Chapter 260 The Silver Is Gone



Finally one day, after the eldest sister had another quarrel with the marquis, the eldest sister was angry and went to the temple with her children to stay for a while to pray for blessings, leaving her brother-in-law behind.

She went to comfort her brother-in-law as usual, but ended up going to the bed of Marquis Dingbian.

The elder sister just hasn't gotten over the pain of losing her son, but she's not stupid. She's also a good housekeeper, but she never expected that the two relatives she trusted the most would betray her.

As the head of the family, even if she left the mansion, she still had her insiders. This matter soon reached her ears.

Pain, shock, disbelief. But everything has already happened, and it's too late to regret it.

The two people she trusted the most dealt her the most fatal blow when she was at her most sad. This became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Although afterwards the Marquis repeatedly said that he was confused because of drinking and had no feelings for her.

However, the more sincere a person is, the less likely they are to forgive their lover's betrayal. The strong character of my elder sister meant that there was no turning back between them.

But what she didn't expect was that while her elder sister sent people to investigate the cause of the child's accident, she also proposed a divorce to her brother-in-law!

Even if Marquis Dingbian swore to his death that he would never marry me as a concubine!

The elder sister still wanted to leave without looking back. Her stepmother tried to persuade her, and the old marquis and his wife tried to keep her. But what about that woman?

Even though she is the eldest sister and no one cares about her, the elders of the two families still pamper and coax her. Everyone thinks that she is excusable and that she and the Marquis are the culprits?

It's obviously the elder sister who is narrow-minded and not generous enough! Why doesn't anyone blame her?

The stepmother actually disregarded the face of the two mansions and was determined to support the stepmother in leaving the Marquis' Mansion!

Why, why do you treat the person whom I have tried my best but still cannot get like a piece of trash like a piece of trash? It has been like this since I was a child, and I can only pick up the one you don't want?

They are all the Marquis' women, so I deserve to be the one who is abandoned and bullied?

Thinking of the past, a hint of madness flashed in Ding's eyes!

So what if they were in love, so what if they didn't like each other, my elder sister was burned to ashes in the end, and I have enjoyed the treatment of a marquis's lady for more than ten years.

She will never allow others to ruin her life!

No one can do it!

Ding had an idea in mind, so he asked the people around him, "Let Ding Dazhuang come to see me!"

Ding Dazhuang was the captain of the guards whom she had requested from her father, Marquis Changping. He had a small team of people under him who only obeyed her orders and specialized in helping her deal with some shady matters.

This man is highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless, and is deeply trusted by Ding. He is now one of her confidants.

Ding Dazhuang came over quickly, "What do you want, Madam?"

Ding ordered, "Take your men to ambush in Tui'er Hutong. Don't let a single fly go. If anyone comes to take the box, arrest them immediately. If you can't catch them alive, you can kill them. Don't let them get away!"

Ding Dazhuang was surprised and said, "Rentui'er Hutong is a dead end. As long as you guard the entrance, people inside can't get out. Except for those who go in to dump swill in the morning, there is no one at night.

How could someone meet there? Is there a trick?"

Ding was also surprised: "Dead end?"

Did this person do it on purpose, or was he just too confident and didn't take her seriously at all?

"No matter who it is, anyone who enters tonight must be captured!"

"yes!"

…………

Ding sat quietly all night, but Ding Dazhuang did not come to report. She prayed in her heart that nothing would happen to the banknotes, because she had secretly embezzled the money from the palace. She bribed the second housekeeper to borrow it for only one day.

That was the money that the Marquis had saved to buy winter clothes for the soldiers in the northwest. If she couldn't make up the difference on time, the Marquis would kill her alive.

Unfortunately, God did not bless her to have her wish come true.

The next morning, Ding Dazhuang rushed in, sweating profusely, and knelt down in front of her with a bang.

The other party looked very embarrassed and replied in a hoarse voice: "Madam, I have been on guard all night and did not see anyone like this enter Tui'er Hutong!"

Ding stood up suddenly: "No one, where is the banknote? Did you get it back?"

Ding Dazhuang remained silent and lowered his head even more. Mrs. Ding had a bad feeling in her heart.

really

"The banknotes... the banknotes have disappeared!"

Ding was completely shocked. She stood up like a madman, not caring about the difference between men and women, and grabbed the other person's clothes.

"Nonsense, no one went in, how could the banknotes disappear? Do you think I'm a fool who can be deceived?

Tell me quickly, where is the banknote? Did you steal it secretly? "

Ding Dazhuang didn't dare to say more. How could he dare to lie about such a thing!

………

Fish warehouse full of fish, private room on the second floor!

Zhang Yun happily handed a box of banknotes to Qiao Xin.

"Madam, the 150,000 taels of silver notes have all been retrieved."

Xin did not accept it, but told him: "This is Dajing's banknote. It can be withdrawn in any city.

Divide into several groups and disguise yourself, and exchange the silver as quickly as possible before they react. Remember, you must disguise yourself. "

"I understand. But they never dreamed how the banknotes disappeared out of thin air!"

"It won't be hidden for long. After losing so much silver, the other party will definitely not give up. If you look carefully, you can find the fire bricks in that place.

What I am worried about now is that they will do anything in desperation, so you must be quick and try to go to a place as far away as possible. After taking the silver, you should divide the silver up and carry it with you on the spot.

Anyone around me should not leave the city these days, so as not to attract the other party's attention!"

Qiao Xin’s guess was correct. The other party was not stupid either. When they returned to the scene for the second time, they discovered the key to the disappearance of the banknote.

Tui'er Hutong is indeed a dead end, but the other party chose it without any thought of sending people from the front to collect the banknotes.

Instead, they made the wall tiles of the泔水桶 where the boxes were placed into loose-leaf tiles in advance. The other party had already rented houses on both sides of the alley.

As soon as the silver box was placed there, he took advantage of darkness when visibility was obstructed, opened the box and took out the silver bills inside without anyone noticing.

Obviously, all this was planned long ago.

By the time they discovered the trick, the other party had already fled with the silver bills.

Now the silver is gone. It is still unknown whether the person in the other party's hands is real or fake. They don't even know who the enemy is.

This is really a case of losing both the wife and the army.

Knowing that everything was irreversible, Ding was already panicking. When he was about to return the silver, the chief steward of the outer courtyard was about to come back to collect the silver for the marquis.

That man is the Marquis's confidant, so such a huge deficit on the books cannot be concealed.

Mrs. Ding paced back and forth in the room anxiously, not knowing what to do!
