There was no movement in the back room immediately, and Chu Nanzhi then ordered the two of them to continue telling the details of the entire case.
The two of them talked about everything carefully this time, not missing anything.
This time, she gained a lot of details. In addition to learning more about a few people who had come into contact with the tax bank, she could also completely conclude that the tax bank was indeed under the eyes of these people from the time it was escorted to the loss, and she would no longer have any doubts.
.
After seeing the two of them off, Chu Nanzhi sat down on a stool with a melancholy look on his face and became stunned.
"Gold is real gold, but it turned into stone under people's eyes. Is there really magic in this world?"
Chu Nanzhi frowned in disbelief, stretched out his hand and tried his best to clear his Dantian, and then got lucky.
But after trying several times in succession, my face turned red and my eyes were still empty.
She heard that many time travelers have cheats such as space and systems to help the protagonist. In theory, she should also be talented.
system?
space?
"Prajnaparamita."
She silently summoned him several times in her mind.
The air was still silent, except for the faint sound of breathing coming from the inner room.
Grandma's legs, system, and space don't pay any attention to her.
In his previous life, he solved so many major cases for the country and the people, but he couldn't accumulate this kind of character?
Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to give up this idea and continued to work hard to delve into the case.
The 20,000 taels of gold were exchanged by the county government from various wealthy squire households. Lin Jinxiao and his colleagues checked carefully and determined that there would be no problem.
One tael of gold and ten taels of silver, showing that gold was still a rarity in this dynasty.
Luyan Port is located in the eastern part of the Dahe Empire, with developed trade routes and many wealthy households. The county magistrate has people exchange all the tax money paid from various places into gold bars, which is easy to escort and can make people look good. There is nothing suspicious about this.
However, according to what the two people said before, the pirates robbed the silver car and were fighting with them, but they suddenly retreated. Why?
"The pirates come from far away from the sea and travel across mountains and rivers. Since they are seeking money, they will definitely not give up halfway."
"And if the pirates are really seeking money, they should prepare carefully in advance and have a general estimate of the strength of the enemy and ourselves, so as not to be so hasty."
Chu Nanzhi muttered a few words to himself, and then said: "Maybe they did come prepared, because..."
Because they know magic.
After thinking about this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but pinch the palm of his hand.
It seems that I was also subconsciously misled by those people.
If you put aside the magic, this should be a man-made event that has been carefully planned long ago.
"If it is a man-made incident, it will inevitably leave loopholes."
"The pirates must have another purpose if they didn't take it."
But, what purpose could it have?
Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips tightly and blinked blankly.
"Is it to let Lin Jinxiao discover that what they are transporting is no longer gold, but stones?"
So why did gold suddenly turn into stone?
Do they really know how to do magic?
"Oh! It's really hopeless!"
Chu Nanzhi slapped herself gently and reasoned about the whole process again.
"If the pirates just wanted Lin Jinxiao to find out that they were transporting stones, what would their purpose be?"
Chu Nanzhi racked his brains and thought: "With so much gold suddenly turned into stone, that guy must be so anxious that he must either run away immediately and live in exile, or have the stone transported back to the county government and confess his guilt."
But these people are all old and young, and they will never abandon their families.
Moreover, Lin Jinxiao's reputation in the county was pretty good, and he couldn't afford to lose this person.
"That is to transport the stone back to the county government office and voluntarily plead guilty."
Chu Nanzhi remembered that the stones brought back were already at the county government office.
"The pirates robbed and refused to take it. The stone could not reach the county government and could only be transported back to the county government office. The person who planned it carefully must be in the county government office."
It seems that someone in the county government wants to covet this tax money.
"County magistrate? County captain? Or his colleagues?"
Chu Nanzhi made some guesses.
But where do these people get the ability to turn gold into white stones under their noses?
Besides, the county magistrate would not joke about his black gauze hat.
etc!
Chu Nanzhi suddenly remembered what the two men had said just now, that when they checked the sealed box, there was a Taoist priest beside them.
That person was the one who had the gossip with the original owner.
I heard that this person was invited by the county magistrate's mother to his house a few years ago, and he had a very good relationship with the county officials.
"Taoist, hehe."
After coming to this world, the first case she came into contact with was revealed in just a few hours. She couldn't restrain the excitement and joy on her face, and couldn't help but slapped her palm on the table:
"It's clear, it's clear, haha, I figured out what's going on."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a click on the table, two legs were broken at the waist, and the package on the table slid to the ground, making a crisp and sweet sound.
"Chu Nanzhi, are you seriously ill?"
The sound in the living room startled the back room, and then came Lin Jinxiao's angry shouts and curses.
Chu Nanzhi stared at the broken wooden table blankly, and secretly complained in her heart: This is really adding insult to injury.
Without allowing her to react, a series of crying sounds rang out from the back room:
"Dad, is she crazy?"
"Woooo, we're scared."
"Dad, we can't survive anyway, so why not take her away first to prevent her from harming us again."
"Yes, we are not afraid of her now."
"Don't talk nonsense. Dad will definitely let you live well. Dabao, you have to promise dad that no matter what happens in the future, you will take good care of your brothers and sisters."
Lin Jinxiao's comforting words and the cries of the four little guys were intertwined, making her very uncomfortable.
Chu Nanzhi closed her eyes gently, thinking about the original owner's daily actions, and realized that she could no longer stay in this home.
Since everyone feels uncomfortable, why bother forcing each other?
I began to plan in my mind that after this matter is settled, each of them will sign the divorce papers, and we will be separated from now on, and no one will be able to hinder the other.
After making up her mind, she simply tidied up the living room, then returned to the small room, lay down on the simple wooden bed, closed her eyes and rested for a while.
In a daze, I heard messy footsteps outside the yard.
She slowly opened her eyes and realized that it was already broad daylight.
"Master Lin, we are here to take you to task on the order of the county magistrate. I have offended you a lot. Please forgive me, Master Lin."
When Chu Nanzhi heard the voice, she immediately got up, pushed the door open and rushed out. She saw that Lin Jinxiao had led the four little guys outside the living room.
He held the crutch tightly with both hands and was supported by the little guys. Although his body was incomplete, his spirit was full of energy and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he was ready to die.
When the four little guys saw the government officials coming, they burst into tears and refused to let go.
The government officials were a little embarrassed. The leader glanced at Chu Nanzhi and said hesitantly: "Master Lin, it's better not to ask me to wait for trouble. It's better to let the children follow Madam Chu and wait for their fate."
Lin Jinxiao remained silent and did not speak.
Chu Nanzhi knew clearly that he was afraid that he would rather the four little guys die than let himself take them with him.
Just at this moment, Li Ce brought a few people in, carrying a stretcher.
Li Ce was so tired that he was sweating profusely. While wiping his sweat, he said to the leading officer: "Old Zhang, brother Jinxiao is still injured on his leg. The squires asked me to take good care of him and not to insult his integrity as a scholar.
"
As he spoke, he looked specifically at the torture instruments in the hands of the government officials and continued: "Let the brothers carry him to the county government office."
The leading Yamen servant frowned.
"For the sake of my colleagues."
The leading officer nodded hesitantly, and Li Ce quickly rushed to Lin Jinxiao's side to help him get on the stretcher.
Lin Jinxiao looked at these little ones and couldn't bear it, but after a little hesitation, he still tried hard to keep them away, and told Li Ce: "I'll leave the children to you."
The four little guys were held tightly in Li Ce's arms. They watched their father being taken away, crying and jumping anxiously.
Chu Nanzhi sighed sadly: After all, I was the one who shouldered everything.
She shouted to the group of government officials: "Wait a minute."
My mother said that young people should not be too impulsive, so the golden finger will come out slowly, so as not to affect everyone's hand speed comparison.
