Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 411 Take a walk.

Bao Zheng seemed to see Hwarang's confusion, so he quickly said: "The account book clearly states how many inkstones they dug out and how many inkstones they made. Some inkstones can carve two inkstones. Some of them are one piece, but after careful deliberation, I feel that there is a discrepancy among them. Some inkstones are very large, at least three or four pieces can be carved, why are there only two pieces at most? After the stone was dug out, it was not recorded in the book, but it was hidden?"

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, Hua Lang already understood, so he asked, "Then what does Brother Bao mean?"

Bao Zheng smiled lightly: "Please Brother Hua and others to follow me tomorrow, I want to go to that place for field investigation."

Hua Lang nodded slightly: "Brother Bao, as the magistrate of Duanzhou, should really go and have a look, but if you just walk around and take a look like this, can you get the clue?"

Bao Zheng shook his head: "It's just a pretense to take a look, it's up to Brother Hua how to determine what things will happen then!"

Hwarang was a little puzzled, and continued to ask, "What should I do?"

Bao Zheng smiled again, and said: "Tomorrow I will go to the barracks of the soldiers, and I will ask them to call all the people, and I will hold them back, while you and Yin Wucuo, Wen Meng, and the others will send those soldiers away." It should be extremely easy to search the tents of the commanders of the soldiers and those who are waiting."

After listening to Bao Zheng's words, Yin Wucuo, Wen Meng and the others looked a little ugly. It would be too risky to ask them to search in the barracks of Xiangbing. Bao Zheng is the magistrate of Duanzhou, so the next order will be fine. up?

Bao Zheng seemed to have noticed the hesitation of the crowd, so he quickly asked: "Why, do you think this method won't work?"

Hwarang scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "It's clear, but if we don't find anything, it will be a little troublesome."

Bao Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "Why can't we find out?"

Hwarang found a chair and sat down, and said: "Those commanders are not stupid, how could they be so stupid as to hide a big rock in their camp, they must be hiding nearby , and then waited for the right opportunity to pull it away or make a move, we went to the barracks, even if it was an open search, it would be impossible to search for those inkstones."

After listening to Hwarang's words, Bao Zheng suddenly felt enlightened, he stood up from his chair suddenly, and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Hualang thought for a while, and said: "It's actually simple, as long as those who hide the inkstone can take out the inkstone by themselves."

"But can they take it out themselves?"

Hwarang smiled: "If you order them to take it out, they won't take it, but if you use other methods, they won't be able to let it go."

So, after some discussion, we decided to go to the Xiangbing Barracks tomorrow morning.

Silent all night.

The next day, the autumn wind was strong, and the pedestrians on the street tightened their clothes when they walked, for fear of being blown in by the wind. Early in the morning, Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and the others marched toward the Xiangbing barracks.

Xiang Bing's barracks was in a valley about [-] miles outside Duanzhou City. Inkstones were abundant in that valley, and that place was also the place where tribute inkstones were mined as stipulated by the imperial court. Normally, the common people were absolutely not allowed to approach them.

The place was huge, but there were few trees, and the mountains and plains were full of stones and deep ravines. It was almost noon when Bao Zheng and his party arrived at the barracks. After they reported their names and positions, a soldier Then he hurried back to report, not long after, You Dan strode out to meet him.

That You Dan is tall and tall, with a beard on his face, which does not match his name. His name gives people the feeling that he should be a relatively simple and elegant person. After seeing the face, it is obviously not the case.

That You Dan stepped forward, bowed to Bao Zheng, and then asked, "I don't know why Mr. Bao has time to come to this valley?"

You Dan spoke very straightforwardly, so Bao Zheng was a little embarrassed for a while, but Bao Zheng was Bao Zheng after all, he just smiled lightly and said: "A few days ago Commander You said that the matter of Gong Yan was almost ready. Let's check it out and see if there are any problems."

Hearing this, You Dan didn't doubt it, and said: "Since that's the case, please come with me Master Bao, those craftsmen are doing the final carving." You Dan walked away in big strides as he spoke, and after a while, the leader Bao Zheng and the others went to a relatively open place, which was surrounded by Xiang soldiers, and there were ten or twenty tents, large and small. There is a master craftsman, of course, some craftsmen came with their apprentices, there are about 21 tents here, these days I asked them to work hard, so as not to delay the time for paying tribute."

Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and the others looked at these tents, and then Bao Zheng said: "It looks like they are indeed very hardworking, but Commander You is not afraid that they will secretly take the inkstone away?"

After listening to Bao Zheng's words, You Dan suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Your Majesty Bao is too worried, I am surrounded by side soldiers guarding me, and it is convenient for them to take them away, and they will not leave the sight of these side soldiers."

Hearing You Dan's words, Bao Zheng smiled lightly and said: "It's not certain, let me go in and have a look, you wait outside."

You Dan was about to go in with Bao Zheng, but after hearing this sentence, he stopped suddenly, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.Because he did not expect that Bao Zheng would not let him go in with him.

It took about half a stick of incense for Bao Zheng to go in. Everyone was waiting outside anxiously, but when everyone was waiting impatiently, they suddenly heard Bao Zheng sternly scolded inside: "Say, hide the inkstone in the Where?"

When everyone heard this, they could still wait outside, so they rushed into the tent one after another. After rushing into the tent, they saw one old and one young kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, while Bao Zheng had an angry expression on his face, as if he wished he could After killing the two people in front of him, You Dan saw this scene, and then thought of what Bao Zheng said just now, he immediately understood what was going on. Zheng stopped shouting, and only heard Bao Zheng say: "Commander You, it's useless to beat them, let's find the inkstone first."

You Dan is a general, he doesn't like to think too much, at this time he didn't think about how Bao Zheng found out that the two men had hidden the inkstone, after repeated promises, he rushed out of the tent and called the generals in the camp, big and small. Come.

When all the generals came to You Dan's camp, they didn't understand what happened, but they knew You Dan's temper, so they didn't dare to ask, they just waited for You Dan to tell.
