The young couple exploring the basement at night

His view is contrary to the Four Lotus, the Four Lotus is strange,

"Why did Xiaolin think so?"

Mou Biao said,

"Two ships of grain... from Tongzhou to Beijing by carriage, where does it take, how much time and how many people will take to replace all grain with sand and gravel without anyone noticing it. What do you want to After that, two ships were placed in the warehouse in Tongzhou, and then the two ships were transported away immediately as soon as they arrived. People came and went to Tongzhou wharf, and how to change grain in full view of everyone... Have you ever thought about all this?"

Si Lian frowned beautifully when she heard this, and nodded after pondering for a long time.

"Xiao Lin is right, it's because I'm thinking too simple!"

Indeed, two ships of grain carriages also need a convoy. It is not difficult to replace them with sand and gravel in a short time. The difficulty is how it is without any knowledge, and even entered the basement of Mou Mansion for so long before it was Being discovered?

You should know that Tongzhou is not far from the capital. In order to prevent accidents, Zeng Lu'er escorted the road halfway, and then the manager of Mou's mansion took him to the capital. If there are really many people who can change the pillars at once, wouldn't that mean this road Above, Zeng Lu'er, the manager and these coachmen who transported them were all sold?

And so long afterwards, no news was revealed at all?

If the person who exchanges food really has this ability, why should he spend this effort to exchange food? Wouldn't he be stronger if he trades himself?

As soon as Mou Biao said this, Si Lian nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Xiao Lin is right, I really think less, that's the reason!"

"Well...so...I think this matter is probably still in the old house!"

Mou Biao said with a smile,

"Fortunately, you are smart. As soon as you find something wrong, you immediately blocked the basement and prevented people from entering and leaving the scene at will. We will go and take a look tonight, maybe we can find clues!"

Even those who were suspicious of the old house would plan to go in quietly tonight, and even Liu was not alarmed, so they quietly entered the old house.

After the couple entered, they closed the door and began to slap the torch inch to search for traces. Both of them were as careful as their hair. When they looked, they could see some clues. Si Lian pointed to the ground and said,

“Too clean!”

Mou Biao nodded. He grew up in this Mou Mansion since childhood. He naturally knows this database better than Silian. He is also loved by his own father. He often comes here to find something to play. He naturally knows what Mou Bin is. Where are the things placed!

The places where valuables are stored in this house are packed with big boxes and placed on shelves. Generally, they will not be moved easily after storage. There is a dedicated person responsible for counting and accounting, and the things in the warehouse are in the warehouse. The preciousness is all settled by Mou Bin himself. Except for Mou Biao who occasionally comes in to see, the family Liu can come in, while Xiao Ku in the study room cannot even enter Liu.

Later, Mou Bin "died" and the brothers separated. Mou Biao led several brothers in, and followed the same points on the list and let people move them away, so what was the last thing here? It is clear that there are piles of neatly stacked grain bags in the warehouse now, but the place next to it is empty, so you can easily see it clearly.

You should know that according to Liu's words, the basement was useless in front of the basement and no one needed to clean it. After they left Beijing, the grain entered Beijing. After the grain was entered, the basement was closed and never opened. They walked closer. In March, I returned to Beijing until the end of the day and did not move. I didn’t enter the warehouse to inspect it until now in winter, so there should be a lot of dust in the warehouse.

Mou Biao squinted his eyes and patrolled the ground, then looked at the location where the warehouse door and grain bags were piled up, and asked,

"How many bags of food did you come in that day?"

Silian pointed to the grain bags piled against the wall in the south.

"Because of this food matter, too many people can't know. When we came in, it was just me, Hongtao, mother-in-law, a mother-in-law, and two girls..."

She turned and walked to the north direction of Kumen.

"When we came in, we walked straight in from the warehouse gate... and then we found that something was wrong with the food, so we called four servants to come in and move the food bag..."

Fortunately, Silian grew up listening to Jia Jincheng talking about various cases in the yamen when she was young. When she found something happened to Curry, she asked someone to come in and move, so she was very careful and only asked the four servants to do so.

Move the grain bag along the wall, and put all the grain bags along the south wall, and did not walk around, so the Curry had no exception of the footprints of these people walking in the chaotic area and the wall.

There are footprints next to you!

So...too clean!

What about the footprints when transporting food?

Except for the footprints of Silian and the others entering the warehouse at the back, there were no footprints next to them, and there was only a thin layer of dust on the entire ground, which was not like the warehouse that had been closed for nearly two years!

This is not an ordinary truth!

Silian thought for a while and said,

"Maybe my mother-in-law has someone cleaned it?"

Mou Biao shook his head,

"Probably not!"

Mou Biao knew about this. This library was originally used by Mou Bin, and it was always filled with valuable things at home. Later, the brothers broke up and the house was empty. Liu was already sad about her husband.

Stay away, I stayed in this mansion and saw what my husband left behind. I hoped that he might come back to me if he was tired of traveling one day, so I ordered someone to seal the front study room. The decorations inside should not be moved.

She occasionally went to clean herself, and the warehouse was the same, and it was always closed. The empty warehouse, Liu naturally would not come to clean it, but he would not make people move the place, so it would most likely accumulate dust.

If Silian's grain could not be found in the future, Liu would probably not have moved here!

After Mu Biao said this, Si Lian thought about it and nodded.

"You're right!"

It is very easy to verify it, and then I will know after asking Liu!

Mou Biao snorted,

"It seems that someone entered the warehouse and replaced the grain. He was afraid that the footprints would be exposed, so he cleaned the warehouse..."

But isn’t this a bit unnecessary?

Curry was already trampled on, wouldn’t it be more reasonable not to clean it?

Speaking of this place, Silian immediately responded,

"We can see two points from this. First, the thief has a lot of time to steal. Maybe it's like an ant moving, changing the food bit by bit. Second,..."

She looked down at the ground,

"The ash on the ground is only a thin layer. It seems that it should be cleaned soon, after we returned to Beijing, or when the food shortage in Beijing began..."

So this person must have known the news of the Mou Mansion, so it may be that there is an internal thief in the Mou Mansion!

Mou Biao nodded,

"But... although after my father left, all the powerful guards in the mansion had been withdrawn, there were also a few very smart and capable people in the ward who were loyal to the Mou Mansion..."

There are a few of them that were left by Mou Bin. The eldest brother Mou Wen and Mou Biao also know about this, so these people will definitely not betray the Mou Mansion. So... how do you transport so much food out?

of?

Mou Biao's eyes began to search around Curry, but the light was dim and I couldn't see clearly. He took the torch in Silian's hand and began to search along the corner of the wall. With his eyesight, he also looked back and forth several times before he found a

Where something strange,

"Si Lian..."

He signaled Si Lian to come forward to take the torch, and he took action at the base of the wall. He used internal force in these few strokes, and then brushed the wall with white paste as he clawed down.

It fell down, revealing the original soil inside. Mou Biao was stunned, snorted from his nose, and simply slapped it with a palm, which made the wall fall a lot again.

"look!"

Mou Biao pointed at the round mud wall,

"Someone dug a hole here, and I think the food was transported from here..."

Four lotus is puzzled,

"Can the grain be transported away just by relying on this mud hole?"

Mou Biao smiled and said,

"I heard from my dad that when our warehouse was built, we dug two feet deep, and built a wall with rammed earth and bluestone on all sides. The cracks of the wall were made of glutinous rice slurry and mixed with secret recipes. This is my dad's private

I asked a craftsman who built a house in the palace, so it was very strong..."

After saying that, he patted the wall beside him with his hand. Sure enough, his internal force was spitting out, and the wall was still motionless, and only the top was painted white.

"Look... there are bluestone everywhere, but this place is mud. Someone dug into Curry from outside, replaced the food bit by bit, and moved it away!"

Mou Biao squinted his eyes and looked at the square, angular openings of the hole, and suddenly slapped him with a palm.

"Bang……"

With a sound, the mud at the entrance of the cave was sealed with only a thin layer, and he slapped open the dark hole inside, revealing the dark dark hole inside.

"ah……"

Silian exclaimed, Mou Biao smiled, reached in and touched the cave wall,

"Look at this method, the mud in the oil is tight and solid, and it is not something that a thief can do..."

This slap is so thick that it can be dug out, which is not something that ordinary thieves can do!

The Jinyiwei is both black and white. This famous thief in the world was named here. As far as Mou Biao knew, such a good art was like the one from the east of the city, but the one from the kidnapping.

I had a lame leg and had already washed my hands. I don’t know which apprentice he made!

Mou Biao smiled and said,

"With this hole...thing is easy to deal with!"

Finally there is a clue!

Mou Biao was not in a hurry to explore where the other end of the cave was leading, but he led Silian back home and rested for one night on the second day. Silian went to Liu to ask about someone cleaning the warehouse before, and Mou Biao

He led his men to the Zhang family of the Guaizi in the east of the city.

Guaizi Zhang was not originally called Guaizi Zhang. He used to be a tomb robber in his early years. He swung a shovel with a good hand. The holes he dug were robbed by an expert. He was used to comparing the situation and robbing the holes he made.

He doesn't need a piece of wood to make a rack if he digs ten feet out, so he can get out of it all. His ability is very famous in the world!
