The minion quickly agreed, and went out to find someone.

When Zhang Laosan and Kang Dali were recovered, Li Yongan convened a meeting with all his subordinates, told everyone what happened, and finally told everyone: "Damn, this group of bastards let Lao Tzu carry the black cauldron of stealing the grave and digging the grave, and it is still the tomb of Mrs. Tan, which is really unbearable!" You must find out these bastards for Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu wants to break them into pieces one by one! ”

After Zhang Laosan, Kang Dali and others received the order, they hurriedly took people to investigate. Kang Dali led people to investigate the channels for selling stolen goods, and traced clues around pawnshops and jewelry stores in nearby counties. Zhang Laosan took people to target Steward Zhao of the Tan Mansion, Zhang Laosan thought to himself, since this matter was only known to Old Man Tan, Steward Zhao and the big boss, then the big boss had not done it, and the problem must be with Steward Zhao, so he stared at him 24 hours a day to see if he could find anything abnormal.

But after staring at it for more than half a month, Steward Zhao's behavior was normal, and there was nothing suspicious. Steward Zhao also died of illness in his early years, he has been living in Tan Mansion, and regards Tan Mansion as his home, he also has a girl, married in the county seat, Zhang Laosan thought: "Since the things are not here with him, it must be given to him for his girl and son-in-law!" So he took someone on a special trip to the county seat to check on his girl and son-in-law. The young couple looked like honest people, the men worked in a dyeing shop, and the women mainly looked after the young children at home, occasionally doing the work of sewing and mending. Zhang Laosan observed them for a few days and found that the young couple had a light life, and there was no sign of sudden wealth. In the end, I was impatient, so I simply pretended to be a robber and went to the door to rob at night, under the coercion, the little couple was scared to the point of urine, Zhang Laosan even threatened the child's life, but in the end, he just forced out the money saved by the two little couples on weekdays, and in addition, there was nothing more! Zhang Laosan has been a bandit for so many years, and he can be regarded as reading countless people, and at a glance, he knows that the couple are honest people, and there is indeed no wealth at home! So he left with someone without taking a penny, which made the husband and wife confused.

Zhang Laosan found nothing here at Steward Zhao, and couldn't help but be suspicious, thinking: "Is it really the big boss who did it, hiding from the brothers and wanting to eat alone?" Of course, he just thought about it casually, and didn't take it seriously, during the time he was in contact with Li Yongan, he knew that Li Yongan was a fair and upright person, and would never do such a sneaky thing, and he also knew that he didn't care much about money, and always shared happiness with his brothers!

Since he couldn't find any clues from Steward Zhao, Zhang Laosan had no choice but to give up and turn his head to help Kang vigorously track down the channels for selling stolen goods. Most of the property lost by the Tan family is gold, silver and jade jewelry, no matter which thief makes it, they need to be sold for money to spend in the end, so as long as you keep an eye on things, you will naturally be able to find the thief who stole things!

But more than half a year has passed since Old Man Tan buried his things and found out that the things were stolen, and the thief may have sold these belongings a long time ago and lost a trace in the market. Kang Dali, Zhang Laosan and others investigated for a month, but there were no clues, and they fell into a predicament for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

In the past month and a half, the second lady Tan Suqin has come to inquire several times, asking Li Yongan how he is doing and what progress he has made. Li Yongan was speechless, very annoyed, and found Zhang Laosan, Kang Dali and others to scold him. Zhang Laosan and the others were forced to be in a hurry, and suddenly came up with a way, these days, although they have not found any clues, but they are very familiar with the heads of the stolen goods industry, and know who is doing this kind of business around this square circle. Zhang Laosan came up with a way to say: "If the soft one doesn't work, give him the hard one!" If you want to sell the stolen goods in a radius of 100 miles, you must pass through the hands of these people, so we might as well arrest them and torture them one by one to extract confessions, not afraid of prying the truth out of their mouths! ”

It's just that the movement is too big in this way, and the sale of stolen goods also involves all parties in black and white, Zhang Laosan and others were afraid that they would not be able to clean up if they poked out some baskets, so they came to ask Li Yongan for instructions. Li Yongan is now in a hurry, and wants to quickly find out the matter and give an explanation to the two young ladies, and clear up his injustice, where does he care if he stabs the basket or not? scolded Zhang Laosan and others: "Damn, you have been a bandit for nothing for so many years, and those who are bandits are afraid of stabbing the basket?" Shame on Lao Tzu! If you do it boldly, even if you poke the big basket, Lao Tzu will carry it for you! ”

With Li Yongan's permission, Zhang Laosan and others let go of it, arrested several people in the stolen goods shop in a row, and chopped their hands and feet to extort confessions, and finally they forced out some clues, according to these people's confessions, they did make a big deal in the stolen goods shop a few months ago, and the amount was so huge that it was difficult for a family to swallow, and finally it was divided equally by the three most powerful families in their industry! After Zhang Laosan and others inquired about the identities of these three families, they came to report to Li Yongan.

Li Yongan couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, and personally led people to find these three.

These three are among the largest pawnshops in the county, and they are engaged in serious business on the surface, but secretly they are engaged in buying and selling stolen goods. In fact, this is also related to the current shape shì, in troubled times, wars are continuous, serious business is not easy to do, and in this troubled world, there are many bandits, stealing and robbing are frequent, a large number of stolen goods circulate in the market, so buying and selling stolen goods has become a money-making business, and the world is chaotic The government has no time to take care of it, so there are many people who take risks to do this kind of business, among which most of them are pawnshops, after all, they are familiar with the road.

In fact, although the Tan family lost a lot of property, the amount is considerable, but for these big pawnshops in the county, it is not difficult to swallow it alone, after all, the stolen goods are much cheaper than the serious pawns, and sometimes the stolen goods are only one or two percent of the original price in order to get rid of them as soon as possible, so as not to have a long night and a lot of dreams. But there is an unwritten rule in the industry, since you are buying stolen goods, you can't ask the source of the stolen goods, there are a lot of rare treasures are from powerful people, accidentally stolen by thieves, if the east window incident, may get into trouble, or even lose your life, so in the face of this kind of rare treasure stolen goods, if you have the guts, you will eat, without this guts to get rid of this idea as soon as possible!

But human nature is often greedy and insufficient, and it is often difficult to give up in the face of such a huge **, so some people came up with such an idea, whenever faced with a huge amount of property, if you are not sure about it, you will invite a few peers to do this business together, which is called "sharing risks!" "If anything goes wrong, we can rely on the strength of everyone to settle things together!
