Chapter 379: The Man Who Burned Coal in the Summer

Chapter 379 The Man Who Burned Coal in the Summer.

Is it really not difficult to know the way?

When Hua Lang said this, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce didn't believe it, because they didn't have any clues, and they didn't believe that Hua Lang could easily find out where the treasury silver was hidden.

But whether they believe it or not, they have never doubted Hua Lang, their disbelief is only theirs.

At this time, Hua Lang instructed Wang Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others: "You go to investigate, in the past month or so, there are people who frequently buy coal, and investigate the situation of those who buy coal clearly." ”

After hearing this, the four of them immediately went down to investigate, and at this time, Bao Zheng and the others finally understood the meaning of Hua Lang's words.

It was not an easy task to remelt tens of thousands of taels of silver, melt and shape them again, they had to use a lot of coal to melt that silver, and in such a summer, if someone bought a large amount of coal, it would definitely be noticed.

And sure enough, at noon the next day, Wang Dynasty Mahan and they had news.

"We searched the place where coal is sold in Duanzhou City, and finally found out that ten days ago, there were indeed a few people who frequently bought coal from them, and the boss who sold coal at that time also asked them what they wanted so much coal to do at this time, and those people said that they would buy it home first while the coal was cheap, and then use it in winter, but the boss who sold coal still doubted them, because they sold too much."

After hearing this, Bao Zheng was overjoyed and asked, "Can you find out where and who are the people who buy coal?" ”

Wang Chao replied: "I have already asked the brothers to inquire, and there should be news soon." ”

After about an hour, the people who had inquired about the news finally came back.

"Those who bought coal were all people from the land and land personnel in the east of the city, and they bought about 1,000 catties of coal in total."

After hearing the news, Bao Zheng and the others didn't waste much time, and rushed directly to the mansion outside the Lu Yuan in the east of the city.

After they came to Lu Mansion, the doorman there hurriedly went in to inform Lu Shui, and after a while, a middle-aged man with a moderate figure walked out, he glanced at everyone, and then looked at Bao Zheng and asked, "Lord Bao is so hardworking, but there is something important?" ”

Bao Zheng sneered and said, "Exactly, the state government is catching thieves, and we found that a snitch ran into your mansion and wanted to search." ”

After listening to Bao Zheng's words, Hua Lang nodded secretly, this Bao Zheng is not stupid, he can come up with such a way to search.

At this time, Lu Shui was very surprised and asked, "A snitch ran into my mansion?" How is this possible, my mansion is heavily guarded, if a snitch runs in, can I not know what to do? ”

Bao Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Maybe you don't know the Tao and don't like it?" ”

"I ......"

Lu Shui had nothing to say for a while, because Bao Zheng's words had a deep meaning, if Lu Shui didn't let him search again, then he would really be in league with the snitch.

In the end, Lu Shui had no choice but to say: "Okay, if Lord Bao wants to search, please do it!" ”

Bao Zheng took people into the Lu Mansion, and at this time, Hua Lang told Wang Dynasty Ma Han and others that they should not only investigate the places where coal might be burned, but also carefully observe the people of Lu Mansion, and perhaps that Chen Chen was among these people, Wang Dynasty Ma Han and others nodded and understood, and then searched carefully.

However, they searched a lot, but they did not find the slightest trace of silver, not even of burning coal.

Seeing that Bao Zheng and the others found nothing, Lu Shui looked at Bao Zheng and sneered, and asked, "Now that Lord Bao has also searched, have you ever found the appearance of the snitch?" ”

Bao Zheng couldn't answer for a while, his face was black and red.

At this time, Hua Lang stood up and smiled faintly: "I'm afraid what Lu Yuanwai said is a bit excessive, Lord Bao can investigate if he wants to, how can you be allowed to put your beak here?" ”

"You ......" Lu Shui was speechless again.

At this time, Hua Lang smiled faintly and said, "Lu Yuanwai, let me ask you, I heard that you bought a large amount of coal a few days ago, and where is the coal now, please tell me!" ”

Lu Shui's eyes widened, a little angry, and said, "Do you care if I buy coal?" Where can I break the law? ”

Hua Lang glanced at Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng understood, and immediately shouted angrily: "If you want to answer, you will answer, what are you doing with so much nonsense, hurry up, where did you put all that coal?" ”

Lu Shui was a little angry, but he still replied: "It's changed!" ”

"Changed hands?" Everyone was shocked, or disbelieved.

Lu Shui nodded: "That's right, it's changed!" ”

"Who did you give it to?"

Lu Shui hesitated for a moment, he wanted to ask or not answer, but when he saw Bao Zheng's angry dark face, he was scared, so he had to say: "It's not far from here, Zhang Sanyin is outside the staff." ”

Now Bao Zheng and they really didn't find the shadow of coal here, maybe it was really Zhang Sanyin, but at this time, Hua Lang suddenly asked again: "Why did you turn around and give Zhang Sanyin the coal you bought so hard, if he wanted coal, he could buy it himself, why did he buy yours?" ”

Lu Shui couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Zhang Yuanwai likes to buy me, and it's a short journey, does this son still have questions to ask?" ”

Hua Lang wiped the sweat from his brows and said, "What are you doing when Lu Yuanwai is so angry, you do this, it makes people feel like you have a ghost in your heart." ”

"What the hell can I have in my heart, if you don't believe it, search for it yourself!"

Bao Zheng didn't want to delay here, so he whispered to Hua Lang: "Maybe all this is really done by Zhang Sanyin, let's go to Zhang Sanyin to take a look!"

Hua Lang did not refute Bao Zheng's words, but said: "It's okay to go and see it, but this land and water must be closely monitored." ”

After a group of people left the Lu Mansion, they hurriedly went to the Zhang Mansion, they did not encounter any obstacles in the Zhang Mansion, that Zhang Sanyin was very happy to take Bao Zheng and Hua Lang They went to see the coal they bought, the coal was piled up in a yard, like a hill, Hua Lang They roughly estimated it, and those coal bosses sold it was about the same, that is to say, all the coal bought by Lu Shui was sold to this Zhang Sanyin.

In this way, the matter becomes much more complicated, if Lu Shui and Zhang Sanyin did not use the coal, then how can they melt the silver, and then disperse it and transport it away, or transport it away in other ways.

Hua Lang felt that there must be a place in it, they were negligent, and this negligence made them encounter such a thing, but now there is no clue, they have to leave first, but it is necessary to send people to monitor the Lu Mansion and the Zhang Mansion.
