Chapter 171: Only by being prepared can you have no fear
Fan Tie's cooperation made Liao Weizhang somewhat surprised, which also made him more vigilant in his heart, being able to take charge of the huge Wu Ji Rice Warehouse, Fan Tie is definitely not such a timid and afraid person on the surface, he not only pretended not to know, but also cooperated so much, unless it really has nothing to do with Wu Ji Rice Warehouse, I am afraid that Liao Weizhang has already been prepared.
It would take less than two hours for him to get the news down the mountain again, and Lou Qu also said that the news did not spread outside Yangshan Academy, if Fan Tie had already prepared, then where did this news come from?
Fan Tie wiped the sweat from his forehead from time to time, and asked cautiously, "How do you want the grass people to cooperate?"
Liao Weizhang carefully observed the latter's facial expression, but he only saw a look of panic, and he became more and more puzzled in his heart, and said seriously: "Yangshan Academy bought rice and grain from here?"
Fan Tie nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, nine times out of ten, the eastern part of Linxi is taken from Wu Ji Rice Warehouse, and Yangshan Academy is also a regular customer, and it has been safe and sound, I don't know why the adults asked?"
"Hmph. Liao Weizhang snorted coldly and said sharply: "I see that you have been in business for a long time, and you got carried away, and it was shoddy, and the disciples ate moldy rice today, and they fell ill one after another, but fortunately the toxicity was not strong, so no one died, do you know how much of a crime you have committed?"
Fan Tie was still a little stunned at first glance, as if he didn't understand, and after seeing that Liao Weizhang was not joking, his eyes widened and he defended loudly: "My lord is wronged, the grass people have been managing Wu Ji Rice Warehouse since they started, and they have always been disciplined, and they have never done anything out of the ordinary, let alone shoddy. ”
Liao Weizhang is also not surprised by such a statement, nine out of ten suspects shouted that they were wronged, and he said with a calm face: "Whether it is wronged or not, this official will find out, and this official will not let go of the guilty, let alone wronged the good people." It's just that today's Wu Ji rice warehouse, the official wants to see it anyway. ”
Fan Tie had a grievance on his face, but he still nodded and said, "My lord, I want to see it, and the grass people will immediately let people open the warehouse door." ”
Liao Weizhang waited for this sentence, Wu Ji rice warehouse is so big, there are twenty or thirty warehouses next to this area, in order to avoid the problem of not being able to take care of it at the same time, he has asked his subordinates to guard the door of each warehouse, and no one is allowed to open the door or enter or exit.
The main warehouse used on weekdays was opened, and Fan Tie brought Liao Weizhang in and let him search everywhere.
Liao Weizhang checked it around, and it took almost two pillars of incense, and it was already dark at this time, so he couldn't finish the investigation all night. This kind of thing is just to be caught off guard, and now that Fan Tie already knows, if he is given a chance to react, I am afraid that the evidence that should be there will also be destroyed.
Seeing that his face was calm, Fan Tie asked tentatively, "Do you want to go to the next room?"
"No warehouse can be leaked. Liao Weizhang spoke, turned around and commanded a few words to the subordinate next to him, the subordinate nodded, and after a while, he rushed away with his sword.
Fan Tie also knew the looks, and made an invitation: "Adults are also tired, why don't you go to the front hall to rest for a while and eat coarse tea?"
Liao Weizhang glanced at him and snorted: "I'm a little thirsty." ”
The two moved to the front hall, Fan Tie first asked people to serve refreshments, and then ordered people to prepare wine and food, but Liao Weizhang refused. Fan Tie didn't insist on it, so he sat down to eat tea and chat with Liao Weizhang.
All the people brought by Liao Weizhang before have been sent to various warehouses to guard, if there is any change, they will report immediately, and they are not afraid that Fan Tie will take the opportunity to do something, so they are not worried, they just concentrate on eating tea and saying something innocuous about it.
Fan Tie seemed to have done nothing wrong, he was still nervous at first, but this time he was relaxed, he was a businessman, and he saw and heard a lot when he went south and north, so he talked with Liao Weizhang, if it weren't for the one just now, I am afraid everyone would think that the two are friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.
After chatting for only a stick of incense, there was a dense sound of footsteps outside, Liao Weizhang took the lead in putting down the teacup and getting up: "It's not too early, the official will continue to search, the tea will be left here first, and when the official is done searching, it will not be too late." ”
Fan Tie smiled and said, "My lord, please." ”
Liao Weizhang walked out of the front hall and came to the compound, more than fifty people were neatly arranged, he assigned a team, asked Fan Tie to open the doors of each warehouse, and he also took a few people to a warehouse.
As soon as the number of people increased, the efficiency of the work was high, and in just one hour, more than 20 warehouses were searched, and the servants gathered in the compound to report to Liao Weizhang in turn.
Liao Weizhang was disappointed that after so many warehouses were inspected, he didn't find even a single bag of moldy rice, let alone a single bag.
Fan Tiebi stood behind respectfully, judging from his expression, he was obviously not worried, Liao Weizhang became more and more suspicious in his heart, he didn't believe that this Wu Ji Micang was really innocent, after all, he had seen too much of this kind of big business, the surface was clean, and the dirty methods behind the scenes were staggering.
After repeatedly confirming with his subordinates that they had not found anything suspicious, Liao Weizhang was reluctant to give up, and waved his hand: "Go back." ”
Fan Tie immediately stepped forward from behind when he heard the sound, and said with a smile: "My lord is leaving, I've been busy for so long, and the grass people have already asked someone to prepare a meal, so why don't you have a light meal and go back?"
No matter how Liao Weizhang looked at it, he felt that the smile was too dazzling, and he didn't find anything useful, so he didn't feel comfortable in his heart, so he snorted and said coldly: "I won't eat the meal, this matter is very important, and the official will not dare to delay for a moment, if there is a need in the future, I will ask Boss Fan to cooperate like this today." ”
"This is nature, and there is no reason for the grass people not to cooperate. The grass people sent the adults. Fan Tie made an invitation.
The more Liao Weizhang looked at it, the more he felt that the smile on this person's face was too obvious, he knew that he must have missed something, but he had no way, and he could only think of another way, after all, it was absolutely impossible for him to let Wu Ji Micang go so easily.
Seeing Liao Weizhang get into the carriage and walk away, the smile on Fan Tie's face gradually faded, his eyes were gloomy and terrifying, and he flicked his sleeves and turned around and said, "Go and call the second master to me." ”
In addition to Fan's family, Fan Tie also has a half-brother Fan Qing, this Fan Qing is a loser who does not learn and has no skills, he is over thirty years old but has not married yet, and he only knows how to spend all day drinking, which is completely the opposite of Fan Tie.
Fan Qing was not happy to be shouted out of the Qinglou by his subordinates, and after listening to what his subordinates said about the afternoon search, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he didn't have time to put on his clothes, so he ran all the way home.
Fan Tie knew where he was, but when he saw that his clothes were messy and unorthodox, he rushed over angrily with a punch, and Fan Qing was stunned for a long time, only then did he realize that he roared angrily: "What are you doing to beat me, you can't see me going to Qinglou, haven't you been there yourself?"
"If you just go to the Qinglou, I don't bother to care about your life or death, but you stabbed me in such a big basket, and I won't break your leg today, it's already for the sake of the face of my dead father. Fan Tie angrily wanted to flip the table.
At the mention of this incident, Fan Qing suddenly froze, quickly packed up his clothes and hair, and asked anxiously: "Is there really an accident? How could it be?" I was obviously sent to the outer city, and I haven't had an accident in the past two years, why ------ today?"
"Are you sure you didn't do something stupid?" Fan Tie obviously didn't believe it, and was angry and questioned: "Think about it, did you do something stupid." ”
Fan Qing stomped his feet anxiously: "Big brother, no matter how confused I am, I won't be mistaken, those people in the outer city have rough skin and thick meat, and they don't have anything to do if they eat some moldy rice ding, I've been doing it for so long, how can I be mistaken, not to mention Yangshan Academy, big brother, aren't you responsible for Yangshan Academy?"
"I'm in charge, but why is there mold in it? That's your responsibility, if you weren't mistaken, could I still send things to Yangshan Academy?" ”
Fan Qing didn't pay much attention to doing things, and at this time he also suspected that he had accidentally confused it, so he smiled dryly: "Big brother, I was wrong, I will never do it again, you see, isn't this dangerous, you forgive me this time." ”
"I forgive you? Why don't you think about it for me, is it easy for me to get to where I am today, and our Fan family has come to this day? If it weren't for me, would you be able to spend all day drinking without worrying about food and clothing? Do you know that today we were almost finished, and if I hadn't learned the news in advance, you and I would have to spend the rest of my life in a prison cell. ”
