Chapter 952 Discovery
After hearing this, Uncle Zhong immediately walked over, and then saw a finger-wide gap opened in the side of Liu's bed, he was overjoyed and turned his head to ask the servant girl, "Where did you touch just now?"

"A round protrusion on the inner side of the head of the bed." The servant girl said.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhong stepped forward and pressed it again, and sure enough, the secret door slowly opened, revealing a shelf embedded in the wall like a two-person-wide bookshelf, on which were placed some booklets and some precious jewelry boxes.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhong hurriedly climbed onto the bed, and carefully checked the booklet inside. It was the total income of all industries in each month of these years, as well as the annual summary.

As for the jewelry box, it is full of some precious jade jewelry and some precious bare gems.

After reading it, Uncle Zhong restored the things to the original, because he always felt that something was missing, but he really couldn't remember what it was for a while.

Then he looked at the shelf seriously again, and finally found a clue on the top floor, because there was a shallow booklet-shaped trace, and he immediately understood that one or more booklets were missing, and it was probably the last book he was looking for. important stuff.

It's a pity that they were one step too late and were taken away, but with Liu's cautious thinking, there were no more than three people in this place.

Mrs. Liu is dead, and Zisu has not confessed, so only the Hou Ye and the second young lady or the third young master are left.

After Gu Jinyu and the third young master buried the Liu family, one went to the academy, and the other went back to the palace and never came back again, so there was only one person left who was faithful.

Thinking of this, he didn't bother anymore, but asked the boy to come over with a pen and paper. After he registered the contents inside, he asked people to move the things to the old waiter's courtyard.

As for the other valuables in the house, Uncle Zhong didn't let anyone touch them, but called Qin Surong to come in and register them.

After eating at noon, when most of the servants went back to the house to rest, Uncle Zhong went to the backyard and investigated one by one, wondering if the missing booklet was taken by Master Hou.

But after some investigation, no one knew, and in the end they could only return without success.

Seeing this, the old marquis pointed to the booklet and said, "If you can't find it, forget it, it's nothing more than the ledger of her embezzlement, and the whereabouts of the money.

We can calculate the general ledger by ourselves. As for the whereabouts of the money, we should check with the treasurers of various industries, and we should be able to gain something. "

"Yes, the old slave will go and arrange it now." Uncle Zhong paused at this point and said: "Since the other party has taken the booklet away, it means that the shopkeepers everywhere have already explained, and we are afraid that we will not be able to find out. .”

The old marquis paused for a moment and said: "Then search with great fanfare, but first check the shopkeepers everywhere, I don't believe that everyone is monolithic."

Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment and said, "Old slave understands, let's investigate now."

"Well, when checking, if you find that your hands and feet are moving too much, or you have ulterior motives, you can delete them directly.

In this way, I don't believe that the person who took the booklet can still sit still. As long as he moves, we can find him out. "

"Yes." Uncle Zhong responded, turned and walked out.

But in my heart, I mourned silently for the shopkeepers Zhuangtou and the like everywhere, because Liu's movement was so big, so in order to win over these shopkeepers, they must have gained certain benefits from it.

With such an investigation now, I am afraid that more than half of them will be defeated.
