My years as a corpse seamstress in the East Factory

Chapter 44 I Want Money

Protector's Mansion.

When Wu Youdao came to the treasure house in the backyard, he saw that all the big locks were intact and locked.

He always carried the key to the treasury with him.

But the silver taels in the treasury were indeed missing by nearly 3000 taels.

The lost silver happened to be the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court not long ago.

This is fatal.

He has done this matter very carefully, no matter how powerful Zhuge Zhengxiong is, no matter how capable the four famous arresters are, there is no evidence that can threaten him.

Just at this time, the relief money temporarily stored in the treasury was actually stolen and distributed to the poor.

This matter has already caused an uproar in Chang'an City, and sooner or later it will reach the emperor's ears.

After my sister became the queen, she talked to him several times and repeatedly told him to tighten his tail and stop being rampant.

In the past few days, he has been very restrained, and he didn't go out of the house to play.

No matter how careful you are, when something should happen, something will happen.

Coming out of the treasure house, Wu Youdao was furious, summoned all the servants, and ordered them to catch the thief within three days no matter what method they used.

Wu Youdao wanted to cut off the thief's flesh piece by piece.

You said that there are so many treasures in the treasury, if you just take one, it is no better than the thousands of taels of disaster relief silver.
It's really pissing people off.

……

Six doors.

Zhuge Zhengxiong looked at the four famous arresters and said solemnly: "If Lord Protector is really the mastermind behind the disaster relief case, then he will definitely do everything he can to catch the thieves that the common people call before us."

The implication is that the six doors must be faster, and the chivalrous thief must not be allowed to fall into Wu Youdao's hands.

As long as the thief confesses that he stole his silver from the Duke Protector's Mansion, the Six Doors have the right to search the Duke Protector's Mansion and seize the stolen money.

"My lord, if all the disaster relief money was transported into the Duke Protector's Mansion, now something like this happened, the Duke Protector would definitely try to transfer the disaster relief money." Ruanxin suggested that someone should be sent to closely monitor the Duke Protector's mansion day and night.

Zhuge Zhengxiong said: "All you have to do is go find the robbers, I'll take care of other things."

"Yes." The four famous arresters responded in unison and left quickly.

As soon as the four famous arresters left, another head arrester rushed in and said: "My lord, just now, Lord Protector sent out all his servants, saying that he wanted to catch thieves and thieves and eliminate harm for the people."

Zhuge Zhengxiong waved his hand outwards, and said with a dark smile: "Wu Youdao is young after all, if there is any trouble, he will lose his composure."

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to enter the palace immediately and report to the emperor to invite the imperial decree to thoroughly investigate the Duke Huguo's mansion.

When the four famous arresters found Wu Youdao, he should have done so.

But being in a high position and getting older, I can no longer act as boldly as I did when I was young.

There are just too many concerns.

After Zhuge Zhengxiong entered the palace, he failed to see the emperor.

The emperor's wind and cold worsened, and the imperial doctor said that he needed to rest, and the government affairs were all handled by the descendants of Wu for the time being.

Sitting behind the bead curtain, Empress Wu asked gently, "What's the matter, Master Zhuge?"

"The stolen disaster relief money suddenly flowed into Fangshi this morning. The six gates arrested hundreds of people who secretly hid government money. From their mouths, we learned that the money was most likely made by thieves who fled to Chang'an recently." Since he couldn't see the emperor, Zhuge Zhengxiong naturally had to change his strategy.

Wu Youdao dared to plunder the relief money, but it was hard to guarantee that there would be no support from Empress Wu behind him.

"The disaster relief money has been robbed, which is related to the country. Master Zhuge hopes to take care and solve it as soon as possible." Empress Wu's voice was like a warbler, soft like spring water, without waves.

Zhuge Zhengxiong said in a respectful voice: "This humble minister will definitely do his best."

Coming out of the palace, looking up at the blue sky, Zhuge Zhengxiong laughed loudly.

Empress Wu is really not an easy woman.

The wind in the harem is really unusual.

The sky of Wei Wei is about to change.

……

The sky is clear and clear, which is most suitable for pressing the road.

Yang Jiu and Gan Sisi walked in front side by side, turning their heads from time to time to glance at Wei Yuyan who was following behind.

After walking through a long street, Yang Jiu couldn't bear it any longer. He took out a tael of silver from his bosom, and said, "You little brat, what are you doing with us? Buy candy and eat it yourself."

After getting the money, Wei Yuyan was so happy that she almost flew up, and disappeared in a flash.

The two came to Zuixian Tower one after the other.

Seeing Gan Sisi coming again, the owner of the restaurant was overjoyed.

Yang Jiu found a seat, sat down, cut the beef, and ordered fine wine.

Gan Sisi returned to the familiar seat, the piano sounded and the singing sounded.

There is nothing better than the sound of nature.

Gan Sisi's voice is very melodious, if put into modern times, with a little packaging, she will definitely be a popular singer.

Tonight and any evening, the boat is in the middle of the stream.

What day is today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince.

To be ashamed and disgusting, not to be ashamed.

I was so upset that I learned of the prince.

There are wood in the mountains and branches in the wood, and the heart is happy and the king does not know.

Gan Sisi's song was sung for Yang Jiu.

But the rest of the drinkers listened, especially when they heard the last line. Gan Sisi sang it in an extremely sad tone, which made many people cry. They inexplicably remembered the girl next door who they loved when they were young. I can only watch helplessly as the person I love enters someone else's house.

Love parting, can't ask for it, it's hard.

After the song was sung, the drinkers were all wiping their tears.

When I came back to my senses, the tinkling sound kept ringing.

When distributing the reward money to the owner of the restaurant, the owner of the restaurant smiled from ear to ear, and said repeatedly: "Miss Gan, come here often, come here often, you must come here often..."

"It depends on your mood." After Gan Sisi finished speaking, she left with Yang Jiu.

The owner of the restaurant watched the two leave, and sighed secretly: "That kid is really lucky. As a corpse maker, he can find such a good girl..."

"What are you muttering about?" The burly proprietress stood at the door of the kitchen.

It's really people-to-people, maddening people.

The owner of the restaurant quickly buried himself in the settlement.

……

night.

cloudy.

Yang Jiu sat at the door of the body sewing shop, patiently waiting for the arrival of the corpse.

He wanted to go to Yan Luo Hall every night, but after Xiao Xuanzi mentioned it to Wei Zhongxian, he directly got a negative answer.

Excellent sewers are very rare and must be well protected.

"NO.30 Sewing corpses at the mortuary shop..."

"Sewing corpses at No. 36 mortuary shop..."

There are a little few corpses tonight, and they are basically allocated to newcomers.

Looks like another boring night with no dead beauties to visit.

Whoosh.

Suddenly a cold wind brushed past her cheeks, Yang Jiu looked to both sides, very dazed.

There must be ghosts in the cold wind.

Scanning around with yin and yang eyes, there is no soul.

"It should be running over there, chase." On the street in the distance, there are six policemen passing by in a flash.

Forget it, go back to the house and sleep is the kingly way.

He got up and walked into the body sewing shop, closed the door, and suddenly a short knife was pressed against his neck.

"Hero, please spare me. I'm just a corpse sewer. If you want money or lust, you just treat me like... I am!" Yang Jiu grabbed the dagger violently, turned around and punched the man behind him. left eye.

The man was beaten to the ground and screamed, "I'm a good person, I'm a good person..."
