Chapter 69: Stone for Silver

Hearing this, Xu Hanliang felt a little surprised.

subconsciously looked down, but found that the person detained by Han Shizhong was actually the mute girl.

At this moment, some blood oozed from her waist again, and her face was extremely pale.

It seems that Xu Hanliang is right, it seems that because of the battle, the wound was torn again.

When the mute girl saw Xu Hanliang, she was slightly stunned at first, and then quickly turned her head.

"I told you yesterday that you don't go out, and you're still disobedient."

Xu Hanliang frowned, but said without suspicion.

"On these people's bodies, they have collected a part of the official silver, but it only adds up to five thousand taels, presumably the rest of the money has been hidden by them."

Although Han Shizhong wondered why Xu Hanliang was familiar with this thief, he still reminded him.

This sentence is actually to ask Xu Hanliang not to contact these thieves with conclusive evidence, so as not to cause any trouble.

"As I said, we only have this silver on us, and there is no more, you Song people don't wronged us."

Hearing Han Shizhong's words, a big man in the distance snorted angrily.

"Now that you thieves have been arrested, don't hand over the remaining official money quickly, otherwise you will be comfortable."

Above the high hall, Jiang Wenzheng scolded.

"We said that if we didn't rob, we didn't rob."

The man said again.

"By the way, Xing Zhu, take me to see those boxes."

Xu Hanliang glanced at Xing Zhukuai and said.

Xing Zhutou was a little puzzled: "However, this thief has already been caught." ”

Xu Hanliang shook his head: "Go and have a look." ”

Just now he actually had a guess in his heart, if his guess was indeed correct, then maybe it was not them who robbed the official silver.

At least, they didn't really grab those official silver.

Xu Hanliang didn't care too much about the situation here.

Soon, under the leadership of Xing Zhutou, Xu Hanliang came to the evidence room.

Now this evidence room is already crowded, all of which are large and small boxes.

Xu Hanliang casually walked to a box, and then opened the box.

After opening one more box, he opened several more boxes one after another.

Every time he opened the box, he would reach out a hand and stroke the bottom of the box.

Most of these boxes were salvaged from the water, and because of their light weight, some of them did not even sink into the water, but floated on the surface.

Similar materials are basically made of pine, so the weight is lighter.

"Xie Yuanlang, these things don't seem to be inappropriate."

Although Xing Zhutou was watching from the sidelines, he was a little puzzled by Xu Hanliang's approach.

"As I thought, the key to solving the case should be these boxes."

Xu Hanliang clapped his hands and continued.

"Are these boxes?"

Xing Zhutou was even more puzzled.

The reason why he followed Xu Hanliang was to learn some criminal investigation experience from Xu Hanliang's hands.

"There is some sand and gravel at the bottom of this box, and the bottom and sides are potholes."

Xu Hanliang made his observations.

"What's wrong with that? These boxes are filled with silver, so they are crushed by the silver, which makes sense, and I guess I didn't pay attention to the sand and gravel. ”

Xing Zhutou asked.

Xu Hanliang shook his head: "It's different, the official silver is basically cast, and the official silver transported this time is all some long strips, and it is impossible to press out such a pitted shape." ”

"And the boxes I just picked up are not wet inside or on the surface, which means they must be floating on the water."

"In that case, the sand and gravel inside is very suspicious, unless it was put in when it was packed, but that's even more unlikely."

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Hanliang secretly analyzed it.

"But what does that mean?"

Xing Zhutou seemed to have sensed the abnormality and continued to ask.

"I won't sell it, I just heard the salvage staff say that a lot of stones were found under the water."

"So I suspect that the official silver was not robbed, but that it was not the official silver that was placed in the first place, but the stone."

Xu Hanliang glanced at Xing Zhutou, and then said.

"Let's go back and have a look."

With that, Xu Hanliang walked back in the direction of the hall first.

Everyone was still questioning the dozen or so Jurchens, trying to pry something out of their mouths.

However, these Jurchens bit those official silvers to death, and they had nothing to do with themselves.

and scolded the Song people for being unscrupulous,

Xu Hanliang walked straight to the mute girl's side and half-squatted down: "Do you want you people to be able to go back alive?" ”

The mute girl, who was originally with her head down, heard this, her eyes lit up slightly: "Song Ren, are you telling the truth?" ”

At this moment, the big man in the distance shouted: "Wanqing, don't say more, these Song people just want to wronged us, and we have already said what we should say." ”

Xu Hanliang glanced at the big man, the standard desert man looks, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

"Wanqing? Good name. Then he looked at the mute girl again: "You can not trust others, but I know that you have been wronged." ”

The sound of this sentence was not small, and it instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the entire court.

"Bold, are you trying to shield the prisoner?"

A shout came, Xu Hanliang turned his head and found that the person who spoke was actually Dai Yuan.

It seems that when he just went out, Dai Yuan, who was the governor of Hangzhou, also rushed over.

Now that the enemies are meeting each other, they are very red-eyed, and Dai Yuan will naturally not let go of the opportunity to rectify Xu Hanliang.

"Isn't this a two-sleeved breeze wearing an adult?"

Xu Hanliang snorted coldly, with a slight mockery between his words.

When Dai Yuan heard this, his face turned dark, and he naturally understood the irony between his words.

sneered: "You said that they were wronged, isn't this covering up for them?" Even I suspect that you are in touch with foreign countries and want to subvert my Great Song Dynasty, Jiang County's order, I suggest that this person be imprisoned immediately! ”

"This, Master Dai, it's better to listen to what Xu Jieyuan has to say."

Jiang Wen smiled bitterly and continued.

He really wanted to hear Xu Hanliang's analysis, since he said so, he naturally had his reasoning.

"Do you believe that we are wronged and useless? But we did rob the official money. ”

The mute girl lowered her head and muttered quietly.

"If most of those official funds are not in your hands, then you are being used, and now that you have spoken out, you are guilty of meritorious service, plus your special status, naturally someone will send you back."

Xu Hanliang looked at the many Jurchens and continued.
