Chapter 51: Another Gain
When Dong Yanran said that this Zhanfang was not a good thing, Zhanfang, who was surprised, was outside the door and was just about to enter the room. Suddenly, I saw Dong Yanran running out with a shy face, and inexplicably threw out a sentence that she was not a good thing!
Zhanfang was secretly bitter in her heart, she was recruiting someone to provoke whom. How can you speak ill of yourself behind your back. What kind of lady is this Dong Yanran!
As soon as Bao Qing saw Zhanfang coming, he pulled Zhanfang over and said, "Xiaowen asked about the secret room where Li Jiujin's money was hidden!" You run, call your brother! Bring all the contents of the chamber to our house on the east side of the city. ”
Zhan Fang was just about to leave, but Bao Qing shouted again: "Do it quietly, don't let others see it!" ”
After Zhanfang left, Bao Liuwen looked at Bao Qing pitifully, and suddenly asked curiously: "Brother Bao, you said that the Li family is really stupid, if you can't get the money, then why hide it in the hole and drag it away." ”
It can be said that the unintentional listener has a heart, and Bao Qing immediately fell into contemplation after hearing this. Not to mention why the Li family hid the money in the hole, even if they dragged those heavy money boxes ashore today, can they think of it? Is the Li family as stupid as pigs? Maybe there are other intentions, but I don't realize it.
"Let's go, try that water ghost again!"
……
"What is your name?" Who's the people? Bao Qing asked.
The water ghost had been lifted out and thrown on the yamen hall, and Bao Qing was seated high, with two rows of officials holding burning sticks standing on either side.
"My lord, I know I've said it all! Let me go, right? The water ghost said.
"Answer the question, give me a slap!" Bao Qing said, only to see a servant rushing out from the side, walking in front of the water ghost, going up and hitting the water ghost twice, so that the water ghost immediately bled from the mouth.
"My lord, how can you abuse lynching! Didn't you say that you are a blue sky and do not need to be punished? ”
Bao Qing shouted: "Call me again!" ”
The water ghost was slapped twice again, and the painful man screamed: "I said, I said, my name is Zhang Xiaoer, a native of Luzhou City, who lives on the water level all year round, and lives in the Nanqi River!" ”
"Master, it's not that I don't beat people, but I don't like to beat people in front of the Qincha and the people! I ask you, why didn't the boxes of money be shipped away in time? Bao Qing asked.
"Huh? My lord, how do I know this, I'm afraid it's difficult to haul! Zhang Xiaoer said.
"Zhang Xiaoer, do you have a family? Can you have a wife, sons, and daughters? You have been arrested, aren't you in a hurry to go back to meet your anxious wife and children, I can give you a thousand yuan, let you go away and fly high. If not, come on, call me! Bao Qing shouted.
"Slow, sir, may I think about it!"
"Call me!" Bao Qing didn't allow him to think too much, since he threw out the temptation of thousands of dollars, he had to force him to give in quickly.
Sure enough, that Zhang Xiaoer immediately shouted: "My lord, I said!" I say! Bao Qing waved his hand and asked the official to retreat.
"My lord, I know the limit. The Li family has been paying attention to the ships coming and going on the Nanqi River all these years, as long as it is a rich ship or a merchant ship, it will be robbed every time it comes to the territory of Changchang County. Therefore, over the years, there have been rumors of water ghosts in the Nanqi River for a long time. However, we didn't expect that the Li family would dare to rob the silver ship of the government. ”
Bao Qing thought that the silver money hidden in the official mansion in the cave was found, but the merchant ships that came and went on the Nanqi River, and the robbed money was probably hidden by Li Jiujin, which also explained a crucial point. That is, the official silver hidden in the cave is not something that his Li family can or dares to use, or that there are still people above the Li family, and the Li family just obeys orders. In order to confirm this, Bao Qing continued to ask: "Did the Li family deliberately hide this money in that cave for future use?" And the Li family just does what they are told? ”
"My lord, I really don't know! However, the robbed official silver was indeed hidden by the Li family, and the wax was sealed and placed to be damp. I didn't say it would be used in the future! That Zhang Xiaoer thought for a while and said, "I once heard the second child of the Li family accidentally reveal that he was ordered by the top to hide the money like this. I still remember that at that time, the second child of the Li family complained very much about hiding the money in the underwater hole like this! ”
Bao Qing got what he wanted to know, so he withdrew from the hall and asked Zhang Xiaoer to take him down. At the same time, Bao Qing was more excited, it turned out that there was a second child of the Li family hidden here. So he hurriedly called Bao Liuwen and instructed Bao Liuwen to find out the second child of the Li family, pry his mouth open, and then find the place where the money was hidden. Presumably, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, this place to hide money is not just a place. Haha, it looks like you're going to get rich.
Bao Qing sat on top of the lobby, looking at the high roof in a daze. Suddenly, he slapped the table and stood up abruptly. No, how could I forget about it? That Bao Hong once said that many years ago, when Emperor Renzong was not in power, there was a military expenditure of 3 million yuan that passed through Changchang County, and it was also robbed, but the money was never found afterwards. Is it a case within a case? Is that also hidden in a cave? By the way, there is also a hole under the pond of the house in the east of the city, which should lead all the way to the mouth of the hole in the Nanqi River.
Bao Qing suddenly figured out that this Zhang Xiaoer actually dared to hide it from him, and he almost let him go. Zhang Xiaoer should be the water ghost who was chased and escaped by Zhan Zhao in his east house that day, although there was a water ghost who was shot by Zhan Fei's crossbow arrow, but this Zhang Xiaoer should have escaped through the hole. Then he should know what else is in the pond hole.
This Xiao Er revealed to himself the clues behind Li Jiujin and the mastermind, I am afraid that it was done on purpose. One is to let himself go for a while, and the other is to direct his attention to the mastermind behind it so as to preserve the secret hidden in the hole of the pond. As long as this case is solved and the two million yuan of the imperial court is recovered, the upstream embankment will be demolished immediately. Otherwise, it will affect the transportation of the Nanqi River! Therefore, this Zhang Xiaoer thought very clearly, as long as he dragged himself for a few days and waited for the upstream embankment to be destroyed, the secret in the pond hole would be forgotten and difficult to be discovered.
Bao Qing slowly stood up and walked out of the lobby with confidence.
"Zhu Da Niu, Da Niu!"
"Brother Bao, I knew you were looking for me, I was waiting for a long time!" Zhu Daniu said with a smile.
"You tell Jin Wandao to let him show me the two million guan in the yamen, this is related to the net worth of all of us, let him send someone to inform Qin Cha to collect it, and after the acceptance is completed, we will be finished."
"And then?" Zhu Daniu smiled with a grim face.
"You kid, you're getting smarter? Then secretly find me some clever ones, and we'll dig for treasure! Ha ha! There are three million yuan, and we won't have to worry about it in the future! ”
When Zhu Daniu heard this, he was really happy and ran away with joy.
Bao Qing took Zhu Daniu back to his house in the east of the city, looking for someone to dig the hole, and after some efforts, he finally found something.
"Brother Bao, there is really a box, but it is very old, and it is almost too wet to die!" The big cow couldn't resist his curiosity and jumped off the pond himself. Fortunately, there is not much water in the pond, only more than half a person high. The hole in this pond is indeed connected to the Nanqi River half a mile away, and the terrain is much higher than the Nanqi River. Therefore, the water level of the Nanqi River has dropped by half, and the water in this pond has long been leaking half a person high.
"It's a box again, drag it up!" Bao Qing exclaimed happily.
……
Speaking of Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu over there, seeing that more than half of the day had passed, they were very worried about the situation on Bao Qing's side, and waited until Bao Qing sent someone to inform them, saying that all the official silver had been found and transported to the yamen. I was so happy.
"You said that this bag of boys is really a god, and it is true that you have found those two million yuan today, and it is not a lie at all!" Fan Zhongyan was obviously pleased.
"My lord, that bag boy is very cunning, but don't fool him. I've always seen that we seem to have him calculating something! Ouyang Xiu said.
"You can't say that, Uncle Yong, you're not good at that! Always have more ideas when dealing with people! Although Bao Qing is a little nonsense, of course, he is still arrogant, but he is still good in essence. Take this time as an example, such a big case was really solved for him. The most important thing is that the money for disaster relief has been found, and the victims of Jianghuai must thank him! Of course, Uncle Yong, you have merit in recommending people! ”
Ouyang Xiu had nothing to say by Fan Zhongyan, so he had to nod, but in his heart, he thought in his heart, this bag of boys is cunning, and Lord Fan can't see it! Ay!
Let's say that Fan Zhongyan happily returned to the county office, was led to the treasury by Jin Wandao, opened all the cash boxes, and asked Lord Fan to check in person. Fan Zhongyan also went to check it, and it should not be bad to see that this situation should not be bad. And now I absolutely believe in Bao Qing's character, and this Bao Qing can't be secretly intercepted.
"Haha! Qian catches the head, my big brother Bao is going to treasure hunting again, you know? I guess it's three million! This damn bull still refuses to explain it to me, how do you know that I am so smart Bao Liuwen, where can I not guess! Before Bao Liuwen arrived, the sound of laughter came first.
That Jin Wandao couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, since Master Bao's matter was not made public, he definitely didn't want anyone to know. This bag Liu Wen shouted so loudly, I am afraid that it will spread throughout the entire yamen.
After Bao Liuwen came in, she suddenly saw Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu also there, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said, "Why are the two adults also there?" Why don't you see the Chincha Guard? ”
"They are still guarding the embankment, which is blocked by a lot of boats, so I want to ask Master Bao when the embankment can be dismantled." Fan Zhongyan said.
"No, Miss Bao, what do you mean by the three million yuan you just said? By the way, let's receive, why don't you see Lord Bao? Ouyang Xiu asked.
Who is that Jin Wandao? But how many years have I been on the rivers and lakes, I naturally know how to observe words and feelings. I saw Jin Wandao hurriedly glance at Bao Liuwen. Seeing this, Bao Liuwen knew that she was afraid that she would get into trouble again, so she was so frightened that she quickly shut up and shook her head.
