Pan Xiaoxian watched Gan Jinlian leave happily, his face getting colder and colder: "Five hundred taels of silver is enough."
Five hundred taels of silver is not a small sum of money. Pan Xiaoxian has already thought about where to find such a huge amount of silver.
"Master Ciao, the money has been sent. You must watch it carefully and don't lose it."
Hongxiu drove a carriage, took several officers and soldiers, and arrived at the girls' school with a box of silver.
Pan Xiaoxian opened the silver box and saw thousands of taels of silver neatly arranged inside. He smiled: "I'll lock it in the warehouse."
According to normal circumstances, after receiving the silver, the weight of the silver should be measured with a scale as soon as possible.
Pan Xiaoxian just counted the amount of silver and locked it in the warehouse without any thought of weighing it.
The silver that Hongxiu sent every once in a while was all official silver, fifty taels a piece, and the seal of the Jinling prefect was printed on the bottom of the silver.
There will be no shortage of money.
Pan Xiaoxian's plan is to use the official silver sent every once in a while.
If you steal things from people's homes, no matter how much you steal, you will be put in jail for a few years.
It's different if you steal something from the government. No matter how little you steal, especially if you steal a tael of money from the government, you will have to spend ten years in jail.
Not to mention a full five hundred taels of silver.
Pan Xiaoxian locked the iron door of the warehouse in front of Hongxiu.
There are two keys in total. One key to the outer door is kept by Pan Xiaoxian, and the other key to the inner door is kept by Hong Xiu.
Hongxiu put away the key and left. When several officers and soldiers were not paying attention, she secretly gave the key to Pan Xiaoxian.
Although she didn't know what Pan Xiaoxian was doing with the key, Hongxiu still gave it to him without telling anyone.
Hong Xiu risked beheading and still gave the key.
Because Pan Xiaoxian is the young master Ciao.
That night, Pan Xiaoxian took advantage of the fact that no one was around in the middle of the night and secretly opened the two large iron doors of the warehouse and stole five hundred taels of silver.
"I'm exhausted."
Pan Xiaoxian hid the silver in a hidden place. He was exhausted and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Something over thirty kilograms is really heavy."
There are no officers and soldiers stationed near the warehouse of the Women's School. First, because many rich ladies live in the Women's School, it is inconvenient to arrange officers and soldiers.
The second reason is that there is a dog King Mushroom Yellow Leopard in the girls' school. Any method of stealing the dog will have no effect on the Mushroom Yellow Leopard, and it is impossible for the Mushroom Yellow Leopard to sleep to death.
As long as someone dares to run in and steal money, Guhuangbao will bark twice, and many police officers and soldiers will rush in.
But Guhuangbao listened to Pan Xiaoxian the most.
Pan Xiaoxian hid the money, dodged the patrolling officers and soldiers on the street, and threw a note towards the inn where Gan Jinlian lived.
"Ouch!"
Gan Jinlian was hit on the head, and the shrew cursed: "Whoever gets stabbed a thousand times, just throw a stone in."
Du Qing was also awakened. He sat up leaning on the wall and saw a note on the ground: "Maybe the money has arrived. Please open it and take a look."
Gan Jinlian ignored the shrew and ran over and opened the note.
She didn't know how to read, and country women usually didn't know how to read.
Gan Jinlian quickly handed the note to Du Qing and looked at him eagerly, hoping that the words written in the note were related to silver.
Du Qing just looked at it for a few times, his face full of ecstasy: "Pan Xiaoxian really sent the silver. Let's go and get the silver tomorrow morning."
Gan Jinlian couldn't wait any longer: "Don't wait until tomorrow morning, let's go now."
After Du Qing's life was rotten, his character became bitter and harsh: "You are stupid. There are officers and soldiers patrolling outside. How can you take away the money?"
Gan Jinlian glared at him, thinking that she still had to count on Du Qing to take away the money, so she didn't curse.
Gan Jinlian was afraid that Du Qing would sneak away alone at night, so she went to get the money alone.
Gan Jinlian didn't sleep all night.
Du Qing also didn't sleep all night.
"not good!"
Pan Xiaoxian suddenly shouted and said in panic: "The money was stolen."
Money from the girls' school has never been stolen. This incident quickly aroused great tension in the government, because the palace was concerned about the situation of the girls' school.
In order to find the money as soon as possible, Zhang Fengyi, the chief catcher, was directly assigned to track down who had stolen the money.
Small things like stealing money are generally not investigated by Zhang Fengyi.
The cases that Zhang Fengyi is responsible for are all major cases involving human lives. Small things like catching thieves are not her responsibility.
Zhang Fengyi returned to the girls' school and looked at Pan Xiaoxian with a strange look in her eyes, as if she had guessed something.
Just a look made Pan Xiaoxian nervous immediately. His heart was beating very fast. Don't involve him in stealing money.
Zhang Fengyi turned her head and asked someone to fetch the mushroom yellow leopard: "This kind of dog king among hounds is good at finding prey. The silver sent by Hongxiu will be coated with a special spice, making it easy to trace."
As Zhang Fengyi took the same spice in her hand and placed it near Guhuangbao's nose, Guhuangbao quickly ran out.
Zhang Fengyi followed closely with the policemen and successfully found the silver.
At the same time, they found Gan Jinlian and Du Qing who were transporting silver and leaving Jinling.
Gan Jinlian saw a group of police officers blocking the carriage and became nervous: "What are you doing? I'm going home to visit relatives today. I'm not breaking the law."
The moment Zhang Fengyi saw Gan Jinlian and Du Qing, she immediately didn't understand and waved her hand: "Catch these two people back."
Gan Jinlian and Du Qing were caught in the yamen, and a large box of silver was carried into the lobby of the yamen.
"explain!"
The official took the gold hall wood and slammed the table hard: "Do you have any accomplices? When did you steal the five hundred taels of official silver?"
When Gan Jinlian heard the word official silver, she was frightened and cried quickly: "I didn't steal the silver. All the money was given to me by Pan Xiaoxian."
When it came to theft, the officials did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so they quickly invited the chief catcher Zhang Fengyi, who had to make the decision on this matter.
Pan Xiaoxian stood nearby, as if he had suffered a great injustice, and said angrily: "Tell me, did Wu Gui arrange for you to frame me."
Pan Xiaoxian cleverly took advantage of the incompatibility between him and Wu Gui.
Wu Gui was hit by an arrow while lying down.
Gan Jinlian quickly shook her head: "I don't know any turtle, or a bastard, it's the silver that Pan Xiaoxian gave me."
Zhang Fengyi asked a very crucial question: "What evidence do you have that proves that the money was given to you by Pan Xiaoxian."
Gan Jinlian was speechless and could only bring out the only piece of evidence: "This note must have been written by Pan Xiaoxian. You will know after comparing the handwriting."
Zhang Fengyi took the note, glanced at it, and threw it away: "It's not a written word, it's a sentence cut from a book."
Gan Jinlian and Du Qing were completely panicked and started crying, insisting that they had been framed by Pan Xiaoxian.
Pan Xiaoxian shook his head: "You are so brave, you dare to steal the money sent to the girls' school from the palace."
When the official heard the word "palace", his whole body was agitated and he shouted loudly: "Come here, put us in prison. You two thieves will die in prison in this life!"
