Department of Punishment, Su Huangzhe's official office.
Chen Dong stood with his hands behind his back, "The girl you are looking for is not simple. What do you want to do?"
Su Huangzhe sat in the chair, "What? How did she offend you? I think that girl is so scared of you that she avoids you even when walking."
"She was checking the tribute tea case in the archives today. Fortunately, I found her." Chen Dong walked to the table, "I don't care what you want to do, but don't let this girl get into trouble."
It turns out that what she meant by studying old cases was the tribute tea case.
Su Huangzhe knocked on the table with one hand while thinking.
"This girl is very courageous. She deceived her superiors and secretly rescued Luo Qiaoniang's daughter, Zheng Duo'er." Chen Dong said, "If this case hadn't been retried, she would have accomplished this."
"Is there anything else?" Su Huangzhe turned around and said, "This girl is indeed a bit weird. I don't know where she learned this ability to push the case. But I sent someone to check her, and the An family is just an ordinary tea house, there is nothing suspicious. . I began to suspect that she was a craftsman, but now I don’t think it looks like it.”
"Please take good care of your people. Don't ruin things." Chen Dong said coldly.
Su Huangzhe's eyes darkened, "Do you think this girl is also after five hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Chen Dong took a few steps forward: "What do you know?"
"This girl has been trying to trick me a few times, just because she wants to see old cases. I thought she was just curious, but after you said that, I thought about it. The last person Luo Qiao Niang saw was her." Su Huangzhe said playfully: "You said she was running for Luo Qiaoniang. Is it a coincidence or did you know something in advance?"
"The relationship between Luo Qiaoniang and the five hundred thousand taels of silver is very hidden. I don't think ordinary people can know this. Dai Chang is not good at proposing cases, but he is absolutely good at arithmetic. He calculated the thirteen banks that He Qing had access to. After checking the records of the past fifteen years, I basically figured out the movement of He Qing's money."
"He Qing didn't know until his death that Luo Qiaoniang secretly transferred five hundred thousand taels of silver under his nose. If you say that An Ying could know Luo Qiaoniang's tricks in advance, I think it's impossible."
"Oh, how did Lao Dai find out?"
"The technique is not very sophisticated, but patience is better. The payment for goods delivered by Xixia is in silver and in kind, and the silver is strictly controlled. In fact, the amount that can come in is not large. The amount in the early stage is not large, and the silver can be dealt with. In the later stage, it mainly relies on Real object. He Qing asked Luo Qiaoniang to collect and resell this piece of goods at the border in the name of the Zheng family. It changed hands several times, and the physical object was converted into silver and returned to his hands."
"Firstly, Luo Qiaoniang has increased the number of times she has changed hands, making reverse tracing difficult and He Qing's accounting difficult. Secondly, it will take a very long time for her payment to be withdrawn. Before the money has been transferred this year, it will be the second year. That is, Every year, a sum of money is left in Luo Qiaoniang's hands, and the amount of this money grows larger and larger as time goes by."
"He Qing should also feel this. The housekeeper of the He family has urged Luo Qiaoniang several times, but she was deceived and left because the accounts were not completed."
"So that's it. Now that we know who transferred the money and how, wouldn't we be able to find out the whereabouts of the money quickly? Doesn't it look like you?"
Chen Dong nodded and said: "The Luo family killed so quickly that not a single person was left alive. The money seemed to have disappeared. Moreover, Dai Chang speculated that if Luo Qiaoniang had been operating the money, with Luo Qiaoniang's ability, the money would If you continue to make money, the amount may be larger.”
Chen Dong looked at Su Huangzhe, "This money has been rolling in, but I don't know whose hands it is."
Su Huangzhe was tapping on the table while thinking deeply.
"The Zheng family's tea shop also has activities in the Minzhou area. Did you see it?"
Chen Dong nodded, "Dai Chang said the same thing. Minzhou's overseas merchants often smuggle, and it is extremely difficult to detect. He feels that the best way to hide the funds is to transfer them to other merchants in the form of payment. And that merchant is actually controlled by Luo Qiaoniang. He Now the main thing is to check the Zheng family's business dealings in Minzhou and check all the merchants with whom they have intersections one by one. Check the payment and delivery of the goods. "
Su Huangzhe shook his head, "This is a good idea, but we shouldn't be able to find anything. How can we check the delivered goods after more than ten years? Grain, tea, and silk are all consumables. Most of the rare treasures coming from Minzhou flow into the houses of dignitaries. , it is even more difficult to inspect. Minzhou is under the control of the King of Min again, so Huang Old Fox is afraid that he will keep an eye on it even more closely."
Chen Dong was silent and looked back at Su Huangzhe, "Then how do you think we should check?"
"Wait." Su Huangzhe looked at Chen Dong with a smile, but his eyes were firm.
Chen Dong smiled knowingly, "I understand."
The two looked at each other in silence. Chen Dong was about to leave when Su Huangzhe asked with a smile, "I heard that Princess Yanqing went to your house several times and was kicked out by you?"
Chen Dong sneered, "Why, Mr. Su also likes to hear these neighborhood rumors?"
Su Huangzhe sighed, "Your marriage to Yanqing has been delayed until now. What do you think? Yanqing is already 20 this year, and her period of filial piety has passed. Your marriage will be held before the end of the year anyway."
Chen Dong's eyes were cold, "I don't care."
Su Huangzhe looked at him and said, "You said you have a good face and a little smile. How many girls in the capital admire you. You must have a dead face."
Su Huangzhe leaned back with his hands on the pillow, "You should leave quickly. The yellow fox's people are watching. After staying for a long time, he became suspicious again."
Chen Dong hummed, and then kicked the door open. With a clang, the door frame faintly shattered.
Su Huangzhe looked at it and thought to himself, Adong, it's just a show, why are you really using so much effort? I have a fine carved door.
The government servants working nearby leaned over and looked quietly towards this side.
"Since Mr. Su is so unreasonable, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. This case of mine was assigned by the Holy Spirit, and all other cases of the Criminal Department will be put aside for me."
Su Huangzhe's voice drifted lazily from inside, "You have taken away the personnel of the Criminal Department. I only have a few people from Group A here. What else do you want? Why don't you transfer me to work for you?"
Chen Dong sneered and left without looking back.
Not long after, Guo Xi and Yun Pan went to Su Huangzhe's place.
"Retrial the Fan family kidnapping case?" Su Huangzhe raised his head and looked at the two of them, "You don't look like hard-working people? Why do you suddenly have this idea? Huh?"
Guo Xi chuckled and said: "Didn't An Sizhi discover a few doubts? I think this case is also a knot in my mind. At the beginning, the Jingcheng Yamen, the Jingcheng Military and Horse Department and the Ministry of Justice jointly failed to solve the case. The whereabouts of the victim are still unknown, becoming There is an unsolved case in the Ministry of Justice. If it can be solved, it will be an explanation to the Fan family."
"I'm just curious about what kind of thief can break through the defenses of the three major yamen and come in and out freely." Yun Pan said, "This girl An Ying has a good mind, maybe she can make some discoveries. Besides, it doesn't matter if she can't break through it." If the performance is not completed, then it is an unsolved case."
