"You guys wait before drawing conclusions and making decisions." Song Jue waved his hands towards several people, "Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen, I can't understand what you are talking about at all. What you mean is that in the past month or so, The strange thieves who are rampant in Jiangnan have not stolen any valuables, but only some inconspicuous gadgets? And these things of theirs have not been released to the market?" Seeing the three people nodding at the same time, he showed a very confused expression, "Currently How many items were stolen, do you have a number?”
"I remember..." Bai Meng touched his chin, "They reported there that there should be seven or eight hundred kilograms of food, more than a hundred pieces of silk and satin, about fifty pieces of ceramics and jade, and a small amount. The gold shop reported that jewelry worth a total of more than 3,000 taels of silver was missing. However, police officers and government officials from various prefectures, in cooperation with the local garrison, searched for many days, but no clues were found. As I said just now, these things are not at all It has not flowed into the market. Everything else is fine. Silk, porcelain, jade, and jewelry can all be kept, but those seven or eight hundred kilograms of food..." He looked at Song Jue, then at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha , "Most of them are not easy to store. It's not easy to digest them in a short time, right?"
"It's not easy. They should have their own channels to sell the stolen goods, or they must have accepted someone's entrustment to steal these things. As for silks, gold, silver, jade and jewelry, they are still what ordinary thieves would choose. Only when food is involved Yes, usually no one would choose, unless they are hungry." Shen Haolin looked at the other three people, "Do you think this Phantom Thief will fall into this category?"
"No." Shen Cha shook his head, "It's strange because he doesn't know. I don't understand why food accounts for the vast majority of what he or they stole."
"Didn't Shadow find any clues?" Song Jue turned to look at Shen Cha, "You definitely won't let such an interesting thing go, right?"
"This is for sure. Even if I'm not interested, I still have to check this." Shen Cha nodded, "After my brother and I learned about this matter, we sent a message to the shadows in Jiangnan and asked them to investigate in secret. "
"What's the result?"
"I haven't found any clues... Oh, no, there is still something to gain. The time when this monster thief commits crimes is relatively regular. There is about a gap of three to five days between two crimes. During this gap, we can take a good look Take advantage of it." Shen Cha shrugged and looked at Song Jue, "What do those shops do? Are they within the scope of this strange thief's crimes?"
"It should be there." Song Jue thought for a long time but couldn't remember which shops were owned by Song Yuesuan and Song Junran. Finally, he asked people to invite Pan and Cui, the two father-in-laws, "Song Yuesuan and Song Junran, two father-in-laws." still remember?"
"Remember, remember." Eunuch Cui nodded, "There is no bastard who can succeed in assassinating the late emperor."
"When my father sent them to the southwest mountains, did he leave a few shops for them to meet their daily expenses?" Song Jue patted the two father-in-laws gently, "Do you remember which shops they were in? ?"
Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan looked at each other. Eunuch Cui confessed to Song Jue and went out for a while. When he came back, he had a small book in his hand. He opened the small book and found the records of Song Yuesuan and Song Junran. The page about the shop's situation was handed to Song Jue.
"These are the ones." Eunuch Cui looked at Song Jue, then at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Bai Meng, "Are you planning to deal with them?"
"Why do you say that?" Shen Cha poured two cups of hot tea, walked up to Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan, and handed them the teacup in his hand, "Do you particularly dislike them?"
"Hey, how should I say this? It's not that I don't like them, it's that I hate them from the bottom of my heart. These two have been restless since they were young. Every time they enter the palace, their eyes will wander around, wondering what bad ideas they are planning. ." Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan thanked Shen Cha, "Has your Majesty already said something about them?" Seeing Song Jue nodding, he continued, "What you know is only what the late emperor wanted you to know. Yes, there are many darker things that I haven’t told you.”
"Oh?" Several children suddenly became energetic, "You two father-in-laws, sit down quickly and tell us."
"You guys are really too curious." The two father-in-laws looked at them, "Do you really want to listen?"
"Yes." Song Jue looked at them seriously, "They are now related to the matter we are investigating."
"I know, what should I say? These two brothers..." Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan shook their heads at the same time, "They are so crazy that people can no longer understand it. Before the assassination by Gong Yan, they had already done a lot of crazy things. Bribing Gong The chamberlains and maids there set fire to the harem, drugged the ingredients in the imperial dining room, and sent people to sneak into the late emperor and his concubines’ bedroom in the middle of the night to play tricks on them.”
When she heard this, Shen Cha couldn't help coughing twice. This was a trick she used to deal with Wanyan Ping. She didn't expect that Song Yuesui and Song Junran used it to deal with the late emperor.
Song Jue and Shen Haolin also thought of this. They raised their eyebrows at Shen Cha and smiled evilly at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Eunuch Cui looked at them curiously, "Is there something wrong?"
"No, no, no." Shen Cha denied repeatedly, "You continue."
"The first two are actually preventable, as long as you pay attention, but the last one is particularly abominable and really hard to guard against."
"Tried and tried." Shen Cha nodded. Judging from Wanyanping's current state, this method is very effective.
Eunuch Cui glanced at her and said, "Have you used it before?"
"Yeah!" Shen Cha looked very embarrassed, "Using this method to deal with Wanyan Ping will make her look more haggard."
"The general's approach is right, and foreigners should be dealt with." Cui Eunuch showed a loving smile towards Shen Cha, "Now that I have used it, I know that this method will not be effective in a day or two. They have been struggling. For less than half a month, he would come out to play tricks every night when people were sleeping, making everyone in the palace uneasy. It was also because he didn't sleep well at night and lacked energy during the day, so it was easy to make mistakes. Once something happened If there are any mistakes, it will be easy for them to seize the opportunity. And they did catch it a few times, but we responded quickly and did not let them succeed."
"It turned out to be a series of traps. I learned from it." Shen Cha smiled. If Wanyanping was dishonest, she could follow suit.
Seeing Shen Cha's expression, Shen Haolin, Song Jue, and Bai Meng looked at each other helplessly. Wan Yanping had better be obedient and not cause trouble, otherwise the future will be even more difficult.
"However, the late emperor was very kind to these two brothers. Even if there was an assassination incident, he did not kill them all. He still left them face and a shop to survive." Eunuch Pan patted the small book. , "There are nine in total, most of them are related to food and drink, which can ensure that they have a worry-free life."
Song Jue looked at Shen Cha, "How are you doing? Do you want to do it?"
"Do it! Since we have such convenience, wouldn't we be sorry for ourselves if we don't do it?"
