[The state after the hangover is really bad, and the third one is moved to tomorrow. 】

But he said that as soon as Sun Shaozong returned to the mansion that night, he received three news first.

One is that Jia Zheng has already let go, and Shuntian Mansion will deal with Qiuwen impartially-he can say this, in fact, he has spared Qiuwen’s life.

Of course, even if the death penalty is unavoidable, it is inevitable to serve as an army and be exiled for thousands of miles.

And now the fighting in southern Xinjiang is raging…

If he was sent to the Yungui army to ‘work’, I’m afraid it would be better to die.

But this is already the biggest concession Jia Zheng can make, and as an irrelevant outsider, Sun Shaozong has no reason to continue to intervene.

The second news is that the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that went north with the army has been officially shipped to Sun’s Mansion, and is now being counted and liquidated in Curry.

At the same time, many of the earthen rituals presented by Huguang officials and gentry were sent over. The treasures of them have been listed, only waiting for Sun Shaozong to browse them in his spare time.

The last news is that Princess Beijing was finally diagnosed as pregnant. She was overjoyed by the midlife of the man, so she decided to host a banquet three days later to entertain relatives and friends from all walks of life. Sun Shaozong was also invited.

This one……

He should indeed go over and take a look.

…………

After entering his small courtyard, Sun Shaozong felt a little strangely quiet. He turned around inside and out. As expected, except for a few left-behind maids, no one with a name or a surname was at home.

Ruan Rong and Xiangling went to Jia Yingchun’s house to discuss the date of marrying Xing Xiuyan. Second sister You heard that the treasury contained more than ten thousand taels of silver and many rare antiques, so they took their two children over to see. Rare.

This Chengrili was surrounded by Yingying and Yanyan, and she calmed down at first, and she was really not used to it.

Left and right are idle, Sun Shaozong took Frostmourne and practiced some routines in the yard, and the power should be flexible.

Zhengshu was on the rise, and suddenly I heard that the butler Zhao Zhongji was asking for a meeting outside.

Sun Shaozong put his sword on the weapon rack temporarily, took the towel from the maid’s hand, and went outside while wiping his sweat.

Just about to ask Zhao Zhongji what is the urgent matter, he suddenly saw it. He was holding something very familiar: a dark, stiff, shiny post.

Black posts? !

Sun Shaozong hurriedly overcame him, looked at it several times, then turned back and went straight to the small kitchen, set aside a few charcoal fires, and threw the post on it.

Sure enough, after the post burned, it left a slapped “injustice”.

Really black posts!

But this is unclear, why did a black post pop up suddenly?

“Back to the second master.”

Seeing Sun Shaozong’s gloomy face, Zhao Zhongji naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly explained: “This post was found in the box with the seal when the silver was just counted. Because I always felt something was wrong, I brought it for invitation. You have a look.”

Found it in the silver box?

“Let’s go and look at the mansion.”

Sun Shaozong made a decisive decision and rushed to Sun’s warehouse with Zhao Zhongji.

This warehouse is located to the west of the backyard. It is usually guarded by eight people and nine dogs in an inverted shift.

Right now the guard and the dog were waiting outside the door, but inside were a few mandarin ducks, Siqi, and pomegranate, who were taking people to take inventory.

It turned out that this group of women’s soldiers took the lead, and it is no wonder that Second Sister You did not shy away and brought the children over to join in the fun.

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside, all the women and a few male servants gathered around to greet him.

Sun Shaozong immediately asked: “Where did you find that post? Who was the first to find it?”

After hearing this, the women looked at each other, and finally pomegranate asked cautiously: “Second Lord, could this be the black post?”

It turned out that they had guessed this way, so they asked someone to forward it to Sun Shaozong.

“I can’t tell.”

Sun Shaozong did not directly admit it. After all, this time was different from the last time and was not directly connected with the murder, so it is impossible to confirm 100% whether it is a black post.

After a pause, he repeated the question just now.

This time someone finally answered:

“If you return to the second master, it’s this box.”

One of the servants pointed to a large wooden box and said, “We tore the seal off. Just when we opened the box, we saw a black sticker lying on the white silver. Because it was strange, we took it to invite the mandarin ducks. The girl glanced over.”

“So, did you find it together?”

Seeing several male servants nodded together, Sun Shaozong turned his gaze to the silver box.

At this time, the lid of the wooden box was wide open, and the pile of ingots inside was full of silver ingots. It seems that the formal inventory has not yet begun.

Going forward and looking carefully, I found that some of the silver ingots on the top were stained with some oily ink, even the edge of the box.

Judging from this scale, the black posts have been stored in it for at least a period of time, and they have also experienced bumps in handling.

This basically ruled out the suspicion of his subordinates.

After looking carefully for a while, Sun Shaozong put the lid on again and checked the condition of the seal.

And he checked more than just this one, opened and unopened, a total of more than a dozen boxes, all of which were checked by him.

“Master, have you seen anything?”

At this time, the second sister You couldn’t help but curiously leaned forward, probably because she was afraid that Sun Shaozong scolded ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and also specially reported the nuns with croissants.

Sun Shaozong smoothly rubbed the top of his daughter’s head, and said in a deep thought: “Of the dozen or so boxes, there are only three in total. After the seals are attached, they can open the gaps and plug the black posts without leaving any marks Go in, and this box is one of them.”

Second Sister You nodded first, and then wondered again: “How can I know if these are useful?”

“At least it proved that there is a high probability that it was stuffed in through the gap after the box was sealed.”

As Sun Shaozong said, he suddenly ordered: “You continue to take inventory, Lord, I have to go out for a trip.”

Before the words fell, they walked out in a stride.

“Second Lord, Second Lord!”

Second sister You hugged the child for a few steps, but Sun Shaozong turned a deaf ear. Seeing that majestic figure disappeared outside the warehouse door, she couldn’t help pouting her mouth and stomping her feet: “People also said that they would use this money to cheer up at night. How can I leave!”

…………

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhang Cheng drove the carriage out of the corner gate, and went straight to Dongbianmen without stopping.

Needless to say, the destination is the camp where Lu Jianxing and others are temporarily stationed.

Starting from the sealing of the box and heading north, these hundreds of thousands taels of silver have been in a state of heavily guarded, and most of the time they are still piled in the cabin.

The easiest opportunity for people to take advantage of it was last night. At that time, more than a half of the soldiers were invited to Wangjiang Tower by Sun Shaozong, and Nuo Da’s camp was only guarded by dozens of people.

Coupled with the black post incident, it has always only appeared in the capital.

If Sun Shaozong’s speculation is correct, he might be able to find out some clues in the camp.

but……

What he can’t wait to know the most right now is the **** murder behind the black post and where he is! ()
