Chapter 20: Capture of Stolen Goods

Ye Xiaotian was just about to speak, Zhang Hongchou, Qiao Zhenhua, and Liu Junyang rushed in with a group of family members, and shouted as soon as they entered the hall: "The silver has been stolen?" What the hell is going on, Lao Kuai, Lao Kuai, tell me clearly, Guan Xiaokun did it? ”

Kuai Peng couldn't wait for Ye Xiaotian to uncover the mystery, and hurriedly said: "Don't make any noise first, stand aside and listen to Xiaotian!" ”

Zhang Hongchou, Qiao Zhenhua and the others were stunned, Kuai Peng has a rough temperament, and he has always had no one in his eyes, when did he be so obedient to a person, and looking at his appearance, he seems to listen to Ye Xiaotian's words.

Ye Xiaotian smiled at them, said hello, and then turned to Guan Xiaokun and said: "This evidence is easy to find, on the day of the charity sale, the silver box was carried all the way back to Guozijian by eight guys from your restaurant, as long as I can prove that the silver box was not stolen in Guozijian, then these eight people will not be able to escape the involvement, right?" ”

Guan Xiaokun's face was extremely ugly, and he still said stiffly: "How do you prove it?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "After those guys left the restaurant with the silver box, they only stopped for a moment at one intersection because they ran into a welcoming team passing by, and the silver box never left their shoulders since. If I find the same box now, full of silver, as long as you guys can carry the silver box according to the route of the day, and go all the way without resting, I Ye Xiaotian will kowtow to you and confess my sins! ”

Ye Xiaotian's tone of voice was still soothing at the beginning, but when he said it later, he was already full of voice. Guan Xiaokun seemed to have been hit head-on by an invisible fist, and took a step back sharply, his face pale.

Tang Xianzu said leisurely: "Kuai Peng was not the only one who escorted the silver taels that day. There are also more than a dozen fast catches such as Xing Zhutou, even if Kuai Peng's memory is not clear. It's impossible to remember all the more than ten catches, so. You can find them as witnesses, follow them all the way, and make sure your buddy can go perfectly! ”

Guan Xiaokun originally wanted to quibble, but he was speechless when he heard this. Ye Xiaotian smiled and turned around to Kuai Peng and Le Siye and said, "Now, I understand why they went to the Guozijian treasury to move the bricks out of the boxes, why did they pry all three boxes, but the door lock was intact. ”

Zhang Hongchou, Qiao Zhenhua and others were inexplicable when they heard it, and couldn't help but interject: "Bricks? What bricks? ”

Kuai Peng said impatiently: "I'll tell you more about it later." ”

Kuai Peng couldn't wait to ask Ye Xiaotian, "Say it quickly, why?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "It's not because they can unlock the door. But you can't open the lock of the box, so the mystery is one thing, and the main reason is ......, the silver box has been replaced by them, and the key on your body has not been able to open those boxes, so they want to pry the lock, when we find out that the silver is stolen, who will be bored, to try to use the key to open the lock that has been pried open? ”

Kuai Peng's fists intersected. Excitedly said: "Not bad! Not bad! If I go back and try it now, my key will not be able to open those locks. Haha, your mind is really shrewd. You can think of so much. ”

Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "Actually, there are many things I don't understand, for example, they haven't been in and out of the country's prison. Where did they find help, and where did they find the keys to the barn door. None of that matters, though. He'll sue us anyway, right? ”

Ye Xiaotian said, and turned to Guan Xiaokun leisurely, at this time, Guan Xiaokun's face was as pale as paper, and he seemed to be unable to stand steadily.

"My lord, I've searched all over the third floor, no!"

"My lord, I've searched the second floor, but no!"

"Sir, ...... on the first floor"

Kuai Peng was excited, but the bad news came one after another, and Kuai Peng's face suddenly became gloomy.

Kuai Peng is still very trustworthy in his subordinates' ability to steal the house, and it is a huge amount of silver taels, not a needle, how can it be so easy to hide, unless it is transported out first. If that's the case, even though they have reasons that cannot be denied, they are afraid that this lawsuit will still be in trouble. You must know that Guan Xiaokun's father is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and there is a little grandfather behind him.

"Has the money been taken away?" Ye Xiaotian's heart also sank, but he glanced at Guan Xiaokun and suddenly rejected this idea.

"Impossible! If the silver had been transported away, Guan Xiaokun should not have appeared in Baishanlou at this time! If the silver had been taken away, he would have been speechless even if my reasons had been refuted, but his current panic was more than just speechless to my speculations......

Ye Xiaotian said categorically: "The silver hasn't been shipped away yet!" ”

When he said this, he kept staring at Guan Xiaokun's expression, Guan Xiaokun did not disappoint him, and the panic fell into Ye Xiaotian's eyes at that moment, Ye Xiaotian was relieved in his heart, and said to Kuai Peng: "It will never be wrong, the silver is still in Baishanlou!" ”

Kuai Peng now threw himself to the ground for the five bodies that Ye Xiaotian had admired, and immediately ordered: "Search me again, Liang is on and under the bed, don't let go of even a toilet, search me carefully." ”

The captain of the brocade clothes was not very convinced by Ye Xiaotian's words, when it came to raiding the house, there was no one better at it than their brocade guards, and they just searched according to the standard of raiding the house, how could there be any omissions, but the lord of the hundred households had already ordered, so he had to lead the people back upstairs.

Zhang Hongchou waved his arms and said, "Old Qiao, Junyang, take your people, let's search together!" ”

"You...... You, why, what qualifications do you have......" Guan Xiaokun said in a panic, but his confidence was not enough, and it couldn't play any role at all.

"Search, search the toilet for me, and stir it up for me with a pole!" Kuai Peng really planned to dig three feet into the ground, he did this when he was in the Guozi Prison, and now he still wants to do this, but this time the younger brother will do it for him, so he doesn't have to run to stir up the dung pit himself.

At the door of the kitchen, Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei stood side by side, looking into the kitchen. The area of the large kitchen in Baishanlou is quite large, almost equivalent to one-third of the area of the front hall, more than 50 stoves, because it is not the time of the meal, only more than 20 are lit at this time, some cooks and helpers are preparing dishes, and there are all kinds of ingredients on the board and water table.

Ye Xiaotian walked over. He looked into the kitchen and asked, "Have you searched here?" ”

Mao asked Zhidao: "Not yet." How can silver not be hidden in such a place? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "How do you know if you don't search, and you won't let go of a place." Search! ”

"Good!" Mao asked Zhi to roll up his sleeves and walked in with Hua Yunfei, and a chef said unhappily: "What are you doing, what are you running to the room to rummage?" ”

Immediately, a brocade guard greeted him, flipped his wrist, showed his waist card, and said: "Jinyi guard takes the thief, don't talk nonsense, go aside!" ”

"The brocade guard takes the thief?" The chef looked at Mao Wenzhi in amazement, opened a large drawer with a "bang", and inserted his hands into it. Rummaging in the frozen fish, where not even a dwarf could hide.

Ye Xiaotian walked in, slowly patrolling around the left and right, he hadn't eaten since breakfast, suddenly saw a plate of fried meatballs, picked up two and threw them into his mouth, and suddenly noticed that a swill bucket next to him was empty, Ye Xiaotian pointed to the swill bucket while chewing meatballs. He said vaguely to a helper, "Why are all the swill buckets in your kitchen empty?" Didn't you have any business to do during the day? ”

The helper said: "Our Baishanlou business is very good, how can there be no business, the swill has just been transported away." ”

Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Only at this hour did you get swill?" ”

The gang said: "Recently, the inspection of entering and leaving the city has been very strict. Therefore, sometimes the time to collect the swill does not arrive until the evening. ”

"Oh!" Ye Xiaotian picked up another meatball and threw it into his mouth, and suddenly noticed that two helpers were carrying a swill bucket and had just opened the back door of the kitchen. ”

The helper who answered said, "Yes! ”

Ye Xiaotian noticed his fleeting nervousness. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he immediately patted Hua Yunfei on the shoulder. Chao Mao Wenzhi shouted loudly: "Here, hurry!" With that, he hurried to the back door of the kitchen.

There are several donkey carts parked in the alley outside the back door. The cart was loaded with buckets of swill, and the grooms stood aside with whips. There were more than 20 swill buckets on the ground, and several guys from the Drunken Immortal Building were working together to lift the swill buckets and put them on the car with great difficulty.

Ye Xiaotian rushed out of the back door, and when he saw this situation, he shouted: "Don't carry it away!" Put the swill down! ”

Those guys suddenly saw several people rushing out of the back door, including two brocade guards, and couldn't help but panic. A brocade-clothed guard rushed up and scolded, "Damn, did you stuff donkey hair in your ears and didn't hear our orders?" Put the bucket down! ”

After the brocade-clothed captain finished speaking, he raised his leg and kicked it on the swill bucket. The two people who were carrying the swill bucket groaned, and the swill bucket in their hands fell and fell to the ground, and the swill flowed to the ground, and silver ingots were scattered from the bucket.

Mao Wenzhi smiled and said, "Ha, I found it!" Got it! ”

At this time, Guan Xiaokun also followed out of the back door, and when he saw this situation, he turned around and ran. Ye Xiaotian shouted: "Catch him!" Look at the silver! Ye Xiaotian hurriedly put down this sentence, and flew towards Guan Xiaokun with Hua Yun.

Guan Xiaokun fled along the long water case, throwing some fish and vegetables and large bowls all the way to Ye Xiaotian and Hua Yunfei behind him, hindering them from chasing, and fled into the hall in a panic. ”

Seeing this, Guan Xiaokun panicked and fled along the stairs to the second floor, but only climbed a few steps up the stairs, and saw Zhang Hongchou and Qiao Zhenhua walking down the stairs.

Guan Xiaokun fled left and right like a trapped beast, but unfortunately there were Zhang Hongchou's brothers and Jinyiwei's people in all directions, and finally he was forced to flee to the stage, surrounded by Zhang Hongchou and others who were gradually approaching. Guan Xiaokun's face was pale, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he said in a trembling voice: "I...... I ......, what are you going to do? ”

Ye Xiaotian caught up and said loudly: "The silver has been found!" He did it! ”

When Zhang Hongchou and the others heard this, they all glared at Guan Xiaokun with fierce eyes, Zhang Hongchou rolled up his sleeves and smiled at Guan Xiaokun: "The surname is Guan, you have a kind!" Say, do you want to die now...... or do you want to die? ”

: I don't know what happened last night, vomiting and diarrhea, tossing me, now I'm tired, it is said that this wave of colds are like this, but I don't have a fever, but my stomach is uncomfortable, and now the Lun family is really weak, and I will fall down when I push it......
