Chapter 17 The Lost Silver

But the problem is, when the money arrived at the Qingzhou government office, it was also counted on the spot. There was a lot of money, but it disappeared after one night. The door was fine, the lock was not damaged, and the box was locked well. The silver was gone.What the hell?
Li Qingzhu said to Liu Shiyue: "You stay tonight, Mr. Lin and I will go to visit Qingzhou government office at night", Liu Shiyue said: "No, I will go too", Li Qingzhu was afraid that she would be in danger, Lin Zixian said: "Let her go, I will protect her, Liu Shiyue jumped up happily and said to Lin Zixian, "Thank you brother hero. "Li Qingzhu reluctantly agreed.

It was late at night, and a few of them came quietly to the mansion, and the gate was sealed. They took advantage of no one, jumped to the roof, took off the tiles, and went down from the roof. Since the money was lost, this place has been sealed .

There is nothing in the house, only the four big boxes containing the silver are still there. The inside of the box is empty, and the lock on the outside is open. The outer frame is indeed intact, and the lock has no trace of prying. How did the silver get lost? of.

Liu Shiyue looked carefully inside the box, and said: "No, there is no scratch in this box. You must be in a hurry to steal the silver at night. It is impossible that there are no traces. I am looking at the lock, too. Looks like it hasn't been locked, like a new lock, never used."

Li Qingzhu explained: "What you said has been investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice before, and it has been pointed out that there is no trace in the box because the silver is wrapped in yellow silk, so the silver and silk are lost together, and there is no trace on it. The lock, it’s a new one, and it’s only been used once, so I can’t see it.”

Liu Shiyue shook her head and said, "There is something wrong with this box." Looking around, there was nothing suspicious. It was empty. It seemed that there were really few clues. How did so much money be moved? Seeing that there is no other place to transport money, "Will someone assign a key to this gate." Liu Shiyue asked suspiciously.

Li Qingzhu said: "This door lock is a new lock brought by your brother. The craftsmanship is complicated, and it is impossible to match it in such a short time, unless the key has been stolen. But your brother feels that the key has not left him, and it may have been stolen. They returned it again, so the door was opened and the money was stolen!".

Liu Shiyue said again: "It's not that there is no such possibility, the silver is so heavy, why not steal it together with the box, but take the silver away alone, these silver also need several people, it takes a long time to transport them out, here How could the guards on guard not see it, it’s so hard to be in the same group.”

Li Qingzhu replied: "These guards are all your brother's cronies. They have followed him for many years, and they are generally unlikely to rebel. They are also imprisoned. It is not good for them to do this." Liu Shiyue looked at Li Qingzhu in surprise and said To: "Cousin, you have done a lot of homework, how come you know everything!" Li Qingzhu said with a smile: "Why did you come here without any preparation?"

It turned out that when Liu Ruochen was first arrested, Li Qingzhu was also trying to save her. She asked someone to check the file in private, just thinking that it might be useful in the future.

Liu Shiyue happily ran to Lin Zixian's side and said to him: "Hero, tell me, where can I find a girl as good as my cousin, and I have never wanted to marry her? You really have no eyes. Maybe one day my sister will marry someone else. Run away, see if you regret it!"

Lin Zixian said angrily: "Who are you talking about? I have never seen her before, and I don't know what her temperament is. Would you like someone who has never met? You have been avoiding brother Si Jun, but you are talking about me. Come on, those who don't know don't blame." Liu Shiyue is not a vegetarian either, you say what I say, and start arguing.

Li Qingzhu said impatiently: "When is this, you two still have time to bicker here, the business matters."

Liu Shiyue also calmed down slowly, looked at the box carefully, and suddenly thought of something and said: "Cousin, I always feel that something is wrong, it is impossible for people outside to see it, how did the money get out, Why don't you just use the box to carry the silver out, but transport the silver out alone. Without the box, the silver is not easy to get, unless it is a key stolen from my brother and sent back secretly. My brother was careless and didn't find it .”

Just as he was speaking, an arrow shot towards Liu Shiyue. Fortunately, Lin Zixian pushed her away with agility, but missed. The person who shot the arrow disappeared in an instant, and looked around again, but there was no sign. Seeing other people, Li Qingzhu said: "Let's go, go back first, it seems that they know our whereabouts well, so it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

After returning to the inn, add a dark whistle outside to prevent someone from eavesdropping on their speech.

Li Qingzhu said: "It seems that we are going in the right direction, cousin, maybe you guessed something, so they are eager to kill and silence!" Liu Shiyue said in a daze: "I guessed something, myself I don't know how."

Li Qingzhu said: "Didn't you just talk about how to transport the silver, you said it was impossible to transport it out, why didn't you carry the box together."

Liu Shiyue came back to her senses and said: "I remembered, yes, I'm talking about this, what does this mean, it's so difficult that there is something wrong with the box."

Li Qingzhu said: "Mr. Lin, you can contact Mr. Jiang tomorrow and ask him to check where the box was made?" Lin Zixian said: "Okay, no problem, leave it to me.

Lin Zixian has fought wars for many years, and has never dealt with women. He has no experience. Now that he saw Li Qingzhu, he seemed a little cautious. He was not at all like the young man who killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield. There are not so many rules, bickering and noisy every day.

Li Qingzhu's attitude towards Lin Zixian, he had always felt that he was a hero before, and he admired him very much in his heart. He seemed to almost feel the love for his children, and he didn't know if it was because of preconceived ideas.She always thinks of her mother's words, and she also understands the matter of feelings, don't invest too deeply, otherwise she must be hurt very badly.

Since marrying Lin Zixian is the best result, she also readily accepts it. After all, he is also a good husband, and there are many people who dream of marrying him. As for Jiang Sijun, he is like a thorn in her heart. The thorn, I always want to pull it out, but I still can't get rid of it.

She wanted to keep a certain distance from Jiang Sijun as much as possible, draw a clear line, match him and his cousin, and when Liu Ruochen was released, if Jiang Sijun didn't cancel the engagement, his cousin would still be his unmarried wife.As for Jiang Sijun's intentions, she didn't understand, nor did she want to understand.
