Chapter 48 Thunder rumbles in the sky, Song Yao is frightened

The strange behavior of the lawyer was seen by the clerk who was cooperating nearby.

The clerk held a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, and asked curiously , " Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?"

Old Zhang turned around and looked at the clerk in disbelief.

The clerk whispered , " What's wrong? Are you dazzled by the money? I've always said that in our line of work, you need to be able to remain calm. How much money is this? Wake up!"

Lao Zhang said anxiously , " No, no, no, I think I saw something else!"

The clerk was stunned, and followed Lao Zhang's gaze, and sure enough!

In the treasure chest, there was a row of white silver on the surface, but underneath it was all stones!

The clerk quickly shouted , " Manager Lu, Manager Lu! There's a problem!"

At the clerk's shout, Peng Lu immediately stood up, and Song Yao almost spit out the tea he had just taken.

He also stood up and stared at the clerk and Lao Zhang nervously.

Peng Lulong walked up to Lao Zhang with a tiger-like stride, frowned and asked , " What's the matter? What's the problem?"

The clerk pointed to the treasure chest and said , " There are a lot of stones in the box!"

Peng Lu was "greatly shocked" and pushed the two men away. He immediately used both hands to remove all the silver ingots on the surface of the treasure chest, revealing a box full of stones underneath!

Then, Peng Lu looked back at Song Yao in disbelief.

That look was like looking at a daring person who was about to die.

Hadanbaatar immediately shouted , " Don't move!"

The soldiers from the Governor's Office immediately drew their swords and surrounded the people from the Shenwei Escort Agency!

Although there were not many of them, only about thirty or so, this was the Governor's Mansion. Everyone in the Shenwei Escort Agency was panicked, and no one dared to resist. They just looked at these warriors with a puzzled look on their faces.

Song Yao rushed to the treasure chest, sweat dripping down his forehead, and scooped it up with his big hands, but all he found was rocks.

This box of dart silver, except for the silver ingots on the surface, is full of stones underneath.

Song Yao's face changed slightly, and he turned around and said angrily , " Song Qingzheng, what's going on!"

Song Qingzheng was even more panicked , " Master, I don't know either! When we left Yanyu County, except for the robbed car, nothing else was moved, not even out of sight. How could this happen?!"

What Song Yao is worried about now is not the problem with the box of silver. One box is only more than 5,000 taels, and he can afford to pay for it.

What he was afraid of was that he didn't know how many boxes of silver had problems!

What's more, even if the problem had been discovered earlier, and even if there were more boxes with problems, he would be willing to grit his teeth and accept the loss, and pay the difference out of his own pocket in advance.

But now the incident happened in the Governor's Mansion, which is a big deal.

Song Yao pretended to be calm and said , " Master General, some scoundrel must have secretly replaced the silver last night. Don't worry, we will double compensate you for this box of silver!"

Peng Lu pretended to be relieved, patted Song Yao on the shoulder and said:

"Master Song, how could you be so careless? I heard that you booked the entire restaurant last night and it was heavily guarded. I didn't expect the thieves to be so cunning that they could switch the silver like this. They are really amazing."

Song Yao quickly apologized with a smile , " Yes, yes, you sit first, sit first."

Peng Lu said loudly , " Remember the number of this box. Shopkeeper Song will compensate you separately. Continue to count!"

The accountants continued to take inventory, while Peng Lu and Song Yao returned to their chairs and sat down.

Peng Lu continued to drink tea, but Song Yao was no longer in the mood to serve tea.

Oh my God!

Please protect me, just this one box, just this one box!

If anything goes wrong again, even if I pay double compensation for everything, I still won’t be able to leave!

This is not a question of money, this is a question of teasing the Governor's Mansion!

Song Yao nervously looked at the masters who were taking inventory in an orderly manner, feeling a little strange in his heart.

It was very quiet last night, nothing unusual. How did the thief manage to steal a whole box of escort money?

Could it be done by Hua Duxiu?

The spies reported that Hua Duxiu had not come out all night since she returned to Huashi's villa. She only came out of home with Shen Lijia early this morning.

If it wasn't Hua Duxiu, who would have done it?

Song Yao glanced around, and suddenly, a handsome face came into view.

Sounds familiar?

who is it?

What is he laughing at?

Song Yao didn't have time to think about it, as another advisor shouted , " Manager Lu, this box is also made of stones!"

Peng Lu stood up immediately, Song Yao shivered and rushed over.

Sure enough, similar to the previous box, this box, except for the surface layer, is almost entirely filled with stones!

Song Yao's face turned green.

The most feared thing finally happened.

It’s really more than one box!

Peng Lu raised his hand , " Everyone stop!"

Four groups of eight advisers stopped their work at the same time, including hundreds of bodyguards and dozens of soldiers from the Governor's Office, all staring at Peng Lu.

A trace of cold sweat slid down Song Yao's forehead.

Peng Lu asked gloomily , " Manager Song, you can do it once or twice, but not again and again? If there are always problems, how can I explain it to the Governor?"

Song Yao shuddered: "You can't do it again? You want to give me another chance?"

Song Yao quickly clasped his fists and said , " This, this is really unexpected! I will double the compensation for this box! I am really... sorry!"

Peng Lu asked , " What if there is another problem?"

Song Yao wanted to say double compensation for everyone, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

What if there are more treasure chests with problems and I pay double for all of them, how much will I have to pay?

It's not just a matter of paying money. Last night, he and Song Qingzheng were on guard respectively, day and night. Although they were said to be on guard separately, Song Yao actually didn't close his eyes the entire night, and was carefully listening to the movements around him. There was no way anything could go wrong, right?

It was so quiet last night that I couldn't even hear a mouse breathing.

Unless it was a ghost who came to exchange the stone!

Isn't this the problem that happened last night?

When was that?

A chill rose from his back, and Song Yao was really a little scared.

I'm afraid there is a huge conspiracy here?

But Peng Lu didn't give him too much time to think and pressed him:

"You brought the goods here with you. We counted them on site, and everyone saw it clearly. Now I ask you, if there are problems with the third or fourth box, how will you solve it?"

"Or, should I go to see the Governor now and ask him to give me instructions directly?"

Song Yao shuddered again. Did he alarm the governor?

Goodbye.

If you want to make a fuss, wait until we're gone. Pay the full amount and clean up your mess before making a fuss!

Life is important!

Song Yao quickly clasped his fists , " But for the parts that went wrong, Shenwei Escort Agency is willing to pay double compensation! Please be gracious and give me another chance to compensate and make amends!"

Peng Lu said , " Okay, I will agree on behalf of the Governor's Office. Any shortage of money for the escort will be paid double by Manager Song. You are all witnesses."

"The Governor is very busy, so please don't disturb him with these two boxes for now."

Peng Lu waved to Hadanbaatar , " Continue counting!"

The warriors sheathed their swords. Song Yao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to himself: Please don't let anything happen again!

Two boxes. I, Song Yao, can afford the compensation.

No matter how much it is, I can afford the compensation. The only thing I’m afraid is that after paying the compensation, I won’t be able to walk out of the Governor’s Mansion!

The lawyers continued to work and take inventory.

"Master Butler, there is something wrong with this box!"

"Report, there is a problem with this box too!"

“And this box…!”

Song Yao's legs went limp, stars appeared in his eyes, and he almost fell to the ground. He was quickly supported by a second-generation disciple beside him.

Song Qingzheng had no one to help him and had already fallen to the ground.

Peng Lu was furious . " Don't count yet. Remove the silver ingots from the surface of all the treasure chests and see how many chests have problems!"

The lawyers rolled up their sleeves and started cleaning up, and everyone's faces became more and more ugly!

Another disciple supported Song Yao from behind. Song Yao's old face had lost all color.

Because there are too many treasure chests with problems!

The total number comes to twenty-three boxes!

Almost half of the treasure chests have been swapped!

Fortunately, there was no problem with the boxes of silver bills. Those boxes alone weighed more than 100,000 taels of silver. If they were replaced again, Song Yao would probably faint immediately.

Peng Lu no longer needed to be angry.

After a rough calculation, Peng Lu found that the amount was not much different from what the governor had told him privately, and he had an idea.

Without even looking at Song Yao, he said loudly , " Hadanbaatar!"

Bater clasped his fists and said , " I am here!"

"Keep watch on the scene, no one is allowed to move around!"

"yes!"

Peng Lu left Song Yao behind and walked away quickly.

What is he going to do?

Song Yao knew without thinking that he must be going to see the Governor.

It's a big deal...

Song Qingzheng sat on the ground dejectedly. He was completely confused.

Song Yao was still able to think: This definitely didn't happen last night!

It must have been replaced before the escort team entered the city!

Song Yao's eyes were sharp, and suddenly he saw the two smiling teenagers standing not far away.

More than thirty guards from the Governor's Mansion, eight advisers, and even the leader Hadanbaatar, all had serious expressions, except for these two who were trying hard to suppress their laughter.

Song Yao took a closer look and suddenly shouted angrily , " Hua Duxiu! It's you!"

The handsome guard said , " Boss Song, please don't yell. You got the wrong person."

After saying that, Hua Duxiu couldn't help laughing again.

Did Song Yao recognize the wrong person?

Of course, there was no mistake. Hua Duxiu deliberately dressed up as a guard of the Governor's Mansion just to see the excitement of Shenwei Escort Agency.

Song Yao gritted his teeth and said , " Hua Duxiu, it's you! You don't have to pretend, I'll recognize you even if you turn into ashes! Tell me, are you responsible for this!"

Hua Duxiu smiled and said , " No, you don't recognize it. I'm not. I don't have it. Don't talk nonsense!"

Song Yao was so angry that he told lies with his eyes open in front of his face. Is there anything more outrageous than this?

Song Yao saw again the fat man next to Hua Duxiu who was laughing so hard that his branches were trembling.

"Shen Lijia! You are here, and you still say you are not!"

Hua Duxiu was very happy , " You really got the wrong person. My name is 'Zhao Buzhu', and this is my brother, whose name is 'Zhao Dezhu'. Where are there people named Hua and Shen?"

"fart!"

Song Yao's face turned red with anger. Hadanbaatar interrupted , " Boss Song, I advise you not to make a noise. This is the Governor's Mansion."

Song Yao pointed at Hua Duxiu and said angrily , " This matter must be related to him! It must be Hua Duxiu who did it!"

Song Yao was so angry that he clenched his fists and his fingers crackled, but he didn't dare to rush up and beat Hua Duxiu up.

Because you can’t beat him?

He had seen the battle between Hua Duxiu and Fu Yuntong.

Song Yao thought to himself, if I couldn’t beat you, I would have beaten you up this morning!

Ah.

In fact, even if he could win, he would not dare to act rashly in front of Hadanbaatar.

This man was a native general who came from Snake Valley. He only listened to the instructions of Governor Peng and would not reason with anyone else.

If Song Yao dared to make trouble, he would definitely take action immediately, lead his brothers to give Song Yao a severe beating, and then put him in jail.

Song Yao was trembling all over and gritting his teeth. Hua Duxiu and Shen Lijia had smiles on their faces and were laughing in their hearts. They were extremely happy.

The internal injuries that caused me to vomit blood due to anger are now healed!

Hua Duxiu thought to himself: It turns out that the medicine cures all diseases!

Heart disease really needs to be treated with heart medicine!

Seeing that Song Yao was still able to hold back his anger, Hua Duxiu said with a smile , " Boss Song, I am very sad to learn that you are going to have bad luck today. I express my deepest condolences for your misfortune!"

Hua Duxiu said that he was sad, but there was actually no sadness on his face. Instead, he was full of smiles.

Hua Duxiu asked , " Life has its ups and downs...it's so exciting. Are you surprised by today's scene? Is it unexpected? Is it exciting?"

Song Yao said angrily , " You are so ridiculous!"

Hua Duxiu laughed loudly and said , " I am laughing at a fool!"

Shen Lijia laughed loudly and said , " Are we just laughing so stupidly? Haha, haha!"

Song Yao finally couldn't bear it anymore and felt a surge of energy and blood in his chest, and two hot streams suddenly spurted out from his nostrils!

"puff……!"

Song Yao was so angry that he spurted blood.

The two bodyguards supported Song Yao. Song Yao's nose and mouth were full of blood, and he stared at Hua Duxiu and gasped.

His face was sometimes bright red and sometimes pale.

Hua Duxiu said , " Alas, why are you as stubborn as that commander? Don't be like this. If it causes discomfort in your anus, the consequences will be serious. You will have to see a proctologist."

Song Yao was furious, and his body jumped up like a spring , " Hua Duxiu! I *******!"

At this moment, a majestic and angry voice sounded from outside the wall , " Who is talking nonsense in the Governor's Mansion?!"
