Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 267
The bank robbery was the source.

Lin was framed, but Ku Yin was really missing.Then the person who framed Lin Zheng must be the one who stole Ku Yin.

Although there was not much communication before, Qin Feng probably knew that the guards of the bank were very strict.

On weekdays, except for the chief and deputy treasury officials, no one else can enter randomly.

Whether it is depositing money in or taking money out, those coolies have to take off their clothes, sneak in and come out naked.

Even if there are two treasury officers, the chief and deputy, if they have entered and exited the bank vault that day, they must be completely naked and undergo a detailed check from head to toe before the value is released.

Even the inside of the mouth must be checked carefully, and it is not good to hide it.

Regarding the bank, Qin Feng also learned about it from some records in the library.

Some dynasties may feel that officials have to face, and they can't take off their clothes for inspection, so they have to put a big round bead in their mouths when they enter the bank.It takes up the whole mouth of the person.

The purpose is to make people have nowhere to hide money.

Under such strict supervision, can you still lose money?How can this be?

Even if Ji Bugang guards himself and steals, how can he bring the money out of it?
If it is a total of three hundred and five hundred, three thousand five thousand taels, it is reasonable, just take it piecemeal.

If it doesn't work, just stuff it into the chrysanthemum!
Take the odds and ends every day, and accumulate more—this is not nonsense. In history, some dynasties were not very strict in supervision, and there were really coolies who did that. Every time they stole 20 taels, stuffed it in, and brought it out. , Take it out at home at night.

Although it may smell a bit, it is silver after all, and it can be spent after just washing it.

But the theft in Ben Thanh was different.

The first stolen silver found in the bank was 3 taels!

The bank treasury in Ben Thanh Mansion is checked every quarter.

In other words, even if the 3 taels were stolen in bits and pieces, it took at most three months, 1 taels a month, on average, more than 300 taels a day!
300 taels of silver, according to the standard of Dazhou Treasury silver, is six silver ingots.

The size of each silver ingot is as big as the fist of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, and the shape of the silver ingot is not round!
The official silver made in each dynasty has its own characteristics, but in summary, the basic shapes are similar, and they are basically boat-shaped ingots.

Da Zhou's silver ingots are also in the shape of a boat, and the "bow and stern" is so beautifully curved, not only has a large arc, but also the edges are polished very sharply, like the blade of a knife.

When you can't think about it, just take a silver ingot and scratch it on your wrist, it can be used as a suicide tool.

No matter how awesome Ji Bugang was, he couldn't stuff six fist-sized silver ingots like this into the chrysanthemum every day.

There is no need to stuff it for three consecutive months, three days, the chrysanthemum will burst...

Therefore, he must have used other methods to steal Ku Yin out of the treasury.

The bank was heavily guarded, and the money disappeared in it, just like people disappearing under the siege of the yamen servants, the situation is similar.

But Ji Bugang and others can burn their houses down, but they cannot burn down the treasury.

Qin Feng felt that if he could find out how he took the silver out by looking at the layout of the bank, he might also be able to figure out how the three of them disappeared in his room.

The bank is near the magistrate's yamen, and it will be there after a short walk.

It is still heavily guarded here, the bank is located in the center of the compound, and there are soldiers guarding the bank in front, back, left, and right.

All the yamen servants in Bincheng were transferred by the magistrate to protect him, but he didn't dare to touch the ones here.

After Lin Zheng's death, the magistrate immediately brought in a new treasury official.

Seeing the magistrate arriving, the treasury officer immediately printed it: "This subordinate has seen the magistrate."

"Well... Didn't I say before that Master Qin wants to investigate the theft of Ku Yin? Let me introduce you, this is the county magistrate of Ninghai County, Master Qin Feng. Why don't you hurry up and salute?"

The magistrate still has some authority in front of his subordinates.

The trusted treasury official immediately bowed to Qin Feng: "The villain has seen Mr. Qin."

"Well, excuse me. Quickly open the bank, I'll check it out, there are other places to go."

Qin Feng said.

The treasury official nodded, made a gesture of invitation to the side, and said to Qin Feng: "No problem, but please come here, sir, and take off your clothes before entering."

Qin Feng stopped immediately.

Look around, there are so many guards, all of them are neatly dressed.

Under the gaze of so many people, let him take off naked?
How can it be!Even Su Jin hasn't seen his Qin body yet!

Wan Kunming's complexion was also not very good-looking. The ancient people were conservative, especially these scholars, who were also wrapped in long clothes in summer, but the material would be lighter and thinner than in winter.

Tell a scholar like him who wants to save face to strip naked?That would be too embarrassing, it would be better to give him a knife.

To be reasonable, this is the rule of the bank, not unique to the bank of Bincheng Prefecture. I am afraid that it is the same for any bank in Dazhou.

Even if he came to investigate the case, he shouldn't break the local rules.

But even if this is the rule, both of them know it well, but wanting them to take off their clothes is still a little awkward and unacceptable.

When Qin Feng was fighting with heaven and man, he didn't know whether to listen to what the treasury official said, and when he took off his clothes, the prefect angrily reprimanded the treasury official: "Presumptuous!"

"Master Qin is here to help the government investigate the case. He wants to enter the bank to find clues to the crime! Why do you need to undress? Do you regard Master Qin as a coolie?"

"This... but my lord, this is the bank's rules, my villain..."

"Rules are dead, people are alive. Do you understand flexibility? Mr. Qin, an official from another county, has been busy with this case for almost a day and a half. He is exhausted. Isn't he trustworthy? Besides, Mr. Qin You are also an official of the imperial court, and you are still greedy for a little money? Just open the door!"

The prefect gave the new treasury official a death order.

The Kuguan looked embarrassed, but he still followed the prefect's order.

The gate of the bank was opened, and the magistrate stood in front of the door, and said to Qin Feng: "So, Mr. Qin and the gentleman next to him, let's go in and investigate together. Multiple people cannot enter this bank at the same time. The government has made an exception for Mr. Qin Once, don’t break the rules again.”

"Qin has thanked the magistrate, and the lord will wait here. Qin will go in and investigate, hoping to leave any clues..."

Qin Feng said politely, took Wan Kunming into the bank, walked a few steps inside, and heard the door shut behind him with a bang, not only closing, but also the sound of locking when he tilted his head.

"Master Zhifu? What does this mean?"

"Hmph, what do you mean? This is called inviting you into the urn, closing the door and beating the dog!"
