Chapter 40: The warehouse is on fire

Late at night, in the Hou family's warehouse, a guy was sitting at the door yawning, looking crumbling.

At this moment, several dark shadows flashed, and then knocked the guy unconscious.

A man in black took off his mask and said, "Big brother, it's done here, just guard here alone." ”

"Let's go, go in."

Xue Lin was the first to walk inside, and when he entered, he found that there was a mountain of toilet paper piled up inside.

"Big brother, we can make money now, and we can make a lot of money by shipping this toilet paper out."

The subordinate also looked like a puzzle.

Xue Lin slapped him directly on the head and scolded: "Seeing the things that are open to money, if people know that we did this, it will be trouble." ”

The man rubbed his head and said, "Big brother, what should you do now?" ”

"Burn them all."

Xue Lin's eyes also showed a hint of ruthlessness.

"Burn it for me"

Immediately, the men began to light the torches and threw them into the warehouse, and suddenly a raging fire broke out, and the entire warehouse was instantly covered by the fire.

At this moment, the man who had fainted also woke up, pointed at them and said, "You... Who are you? ”

At this time, Xue Lin walked directly over, took out a dagger and plunged it into his chest.

Then he stood up, wiped the dagger on the man's clothes, and commanded, "Throw the body into the fire." ”

Immediately after that, several people threw the body into the fire and quickly left.

The next morning, after Zhang Heng got up from the bed, he began to wash naked.

"Shengming, you...."

At this moment, Hou Furong suddenly pushed the door and walked in, looking anxious, but after seeing him naked, she immediately turned around and walked out.

"What's wrong? So urgent. ”

After Zhang Heng got dressed, he went out and asked.

Hou Furong hurriedly said: "The warehouse is on fire, all the goods inside have been burned, burned to the ground, and thousands of pieces of toilet paper are gone." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Heng was also very puzzled and asked, "How can it catch fire?" ”

Hou Furong shook her head and said anxiously: "I don't know, and one of our guys guarding the warehouse was also burned to death." ”

"Then let's go to the warehouse first."

Zhang Heng also knew that most of the houses in this era were wooden, so the probability of catching fire was very high.

Half an hour later, the two of them also came to the outside of the warehouse, and saw that it was already a mess, and there was a smell of burning in the air, and many catches were on the scene.

Zhang Heng looked at a person dressed up inspecting a charred corpse, surrounded by many people, and he also walked over, waiting for the results.

After a while, he stood up, saluted a person in official uniform and equipment next to him, and said, "My lord, according to the humble examination, this charred corpse has a knife wound in the abdomen, which was killed by someone. ”

"Get to the bottom as soon as possible"

Fu Yin Li Yue covered his nose with a handkerchief, and immediately left with someone after a casual order, this kind of trivial matter didn't need him to stare at it personally.

"Yes, sir."

Li Hu, the head catcher, immediately saluted and watched him leave.

Zhang Heng looked at Nafu Yin with a perfunctory attitude, and knew that it might not be so easy to investigate this matter, after all, it was in ancient times, and there was no monitoring or anything like that, it was not easy to find out who did it.

"Zhang Gongzi, there is something wrong with the previous matter, please don't be surprised."

At this time, after Li Hu saw him, he also walked towards him, before he tried his best to send his predecessor Fu Yin to prison, if he hadn't let him go, he might have gone to prison, so he had to have a good relationship with him.

Zhang Heng walked over and said, "Don't mention the past again, can you find out who did it?" ”

Li Hu's face showed a trace of solemnity, and said: "It is very difficult to find out, someone has to see those who committed murder and arson, and even if someone sees it, it is a question whether they dare to tell us." ”

"So be it! I offer a reward of 500 yuan, as long as someone knows the news, this 100 yuan is his, Li Zhutou, this. ”

Zhang Heng was also ruthless, and he must know who was dealing with him.

"Okay, Zhang Gongzi, then I'll go and make a break for you."

Li Hu thought that he was really wealthy, and he was a hundred times as soon as he made a move, which was their salary for several years!

At this time, Zhang Heng stretched out his hand and took out three pieces of money and handed it over, saying: "Li Zhutou, you can take this money to drink, and when the matter is completed, I will definitely have a generous gift." ”

"Then thank you Zhang Gongzi"

After Li Hu accepted the money, he also left with a group of catchers.

Hou Furong walked up and said to Zhang Heng: "We didn't offend anyone!" I don't know who did such a vicious move, not only burned the warehouse but also killed a guy. ”

Zhang Heng sighed and said: "Now your family's business is getting better and better, naturally it will provoke a lot of people who are red-eyed, recently you asked the people below to pay attention, warehouses, workshops, and shops must be guarded by people, and you can bring more people when you go out." ”

"I'll arrange it, and you should pay more attention to yourself."

Hou Furong also reminded her.

"I know"

Zhang Heng's face is also full of solemnity now, and it is uncomfortable to be targeted.

Immediately, he also returned to the Shengping Society.

In the courtyard of the Shengping Society, Tie Shan was training Wang Wei and others to practice martial arts, watching them practice very seriously, and their faces also showed a look of satisfaction.

At this time, Zhang Heng came over and called Tie Shan into the house.

Tie Shan looked at him with a solemn face, and said, "Young Master, is something wrong?" ”

Zhang Heng sat on the chair and said: "The Hou family's warehouse was burned, it is estimated that it is targeting us, you let a few people go to my house to guard to prevent any accidents, you must be careful in the future, and then go to equip no one with a knife and shield." ”

"Young master, don't worry, I'll arrange it."

Tie Shan nodded, then turned around and went out to prepare.

Zhang Heng breathed a long sigh of relief, with these nursing homes here, he could also feel a lot more at ease.

In a tavern, Li Hu and a group of catchers were drinking.

At this time, one person spoke: "Big brother, the Hou family's warehouse was burned, and it happened in the middle of the night, how can I check this!" I don't think it's going to be able to find out. ”

"That's not necessarily, that Zhang Heng offered a reward of 100 yuan, there must be a brave man under the so-called heavy reward, but someone has to be willing to take the money, big brother, you say yes!"

The other person immediately retorted.

Li Hu put down the wine bowl, looked at everyone and said: "Zhang Heng, I will serve him two points, first, the measure is big, you also know what happened last time, I offended him so much, he didn't care about me, otherwise I would have been in prison by now, second, he was generous, today's wine money and the money for us to go to Cuihualou in the evening were all paid by him, not to mention that one of my subordinates got a hundred yuan because he helped him bring a sentence, what a big deal!" ”

"Yes! That kid was so lucky that he resigned and went home to marry his daughter-in-law. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, their eyes full of envy.

"This time Zhang Heng offered a reward of 100 yuan, someone must take this money, we just need to get things done, do you think there will be little of our benefits at that time?"

Li Hu is now determined to handle this matter well.

"That's right."

"You have to investigate this matter carefully, but there will be clues, and you will definitely benefit from it when the time comes."

"Don't worry! Big brother, we must do it well. ”
