Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss

Sun He grabbed the starling who was covered by the soul arresting net, his hands were trembling.She trembled, and the starling yelled, 'I died so badly'.

"It turns out that the ghost cry is the starling cry!"

Sun He was angry.

"I thought this time it wasn't some kind of weird noise. It was obviously someone talking, and it was erratic. It must be a ghost! If I had known it was mynah, why would I have rode back to Chenliu all night to do something? Hunhunwang, I can just buy a fishing net at the street corner.”

"I told you earlier, you don't need to spend money on it." Su Yuan sighed helplessly.

Thinking of the public funds that Sun He used to buy talisman paper, chicken heads and other things, it could have bought two whole sheep to eat, and Su Yuan was in pain.

Sun He lowered her head in embarrassment, and then she thought of something, and raised her head again: "What about the ghost? The ghost that the craftsmen saw, it can't be a starling, right? It's only such a small one!"

Sun He took advantage of the situation and picked up the starling.

The starling was dissatisfied with flapping wings, "I died so badly!"

"You're alive, why are you dead? On the contrary, I was deceived so badly by you!" Sun He yelled at the starling angrily.

When Bai Yutang came back, he saw Sun He fighting with a starling caught in a fishing net.Most of the time when she scolded, the starling remained silent and did not respond. When Sun He finally vented his anger and was about to calm down, the starling suddenly said, "I died a terrible death", which aroused Sun He's anger again.

Bai Yutang handed the spring rolls in the food box to Su Yuan, and told her that the three layers in the food box were fried spring rolls stuffed with dried tofu, crab meat and sweet-scented osmanthus bean paste.

It sounds like the three flavors of fragrant, fresh and sweet are complete, and it will definitely be a real treat.

The skin of the spring rolls is fried to brown and crispy, and you will hear the crisp sound of "click" when you bite the first bite. The three different flavors of spring rolls have their own characteristics. The filling is tender and delicious, and the osmanthus bean paste filling is sweet and delicious.

It was probably because Bai Yutang was picky and tasteful when it came to eating, so the three flavors of fried spring rolls he bought tasted impeccable, and they were all in line with Su Yuan's wishes.

"Well--"

Sun He was still annoyed with the mynah, but after she stuffed the spring rolls from Su Yuan into the entrance, she immediately forgot about mynah in pleasant surprise, and concentrated on eating the spring rolls happily.

First, two bites of meat stuffing, satisfying the enjoyment of the aroma of meat, and then a bite of sweet-scented osmanthus bean paste filling, which is sweet and pleasant to eat, and then a bite of fresh crab meat stuffing, which is completely different from the first two. Delicious and tender taste... The impact on the taste buds brought by the three different flavors makes people feel very satisfied.

too delicious!

After Sun He ate the last spring roll stuffed with red bean paste, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.There is still a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the mouth, and there is still something to say.

"Let's go back after eating." Su Yuan said.

"Huh? Didn't you catch that ghost? Maybe the bird is just a coincidence, and the ghost is the real ghost." Sun He was full of food and drink, and became energetic again.

"I think it's unlikely that ghosts will appear. If you want to stay here and guard, then you can stay by yourself. I can go back to sleep." Su Yuan yawned.

"Then I'll go back too!" Sun He said without hesitation.

According to the conclusion of experience, those who believe in the boss never suffer, but when she insists on following her own ideas, she wastes money and energy, and ends up getting nothing.

Of course, it cannot be said that nothing has been fished at all.

Sun He looked down at the starling that was covered by a net, and she caught a bird.

"Go and get a cage for it." Su Yuan said.

"Ah, do you still need it?" Sun He still thought about plucking the feathers of this irritating bird, roasting it and eating it.

"This bird is not bad, it can be of great use." Su Yuan smiled and glanced at mynah. "Besides, it is an important witness and needs to wait for trial."

The starling seemed to feel that he was being talked about, turned his head, and glanced in the direction of Su Yuan.

"Okay, I'll get a cage." Sun He left first.

But when she walked to the street market, Sun He realized and left by herself, wouldn't it be Su Yuan and Bai Yutang left?Will these two go sweetly while she is away?

Sun He quickly got the cage, and quickly chased the two of them.

She is going to secretly watch handsome men and beautiful women.

Sun He ran all the way to West Street, and finally met them on the last street before arriving at Kaifeng Mansion.

Because I know that these two characters are both highly skilled in martial arts and have keen senses.Sun He purposely kept his distance and lowered his footsteps.

I saw the backs of the two in front, one was slender and the other was slender and slim, keeping a little distance, walking side by side.

For the time being, there is no surprising move, which really makes people worry for them.

But as they were walking, the two of them stopped suddenly. The tall fifth master Bai looked sideways at the slender boss. The boss raised his head slightly and looked at him too.

Come closer!Come closer!

Exciting times are coming——

"I died a terrible death!"

Mynah's loud cry pierced the silent night sky.

Sun He, who was sticking to the corner secretly and excitedly: "..."

When will this broken bird die, she must give it a ride!

Sun He didn't have the guts to stand up bravely for a while, she was so scared that she wanted to squeeze herself into the wall so that no one could see her.

The two figures over there didn't react at all, they just didn't stay any longer, and still walked to Kaifeng mansion according to the previous pace.

Sun He, who was not immediately scolded by Su Yuan, suddenly felt that something was missing.With an idea, she appeared as if she had just caught up with the two of them.

"Boss, fifth master Bai, finally told me to catch up with you!" Sun He ran towards the two of them with a smile on his back while carrying the birdcage.

The moment she was about to approach them, both of them suddenly turned their heads at the same time, with white faces and fangs, horrifying—

Sun He screamed in fright and sat down on the ground.

"I died a terrible death!"

The starling in the cage also jolted a little bit, and let out a cry of dissatisfaction.

Both Su Yuan and Bai Yutang took off the masks on their faces.

She held up the fire folder in her hand and squatted in front of Sun He, the fire just happened to illuminate her face from bottom to top.Even though her facial features are good-looking, this way of looking at her is still a bit scary.

Sun He regained his strength and took a deep breath, "You guys scared me to death!"

"You don't have to thank me, you're welcome." Su Yuan reached out and pulled Sun He up.

"Thank you? Why do you want to thank you? I was almost scared to death by the two of you!" Sun He complained aggrievedly.

"Don't you want to see a ghost? We have fulfilled your wish. Look at your prospects, a mask can scare you into such a state." Su Yuan said.

"That's different. I'm ready when I want to see a ghost. When I came to chase Boss and Fifth Lord Bai just now, I didn't expect you two to change into this sudden appearance. Naturally, I would be frightened."

Sun He patted his chest, sighing that he was overly frightened, and asked Su Yuan to be responsible, making her a bowl of haggis soup to calm down the fright.

"Don't do it, you deserve it." Su Yuan smiled.

Sun He was puzzled: "Why do I deserve it?"

"Peeping." Bai Yutang said two words in a cold voice.

Sun He immediately shut up, holding the bird basket obediently, and then pointed in the direction of Kaifeng Mansion, indicating that he was sleepy, so he went back first.After speaking, without waiting for Su Yuan and Bai Yutang to answer, she ran away in a hurry, not daring to stay for a moment.

"So it is feasible to use a mask to scare people at night, not to mention that Zhuqian Dongsuo has rumors of being haunted. If someone wears this mask and appears at night, it will definitely scare others more easily."

Su Yuan fiddled with the mask in his hand, summarizing the results of their experiment just now.

"So the rumored ghost with white-faced fangs is actually man-made?"

Bao Zheng took the mask from Bai Yutang, looked at it for a while, and praised the two for their thorough investigation.

The two of them were only assigned to interrogate the craftsmen, but they not only solved the mystery of Zhu Qiandong's ghost call, but also made a convincing speculation about the existence of ghost shadows.

"If the artisans who resigned did not participate in the gold storage, more than 1% of the [-] taels of gold may still be in the Qianjian." Gongsun Ce said to Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, "Wait and see what the investigation results of the other two teams are."

After Wang Chao and others dug Wang's family three feet into the ground, they came to report to Bao Zheng that Wang Shuisheng's family did not hide a single piece of gold.And after several times of intimidation and torture, it can be basically concluded that his parents, wife and children are also unaware of this matter.

There was also news from Zhan Zhao.

He conducted an investigation on the craftsmen and officials who stayed in the money casting office between the third quarter of the unitary hour and the hour of the day of Haishi on the night of the incident.

Zhan Zhao first handed over a list: "These are the lists of the craftsmen who worked that night. Most of them can prove to each other that they did not leave during the time period when Wang Shuisheng was killed. The rest were investigated, and only one named The craftsmen in Qu'an may know how to use acupuncture points. His father was a doctor in the village, but his medical skills are not very good, and he can treat people with some simple earth methods. But he is familiar with Fengfu point, and he should be able to do it with acupuncture points. arrive."

Then, Zhan Zhao handed over the second list.

"These are the lists of the officials who were on duty that night. There were two chief bookkeepers and three stewards. Only one steward named Chang Lin was found who knew medical skills. His father-in-law is a doctor, and there is a pharmacy in Tokyo, and his wife is a female doctor." , specially treating women, he learned acupuncture and moxibustion from his wife and father-in-law, and he is proficient in acupoints."

"I remember Qu An. I asked him for his statement. He had a good relationship with the deceased Wang Shuisheng. He told me that Wang Shuisheng was in good spirits and wanted to quit his job and move." Su Yuan said.

"Wang Shuisheng was suddenly stabbed in the neck by the people around him and pushed into the furnace without any precautions. But if he was prepared and resisted, the murderer would not be able to hit him with a single needle, and there would be a commotion to confuse outsiders." People notice."

Wang Chao felt that the possibility that this close and trusted person committed the crime was very high, and immediately stated that Qu An was the most suspected.

"However, for such a big matter as mixing copper into gold, if there is no one in charge, how can you be so bold with only two craftsmen? And how to hide the 1 taels of gold that was corrupted? I think at least three or five people are needed to help." OK." Zhan Zhao expressed his thoughts.

Wang Chao nodded, feeling that what Zhan Zhao said was quite reasonable.

"Actually, there was one person left unchecked. Jin Decai, the supervisor of Qian, was also there that night." Su Yuan added.

Zhan Zhao was stunned, "But Jin Decai's name was not in the list they gave me."

Su Yuan explained: "I heard with my own ears the craftsmen talking about it while they were waiting for their statements. Jin Decai spoke to them in public that night because Jin Decai couldn't work at the Qiandongsuo, urging them to hurry up.

Probably because he left after a few instructions, and because she was the biggest official in charge of Qianjian, the person who provided the duty list forgot to include him. "

Dynasty, who was in charge of recording the statement at the time, suddenly remembered after hearing Su Yuan's mention, "I seem to have heard it too, there is such a thing."

"Then add Jin Decai." Bao Zheng ordered, "Try Qu An first, no matter whether Qu An is involved in the case or not, as long as his situation is confirmed, it will be easy to investigate the situation of the remaining five officials and Jin Decai .”

After Wang Chao came out from Mr. Bao, he still scratched his head in confusion. He didn't understand the meaning of Mr. Bao's last sentence.

"What do you mean by 'whether Qu An participates in the case or not, as long as his situation is confirmed, the rest of the officials will be able to investigate'?" Wang Chao asked Zhan Zhao to clarify his doubts.

Zhan Zhao turned around and asked Wang Chao: "Didn't you understand? Then you kept nodding just now?"

Wang Chao was stunned, "I don't... I don't want to make myself look too stupid in front of Mr. Bao!"

"I don't know either." Zhan Zhao thought Wang Chao understood it, but he didn't, so he just asked him when he came out, so there was no need to waste Mr. Bao's time.

dynasty:"……"

Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu hurriedly gave Wang Chao a wink, telling him to ask Su Yuan and Bai Yutang, one of them should understand.

Bai Yutang didn't speak after hearing their questions, but just looked at Su Yuan.

So Wang Chao and other four people, together with Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, looked around the Su Garden, waiting for the grand scene of the answer.

"It's very simple. There's nothing you don't understand. If you're convicted, it's one way of investigation; if you're not convicted, it's another way."

"Little ancestor, it's the same as if you didn't say it." Wang Chao complained.

"But the facts are exactly what I said." Su Yuan shrugged innocently.

Wang Chao and the others sighed twice, sighing that Su Yuan must not understand, but he still pretended to understand to fool everyone.

"Little girl has learned to be naughty!"

"It's good to see us."

"Don't make things difficult for her, even Lord Zhan didn't understand."

……

Bai Yutang listened to their discussion with a cold expression on his face, he turned to look at Su Yuan.Seeing that Su Yuan was taking out a small handful of spiced hazelnuts from his cloth pocket, he gave half a handful to Bai Yutang when everyone was not paying attention.

Bai Yutang looked at the milky white hazelnut that had been peeled clean in his palm, and couldn't help but look tenderly.

"You don't explain to them?"

"What to explain, I can't explain it myself. But this sentence is definitely useful, and when the case is over, they must think more about it and feel more reasonable."

Now due to lack of evidence, all speculations are based on assumptions, so many possibilities must be carefully considered. If these assumptions, speculations and possibilities are explained, it will not only be a waste of time, but it will easily confuse people up.

It's better to wait for the investigation of the case to reveal the truth, and let them suddenly realize it. At that time, they might still feel the incisive words she once said.

"I learned this trick from a Taoist priest. If you speak specious words, it is easier for people to confirm it after the fact. Let's wait and see." Su Yuan whispered to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang couldn't help chuckling, he found that Su Yuan was always more cunning and shrewd than he imagined.It seems that every time I worry about her, it is unnecessary?

"I think this case would be a formidable one if Jin Decai guarded against it, and everyone would be astounded if it was revealed." Zhao Hu sighed.

Wang Chao: "At present, these people are all suspected. You shouldn't just point to one person."

"I think, if all of them are involved, how would such a heavy amount of gold be transported out? This is truly astounding." Ma Han added a word of confusion.

"It makes sense. If all these people are involved, this case will definitely cause a great sensation." Zhang Long hurriedly echoed.

"How many suspects should have been counted based on how sensational they are? We must speak according to the evidence, and investigate them all!"

Gongsun Ce walked out, heard Wang Chao and the others chatting, and sent them to work quickly.If Mr. Bao heard such gossip, he would have to reprimand them.

"Find out the evidence early, make the case clear, and everyone can celebrate with a feast earlier."

When Wang Chao and the others heard this, they missed the peerless delicacies made by Su Yuan, and immediately got excited. They immediately assigned clear tasks and went to work separately.

Zhan Zhaolai was in charge of Qu'an's interrogation, assisted by Su Yuan and Bai Yutang.The main task of the three of them is to identify whether Qu An is suspected of lying.

"The villain does know where the Fengfu acupoint is, because the villain's father is a doctor. The villain has been with his father since he was a child, and he will know it after watching and listening a lot. But the villain has felt the smell of medicine since he was a child I have a headache, and I have never learned medical skills from my father, let alone acupuncture, and have given acupuncture to anyone. The villain's elder brother has learned these things from the villain's father, and now he stays in the village, treating patients like his father.

As early as ten years ago, that is, when the villain was 13 years old, he left the village with his second uncle and came to Tokyo to make a living. When he happened to meet the Ministry of Households to recruit workers, the villain came to be an apprentice, and gradually learned how to do it. , became a craftsman who cast money.From then to now, it has been ten years. Apart from making money and doing some rough work at home, the villain's hands have never touched a needle. Not to mention that there is no silver needle in the villain's house, even the embroidery needle villain never never touched. "

Qu An immediately stated that he was willing to swear on his life and any conditions.Because he really didn't do this, he has a clear conscience, and he is not afraid that God will retaliate against him.

Zhan Zhao sneered: "Swear this kind of thing can be avoided, I have seen other suspects swear like you before, and I was almost deceived by his 'sincere' words at that time. Today, the evidence of his murder will be conclusive."

Hearing this, Qu An felt displeased, kowtowed to Zhan Zhao and said, "But the villain is really wronged! These years, the villain has only been doing money making work peacefully in Qianjian. I don’t even think about it. Don’t talk about gold, even a penny of copper money is not even dared to be touched by a villain. If you take this money, it will kill you!”

After the interrogation, Zhan Zhao asked Su Yuan and Bai Yutang what they thought, "Is this Qu An lying?"

"I don't think so." After Su Yuan answered, he and Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, waiting for his judgment.

In fact, Bai Yutang is very good at judging whether he is lying or not.There are many reckless men who are not afraid of anything in the rivers and lakes. After doing bad things, they will not admit it.But these people fell into Bai Yutang's hands, and within a day they were tortured and confessed their crimes obediently.So when it comes to judging whether a person is lying, Bai Yutang has his own method.

Bai Yutang nodded, agreeing with Su Yuan's judgment, but out of caution, he made a suggestion: "If he is really good at medicine, he would definitely not be able to hide it when he was in the village before. At the age of 13, he is just too young to know." To hide his age, just send someone to his hometown to check."

Zhan Zhao agreed, and followed Bai Yutang's suggestion.

"Then shall we proceed with the investigation based on Qu An's innocence?" After learning the judgment of the three of them, Gongsun Ce checked Qu An's situation and felt the possibility of him lying. Not high, so I went to ask Bao Zheng for his opinion.

After Bao Zheng heard the result, his complexion became heavy.

"What do you think is the most important aspect of this current case?" Bao Zheng asked Su Yuan, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao.

The three looked at each other and agreed on the answer.

Zhan Zhao then told Bao Zheng that the most important thing was the 1 taels of gold whose location was unknown.

"That's right, it's the 1 taels of gold." Bao Zheng sighed, "Now we're checking this person, that person, and checking and checking, and we have nothing to do except to confirm that the deceased Wang Shuisheng has something to do with the gold case." The conclusive evidence obtained, especially the 1 taels of gold that is the most critical in this case. The gold is not there, and it cannot be connected with the corrupt person, how to convict him?"

Zhan Zhao said he understood, "Then our main task now is to find gold first?"

"It depends on the investigation results of the five officials and Jin Decai. If there is still no obvious evidence that some of the six of them are related to the case, then it is better not to find out the gold." Su Yuan said.

Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, and asked Su Yuan, "Could it be that you already guessed where the gold is?"

"Thousand catties of gold are not lucky to go out, and the rumors of haunting are not groundless, just check it there." Su Yuan said.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce suddenly realized.

"If this is the case, then the most important thing now is not to find the gold, but to wait for someone to get the gold. Otherwise, if you only find the gold, you will not be able to connect with the real culprit behind the scenes, and give him a chance to escape. It would be a pity." Bao Zheng sighed.

Bai Yutang remained silent the whole time, showing no doubts.

After observing everyone, Zhan Zhao tentatively asked, "Could it be that everyone guessed where the gold is? I'm the only one who didn't realize it?"

Zhan Zhao doesn't think he's stupid, but among this group of people, he feels that his intelligence is crushed.

……

Two days later, the Kaifeng government found out the situation of Jin Decai and other six officials. Apart from confirming that the steward named Chang Lin would do acupuncture, they did not find anything related to "acupuncture points" from the other five people. place.

However, Chang Lin's knowledge of acupuncture and moxibustion is actually not hidden. When he was on duty in Qianjian, he treated many officials with sore shoulders and necks, and everyone was very helpful.When they feel uncomfortable, they will ask Chang Lin for a few needles, and Chang Lin will never refuse.

Chang Lin is also a talkative person who can chat about everything, especially when it comes to the acupuncture technique that he learned later.

After the Kaifeng government questioned the six officials as usual, they let them go back to the Qianjian to work as usual.

Half a month later, Bao Zheng was reprimanded by the emperor for failing to investigate the case of Qian Jian's loss of gold.

Seeing this, Du Yan interceded for Bao Zheng: "If Bao Zheng hadn't reported this case and asked His Majesty to allow a thorough investigation of Qian Jian's accounts, I am afraid that everyone has not yet known that someone in Qian Jian has embezzled 1 taels of gold from the treasury. Since this person dared to To be so blatantly greedy for money in Qianjian must have thought of a perfect plan, and the Kaifeng government has not found out the reason for the time being, but it is understandable."

"There is no perfect crime, there are only people who can't find out the truth of the case."

Taishi Pang sarcastically said that he did not agree with Du Yan's statement.

"The Kaifeng government is in charge of the public security and prison litigation in Gyeonggi. It is the duty of their investigators to discover the abnormality of the household department case. But such a big case has been thoroughly investigated for so long, and there is no progress at all. 1 taels of gold So far, there is no whereabouts of a tael of gold, and it is really incompetent.

How do you say this is justifiable?Is it possible that some border guards discovered that there were riots at the border, and because they detected and reported it in time, they could offset the major fault of ineffectiveness in resisting the enemy later? "

After Pang Taishi's words, the vast majority of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty nodded in agreement, thinking that Kaifeng Mansion's ineffective handling of the case should be reprimanded.

"The investigation of any case cannot be smooth sailing, not to mention that the Kaifeng government has made great contributions this time, and it is not too much to tolerate a little time. If it is about pursuing responsibility, the household department should be held accountable first. Qian Jian made such a big mistake because the officials It was caused by their negligence and negligence, and they should all be severely punished."

Du Yan intends to excuse Kaifeng Mansion and divert everyone's attention.

Grand Master Pang took a special look at Du Yan, but he didn't expect that a person who is usually cunning and sloppy in the court would stand in a clear line today and choose to help Kaifeng Mansion.

Taishi Pang was very dissatisfied, and was about to refute Du Yan, and had a verbal confrontation with him.

Bao Zheng knelt down to make amends at this time, admitting that Kaifeng government had made no progress in the investigation of this case.

"All suspicious people or places have been checked very carefully, but the strange thing is that there is no more evidence."

Bao Zheng said very sorry that the Kaifeng government might not be able to investigate the case clearly, and asked the emperor to choose another suitable candidate before investigating the case.

"Why, this case can't even be investigated by Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Is the Dali Temple going? Or the Criminal Department?"

Several ministers were discussing.

The Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice immediately said that they could not do it.The Ministry of Criminal Justice couldn't figure out the Lantern Ball case that Kaifeng Mansion was able to investigate back then. If they want to investigate a case that even Kaifeng Mansion can't understand now, what's the difference from looking for death?

Don't look back and pursue the blame, Grand Master Pang spouted at them like today, the Ministry of Punishment is really a catastrophe.

Dali Siqing also has the same idea as the Ministry of Criminal Justice, not to cause trouble.

Bao Zheng looked at Grand Master Pang: "Since Mrs. Pang said 'there is no perfect crime, there are only people who can't find out the truth of the case', the grand master must be very good at investigating cases, so please ask Grand Master Pang to investigate this case thoroughly."

"I'm seeking his own government in his place. I'm the grand master, not the governor of Kaifeng. Why should I investigate your case? If I'm incompetent, I have to shirk responsibility and push the trouble to others. You people in Kaifeng are all fools." For cooking?"

Taishi Pang's tone was tricky, and he questioned Bao Zheng dissatisfied.

Bao Zheng promised Grand Master Pang: "All the people in the mansion have to go out frequently, and they usually eat dry rice. This way, they can endure hunger and strengthen their bodies. It's not as good as Grand Master Pang who drinks water every day. I don't know if it's because of his old teeth. Is it bad? Or stomach upset?"

"Bao Xiren!" Grand Master Pang blew out his beard and stared angrily at Bao Zheng.

This guy seems to have become more poisonous than before, and I don't know who influenced him.

Taishi Pang asked the emperor to take a look at Bao Zheng's arrogance now. It was clear that he was incapable of investigating the case and made mistakes first, but he still acted so righteously and arrogantly above the court.

The emperor rubbed his head and told them to stop arguing.

On the whole, he still agrees with Taishi Pang's idea that Kaifeng Mansion should be held accountable for failing to investigate the case.

That night, a tabloid reported that the Kaifeng government did nothing to thoroughly investigate the Qianjian case, which enraged the emperor and reprimanded him.In addition, he succinctly talked about the case of Qian Jian's loss of gold, feeling that the 1 taels of gold has disappeared or will remain a mystery forever.

As soon as this newspaper was published, it immediately attracted heated discussions among the people in Tokyo.All the people in Kaifeng Mansion can see the results of the investigation.No one blamed Kaifeng Mansion for the failure of the investigation this time. On the contrary, many people felt that it was normal that the case could not be investigated.

After that, there was a very "convincing" rumor widely spread in the capital, which explained clearly the reason why Qian Jian's 1 taels of gold disappeared.

"Everyone knows that getting ten taels of silver out of the Qianjian is as difficult as heaven, let alone transporting 1 taels of gold. Those who can do this without anyone noticing it, without leaving any traces, That's only one possibility."

In the lobby of Zuixian Tower, a storyteller was talking enthusiastically about the case of Qian Jian's loss of gold that has been hotly discussed in the capital recently.

The guests who ate and drank here were all very interested in hearing it, and hurriedly asked the storyteller what kind of possibility it was.

"Five ghosts luck!" said the storyteller.

"What's the explanation?" The guests asked hurriedly.

"Guest officials don't know that Qianjian's Qiandongsuo has long been haunted by ghosts. This shows that someone used this method to successfully transport Qianjian's 1 taels of gold. The method of luck is to move money, Master Bao and the others are good at investigating cases, but they are only mortals after all, and they can't find ghosts no matter what, so they will naturally not understand this case."

"If you don't think about it, with the ability of Master Bao of Kaifeng to investigate the case, how could it take so long to find out the results? And the 1 taels of gold is not a small amount, weighing a thousand catties, how can you get it from the heavily guarded money?" Move it out of prison?"

The more the guests thought about it, the more they felt it made sense. It seemed that there was only one explanation.It's pitiful to Mr. Bao, he can catch the prisoner, but he can't catch the 'ghost', so he can only accept his bad luck, be miserable, and be criticized severely by the emperor in the court for nothing.

After another three days, everyone gradually decided that the most likely case of Qian Jian's loss of gold was that the five ghosts got rich and stole the money.Because there is more and more recognition, there is nothing to dispute, and the rumors have gradually declined from prosperity to decline.

Jin Decai and several other Qianjian officials were fined and demoted.Jin Decai was demoted from the head of the sixth rank of Qianjian to the junior master of the ninth rank, and if he made any mistakes or omissions, he would be dismissed directly and never hired.

The newly-appointed head of Qian Jian is Feng Bo. After he took office as a new official, he reorganized and made money and two offices.He was very anxious about the backlog of unfinished money-making tasks, and asked the craftsmen to work in shifts at night to make money, but the craftsmen were reluctant to do it because of rumors of haunting.

In desperation, Feng Bo carefully investigated the process of the matter. After learning that inviting famous Taoists to come to practice the technique could not appease the emotions of these craftsmen, he racked his brains to think of another solution.

It is to completely dismantle the copper water furnace where Wang Shuigen and Wang Shuisheng brothers both fell to their deaths in the place where rumors of haunted ghosts frequently occur, which is taboo for everyone, and ask Taoist priests to arrange a soul-relief stone here, and then choose another one. A safe place to rebuild with a new furnace.

And Feng Bo also publicly stated that when the new furnace is built and put into use, he will be present all night to accompany the craftsmen.If Zhuqiandongshou is haunted again, he will appear as soon as possible.

Only then were the craftsmen appeased, saying that they could try to stay at Zhuqian Dongsuo at night.

The summer noon is extremely hot, and the sun makes the willow leaves curl.

Jin Decai brought people to dismantle the copper water stove, and ordered the craftsmen to quickly remove all the bricks from the hearth.After the bricks were loaded into the car one by one, they were transported out of the Qianjian.

Jin Decai discussed with the groom who drove the car, if he could help transport these discarded bricks to his father-in-law's house.

"Recently, his house happens to be building a pigsty, and using this will save you the need to buy bricks."

The groom didn't think too much, and according to Jin Decai's request, he sent a cart of bricks to an unremarkable house in the west of the city. There was an unfinished pigsty behind the house, and two piglets were kept in it.

After unloading the bricks, the groom wiped the sweat from his brow and sighed that the noon sun was so strong that his skin hurt from the sun.

It is so filial for Guanshi Jin to be so dedicated to his father-in-law!"

"I can't help it. You also know that my situation is not the same as before. I have to save some money, but this father-in-law should be filial." Jin Decai sighed.

The groom nodded again and again, expressing his understanding, "Oh, you are also unlucky, and this kind of thing happened. Who knows that the money from the Zhuqian Dongsuo was removed by ghosts, and it is impossible to get it back, so it makes you suffer." implicated."

Jin Decai sighed again, expressing that there was no other way, he gave the driver ten fen to thank him for his help, and asked him to buy some tea to drink.

"I was fined a salary. I really don't have much money. Don't dislike me. But if you don't accept it, you will look down on me."

The groom hurriedly said how dare he dare, thanked him, and then left.

At this time, Su Yuan held an oil-paper umbrella to shade the sun, paced slowly, and came in from the back door of the house.

"Boss Jin, you asked someone to help you move a carload of gold bricks, and your face was flushed from the sun, and you were covered in sweat, so you gave him ten coins as a reward, isn't that a little too much?"

The groom was stunned for a moment: "A cart of gold bricks?"

At this time, a group of yamen servants led by Wang Chao and others surrounded Jin Decai. Wang Chao picked up a brick on the ground, and after hitting it hard twice, the surface of the brick shattered, exposing the golden nuggets inside.

The groom witnessed the appearance of the gold bricks, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then glared at Jin Decai: "I said, why is this truckload of bricks so heavy? Send me ten pennies, and still pretend to be pitiful with me?"

The groom was so angry that he really wanted to kick Jin Decai hard.

Jin Decai never expected to be discovered. He obviously succeeded. After careful calculation step by step, he successfully transported the gold out. How could he be discovered!

Jin Decai sat on the ground with limp legs, looked at the pile of bricks all over the floor, and kept shaking his head, saying it was impossible.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible to be discovered, impossible..."

"You have a good method. It took more than a year to slowly plan this method to transport a thousand catties of gold.

But you are really stingy, who would have thought that apart from Wang Shuisheng, you were the only one who planned to steal 1 taels of gold. "

Su Yuan couldn't help feeling impressed by Jin Decai's 'courage'. Even those who investigated the case felt that it was impossible for only one person to do the rest of the work of transporting gold, but Jin Decai put it into practice forcefully.

"But the feeling that this person can covet 1 taels of gold alone, isn't it very happy?" Su Yuan curiously asked Jin Decai how he felt.

Jin Decai only felt that Su Yuan was mocking him, and he fell on the ground with a despondent face, bowed his head and said nothing.

It must be a great feeling to really own a small golden mountain, but unfortunately the happiness is only for a moment.

Su Yuan rested his chin and pondered.

"What are you thinking about?" Bai Yutang came after him.

"I was wondering if I would be able to escape perfectly if I were to handle this case." After Su Yuan finished speaking, he asked Bai Yutang back, "Do you have any?"
