Chapter 446 Soldier Spider(1/2)
Zhan Zhao and others came to the door of Chen Yuanwai's stolen pawnshop and saw many people watching.
Chen Yuanwai stood at the door, looking red with a thick neck, and was very angry, complaining to Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, "Didn't you say that the Imperial City Army has been intensified to guard against the night? Why did you lose it? This is one million taels! What is the Imperial City Army doing?"
Zhan Zhao heard a rough answer and smiled slightly.
Bai Yutang looked at him, "What's so funny?"
Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi walked hand in hand, and they heard that everyone around them were talking about it outrageously, pointing the finger at the Imperial City Army.
Lin Ye didn't feel comfortable, "It's strange, shouldn't it be a mistake for the Kaifeng Mansion to not maintain good public order? Why are they staring at the Imperial City Army? Those who serve in the army are not constables, and they are still in charge of catching thieves?"
Yi Yi followed Lin Yehuo, took a few steps and looked back.
Lin Yehuo pulled her to her side and said, "Don't always look back."
Yi Yi said, "Brother, someone follows us."
Lin Yehuo smiled, "So you can't always look back. What if you don't follow me?"
"Oh." Yi Yi nodded and stopped looking back.
In front, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had long noticed that someone was following him. The person who was following him was just as good as his kung fu and dressed in plain clothes, and he didn't know what the purpose was.
"Mr. Zhan is here."
Several yamen runners were so annoyed by Chen Yuanwai that they were dizzy. When they saw Zhan Zhao coming, they quickly shouted.
When the people around were talking about each other, they were waiting to see the people coming to Kaifeng Prefecture, and they were all waiting to see the case. At the same time, everyone did not forget to sigh... Look at the style of Kaifeng Prefecture, bringing dragons and tigers out to investigate the case, which is extraordinary!
When Mr. Chen saw Zhan Zhao, he restrained himself a little, changed his dissatisfaction just now, changed into a grievance, and said to Zhan Zhao who was walking in front of him, "Sir Zhan, you have to make the decision for me! I have lost all my savings in my life!"
Zhan Zhao nodded with a smile, always kind, "The old man is not in a hurry, this case is easy to solve."
Chen Yuanwai was stunned and looked at Zhan Zhao - easy?
Zhan Zhao smiled slightly and continued, "There are few cases of theft in Kaifeng recently, most of which are murders. Your case is clean, and you lost a million taels and didn't even hurt a guard. Those who can do this are definitely familiars."
Zhan Zhao said, and saw that Chen Yuanwai's expression was a little stiff.
"Don't worry, old man." Zhan Zhao put his shoulder on the old man and turned around and pointed to the Meow Meow Tower in the distance, "See? There are people watching over my small building for twelve hours a day. They are sentries in the Ninth Prince's army. If you change the shift in two hours, when will you lose this silver?"
"Uh..." Chen Yuanwai was there stupidly, looking at the Meow Meow Tower in the distance.
Wang Chao came over and said, "Mr. Zhan, I checked the patrol schedule of the Imperial City Army yesterday. The case should have happened in these periods, but two of them overlap with the patrol time of the Kaifeng government yamen runners, so it can only happen around the fifth week. There is a man who fights the man who fights the mansion around the fifth week. We have already gone to find the man to see if he has seen anything."
Zhan Zhao nodded and comforted Chen Yuanwai, who was frivolous, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I'll send someone to find the sentry who had been on shifts at the fifth update last night. There will be clues when asked."
After saying that, Zhan Zhao called the yamen runners and said he wanted to go down to the treasury to take a look.
Chen Yuanwai stood there in a daze, and asked the people beside him, "That...there are guards in that small building? Can you watch? Will you not pay attention to anything..."
The people around him said lightly, "Those sentries are all checking at the border. Do you think they can watch it?"
Chen Yuanwai was shocked when he heard the tone of his speech. When he turned around, he jumped in fear... It turned out that he was asking Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang looked at him and suddenly asked, "When did the silver be sent?"
"Just... just yesterday afternoon." Chen Yuanwai said tremblingly. In fact, Bai Yutang is not an official, and there is no need to answer the questions he asked, but Chen Yuanwai is just out of control.
Bai Yutang asked expressionlessly, "Which is the waterway?"
"Yes." Chen Junwai nodded, "I used my car to go to the dock yesterday afternoon."
Bai Yutang looked at him, "What carriage? How many cars have you pulled in total?"
"Uh..." Mr. Chen opened his mouth, thought for a while, and said, "That... is just an ordinary carriage, and he has pulled more than twenty cars."
Bai Yutang looked at him again, but didn't say anything, and turned around and went in.
Mr. Chen was confused and turned around and saw two children standing beside him, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang.
"Yo." Chen Yuanwai hurriedly saluted, "Little Prince, Your Highness."
Xiao Sizi has always been very polite. If he greets Chen Yuanwai, Xiao Liang is not easy to deal with. He and Zhao Pu are masters and apprentices, and the people from the Zhao family army are close to him. Xiao Liangzi is a little bitch and always thinks that Chen Yuanwai is not a good person. I guess he has discussed with someone to find fault with Ouyang.
Xiao Liangzi looked at the old man up and down with his hands behind his back, then shook his head.
The old man was slightly stunned, and smiled and leaned over and asked, "Your Highness, why are you laughing?"
Lin Yehuo was right beside him. Although Xiao Liang was like a wild child on weekdays, he was the son of the wolf king Xiao Tonghai. He was the prince of the Wolf King Castle. No wonder the old man called him Your Highness.
Xiaoliangzi shook his head and sighed, "Oh... someone is going to be unlucky."
The old man was stunned, "Who is unlucky?"
Xiao Liangzi squinted his eyes and looked sympathetic, "My brother Ouyang just took office yesterday, and someone actually touched him badly. Isn't this clearly embarrassing him?"
The old man opened his mouth, "Uh..."
"Tsk tsk." Xiaoliangzi shook his head, "I think it must be done by an acquaintance."
Xiao Sizi nodded, "Yes, Dad also said it must be done by an acquaintance."
Xiao Liangzi sighed and whispered to Mr. Chen, "You don't know, Brother Ouyang is really angry... Tsk, who is the one who is trying to get caught by him, that person will be finished."
Mr. Chen swallowed, "What... I can't tell, General Ouyang looks very kind on weekdays."
"Hello?!" Xiao Liangzi moved the scoop a little higher, "You don't know, old man! Brother Ouyang is killing people without blinking!"
The old man was shocked, "Don't blink?"
Lin Yehuo looked at Xiao Liangzi silently and thought to himself, "Doesn't it matter if you say that the generals of the Song Dynasty?"
...
In the Jiuwang Mansion, Ouyang, who was about to treat him, suddenly raised his face and sneeze.
Zhao Pu, who was pouring tea for the imperial concubine at the table, looked at him disgustedly, and that meant - take medicine if you have a cold! My mother was infected!
Ouyang rubbed his nose and walked out, asking Zou Liang, who was expressionless, "Is anyone saying bad things about me?"
Zou Liang had heard the movie guard talk about the theft of Chen Yuanwai's treasury before. Neither Zhao Pu told Ouyang. When he heard him ask, he just smiled, "It's true that someone is going to be unlucky."
"Who is going to be unlucky?" Ouyang asked curiously.
Zou Liang looked at his heartless look, but he thought it would be good to ask Zhan Zhao to teach Chen Yuanwai and his group a lesson. At least he would kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and see who would still use tricks in the future.
As we were walking out, several people came towards us.
Ouyang and Zou Liang obediently gave in and saluted.
Who is so grand? It's Dadan.
The old man saw his daughter's face full of spring breeze, and he was always walking with wind.
There were several tribe members following Dadan, who seemed to be all descendants. These people were about the same age as Zhao Pu, and some of them were childhood playmates. They had become familiar with Ouyang and the others less than a day after they arrived.
The crowd said hello and entered the yard.
Zou Liang continued to walk out, but Ouyang looked back as he walked.
"Hey." Zou Liang pulled him, "What are you looking at? You are the commander of the Imperial City Army at least, don't look around when you walk."
Ouyang followed and said, "Is the totem of Dadan and their clan spider?"
Zou Liang looked disgusted, "Who would use spiders as totem?"
Ouyang scratched his head, "I think several people have spider tattoos on the back of their necks, which look pretty good."
Zou Liangxin said that spider tattooed on the back of his neck? But he didn't think much about it and went out with Ouyang.
...
Let Ouyang and the others down, and talk about Zhan Zhao who entered the vault.
After looking around, Zhan Zhao found that the underground vault looked much more grand than the woodshed used to save money in Bai Mansion.
There was a lock on the door, but it was just an ordinary lock. Zhan Zhao felt that if this official locked the vault with this kind of lock, then his disease of treating money like dirt should not be lighter than Bai Yutang. The vault was empty and there was a strange smell, like a musty smell and a smell that had been piled up for too long.
Yaoyao was going to come in with Zhan Zhao, but he leaned his head and smelled it, then retracted, squatting on it and flapping his wings.
Zhan Zhao gently touched his nose and smiled slightly - he said that there was no guard in this cellar, but it turned out to be a cellar for miscellaneous things. The pawnshop not only collected gold, silver and treasures, but also other things. The particularly valuable antiques, calligraphy and paintings are naturally found to be well collected. Usually, those who go to the pawnshop are too poor to open the pot, and the things they have to be used as strange things, including pots and pans. Where can these things be placed? They are naturally thrown in the cellar. So there are no guards near the cellar, and the door locks are also very ordinary... How could someone save millions of taels of silver here?
At this time, Bai Yutang also came down and whispered to Zhan Zhao, "The old man lied, one million taels of silver, and there were only 20 ordinary carriages."
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Where is the silver bill?"
"Who would hide the silver bills in the cellar? What should I do if the mouse chews it?" Bai Yutang reminded, "I didn't expect that there was a guard on the Meow Meow. I just scared Xiao Liangzi, but now I'm a little confused."
"I suspect there is no such money at all. Maybe it's just some other goods. The old man made up a lie and reported a false case." Zhan Zhao said, "This can explain why so much money was gone without realizing it."
Bai Yutang nodded, "No matter how stupid a person is, he knows that Kaifeng Prefecture will not give up, so in the end, the money will definitely be found."
"As long as the money is found outside the city or somewhere else, and it is not found by Kaifeng Prefecture and Ouyang's men... then their purpose will be achieved."
"So, a million taels of silver are stored somewhere?" Bai Yutang asked.
Zhan Zhao nodded with a smile, "It is not difficult to capture Chen Yuanwai, the difficult thing is to lead those who conspire with him."
When the two walked out, they saw the black shadow with a few sentinels of the Zhao family army, who were called by the yamen runners to cooperate with Zhan Zhao to act.
Zhan Zhao asked in front of Mr. Chen. The black shadow put away his usual hipster and smiled and looked at Mr. Chen with a suspicion. "Last night, Kaifeng Mansion was calm and there were no carriages and horses in it. I carried one million taels away? Old man, should you report a fake case?"
Chen Yuanwai was shocked, his face flushed, and he was busy arguing, "Oh... I have been doing business in Kaifeng for decades! How could I report a fake case? I transported the silver from the dock into the vault yesterday, and my friends were watching."
