Chapter 362
Zhuang Chengyuan said to Director Yan: "How is the inspection of the warehouses in the city going now?"
Director Yan didn't send anyone to investigate at all. He could only say: "It's just the beginning. But judging from the situation of these shopkeepers, you don't have any hope. Even if my people can enter the warehouse to search, let alone
There are also many foreign merchants’ warehouses here.”
Zhuang Chengyuan also knew that Director Yan was telling the truth. He sat there without saying a word and just kept smoking.
Director Yan saw that Zhuang Chengyuan was just smoking, so he said: "These people have been interrogated. Shouldn't they be released?"
Zhuang Chengyuan was angry at this time and said: "Let's lock it up for two days before we talk. Let's start by checking these warehouses. As much as we can recover that batch of military rations!"
Anyway, you are the biggest now, so whatever you say will be whatever it is, and I will listen, Director Yan thought to himself.
Zhuang Chengyuan suddenly had a new idea when he saw the rice bags with the words "military ration" on them brought out from the grain store.
Zhuang Chengyuan pointed to the military rations on the rice bag and said to Director Yan: "Director Yan, do you think everyone who is holding the military rations in their hands wants to replace this bag?"
Director Yan looked at the rice bag and said: "You mean to check this rice bag? But how to check this? It is estimated that by the time we see the rice bag, we don't know where the food in this bag has gone. What's wrong with this?"
use?"
Zhuang Chengyuan said helplessly: "Apart from this, does Director Yan have any other good ideas?"
Director Yan thought for a moment and said: "It is said that being an official thousands of miles away is just for money. I think the other party is also for money. So the other party must have someone to collect money. As long as you find this person, follow the clues!"
Compared with those grain stores and the bosses behind them, the people in the middle who collect money may be the weakest link!
Zhuang Chengyuan said: "What does Director Yan mean?"
Director Yan said: "Such a large amount of grain. Maybe not all of it has been converted into money yet, but it is impossible to bring such a large amount of money with you, right? Ordinary small banks and small money shops can't do it either."
Zhuang Chengyuan originally thought that Director Yan had any good ideas. Would those big bankers listen to him? This was simply impossible.
Of course Director Yan also knows that this matter is not easy, but he is just talking about it. As for whether it can be done, he doesn't care.
Director Yan said: "There are several people like Wang Zhenfu in Beiping City. Would you like to make an appointment to meet us? Maybe we can hear some good news?"
Anyway, there are no clues at this time. Zhuang Chengyuan just wants to meet him, which is much better than running around like a headless fly.
Zhuang Chengyuan said: "Then I'll trouble Director Yan."
Director Yan said it was not troublesome at all, but in fact he had other ideas in mind. People like Wang Zhenfu rely on someone to protect them. The money they earn is not given to themselves at all. It is just a matter of taking advantage of this.
Give it a tap.
At this time, Wang Zhenfu finally ran back to the place where he hid the money. After handing the money to Wang Wenwu's guard, he took out a key and handed it to the guard. He said, "All the money I paid for selling grain is here. As for
This key, this is the key to the warehouse. All the food in my hand is here. Tell you, Lord Wu, that I owe all my share to Lord Wu!"
Wang Wenwu's guard took all these things away unceremoniously and said to Wang Zhenfu: "Master Wang, we have written down everything you said. Is there anything else you want me to say to our master?"
Wang Zhenfu said with a smile: "Your master is born to do this business, why do you need me to give instructions? Your master knows it very well!
I have to go to the next place, so I won’t stay any longer. Goodbye.”
After saying this, Wang Zhenfu bowed his hands and said hello to Wang Wenwu's guard and left the yard. The guard led by Wang Wenwu gave the man in charge a look. The man immediately followed him out.
Wang Wenwu was still sitting in the same place where he met Wang Zhenfu. When Wang Wenwu saw the money and the key, he said, "Do you know where the man named Wang is hiding now?"
The guard said: "Our people have followed him and are still wandering around the city. We still don't know where to hide to find him."
Wang Wenwu asked: "Then he was on the road. Did he see anyone?"
The guard shook his head and said: "When I came back, he had been wandering around the city and hadn't seen anyone. But this time the matter of military rations was indeed going to cause a big fuss.
In addition to the shopkeepers of the grain stores mentioned by Wang, there were also shopkeepers from several other stores. They were all arrested, and I heard that they were all arrested by the army at night. They have not come back yet.
Woolen cloth!"
Wang Wenwu continued to ask: "Have you seen whether the shopkeepers' families are in a hurry?"
The guard said: "I didn't have time to ask about this, but it seems that the grain store is still open as usual. It's like nothing happened. But behind the grain store, where are the bags of grain being transported from the grain store to the outside?"
Wang Wenwu said: "Is there the word "military ration" written on the rice bag?
The guard said: "The police have sealed off the back, and they stood far away so they couldn't see clearly!
Sir, the owner behind this grain store paid real money, and just let the army transport it away like this?"
】
Wang Wenwu said: "If we don't let the army transport it away, what else can we do? How can those bosses be afraid of the army? I guess they didn't even change the rice bags and just sold them outside.
If someone from the army finds out, will it really cost them their lives? But it’s different for us little shrimps, we will definitely be dragged out for target practice! So we’d better be careful.”
When Wang Wenwu saw the guards under him, he understood what he meant. As long as Wang Zhenfu was still in front of him, he didn't have to worry. He had to go back to the unit quickly to see if there was any latest news?
But I didn’t hear any news at work that the shopkeeper of the grain store had been arrested. It was just news that some parents had petty stories about. Who was who? Which concubine did you marry yesterday? Who was who? How much money did you lose in the gambling house yesterday?
Wang Wenwu was planning to find some people at the same level to find out if there was any latest news in the city of Beiping. However, the new secretary of the director came to Wang Wenwu and said that the new director wanted to see Wang Wenwu for something.
Wang Wenwu was confused now. He was just a small official. Even if there was any order, wouldn't it be conveyed to his superiors first? Besides, he was not familiar with the director.
