Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 860 Do it!

"You wait until you draw conclusions and make decisions." Song Jue waved his hands at several people, "Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen, I can't understand what you are talking about at all. What do you mean, after more than a month? The strange thieves who ran rampant in the south of the Yangtze River did not steal any valuables, but only some inconspicuous gadgets? And these things have not been sold to the market yet?" Seeing the three people nodding at the same time, he showed a very confused expression, "At present How many items were stolen, is there a number?"

"I remember..." Bai Meng touched his chin, "They reported that there should be seven or eight hundred catties of food, about one hundred pieces of silk and satin, about fifty pieces of ceramic jade, and a small amount The gold shop reported that jewelry worth more than [-] taels of silver was lost. However, after many days of investigation by the police officers and government officials from various prefectures and the local garrison, no clues were found. As I said just now, these things are not at all It didn't enter the market. Everything else is fine, silk, porcelain, jade, and jewelry can all be kept, but the seven or eight hundred catties of food..." He looked at Song Jue, then at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha , "Most of them are not easy to store, and it is not easy to digest them in a short time, right?"

"It's not easy. They should have their own channels to sell the stolen goods, or they have accepted someone's entrustment to steal these things. As for silk, gold, silver, jade and jewelry, ordinary thieves will choose. Only when it comes to food Yes, usually no one will choose, unless you are very hungry." Shen Haolin looked at the other three people, "Do you think this strange thief will belong to this category?"

"No." Shen Cha shook his head, "That's why it's strange because I don't know. I don't understand why food accounts for the vast majority of his or their theft."

"Didn't you find any clues from the shadow?" Song Jue turned to look at Shen Cha, "You definitely won't let go of such an interesting thing, will you?"

"That's for sure. Even if I'm not interested, I still have to check this out." Shen Cha nodded, "After my brother and I found out about this, we sent a letter to Jiangnan's Shadow, asking them to investigate secretly. "

"What's the result?"

"I didn't find any clues... Oh, no, it's still a little rewarding. The time of this strange thief's crimes is quite regular. There is a gap of three to five days between two crimes. We can make good use of this gap." Take advantage of it." Shen Cha shrugged and looked at Song Jue, "What do those shops do for a living? Are they within the range of this strange thief?"

"It should be here." Song Jue thought for a long time but couldn't remember which shops under the names of Song Yuexuan and Song Junran, and finally asked someone to invite the two father-in-laws, Pan and Cui, "Song Yuehuan and Song Junran, the two father-in-laws still remember?"

"Remember, remember." Eunuch Cui nodded, "There is no bastard who has assassinated the late emperor before."

"When the father sent them to the mountains in the southwest, did he leave them a few shops for their daily expenses?" Song Jue patted the two father-in-laws lightly, "Do you remember which ones they are? ?"

Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan looked at each other. Eunuch Cui apologized to Song Jue. After going out for a while, when he came back, he had a small notebook in his hand. He opened it and found the records of Song Yuexuan, Song Junran, etc. The page about the shop was handed over to Song Jue.

"It's just these few." Eunuch Cui looked at Song Jue, then at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Bai Meng, "Are you planning to deal with them?"

"Why do you say that?" Shen Cha poured two cups of hot tea, walked up to Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan, and handed them the teacup in his hand, "Do you really dislike them?"

"Hey, how should I say this? It's not that I don't like them, but I hate them from the bottom of my heart. These two people have been restless since they were young. Every time they enter the palace, their eyeballs will roll around. I don't know what bad idea they are planning. Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan thanked Shen Cha, "Has Your Majesty already said something about them?" Seeing Song Jue nodding, he continued, "What you know is only what the late Emperor wanted you to know Yes, there are still many darker things that I haven’t told you.”

"Oh?" The children immediately regained their spirits, "Sit down, two father-in-laws, and tell us quickly."

"You guys are really too curious." The two father-in-laws looked at them, "Do you really want to listen?"

"Yes." Song Jue looked at them seriously, "They are related to what we are investigating now."

"Understood, what should I say? These two brothers..." Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan shook their heads at the same time, "The state of madness is beyond comprehension. Before the assassination of the palace banquet, they had already done many crazy things. The servants and maids in the harem set fires in the harem, put medicines in the ingredients in the imperial dining room, and sent people to sneak into the bedrooms of the first emperor and concubines in the middle of the night to pretend to be ghosts."

When she heard this, Shen Cha couldn't help coughing twice. This was a trick she used to deal with Wan Yanping. She didn't expect that Song Yuexuan and Song Junran used it to deal with the late emperor.

Song Jue and Shen Haolin also thought of this, they raised their eyebrows at Shen Cha, and showed a smirk at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Eunuch Cui looked at them curiously, "Is there something wrong?"

"No, no, no." Shen Cha repeatedly denied, "Go on."

"The first two can actually be prevented, as long as you pay attention to it, but the last one is particularly hateful, and it is really hard to guard against."

"Tried and tested." Shen Cha nodded, judging from Wanyan Ping's current state, this method is very effective.

Eunuch Cui glanced at her, "Have you used it too?"

"Yeah!" Shen Cha's expression was very embarrassed, "Using this method to deal with Wanyan Ping made her look haggard."

"The general's approach is right, and we should deal with foreigners." Eunuch Cui showed a loving smile towards Shen Cha, "Now that you have used it, you know that this method will not be effective in a day or two. For less than half a month, every night when people were sleeping, they would come out to pretend to be ghosts, making the whole palace restless. It was also because they couldn't sleep well at night and their energy was low during the day, so it was easy to make mistakes. Once they came out If there is a mistake, it is easy for them to seize the opportunity. And they did catch it a few times, but we reacted very quickly and did not let them succeed."

"It turned out to be a series of tricks, I learned." Shen Cha smiled, if Wanyan Ping was dishonest, she could also follow suit.

Seeing Shen Cha's expression like this, Shen Haolin, Song Jue, and Bai Meng looked at each other helplessly, Wanyan Ping had better be obedient and don't cause trouble, otherwise the days to come will be even more difficult.

"However, the first emperor was very kind to these two brothers. Even though there was an assassination incident, he didn't kill them all. He still saved their face and gave them a shop to survive." Eunuch Pan patted the little book , "There are nine in total, most of which are related to eating and drinking, which can guarantee that they will have a worry-free life."

Song Jue looked at Shen Cha, "How about it, do you want to do it?"

"Do it! Since there is such a convenience, wouldn't it be a pity for yourself if you don't do it?"
