170 The Mystery of the Fake Warehouse
Light shines through the door, and the walls resemble a mirror.
Xiong Wei looked at the wall carefully. We didn't see anything wrong with the wall when we first came in.
He touched the wall with his hand again, and found that there was still some sticky feeling on the wall, which was that the wall had not yet dried. He took a step back and continued to look at the wall.
Xiong Wei held his right hand with his left hand and his chin with his right hand, recalling the scene in his mind. At that time, the soldiers opened the door and first found a note on the wall. I walked over, and the note read: If you want food and grass, you will see it.
I am also asking Xia Yun to check this warehouse. Xia Yun was checking the wall of the warehouse, and when she checked this wall, she was looking at the note on the wall, and Xia Yun also walked over.
There were no gaps in the wall at that time.
Xiong Wei walked in briskly again, carefully examining the gap. The gap slowly cracked open and joined into a line. The gaps are connected, as if they form a door in the wall.
Could it be that the grain was smuggled out of here?
Xiong Wei tried to push it with his hand, and the wall was a little loose, and the cracks were also cracked. Xiong Wei guessed that the wall was built after smuggling grain. So why put it up again? It's about making the warehouse look good......
Xiong Wei thought about the whole process and found that he had been tricked.
Xia Yun was still observing the wall, and when she looked back, her eyes just stayed on the wall that Xiong Wei pushed with her hand just now.
The walls are looser, and the gaps are more visible, making it completely apparent that it is a door.
Xia Yun also walked over, looked at the wall and said, "That's where the note was found. I was looking along the wall and the walls everywhere else were solid. ”
Xiong Wei suddenly realized: "When we found the note, we first went to see what words were on it. Just ignore the wall. ”
"Yes!" Xia Yun said affirmatively, "When I walked to this wall and saw you standing here looking at the note on the wall, I followed you to read the note." ”
"We focused on that note. Yes, that's what this note is to blame. ”
"So, there's only one wall of all the walls, and I didn't check it. "Xia Yun has never made a mistake, and this time she would make such a mistake, it's really a little incomprehensible.
Xiong Wei used "Feifei" to stir up the dirt along the corner of the wall, and the soil was very loose. He gently touched the wall with his hand, and his hand felt wet.
Suddenly, he understood what the secret of this fake warehouse was.
"This wall is very loose because it was patched up after smuggling food. He looked at the mud on the wall again, and the feeling of wetness, "When we found that the warehouse was empty, we focused on the notes and ignored the wall." ”
"At that time, the wall was only filled, and there were no gaps yet. After a busy day of running back and forth, cracks developed between the new and old walls because of the different humidity. That's why we didn't find the crack at the time, and we only find it now. ”
Xiong Wei pressed his hand on the wall and pushed it hard, and the wall fell outward.
"However, smuggling is smuggling, why do you continue to patch up the wall?" Xiong Wei thought of this and looked at Xia Yun, "Yun'er, what do you think?"
Xia Yun thought about it and said: "When I found out that the grain was stolen, the fake county order was still there, which means that the grain was still in the county seat of Dezhou. Putting that note on the wall was a ploy. so that they can delay and let them continue to smuggle food. ”
According to Xia Yun's analysis and his own association, Xiong Wei has a complete program for the ins and outs of the whole thing.
He recalled the events of that day, and when he carried things, he was carried by the officials of the county government at that time. The soldiers from Beijing were in a hurry and rested for a while before they moved.
As long as these officials are moving, they use sacks to block this wall first. When the grain is piled up, no one will find out about the problem from the warehouse.
When everything is done, the door is locked. His own guards stood in front of the door, but they were just decorations.
In the middle of the night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, the officials of the county government and the smugglers of grain opened the loose wall from behind, moved the grain out of the warehouse, and moved it along the foot of the wall into the woods behind the warehouse.
After the grain was removed, the bricks were put on top again.
Thinking of this, Xiong Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: a good one to transfer flowers and trees, and a good one to move the tiger away from the mountain.
"However, at that time, I was obviously sitting on the roof and watching, so much movement. How could we not have noticed? Who ended up leaving the note in the warehouse?"
Xiong Wei is trying to find out. Then he heard a soldier come to report it.
"Lord Bear...... We found a lot of people in the firewood room in the back, and I don't know if it was the previous officer. ”
"Let's go take a look. Xiong Wei followed the soldiers to the firewood house.
Their mouths were gagged, and their hands and feet were tied.
The county magistrate saw that his servants were all tied up, and hurriedly ran forward to help them untie them. He replied to Xiong Wei and said, "My lord, these are all the officials of my county government, and there are a lot of them. ”
He asked, "Why are you all here?"
"My lord, spare your life!" said all the officials, kneeling.
"My lord, a few days ago, when we came to change shifts, we were inexplicably knocked unconscious, and then we were taken to the firewood room. ”
Xiong Wei thought about it, and he understood that these people had no malicious intent. They just wanted to rob the money and food, and they didn't mean to kill anyone.
The county magistrate counted all the people and found that there seemed to be one person missing. He looked at everyone's faces again and said, "Where is Master?" ”
Officials, look at me, I look at you, and they all shake their heads.
"Keep looking. Seeing that everyone didn't know where they were, Xiong Wei gave another order.
"Not true. He suddenly stopped and looked at the county magistrate and said, "You said you were arrested half a month ago?"
He looked at the official again, frowned, and said, "You were arrested only a few days ago?
"Fake county order?" Xiong Wei suddenly understood that the note was put on by a fake county order. He was the only one in the entire warehouse who could move under his nose, without alerting himself.
"Who is the fake county order?" Xiong asked loudly, and said to the officials kneeling in front of the county order, "You are all in a gang, and you are involved in smuggling grain out." Who's the mastermind, say quickly. ”
"Lord Xiong knows that we have all been forced. The kneeling servant kept begging for mercy from Xiong Wei.
"Oh! I suddenly remembered......" said one of the officials.
Xiong Wei looked at the official and listened to what he said.
The official told Xiong Wei that half a month ago, the master said that the county ordered the lord to go to the field on an errand. Before leaving, he explained that the rockery in the yard needed to be repaired, and then a group of people came in to surround the rockery and prevent others from approaching.
The officials in the prefecture were not allowed to pass by if there was something, and everyone felt strange. Usually, when the county magistrate is there, the master is also managing things. The master said that he would not let it, and everyone didn't think much about it. After the county ordered the adults to "run errands", everyone listened to the master.
A few days ago, the master found this official alone and told him to explain to his family that he was going to make a trip, saying that he was going to send an official document and that it would take about a week or so to come back, so that the family should not worry. He also said that this was a secret official document and that he was not allowed to mention the matter to anyone.
As a result, when I came to the county office the next day, I went to the master's room to look for him. I was hit with a blow inexplicably, and then I woke up in the firewood room. The official said that at that time, he also found that several brothers were already in the firewood house. There are also people who watch over each other and don't let each other talk.
"And what's the matter with you?" Xiong asked as he looked at the other officials.
"That's roughly the case with us. The officials nodded their heads, and they all said to Xiong Wei, "We are not subject to any other control than to prevent us from passing on news to each other." Meals were delivered every day. ”
Xiong Wei found a few soldiers from Beijing and asked them to identify these officials. "Take a good look at it, are these people participating in the grain transporting service?"
"My lord, these people did not participate in the grain transport. The soldier carefully identified them one by one, and felt that none of them had seen them.
Xiong Wei asked the soldiers to search the whole city, but they did not find anyone who carried the grain with him that night. It seems that not only is the county order fake, but even all the officials of the county government have been replaced. Someone must have secretly arranged and responded to all this.
Xiong Wei looked at the county order and said, "County master, it seems that your county government has a spy." Think about it, what's wrong with me lately?"
The county magistrate looked at Xiong Wei and said for a long time: "Since the master came, many official documents have been handled by the master. ”
Xia Yun looked at some official documents from the county government and said, "You haven't looked at these official documents reported from all over the country, and these words are also signed by the master?"
The county commander looked at Xia Yun, knowing that he couldn't hide it, and said tremblingly: "Since the master came, I can't fight by myself." ”
"Secret official documents, usually issued by the county order, how can the master do things for you?" Xia Yun glared at the county order and said.
Xiong Wei's tone began to be very tactful, and suddenly his tone became very tough. "Say, what is the origin of this master? ”
The county commander replied with his legs weakened, knelt on the ground and trembled. Seeing Xiong Wei's posture, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
