    ?

    Tantai Wutian nodded and said: "You are right."

    After a pause, he asked again: "However, Senior Nephew Rong Xin, where did you get this letter?"

    The little monk Rongxin looked at him and smiled, "Uncle Wutian, guess, you should be able to guess."

    "Can I guess it?" Tantai Wutian thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Could it be Zhang Gourd's box for hiding money?"

    The little monk Rongxin nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, Master Uncle, I found this letter when I went to collect the money this morning."

    "Then you haven't put the letter back now, do you think the gourd will have found that the letter is missing?" Tantai Wutian asked.

    "Then who knows?" After a pause, the little monk Rong Xin said again, "However, I think he should have discovered it, you see he put the money box by the bedside, I'm afraid he has to check it every day  Hehe, so what if he finds out? Could it be that he still doubts that the two of us who are locked in the cell are dead? " Speaking of this, the little monk Rongxin couldn't help laughing.

    Tantai Wutian looked at him and nodded, and also smiled.

    Indeed, little monk Rongxin had expected it, Zhang Hulu had already discovered that the letter was missing.

    He did take a look at the money box every night. Sometimes he would count the money in the money box one by one when he had enough time. He was busy these days, so he didn¡¯t have time to count, so he just took it to look at it.  look.

    That night, Wang Liuzhi, Fatty Qian, Gao Sheng and the clerks all left, and the servants waited on him for dinner, and then he went to his aunt's room for a while, and then went back to his own room to sleep¡ª  - He never spent the night in his aunt's room - as usual before going to bed, he took out the money box to see the money in it.

    After opening it and looking at it for a few times, I always felt that something was wrong. After looking again, I suddenly saw that big ingot of silver, and immediately thought that something was wrong. It turned out that the letter from the prefect of Changsha Prefecture had disappeared.

    This shock was no small matter, cold sweat broke out from his body all at once, and his face was pale.

    If this letter fell into the hands of others and reported to the Ministry, I am afraid that both he and Zhang Zhifu of Changsha Prefecture will inevitably be executed.  Not to mention that the two plan to kill the prisoner in the prison, it is this kind of private exchange of letters between officials who are not subordinate to each other, which is a serious crime.

    He hastily turned the entire money box upside down, and he was still lucky. He put the letter in an unknown corner of the money box, and he could still find it, but who would have thought that all the contents of the money box had been taken out?  , and there is no trace of that letter.

    Zhang Hulu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly counted the copper coins in the money box one by one. The count lasted until the middle of the night, and sure enough, dozens of coins were missing.

    His heart sank to the bottom at once. He had noticed that the copper coins seemed to be missing before, but that time the count was only ten coins missing. He counted it several times and thought it was his counting error. Now it seems that it may not be him  The count was wrong, but someone stole money from here every day.

    This time it was this life-threatening letter again.  Who is the one?

    Zhang Hulu tried his best to calm down from his fear at the beginning, and began to think.

    There are not many people who can enter his room. He counted them, Gao Sheng, the scribe, and the aunt Huoshi.

    Every time Gao Sheng and the scribe came, he was in the house, but when he went out, only Gao Sheng and Huo could come to this house, but when he was promoted, Gao Sheng had to wait outside every time.  It's impossible to touch a few copper coins in that short time, could it be the Huo family?

    No, Zhang Hulu thought again, besides the Huo family, the slaves who waited on him to dress and eat were also possible.

    Zhang Hulu thought for a long time, and thought to himself, this should not be announced in advance, and needs to be investigated slowly. Even if this person is going to report to the government, it may be difficult to report to the Ministry. If he reports to other government offices, he will not accept it.  Not only would he not be accepted, but he might even be arrested. The only thing to worry about is that the person in the government he reported happened to have an enmity with Zhang Zhifu, the prefect of Changsha Prefecture, and that would be bad.

    He thought, the letter was still there when he checked the money box last night, so the only possibility is that it was stolen sometime today, and no one in the yamen went out today, only Gao Sheng went to the prison.  The official went to the market. From this point of view, if this letter was stolen by someone in the yamen, I am afraid that it is still in the yamen. He only needs to check one by one, and it will not be difficult to get it back.

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hulu slowly settled down, lying on the bed with his clothes on, and fell asleep tossing and turning.  However, he never thought that this letter was actually taken by little monk Rongxin who came early this morning to take the copper coins in his money box.

    Besides, there is nothing in the prisonAfter the little monk Rongxin talked about the origin of the letter, the little monk Rongxin asked Tantai Wutian again: "Uncle Wutian, what should we do next, are we just pretending to be dead here?"

    Tantai Wutian shook his head and said: "Of course not, I'm afraid there will be an autopsy tomorrow, we can't pretend anymore, even if we don't come for an autopsy, there is no reason why a corpse will not rot"

    "I don't think they will throw our corpses out without waiting for the corpses to rot" Little Monk Rongxin interjected.

    "Huh?" Tantai Wutian was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said: "Don't wait for them to throw it away, just make a broken mat and roll us up, we're panicking, let's leave by ourselves."

    "Uncle Wutian, you mean we're leaving tonight?"

    "No" Tantai Wutian smiled secretly, and let the little monk Rongxin listen to him, and said so and so and so and so on.

    After listening to Tantai Wutian's words, the little monk Rongxin couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

    At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard footsteps from outside. They knew that someone was coming to check the cell, so they hurriedly lay down.

    As soon as they lay down, the little guy who was sent by the cell boss to guard their corpses came over.

    Xiao Luo checked the breathing of the two of them, and they were indeed dead.  But what's the matter with this lying posture? If it is said that the body is lying flat on its side, then it is possible.

    Could it be that I was dazzled before?  No, I poured hot water for them myself, and I clearly remember that both of them were lying on their backs.

    The little boy glanced at the two of them again, and an explanation suddenly appeared in his mind. Could it be that the two of them were not completely dead before. After everyone left, they struggled again, trying to get up and call for help, but just now  He couldn't support himself when he turned his body sideways, and he died anyway.

    The little guy thought about it, this is the only possibility.

    He glanced at the two of them again, and thought to himself, these two young monks didn't know where they became monks, and whether their parents were still alive, but they starved to death in this cell for no reason, alas, it is really pitiful.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
