Chapter 15 Retrieving the Relief Silver
All three boxes of silver were gone.
Kuai Peng's drunkenness was completely awakened. He ran over with sweat, and he carefully flipped the empty box without giving up, and roared loudly: "Damn it, how dare you steal charity money? Do you dare to steal my silver? Can the silver be stolen even if it exists in the Imperial College?
No matter how loud he shouted, the silver would not be changed back by himself, and the three-dog box was still empty. The Imperial College Supervisor Yeleling rushed over and found out the situation, and his face became extremely ugly.
Because there were students from the Imperial College who participated in this act, this matter was also a good thing for the Imperial College. Moreover, the Imperial College is very safe, so he agreed to deposit silver for Zhang Hongying and others. But in just one night, the silver was stolen in the Imperial College. Wouldn't the Imperial College become the biggest suspect?
Kuai Peng grabbed Le Siye and shouted: "The silver exists in your Imperial College. Now all three silver boxes have been pried open, but the door of the warehouse is intact. Is it necessary to say that someone in your Imperial College robbed you. You must give me an explanation for this matter."
Lesiye changed color and said, "Because you are entrusted with silver, I have given you the warehouse key. If you want to say that someone has stolen the silver, the most suspicious one should not be the Chinese sub-subsidiary."
Kuai Peng was furious and said, "You fart! Are you still me? You gave me the key, can't you have a second one? I have the key to the box. If it were me, why not even open the box with the key and pry it open?"
Le Siye sneered: "In this way, you can blame our Imperial College."
Kuai Peng was furious and punched him, but Ye Xiaotian stopped him. Tang Xianzu rushed forward, hugged Kuai Peng's arm, and forced him to the side.
When Le Siye saw that Kuai Peng wanted to attack him, he laughed so much that he said with great anger: "You Jinyiwei is so powerful. You stole the silver, but framed it to our Imperial College. Now you still have to bully others by relying on your power? Isn't it true that you are the best at pointing to a deer as a horse. Isn't it your Jinyiwei's best skill?"
Kuai Peng was furious and roared: "Old Tang, please let me go. I will kill this old guy."
The Jinyiwei is not as powerful as the time. Now the most powerful one is the civil servant. Whether it is the Jinyiwei or the royal relatives, once you offend the civil servant, it is like stabbing a hornet's nest. No matter whether it has anything to do with him, those civil servants are like injecting chicken blood, rushing up one after another and bombing them. If you can't scold you to death, you will be disgusting to death.
What's more, Le Siye is an official of the Imperial College. Not only is he quite prestigious in the Shilin, but many of the students he taught have good family backgrounds. If Kuai Peng really hit this punch, it would probably be as simple as stabbing a hornet's nest, but rushed into the hornet's nest.
Tang Xianzu knew it was very powerful, so how could he dare to let go? After hearing what Kuai Peng said, he hugged him tighter. Ye Xiaotian said: "Enough. Brother Kuai, what's the use of making noise at this time? Why not report to the official?"
Kuai Peng was held by Tang Xianzu and pointed to the tip of his nose and said, "Report to the official? What I am the official, do you ask me to report to the official? My Jinyiwei was cheated and went to find a constable to handle the case. Do I think I am not embarrassed enough?"
Ye Xiaotian said helplessly: "What do you want? Use your Jinyiwei people to handle the case? Isn't you Nanzhenfu in charge of military discipline and craftsmen in the guards? Can you handle the case?"
Kuai Peng tried hard twice, but did not break away from Tang Xianzu's hug, and said, "Let me go, don't worry, I won't beat him, let go!"
Tang Xianzu let go of his hand. Kuai Peng took a few breaths of heavy breaths, gradually calmed down and said, "Even if our Nanzhen is not a spy who specializes in the investigation, he is always better than the people in the Six Gates. I must have found out about this case. If it was really the one from the Imperial College..."
Kuai Peng smiled coldly and looked at Le Siye with a fierce look. Le Siye proudly raised his chin and said, "I want to investigate our Imperial College? I think you should clear your own suspicion first."
Kuai Peng heard this and then started to rage: "I'm suspected of being a damn bad guy. The walls of your Imperial College are higher than those of the prison wall. There are soldiers guarding at the gate. There are three boxes of silver. More than ten people have to carry them. Is this thesis? How can I steal? Do I know how to carry the five ghosts?"
Ye Xiaotian looked moved and said, "Yes! The box is here, and the money is gone. The person who steals the silver must not be able to move the whole box of silver, or he or she cannot transport such a large box directly out of the Imperial College."
Ye Xiaotian paced back and forth, thought nervously, and said slowly: "If someone had broken the silver into pieces and transported it away in batches, then whether he was transporting it out of the Imperial College in scattered ways or stealing the silver and then turning it into land preparation, it would not have been transported out of the courtyard wall."
After he said this, Kuai Peng calmed down and said, "No, if it was transported out in scattered ways, someone would have to cooperate inside and outside the high wall, and there would be cars and boxes for silver outside the wall. This process would be short. There were soldiers patrolling in the Imperial College at night, and there were constables and updaters outside the wall. Recently, refugees were everywhere in Nanjing, and constables patrol more frequently. If they were transported from the wall, they would have been discovered long ago. If it was a whole box of silver, they would not even be able to move it up by stepping on a ladder!"
Tang Xianzu suddenly said, "So, the thief can only transport the silver from the door!"
Ye Xiaotian suddenly turned to Lesiye and said, "Sir Siye, where Imperial College is located, is there any record of who is entering and leaving?"
When Le Siye heard this, he still suspected that he had reached the Imperial College and was very disgusted. However, the theft happened in the Imperial College. He could not avoid it at all, so he could only say in disappointment: "Of course there are records, but if there are any differences, at most, it is just a name, and it is impossible to remember anything else."
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "This is enough. When the silver was shipped yesterday, it was almost evening. I believe that it is prohibited to enter and exit at night. Then the period of time will not be too long. During this period, if someone transports the cart of things and leaves, or goes in and out many times, I believe that the person guarding the gate must remember it clearly."
Kuai Peng was overjoyed and said, "Not bad! If someone transported things into a car during this period, or if one person went in and out repeatedly, or if a large group of people went out together, then they were the most suspicious people."
Le Siye sneered: "After all the time, do you still need to check our country's sub-subsidiary?"
Kuai Peng said angrily: "Why, your Imperial College can't check it? You repeatedly obstructed it, is it because you are guilty? Hey! The lock of this door is intact..."
Ye Xiaotian interrupted him and said, "Brother Jing, the door lock is intact and it cannot prove anything. This kind of lock is easy to open. I will tell you that I can even open a suitable tool. Lord Si Ye kindly helps us deposit silver. We should not slander the Imperial College, which will make Lord Si Ye embarrassed."
When Le Siye heard what he said, his already angry face gradually calmed down.
Ye Xiaotian took the opportunity to salute Lesiye and said sincerely: "Sir Siye, you are a school official. You understand more about teaching and educating people than us young boys. These silver is used to provide disaster relief and people. The people who steal silver are so conscientious!
If this money cannot be retrieved, I don’t know how many refugees will be in a situation that will make things worse. It is understandable that you always maintain the Imperial College’s mood, but the money is indeed stolen at the moment. If you want to clear the suspect of the Imperial College, you should cooperate with us to find out this real thief of the silver thief.”
Le Siye couldn't help but ponder. After a while, Fang slowly said: "Le is not allowed to do this. I want to report to the wine."
Ye Xiaotian said: "I have Master Lao Siye!"
Le Siye glanced Kuai Peng hard and left.
Kuai Peng sneered: "Seeing his guilty look, the thief must have come from the Imperial College."
Ye Xiaotian comforted: "The truth has not been revealed yet, Brother Kuai doesn't need to say that."
The shopkeeper Tong saw a big business gone, and he was very upset and walked up impatiently and said, "Sorry, since your money has disappeared, we can't do this deal, say goodbye!"
Ye Xiaotian was also a little discouraged and bowed to him. Seeing Zhangguan Tong go out, he suddenly remembered something and said, "No, I can't let him leave like this."
Tang Xianzu and Kuai Peng were stunned and said in unison: "What?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "After Zhanggui Tong leaves, he will definitely open the matter. Now this matter is confusing and has not been investigated clearly. If it is open, some people will inevitably suspect that someone in the Imperial College has committed a crime, and some people will also suspect that you and me will make money under the name of charity sales to provide disaster relief, but in fact they will give themselves a gift."
"yes!"
Kuai Peng suddenly realized and said, "I'll go chase him and tell him to be more tight."
Kuai Peng said as he quickly chased him out. He was the Jinyiwei, and that Zhanggui Tong was just a merchant. As long as he gave instructions, Zhanggui Tong, a businessman, would definitely not talk too much. No one understands the truth that "misfortune comes from the mouth" better than these common people.
After a while, the Imperial Master Saki Tian Mingdao rushed over, and Tian Jijiu's face looked even worse than Lesiye. Before coming here, he had already scolded Lesiye sternly, but now that things have come to this point, he has no other way. The donations are to be investigated, but what he cares most about is to safeguard the reputation of the Imperial Master. Otherwise, once news comes out that the Imperial Master’s students or gentlemen who preach and answer questions steal the donations, the Imperial Master will inevitably lose its reputation.
Tian Jijiu arrived at the scene. When Kuai Peng said the matter angrily, he said, "Okay! I asked Le Siye to cooperate with you and check the people who went to and from the Imperial College last night. However, you must be careful. If this matter is revealed, hum!"
Tian Jijiu snorted coldly, and Kuai Peng's arrogant attitude suddenly disappeared. He suddenly realized that the consequence was not just a loss of donations.
Although Tian Jijiu is a teacher, Imperial College is the principal of the highest institution for cultivating the reserve force of officials. Those who can enroll in Imperial College are at least juren. After these people go out, they either become officials or are extremely influential gentry in the local area. The difference between Imperial College and Mr. Xixi is a huge difference.
