Chapter 420 Dawan County.

After the group told them all the clues, Hua Lang shook his head again and again, because no one found any trace of the carriage, as if the inkstones had suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

And Hua Lang shook his head, wanting to say that this is simply impossible.

Hanarang took out the accompanying map, and analyzed it according to the direction of each person's investigation, and found that around the teahouse, there were mountains and forests on both sides, and they stretched for a long time, and if the thieves rushed into these mountains and forests, it would not only be difficult to get out, but even the carriage would be difficult to move forward, so if they wanted to hide the inkstone and be able to transport it, they had to take the remaining two roads.

One of them is Duanzhou City, that is, the one You Dan walked when they came, but will the thieves be stupid enough to return to Duanzhou City?

The other is Dawan County in the northwest of Duanzhou City, Dawan County belongs to Duanzhou, and it is also the only way to enter Beijing, and the thieves are extremely likely to drive the carriage into Dawan County, and there is no carriage print found along the way to prove this, because the road to Dawan County is a big road, and it has not rained in the past few days, and the carriage print will not be obvious.

If they were in Dawan County, it would be easier to investigate.

After saying this, Bao Zheng bowed his head slightly, and said: "In this case, let's go back to Duanzhou for the time being, and send someone to investigate the mountains and forests in those two directions early tomorrow morning, and then we will go straight to Dawan County." ”

Now, that's all they have.

When they returned to Duanzhou City, it was already late, and when the city gate was about to be closed, they caught up, and after catching up, Bao Zheng called the soldiers guarding the city gate and asked, "Is there a particularly heavy carriage entering the city today?" ”

The doorman thought for a moment and said, "No, we have checked any carriages coming and going, and we have not seen any carriages carrying extra-heavy things into the city. ”

In this way, they can rule out the suspicion that the thieves have entered Duanzhou City.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Bao Zheng sent people to explore in both directions of the mountains and forests, and he and Bao Zheng, You Dan and others went straight to Dawan County, and after coming to the city gate of Dawan County, Bao Zheng immediately showed his identity and asked if someone could transport the inkstone into the city.

When Bao Zheng asked, the doorman nodded again and again, and said: "Yesterday afternoon, there were several carriages carrying inkstones into the city, saying that they were transported to the capital for sale. ”

"And did they leave?"

The doorman shook his head and said: "We don't know what to do, it's already late when they arrived, if they want to leave from the north gate, it shouldn't be possible, but it's not clear if they leave today, you can hurry up and ask." ”

After the doorman finished speaking, Bao Zheng immediately sent someone to the north gate to inquire, and he went to the county government of Dawan County with Hua Lang and others.

This Mei Sanyou is still a little courageous, and he looks like a literati, and his style is also a little, after he gave this order, the city gate of Dawan County immediately obeyed, and then Mei Sanyou said: "Dawan County said that it is not small, and it is not big to say that it is big, if you want to inspect it door to door, one day is enough, how about I go to check with Lord Bao?" ”

For this matter, Bao Zheng naturally couldn't ask for it, so they followed Mei Sanyou and searched every household in the entire Dawan County until late at night, but they didn't find anything.

While they were searching, the officials who went to the north gate came back and said that they had not found anyone leaving with inkstones.

If no one had taken the inkstone away, then the inkstone must still be here, but why didn't it find it?

Mei Sanyou led Bao Zheng and Hua Lang to the post house to rest, and after Bao Zheng asked him to go back, he left in a hurry, and after Mei Sanyou left, they all discussed together.

"If the inkstone hasn't been transported out of Dawan County, why can't it be found?" Bao Zheng looked at everyone and said with some confusion.

None of them were speechless, because none of them knew the reason for the discourse.

At this time, Hua Lang said: "A few carriages will definitely be seen when they enter Dawan County, and tomorrow we can go to the street to inquire and see if anyone can see the carriages passing by and going there." ”

Bao Zheng nodded, this is their only way, although they searched every house today, but Dawan County is still very large, and they only searched people's homes, such as those abandoned houses, as well as natural landscapes, etc., they did not search.

The next day, everyone went to the street to inquire, this matter did not take much time for them, they quickly asked a little clue, the day before yesterday afternoon several carriages drove into Dawan County, and later went to the western suburbs of Hutong, but after that they did not come out.

Everyone hurriedly went to the western suburbs alley, the western suburbs alley exudes a stench, I'm afraid even beggars will not come here, and this place is even more inaccessible, piles of garbage make people avoid.

The alley is very deep, and there are many turns in it, they turned the alley around, and found a few carriages in a corner of the wall, and these carriages are the carriages of You Dan, but although there are carriages at this time, there is no end inkstone on the carriage.

After they pulled the carriage here, they transported the inkstone away, but the inkstone was so heavy, how could they transport it?

Pulling the carriage away, they found a box-sized hole in the wall of the alley, and it was not difficult to transport the boxes containing inkstones out of here.

When they climbed over the wall, they found that there was an open space outside, very remote, with fewer pedestrians, and the carriage prints could be faintly seen, so it was evident that they had changed the carriage here and carried the inkstone away.

It's just that they didn't go out of the city, and the inkstone is still in Dawan County.

They followed the carriage prints, and after looking for about a stick of incense, the carriage prints suddenly disappeared, because the carriage was on the road, and there were no carriage prints left on the road.

The road leads in all directions, and this area is just a crossing, not a street, so if no one happens to pass by here, no one will see them go in that direction, and even if they know what direction the carriage went, these roads lead to various places in Dawan County, who can be sure where they went?

The clue was broken again here, and You Dan's temper became even hotter, and he couldn't wait to knock down a wall with one punch.

Hua Lang shrugged helplessly, and then sent someone to search every place in Dawan County, whether it was an abandoned house or a women's boudoir, not letting go, although it took time, it was better than not being able to find tribute Duan Yan, Bao Zheng and You Dan who were dismissed.
