Chapter 184: Bad Intentions Do Good Things
After thinking about it, Qiu Ji'an could only come to one conclusion, that is, Wanquan was indeed privately trafficking in illicit salt, and the salt in this shop was his own, and he had been deceived by Wanquan. Thinking of this, Qiu Ji'an's cognition of Wanquan has risen to a higher level, originally thought that Wanquan was just a somewhat clever businessman, but he didn't expect Wanquan to be able to do this, and he actually sold salt behind the adult's back, and this adult would not spare him if he knew it.
However, when he thought that Du Shaofu would go to the ferry to search today, Qiu Ji'an was a little proud, the people of the Hu family themselves had already asked him to park the boat elsewhere today, and those who participated in the salt transportation had already arranged for all of them to be at the ferry, Du Shaofu would definitely not find the Hu family, but only Wanquan could be found, Wanquan's boat had put a lot of "good things" to ensure that Du Shaofu and Wanquan were surprised, Qiu Ji'an began to guess what kind of expression this Wanquan would be when he arrived.
This Wanquan estimates that he still thinks that he asked him to lead people to the ferry is to check the Hu family, and the investigation is actually himself, and then Wanquan is ironclad evidence, even if he gets rid of the crime, Lord Deng will not let him go, this Wanquan has entered a dead end, and the gods can't save it, but he doesn't know it yet, and he is drilling into this dead end.
Although Deng Heguang was a little surprised when he heard the report from his subordinates, he was also relieved, Qiu Jia'an was still very relieved to do things, and he was also working for himself, but he always let himself help wipe his ass, even if he was exonerated this time, he had to ask to understand, if he really dared to transport salt privately, he would ruin the plan, and then he couldn't blame himself for being ruthless. Thinking of this, Deng Heguang's face turned cold, and then he looked at Wan Quan in front of him, as if he was about to eat Wan Quan alive.
Wan Quan was also nervous at this time, he knew that he was now caught in a whirlpool, and it was difficult to get out, but he had to get out, otherwise he would only jump into a dead end.
Thinking of this, he was a little grateful to Lin Mo, if he didn't want to get out, the chance of getting out would be slim, now he knows that when he arrives at the ferry to check the Hu family's boat, he will be able to get away with the crime, and he can throw everything to Qiu Ji'an, and then he will still have a chance to get the understanding of the adults, and then he will fight again, hold this private salt in his hands, it doesn't matter if this shop is opened or not, and he doesn't need to be like this Lin Mo. This Wanquan regained his spirits, and looked at Lin Mo on the side as if he had forgotten that it was Lin Mo who put himself in trouble, and his eyes were not so hateful.
Wan Quan said in a low voice: "If you can get out of this matter safely, I will never be your enemy again in the future." Lin Mo looked at Wanquan with a surprised expression, Wanquan probably didn't know that Lin Mo, who brought him hope of getting out, was actually going to kill him, and this hope would soon be shattered.
At the other end, He Ren waited anxiously at the ferry, since he collided with Wanjia's boat and put things on Wanjia's boat, he followed him to the ferry, secretly staring at Wanjia's boat, and then waited for Lin Mo to come and search the boat with the official as planned.
Wanjia's boat docked at the ferry port and did not remember to unload the cargo, and the boatmen on the ship all got off the boat and went to the tavern in the distance to drink, and He Ren was also relieved, afraid that these boatmen would find their hidden private salt when they unloaded. Just as He Ren was anxiously waiting on the side, someone came to report to the mansion, Lord Yin came with a group of officials and Lin Mowanquan, He Ren suddenly cheered up, and this finally came.
He Ren hurriedly went to watch, and at this time Du Shaofu ordered all ships not to anchor, and all boatmen were not allowed to move around at will on the shore, and let the officials search one boat by one. At this time, about ten ships were parked at this ferry, some large and some small, and it would have taken a long time to bring dozens of servants.
Wan Quan looked around and seemed to be looking for his target today, which was the Hu family's ship, but he didn't see the Hu family's ship, and he was a little panicked. And Deng Heguang was also searching the Hu family's boat, for a long time, his eyes retracted from the rows of boats, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that Qiu Ji'an has indeed arranged it." Deng Heguang couldn't help but look at Wanquan when he thought of this, and there was a killing intent in his eyes, today's crisis almost exposed that the Hu family and this private salt were all provoked by Wanquan, and he would not pass it easily.
Wan Quan naturally didn't pay attention to Deng Heguang's gaze and didn't dare to look directly at Deng Heguang, he searched the Hu family's ship over and over again but never saw it, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that the Hu family's ship didn't come today?" It's impossible, his boat arrives at the ferry every month, and it is unloaded at night, how can it not be at the ferry"
Lin Mo didn't care what he was thinking, when Lin Mo saw He Ren signaling to him in the distance, he knew that everything had been arranged, and he was waiting for the next search, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, after all, the most important step of his plan could not be abandoned halfway, otherwise his efforts would be in vain.
The people at He Ren Ferry watched the officials search the boat, and Lord Fu Yin came in person to know that something was wrong, and they all moved closer to this side. At this time, Wan Peng also rushed over, and when he saw Wan Quan, who was being watched by the officials, he knew that something was wrong, and it was likely to involve his own family.
Wan Peng looked at the officials searching the docked boat, and vaguely felt that there must be something shady in this boat that made Du Shaofu go to such great trouble, and this detaining his cousin Wan Quan showed that this was related to Wanjia, and it was likely to come to his own ship. Wan Peng thought about it like this, and then it was very strange, after all, the goods on his ship were all transported from Yangzhou, and the guys had already checked and checked before leaving.
Although there are some "private goods" on this ship, they are also silk porcelain and the like, not the goods of Wanfu, they are bought and resold by themselves to earn some silver and flowers, this is not a big deal, Wanquan also knows, just turn a blind eye, and should not come to search because of this. The more Wan Peng thought about it, the more he felt that things were not simple, so he quietly slipped back to the boat, wanting to see if there was anything unclean.
Wan Peng's actions were seen by He Ren, and He Ren was a little anxious, in case this person found out the clue, he quietly threw the salt into the water, and the salt melted when it met the water, and the evidence was gone. Zhou Fu naturally also noticed Wan Peng's actions, so he lowered his head and said a few words to He Ren, who nodded when he heard this. Zhou Fu took advantage of no one's attention and got on the ship of the ten thousand families.
Wan Peng lifted the linen cloth covering the goods, and looked at it carefully, at first it was all normal goods, but in the hidden corner of the lower layer of the goods, Wan Peng found a few unfamiliar cloth bags, opened it and looked at the frightened Wan Peng in a cold sweat, which was full of white green salt, and these four generations of salt were secretly placed by He Ren.
Wan Peng naturally knew that this salt was private salt, but he didn't know why he had these bags of things on his ship
Which guy with unclean hands and feet secretly brought it, this thing is going to lose his head, this person is not only looking for his own death, but also affecting the entire family.
Thinking of this, Wan Peng hurriedly picked up the private salt and threw it into the river, so that the corpse could be destroyed, and the officials could not find a clue. But the sound of footsteps not far away made Wan Peng panic, thinking that it was the official who came, and hurriedly carried the four bags of private salt to a hidden compartment, opened the hidden compartment, and threw the four bags of salt into it, which went straight to the compartment at the bottom of the ship.
Every ship will have a compartment, the compartment is at the bottom of the ship, the bottom of the ship is divided into a lot of partitions, with a compartment where water leakage will not affect other places, the ship will not sink so easily, basically more and larger than the larger ship compartments. Wanjia's ship is not small, so the compartment is also relatively large, Wan Peng deliberately opened a secret compartment in this compartment, which can store some private goods, and ordinary smugglers will do the same, which is more hidden and not easy to be detected.
When Wan Peng put away the private salt, he heard someone shouting: "Oh no, the boat is on fire, come to the house to put out the fire." Wan Peng found out that his boat was on fire, so he hurriedly carried a bucket to fetch water to extinguish the fire. And it was Zhou Fu who set the fire, and Zhou Fu lit a fire in order to attract officials and prevent Wan Peng from destroying the things he put on the ship. Sure enough, as soon as the officials saw that a ship was on fire, they hurriedly stepped forward to help extinguish the fire, and with the joint efforts of everyone, the fire was quickly extinguished.
Lin Mo was a little panicked when he saw it, this fire was too sudden, Lin Mo thought that the people of the Wan family had discovered the private salt, so he set fire to destroy the evidence, even if the fire was extinguished in time, the salt would probably be over.
Zhou Fu, who set the fire, didn't know this, so he wanted to attract the attention of the officials, and quickly searched the boat of the Wan family, but he didn't expect that it was salt that was put on the boat, of course He Ren didn't think about it so much, Zhou Fu said to go to see the people of the Wan family, and he agreed without thinking about it, this is a good thing to do, uh, it should be a good thing with a bad heart, after all, Lin Mo They originally had a bad heart, if the private salt was destroyed, wouldn't it be a clear crime of Wanquan, and it would become a good thing.
Wan Quan saw that his own ship was on fire, and he didn't think too much about it, so he hurriedly beckoned his own guy and the servant to go up and move the goods, after all, they were all his own goods, and they were all money, he never thought that Lin Mo would set a trap for himself.
Du Shaofu frowned, after all, he still had to search, what was it to help Wanquan move the goods, just as he wanted to stop it, he saw Lin Mo shaking his head, signaling himself to leave it alone, and let them move the goods off the ship.
Everyone worked together to quickly move most of the goods off the ship, but there were never the bags of private salt that Lin Mo wanted to see, Lin Mo was very anxious, even if it was salted, there should still be a cloth bag, but now there is even a cloth bag, Lin Mo thought that the salt was really thrown into the river by the people of the Wan family.
He Renna was also very surprised, and asked Zhou Fu: "What about the bags of things?" Why is it gone? Was it thrown into the river by the people of the Wan family? Zhou Fu hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's impossible that the person didn't come out of the cabin, and the things must still be in the cabin." ”
