The Golden Age Chapter 586: Stretching and peeling the cocoon

Chai Shanhe was pulled over by the purple-clothed jailer and kneeled again. Hearing Qin Xiao interrogating, Chai Shanhe smiled disdainfully and said, "Master Qin, it is a dead end if I say this is the case. Why bother?"

"That's not necessarily." Qin Xiao smiled faintly: "If you can tell the truth, or even retrieve the missing silver, you may have a life."

Chai Shanhe laughed twice and said, "Master Qin, I really underestimated you. I thought you were so stupid before that you let me down. It turns out that you set a trap and waited for me to jump down." Qin Xiao's eyes were not undoubtedly confused and said: "I'm just very strange, how can you know that I'm related to this matter?"

"I'm not sure, so I just tried it." Qin Xiao sighed: "The manager of Hangzhou came to Neiku to pick up the silver. It was very sudden. It can be said that you were caught off guard. If he only took away three to five thousand taels of silver, you are completely It can be handled, but Hangzhou has to withdraw 200,000 taels of silver at a time. The warehouse can't get it out at all. You don't have any preparations. The theft of the library silver can only happen."

"The silver treasury was stolen, and hundreds of taels of silver were missing, but seventy to eighty thousand taels of silver were left. Of course, it’s not that you don’t want to take it, but that these silvers must be dealt with at any time. Yinzi passed. Earlier, I had interrogated the deputy head of the warehouse, Mao Lu...!" Qin Xiao looked at Mao Lu in the corner and said, "Master Mao, you said earlier that for many years, the inner city of Jiangnan Sanzhou The business of the storehouses is pretty good. In the inner storehouse, there is more input and less output. The annual profit is very considerable. If those stores need cash turnover, they often raise money from each store first. It is not enough. Neiku adjusts silver here."

Mao Lu hurriedly said: "Exactly. The shop manager in Jiangnan Sanzhou will check the accounts every six months. Except for some of the turnover, the remaining profits will be sent to the inner warehouse for storage. By the end of the year At that time, some of them will be transferred from Neiku to Kyoto and delivered to Kyoto Neiku."

Qin Xiao nodded and slowly said: "The bulk of Jiangnan's business is controlled by the Jiangnan family. The Neiku shops do not compete with the family for profit. It is a bit awkward. Jiangnan Neiku shops can only eat some Jiangnan family. I don’t like the leftovers, but even so, the profit is very impressive. Because the business is not too big, and the shops can turn over each other's cash, every amount of silver allocated by the inner library is actually not that big. The number, Mao Zhu is thin, am I right?"

Mao Lu said: "What the lord said is that according to the money allocated by the humble post, the largest sum of money is only 80,000 taels, but this has been a few years ago. Sometimes the Neiku You can’t make money twice a year."

"So only one hundred thousand taels of silver needs to be stored in the warehouse, which is enough to deal with what happened in the shop." Qin Xiao smiled lightly: "This is why there are still seven or eighty thousand taels of silver left in the warehouse."

Jian Xiaochun asked immediately: "Master Qin, according to you, is it...Wang Tang is also involved?"

"Don't worry." Qin Xiao smiled slightly and looked at Chaishan River: "Chaishanhe, you arranged for Kuyin to be transported out of the inner warehouse. I should be right?"

Jiang Xiaochun frowned and asked Chai Shanhe: "Really you transported Ku Yin out?"

Chai Shanhe hesitated and asked instead: "Master Qin, you said I transported the silver, but do you have a voucher? How did I send out the treasury?"

"I just said, let you go today

On, it's just a test. Qin Xiao said lightly: "After the incident, Commander Jiang blocked Neiku in time, and the spies who remained in Neiku could not get out. These days, I must be looking for opportunities to go down the mountain and escape. Unfortunately, the blockade of Neiku is too strict, and you Chai Shanhe was directly locked up, so it would be difficult to fly with wings. A small smile appeared at the corner of the mouth: "Today I used to clean up the swill pool as an excuse to test you. You finally waited until the chance to get out, and immediately jumped out, took the initiative to ask you to go down the mountain to find someone. At that time, I had Seventy percent surely conclude that you are the spy of Neku, but it is not completely certain, so let you go down the mountain. If you are really a spy, you will definitely escape immediately after going down the mountain, and this is the truth. "

Chai Shanhe sighed: "Master Qin is really smart. I was too anxious and caught your trap."

"You asked me how the silver was transported out of the inner treasury, then I would like to ask you, why did the farmers in Linshan Village suddenly disappear?" Qin Xiao's face was calm, but his eyes were sharp.

Chen Xi said indifferently: "We arrived in Linshan Village. There were 48 villagers in Linshan Village. However, five years ago, there were only 41 households in the village. In Linshan Village, according to the villagers, the seven families were affected by the disaster in their hometown, and they came to Suzhou. Originally, the villagers did not agree with these people to stay in the village, but they gave the villagers a lot of benefits. Will also take the initiative to help the villagers do farm work, so these seven families also settled in Linshan Village."

The corner of Chai Shanhe's eyes twitched, but he didn't speak, Jiang Xiaochun lowered his head, the man thought, and muttered: "Five years ago...yes, those people in Linshan Village came to clean the swill pool, it's been almost five years. "When I thought of something, my face suddenly changed, and my hands and feet were cold.

"There are 26 people in these seven households, including 13 young men, plus women and children." Chen Xi's face was calm and her voice was flat: "The villagers also know that these seven households The young man found a good way to clean up the swill pool for the officers and soldiers on Lingyan Mountain. He would go up the mountain every three days to pull back the leftovers, rice and dirt on the mountain. After pulling these things back, the leftovers The leftovers are divided equally among each household to feed pigs and chickens, while the dirt is to water the fields. Because of this, the villagers have already regarded these seven households as their own family members."

"Master Young Supervisor said earlier that the villagers of Linshan Village were missing, referring to these seven families?" Jiang Xiaochun looked solemn.

Chen Xi nodded and said: "On April 27, these seven families, old and young, suddenly disappeared overnight. When they left, they didn’t bring any furniture or clothes. At first, the villagers thought they were I went out temporarily, but after waiting for several days, I still didn’t see these people coming back, before I was sure that all the seven families had run away." Looking at Jiang Xiaochun, he looked grimly: "Commander Jiang, found that the bank silver was stolen, it was April 25th. In other words, the group of people in Linshan Village fled two days after the incident. If you find out that the farmers have problems in time after the incident, you still have time to arrest them, but it is a pity that Master Qin found this Before the question, you did not realize that the farmers had problems and missed the great opportunity for nothing."

Jiang Xiaochun annoyed and said: "Jianm is dull, indeed...I didn't think that those...these people actually participated in the theft of the internal library." At this time, he had understood it and looked at Qin Xiao and asked: " Master Qin, are you saying that the silver was taken away by the farmers who Chai Shanhe was looking for?"

"Leader Jiang, when did those people go up the mountain?" Qin Xiao asked not to answer.

Jiang Xiaochun said: "

It's all after dark, when everyone is asleep, they can easily clean the swill pool and the hut. Staring at Chai Shanhe, he sneered and said: “Chai Shanhe, it turns out that this is all calculated by you. At first, you suggested that they should come to clean up the dirt at night, saying that there are many people in the daytime, and the brothers have to go to the hut. Inconvenient to clean up, it turned out to be a hidden evil. "

"Commander Jiang agreed that they would come to clean up at night. He must feel that there are two hundred brave soldiers in the inner storehouse. Those farmers who come in will never have any other thoughts." Qin Xiao said slowly: "Moreover, the warehouse has inner storehouses. People in charge of management, even if the farmers had other plans, they would not be able to open the warehouse and threaten the deposit of silver in the warehouse."

Jiang Xiaochun sighed: "When they cleaned up, people have been watching them."

"The person who looked at them was of course also assigned by Chai Shanhe." Qin Xiao also sighed: "Chai Shanhe, if I am not wrong, the two corpses outside should be the ones you arranged to monitor the farmers. Others, of course, can’t think of it. Those who monitor the farmers are already in the same group as them."

Chai Shanhe gave a thumbs up and said: "Master Qin, you can say nothing wrong, I really admire you."

"No." Neiku's deputy director, Bo Maolu, suddenly lost his voice: "This...this is not right...!" Seeing everyone looking at him, a little embarrassed, he arched his hands to Qin Xiao: "My lord, even if those who pretend to be farmers have a way to get the money out, but... But if they want to get the money, they must open the warehouse, otherwise it is impossible to take out a couple of silver from it. The warehouse has no windows, only one. The door, we checked in the warehouse afterwards, and there were no other exits, such as tunnels, etc., and the warehouse was opened that day, and the brass locks were intact, so...so how did they get them from the warehouse? Silver?"

"If Wang Tang is alive, he can give a good explanation." Qin Xiao clasped his fingers together, leaned back and sat on the chair, sighing: "But the other person is dead and he can't get his Confession." After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Mao Lu and said, "Master Mao, you always carry your key with you. Does it mean that others cannot get your key?"

"Absolutely impossible." Mao Lu is categorical: "The humble post regards this key as his life, and...and the humble post will never participate in their conspiracy, please let the adults give it!"

Mao Lu was panicked at the moment. The silver was stolen. He must open the warehouse. To open the warehouse, two keys are necessary. Wang Tang’s participation in the silver pirate plan is almost certain, but Wang Tang can’t do it with just one key. In this way, he will also become a major suspect.

"The key is on you, it doesn't mean that they don't have the same key." Qin Xiao shook his head: "Mao Zhubo, until now you haven't figured out what's going on?"

"The humble job.... The humble job is dull!"

Fai Xin has been making transcripts. At this time, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Mao Lu: "Mao Zhu Bo, you told the adults before that Wang Tang is your tea buddy. There should be nothing wrong with it, right?"

"Yes...I occasionally drink tea together." Mao Lu really didn't want to have anything to do with Wang Tang, but he had said it before and had to bite the bullet and admit it.

"With so many people in Neiku, why did he become a tea friend with you? You didn't want to understand the reason?" Fei Xin said indifferently: "After all, of course it is for your key."
