Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 380 The Appearance of Chen Chen.

After leaving Zhang's mansion, two days have passed, and there has been no movement in Duanzhou City.

The inspection at the city gate was even stricter, and only one gate was allowed to enter and exit every day, and the other gates were only allowed to enter and not to exit.

But the interrogation of the city gate did not yield any results.

But two days later, the news came again suddenly.

It was reported by one of Ma Han's subordinates. He said that he had seen Chen Chen in the west city of Duanzhou.

After hearing the news, Ma Han immediately said: "The west side is my territory, I will take people to find him."

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, and said: "It's best if it's so natural, but do you have enough manpower? If not, send more people there. As long as you find Chen Chen, the case will be much easier to handle."

Ma Han felt that Bao Zheng was thinking very well, so he asked Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to follow him to the West City. After they left, Bao Zheng glanced at Hua Lang and asked, "Brother Hua, do you feel that this matter?" Weird?"

Hwarang smiled faintly: "It seems that Brother Bao has discovered something strange!"

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, why did we send people to monitor the Lu Mansion and Zhang Mansion in the East City, then Chen Chen soon appeared in the West City, do you have the intention of diverting the tiger away from the mountain?"

Hualang smiled: "What Brother Bao said is true, he really meant to turn the tiger away from the mountain, so should we focus on the Lu Mansion and Zhang Mansion in the East City now?"

Bao Zheng shook his head: "Let's do the trick!"

When the two said this, although the people next to them could understand, they always felt that the style of their speech was weird.

Ma Han took the two brothers Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and a group of arrests to the west city to look for Chen Chen, while the dynasty continued to monitor the situation of Lu's and Zhang's houses.

But there was no difference between the two mansions, except that Zhang Sanyin of the Zhang Mansion hurriedly left home in a carriage before the evening of that day. Seeing this, Ma Han quickly sent someone to report to Bao Zheng, and sent another person to follow Zhang Sanyin.

Not long after Zhang Sanyin left, a carriage also appeared in the Lu residence. After the carriage left the Lu residence, it wandered aimlessly around Duanzhou City until late at night before the carriage came back.

The followers came back and reported that Zhang's carriage and Lu's carriage went to the carriage rental place in Duanzhou City. There are a lot of horses in the place, and this kind of additional business naturally exists, so it seems that there is nothing strange about all this.

After the follower finished speaking, Bao Zheng didn't think there was anything suspicious about this matter, but Hua Lang frowned, as if there were many things he couldn't figure out.

So when it got dark, Ma Han also brought people back, but unfortunately, they did not find Chen Chen's whereabouts.

At this time, Hwarang was still thinking.

It was probably late at night before they went back to rest.

The next day, no one saw any trace of Chen Chen.

It's just that after Hualang woke up the next day, he hurriedly gathered his troops and rushed to Lu's residence again.

Seeing that Hua Lang was in such a hurry, Bao Zheng asked a little puzzled, "Did Brother Hua discover something?"

Hwarang nodded: "We were all deceived by Lu Shui and Zhang Sanyin."

Everyone hurried on their way, but they didn't understand how they were cheated.

Hualang explained as he walked: "Didn't Lu Shui say that he sold his own coal to Zhang Sanyin? We went to see the coal in Zhang's house, and it was true that Lu Shui bought as much coal as Lu Shui, so we thought that Lu Shui really sold the coal he bought. All the coal was sold to Zhang Sanyin, but it was not the case. I thought they would attract attention if they bought so much coal. A place to go."

Everyone understands this, but they don't understand how they were cheated.

At this time, Hua Lang continued to explain: "It is true that Lu Shui bought as much coal in Zhang's house now, but if there was coal in Zhang's and Lu's houses before, wouldn't they just buy it in this way?" Offset the coal used?"

After listening to it, everyone was surprised and annoyed. This is an extremely simple truth, but why didn't they think of it when they first went to Lu's Zhang's mansion?

Both of them are big families, so how could they not stockpile coal? Even if they didn't stockpile, when they were about to loot the state government, they should have thought of smelting silver, and naturally they were ready before that.

Everyone hurried to the Lu residence, and rushed in without any explanation. When they rushed in, the servants of the Lu residence were cleaning the courtyard. Lu Shui hadn't gotten up yet, but when Hua Lang and the others rushed in, Lu Shui didn't get up , also had to rush out.

Lu Shui ran out in disheveled clothes, and asked, "Master Bao has come here once, and didn't find anything, why are you here again today?"

Bao Zheng snorted coldly, and said: "Well, Lu Shui, you dare to play tricks with me, and I will never let you go lightly." Saying so, Bao Zheng made a gesture, and all the arresters he brought Soon, they began to search up and down the Lu Mansion again.

At this time, Lu Shui was very relaxed, much more relaxed than when Bao Zheng and the others came here for the first time, as if he believed that Bao Zheng and the others would not be able to find out anything.

The Lu Mansion is not too big, but it's not small either. Hualang and Yin Wucuo were strolling in the backyard of the Lu Mansion. At this time, the flowers and plants in a part of the backyard were growing lushly, but at noon, they were about to droop. up.

There didn't seem to be anything suspicious in the backyard, but when Hwarang was walking, he saw something dark on the ground, and when he leaned over to look carefully, he realized it was coal.

There used to be coal in this place, and that would be really strange.

So Hwarang asked a group of yamen servants to search the entire backyard and dig the ground three feet, but they didn't dig three feet, so they found a tunnel under a bluestone slab, and the tunnel started from the bluestone slab in the backyard , directly leading to the ground, the area is about one mu of land.

When Lu Shui saw that the tunnel was discovered, he was startled, but he remained calm. At this time, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and a group of arresting officers had already surrounded him.

At this time, Hua Lang and Bao Zheng were descending from the bluestone slab, the ground became wider and wider, and the heat became hotter as they went down. After they walked through the stone stairs, they finally came to a flat After they saw this place, they were immediately surprised, just like when they saw those weapons in Luojia Manor.

Here, they saw a large furnace. The furnace was no longer burning, but it was still faintly hot. The leftover coal was quietly piled aside. Through the light of the fire, they could still see the residual fire on the ground.
