Chapter 162
Lord Song smacked his lips, thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and finally he could only choke out a sentence: "I will trouble Mr. Liu on this matter."

"It's not too late, I need to go to the bank to check." Ye Feng thought for a while and said.

Song Qing personally led the way, and when he came to the bank, there were many yamen servants patrolling here.

……

"This is Mr. Liu. He is uncovering the list to investigate the theft of tax money."

Song Qing introduced to the patrolling yamen servants.

Then Song Qing took out the key to open the door of the bank, lit a lantern, and took Ye Feng into the bank.

The bank is so dark that it can only be seen clearly with the help of a lantern.

"Why is the bank so dark?" Ye Feng was a little curious.

Song Qing said with a smile: "The silver treasury is divided into the inner treasury and the outer treasury. This is the inner treasury. The place we passed just now is the outer treasury. The inner treasury is specially used to store tax silver, and the outer treasury is used to store some silver taels needed for daily expenses. .The one stolen this time is the tax money from the internal treasury.”

Ye Feng looked at the heavily guarded warehouse, and the outer warehouse didn't have much money.

And the box in the inner warehouse was a few mouthfuls empty, and the silver inside was gone.

It is impossible to place empty boxes in the inner warehouse. Originally, each box was filled with one hundred taels of silver ingots.

Now, exactly three boxes are empty.

Looking at the big empty box, Ye Feng felt the demonic aura remaining on the box, and knew that it was definitely made by monsters.

"Mr. Liu, can you see the clue?" Song Qing asked.

"I'll take another look." Ye Feng carried a lantern and searched inside the inner library, looking for clues.

The internal library is not too big, and the investigation was completed quickly, except for the evil spirit, there were no clues left.

"I can see the remaining monster aura, but it's hard to tell what kind of monster it is." Ye Feng looked at Song Qing and said helplessly.

Song Qing was in a hurry: "Then what should I do?"

Ye Feng shook his head slightly: "Wait! We can only wait for the monster to make no more moves."

"Hey, that's the only way to go." Song Qing was a little disappointed.

For the current plan, we can only sit back and wait.

It was calm for several days, and the monster did not attack again. Song Qing and others were even more restless.

That night, at midnight, there was a sudden noise outside the room.

"The bank was stolen again, and the silver flew away by itself..."

Ye Feng, who was already ready to go, jumped off the bed when he heard the words.

When he came outside the silver vault, he saw a bunch of white silver coins flying out of the silver vault by himself.

Song Qing also rushed over with a team of yamen servants, and looked at the silver coins flying away all over the sky: "Don't stand still, take action quickly, and don't let the silver coins fly away."

The yamen servants looked at each other, and under Song Qing's repeated urging, they tried to stop Yin Liang from flying away.

However, Yinliang seemed to have eyes, and the yamen servants couldn't stop him at all.

Everyone was helpless, Song Qing hurried to Ye Feng's side, panting: "Mr. Liu, the monster is trying to steal the tax money, please hurry up and do it!"

"Don't panic, wait for me to find the whereabouts of the monster!" Ye Feng looked around and said helplessly.

"This...then what should we do now?" Song Qing also understood that he had taken it for granted, although he no longer urged him, but seeing Bai Yin fly away, his heart was on fire.

It wasn't the tax money that flew away, but his black hat and head!
Ye Feng finally ran wildly towards Baiyin, and soon came to the smoky dense forest.

Then, all of Baiyin disappeared, and Ye Feng didn't see any monsters from the beginning to the end.

Back at the county government office, Ye Feng said to Song Qing: "The monster is too cunning. It used sorcery to steal silver from the air. It never showed up. I followed Baiyin to a dense forest. The smoke was hazy and there was no trace of Baiyin."

"It seems that it might be a bit difficult to start with the monsters. May I ask Mr. Song, which family has suddenly become rich in Qingyang County recently?"

After a lot of thought, Ye Feng felt that the monster stealing the silver should not be for his own use.

"I asked the master to investigate this matter, but I haven't had time to ask." Song Qing said something, then turned to the yamen servant next to him and said: "Go and invite the master."

Not long after, the master was invited.

"My lord, the matter has been inquired clearly. This subordinate saw that it was getting late, so I originally planned to tell my lord tomorrow."

"Oh? Come on quickly."

"Recently, Huang Feng, a woodcutter in the east of the city, suddenly became rich recently. Some people saw that he spent a lot of money to own a mansion with three entrances and three exits. He was also planning to marry the daughter of medicine merchant Wang Jingtian. To get married."

The master told the news about the inquiry.

Ye Feng's eyes shone brightly: "Look for this Huang Feng first."

A woodcutter suddenly became rich, so there is something strange at this time.

Song Qing didn't hesitate, and led a team of policemen to Huang Feng's house with Ye Feng.

Not long after, they came to a luxurious mansion.

"Knock on the door." Song Qing waved.

A policeman knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside: "Who is it, rushing to reincarnate in the middle of the night!"

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man dressed as a servant, who should have been invited by Huang Feng to watch the gatekeeper.

"Is Huang Feng at home?" the policeman said coldly with a straight face.

"Yes." The middle-aged man trembled with fright.

"Lead the way." Song Qing stepped forward and said.

The middle-aged man responded, and staggered forward to lead the way, not daring to have the slightest disobedience.

Finally, everyone came to a bedroom.

"Arrest people to this county."

A few policemen responded, then broke open the door and rushed in.

"Who are you?"

Soon there were panicked voices in the bedroom.

There was a little resistance, and Huang Feng, who was disheveled, was caught out after a while.

"You are Huang Feng?" Song Qing looked at him and said coldly.

"Master Zhixian, I am Huang Feng."

When Huang Feng saw Song Qing, his face turned pale, he was so shocked that he was covered in cold sweat, and he lost any sleepiness.

Seeing Huang Feng's appearance, Ye Feng and Song Qing felt a little low, and the lost tax money was definitely related to him.

"The county government bank has been stolen tens of thousands of taels of silver. Tell me, where are you hiding?" Song Qing looked down from a high position, his eyes were like torches: "If you confess honestly, I will give you a light sentence. If you dare to conceal anything, I will sentence you." Ask after autumn."

Huang Feng's eyes flustered, and he defended with cold sweat: "Lord magistrate, the grassroots did not steal the money from the county government treasury, how could a villain have the guts, magistrate, the villain is wronged!"

"How dare you quibble, if you didn't steal the official money, you are a mere woodcutter, where did you get the money to buy this mansion, and where did you get the money to marry the only daughter of the medicine merchant Wang Jingtian? Don't tell me, the money is all on your own. earned it."

Seeing Huang Feng's sophistry, Song Qing was furious.

Huang Feng's lips trembled, his whole body trembled, his face turned pale with fright, he hesitated for a while, unable to explain why.

"Hmph, don't cry if you don't see the coffin! Where are you going? Take Huang Feng and beat him until he is willing to confess."

Song Qing has been an official for many years, and he knows that people like Huang Feng are always taking chances, and they may not speak up without some means.

The police stepped forward and kicked Huang Feng down, and found a stick to beat him.

Huang Feng was beaten until he wailed like a pig being killed, but he gritted his teeth and complained that he was wronged.

In the end, Huang Feng was beaten until he passed out. Song Qing ordered a bucket of well water to wake him up.
