Seeing that the shopkeeper's mood was about to collapse again, Wen Xiaoyun knew that if he didn't make an effort now, he might miss the best opportunity to ask for details.
"Shopkeeper Du, you must hold on," Wen Xiaoyun supported Shopkeeper Du and shouted urgently, "There is still hope now. As long as you tell us all the details, there is still hope of saving the money."
!”
Hearing Wen Xiaoyun's words, Shopkeeper Du finally had some hope.
He firmly grasped the servant's shoulders to support himself, and asked expectantly, "Is this young man telling the truth?"
"As long as you cooperate with all questions," Wen Xiaoyun went straight to the point, "When was the last time the bank was opened? Is there anything unusual? Are there any other signs of tampering in this room?"
The shopkeeper leaned on a servant, instructing him to take him with him to check every detail, "The last time I opened the bank was yesterday evening.
There seems to be something wrong in the middle, but I checked it carefully before putting it into storage, and I am sure there is no problem."
At this moment, a figure suddenly floated down from above the door.
It's Yinnuo who went to check the roof before.
"The roof is intact and there is nothing suspicious about it."
"My dear, nothing has changed, it's just that the money is gone." Wen Xiaoyun shouted unconsciously, "This is basically a secret room mystery."
She asked again, "I just said it was a little strange. Why is it so strange?"
Shopkeeper Du thought for a while, "This batch of silver was transported by water, but there was a strong wind during the period and the boat almost capsized. Fortunately, we were rescued in time and it did not cause a big mistake."
Just then, a shrill scream appeared again.
Everyone turned around quickly, only to see a layer of flames suddenly rising from the floor of the bank.
A few people could no longer care about their lives, so they turned around and ran out the door.
Soon after, a few people ran outside, and the entire bank was on fire from the inside out.
Everyone's expressions were frighteningly gloomy.
After a moment of reaction, Yin Nuo was the first to react. He yelled angrily at everyone, "We must not let the fire spread. Once such a fierce fire breaks out, most of Yanzhou Prefecture will suffer!"
Everyone was awakened by this sentence. They yelled for water, some yelled for water, and most of them ran to carry buckets and basins, and get water from wherever they could.
Even Wen Xiaoyun hurriedly joined the fire-fighting team.
Outside Du's Bank, Yin Tuiguan and the magistrate each came hurriedly from two different directions with their cavalry.
When he saw the extremely frightening thick smoke rising from the direction of the backyard, Prefect Wang almost cried.
He pointed at the black smoke and his voice was extremely trembling, "What day is it today? There hasn't been a major case in Yanzhou Prefecture for many years. How come there are two cases every time, and it's only one day?"
Yin Qianhua, with a gloomy face, sternly ordered all the people watching outside the door and the police officers who were maintaining order, "Everyone go to the water to put out the fire! Hurry!"
The expressions on everyone's face turned extremely ugly in an instant.
The cries of children, the screams of women, and the frantic footsteps of men trying to push through the crowd and go home to fetch water were all intertwined, creating a terrifying and hasty sound.
"Master Magistrate, there is a danger of fire here. You need to take shelter first and then direct the dispatch. I am here!" After Yin Qianhua said this, he led his men and horses directly into Du's Bank.
Wang Zhifu's face was extremely pale. He hesitated for a moment, then finally tightened his reins, shouted at his team, and followed me back to the Yamen quickly. The whole city was on alert!"
After saying that, he led the team and hurried away from the fire scene and flew away!
While everyone was rushing to put out the fire, a thunderous thunder suddenly exploded above their heads, and then the wind and cloud suddenly changed. Dark clouds as thick as ink billowed up instantly, and the sky that was bright just now turned dark in the blink of an eye.
Then raindrops as big as marbles poured down, hitting the roof with a crackling sound.
"It's raining!" a policeman pointed at the sky and shouted in surprise.
Others also had happy smiles on their faces, as if they were surviving a disaster.
This means that Yanzhou Prefecture was extremely lucky to escape a fire that would have devoured countless lives and property.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It feels like the bones in my body are falling apart due to dryness.
He raised his head to face the pouring rain, and his eyes almost became wet.
What a pitiful God! God bless my people in Yanzhou!
Our Yanzhou Prefecture finally escaped this disaster!
Wen Xiaoyun also breathed a sigh of relief, but his vision suddenly went dark, and he fainted as his body swayed.
The last scene in her memory was Yinnuo subconsciously reaching out his hand to help her.
When she woke up again, she was lying in the lobby of the bank's front yard.
Seeing her waking up, Yin Qianhua next to him immediately showed a smile of surprise on his face, "Jun'er, you're awake, don't worry, my uncle will send you home to rest."
"Father, there are not enough people to deal with the aftermath of the fire and to sort out and search for evidence. Where can anyone go to see him off alone?" Yinnuo, who stood aside with his arms folded, rolled his eyes and looked disgusted.
Only then did Wen Xiaoyun realize that his body had been so severely overdrawn that he went into shock and passed out.
After all, I had been digging in the mud, doing chemical medicine, running late at night, being beaten by Yin Nuo, and riding horses all the way. My body was tortured in all aspects, my brain was always running at high speed, and I didn't eat anything. It would be strange if he didn't faint.
But even so, she didn't want Yinnuo to send her away at all.
He has such a deep prejudice against her, and he will definitely not treat her kindly.
"Uncle," Wen Xiaoyun sat up, holding the back of the Luohan bed, and smiled to comfort Yin Qianhua, "Xiaoyun is fine, but she is a little too hungry. Xiaoyun can go back alone. My cousin is right, there is a lot of work here. There are too many facts. There is no need to send special personnel."
Yin Qianhua glared at Yin Nuo fiercely and told him to shut up with sharp eyes. He turned to look at Wen Xiaoyun and resumed the gentle look that a kind elder should have, "Jun'er, stop talking, my name is Mao'er. De send you."
Facing the care and concern of her elders, Wen Xiaoyun no longer refused, "Uncle, please pay more attention to your safety. This case is complicated and full of insidiousness. I will help you when Xiaoyun recovers."
"Silly boy, don't think about anything else first. Uncle has Yin Nuo here, so nothing will happen to you. Just rest in peace and recuperate."
"Yeah." Wen Xiaoyun nodded heavily, but found something a little strange.
Isn't Yin Qianhua the husband of Aunt Wen Zhujun?
She should always be called uncle, but why does he always call himself her uncle from time to time?
But this is not the place to talk.
Soon Wen Xiaoyun, accompanied by Mao Er, walked out of Du's Bank first.
Wen Xiaoyun looked up at the sky. Although it was still gloomy, the rain finally stopped.
"Brother Er Er," Wen Xiaoyun led the horse and looked sideways at Mao Er, "I'm curious about something. I wonder if Brother Er Er is convenient?"
Mao Er purred his horse ears with one hand, scratched his head with the other, and chuckled, "If Mao Er knows anything about it, I will definitely tell you, Wen Xingfang."
"Are the clothes of our yamen police officers so awesome? Are they not even afraid of fire?" Wen Xiaoyun told Mao Er vividly about Yin Nuo's heroic performance on the fire scene.
When Mao Er heard Wen Xiaoyun's praise of Yin Nuo, she almost burst into laughter, "It's not that the clothes of the head catcher are great, it's that our Yin Tou is great!"
"Oh, how do you say this?"
"We, Yin Tou, once had a master as our teacher in his early years. The teacher wanted to train Yin Tou to be a warrior on the battlefield. He taught him the skills to defeat thousands of people, but his father's fate was difficult, so he could only work as a catcher in the Yamen.
quick.
Master Yin Tou found out and felt very aggrieved, so he left. Before leaving, he even gave my Yin Tou a suit of clothes made of Huan cloth. He was so awesome!
Not to mention fire and flood, even ordinary swords cannot easily cut through it!"
Hearing this, Wen Xiaoyun felt faintly envious and jealous, "No wonder Yin Captou doesn't like the job of the Yamen Capturing Officer. With such a powerful experience, everyone wants to become a general."
When Mao Duo said this, he suddenly sighed, "Who says it's not the case? This is the only year that Yanzhou Prefecture has such an astonishing big case.
In the past, it was all trivial things like someone stealing someone's chicken, stealing a wife, old Zhang's son not caring for the old man, Wang's mother-in-law fighting with her daughter-in-law, etc.
Just these stupid things are going to drive our Yin Tou, who is more than capable of being a general, crazy and to death."
Wen Xiaoyun smiled unkindly.
Thinking about Yinnuo, a young man with a height of 1.89 meters, who has to do the errands of the neighborhood committee aunts of later generations, I really want to laugh when I think about it, and I can't stop laughing.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from above, "Mao Erdu, who asked you to send me so far? We don't have enough errands here, don't you know?"
Both Wen Xiaoyun and Mao Er were so frightened that they shivered.
The two of them looked up together to check, only to see Yin Nuo sitting under the wall, with one leg propped up and dangling on the wall.
