Chapter 411: Take a Walk.

Bao Zheng seemed to see Hua Lang's puzzlement, so he hurriedly said: "The account book clearly writes how many inkstones they dug out and how many inkstones they made, some inkstones can carve two inkstones, and some are one, but after my careful scrutiny, I feel that there are discrepancies in this, some inkstones are very large, at least three or four pieces can be carved, why are there only two pieces at most, and besides, if those soldiers dug out the inkstones and did not record them, but hid them?" ”

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, Hua Lang already understood, so he asked, "What does Brother Bao mean?" ”

Bao Zheng smiled faintly: "Please also ask Brother Hua and others to come with me tomorrow, I will go to that place for a field trip." ”

Hua Lang nodded slightly: "Brother Bao, as the governor of Duanzhou, should indeed go and take a look, just take a walk like this, and you can know the clues?" ”

Bao Zheng shook his head: "Let's see if it's just a disguise, how to determine what things will depend on Brother Hua!" ”

Hua Lang was a little puzzled and continued to ask, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Bao Zheng smiled again and said: "Tomorrow I will go to the barracks of the box soldiers, and I will ask them to call all the people and others, and I will drag these people, and you and Yin Wumeng will search the tents of the commanders of the box soldiers and the people who are waiting, it should be extremely easy to think about it." ”

After listening to Bao Zheng's words, the faces of Yin Wuxian and Wen Meng and the others were a little ugly, and they asked them to search the barracks of the box soldiers, which is too risky, Bao Zheng is the governor of Duanzhou, why not give an order?

Bao Zheng seemed to notice everyone's hesitation, so he hurriedly asked, "What, do you think this method doesn't work?" ”

Hua Lang scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "It's all right, but if we don't find anything, then it's a little troublesome." ”

Bao Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "How can you not find it?" ”

Hua Lang found a chair and sat down, and said: "Those commanders and envoys are not stupid people, how can they be stupid enough to hide a big stone in their camp tent, they must have hidden it nearby, and then wait for the appropriate opportunity to pull it away or make a move, we went to the barracks, even if it is an open search, it is unlikely that we will search those inkstones." ”

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Bao Zheng suddenly had a feeling of empowerment, he suddenly got up from his chair and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Hua Lang thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's simple, as long as you can let those people who hide the inkstone take it out by themselves." ”

"But can they take it out themselves?"

Hua Lang smiled: "If they were ordered to take it out, they would naturally not take it, but if they used other methods, they wouldn't be able to do it." ”

So, after some discussion, everyone decided to go to the camp early tomorrow morning.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, the autumn wind was strong, and the pedestrians on the street were pulling their clothes tightly when they walked, for fear of being blown into it by the wind.

The military camp of the soldiers was in a mountain col about 20 miles outside Duanzhou City, which was rich in inkstones, and that place was also the place where the imperial court stipulated that the tribute inkstone was mined, and in normal times, the people were absolutely not allowed to approach.

The place is very large, but there are few trees, the mountains are full of stones and deep ravines dug very deeply, it was almost noon when Bao Zheng and his party arrived at the barracks, after they reported their names and positions, a box soldier hurriedly ran back to Tongyu, and after a while, You Dan strode out to greet him.

That You Dan is burly, with a long face and beard, which is a little unworthy of his name, his name gives people the feeling that he should be a relatively elegant person, and after seeing it, it is obviously not like this.

Na You Dan stepped forward, saluted Bao Zheng, and then asked, "I wonder why Lord Bao has time to come to this ravine?" ”

You Dan spoke very straightforwardly, so Bao Zheng was a little embarrassed for a while, but Bao Zheng was Bao Zheng after all, he only smiled faintly and said: "A few days ago, Commander You said that the matter of Gong Yan is almost ready, and I will check it out to see if there are any problems." ”

When You Dan heard this, he didn't doubt it, and said, "Since that's the case, then please come with me, those craftsmen are doing the most exquisite carving." You Dan said, then strode away in front, not long after, Ling Bao Zheng and they went to a relatively open place, this place is surrounded by van soldiers, there are one or twenty tents of all sizes in it, that You Dan explained while walking in front: "There is a master craftsman in each of these tents, of course, some craftsmen are here with apprentices, there are about twenty-one tents here, these days I asked them to step up their work, so as not to delay the time of tribute." ”

Bao Zheng and Hua Lang looked at these tents, and then Bao Zheng said: "Looking at their appearance, they are indeed very hardworking, but the commander of the tour is not afraid that they will secretly take away the inkstone?" ”

You Dan listened to Bao Zheng's words, and suddenly said with a smile: "Lord Bao is too worried, I am surrounded by van soldiers, and what they take away is convenient, and they will not leave the sight of these van soldiers." ”

Listening to You Dan's words, Bao Zheng smiled faintly and said, "This is not necessarily, let me go in and have a look, you are waiting outside." ”

That You Dan was about to go in with Bao Zheng, but after hearing this sentence, he suddenly stopped, and the look on his face was a little embarrassed. Because he didn't expect Bao Zheng to not let him go in with him.

Bao Zheng went in for about half a pillar of incense, and everyone was waiting outside a little anxiously, and just when everyone was waiting a little impatiently, they suddenly heard Bao Zheng scolding inside: "Say, where did you hide the inkstone?" ”

Everyone heard this, there was still waiting outside, so they rushed into the tent, after rushing into the tent, only to see an old man and a young man kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and Bao Zheng was angry, as if he couldn't kill the two people in front of him, You Dan saw this scene, and then thought of Bao Zheng's words just now, and immediately understood what was going on, he stepped forward to give the two people a kick, but at this time, he was suddenly stopped by Bao Zheng's drink, only to hear Bao Zheng say: "Commander You, it's useless to beat them, it's better to find the inkstone first." ”

You Dan is a military general, he doesn't like to think too much, and at this time he didn't consider how Bao Zheng found out that these two people had stolen the inkstone, and after agreeing again and again, he rushed out of the tent and called the generals of all sizes in the barracks.

When the generals came to You Dan's tent, they didn't understand what was going on, but they knew You Dan's temper, and they didn't dare to ask, so they just waited for You Dan to say.
