Chapter 660 Robbery (third shift)
Qu Lin stood in the warehouse blankly.The storehouse, which was originally filled with a lot of things, was empty at this time. The things here were specially selected and brought by the Qu family when they came to Beijing, and they were going to be given to the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. Treasures.

It's all gone now...

Just yesterday, the people in the whole house fell into an unknown lethargy, and they didn't wake up until the sun was high.Qu Lin usually got up early, so she naturally sensed something was wrong, so she asked her servants to check the house.As a result, after checking, it was found that everything in the warehouse had been robbed.Obviously, all of them were drugged yesterday, and the other party did it while they were unconscious in their sleep.

"Girl, I found this silk flower in the corner."

Qu Lin's maid handed a white silk flower to Qu Lin.This is a silk flower in the shape of a lotus flower, and the material used is very ordinary.The Qu family has a big business, and the silk flowers they use on weekdays are all extremely delicate, even the rough servant girls of the Qu family don't bother to wear silk flowers like this.

However, such a silk flower appeared in the warehouse.

white lotus...

Qu Lin's face turned pale, and a guess that made her extremely uneasy emerged in her heart—couldn't it be the White Lotus Sect who did it?Could it be because the White Lotus Sect found out that she let the White Lotus Sect take the blame?That's why the White Lotus Sect came to rob them.How did the White Lotus Sect know about this?Could it be that the Yuan family leaked this matter to the outside world?
Never let the adoptive father know about this.The things in this storeroom are worth more than two hundred thousand taels at least. If the foster father knew that she caused such a disaster for the Qu family, he would never let her go easily.

Thinking of the Qu family's method of rectifying people, the blood on Qu Lin's face faded inch by inch, and she felt her hands were shaking.

She looked at her maid and said, "I bought this silk flower casually when I went shopping in the street before, and I didn't expect it to fall here."

The maid thought she had caught the evidence of the thief, but it turned out that it was the silk flower bought by the girl, and she was a little disappointed.

Suddenly, Qu Lin seemed to remember something, her voice was no longer calm and calm as usual, and she said tremblingly, "Quick, quick, help me back to my room!"

Back in her room, Qu Lin hastily lifted the bed board, revealing the hidden compartment inside.She was relieved when she saw that the box in the dark compartment was still there.Fortunately, the box containing the enuresis is still there.

In the dark compartment was the [-] taels of silver note given to her by her adoptive father, which she usually used to manage.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the familiar white lotus silk flower in the corner of the dark room, and suddenly she fell into an ice cave—how, how could this be?

Trembling, she opened the box containing the banknotes... the box was empty, just as clean as the warehouse she saw just now.

The money inside was also stolen by the White Lotus Sect.

Bai Lian teaches so ruthless methods.

Qu Lin could only feel the strong smell of blood rushing straight to her throat, her eyes darkened, and she passed out like this.

When she woke up, it was already two hours later.

Her maid said with red eyes, "Girl, should we go to the Yamen to report the case?"

With so many precious things lost, it would not be enough to sell them all.If the master finds out, will he be so angry that he will sell them all to the dirty place?She can only hope to report the case, let the government catch the thief, and try to recover as much damage as possible.

Qu Lin grabbed her arm hard, her voice became high-pitched, "No, you can't report the crime."

The maid was very confused, how could she not report the crime after losing so much property?If you don't report the case, things won't come back.

Qu Lin's voice was weak, "If the matter becomes serious, I'm afraid that other salt merchants in the capital will laugh at our family. Now is the critical time to compete for Yanyin, and there must be no mistakes."

"I will send a message to the foster father as soon as possible, and let the foster father handle this matter."

She must also lobby Su Yueling to cooperate with her as soon as possible before her adoptive father enters Beijing.For the sake of this credit, the adoptive father might be willing to forgive her for the mistakes she made.As long as the Qu family can get the Yanyin smoothly and have Su Yueling's handle, let alone [-] yuan, they can earn one million taels a year in the future.

What Qu Lin didn't know was that the main house of the Qu family in Huazhou was also treated the same as her. All the things in the warehouse were looted and emptied, leaving only a silk flower of white lotus on the spot.

The Qu family was so angry that he reported the case, vowing to tear the hateful thief into pieces.Their losses in this wave have exceeded two million taels. The only consolation for them is that things like land title deeds have to be backed up in the government, even if they are stolen, it is useless.So these thieves only stole money and property, and the land title was kept.

The local government in Huazhou was attentive and dispatched many police officers to investigate the matter.After several days of investigation, they finally guessed from some clues deliberately left by the White Lotus Sect that the Bailian Sect was most likely responsible for the incident. The head of the local police immediately came to tell Qu Chengzhou the news.

Qu Chengzhou blurted out, "Are you sure it was the work of the White Lotus Sect?"

The catcher said: "Nine times out of ten, I didn't expect the White Lotus Sect to reappear after being silent for so long. I never heard of them stealing riches before."

Moreover, the ability of the White Lotus Sect is not small, stealing so much money without anyone noticing.Is the drug in their hands that powerful?

"Did you offend them?"

Qu Chengzhou shook his head hastily, "We have nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect, so how could we offend them?"

"Or did your people offend them?" the policeman continued to ask.

Qu Chengzhou still couldn't figure it out.They are not stupid, how could they take the initiative to oppose the White Lotus Sect.The White Lotus Sect's influence in Daxia is not small, and they are also secretive. They are stupid to take the initiative to offend such an organization.

and many more……

Qu Chengzhou suddenly remembered something - his adopted daughter Qu Lin, in order to have a relationship with Yuan Baoshu, had some female guards pretend to be members of the White Lotus Sect to kidnap Yuan Baoshu.

Couldn't the White Lotus Sect come to you because of this?
Qu Chengzhou could barely breathe - this was a loss of more than two million taels, how could he bear it?
No matter how rich the Qu family is, two million taels is not a number that can be ignored. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.

After the yamen servant left, he gritted his teeth and said, "Pack up my luggage, I have to go to the capital."

However, when the luggage was almost packed, Qu Chengzhou couldn't leave immediately. His wife told him in tears that there was no money in the public account, and he had to sell some of the land to raise money.

The Qu family needs money to open up so many mouths, and their money has just been swept away.Although the warehouses of the other houses were also swept away, they were not as bad as their big house, and even the bank notes he had hidden were gone.But the other houses were not only unwilling to take out the money, but had to go to the public account for everything they bought.

Qu Chengzhou gritted his teeth and could only sell [-] mu of fertile land to pass the hurdle in front of him.
