Qin Huaidao seriously warned Xue Rengui: "Today there are more than 400 people pulling coal, and from now on they will all be our own. Qinjiazhuang can no longer accommodate us. Fortunately, Baiqisi agreed to stay for about ten days, and we must move after ten days."
Let’s go, it’s too late to build a house. It’s okay to hire more manpower and work all night to build a warehouse. Let Uncle Jia and Mr. Huang discuss it and build it near the pile of stones.”
"A warehouse may not be able to accommodate four hundred people." Xue Rengui reminded.
More than four hundred people are quite a lot, and a large warehouse is needed. Qin Huaidao thought of the military camp where he had slept before, and said: "Let's make a big shop and put it in ten rows. Counting twenty people in each row, ten rows are two hundred people, with two floors.
That’s four hundred people. Each person’s width is 1.2 meters. Each row needs to be 12 meters wide. Each row is 2 meters long. Ten rows are 20 meters. Adding a few passages is about 10 meters, and the length is 30 meters.
meters, just build a warehouse thirty meters long and fifteen meters wide, and open a few more doors in the front and back for easy access."
"Young Master, you are so fast in calculation, are you proficient in arithmetic?" Xue Rengui asked in surprise.
"Understand a little!"
Xue Rengui asked excitedly: "Maybe you can teach me? Xue is a little behind in his studies."
"No problem, I'll teach you when I have time." Qin Huaidao agreed, thinking that more than 200 people would join later, and added: "Tell Uncle Jia that if you don't have enough manpower, you can find someone from outside the village and pay twenty cents a day.
, lunch included, two rooms built, must be done quickly.”
"Remember, young master, please rest assured." Xue Rengui quickly agreed.
"Let's go in and have a look." Qin Huaidao was very curious about the sales and walked towards the shop.
After some inquiry, he found that more than 5,000 pills were sold, which is more than 10,000 taels of silver. Qin Huaidao handed Xue Rengui a list of points and told him: "Give the money to the people on the list. I bought them last night."
I haven’t paid for the cart of goods yet, so I’ll take the rest back to the village.”
"I understand, let's go now." Xue Rengui agreed.
Qin Huaidao left and hurried to a sealed rice shop not far away. There were guards guarding the door. There were people watching nearby, talking quietly about something. A guard came forward and whispered behind the luggage: "Sir, something happened.
Captain Cheng just left and went in a different direction from Sir, so we shouldn’t have bumped into each other, right?"
"No, what happened?" Qin Huaidao's heart skipped a beat.
"The shopkeeper committed suicide," the palace guard said quickly.
The palace guard explained with a depressed look: "My subordinates don't know. It was fine at first, but later a lot of onlookers came, clamoring to buy rice. After a few quarrels, some people scolded the shopkeeper for damning, and they dispersed soon after.
, Later, the shopkeeper committed suicide. His subordinates were incompetent and did not take good care of the prisoner. Please punish him."
"This matter has nothing to do with you." Qin Huaidao comforted him. Some people were making trouble and scolding the shopkeeper. The story behind this is intriguing. They should be sent by grain merchants or people behind the scenes to deliver messages to the shopkeeper in disguise. For some reason, the shopkeeper
I had to commit suicide, what a cruel method.
Qin Huaidao said a few words and hurried back to the Supervisory Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Cheng Chumo walking around anxiously and asked, "Why are you panicking?"
"Sir, something happened." Cheng Chumo hurriedly came up to him, looked around and whispered: "The three grain merchants are all dead. One died at home, stabbed in the heart with a knife, and the other died on the carriage going home.
One was strangled to death, the other died in a restaurant, the one who was poisoned, and three shopkeepers who had gone to collect grain also committed suicide. These three people belonged to three different grain merchants."
"We are a step too late." Qin Huaidao's expression changed, and he realized that he still underestimated the viciousness and viciousness of some people. This was to silence them. Once the grain dealer died, he would not be able to continue to investigate, and he would not be able to involve more people.
The shopkeeper responsible for going to Beitaicang to collect grain died, and there was no evidence of his death.
This is to sacrifice the car to save the handsome man, so ruthless and decisive!
"Have the three grain merchants been sealed up?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"Seized. Yuchi Baolin is watching."
"Let's go and take a look." Qin Huaidao walked out with a cold face.
Cheng Chumo quickly followed and said: "Brother, once a person dies, the consequences will be serious. Without an explanation, someone will definitely jump out and say that we are forcing the grain merchants to death, and the Supervisory Office will be passive."
"Don't panic, I want to see who jumps out and go to the family who died at home first." Qin Huaidao looked cold and solemn.
The two hurried on and soon came to a house. There were several guards guarding the door, and a plaque hung above the door with two big words - Shen Mansion.
Shen Sanshi, one of the three major grain merchants in Chang'an City, no one knows how he started his business. In the year of Zhenguan, he suddenly appeared and opened ten grain shops in the East Market and West Market. This house used to be occupied by the fourth rank of the former dynasty.
The senior official was beheaded, but somehow he fell into the hands of Shen Sanshi.
Qin Huaidao walked up quickly and entered the gate. In front was a garden with rockeries and a pavilion. On both sides were wind and rain corridors. Beyond that was a row of halls and two courtyards behind. Cheng Chumo caught up and whispered: "
The people are under centralized custody, and Shen Sanshi is in the study."
"Have you asked?"
Cheng Chumo hurriedly said: "After asking, my family said that it was normal during the meal. After the meal, I went to the study to sort out the accounts. If our people hadn't come over and didn't know that they had been killed, there would be no clues about the murderer."
The two hurriedly came to the study room in the second courtyard. There were guards guarding the door. When they opened the door, a smell of blood wafted out. There was a person sitting on a chair, with his back leaning on the chair, his head drooped, and his eyes wide open.
, with a short knife stuck in his heart, Cheng Chumo explained: "Sir, it was like this when the brothers came, no one has touched it."
Qin Huaidao stepped forward and looked at the other party's eyes. Although they were ashen and could not see any emotion, Qin Huaidao intuitively told him that the other party was shocked before he died. After observing the scene for a moment, he whispered: "There were no signs of fighting at the scene. It should be that someone familiar suddenly suddenly
Take action, kill with one blow, go and see your family."
Cheng Chumo chased him out and said, "It's also possible that the master behind Shen Sanshi discovered that the matter was exposed and arranged for someone to infiltrate. This person should be familiar with Shen Mansion and Shen Sanshi, so he easily approached and attacked at close range."
"You'll find out after you check it out."
The two people walked forward in a hurry and came to a hall. There were guards guarding the door. When they saw the two people approaching, they quickly saluted. One person opened the door and revealed that there were people packed inside. Each of them looked frightened, and the child was held in his hands.
, still ignorant, looked at the people who came in curiously.
Qin Huaidao glanced at everyone and asked, "Who is Mrs. Shen?"
A woman stood up and saluted, with a flustered face: "Ms. Wu, the daughter of the people, has seen your Excellency."
"Bring it here." Qin Huaidao glanced at Cheng Chumo and walked towards the side room. He opened the door and saw that it was a reception room. He went forward and found a seat to sit down. He asked the Wu family who was escorted in bluntly: "Do you know Shen Sanshi?" Why were you killed?"
"The daughter of the common people doesn't know that the master's external affairs never let the family get involved or talk about it."
"Who has been to the house today?"
"Sir, there is no one!"
Qin Huaidao stared at the other party coldly and suddenly shouted: "You are lying."
"No, civilian girls don't dare!" Mrs. Wu knelt down with a thud, her face frightened.
Qin Huaidao saw that there were no clues about the deception. The other party's expression did not look like he was lying, but he was unwilling to give in and asked: "Who else can enter Shen Sanshi's study?"
"No one can go in except the master. Three years ago, my daughter accidentally broke in when she was playing. She was beaten and lay there for three days. Damn it, even my daughter was able to hit her hard. No one dared to do it after that. go."
The fact that no one went in meant that someone from outside could only break in secretly. Qin Huaidao looked at Wu and thinking about it, but he always felt that something was wrong.
