Zhuang Zhong deeply felt that he was being fooled by Feng Huan, who asked him to report to Dali Temple today but failed to explain clearly to others, which caused him to be stopped outside the door, which was very embarrassing.
"King Si Zhao ordered me to come here."
The guards were still unmoved, and one of them said: "I have never heard of it. If you don't have a certificate, you can't enter."
Zhuang Zhong cursed Feng Huan from the bottom of his heart, what is he doing! Although he said that he is only an intern now, so it is reasonable to not have a letter of appointment or anything like that, but at least you should explain it in advance. They couldn't even get in the door, and they said something to pull those stupid officials off their horses.
"Hey, isn't this the young man Qingtian from the law school? Why doesn't he go in here?" Guan Dawei looked surprised, but his face couldn't hide the mocking contempt.
Guan Dawei was furious when he saw Zhuang Zhong, if it wasn't for this kid, how could he be in a difficult situation. If it wasn't for human protection, I'm afraid this black hat would be taken off. But scolding is inevitable, and people have seen all the jokes. What kind of expert in solving cases is actually not as good as a kid.
Solemnly cupped his hands, "Ah, it's the official. I thought I wouldn't see you in Dali Temple. Go in quickly. This opportunity is hard to come by. Don't be late and you won't be able to eat and walk around."
Guan Dawei was poked in the sore spot, he snorted coldly, and flung his sleeves fiercely to leave.
He solemnly and proudly raised his chin until Guan Dawei disappeared before he retreated dejectedly to the side. Not having a phone is inconvenient, and he doesn't know Feng Huan's whereabouts, so he doesn't know if he can wait for him standing here. Feng Huan has never had a clear official position, and he has always been the leader wherever the emperor directs him to fight. So it's not like other people who click on time, love doesn't come.
Just as Zhuang Zhong wanted to turn around and leave, a shadow shrouded his eyes.
"What are you standing here for, is it to welcome the king?" Feng Huan was wearing a black robe with gold-rimmed sleeves, and was riding on a shiny black horse. .
Zhuang Zhong said unhappily: "I don't want to stand here and be stupid, but I have to get in."
Feng Huan said with a smile: "Standing stupidly for a while, no injustice."
Feng Huan rolled over from the horse, neat and handsome. Zhuang Zhong complained, if such a long robe was caught by a horse, it would be a good show. Throwing a dog to eat shit, you can still look so handsome.
"Why are you in a daze, why don't you hurry up and follow me." Feng Huan walked two steps and saw Zhuang Zhuang's strange appearance, he didn't know what to mutter, he flicked the horsewhip in his hand, and it fell next to Zhuang Zhuang's face, making a heavy sound.
Zhuang Zhong was taken aback, and blurted out, "I also rely on my face for food!"
Feng Huan also agreed, "This face fools people, it is indeed easy to be deceived."
Zhuang Zhong looks immature, with a clean look of innocence looking at the end, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be so easy to take the bait when he cheated on Zhao Xiong and Xu Meiniang that day.
Zhuang Zhong snorted, but quickly followed.
As soon as King Sizhao appeared, other people surrounded him respectfully when they saw him. When they saluted, they wished that their head and body were parallel to their legs. Zhuang Zhong also understood why Feng Huan said that he was not wronged by waiting so stupidly for a while, and other people looked at him differently.
Zhuang Zhong has no name and no distinction. Staying in Dali Temple is easy to be in an embarrassing situation. In addition, he is still young, although he is the son of Wen Yuanhou, he only recognized him later. Even if he had contributed to breaking Yuan Liangjun's case before, it wasn't enough to make people like Dali Temple think highly of him. But it was unusual for King Sizhao to personally lead him in. Although he wouldn't make a fool of him, he would not be too difficult on King Sizhao's face.
Feng Huan went to Dali Temple and left after only a circle. Zhuang Zhong was even more sure that Feng Huan came for him, and he was very grateful.
However, Dali Temple is a place that values strength, if you want to win everyone's respect, you still have to rely on yourself. Sun Zhaoyang's home had a temporary business and he would not return until next month, and no one took him with him, so Zhuang Zhong went to the file vault to check the files. The standards of this world can be seen from the dossier, combined with the laws and decrees here, it will be easier to understand and remember the rules of this world.
"This is considered a dossier. Cases over the years are here, and they are all arranged according to time and category. Dossiers can be read but not taken out. As long as they are borrowed, they must be registered. Don't try to modify or damage them. These are all back files." Management The dossier in Dali Temple is an old man, everyone calls him Old Zhao, with his eyes narrowed and his face serious. It doesn't mean that Feng Huan's attitude becomes kind because he is the man of King Si Zhao. His attitude is lukewarm and rigid.
Zhuang Zhong has a good impression of such a person, the warehouse is very clean and organized clearly, it is very convenient to find anything. He is a person who does practical things, not just talking tricks.
"Is there any case where criminals are about to be executed recently?"
Old Zhao was a little hunched, went in and touched for a while, and then took out a large stack of files, "This is only 10%, and I will get the rest after you finish reading."
Seeing the pile of files like a hill, Zhuang Zhong wiped off his sweat. It was only then that I remembered that it was almost autumn, and asked to be cut after autumn, no wonder there were so many files.
Zhuang Zhong opened the file and looked at several cases, and heaved a sigh of relief. After all, people like Guan Dawei are still a minority, and most officials are still very strict. At least in this way, there is nothing wrong with it. The evidence is solid and there is no doubt. Although Zhuang Zhong wanted to take this opportunity to make meritorious service, he hoped that there would be no unjust cases in the world. In this world, the handling of cases is rough, and the prison conditions are very poor. If there is an unjust case, even if the victim has not been beheaded, he will suffer a lot during this period. If someone is unlucky and wronged, even if he is rehabilitated in the future, there will be very little compensation. Some people couldn't hold back and died in prison before they even waited until the day of beheading.
Zhuang Zhong read very slowly, the language was still a bit obscure for him, and reading the case files required a little bit of detailed analysis, and he only read three cases in the past morning. And it is a relatively simple and straightforward case, not a difficult case.
"Don't stop me. If you don't give me a result today, I will sit here and die. After all, I can't live anymore!" The solemn attention also attracts the past.
Zhuang Zhong rubbed his sore eyes, and went outside to see what happened.
Guan Dawei had a helpless expression on his face, so he could only bite the bullet and bear it. This woman has a round waist and thick shoulders, and is very rich in gold. Pointing at Guan Dawei's nose and yelling arrogantly, Guan Dawei, who is usually domineering, also admits cowardice in front of this woman.
"Miss Yin, it's not that the thief has been caught, but he hasn't opened his mouth yet. Don't worry, he won't last long..."
The woman spat at Guan Dawei directly, "Don't call Mrs. Yin so affectionate, aren't you known as the number one master, and such a bad old man can't take it down. You can run faster than a rabbit when you ask for money. Why? Our family was in trouble, and you started to procrastinate. Let me tell you, Guan Dawei, although our family is a merchant, it is not empty! Yin Xianfei and I are relatives who have not yet given up five clothes. If you don't check it out for me, I will definitely take your skin off! Make you spit out all the things that ate my house before."
Guan Dawei's forehead was sweating finely. Seeing that many people gathered to watch the movement, he was even more anxious. He pulled the woman to go out but was slapped away by the woman. I'm not going anywhere today. Our bank will not be able to continue because of this matter, and I don't know which bastard would dare to steal from us! That's all, I will tell you privately When I reported the case, I wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, and the matter would be over. But you, you caused me a lot of trouble. Everyone knew that our bank was stolen, and everyone came to exchange with Jiaozi. I already lost nearly five thousand taels of silver, and the rest have been turned over for business, and now others come to exchange the money, where can I get the money to exchange it! If this continues, the reputation of our Four Seas Bank over the years will be completely ruined."
The woman is Yin Damei, the wife of the owner of the Four Seas Bank, who is related to Concubine Yin Xian. The Yin family rose to prominence because of Concubine Yin Xian, and people like Yin Damei also ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs. Originally, the Four Seas Bank was one of the most powerful banks in the capital. With Yin Xianfei's signboard, it became more and more prosperous now. He said that no one dared to say the second.
But I didn't expect that someone would dare to steal it from them. Nearly 5,000 taels of silver were lost just like that. Even if they had strong financial resources, this 10,000 taels was not a small sum for them. What's more, the money disappeared so silently, which is really shocking. The first time you have it, there will be a second or third time. If you can't find out the truth, it is easy for others to no longer trust them. How will it continue in the future
It has been three days, and there is no news from Dali Temple. It is said that the thief has been found, but the lost silver taels have not been found after searching the house. Isn't this pure deceit? I don't know who was so wicked and leaked the news, and spread rumors that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were stolen, and now the number of people who come to the bank to exchange silver taels every day is too large to handle. If they can't find the real culprit and tell the truth, they will be unable to hold on.
After all, who wants to store money in a bank where the silver has been stolen and they don't know what happened? Might as well bury it in your own yard.
Guan Dawei was slobbered all over his face and was very annoyed, but let's not talk about the relationship between Yin Damei and Concubine Yin Xian. He was able to secure this position all these years because of Yin Damei's husband, Qian Rong, and it was true that he couldn't find these silver coins. There is no trace of it, so I dare not do anything.
"Ms. Yin, isn't there still two days left? Don't worry, I can definitely pry their mouths open."
Yin Damei sat down on the stone bench, pinching the handkerchief and fanning it vigorously, "Wait a minute, you've been arresting them for so many days, and you haven't found out the fart, can I not worry? That's four thousand eight hundred Seventy-three taels of silver! Ordinary people earn a few taels of silver a year, and it’s not like the wind blows me so much.”
"Don't worry, Mrs. Yin still doesn't know what I'm capable of, and nothing will go wrong."
Yin Damei gave him a sideways glance, "It's because I know your abilities so well that I don't feel at ease. That old Liu Tou has worked in our house for so many years, and I know his temper best. Although he is a bit rigid, he can say what he says. Two is two, you can't tell where the money is even after being tortured by you, it probably has nothing to do with him."
Guan Dawei was annoyed when he heard this comment, but he had a smile on his face, "With so much money, even a god would have to become a ghost. If it wasn't for him, who else would have this ability!"
"But have you found it? It will take a long time to move so much money, right? You have dug his house three feet into the ground, but there is not even a fart. I have told you who his family is dealing with, Didn't even find one."
Guan Dawei explained: "The money will not disappear out of thin air, there will definitely be clues. Lady Yin, don't be impatient, I will definitely help you find the money back."
Yin Damei's expression softened, "Okay, I'll just wait for two more days, and if there is no more news, I'll talk to my cousin and niece!"
Guan Dawei repeatedly promised to send the Buddha away. Seeing Yin Damei leaving, he blew hard in the direction of disappearance, "What! He is just a merchant, and he dares to mess with Lao Tzu."
As soon as he turned his head, he saw the crowd watching the excitement, including Zhuang Zhuan, who gave him a hard look and flung his sleeves away.
Zhuang Zhong became less and less fond of this official Dawei, and only used torture as a skill. I just feel sorry for that old Liu, I don't know what it will be like to be tortured by this person. However, his criminal investigation ability is insufficient, and he does not have modern equipment for investigation. The theft case is still very difficult for him, so don't try it now. Now he still hasten to read those files to see if there are any possible cases. Many people are not long before their execution. If anything can be found, rescue one counts as one.
The silver theft case has not progressed, and the suspected treasurer, Old Liu Tou, has been beaten to death. Even the two sons were arrested and severely punished, but nothing came of it. And this case spread throughout the entire capital, and many people were discussing how this bold thief stole nearly ten thousand taels of silver. The Four Seas Bank is heavily guarded. If you want to enter the warehouse, you must have three keys, and you cannot enter without one. One of the three keys is in Qian Rong's, one is in Yin Damei's body, and the other is in the hands of the old head Liu.
The lock is intact, and the money bank has never been opened by anyone, so it is certain that there must be a traitor who opened the bank with a key, otherwise how could so much silver disappear
There are different opinions, and there are all kinds of guesses. But two days later, Old Liu couldn't pry his mouth open no matter what, and the rest of the family couldn't stand the torture and admitted that they stole it, but they couldn't tell the reason when they asked about the trace of the money. Guan Dawei has nothing to do, this is different from other crimes that admit to committing crimes, if the stolen money cannot be recovered, it means that the case has not been solved!
Seeing that the stalemate is still there, Yin Damei goes to Dali Temple to make trouble every day, making the official Dawei very annoying but helpless. Yin Damei was originally a pungent, a well-known female tiger in the capital, and now there is a backer behind Zhan Li, and she is even more rampant. If she can't find money in that posture, she seems to be relying on Dali Temple.
Zhuang Zhong had a class in the morning and came to Dali Temple in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, Yin Damei moved a chair and sat at the gate of Dali Temple, looking like he was about to smash it. Guan Dawei at the side was sweating profusely and kept saying something. Zhuang Zhong was thinking about how to go around, when Guan Dawei suddenly raised his head and saw Zhuang Zhong's eyes lit up, Zhuang Zhongzheng didn't want to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Guan Dawei.
"Little official Zhuang! It's really time for you to come." Guan Dawei directly pulled Zhuang Zhong over, and wrapped his arms around Zhuang Zhong to prevent him from escaping. "Miss Yin, I have brought you Qingtian, a famous young man in Beijing!"
Zhuang Zhong managed to break away from Guan Dawei, and couldn't help but frown when he heard this, "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Guan, I'm just a law student, and I came here to learn my skills, how come I became a blue sky."
Yin Damei didn't believe it when she looked at the solemn and tender face, "What can such a little guy do."
Guan Dawei laughed and said: "Young officer Zhuang, don't be humble, no one knows your skills now. You still disdain to deal with merchants..."
Yin Damei became angry when she heard this, "Which law stipulates that merchants will not accept complaints, if they can't tell, I will go to court!"
"The official is not very good at investigating cases, but he is good at sowing discord. When did I have such thoughts, could it be that you think so yourself and everyone else thinks so." Zhuang Zhong said coldly.
Guan Dawei narrowed his eyes, "Then why don't you dare to take up the theft case from the Four Seas Bank? It's not because you look down on something."
"You are really logical. You put a big hat on me from the beginning and dug a hole for me on purpose. Now you want to pass the responsibility for your inability to solve the case to me. You really treat me as a five-year-old child Are you led by the nose?" Zhuang Zhong said to Yin Damei: "Lady Yin, don't listen to his nonsense, what the official said is like the case he handled, if you are serious, you will lose."
Guan Dawei didn't expect Zhuang Zhong to be so prickly. He thought it was a stunned young man who didn't throw out the hot potato in his hand, and felt very depressed, "What a powerful mouth, I don't know if it can be as powerful as this mouth in judging cases."
"Shut up!" Yin Damei yelled angrily, "I haven't found my money yet, and you are still in the mood to flirt here. If you have time to spare, get my money back."
Guan Dawei and Zhuang Zhong almost vomited to death, they don't know how to use words, don't use them indiscriminately, aren't they disgusting people
Yin Damei didn't know what explosive words she said, and said loudly: "You skinners, don't you just dislike me for not giving me any money. I'm leaving this here today. If any of you can help me get back those taels of silver, explain it clearly. How did the money get stolen, I, Yin Damei, rewarded him with one thousand taels!"
Guan Dawei's eyes lit up immediately, but he said in his mouth: "Ms. Yin doesn't need to do this, this is what we should do."
Yin Damei snorted coldly, "Well, if you find it, I won't give it to you. If you can't find it, hehe, I don't need to go out, and you can't afford to walk around."
Guan Dawei's face changed drastically, and he quickly said that the thousand taels of silver was reserved, and the case would be settled immediately. After saying that, he flung his sleeves and left, looking for clues in a hurry.
Zhuang Zhong hated Guan Dawei to the extreme, and decided to spend more time here, if there were no problems with those cases, that's all.
"Where are you going?" Yin Damei asked.
Zhuang Zhong was stunned, "Go in."
Yin Damei said angrily: "What are you doing in there? How do you investigate the case if you don't go and see?!"
"Ah? Didn't your lord go?"
Yin Damei spat hard, "What kind of a bird is he, I have all my money out, so go find silver for my old lady. I don't care if you are real Qingtian or fake Qingtian, if you can't find my money, I will never end with you. "
Although Yin Damei didn't trust her immature solemnity, but hearing what Guan Dawei said, she would treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. She had also heard about the case of the murder of the Tai student before, and the key to solving it was a young man, and from what Guan Dawei said, it should be this person. Maybe this person can find some clues carefully. Thousands of taels of silver are important to Yin Damei, but if they lose the silver for no reason, it will be bad for their reputation in the bank. This cannot be bought with money, and merchants, especially banks like them, value reputation the most. If you have a bad reputation, no one will deal with you in the future.
Solemn and speechless, whoever said that there is a clear hierarchy between scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce, some people dared to pull the emperor off his horse when they got angry, and they didn't care about the affairs behind them. This Yin Damei is just a businessman, even if she is related to Concubine Yin Xian, it is amazing to dare to be so arrogant. It's no wonder that Qian Rong didn't show up all this time, he might have known that his wife's fighting power is extraordinary, even Yin Damei couldn't handle it, and it was just a waste of time and energy for him to come here.
Hearing about this mysterious theft before, I was also very curious. Zhuang Zhong simply pushed the boat along and went to see if he could find anything.
Zhuang Zhong came to the bank of the Four Seas Bank, and found that the security here is very tight, which can be described as three floors inside and three floors outside. There are about a dozen people on patrol, and it can be said that there are no dead ends in all directions.
"Does the guard look like this on weekdays?"
The boy sent by the Four Seas Bank to be in charge of the leadership nodded again and again, "Yes, there are many sentries inside and outside our Four Seas Bank, and the guards are so strict that not even a fly can fly in. Everyone who goes in will be searched all over when they come out, and the Lord At that time, the family and the wife of the main family were all watching from the sidelines, and they couldn't take anything away at all."
"So, this thief is really very clever." Abacus sighed, the money was lost in the store, and the life of these hired workers was not easy. If you can't find it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep your job. Although the hostess's wife is a bit aggressive, their salary is still very good. If I leave here, I don't know where to find such a good job.
"Hearing what you said, you don't believe that old Liu is a thief?"
Abacus shook his head like a rattle, "Uncle Liu is the most rigid person, that's why the master trusts him so much. Even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the ability. Besides, he didn't dig his house three feet Well, I can't find anything at all. His family is in the capital, and he has no relatives at all, so where can he transport so much money?"
Zhuang nodded, "How many days does this bank open?"
"This treasury has two floors. On the first floor, only the key of Old Liu can be opened. Every day, Old Liu will put the money of the day into it, or temporarily take it out from there when there is a large transaction. The second The first floor is the real warehouse, with two locks, which are held by the master's house and the master's wife. Usually, it will be counted once every ten days, or if there is too much money outside, old Liu will find the master's house and they will open it. The silver treasury puts the excess money in. The lost silver is in the real treasury, and Old Liu can’t get in at all, so how can he steal it? If he has the ability to pick the lock, how can he get it out? The number of times of daily entry and exit is registered, even if he uses some method to transport some at a time, it will not be able to transport so much in ten days." Abacus said indignantly.
Although Old Liu is rigid, he is a good person, never harsh on others, as long as he works hard, he will never deliberately trip up, let alone deduct wages. That's why he won the support of the guys. It's inconceivable that Old Liu was arrested, but after so many days, he still can't find out why, and he is even more convinced that he was wronged.
"Have you mentioned these with the official?"
Abacus's face collapsed, "Of course I said it, but the official just confirmed him and said that no one else could enter the bank except him. And the night before the interrogation, Old Liu did go in for a long time."
"Can you tell me about the master's family and the master's wife, let me go in and take a look." After all, Zhuang Zhong is not an official official now, so he has no right to let the other party open the door. Although Yin Damei asked him to come over to investigate the case, she still didn't trust him much, so she didn't entertain him personally, but sent a young man.
Abacus looked puzzled, "This... I'll go and ask for you, I'm afraid it's not that easy."
"But what happened before?"
Chuan looked around, and then said in Zhuang Zhong's ear: "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. Guan Dawei came to investigate the case before, entered the bank several times, and took away a lot of things. Our hostess' wife I opened my eyes and closed my eyes, but the case didn’t make any progress, and it will not be so easy for anyone who wants to enter. The host’s wife even threatened that if she couldn’t find out, she would sue the government, accusing him of being corrupt and breaking the law.”
The fire in Zhuang Zhong's heart is so hot, this official is so powerful! No wonder he salivated so much when facing Yin Damei, it turned out to be rooted here. Unable to enter the bank and how to investigate and settle the case, Zhuang Zhong had no choice but to go to the prison to see the old Liu head first.
When he got to the cell, Zhuang Zhong had to pay some money to get in. As soon as Zhuang Zhong stepped in, he was almost suffocated by the stench inside, and when he saw the old head Liu, he gritted his teeth with hatred.
Old Liu Tou has been tortured to such an extent that he doesn't have a piece of good meat on his body! Abacus came along with him, and a boy and a half burst into tears.
"Uncle Liu, how did you become like this!"
Old Liu's two sons were still locked in the cell, and they were arrested because they both worked in the bank. His body was also miserable, and he could smell a burnt and foul smell before he got close. The two struggled to take care of the dying old Liu Tou, tears kept falling, and they couldn't finish it.
"I... I didn't... steal... no... can't... admit it." Old Liu was dying, but he did not forget to tell his two sons.
"Father, boy, I don't even think about it, how can I recognize what I haven't done. But I can't bear it!" One of them said.
Another person also wailed: "God, is this going to destroy our Liu family? Who did it to harm us like this!"
"Uncle Liu, Big Brother Liu, Second Brother Liu, how did you become like this?"
Liu Dalang lamented: "The official said that we stole the treasury silver, and wanted to beat him to death. But even if we did the trick, how would we get back those silver taels if we didn't steal it? So you tortured me again and again, hate me Father has suffered such a crime at such an old age, the sky is not fair, the sky is not fair!"
"I, I'll go to the master's house and tell them, how can you be thieves?"
Liu Erlang sighed: "What's the use of looking for them? Before, the master's wife was still talking for my father, but the official Dawei suspected that the master's guard had stolen himself! He believed that the person who took the key was the thief. It was either my father or the master and the master." My wife. How dare the two of them speak for my father like this!"
Zhuang Zhong clenched his fists, the anger in his heart was about to burn him out, took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and don't be confused by a few words.
"Is there any difference before the silver is lost? Think about it carefully, and don't forget anything that is different from usual."
Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang looked at Zhuang Zhong in unison, and Abacus quickly explained, "This is the little official who broke the case of the murder of the Tai student."
There was hope in the eyes of Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang, "My lord, we have been wronged!"
"I'm not an adult. If you believe me, I will tell you what happened during this period." Solemn and serious, slightly concealing the immaturity on his face.
Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang have nothing to do now, no matter who comes, they must catch them, Liu Dalang said: "Every ten days in the bank, they will go into the bank for inspection, there are very few exceptions, and this time it is still the same. I don't know how to check it once I go in. , that is, a few thousand taels of silver are missing."
"Did anything special happen during the period?"
The two brothers of the Liu family shook their heads, "No, my father is the most careful. Even if a cat appears suddenly, he will immediately order the master to open the bank for an investigation."
Abacus also said: "Uncle Liu is really careful, and he can find out our mistakes on weekdays. He is the guy who fears the most, but also respects him the most."
"Then what's the difference between Qian Rong and Mrs. Yin?"
Liu Dalang still shook his head, "No, if there was my father, he would definitely know. My father is the most suspicious when he says it sounds good, but when he says it carefully, he is the most suspicious. No one can believe it. Even our brothers have never touched the key. The same is true for the master's house, he said. He once had a friend who was wronged to death by his master’s family. Because the master’s family was two brothers, one of them wanted to embezzle the money, guarding himself by stealing and putting the crime on his friend’s head. So my father was extremely cautious and let my brother The two of them also went into the guard and took turns guarding, just for fear of something going wrong."
"Are you also guards?"
Liu Erlang sighed, "If it wasn't like this, how could it be determined that we stole it?"
Liu Dalang was also very helpless, "My father thought that as long as the money was kept under close watch, it would be safe and secure. Who knew that the careful arrangement would eventually become evidence that we were guarding ourselves and stealing from ourselves."
Zhuang Zhong didn't get much valuable information from the Liu family. He had never been to the scene, so it's hard to make a judgment based on one-sided words. It's just that fate plans to send medicine in for them. It is not yet known who the thief is. If someone dies, it will be too late to regret.
Zhuang Zhong was thinking about how to go to the silver treasury to investigate, when news came from the Four Seas Bank that more than 5,000 taels of silver had been lost in the treasury!
