Da Suining

Chapter 80 Lost
"How to say?"

"Don't dare to hide from the official, the son who exchanged 2000 taels of silver before, they still have hundreds of taels of silver in our bank."

"Didn't you say that you exchanged 2000 taels?"

"At that time, there were two silver bills, totaling 2000 taels. However, after his attendants exchanged the silver, they felt that there was too much money and it was difficult to hold it for a while, so they threw 800 taels on our cabinet. .”

It's the first time I heard of losing money.

800 taels of silver is not a small sum.

Moreover, those people had never been in contact with Rihengchang, so they dared to throw 800 taels of silver here, which is not ordinary courage.

"Aren't they afraid that this money will disappear? How dare they put it in your bank?" The yamen servants were puzzled. Their monthly salary was less than five taels of silver. To them, the impact of 800 taels of silver was too great.

The shopkeeper analyzed: "If you dare to put money in our bank casually, you must have taken a fancy to the reputation of our bank. Our Rihengchang has a history of several decades since our ancestors. ..."

The yamen servants rolled their eyes.

The shopkeeper said again: "There are only two possibilities for throwing silver in our bank so casually. One is that they are very rich, and 800 taels is just a drop in the bucket to them. The other is that they have great power. I can't offend them, let alone greedy for their money."

"Did they say when they would come back to get the silver?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I just said to pick it up when it's used up. I took away 200 taels earlier, and it might take a few years. When the 200 taels are used up, I'll come back and get them."

If they come back every few years to get the 800 taels.Is it possible that the yamen servants have to wait for several years?

The madam of Chunhualou reported to the official, saying that someone had taken the opportunity to rob her of the 2000 taels of silver note, and now she is nowhere to be found.

Qingcheng is the capital of the Xuan Kingdom. There are not only nine admirals, but also twelve hours of uninterrupted imperial guards. The eyes of the lord of the government are still wide open every day. Forty miles outside the city, there are still An army is dedicated to guarding this Qingcheng.

Not to mention the case of 2000 taels, but the case of 200 taels of silver, the master of the government office has not taken over the case for several years.

Someone dared to grab 2000 taels, and it happened under the rule of Lord Fuya, and it happened in Qingcheng under the blue sky. Isn't this a slap in the face of Lord Fuya?

Those officials were usually dishonest. Although the emperor made repeated orders not to drink flower wine or sleep with prostitutes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. How many old foxes sneaked into the Chunhua Building? It's extremely fragile, the story of her banknote being robbed is probably already rumored, those old foxes are waiting to watch the show in their hearts.If he, the lord of the government office, didn't close the case, wouldn't he want to make his colleagues look down on him?
check.

So I sent the yamen servants to visit street by street. First, I searched according to the memory of the old bustard, looking for the thief's back, but the old bustard didn't see clearly, and he couldn't even tell the clothes.

Starting from the bank notes again, it was found that Ri Hengchang had gained something. Unfortunately, although the thief may return, it is unknown when he will come back.

Sad people.

The yamen servant whispered to the shopkeeper of Rihengchang: "You are born and guarded in the bank. Once you have news about that person, you must find a way to control them. After you control them, send someone to report to the yamen. We are very happy It will be here soon."

The door of the private room in the teahouse opened with a "squeak".

"The room in the middle is very good." A familiar voice came, it was Guo Kai, and Guo Kai kicked open the door of the private room: "I just like this room, and I want to sit here and drink tea. Go, bring me a pot of black tea, and make me some delicate snacks, and you will have money."

"But this young master, there is someone in the private room." Xiaoer followed behind with a look of distress, trying to stop him, but he couldn't stop Guo Kai.

After Guo Kai and Xiang Yan met at the Tianqiao, they ate some snacks, watched some singing and dancing, and some acrobatics, breathing fire, and the hot weather made it very dry.

The tea here is very good, and it is only a cup of tea from the overpass in a carriage.

Guo Cheng obviously saw Xiang Suining.

It was rude of him to come rushing into the house.

Mingzhu quickly stretched out her arms to stop Xiang Suining in front, trying to cover Xiang Suining's face from Guo Kai.

Guo Kai chuckled: "There's nothing to stop, it's not like I haven't seen it before."

Xiang Suining ignored him and just looked at the door.

A shadowy beauty stood at the door, although her back was facing the elegant room, but her posture could not deceive anyone, the golden hairpin belonged to Suining.

It's Xiangyan.

She was indeed with Guo Cheng.

The moment Guo Kai kicked open the door, Xiang Yan had already seen Xiang Suining, she couldn't come in, so she just waited outside.

Guo Kai picked up the teapot and took a few sips of the teapot, "Gululu": "I can meet you everywhere, why, are you following us?"

Xiang Suining still ignored him, but turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

The lion dance in the distance probably dispersed, and the flow of people was rushing towards this side, like a tide, it was dark, the drums of the lion dance stopped, and it became much quieter outside.

"Miss Xianger has quite a lot of silver. The jasmine here is half a tael for a pot, right?" Guo Kai took out a ten tael ingot from his sleeve and waved it in front of Xiang Suining.

Xiang Suining pretended not to know anything.

Guo Kai put away the ten taels of silver and said in a low voice: "It's not a coincidence this time, why don't we drink tea together some other day."

"I've already had it." Xiang Suining looked out the window indifferently.

The yamen servant hadn't left yet, so he gave some instructions to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper handed him what he said.

Guo Kai poked his head out of the window, his voice was originally rough, but now he laughed, rattling like an old crow in the middle of the night: "The sky is fine, and the beauty is by your side. Alas, what can I ask for, what can I ask for."

Noise comes first.

The yamen servant raised his head, and Ri Hengchang's shopkeeper raised his head.

The moment he raised his head, the shopkeeper Rihengchang narrowed his eyes, the young man in the teahouse was a little familiar.

Xiangyan was a little anxious waiting at the door, and asked the boys to come in and hurry.

Guo Kai laughed and went out, and sat with Xiang Yan in the private room on the first floor.

Xiang Yan was about to leave, but Xiang Suining was in the teahouse, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Guo Kai comforted her: "The tea in this teahouse is good, aren't you thirsty too? Let's have some tea and some snacks. The opposite is the Rihengchang Bank. I'll ask someone to fetch 800 taels of silver for our future entertainment." .We won’t be late until we get the silver.”

Xiang Yan listened to him.

Guo Kai asked his entourage to go to Rihengchang to get the silver, but he was pressed down as soon as he entered Rihengchang.

Although the shopkeeper did not recognize Guo Kai at first sight, the shopkeeper did recognize his entourage, the person who exchanged the bank notes that day.

The yamen servant put the knife on the entourage's neck, and the entourage even jumped around, saying that their master was the second prince, and accused the second prince of robbing the bank notes. Not to mention the yamen servant, even the lord of the government office didn't want to do it, right?

The yamen servant only thought he was bragging, and beat him on the ground. After the beating, his followers became honest, pointed at the teahouse with blue eyes, and sold Guo Kai.

Before Guo Cheng finished his pot of black tea, his entourage came back.

Seeing that he was empty-handed, Guo Kai scolded: "How can it take you so long to take a piece of silver? How about 800 taels of silver?"

"Gone."

"It's gone? Rihengchang's shopkeeper took our money? Wait until I find someone to take down his signboard and chop it up."

"Grand... son."

"Young master, what are you, some people are greedy for our money, what are you doing in a daze, fuck it, smash it." Guo Kai first drew out the dagger in his sleeve.

A dozen yamen servants surrounded the door in an orderly manner.

At this moment, I don't know where the yamen servants were dispatched, but they came so fast.

"You are the leader of the thief." A yamen servant came forward with a rope: "I robbed someone's banknote, and I still eat and drink here, and I am accompanied by a girl. It's really carefree. Hurry up, follow me!" Let's go back to the yamen, be good, and save us from doing it."

"What grabbing bank notes?" Guo Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xiang Suining upstairs has reported to the government?I deliberately tested her just now, she looked calm, she didn't seem to notice that the bank note was missing?

Is she pretending?

"Do you dare to arrest me if you know who I am? Telling the story will scare you to death. So what if you robbed 2000 taels of silver notes? What's wrong? Isn't all the silver in Xuanguo belongs to our family? "Guo Kai shouldered his chest and poured a bowl of black tea on the yamen servant's face.

The black tea splashed, and several yamen servants retreated.

Guo Cheng only thought that everyone was afraid of him: "I don't even ask who I am."

"Who are you?"

"I am the noble emperor's son, the second prince Guo Kai, and my concubine mother is the concubine concubine. Let me see who dares to touch me."

The yamen servants thought he was bragging. When he used to catch prisoners, the prisoners would also struggle. Sometimes in order to escape, they would fabricate bizarre life experiences to deceive the yamen servants.

Obviously there are too many servants this time, so I don't care: "Whose son are you?

"Ahem..." An old man coughed.

Several yamen servants quickly made way.

"You have found the wrong person. I remember that the thief is in the private room on the east side. This is the west side. If you disturb people's tea, it will be bad if you scare them."

"But master... it seems that we... caught the wrong person..."

Master, then this old man is Mr. Zhou Sheng Zhou.

Mr. Fu Ya did not give his subordinates a chance to refute: "You have the final say or I have the final say? I said that if I caught the wrong one, it was wrong. Let's go to the East Yajian to arrest people."

The old man Zhou flicked his robe and went to the east. The yamen servant looked at me and I looked at you, so he had to follow old man Zhou.

Guo Cheng swaggered out of the private room.

Xiangyan's face turned pale with fright. She had a private meeting with Guo Kai, and Guo Kai seemed to be involved in a lawsuit. Now the two of them were bumped into by the lord of the government office. If they were tied up, wouldn't the ancestors crawl out of their graves in shame?It's okay, okay, this old Zhou's avatar is a muddleheaded one.

Xiangyan hurriedly ran out of the teahouse with her head down, and Guo Kai followed.

Old man Zhou took the yamen servants to wander around the east Ya room, but found nothing. When he came back, the Xi Ya room was empty, only a teapot was left.

The yamen servant muttered in a low voice: "Master is really wrong. The people in the Xiya room just now are thieves who robbed the bank notes. It is unmistakable. The shopkeeper of Rihengchang personally identified it. Brothers, go out and chase."

Yamen servants drew their swords one after another.

Old man Zhou stomped his feet: "What are you chasing after? You run so fast, can't you catch up as soon as you catch up? How can you let them escape?"

"master……"

"I'm confused when you are masters?" Old man Zhou picked up a golden hairpin from his feet and rubbed it in his hands. The word "Neizao" on the golden hairpin even pierced his eyes, and he felt a chill on his back. I was sweating, and felt that I was clever just now, otherwise there are so many eyes watching inside and outside the teahouse, how should it end.

The yamen servants obviously haven't figured it out yet.

Master Zhou took them out of the teahouse and walked to a secluded place, then nodded his head and whispered: "Anyway, he is also a servant under my command, why didn't he learn a little shrewdness from me? You know, in Xuanguo, pretending to be a relative of the emperor, That's a capital crime, is it a bigger crime to rob 2000 taels of silver and go to jail, or is it a bigger crime to pretend to be a relative of the emperor?"

"It is a serious crime to pretend to be a relative of the emperor."

"So, who would fake it? A few years ago I was in the palace, and I saw the second prince from afar. He was chubby and not very clever, but he was somewhat similar to this young man in Yajian. So this young man is the second prince. Can't go wrong."

"That girl?"

Old man Zhou squinted his eyes and smiled, the girl who was with Guo Kai was of course Guo Wei's favorite person, Guo Kai and the others couldn't afford to provoke them, and the girl Guo Kai liked, they couldn't afford to provoke them either.

"Today, the matter of catching the thief has exploded. If there is no one to explain, people who are afraid of Qingcheng..."

"I know, you are afraid that the people in Qingcheng will spit at me, my lord. Even those colleagues will think that my salary is for nothing. Don't worry, they will not drown me by spitting on them. It's just for the boss. I have to make a confession." Old man Zhou touched the golden hairpin in his sleeve, which was the proof.

Xiang Suining didn't expect that he could watch such a good show while drinking a pot of tea.

Xiang Yan dropped the golden hairpin, she wanted to pick it up, but old man Zhou had sharp eyes, picked up the hairpin and hid it in his sleeve, he walked in the palace, he knew what was going on with the hairpin, since he hid it He released the hairpin, and let go of Guo Kai and Xiangyan. It was obvious what he wanted to do.

Xiangyan lost the golden hairpin, found it on the way back home, went back to look for it, then sneaked back to the private room of the teahouse to look for it, but couldn't find it.

So the whole person was out of his mind, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Dreaming at night is also a nightmare.Chunyu took the tea up, and the tea irritated Xiang Yan again, she splashed the tea and hit Chunyu in the face, making a lot of noise and waking up the people in the house.

Tang Xiaoniang babbled Yan'er when she put on her clothes, what are you doing so well, you still keep people from sleeping.

"Mother, I lost my golden hairpin."

"That was rewarded by the emperor, why are you so careless." Tang Xiaoniang was also taken aback. This prodigal daughter lost such an honor, but she can only admit it: "If you lose it, you will lose it. Another day." Go to Zhenbao Pavilion and play one more, go to sleep."
