Jinyi Music

Chapter 574
Silian can be regarded as having a city mansion. Her face changed at that time, but she didn't make a sound, she just patted again. The bag containing food was bulging, but the tentacles were hard and angular. Food!

Mrs. Liu is a meticulous person, and after Si Lian patted and patted again and again, she finally noticed something was wrong, so she asked,

"what happened?"

Silian hesitated for a moment, and said,

"How come...it doesn't seem to contain food?"

Liu was taken aback,
"It's not food, what is it?"

Silian shook her head, turned her head and asked Hearts behind her,
"Can Hearts carry sharp objects?"

Hearts nodded, took out a dagger from her waist, and swiped at the grain bag, the bag burst open, and the contents fell out, splashing a puff of smoke and dust, but It was a pile of dusty gravel!

Silian was taken aback for a moment, and Liu's eyes widened even more.

"This...what's the matter?"

Mrs. Liu was inexplicably astonished, this grain was sent into the basement under her own eyes, how could it turn into gravel?

Si Lian was also shocked and astonished, and hurriedly motioned to Mama Wang to open the rest of the bags. Mama Wang went over and opened them one by one. The bags were full of gravel, and none of them contained grain. Seeing this, Mrs. Liu was anxious Angry and shocked,
"Someone! Somebody!"

This room called several tall and strong servants, moved all the bags outside, and looked inside one by one, only the last dozen or so bags were stored grain, Liu Shi and Silian looked at each other, both a little puzzled, Mrs. Liu was even more anxious. This food was entrusted to her by her daughter-in-law when she went south, but now the master is about to come to collect the food, but the contents inside have turned into gravel. How can she explain this?

This full storehouse of grain was not stolen by someone in one or two bags. If someone was behind this kind of handwriting, even Liu himself wouldn't believe it?

Who is the biggest in this Mu Mansion?
Naturally, it was her old Mrs. Liu herself, who else did it if it wasn't her, maybe the daughter-in-law is already suspicious of herself at this time!

You must know that the price of grain in the capital is one day a day, how much money can be exchanged for this warehouse of grain!
The more Mrs. Liu thought about it, the more anxious she became, and the more anxious she became, the more angry she became. She has been in charge of the house for many years, and she claims to be a good housekeeper. With such a big deal, this... this... this is simply to wipe out all her achievements of the past 30 to [-] years!

When has Mrs. Liu been so angry in so many years, she was so angry that her body trembled for a while, her face turned from white to red, and then from red to white again. She softened to the side, Si Lian saw the situation was not good and hurried forward to support her,
"Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law!"

The maids and women behind all came to help, Si Lian looked at Liu Shi, her complexion turned pale, her eyes hung, her chest heaved violently, and her throat was rumbling, she was out of breath!

Hastily reaching out to pinch her, Liu Shi took a sharp breath in pain,

"Cough cough..."

Coughing out the thick phlegm in her throat a few times, she finally recovered. She opened her eyes and looked at Si Lian, and tears fell down in the blink of an eye.

"Old eighth daughter-in-law!"

Mrs. Liu took Si Lian's hand, her lips moved to speak, Si Lian hurriedly said,
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you don't need to talk about it. The daughter-in-law naturally believes in you. There is something strange about this matter. We still need to discuss it in the long run. Let's go out first and then talk about it!"

Mrs. Liu nodded, and was supported by the people on the left and right to go out. Si Lian gave an order from behind,
"Everyone is not allowed to move anything in here, and they are not allowed to walk around indiscriminately. Exit along the original path..."

She walked last with Heart, and after the others had finished walking, she closed the warehouse door with a bang, and Silian handed the key to Heart,

"You must take good care of this key, except me...no one can give it to you!"

Everyone followed Mrs. Liu back to the main courtyard, Mrs. Liu drank two sips of hot tea, and finally recovered, Yiyi lay on the couch and looked at Silian, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not speak, but they were all thinking about this incident From the beginning to the end, what went wrong, so that all the grain in the bag was replaced by gravel!
Silian was the first to speak,

"Mother-in-law, this matter... According to my daughter-in-law, I'm afraid I have to start from the beginning!"

She thought for a while and said,
"The grain came from Tongzhou, and how it was transported to the mansion. There was a mistake in the warehouse in Tongzhou, and there was a mistake when it was transported to the capital. After entering the warehouse, there was a mistake in the house. How many people know about this matter, and who can enter at will, all have to be investigated!"

Liu nodded,

"The old eighth daughter-in-law is right, this matter really needs to be investigated from the beginning!"

It's not that she intends to shirk responsibility, it's just that this matter is really strange!

There are more than a dozen sacks of grain, which can be seen. They should be placed outside as a storefront, and they should be randomly checked by someone. When they were later moved into the basement, because they were placed outside, they were pressed down. , while the inside was changed to the outside. After entering the warehouse, Mrs. Liu ordered someone to close the warehouse, and the key was kept by herself. With her prestige as a housekeeper for so many years, no one would dare to play tricks behind her back, let alone What's more, with so much food, if you want to replace it all overnight, how can you do it without sending out dozens of strong men?
After thinking about it, Mrs. Liu felt that something went wrong before the grain was put into storage, but she didn't dare to mention it first, in case her daughter-in-law felt that she was shirking responsibility and using sophistication.

But fortunately, the eighth daughter-in-law is used to being smart and sensible. When she said this, she must have thought of something with herself!

Mrs. Liu looked at Si Lian very relievedly, and asked,
"According to the meaning of the eighth daughter-in-law, what do you think is wrong?"

Silian thought for a while and said,

"My daughter-in-law thinks that someone stole the food before it was put into storage..."

I thought about it again,
"It's just that it's been too long, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out!"

But no matter how difficult it is, we have to check. Although she Jia Silian is gentle, she is not the one who is willing to suffer such a big loss. Two ships of grain can save lives at this time of year!
Thinking of this, Si Lian secretly hated,

"Don't let me find this person, let me find him, and I won't let you down lightly!"

There was no further hesitation at the moment, please, Mrs. Liu still closed the storeroom tightly and no one was allowed to enter or leave. She took the key away by herself. She went back to discuss with Mou Biao. Mrs. Liu nodded again and again,
"Yes, yes, tell Lao Ba about this matter, Lao Ba must have a way to recover the food!"

She was in a hurry, how could she forget it!
What is their family background, but they specialize in this line of work, who dares to break ground at this old age, isn't this impatient to live!

After all, Mrs. Liu is a woman in the inner house, and she still needs a man to support her. Once her husband left, she seemed to have lost her backbone. Now that something happened to her, she suddenly lost her position. Only then did she realize that her concubine is the commander of Jin Yiwei!

Not to mention the grain of these two ships, even the grain of ten ships, he can find a way to get it back!
Si Lian nodded, but she also understood in her heart,
"It's been such a long time, I'm afraid that the person who swindled the grain has already taken advantage of the high grain price and turned the grain into silver!"

You can't chase her back, but she...she must be caught!
She is used to being calm, without showing anything on her face, she nodded her head in agreement, and said confidently to Mrs. Liu,
"Don't worry, mother-in-law!"

Therefore, the Liu family will control those who know today, and they must keep their mouths tight, and they must not leak a word. They also secretly sent a guard to watch the movement of the basement. Maybe if the news is leaked today, the person who secretly exchanged food will come back. What about viewing?
Silian turned around Mao'er Hutong, and Dang even sent someone to call Mou Biao back to his residence. When Mou Biao came back, the young couple locked themselves in the room and discussed for a long time...

After staying like this until midnight that day, Silian changed into light clothes, cuffs and trousers were all tied tightly with cloth tape, and her hair was also wrapped in cloth, but she went out with Mou Biao...

Mou Biao hugged Silian's slender waist, pointing his toes, and took his wife through the streets and alleys in the dark night of the capital, flying over the eaves and walls, as fast as lightning. It was the first time in his life that Silian had grown so big. At first she closed her eyes tightly in fear, but after she got used to it, she opened her eyes and looked around, watching the roofs and high walls passing by with a curious face, Mou Biao asked her with a smile,

"But interesting?"

Silian nodded again and again, regretfully saying,

"It's a pity that I didn't learn martial arts from elementary school, and I can't learn how to excel like you..."

Mou Biao laughed and said,

"What's so difficult about it, I will take you with me in the future, and it's the same high and low!"

After all, he led her to jump up to the wall of Mou Mansion, and then jumped straight down. The sudden weightlessness made Si Lian subconsciously close her eyes, and hugged him tightly until her feet landed on the ground. Opening his eyes, he was already in the backyard of Mou Mansion. Mou Biao looked around, shook his head and sighed.

"Since Dad left, all the guards in this mansion have withdrawn, and the guards are much worse!"

In the past, when Mu Bin was there, all the people from Beizhen Fusi were used. Now that Mu Bin is gone, this Mou Mansion is still the former Mou Mansion, but the people in it are no longer qualified to use Jinyiwei!

The Mou Mansion on the other side of Mao'er Hutong can use Jinyiwei to protect the courtyard, but firstly the house is not big, and secondly, it is near the Jinyiwei Yamen, and the husband and wife wanted to keep quiet, so they didn't send any more people.

The two avoided the eyes and ears of the patrolling courtyard and sneaked into the basement of the backyard. Silian touched the key, and Mou Biao took a torch from the wall and lit it. He laughed and said,

"This is the first time, you have to be a thief to enter your own house!"

Silian smiled,
"Isn't this afraid that the investigation with great fanfare will alarm the thieves?"

The two stepped into the basement, and Mou Biao closed the door with his hands back. The two began to search for clues in the vault inch by inch...

The first Silian went back and told the story to Mou Biao, and said,

"I guess most of the food was stolen before it was put into storage, and I want to find out from Tongzhou..."

Mou Biao thought for a while and shook his head,

"Of course it is necessary to start from the beginning, but in my opinion, this food exchange may not have happened on the way, it is possible that it happened in the mansion...
