Chapter 125 The money is gone

Chapter 125

Mrs. Qin, Qin Heng and others were very smart. They all changed into clothes that were neither old nor new but thick enough, and did not wear gold, silver or jade ornaments.

But the children's clothes were still too new. Wu Yuchun was very dissatisfied, "Silver ornaments on the heads of women cannot be worn. And these children, wearing such good clothes, change them!"

The children too, now the Qin family has five children in Chang'an. The oldest is Qin Heng's eight-year-old twins, Qin Han and Qin Jia: there are also Qin Sanlang Qin Zhao's two daughters and one son, son Qin Yu, daughter Qin Zhen and the little daughter who was born today.

In addition, Qin Erlang Qin Yan has two sons and one daughter in the northern border. Silang Qin Ming has two sons, but because he and Wulang are twins, Wulang died early after getting married, so Qin Ming adopted one of his sons to him. After the incident in the northern border, Qin Yan planned to take his wife, children, brothers, sisters, and nephews to carry the coffin back to Chang'an, but now their Qin family was confiscated and exiled, and he would be dismissed from his military position soon, and then imprisoned on the spot, and he would not be able to carry the coffin back to Chang'an.

At this time, Mrs. Qin and Nie Yunniang only had two silver hairpins on their heads to fix their hair, and they were told not to wear them. Moreover, these two silver hairpins were not pure silver, but silver-plated.

When they were at a loss, Lu Songli took out two wooden hairpins and handed them to the two, "Mother, Third Sister-in-law, you can use these wooden hairpins. And Third Sister-in-law, this headscarf is also for you. You just gave birth, don't catch a cold."

The two took off the two silver hairpins and re-tied their hair.

As for the children, Lu Songli signaled Qin Sheng to open the weaving rattan basket, take out suitable clothes from it, and change the children. After Mrs. Qin tied her hair, she came to help. Nie Yunniang wanted to help, but she had just given birth, so Qin Zhao asked her to sit aside and rest, and he went to help.

The child's clothes only look ugly, but in fact, the material is very good, all of which are fur and leather, and very warm.

Wu Chunyu didn't know what to say when he saw this, so he just snorted.

"Everyone, please." As long as Lin Ran sent them to the prison, his work would be completed.

At this time, Wu Chunyu brought the warehouse minister who was counting the warehouse to come in a hurry, "Sir Wu, the number of Qin's property is not right."

Lu Songli looked at Qin Heng, Qin Sheng and others, what's going on? The account is not balanced?

Qin Heng knew what was wrong as soon as he heard it.

The person who manages the account of their Qin family is an old man who has been in charge of the account. Needless to say, he is loyal to the Qin family, but his ability to manage accounts is average. In the past, there was no big move in the mansion, and he was okay in charge. But recently, their family has a large amount of money in and out, and he can't manage it. He also wants to find a new account to solve the problem, but it is really hard to find a good account. It is too difficult to be good at arithmetic and loyal.

It was expected that this problem would be discovered, so he was not panicked at all.

Moreover, he knew that the account book could not be destroyed. Once the account book was destroyed, the people above might not know what to think. It would be even worse if they thought that the Qin family had hidden a large amount of property.

Wu Chunyu took the account book of the Qin Mansion and took a look. As the Minister of Finance, he was still good at accounting.

After just a while, he questioned Mrs. Qin and Qin Heng, "What's the matter?!"

Qin Heng: "It cost a lot to hold a wedding recently."

Wu Chunyu stared at him and asked, "Your Qin family spent so much money on a wedding?"

"Yes."

The Minister of the Ministry of Cang added, "The betrothal gifts and dowries of Qin Sheng and Lu Songli are all there, and the amount doesn't match."

Qin Zhao also helped, "The wedding time is too tight, and there are many things to be used for the betrothal gifts and wedding, and the grade cannot be too low, so the money spent is a bit too much, but the things are still in the warehouse."

What he meant was that the money was still there.

The problem is, the stuff in your warehouse is not worth so much money!

Wu Chunyu understood that the Qin family meant that their Qin family's wealth had shrunk, and they were made the scapegoat?

The Qin family insisted that all the money was spent on the entire wedding.

Wu Chunyu, who was responsible for confiscating the Qin family's property, was furious. The Qin family's property had shrunk by nearly one-fifth of their estimate. Who would be so happy to be the scapegoat?

All the floating wealth was gone! "Some of your Qin family's warehouses are so empty that mice can run! Is this normal?"

"It's normal."

"You tell me this is normal?"

"Whose family doesn't spend money to marry a wife?"

"Whose family spends so much money to marry a wife?"

"My family."

No wonder Wu Chunyu was angry. He was one of the officials who secretly supported the fourth prince. He knew that the fourth prince might take the throne this morning. So when Lin Ran asked someone to call him, he was still very happy and thought it was a good job. As the Minister of Finance, no one knew better than him how the national treasury was. The Qin family's wealth was added to the national treasury, and he could make a contribution, which would just win some favor from the new emperor, and he might even be promoted to a higher position.

But now the total amount of the Qin family's wealth is obviously not right. It has shrunk so much. If he puts it in front of the new emperor, he might be given the impression of being incompetent!

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me the truth. Where did the money go?" If there was a table, Wu Chunyu would have wanted to slam the table.

Qin Sheng said impatiently, "Aren't we telling you? Someone took it away. Do we have to make it so clear?"

Lu Songli protected the children in the back, while Qin Heng, Qin Zhao, and Qin Sheng negotiated in front. After listening to the whole thing from beginning to end, she probably knew what was going on.

In fact, all the cash was lost when they bought the betrothal gifts.

Because Qin Heng later asked her for advice, Lu Songli shared her experience without reservation.

Qin Heng: I learned it. So, there is this scene in front of us.

Qin Heng also sighed, "Yes, it was all earned by others, and we can't do anything about it."

"Are you the scapegoats?" Wu Chunyu couldn't bear it anymore, and almost called them fools.

"We didn't want to do it either. There's nothing we can do. Who made the wedding date so tight? We had to prepare so many things in such a short time. If we don't pay a high price, people won't sell them."

Wu Chunyu choked, could it be the Queen Mother's fault?

In fact, except for Qin Heng and Qin Zhao who handled it, no one else in the Qin family knew that Xiaoliu had spent so much money on this wedding.

If they had heard such news before the Qin family was raided, they would have felt a little uncomfortable. Just imagine, the wronged money alone has increased the family wealth by 20%. Now, if you don't spend it, it will be confiscated, and if you spend it, you can hear it, which is comfortable!

Finally, Qin Heng said, "Our accountant is a little old, and some accounts are not clear. Lord Bird, you have to bear with it. Anyway, the entire Qin family's finances are in the house, just count them slowly."

He meant that Lord Bird should be more open-minded, and some of the money is still in the house, and what is gone is gone.

Lin Ran and others don't care about these, they are only responsible for arresting or killing people, and when they see that the two sides have finished arguing, they are ready to take people away.

"Wait!" Wu Chunyu couldn't swallow this breath, "The clothes you are wearing may be fine, but I suspect that there are gold and silver finances hidden in them, so someone needs to check them before they can let them go."

Hearing this, the Qin family looked very bad.

Wu Chunyu didn't care, and directly ordered, "Go, find a woman!"

Lin Ran and others didn't move, this matter was not their business.

Sheng Huaian shook his head in his heart, this Wu Chunyu was really stupid, the Qin family did this, it was clear that they had anticipated certain things in advance and made corresponding preparations. In other words, even though he is now a prisoner, he still has power in the dark. What good does it do for him to offend the Qin family like this? Can the lost silver be returned by checking?

"You can check, but I don't agree with the other party's actions. Find a room, we can take off our clothes by ourselves, and she can only watch!" Lu Songli raised her chin slightly and said in a tough attitude.

Wu Chunyu was about to refute, but was stopped by Sheng Huaixing, "Sir Wu, the request of Miss Lu Er, the wife of the Sixth Young Master, is also reasonable." He emphasized the word Lu, just to remind him not to forget whose daughter the woman in front of him was.

Wu Chunyu is not stupid. As soon as Sheng Huaixing reminded him, he understood, but he felt that without Emperor Kang Cheng, Lu Desheng would be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.

"Okay, let's do it. Get the job done quickly and don't delay us." Sheng Huaixing made the final decision.

Inspection, naturally nothing can be found. The old woman was also responsible. She kept watching the movements of the women and even touched the clothes they took off, but there was nothing.

Before being escorted to the prison, the only thing that Madam Qin and the others were worried about was Qin Ming, whose body was kept in the side hall.

Just then, the Lu family received news that Jiang had arrived with her two sons, and the two groups of people just bumped into each other.

In fact, even if they met, the two sides could not say much.

"Mother, eldest brother, third brother and sister-in-law, A Sheng, if you don't mind, how about entrusting the funeral affairs of the fourth brother to my parents?"

"Okay, but it's a trouble for uncle and aunt."

Qin Sheng didn't say anything, but just held her fingertips tightly.

Lu Songli and Jiang said, "Mother, this matter troubles you and dad."

Jiang's eyes were red, and she nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, my parents will handle this matter."

At this time, the fourth prince was in trouble in the palace. Because the day before, Emperor Kang Cheng did not make him the crown prince smoothly. At this time, the second prince also rushed back to Chang'an from his fiefdom. Although the royal family Prince Gong produced the will to make the fourth prince Song Mo the next emperor, and the empress dowager also testified that the late emperor had told her that the next emperor would be the fourth prince, the second and third princes questioned it together, and Song Mo could not ascend the throne by force.
