Chapter 0074 - Hold Your Ground
In order to appease the people, Cui Yin also asked several respected people to go together to watch the entire inspection process. As a celebrity in Huojing County, Li Ang is also among the ranks of the eight.
However, when the officials removed the seal of the salt warehouse and opened the door, everyone was dumbfounded.
There are three warehouses behind Fang Yi's salt shop, two of which are fine, but the thousands of catties of salt that were originally stored well in one of the warehouses have turned into salt water, flowing all over the ground, and many of them have even flowed into the drainage ditch behind the house.
"What's going on?" Cui Yin asked angrily.
Cheng Guan's expression changed greatly, and he defended in a loud voice: "Ming Mansion, when a certain person came to seal it, the salt stored in the warehouse was still good, and when it was opened just now, the Ming Mansion also carefully checked it, and the seal on the door was intact, and the salt was ......."
"This salt must have been tampered with, otherwise it would be impossible to melt the salt that is properly stored in the storehouse." Li Ang interjected, and the others nodded yes.
Everyone re-checked the seals of the doors and windows, and they were indeed in good condition, and this kind of seal was pasted with glutinous rice paste, which was very tight, and it was almost impossible to completely peel off and then paste it on.
"Is there a ghost?" Someone asked, confused.
Cui Yin didn't believe in this evil, and said in a deep voice: "Don't go in first, let it be, check carefully, and see if there are footprints inside and outside the doors and windows, if someone uses water to melt thousands of catties of salt, it will inevitably get some salt, check quickly!" ”
"Whoa!"
Cheng Guan took a quick catch and carefully investigated, but in the end he found nothing, inside and outside the doors and windows, no suspicious traces were found, at least nothing was visible to the naked eye.
"Get a ladder and see if the roof tiles have any new touches." Li Anggang put forward his own proposal. Someone immediately retorted: "This is impossible, even if a person can get in through the tile, he can't carry so much water from the roof." ”
"Yes, yes, this thing is really weird, is there a secret way in this storehouse?"
When Cui Yin heard this, he immediately said again: "Check! The roof and floor walls were carefully inspected by the officer. ”
Fang Tongxing and Li Xiazi, who came with them, also secretly wondered, and couldn't figure out what was going on. Cui Yin turned his head and glanced at the two of them coldly, and snorted coldly: "This official has always thought that the Fang family is innocent, but now it seems that it may not be." If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, sooner or later the official will find out who is destroying the evidence. ”
Fang Tongxing stopped, the horizontal flesh on his face jumped twice, and he said in public: "What does Cui Mingfu mean by this?" You head catchers also said that when the seal was put on, the salt in the treasury was still good, and now the seal has not been moved, who can enter this warehouse, unless ........."
Fang Tongxing said, glancing at Cui Yin with deep meaning, although he didn't finish his words, his eyes had already expressed everything he wanted to say clearly. The seven or eight people who followed up couldn't help but look at Cui Yin, and after discussing it in detail, only the government can do this, remove the original seal, open the warehouse, finish the hands and feet, and then replace it with a new seal and glue it.
At this time, Chengguan came to report again, and there was nothing abnormal on the roof, floor, and wall, which made everyone even more strange and suspicious......
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Cui Yin was very annoyed and pointed at Cheng Guan and others and scolded.
Leon took Tinker Bell and walked around the warehouse, carefully inspecting it, he was also very surprised, who did this? From the perspective of common sense, there is no doubt that Fang Tongxing is the most suspicious;
But on the other hand, Fang Tongxing was the least suspicious, because he didn't know which warehouse had poisoned salt. It is not impossible for him to find this warehouse accurately among the three warehouses.
Then only those who know the inside story will be able to find this treasury in preparation. Those who know the inside story, in addition to a few people such as himself, Cui Yin, and Cheng Guan, there is also the Zhao family.
Because of this poison, it was the Zhao family who got it in.
Li Ang just planned to borrow chickens to lay eggs this time in order to bring down Fang Tongxing. Therefore, if you calculate it, nine times out of ten, the people who secretly do it are the Zhao family, but now you can't even figure out how people enter the house, and if there is no evidence, you can't do anything about them.
"Tinker Bell, it's all up to you this time, sniff carefully and find me the clues."
Although Li Ang didn't have much hope for Tinker Bell, he suddenly realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to overturn the Zhao family.
Tinker Bell seems to have noticed something, sniffing all the way to the base of the back wall, then looking at the wall and letting out a whining growl in her throat.
Leon realized that Tinker Bell could smell the smell left by the perpetrator, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly took it out the back door to the alley behind, Tinker Bell sniffed outside the wall, and immediately turned around and trotted away, sniffing as he walked, but after walking less than twenty steps, it stopped at the mouth of the alley, and everyone came and went at the entrance of the alley, and Tinker Bell stopped here, with no direction.
"Tinker Bell, come on! Sniff again. The perpetrator may have gotten into the car here, which made it difficult for Tinker Bell to identify, and Tinker Bell walked around the street sauce a few times before finally stopping to look at Leang.
"Damn!" Li Ang was helpless, and returned to the courtyard with Tinker Bell, Cui Yin was very clever, and the other two intact warehouses were not in a hurry to test the drugs, on the grounds of first finding out the damaged warehouse, leaving two catchers to guard, and then taking everyone out of the Fang family's salt shop.
Li Xiazi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly said to the other party: "Fang Langjun, immediately send someone you can trust to guard the outside of the shop day and night to prevent someone from mixing poison in the salt of the other two warehouses." ”
"Thank you Mr. Li for reminding me, I'll arrange it."
For Li Ang, there is still a chance, that is, to re-mix the salt in the remaining two warehouses, but Li Ang does not plan to do this, the previous poison was mixed by the Zhao family, and it has nothing to do with him, he just wants to use it.
If he mixes the salt in the other two warehouses now, the nature is completely different, Li Ang doesn't mind being a bad person, but there are some things, he still has his own bottom line, and he sends people to adulterate the poison, and if one is not good, he will be pitted by himself.
The Zhao family and the Fang family will definitely pay close attention to the salt shop in the future, and it will not be easy to mix the salt in the remaining two warehouses.
The court trial of the day has come to an end for the time being, and then all parties concerned must re-plan and make arrangements in full swing.
Li Ang returned to the headquarters of Datang Wushuang Salt Company with an unhappy heart, and the charming Huang Siniang came out and asked, "Li Lang, how is it?" Has there been a result of the court trial? ”
"Don't mention it." Li Ang sat down on the tatami mat in the flower hall, took the pot and took a sip of water, "The salt in the Fang family's auxiliary son has been mixed with water. ”
"Ah, who did that...... Zhao family! Li Lang, this is likely to be a good thing that the Zhao family did secretly. ”
“
You're not too stupid, but you have to prove everything! Li Ang leaned under the window and said, "Siniang, go and light the incense, let me be quiet." ”
Huang Siniang knew that he wanted to think about something, so she didn't dare to ask again, so she went to bring the bronze toad incense burner, added spices and lit it, and a trace of incense wafted out, making her charming face a little ethereal. Her husband died on the third day of marriage, and she never gave birth to a child, and her waist was still as slender as a girl, but her figure was as rich as that of a young woman, like a familiar apple, exuding an alluring fragrance.
Smelling the faint body fragrance wafting from her body, Li Ang smiled and said, "I knew that I didn't need incense, just let you sit next to me." ”
Huang Siniang glanced at him resentfully, since Li Ang slept in the room next to her, she hadn't bolted the door at night, sometimes she couldn't help it, and when she solved it with Mr. Hongxing, she deliberately didn't hide her groan, but there was no movement outside the door.
Huang Siniang sometimes even wonders, do you have to run to his bed by herself?
She was full of resentment, and when she looked up again, she saw that Li Ang had closed his eyes, and he should be thinking about something.
At nightfall, Chengguan arrived as promised, and Leon asked the porter to lead him to the flower hall.
"Li Langjun, these days the snakes and rats in the fire well have been activated, and they have not found any abnormal actions of the Zhao family, and this time the Fang family's salt shop matter, I can't find a trace of flaws in the Zhao family."
"Brother Cheng, don't forget, the Zhao family originally started from **, among the snakes, snakes, rats and rats you launched, whether there are any of them or not, it's hard to say."
"Li Langjun, I dare to guarantee that the person who is used to spy on the Zhao family can definitely be trusted."
Li Ang said quietly: "Then continue to monitor, Cui Mingfu, do you have anything to say?" ”
"Back to Li Langjun, Cui Mingfu said that in the case of Liu Erhu, there is no direct evidence to prove that there is a problem with the Fang family's salt, and it is not easy to convict......."
Li Ang hurriedly interrupted him and said, "You go back first, as for Cui Mingfu to find new evidence, I think it's better to slow down." ”
"Yes, Li Langjun."
After Cheng Guan left, Li Ang also went back to his room to sleep.
Not long after falling asleep, there was a strange noise in Huang Siniang's room next door, and it was getting louder and louder, and Huang Siniang could even be heard shouting: "Hongxing, hurry up a little faster......"
Depend on! Li Ang said secretly, does this girl really want human life?
