Chapter 214: The food is gone
Chen Lisong followed Chen Xinsheng to the Huang family compound.
As soon as Zheng Laishun and Zheng Laifu saw Chen Lisong, they greeted him: "Hello Chen Jiaotou!"
"Don't call me Chen Jiaotou again! You two can call me Chen Lisong in the future." ”
Zheng Lai said: "Then call you Brother Lisong." ”
Zheng Laifu asked: "Do you say that there is really so much grain hidden under here? More than a thousand quintals, enough for us to eat in Fengshan for several years, right?"
"There really is, I've seen it with my own eyes and touched it with my own hands. Wang Kefu dug open the bag with a dagger, and the rice that flowed out was seen by Chen Lisong with his own eyes.
"But we went down and didn't find it. ”
Carrying an oil lamp, he walked down the tunnel.
came down together, as well as Zheng Laishun and Zheng Laifu, two brothers.
Underneath, the basement was empty.
Chen Lisong felt that this was impossible, and carried an oil lamp to illuminate the basement, but still found nothing.
Except for the traces of stacked grain bags on the ground, there is not a single bag of grain.
Chen Lisong asked, "How long have you been here?"
"It's been about two hours. We came to Huang Xiaoming according to the place he said, and he drew the location of the water tank for me, so that we could move the water tank and come down, but after we arrived, there was nothing here. ”
"Oh, didn't Liu Guolong bring you in?" Chen Lisong knew that Liu Guolong was going to keep a watch, so he only asked him to pick up the people from Fengshan at the gate of the Huang family's compound at night, and brought them in to point out where the water tank was and how to move food from the tunnel.
Chen Xinsheng said: "I don't know who Liu Guolong is. ”
Zheng Laifu said: "I know him, he is not a good person, he deceived Lin Sancai once." ”
Chen Lisong said: "He has already changed. Huang Daming and Zhao Dafu have cheated Liu Guolong, so Liu Guolong swore to me that he would never do anything bad again. Also, his daughter-in-law was just killed by three devils, and I'm helping him find these three devils to take revenge. ”
The basement was empty, and a cool breeze blew in through the vents, blowing the flames of the oil lamps around.
Zheng Laifu saw that the oil lamp was sufficient, and he suddenly became afraid: "Can we go up and say, is there a ghost in this underground?"
Chen Xinsheng said: "How can there be ghosts in this world, don't talk nonsense!"
"How did more than a thousand sacks of grain disappear out of thin air?
Zheng Laishun scolded: "Laifu, you talk so much, shut up for me!"
Chen Lisong saw that the basement was so big, and there would be no sacks of grain coming out when he looked for it, so he said, "Let's go up first." ”
Zheng Laishun said: "Yes, yes, let's go up and talk about it." ”
Walking up from the tunnel and out of the hole, Chen Lisong asked the Zheng Laishun brothers to help move the water tank back to its original place.
Out of the kitchen, Chen Lisong saw that the people in Fengshan were standing all over the yard, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at Chen Lisong, and he is extremely embarrassed.
He asked Chen Xinsheng, "Didn't Mr. Huang come with you?"
Chen Xinsheng responded: "After all, this courtyard is his brother Huang Daming's home, he said that he brought people in to move away the grain that his brother looted, and he always felt that it was inappropriate, so he only drew me a picture of how to get in, but he didn't come." ”
"That's right. But it shouldn't be, it's just a little strange, why hasn't Liu Guolong seen anyone anymore?"
Chen Xinsheng was worried that something would happen to Liu Guolong: "Although I don't know the Liu Guolong you mentioned, now that the food is gone, and we haven't touched him, he won't have an accident?"
Chen Lisong looked around the yard with an oil lamp again, and said, "Probably not, if something happens to him, there won't be any traces in the yard." ”
Zheng Laifu said: "The grain is missing inexplicably, could it be that Huang Daming's ghost took him away?" Besides, this person knows his face but doesn't know his heart, he deceived Lin Sancai once, could it be that he led someone to move the grain away?"
Chen Lisong said: "Impossible, his daughter-in-law was just killed by a devil, and now she just wants to kill a devil to take revenge." This man was originally a timid man, and I know very well what he is like. ”
Zheng Laishun kicked Zheng Laifu in the ass and scolded: "What nonsense?
Chen Lisong said: "Laishun, Laifu, you believe me, Liu Guolong will never be the kind of person you think, let's find him first." ”
He believed that Liu Guolong would not pull the grain away, and there were thousands of bags of grain stored in this underground granary, even if Liu Guolong had the intention to swallow the grain, it would be impossible to move it without leaving a trace for a while!
Chen Xinsheng said: "Don't look for it in the middle of the night." Besides, this grain was not originally from our Fengshan, and it doesn't matter if you have this food or not. ”
"No, it's not just about food, let's go to his house and see if he's there. Also, there was another girl who saw the grain with us yesterday, and now she is also in his house. ”
"Who is this girl?"
"Oh, a schoolgirl from the city. ”
"There are a lot of people in Fengshan, and if they all go to Chenzhuang, there will be too much movement, so there is no food to move now, so I will let them go back to Fengshan first." ”
"Hmm. ”
Zheng Laishun said: "Let's go with you." ”
Chen Lisong knew that Zheng Laifu seemed to suspect that Liu Guolong had moved the grain away just now, so he said, "It's okay, you two also know Liu Guolong, let's go together." ”
Chen Xinsheng asked the people from Fengshan to go back to Fengshan first, and only took Zheng Laishun and Zheng Laifu to follow Chen Lisong to Liu Guolong's house.
When Chen Lisong saw Liu Guolong, Liu Guolong fell asleep in front of his daughter-in-law's spirit. Chen Lisong gently woke up Liu Guolong.
Liu Guolong rubbed his eyes and said, "You just came back? I asked the people of Fengshan to move the grain." Today, I found that the brother of Fengshan was working with Lisuo, I counted, 1,123 bags of millet, and it only took an hour to move them, which is incredible!"
Chen Lisong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and turned his head to look at Chen Xinsheng.
Chen Xinsheng was speechless.
Zheng Laifu will be angry: "Do you mean that we moved the grain?"
Liu Guolong looked at Zheng Laifu blankly and asked, "...... you Aren't you from Windy Mountain?"
Chen Lisong asked, "What time do you see people from Fengshan coming to carry grain?"
"It's just dark, seven o'clock. ”
Zheng Laifu stepped forward and grabbed Liu Guolong's collar and asked, "Then did you see me at seven o'clock?"
Liu Guolong looked at Zheng Laifu seriously, shook his head and said, "No." ”
Zheng Laifu pointed to Chen Xinsheng and Zheng Laishun and asked, "Have you just met our political commissar Chen? Have you met my brother?"
Liu Guolong still shook his head and said, "I didn't see it." ”
Chen Lisong knew very well that the person Liu Guolong saw was not from Fengshan, so he asked, "How many people came at seven o'clock?"
"About thirty people, I didn't count them carefully. What's wrong?" Liu Guolong looked confused.
"They are not from the Wind Mountain, and the food has been lost. ”
