subordinate is Tong Bo in disguise, he only spent a little money to buy off the money village steward and blended into the subordinate pile, and quickly got into a fight with this old senior.

In the inner hall of Sanshun, Zhou Ling was looking at the account books of Sanshun Qianzhuang for nearly a month: "This, this Li Rat's household, where is the one thousand taels of silver in the account, where did it come from?"

"My lord, this man himself deposited the money in the ark. The young man in Chinese costume accompanied him with a smiling face: "As for the source of the silver, it is not convenient for us to ask." ”

"You won't give us a fake ledger for us to see, right?" An Dafang suddenly asked: "There is no large amount of silver deposited in the near future?"

"My lord, look at what you said. The young man in Huafu said with a smile: "There are three account clerks in the account books of Sanshun Qianzhuang who are jointly responsible for the revision of the account books, two are responsible for keeping and one is responsible for reviewing. ”

"Money shopkeeper, the little one was ordered to come and serve tea. Outside the door of the inner hall, Tong Bo's report came from outside.

"Come in. As the voice of the young man in Chinese clothes fell, Tong Bo cautiously walked in with a tray, and he slowly put the two empty cups in front of An Dafang and Zhou Ling respectively, but his eyes kept glancing at the account book.

"What are you rubbing about, don't pour tea for the two adults. The young man in Huafu urged impatiently.

"Yes, the money shopkeeper! As he spoke, Tong Bo picked up the brown teapot, put one hand against the lid, and slowly poured out the Biluochun in the teapot with the other;

"When you're done, go out. You don't need to be here, clumsy. The impatient scolding of the young man in Chinese clothes sounded again.

"Yes, yes! The little one stepped back. Tong Bo pretended to be panicked, but in his heart he silently wrote down the account book he had just seen: "In the past three days, five people have deposited 2,000 taels of silver, and three of them are 1,000 taels; ”
