Volume 1: When the Wind Rises, Chapter 195: Waiting for the Rabbit (1)
"It's all gone, it's all gone", Mu Jing still had a hard look, seeing that Liu Ximing was angry, he hurriedly beckoned the people of the Long Xiang group to disperse the onlookers.
It has been more than half a day since last night, according to the method of Su Jin and Xun Bowen, all the four thieves were found out in the middle of the night, and Chen Yiding and others also sent the whole village back to rest, telling everyone to go to work normally tomorrow.
It's just that at dawn the next day, some idle old people and children began to watch, and they were cleared away by the Long Xiang group in a few moments.
"Phew, the dog who killed a thousand knives", Liu Ximing finally vented the anger in his heart after fighting for more than a quarter of an hour, and then spit on the ground with a mouthful of saliva, these four people have been beaten by him and three fainted on the spot, and the other is trembling and peeing his pants.
"Have you tried these four people", Liu Ximing asked while taking the towel handed over by Liu Xihe and wiping his sweat.
Su Jin replied: "It has been tried, and these four people have explained the matter clearly." ”
"That's good", Liu Ximing threw the towel back, and said to the people present: "Let the Long Xiang group watch these four turtle grandchildren, let's go to the conference room to talk." ”
Seeing that Liu Ximing turned around and left without hesitation after speaking, Chen Yiding and the others immediately followed towards the conference room in the Liu family's mansion.
"Erlang, how are things going to the city this time", Chen Yiding saw that Liu Ximing still had a straight face, and said in a voice to ease the atmosphere.
Meng Chao is not the modern time to casually throw a face at his family, Liu Ximing heard his uncle's words, so he had to restrain his emotions and said: "It's okay, Mr. Zhou's guarantee has been said, and I will send some people to pick him up in a few days." ”
"That's good, that's good", Chen Yiding just didn't have anything to say, and he didn't know how to continue at this time.
On the contrary, Su Jin immediately came up and said with a smile: "The second young master is talented, I have also read the texts of the past, far-reaching and earnest, it must not be difficult to be in high school, and then I have an official identity, as long as we can continue to walk, our family will not be able to prosper." ”
"Hey, those are all afterthought, now let's pass the checkpoint in front of me first, when I went to visit Mr. Zhou yesterday, Huang Hongyi, the bird, sent someone to ambush me and wait, plus today's incident, I always feel that the mountain rain is coming."
"What, are you hurt?"
Chen Yiding and the others suddenly changed their faces, and several people were concerned about Liu Ximing's health.
"You have a heart, I don't have a big deal, it's just that two more brothers have been lost in the guard, and this revenge will be avenged sooner or later."
Liu Ximing was suddenly angry again by this incident, and began to think about whether the two things were connected.
"How is the situation of the interrogation, do you have any regulations, tell me about it", when he arrived in the conference room, Liu Ximing motioned for everyone to sit down, and he himself took a sip of the tea cup and replied.
"I'll tell you", Chen Yiding saw that everyone was looking at him, and simply took the initiative to say: "After I captured these four thieves yesterday, I waited for the starry night interrogation, and I have already figured out the reason, the gang of people who went to the smelter have gone in and stolen it a few times, and each time they bought the old Wang who guarded the door, because we don't have access to the outside world here, and the things we stole are still hidden, and these people should not have a behind-the-scenes command." ”
"As for the five people who went to the textile workshop, according to Huang Ming, the bandit leader who is still alive, after our people on duty screened the displaced people outside Shunqing Mansion, someone found them, saying that they were willing to pay five hundred taels of silver for them to help steal the secret recipe for our weaving.
"Fucheng?" , Liu Ximing suddenly became alert, "Do they know who is operating this behind the scenes?" ”
Chen Yiding shook his head, "That person only said that he would spend money to buy the secret recipe, but he didn't tell them what his identity was. ”
"But according to our guess, it is nothing more than Chen, Huang, Zhao, and Li, who have a cloth business, and they are ......," Chen Yiding and others seem to have worked hard, he continued at this time.
"How the person who paid the money is to contact them, we have already asked them, and if these people succeed, they will pile up stones at the wharf, and the next night someone will land on the tidal flat and enter the village and take them away."
Liu Ximing's eyes narrowed, and the essence in his eyes flashed, "From last night to now, you have been sealing the village, right?" ”
Mu Jingyi nodded and said: "Second brother, don't worry, the two city gates are all guarded by soldiers and horses, and there are also ranger guards in other tidal flats and other places, even if a bird doesn't want to fly in and fly out." ”
Su Jin laughed and said: "Young master, we discussed it last night, the people behind this scene have ill intentions, and we must find out. ”
"Hahaha", Liu Ximing stood up with his hands on the armrests of the Taishi chair, and said with a happy face: "This method is good, try it like this first, but we must also be prepared for the thieves not to be trapped, and then the cavalry will be deployed on both sides of the river, if they don't come in, they can also send people to follow, as for these people, wait for those who come to contact." ”
"So very good", Liu Ximing's proposal to add also fills the loopholes in the plan, and of course the cadres and others have no objections.
When everyone left, Liu Ximing gave Xun Bowen a vague look, and seeing that he nodded slightly, Liu Ximing stopped talking and walked towards his house.
In the evening, Xun Bowen came to Liu Ximing's room alone, Zhang Yuanlong waited at the door early, and when he saw him coming, he immediately knocked on Liu Ximing's door, and after answering inside, Zhang Yuanlong flashed out of the door, and let Xun Bowen walk in quickly.
"Sit down first, please wait for me for a while", Liu Ximing was looking at the financial statements submitted by the account office, and glanced up at Xun Bowen and motioned for him to find a seat and sit down.
After a while, Liu Ximing finally finished reading the materials in his hand, he spit out a breath of turbidity and turned his head to look at Xun Bowen: "Yuli, I heard that last night it was all up to you to be alert to catch this gang of thieves. ”
Xun Bowen hurriedly got up and bowed his hand: "Don't dare to be a young master, these are just the duties of a minister." ”
Liu Ximing looked at Xun Bowen with a respectful face and was quite satisfied, and pressed his hand to signal him to continue to sit, "I remember your credit, how did I do the things I told you last time?" ”
If the other stewards in the village were present, they would definitely be confused, and they had never heard of any tasks assigned by Liu Ximing to Xun Bowen in these management meetings.
Xun Bowen calmly took out a small notebook, looked at it and replied to Liu Ximing: "Young master, the matter of the abnormal expenses of the workshop that you ordered last time has already been revealed, and it has been verified that Ding Kang, deputy assistant of the Smelting Bureau, has privately collected the silver money of several craftsmen, as well as several newly promoted deputy assistants of the Textile Bureau in the past two months, and the materials in the textile workshop have been embezzled in the past two months. ”
Liu Ximing suddenly became interested, "The monthly salaries in the family are all applied for in the account room, and they don't need to be handled by assistant assistants at all levels, how do they operate, why are these workers willing to pay money to bribe Ding Kang?" ”
"Hehe, this Ding Kang is really a talent who has gone astray, the young master set the scrap rate for the Smelting Bureau at that time, and its original intention was to control our this, the quality of this product, but Ding Kang seized the trivial matter of deducting money from the scrap rate to collect money."
"As the deputy assistant of the Smelting Bureau, he has the right to inspect the product acceptance, and now the workers are not skilled, and there are a lot of waste products in a day, Ding Kang found the person after the inspection was completed, and said that he only needs to give him a small amount of money, and he can turn the waste into good products for this person, so that the workers and he can both benefit, and everyone is competing to bribe him."
Liu Ximing felt that something was wrong when he listened to it, and the originally upturned Erlang's legs were slowly put down, and his face was even more pale when he heard it, "Everyone can benefit, hmph, it is our village that is damaged, these bastards, Lao Tzu can't wait to kill them alive." ”
