Chapter 39: (3) Detective: Cold Water Ice

An hour or two passed, and after everyone had checked the ledger and registered, the treasurer reported an amount to Leng Shuibing.

Then the double issue was confirmed, and the financial officer and others got up and said goodbye after receiving the tax.

After coming to the gate, the treasurer handed the money to an official, and asked him to lead the four city guards to return to the mayor's mansion with the money.

After that, he led the rest of the officials and city guards and walked in the direction of the Salt Gang Headquarters.

During this period, the financial officer's face hurt, and the group of tigers and wolves in the Salt Gang were not as easy to talk as Yuhua Pavilion, so they could only come to the door hard.

As soon as the treasurer left the house, Leng Shuibing's previous person who had sent someone to investigate the mayor's unusual behavior returned.

"Tell the treasurer, according to your instructions, we haven't found out why the mayor is acting abnormally. ”

The spies standing in the middle of the living room bowed slightly and told the truth with some trepidation.

After all, there are so many spies, and there has been no progress at all after two hours.

Then a spy hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and explained: "Tell the treasurer, although I haven't found any specific information, I have discovered a strange thing. ”

"Tell the truth, and don't make mistakes. Hearing the words of this spy, Leng Shuibing, who was originally a little disappointed, immediately stared at him and said in a cold tone.

She vaguely felt that this strange thing might be inexplicably related to the mayor's series of actions.

Seeing Leng Shuibing's eyes, the spy instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and then quickly explained.

With the advice of the spies, Leng Shuibing learned the specific reason, because a strange thing happened in the mayor's mansion yesterday.

For some reason, the mayor hurriedly emptied all the cash of the mayor's mansion, and then hurriedly ran out with the money.

As for why she felt that the mayor was in a hurry, it was because someone saw that the mayor was carrying the chief of the guard and running away with money and money, instead of traveling in a carriage.

Everyone in the world knows that as the mayor of the mysterious town, he doesn't know how much faster he can run than an ordinary carriage.

If it weren't for the urgency, I wouldn't have done it, let alone run away with the guards in a detrimental way.

After that, he went out of the west of the city, and did not return until early in the morning, and sent someone back to his house to bring a carriage out, and then came back in the carriage.

Later, when he returned home, he asked people to sell real estate resources and so on, what was the reason for the mayor to stay in the west of the city for one night?

And she needed to have someone lead the carriage out of the city to greet her, rather than walking into the city, and as for what kind of pomp and circumstance, she felt that the mayor was not that kind of person.

What is the reason why the mayor needs to sell his property after returning home? Could it be that he is really short of money?

Lack of money? Is it because of lack of money that troops are sent to sweep away wild beasts?

But why is the mayor short of money? Wait!

"Black shop?"

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Leng Shuibing's brain, and he exclaimed.

Because she thought of what Wu Shou mentioned before, his store manager uncle's shop was in the west of the city.

And in Wu Shou's words, this shop called the black shop is so magical, so magical that even ordinary people feel ridiculous and bizarre when they hear it.

If what Wu Shou said is true, and the mayor has access to the store, then the mayor's series of measures will make sense.

Then he was shocked and said to Xiao Yi in a panic: "Xiao Yi, go to the small treasury, pack up the cash that can be taken away, let's go to the west of the city, quickly." ”

When everyone hurriedly packed up the vault where all the cash was stored in the store, they quickly carried the money and drove the carriage to the west gate of the city.

Thinking back to the specific location mentioned by Wu Shou, after leaving the city gate, he ran towards the black shop without stopping.

Just through these few small things, Leng Shuibing guessed the reason why the mayor sent troops and the information of the black shop.

I don't know what Tang Sheng's expression will be when he learns that it is because of his unintentional small actions and reveals his true intentions.

The words are divided into two ends

Inside the entrance of the Salt Gang Headquarters, a man in a gorgeous leather coat made of unknown animal skins was a man.

The first impression is cunning, and there is a treacherous look in the depths of his eyes.

Hearing the advice of his subordinates, his face changed, and he said with some gloom: "You mean that the mayor of the town sent troops to encircle and suppress the beast because he was short of money?"

Hearing about the mayor's actions, the leather-clothed man also sent spies to find out the news, and then he also got the same information as the spies in Yuhua Pavilion.

But the other party didn't know the information of the black store, and the previous small advertisements were all cleaned up by the mayor, and they were not told the information of the black store like Leng Shuibing, so they didn't know the complicated situation inside.

If it weren't for Wu Shou's information, Leng Shuibing would not have guessed the mayor's true thoughts so quickly.

"Yes, my subordinates think it should be like this. ”

Hearing the question of the leather-clad man, the clothes behind the spy were soaked in cold sweat, and he could only reply with the feeling of numbness on his scalp.

The leather-clad man, who was about to teach the spies a lesson, suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and then walked in the direction of the gate.

I saw a group of officials stepping on the door, and this group of people was the financial officer who rushed to the salt gang after coming out of Yuhua Pavilion.

Looking at the leather-clad man with gloomy eyes, the financial officer secretly said that he was unlucky.

Then I thought that it was really not the right time for me and others to come, and it seemed that it was not easy to collect taxes today.

But he was still smiling, and said heartily to the leather-clad man whose face slowly disappeared:

"Hahaha, the Lie Gang Leader is fortunate to have a good meeting, the petty official suddenly took the liberty to visit without informing him in advance, and I ask the Lie Gang Master to forgive me. ”

"Yo, this isn't our God of Wealth in Twilight, come on, come on, please sit down. ”

Hearing the financial officer's kind words, the Lie Gang Leader, who instantly changed his face, laughed and laughed.

I couldn't see the expression of the shadow just now, as if the man who had just been shadowy was someone else.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the petty official is just a housekeeper who manages the money for the town chief. ”

Looking at the Lie gang leader who changed his face in an instant, the financial officer ignored the other party's change of face, and then said politely.

But in their hearts, they couldn't help but think that everyone said that the archon was the smiling tiger of Twilight.

But everyone didn't know that the real smiling tiger was the fierce gang leader in front of them who was treacherous and cunning in his eyes.

It's just that when the other party faces people whose status is inferior to his own, he doesn't need to disguise at all.

It's only in the face of himself and others that he will show the true colors of a smiling tiger.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people, the archon is a smiling tiger, and the leader of the Salt Gang is a sinister, cunning, money-hungry jackal.

"Hahaha, if the treasurer is a little housekeeper, isn't this gang leader a gangster!"

Hearing the words of the financial officer, the Lie Gang Master said jokingly.

"Gang Leader, this time the petty official came to disturb because of two things to inform. Ignoring the other party's jokes, the treasurer turned straight and spoke.

"Tell the treasurer. Seeing the financial officer's strict expression, he then put away his laughter and said politely.

Then the finance officer explained the words of the cold water ice before, word for word.
