After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 147

In the scorching summer, the bed was no longer comfortable, so Shen Xian got up early and went to a nearby breakfast stand to eat with Zhao Shun.

"Two bowls of tofu nao and a small steamed bun."

After ordering breakfast and sitting down, Shen Xian glanced at the price list in the stall, and in just one day, the price of breakfast tripled.

"Shopkeeper, did the government arrange for someone to go outside the city to serve porridge this morning?"

Shen Xian asked casually while eating the warm meat buns.

The aunt who sold the steamed stuffed buns said while kneading the noodles: "The porridge maker didn't see it, but I saw the arrester come and go several times."

Shen Xian frowned slightly when she heard the words, it shouldn't be, the money should be given to the refugees, what if the refugees riot if it continues like this.

Zhao Shun took one of his meat buns and put it in front of Shen Xian, and said softly: "Don't think about these things when you are eating, the money is already in place, and it will be a matter of time to distribute the porridge, unless the money is gone."

Zhao Shun's figure was tall and burly, Shen Xian felt that he hadn't eaten much by himself, so he stuffed the meat bun back.

The two of them were eating when they saw Catcher Fang rushing over from the other side of the street, commanding his cops to search nearby with a solemn expression.

"Captain Fang! Here!"

Shen Xian bit down half of the steamed stuffed bun, muttered and beckoned.

Fang Butou was worried, when he saw Shen Xian greeting him, his heart suddenly brightened, and wondered why he had forgotten this great god.

I don't have a clue when the money is lost, but what if Miss Shen has more ideas?
He strode into the shop, cupped his hands at Shen Xian and Zhao Shun and said, "Miss Shen, I just have something to discuss with you."

Seeing this, Zhao Shun asked for another basket of steamed buns and pushed them in front of Fang Butou.

"Thank you."

Shen Xian had something to do with Fang Butou, so he pressed down the question in his heart and waited for him to speak first.

Fang Butou looked solemn, sighed and said: "Miss Shen, someone entered the county government office last night and stole the relief money."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Shun, who was eating steamed buns, choked suddenly, and he said casually, why did he really lose the money.

At this moment, Shen Xian didn't have time to complain about Zhao Shun's crow's mouth, so he hurriedly asked: "Who is so bold that even dares to steal from the government."

Catcher Fang spread his hands helplessly, "I have no idea, so I came to ask Miss Shen for help."

Shen Xian didn't know what expression to make when facing Fang's head arrest, but he couldn't ignore it when things came up, if the money couldn't be recovered, the gates of the county town would not be able to open for a while.

But now Zhao Shun's time is very precious, there is no time delay at all for the government examination in August and the imperial examination in October.

"My lady, help him think of a way, we don't have time to wait." Zhao Shun said clearly and immediately.

Shen Xian nodded and said: "I understand."

"Thank you both." Catcher Fang quickly thanked you.

Shen Xian thought for a while and asked: "The county government has guards at night, the money is so strangely lost, did no one notice?"

Catcher Fang shook his head and said, "The money is in the magistrate's study, so the brothers who were on duty at night didn't raise their vigilance."

Thinking about the county magistrate's incomprehensible appearance, Shen Xian couldn't help frowning and asked: "Is there a possibility that the county magistrate is guarding himself and stealing?"

Catcher Fang shook his head again when he heard the words, "I checked the outside of the study this morning, and there are shallow footprints near the window, which shows that the thief is thin and has excellent lightness skills. It is impossible for him to be a county magistrate."

"That's it."

Shen Xian is a little dazed at the moment, although she has a lot of thoughts, but she is not a professional policeman, at this moment she can't wait to go through the criminal investigation movies she has seen in a second.

But Zhao Shun's heart moved at this moment, thinking of the person who attacked him that day, although it was already late at that time, but following the nearby lights, he could still see that the person was a thin man, and he ran away very fast.

"Is it him?"

Listening to Zhao Shun talking to himself, Shen Xian immediately raised his head and asked expectantly: "Sir, do you have a clue?"

Catcher Fang looked excited, and immediately asked: "Brother Zhao, do you know something?"

Zhao Shun nodded slowly and said: "A few days ago, I encountered someone sneaking up on me on the street. That person was thin and fast, and he looked unusually skilled. He might be a person who stole money."

"Then if you see him, will you still recognize him?" Fang Butou asked again.

"Probably." Zhao Shun said with some uncertainty.

Shen Xian thought for a while and said: "What my husband said is just a possibility, we have to do both."

"Miss Shen, please tell me."

At this moment, Fang Tutou seemed to have a backbone, he completely gave up thinking and followed Shen Xian's idea.

"First of all, you send people to search the inns and brothels in the city, and picket suspicious persons. This step is called scaring the snake."

"Then the government pretended to be under pressure, borrowed money to provide disaster relief, and opened one side of the city gate. In order to prevent being found out, he would definitely take this opportunity to leave the city. At this time, I just need my husband to help keep an eye on it. "

After hearing this, Catcher Fang hesitated and said, "But if you let him go like this..."

"No, I'm sure."

Shen Xian is getting more and more confident, she is someone who cheats, yesterday's money comes not only from civilian money, but also official money, she refreshes it from time to time, as long as there is official money, it means that the target person has appeared.

"Okay, let's do that!"

Catcher Fang gritted his teeth, and decided to cooperate with Shen Xian to make a dangerous move.

At the inn opposite the county government office, Cao Shangfei lazily got up, checked the money under the bed, and opened the window with a smile on his face.

Looking down, the government office was empty, and all the policemen had already been dispatched.

"Hehe, these police officers must have never imagined that Lao Tzu is right next to the government, and the most dangerous place is the safest place."

Humming a ditty, Cao Shangfei called a table of good food and wine, sat by the window and observed the catcher's movements, once the catcher found him, he would run away immediately.

However, what he didn't expect was that the county magistrate went out to find businessmen to raise funds, and then arranged for someone to open the door to serve porridge.

"Could it be that the county magistrate was so anxious that he dared to open the city gate? Isn't he afraid that I will run away?"

Caoshang Fei thought about it, and felt that something was wrong, it seemed to be fraudulent.

Hiding the stolen silver on the beams of the house, Cao Shangfei went out in inconspicuous clothes, and followed the flow of people out of the city to gather near the city gate to inquire about information.

Zhao Shun hid on the wall, watching the crowd gathered through the crack of the window.

Soon, he found Cao Shangfei in the crowd, but after looking around, he found that this person had no luggage on him, and he didn't look like he was carrying money.

On the other side, Shen Xian refreshed several times in a row, but did not find any official silver.

Shen Xian nodded to the other party's head catcher and said: "Open the door and serve porridge."
