The two of them were sweating profusely, their hearts were pounding, and they felt very uncomfortable.
Both of them live in Beihai County, and they are surrounded by neighbors. They live deep in the alley, and you can even know how many vegetables their family bought today.
They had previously accompanied Fang Xiancheng at Longchi Pier. Although there were many businessmen and long-term workers there, and the personnel were complicated, if it really needed to be divided, there were still many long-term workers who obeyed Bai Shan's orders.
Not to mention the nearby villagers who set up stalls to sell food. As long as you are asking questions from the county government, if they ask a question, these people can enthusiastically give you answers to several questions.
As long as they have been in contact with someone who is interested, it is only a matter of time before Bai Shan can find out whether they believe it or not.
And Bai Shan is rich now, and other salt officials from the governor's office have recently come to his door to buy salt, so he is not panic at all and has plenty of time to play with them.
He waved his hand and said: "Send the person back to prison."
The officer pushed the person down.
Lieutenant Dong Xian watched them leave and shook his head. He felt that it was too hard for them to think about it. Now Beihai County was different from the past. They could still follow Fang Xian Cheng to Longchi and come into contact with such secrets. Obviously they were very impressed by Fang.
Trusted by the county magistrate.
Their contribution will be indispensable for the future construction of Longchi Pier. Promotion is just around the corner, but I don’t know why I have to think so hard about it.
Lieutenant Dong County quickly found out the clues, "...Here in the county, the neighbors on both sides said that the two families have been eating meat more often than before, and the Sun family also bought new clothes last month."
If it’s not the New Year or the festival, who can make new clothes?
Oh, except for wealthy families like the county magistrate, even high-ranking officials like him and Fang County Cheng rarely buy new clothes for their families, let alone petty officials like the two of them.
"Have you asked them about the source of their family's money?"
Dong Xianwei paused and then said: "After asking, my family members all said that the two of them made a little money by taking advantage of the convenience of the dock in Longchi."
Bai Shan was very curious, "How much is one point?"
"One hundred thousand dollars."
Bai Shan clicked his tongue twice, "Where's the capital?"
Lieutenant Dong Xian shook his head.
Bai Shan snorted and said: "Longchi Pier makes money, but even a hen that can lay golden eggs has to be fed. Only when it is fed can it lay golden eggs. If they don't take the capital, how can they get it?"
profit?"
"Is there no one in their family who suspects it?"
Lieutenant Dong County nodded, "No one doubts that they are accustomed to not asking about their affairs outside."
"That's all, where is the Longchi Pier?"
"After checking, it was found that a businessman from out of town found them and had breakfast together. The man had left by boat half a month ago, but..."
Seeing that he stopped talking, Bai Shan asked, "But what?"
"But it's strange. When I checked his origin, I found that he came to Beihai County on the eighth day of May, left on the eleventh day, but didn't arrive in Longchi until the fifteenth day."
Bai Shan sat up straight and his face darkened, "There were four days in total. It took one day to get from the county seat to Longchi Dingtian. Where did he go in the remaining three days?"
Lieutenant Dong Xian shook his head, "I have sent someone to investigate along the way, but there is no news yet."
He paused and then said: "Sir, Beihai County is different from the past. In the past, there were few people on the official road. The villagers along the road paid more attention to whoever passed by. In addition, by looking at the traces on the road, they could more or less tell where they were going. Now there are many people coming and going.
There are too many business travelers, and some villagers don't recognize people. They are all the same, so I'm afraid they won't be able to recognize them."
Bai Shan thought for a while and then said: "Always ask the villagers at the forks along the official road. They have not gone to Longchi in three days. They must have gone elsewhere. There are many business travelers, but most of them just go
There is an official road from Longchi to the county seat, so if someone changes the road, it will definitely attract attention."
When Lieutenant Dong County heard this, he immediately looked in this direction.
Two days later, he happily ran back to Bai Shan and said, "Sir, I found him. Where do you think he went?"
Bai Shan didn't guess and asked directly: "Where?"
Lieutenant Dong County thinks he is not interesting at all. Can you give me a guess?
But he still said: "He went to Shunping Village."
Bai Shan was puzzled, "Why did he go to Shunping Village?"
Lieutenant Dong lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "You must not have guessed that he went to see Aunt Qi."
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows. He always had a good memory. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "The fish finally came out."
"But it can't be seen on the surface. I asked the people at Zhuangzi carefully. The merchant said that he was passing through Qizhou and was entrusted by Mrs. Qi's husband's family to deliver a letter to her. Then he stayed at Guantian Zhuangzi for an extra day before leaving.
.”
Bai Shan was thoughtful and asked, "What has Aunt Qi done recently?"
Lieutenant Dong Xian was speechless, "She...she is getting married."
Bai Shan's eyes widened, "With whom?"
"Zhu Liulang." Since Lieutenant Dong went to check, he naturally wanted to check clearly and clearly. Especially Aunt Qi's place is quite special. She behaved very abnormally when she appeared, so Guantian Zhuangzi has always been...
Staring at her.
Zhou Man seemed to smell the gossip, brought a bowl of noodles from the dining room, and called to County Lieutenant Dong, "County Dong, have you had lunch? Do you want to eat some together?"
Lieutenant Dong Xian smiled and refused.
Bai Shan glanced at Zhou Man, who was holding a meal, and simply stood up, patted County Lieutenant Dong on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and eat some, and we'll talk while we eat."
His immediate superiors had said so, so Lieutenant Dong Xian naturally had to follow him.
The kitchen brought two more bowls of noodles and a few dishes of side dishes. Lieutenant Dong Xian ate and talked while Zhou Man and Bai Shan listened.
"When Aunt Qi first entered Guantian Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, she was quite popular, especially among the Zhu brothers. One of them, Zhu Erlang, was a widower with a son, so those brothers in the Zhuangzi liked to be matchmakers.
An aunt just wanted to introduce them together." Dong Xianwei said: "Zhu Erlang also carried water for Aunt Qi for a while and helped her with the work for several days, but later because she said she would not get married again, he
He wanted to stay with his daughter, so Zhu Erlang stopped going, and many young people in Zhuangzi also stopped going."
Bai Shan nodded and asked, "What then?"
"Because Mr. Zhou promised that their mother and daughter could go to Yushan Hall to learn weaving and embroidery, so they would go to Yushan Hall for a long time last year, but..." Dong Xianwei said: "The mother and daughter are in Yushan Hall.
None of them have any talent in this area, and they gave up after studying for a while.”
It should be said that he has no talent.
This was something that surprised Lieutenant Dong. He felt that as women, they were good at sewing and mending, but according to his investigation, Aunt Qi and her daughter were worthy of being mother and daughter, and they had no talent at all in this area.
Anyway, they can no longer study, so they can only work conscientiously and diligently in the official farm.
"Because they no longer go to Yushitai to study, they were assigned to Shunping Village in November last year," County Lieutenant Dong coughed lightly as he said this, "Then the Zhu family and his group were also assigned here.
.”
"Because there are less things to do in winter, Zhu Liulang and Qi Auntie are divided into one group. Anyway, they are talking about getting married now."
