Chapter 655 one after another

lost more than 10,000 taels of silver, Wang Tong saw it as a small episode on the way, but the people below did not dare to slack off, they were annoyed and wondered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I followed the traces of the cart, but found that the cart disguised as carrying hay was parked a mile away from the post station, and the pack horses were scattered everywhere, and the silver on the cart was nowhere to be seen.

This thousand catties of silver, not in the car, it must be someone and take away, but there is no trace of footprints and hoof prints here, there is no snow for many days, this side is soft and soft fields, even if there are footprints and hoof prints, it is not too difficult to cover up, and I didn't find it after going around.

Tan Jiang wanted to leave more than a dozen people to look for him, but Wang Tong felt that it was meaningless, and let the team continue to hurry, and he could use such scheming to get the silver last night, and he would probably not show any flaws after stealing the silver.

"Such a big sweetness, I ate it once, maybe I can't help but come and eat it a second time, be careful tonight"

Wang Tong opened his mouth and commanded.

Although the team is huge, but the four-horse cart, the road is frozen and hard, there is no delay along the way, the loss of silver is delayed for about an hour, and the road is to rest at night, calculating that it will be able to reach Tongzhou at noon on the second day.

Tongzhou is the land gateway of Beijing, and now it is the place where Tianjin Wei is connected, naturally first-class prosperity, although there is still a night and a half of effort, and it is in the first month, there are more people on the official road.

Along the way, Chen Dahe didn't dare to slack off a little, he and Ma Sanbiao took turns respectively, arranging for duty guards, they also had a bit of a headache, and there were more and more pedestrians, although they would take the initiative to retreat when they saw Wang Tong's team, but God knows if the people who beat the idea of the team would hide in it.

A roadside inn can supply more than 1,000 people with grain, but fortunately, the Sanjiang Commercial Bank sent someone to make arrangements early, allocated silver, and let them sell it in advance, and waited for the team to come to directly support.

In Wang Tong's team, whether it is the horses of the cavalry or the horses pulling the carts, they are all good horses bought from outside the mouth, and they must be well maintained, plus they are in a hurry every day, full of goods, and they are not a light livelihood.

This night, Wang Tong did not take off his clothes and sleep, only took off his outer robe, and when it was time to feed in the middle of the night, Chen Dahe reported outside the door, and when he got permission, he said outside without opening the door:

"My lord, the thief seems to be here again tonight."

Wang Tong was awake at night, and someone outside reported that he had woken up, so he simply put on his clothes and hurriedly walked out.

Tan Jiang is old after all, and he goes to bed early at night, but Tan Dahu and Tan Erhu are there, counting the rest of the dozen or so people, escorting Wang Tong and the others to follow Chen Dahe lightly.

The carts are parked at night in a square line, leaving a gap in the middle, and the soldiers are walking outside and patrolling in the gap, it is said that the silver was lost last night, and the patrol method should be changed tonight, but in order to lure the thief again, the secret post is strengthened, but on the surface everything is still as usual.

"My lord, there was a report from the fifth team, saying that among the carts that came to deliver hay outside, there was a cart driver who was suspicious, always looking at the outside of our convoy, and his subordinates specially arranged for this cart driver to unload the hay first, and sure enough, he went to the side with the least guards."

Chen Dahe whispered while leading the way in front, and when he arrived at the inside of that position, Chen Dahe made a gesture, and everyone followed with bated breath and condensed, bending down and lightening his steps.

Although it is night, the place where the horses are parked is noisy, so many horses are not a simple job, most of the guards and five hundred "family members" brought by Wang Tong are busy, and from time to time someone is busy with their own stall, come to replace the companions here, because it is night, the scene is a little chaotic.

There were torches and lanterns everywhere, but after all, they couldn't shine everywhere, and when Wang Tong looked at where they were, he could only see a carriage coming, and the rest couldn't see the details clearly.

The driver who could see the cart hesitated, and seemed to be looking around cautiously, but he still leaned over the cart, just as he had analyzed during the day, and he really pulled the cart over, and the coachman stepped on the wheels and got on the cart.

""

Chen Dahe scolded in a low voice, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen men rushed out together, and the guards around Wang Tong were not bad at kung fu, not to mention that there were many people, and before the driver of the big car could react, he was directly beaten off the horse, and when he heard a few screams, the person was already restrained.

"A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life"

"Bastard dog thing, that one is a hero, and grandpa is Jinyiwei's"

"The lord spares his life, the lord spares his life, the small one is to stand on the cart and relieve his hands, dirty the place of the masters, next time I don't dare, I don't dare"

The screams of the man who was caught killing a pig were all alarmed, and they ran towards this side, but they couldn't see clearly at night, and when they came to the front to ask, they knew that it was Wang Tong and others who were on an errand, and then they went back to their own duties.

The man suffered a lot of punches and kicks, listening to his miserable howl, everyone also felt that it was wrong, Wang Tong stopped everyone, walked to the front, someone had already hit the lantern to find it, a coachman wearing a sheepskin jacket with a blue nose and swollen face screamed there, this coachman is a man of thirty or forty years old, nothing out of the ordinary, the lights came to his eyes, he also saw the clothes and armor and official robes worn by everyone, and he was even more afraid, and now everyone let go of their hands, this man didn't care about the pain, turned over on the ground, knelt there and kowtowed, and said:

"The little one just wants to stand in the car and relieve himself, there is nothing disrespectful to the old man, the old man spares his life, the old man spares his life"

"No weapons on you?"

Wang Tong frowned and asked, if this man had a weapon on his body, the guards around him would definitely not let this man turn over, Tan Dahu on the side said in a rough voice:

"The subordinates and the second tiger have just touched it, and there is nothing else on their bodies except for a wine gourd."

Wang Tong was stunned, but he stretched out his hand to stop Chen Dahe and the others from making a move, and asked:

"In such a large area, it is convenient to take off your pants everywhere, how do you think about the convenience of getting close to our big car and then having to struggle to stand on your own big car, are you crazy, or are we stupid?"

The voice was very cold, but he stopped the crying person at once, Chen Dahe was clever, and immediately pulled out his knife and scolded angrily:

"Fart, even if you are chopped alive, you will have to be sent to the government to ask about your family's sins"

As soon as he saw the bright knife taken out, the coachman immediately collapsed on the ground, not to mention that what Chen Dahe said could also scare people, and then the voice was already crying, and his hand was taken into his arms, although he had just searched his body, but seeing this action, Chen Dahe's knife was still against the man's neck.

"Grandpa, ancestors, the little one is digging for silver......"

The coachman said in a trembling voice, his hand didn't dare to move, or Tan Erhu stepped forward and took out a pocket in his arms, and poured it directly on the ground, it was really silver, everyone wondered, thinking that this was the money to come out to buy, and the coachman said angrily:

"The villain took over the work of delivering forage a few days ago, and today he wanted to go to bed early and have the spirit to send it at night, but someone gave the little one five taels of silver, and asked the villain to drive the car to the side of the convoy at night, and then stand on the big car...... said that the old man is not pleasing to the eye, and he wants to corrupt it... The little one didn't think it was a big deal, so he was moved......"

Seeing that this person's performance is really a wreck, his appearance and speech are all in line with what he said, Wang Tong doesn't believe that he can encounter any characters who pretend to be so expressive, if he really has such ability, he will not commit the stupid thing of stealing silver in the same way.

"No, this man is here to lead us away"

The next moment, Wang Tong reacted, as soon as he said it, everyone also reacted, Chen Dahe patted his head hard, and he had already scolded.

"What a good means, Chen Dahe, tonight's duty is to guard one car by one, there is no need to mess around to find it, and wait for dawn to make a plan."

Wang Tong shook his head and said in a deep voice, Chen Dahe's expression was a little impatient, obviously wanting to start the investigation, Wang Tong opened his mouth and said:

"If you look for it with great fanfare, there will be chaos, this season of black lights, let's be in a mess, I'm afraid that people will take advantage of the loopholes, now arrange people to guard, tomorrow morning quickly return to Tianjin Wei to transfer Liu Saburo and Wu Er over, I really want to see who is so bold, who is so capable"

Listening to Wang Tong's caution, everyone didn't dare to say any more, bowed down to receive the order, and the coachman was naturally also taken into custody, and he had to wait until tomorrow to make plans.

"My lord, five cars lost silver, a total of almost eight thousand taels, all of them were pried open by someone, and the silver bags were taken out, and each car took a few bags... Master Tan also led people to see our station, and when we were feeding last night, the people and horses were messy, and I couldn't see any special traces. ”

When he got up in the morning, Chen Dahe came to report in frustration, he guarded a car last night, and this morning he checked and found out what happened, and he was touched with silver for two consecutive days, and he was still on guard on the second day, which was indeed a shame.

"A car was stolen the day before yesterday, and only lost 8,000 taels yesterday, which shows that our precautions are still effective, and they also have to take a lot of trouble, don't worry, we can't think of their way, then pull the net and sift around the official road, and we can't run."

Wang Tong is very determined, tossing on the official road of Beijing and Tianjin, there is nothing that cannot be found by Tianjin Wei's intelligence network, but Wang Tong is also a little puzzled, the thief who stole the silver is the best choice to escape with the silver immediately after the first time, the second time last night, the cost is so big, but the risk is too great.

"My lord, there are people outside who ask to see me, and they say that they are ...... He said he was returning the money......"

At this moment, there was a guard outside to report-
