At this time, Chief Luo was staring at him motionless, as if he had guessed that he would look back.
Xiao Ancheng glanced at the door again to confirm that everyone had left, and then slowly walked to Commander Luo.
He said softly: "Sir, I have always been confused. I have been like this since I was poisoned. Therefore, no matter what I say, it is unreasonable, even nonsense!"
Chief Luo slowly stood up, stared at him, and said softly: "Mr. Xiao, I know you have been severely poisoned! So, no matter what you say, I will treat it as nonsense! I just need to listen, I don't
You need to tell others!”
Xiao Ancheng couldn't help but smile at him. Talking to a wise man always made him happy!
"Sir, I'm just saying nonsense. There may be real money here in Changsha!" he said softly.
"Mr. Xiao, do you have any basis? For example, a reason for you to think so! Do you have any?" Officer Luo's voice was very low, but he spoke extremely seriously!
"Sir, the Hunan Provincial Bank once printed a large number of two-cent notes, about two hundred thousand, which was a large batch, but it disappeared unexpectedly! No one knows the whereabouts of those two-cent notes! Sir, that was
That’s a lot of money! I don’t believe it was stolen! Such a large amount, even if it was stolen, it would take a lot of manpower!”
"You mean, these two-cent notes may be together with the silver?" Chief Luo looked at him in shock!
"Sir, if you think about it, these two things are in large quantities! They cannot be moved by one or two people! So, if you can find two cents, you may be able to find some silver!"
"You're right! What else is there! Tell me everything!"
"Secondly, in history, Hunan Provincial Bank has experienced wars and repeated turmoil, and has closed down many times! There are indeed loopholes where money can be lost! This is the last thing I can say!"
"You're right! What else is there!"
"Sir, find Yan Boling as soon as possible! Only he knows where the money is!"
"He hid it?"
"No! He can't hide hundreds of thousands of taels of silver by himself! I feel that it is really possible that he has been forgotten! I just said that the Hunan Provincial Bank has closed down many times in history, and has even been criticized.
There have been robberies! People have been dispersed many times! Some important things have been forgotten, it is possible!"
"I understand! I will definitely look for Yan Boling quietly! I will definitely find him!"
"Sir, the most important thing is that you have to think about what to do after you find the money! You can't hide so much money! It will definitely be known! Sir, you can't cause trouble for yourself! You have to think about how to deal with it.
way!"
"I understand, I understand! Thank you, Mr. Xiao!"
"Sir, you're welcome. That's all I want to say! Sir, I'm leaving."
17-27
That afternoon, Luo Bingli, the commander-in-chief of the Changsha Security Command, contacted all senior officials with great fanfare. He said that if silver is found in the ruins of the vassal treasury, and the amount is huge, on the one hand, all parties should be invited to supervise, and on the other hand,
We need to discuss a solution with all parties! Wait!
He would always add at the end, "I don't know if it's true or not, but it's said to be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! It's a huge amount!"
This sentence is the most attractive! Even Confucius would be moved when he heard it!
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, an almost exaggerated spectacle appeared in the ruins of the former Chief Envoy's Yamen!
First of all, the soldiers from the Changsha Security Command surrounded the area tightly and no one was allowed to approach!
Secondly, the soldiers built a mat shed in the ruins, with tables and chairs placed under the shed. Representatives from all parties who came to participate in the supervision sat under the mat shed, drank tea, chatted, and watched the excavation.
The representative sent by the theater headquarters was indeed Gui Longhai. A section chief came from the Municipal Finance Bureau. A section chief came from the Municipal Police. He was Section Chief Li Yinglong from the Criminal Investigation Division. The Municipal Construction Committee was the most solemn, and the chairman
Chu Kuncheng was present in person!
People from the Dongqing National Martial Arts Museum are only allowed to watch on the north side of this area, because that is the area they are responsible for!
Hongmen in Chongqing has the largest population, occupying the other three sides of this small area.
People in these two fields are all holding up their fists and staring! They mainly stare, they just want to see if they can dig out money from here! This is the key!
Only ten people from Hongmen were allowed to enter and dig here. Du Wancai wanted to go in and have a look.
But Lian Guozhang stopped him and said, "If you want to go in, there are only eleven people, so you can't!"
Du Wancai had no choice but to wave and call someone out, and then he was able to enter!
Qiantou of the Dongqing National Martial Arts Hall, along with one of his subordinates, was also allowed to enter, but he could only watch, not speak or take action!
At five minutes after four o'clock, the so-called basement of the feudal treasury finally began to be excavated again!
17-28
By this time, the walls, roofs, and even trees around the former Chief Envoy's Yamen were crowded with countless people! They were all watching eagerly. Although they could not get anything, they could not get anything.
It’s quite exciting to see how the white money is dug out from here!
Du Wancai could clearly see in the ruins, and the excavation work was extremely difficult!
The entrance to the basement was filled with broken bricks, ash, steel bars, iron rods, and charred odd-shaped beams. All these garbage were mixed together, involved with each other, and even solidified together under the action of rain!
The working surface is extremely narrow! Although there are nine people, there are only two working in the entrance of the cave. They have to use their hands to pull the steel bars and pick up the bricks, so that the people behind can shovel the garbage into the basket and transport it out!
Again, the excavation work is extremely difficult!
When we dug until seven o'clock in the evening, it was already dark.
Lian Guozhang came over and said: "Okay, stop everything and continue digging tomorrow!"
Du Wancai wanted to dig a little longer and kept saying, "Sir, you can see it, you can see it!"
Lian Guozhang said: "As soon as it gets dark, you know what will happen! Stop! We will dig again tomorrow!"
After the excavation work stopped, new wonders appeared in the entire ruins. The soldiers, Dongqing Gang, and Hongmen all lit some fires to illuminate and keep warm.
In this season, it's still a bit cool at night.
Looking from a distance, the entire ruins are covered with bonfires, dotted with stars, like the swaying and gorgeous night sky.
17-29
Also that night, Chen Zifeng, Qiao Yanfang and Li San, who were staying in a small hotel outside Xicun Station, sat together to eat their late dinner.
This dinner was a bit weird. They slowly shoveled the rice into their mouths and ate the spicy chicken and vegetarian stir-fried vegetables one bite at a time, but their eyes turned around and stared at each other, as if they didn't recognize each other.
Chen Zifeng finally said: "Li San, say it again!"
Qiao Yanfang first stared, "What's wrong with you! He's already said it three times! What else is there to say!"
Chen Zifeng also stared at her and yelled: "I didn't hear you clearly! What's wrong!"
Li San hurriedly shook the chopsticks in his hand to calm the anger between them, and said: "Xiao Qiao, no problem, no problem, I'll say it again, no problem!"
Chen Zifeng ate his meal without raising his head, "Say!"
Li San didn't need to think anymore, and said: "At half past five, I took a brother to order dinner. I bought it, but he stared around! I was looking at the menu, and the brother behind me quietly poked me!"
"Have you looked back?" Chen Zifeng asked fiercely. In fact, he has asked this question every time, and he still has to ask it now!
"No! No! I just whispered, what's going on? The brother behind me said, across the street, there is a guy wearing a gray shirt, black trousers, and a straw hat. I said, don't stare at him! Just look at him from the corner of your eye!
That brother looked away and kept looking at that guy from the corner of his eye!"
"What happened next?" Chen Zifeng stared at him and asked.
"When I bought the food, the brother behind me said, that guy is gone! Don't look back, he is still looking back! When I came out with the food, the guy had already left! This is the whole story!"
Chen Zifeng continued to eat, but did not speak for a while.
Qiao Yanfang curled her lips and said, "What did you hear? Please tell me!"
Chen Zifeng tilted his head and said, "Damn it, I didn't know when they would start!"
Qiao Yanfang suddenly burst into laughter, "You are a bastard! If you can tell it, the sun will be rising in the west! Unless my brother comes, no one else can tell it!"
"The thief is not here! What do you think I should do? I can only rely on myself! I said, do you hear it?"
"It's such a small process, and you can't hear anything! What do you do?" Qiao Yanfang stared at him with a crooked mouth!
"What can I do! How can I take action if I can't hear it!"
At this time, Qiao Yanfang stopped talking.
She knew very well that the situation in front of her was so weird!
Looking at it now, the Japanese goods must be shipped ashore here! Either north to Changsha, or south to Hengyang and other places! But now, they don’t have any control over the situation, and they can’t decide their next move.
!
Damn it! The Japanese are so stupid, when will they ship the goods!
17-30
Outside West Village Station, inside the warehouse.
Mr. Sato, who was also having dinner, looked at Mr. Aso opposite with a smile and said softly: "Aso-kun, when will your goods be delivered?"
Section Chief Aso raised his head and stared at him, "It should arrive within two days! The day after tomorrow at the latest! What's going on?"
Mr. Sato smiled and said: "I will discuss with you whether it can be delayed one day. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will send someone to take a good look at Nishimura Pier and Nishimura Station. This may be safer. What do you think?"
"Can you tell me the truth about what you want to do?" Section Chief Aso stared at him with doubts!
"It's very simple. I just want to ensure the safety of your goods! This is my only purpose!" Mr. Sato said with a smile.
"By delaying it for one day, you can ensure safety?"
