Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin
Chapter 871 Despair
There were three fires in Dongshi in one night. It was impossible to hide such a big thing.
Some dignitaries even got the news last night. Although they couldn't send people out to investigate because of the curfew,
But yesterday, the thick smoke and the fire shooting into the sky made it easy to determine the location of the accident.
Various shareholders of the Qending Chamber of Commerce and King Li Tai of Wei and King Li Zhi of Jin were all reported last night.
As soon as the morning market opened today, each store sent its person in charge to rush there. Not only them, but everyone who had a store in the east market came early.
See if your property is on fire, whether it is a shop or a workshop.
"Your Majesty, the one who kept watch yesterday was Youhou Wei. I have already inquired clearly. The three places where the fire broke out were in the west, south and north directions of Dongshi. There was no fire in the east.
Two of them are properties of Prince Ji's Mansion, and one is Princess Linchuan's flavor restaurant. It is said that it has been burned beyond recognition. "
On the way to the headquarters of the Qending Chamber of Commerce, Du Chuke reported to Li Tai's carriage.
After hearing this, Li Tai began to think deeply. There was no fire in the west, south, north, but the east, and it could be said that the property burned was all the property of Prince Ji's Mansion.
"Sure, go to the headquarters of the Qending Chamber of Commerce quickly."
Li Tai suddenly felt something bad. The headquarters of the Qending Chamber of Commerce was in the middle of the East City, less than a kilometer away from the Flavor Museum.
Something must have happened. He now had a terrible thought in his mind that he didn't even dare to think about.
The carriage sped up, speeding all the way, and soon arrived in front of the headquarters of the Qending Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, several people had arrived. Li Tai got out of the car with great difficulty and came to everyone and asked:
"What's going on? Why don't you go in?"
"I've met King Wei. Returning to the king, there was no response when we knocked on the door. It must be that the people inside are not awake yet, right?" the Lu family elder replied.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Open the door, open the door!"
The servants kept taking pictures of the store door, but no one responded.
At this time, everyone arrived one after another.
"What's going on?" Li Zhi asked hurriedly after getting off the car.
"Quickly, send someone to jump over the wall from the side door and take a look." Li Tai's heart became even more uneasy.
"Yeah, you guys jump in and open the door."
It didn't take long for the servants to open the latch from the inside, and everyone rushed in eagerly.
"Elder Qi, there is no one here."
"Come to think of it, there's no one here."
"Uncle Clan, there is no one in the backyard."
The aristocratic family arranged for people to search carefully, but no one was found.
"What's wrong, go take a look at the treasury." Wang Weitu shouted and ran towards the treasury.
Everyone also felt bad and followed suit.
The moment the vault door was opened, everyone stood stunned on the spot.
There were only boxes of copper coins in the vault and nothing else.
Where there should have been a pile of gold bricks in front of the cash box, there was now nothing.
"Where's the gold?" Wang Weiqi rushed in first, searching in vain around the place where Brick visited.
"No, this is impossible." The elder of the Cui family followed into the vault, followed closely by the others.
There is no barrier in the vault, and you can see every corner at a glance.
From doubt, disbelief, to final belief, shock, grief, and anger.
These people's emotions are constantly changing in their hearts.
Some people even tried to move the cash box and try to find it.
Li Tai was the calmest. The money had nothing to do with him anyway, it was clear to all bystanders.
"Everyone, the facts are right in front of us. We cannot help but believe that our gold bricks have indeed disappeared and been taken away.
The most urgent task now is to send people to look for clues. I suggest reporting to the officials and letting bad guys investigate.
Eight hundred thousand guan is not a small amount, and the government will definitely investigate it to the end.
Moreover, five thousand kilograms of gold cannot be transported very far at night. "
"Li Shen must have done it." Li Zhi's face was full of anger.
He is different from Li Tai. Li Tai was begged by him, and he himself has shares in the Chamber of Commerce.
"I also think it was Prince Ji who did it. Yesterday's fire burned all the properties of Prince Ji's house. Prince Ji was deliberately creating chaos so that he could take the opportunity to steal the gold." Wang Weidi also nodded in agreement with Li Zhi's view.
Others also felt that it must have been done by King Ji Li Shen.
"Everyone, we have no evidence whether Prince Ji did it. If things go wrong, he will sue us for slandering the prince.
It's better to report to the official as His Highness King Wei said. "The manager of the Zheng family is also relatively calm.
"Alas~" Li Tai sighed.
"Everyone, let your servants handle this. What I am most worried about right now is whether the batch of spices is still there."
"No, if goods are lost in the industrial park, the industrial park will have to compensate."
"Report~~~~~"
At this moment, a man dressed as a guard ran in from the sect and ran all the way to the crowd.
"Elder of the clan, there was a fire in the Yinshi warehouse last night, and there were not many spices left in it. Everyone stayed awake for almost an hour.
As soon as the city gate opened, the young man came in to report to the clan elders. "
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
"Old Yuan clan, Elder Yuan clan." When the elder Yuan clan heard the news, he fainted and fell to the ground. Fortunately, everyone supported him.
"It's over, it's over, everything is over." The Yuan clan leader was still mumbling to himself in the end.
"No, today is the day to settle with King Ji. If it was his fault, he would have already arrived there by now.
What will we use to deliver the goods to him then? We have to compensate him 2.4 million yuan. "The Cui family said anxiously.
"No, you're wrong, it's not 2.4 million yuan." Li Tai shook his head.
"Isn't it triple compensation?"
"It's triple compensation, but the premise is that the principal must be returned first, and then triple compensation. Now the principal of five thousand kilograms of gold is gone.
We want to give Lao Shiyi a total of 3.2 million yuan. "Li Tai said the number that shocked everyone.
"It's really unreasonable. This Li Shen is so vicious." Li Zhi punched the box hard.
They had already taken such precautions, but Li Shen still succeeded.
Li Tai glanced at Li Zhi and shook his head helplessly. Li Zhi was not like this before. In the past, Li Zhi was calm and tolerant.
He is neither impatient nor impatient when things happen, but ever since he faced off against Li Shen, his whole person has changed, especially after being defeated by Li Shen and shattering his illusions.
Li Zhi began to become emotionally unstable, irritable and restless, and Li Tai doubted whether Li Zhi was really suffering from hysteria.
"Let's report to the officials first, leaving the stewards behind to cooperate with the Yamen's exploration. Let's quickly go to the industrial park. Is there a big trouble over there? Alas~~~~" The Cui family elder sighed.
In the warehouse area of the industrial park, many people gathered here. They all heard that the industrial park had a fire yesterday.
Moreover, the warehouse burned was the Du family warehouse that stored spices worth 800,000 guan.
Everyone had a guess that the fire must be related to Prince Ji's Mansion, because as long as the Qunding Chamber of Commerce failed to deliver the goods, Prince Ji could receive compensation of 2.4 million guan.
