Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Salt Robbery
Of course, Hua Jingjing is not the only one who is jealous of Li Tao, and the other is Wang Lihui. It was Wang Lihui who went to Li Tao to rescue Lu Yue'er, and now that Lu Yue'er has been freed, he is naturally grateful to Li Tao in his heart. However, Lu Yue'er was so good to Li Tao, but at the same time, he was extremely disappointed.
Although the two girls who looked down on him at first are now convinced by themselves, Li Tao is not happy at all. He's worried about money. What he said to Master Lu had to be done, but the establishment of Lu's Academy required a lot of money. Originally, Li Tao had already negotiated with Fan Hefu, and Fan Hefu took the lead in organizing Shucheng businessmen to donate money to build a academy. But somehow, these two Li Tao couldn't even touch Fan Hefu's face, and even if they did, before they could speak, Fan Hefu hurried away, which made Li Tao depressed.
……
"Jiurou, do you understand? What's going on with your daddy? Seeing Fan Changfeng coming in a hurry, Li Tao couldn't wait to ask.
"Got it, Atau! You wronged my father, it's not that your father ignores you, but that he is in trouble and doesn't care about you now! Fan Changfeng panted.
"Got in trouble? What the hell is going on? ”
Li Tao became anxious and uneasy, if something went wrong with Fan Hefu here, then his plan would be an abort death, and he didn't want to see such a result.
After listening to Fan Changfeng, Li Tao knew that Fan Hefu was really in big trouble.
Fan Hefu's Fan Kee Firm is a long-established brand that deals in local specialties, and in addition to the wine, tea, and silk business, the most important thing is salt.
Datang's salt and iron are all government-run, and although salt is not allowed to be produced privately, it can be operated. Of course, there must be a salt guide issued by the government. Over the years, part of the salt in Luzhou City has been operated by Fan Ji Firm.
This time, Fan Ji was entrusted by the Luzhou Assassin to escort ten truckloads of salt from Zhejiang to Luzhou City. In order to hurry up, the guy who escorted the car traveled at night, and he didn't want to be in the middle of the night before yesterday, in a place called Liushuwan on the boundary of Shucheng County, he was robbed of ten truckloads of refined salt by a group of strongmen, and the guy was tied up and thrown on the side of the road by ropes, and was rescued by passers-by yesterday morning.
Fan Hefu reported the case to the county government, and the county ordered Zhao Denggao to be surprised, these ten carts of salt were to be sent to Luzhou City, and Fan Ji business was transporting salt for thousands of miles, and it seemed that he had reached the destination, but he was robbed in his own territory, this case can be solved, but if it can't be broken, Zhao Denggao must have no good fruit to eat, but it is too unreliable to solve the case only from the rope that binds people and the cloth strip that seals the mouth.
Zhao Denggao got an important clue from the guy who escorted the car: one of the guys accidentally cut a bag of salt in the car while fighting with those wicked people.
When Zhao Denggao heard this, he immediately turned his worries into joy: the wicked man drove away, the car bumped on the road, and the salt naturally fell all the way.
Zhao Denggao hurriedly ordered the head to catch the head and lead people to Liushuwan to follow the salt traces to find it. But the sky is not beautiful, and it rains heavily on a good day. Soon, the people sent by Zhao Denggao came back one by one like chickens. The salt on the ground has been washed away by the rain and has been soaked, so what else is there to investigate? Zhao Denggao was out of options, and in the afternoon, he had no choice but to post a reward notice at the county government and offer a bounty of 50 yuan, hoping that someone capable could help solve the case. But until this morning, no one has unveiled the list.
When Li Tao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, no matter who encountered this kind of thing, he would not feel good. At this time, if he went to Fan Hefu again to talk about donating money to run a school, it would be too impersonal. However, this matter of running a school cannot be delayed, and without a source of funds, running a school has become an empty word. Li Tao thought about it again and again, and decided to help Fan Hefu find these salts as soon as possible, and then talk about donating money to run the school.
But no matter how hard Li Tao racked his brains, he still couldn't think of a way, which made him quite depressed.
……
"Atao, what's wrong with you today? How do you say it upside down? Hua Jingjing protested dissatisfiedly,
Although Li Tao was thinking about his thoughts, he didn't forget to tell everyone the story. Now the students have become a habit, and every time they get out of the private school, many of the eighteen children gather by the willow tree to listen to Li Tao's stories. Because Li Tao is absent-minded today, it is naturally full of loopholes.
"Tao must be tired, or don't talk about it today, let Tao rest first, and then talk about it tomorrow!" It was Lu Yue'er who was considerate of Li Tao and relieved Li Tao of the siege.
Hua Jingjing heard Lu Yue'er say this, and she couldn't say anything more, and asked with concern: "Ah Tao, where are you uncomfortable?" Why don't you ask your dad to show you? ”
"Ah Taobu is not uncomfortable, but he is in trouble!" Fan Changfeng told the truth on the side,
"Jiuro, what the hell is going on?" Everyone looked at Fan Changfeng.
Fan Changfeng recounted the cause and effect of the incident.
Lu Yue'er saw that Li Tao was worried about her own affairs, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red: "Ah Tao, it's all my fault, I've made you tired!" ”
Seeing this, Li Tao hurriedly comforted Lu Yue'er, and the rest of the people were talking about ways to do it.
"Li Tao, I have a way to help you!" A timid voice suddenly came.
The noise suddenly disappeared, and everyone turned their heads to look at a child in unison.
"Ah Can? Do you really have a way? Li Tao was pleasantly surprised,
It was none other than Ah Can, who had betrayed Li Tao.
"Hmmm! Ah Tao, that's ......" Ah Chan said his thoughts in one breath.
Li Tao listened, so excited that he didn't know what to say: "Thank you, Ah Can!" ”
……
Zhao Denggao was staying in the inner office at this time and was stunned, this case of salt robbery was like a poisonous snake, entangled so that he was almost out of breath!
"Prefectural order! The shopkeeper of Fan Kee came to ask for a meeting! At that moment, an official came to give an announcement.
"Got it! You go and tell him that I will solve the case as soon as possible, and let him go home and wait patiently! Zhao Denggao said impatiently.
"Shopkeeper Fan said he has a way to solve the case!"
"What? Hurry up, please! Zhao Denggao was overjoyed.
After a while, Fan Hefu came to the lobby with his two children.
"Shopkeeper Fan, I heard that you have a way to solve the case?" As soon as Zhao Denggao saw Fan Hefu, he asked impatiently.
"Zhao Denggao, it's not that I have a way, it's that they have a way!" Fan Hefu pointed to the two children beside him.
These two children are none other than Li Tao and Ah Can.
"It turned out to be Li Xiaolangjun? Do you really have a way to solve the case? Zhao Denggao looked at Li Tao and Ah Can suspiciously.
Li Tao shook the bounty list in his hand: "Zhao County Order, you won't believe me, right?" ”
Of course, Zhao Denggao believed in Li Tao, anyway, he was a dead horse and a live horse doctor, so he arranged for the head catcher to lead people to follow Li Tao and Ah Can to arrest people, and he and Fan Hefu talked without a match.
