Chapter 379 Closing the case
Zhao Yuan said: "It's entirely possible, so we still have to find the blacksmith and figure out how many weapons they have created!"
Zhang Sixi said: "Then this case?"
Zhao Yuan said: "Since the gold has been found and the five-color instrument has been found, the case of the escort agency will be settled first, which can also make the enemy think that we may have believed in their layout! In addition, I think the Jinyiwei should strengthen investigation and find ways to find the hidden Japanese pirates, but they must be more careful and cannot alarm the enemy! In addition, I will ask the Beggars' Gang to inquire too!"
Zhang Sixi nodded and said, "Since you are investigating this case, I will leave it to you to deal with it! The batch of colorful instruments dug out are also shipped together. As for those damaged, it is estimated that only the escort agency will compensate. Fortunately, the number is not too large. If the escort agency wants to compensate, this amount of money should be taken out."
After saying that, he ordered the soldiers to load the gold into the car. Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang drove towards the escort agency in person. On the other hand, the colorful instruments that were dug out were also transported to the escort agency from the Jinyiwei.
On the carriage, Cang Wushuang sat next to Zhao Yuan and asked, "Is this case over?"
Zhao Yuan said: "It's true on the surface."
Cang Wushuang said in confusion: "It's true on the surface? Why do you say that?"
Zhao Yuan said: "Just just now, Lord Zhang and I checked it carefully and found that the weapons used by these Japanese pirates were somewhat crude. They were not the swords used by those Japanese pirates we met, and they did not have scabbards. They probably just wrapped them in cloth on weekdays. In addition, there were about twenty-three Japanese pirates who died at the scene, and only twenty or thirty swords. But you have been to the blacksmith shop. How could they forge twenty or thirty swords so simple if they worked overtime? Therefore, Lord Zhang and I felt that there were a large number of Japanese pirates hidden in or near the capital. The reason why they wiped out these Japanese pirates was simply that they didn't want us to notice! By the way, how did those Japanese pirates get in a few years ago?"
A few years ago, when the Japanese pirates attacked the Jinyiwei Zhao Prison, there were still many Japanese pirates at that time, so they caught the Jinyiwei off guard.
Cang Wushuang said, "How could I know? At the beginning, I was just responsible for saving people. Liu Jie was doing this when he was covering up his eyes and attacking the world! You were not brought by him, and even if you sent someone to ask, it would take half a month to come and go at the fastest, so it would be too late. But I vaguely knew that it seemed to be hiding underground!"
Zhao Yuan was puzzled and said, "Hidden underground? Is there any underground secret room in this capital that can hide many people?"
But when I think about it in a blink of an eye, there seems to be no surprise. You must know that this black prison is hidden underground.
Cang Wushuang said: "It's nothing strange! If you want to hide a large number of people, the underground is nothing more than the best, and it won't be exposed!"
"etc!"
Zhao Yuan interrupted Cang Wushuang and said, "It is not that it will not be exposed. Even if these are hidden underground, they need to eat, drink, defecate and sensation. The most important thing is to eat, drink, and that requires a lot of food. So isn't it a way to ask the Jinyiwei to thoroughly check if there is any abnormality in purchasing grain?"
Cang Wushuang said, "You all know that it is not ruled out that the other party has noticed this long ago. If they had planned it, they would have stockpiled up the food and there would be no way to investigate it. But this is not a loss. You can let the Jinyiwei and the Beggars' Sect try it."
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "First solve the matter at hand, and then I will go to the Beggars' Sect again!"
Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang came to the escort agency with Huang Jin. After Lin Qian received the report, she immediately came out. When she saw the box, she said, "Sir, is this?"
Zhao Yuan patted the box and said, "This is the lost batch of gold. You have found it. You can find it if you want to see enough. As for the batch of colorful devices, you also found it, but it has been damaged. Now you send someone to invite the two shopkeepers. This matter has to be discussed face to face!"
Lin Qian was overjoyed and said, "Caomin immediately sends someone to invite them! Sir, please invite them inside!"
Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang entered the house, and Lin Qian immediately asked someone to serve tea and said, "Sir, wise, I found the stolen gold in just a few days!"
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "It's all thanks to friends' help. By the way, you can ask for a little bit to see if the number is enough!"
Lin Qian nodded and immediately asked the accountant to weigh it lightly. After a while, the accountant said, "If you want to reply to the chief e-mail, you will have a total of 3,000 taels, no difference!"
As soon as the gold matter was resolved, Lin Qian felt relieved. During this period, the five-colored instruments were transported from the Jinyiwei, and the good and bad were installed separately.
Zhao Yuan said: "Gold is not easy to be damaged, but this colorful utensil is porcelain after all, and it was buried underground by the thief. Many of them were broken. Now it can be cleaned up, but only fifty or sixty pieces are fine. According to Manager Huang, these colorful utensils are paired, and in this way, there are very few, and there are probably only more than thirty pieces in pairs. If you want to calm down this matter, you probably will have to compensate the silver escort agency for this goods. At that time, I will also help you to avoid this lion named Huang from speaking out!"
Lin Qian said: "This is also a rule. If the goods transported by the escort agency are damaged or lost, we should compensate according to the original price!"
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Then arrange someone to clean up, and the two shopkeepers are probably coming too!"
Not long after the words were finished, Jiang Yu and Huang Mo arrived here one after another. In their eyes, Lin Qian had the support of the Jinyiwei, and they had not come to cause trouble for Lin Qian during this period. As for whether the case could be solved, they did not dare to ask more. What Huang Mo lost was just a colorful instrument. Although it was of great value, the escort agency could afford it. He was not very worried. However, Jiang Yu's gold of 3,000 taels was an astronomical figure.
The two of them also discussed on the way. This time, they could not let go easily. Even if the Jinyiwei was investigating, they could not use the Jinyiwei to threaten it, and then let the two families suffer this secret loss?
In addition, they had never guessed why the Jinyiwei wanted to help Lin Qian. Could it be that Lin Qian had a relationship with him? You should know that Lin Qian is a married woman.
As soon as they entered the gate of the escort agency, the two saw Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang, looked at each other, and Jiang Yu said, "Everything is done as we had just agreed, and we must not let go this time!"
Huang Mo nodded and said, "Everything will do as you said!"
After the two discussed, they coughed gently, and walked in.
Zhao Yuanjian and the other two looked arrogant and said nothing, pointing to the chair in front of them and said, "Please sit down, two!"
After Jiang Yu and Huang Mo sat down, Jiang Yu took the lead in asking: "Sir, I asked me to wait for the two of them this time. Is it because the case has made progress?"
To a large extent, this was just a casual question, at least they hadn't found the news yet.
Zhao Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Come on!"
The two bodyguards immediately lifted the box up and placed it in front of him. They opened the lid to reveal the neatly arranged gold inside.
Zhao Yuan said: "Shopkeeper Jiang, please dial it to see if there are three thousand taels!"
Manager Jiang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the gold would really appear in front of him. After a while, he realized and said, "Sir, is this really the batch of gold for the grass-roots people?"
Zhao Yuan said: "That is, the thief who robbed gold that night had already been sentenced to death. This batch of gold was found in their nest. The account of the escort agency had previously counted it, which was 3,000 taels. In addition, the gold had been recast and was taken out of the thief's nest. So another meaning of waiting for Manager Jiang to come was to melt a few pieces on site to make sure that there was no problem with the gold. Please!"
In the backyard, the stove was ready at this moment, and several workers were waiting there. Zhao Yuan asked Jiang Yu to choose whatever he wanted and threw it into the furnace. Soon the gold was melted into gold liquid.
Zhao Yuan said: "Shopkeeper Jiang, since you are a bank account, you should be more clear about how to identify gold. Now you can identify it carefully and see how purity this batch of gold is. If the purity is not a problem, then the quantity is lighter. If the quantity is not a problem, then your gold escort agency is also considered safe to transport. Although it is a few days later than the delivery, the escort agency also sacrifices some manpower. How should the shipping cost be calculated or how do you think?"
Jiang Yu didn't expect that his gold would be lost and recovered. He was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "That's of course, that's of course. The grass-roots will send someone to count it immediately!"
Zhao Yuan said again: "There is another thing. After the order is completed, you have to go to the prefect's office and ask the yamen to send people. After all, this case happened in the capital, and the Shuntian Prefecture's office has also prepared a case. You took the gold away, and Shuntian Prefecture doesn't know. If you ask at that time, it's hard to explain!"
Jiang Yu agreed again and arranged for someone to go to the prefect's office.
"Sir, I have found all the gold, where is my batch of goods?"
Huang Mo became a little anxious. Jiang Yu's three thousand taels of gold had been found. The things that the two discussed on the road before were basically useless at this moment. Could it be that Jiang Yu dared to find fault with him when he found gold? He really felt that he could not live long.
Zhao Yuan looked at Huang Mo and said, "Your colorful utensils have also been found, but this porcelain is not as good as gold. It was buried underground by thieves. Many of them have been damaged. Now it is only half of them. For your losses, Mr. Lin is willing to compensate at the price, which is equivalent to buying the porcelain you lost. Now you and Mr. Lin are required to select the types of colorful utensils for the catalog and determine the amount of the loss! But one thing I must explain is that these porcelains must be market prices. After determining the price, I will ask other shopkeepers in the capital to appraise the prices of the goods one by one, and then take an average price as the final price of these goods. You'd better be honest. If you want to take advantage of this opportunity and make a profit, I advise you to give up this idea! If your price is far different, I will never give up on you regardless of who is your backstage!"
There is a saying that there is no businessman but no evil. In fact, when Huang Mo heard that the colorful device was damaged, and Lin Qian was willing to compensate, he began to make a decision in his heart that as long as he raised the price, he could still take the opportunity to make a fortune! But when he heard Zhao Yuan's later words, he felt a little cold. If something really happened to him, no one would rescue him from the Jinyiwei. He hurriedly said: "Sir, please rest assured. The grass-roots must be honest and will never report it indiscriminately!"
Zhao Yuan said: "This is the best, let's start!"
Huang Mo and Lin Qian's people began to lighten the batch of colorful instruments. Zhao Yuanjian was not far from Wu Jin's courtyard this time, so he asked Cang Wushuang to watch here, and he went straight to Wu Jin's courtyard.
After arriving, he received a notice from his servant that Wu Jin was meeting guests, so Zhao Yuan followed the servant to the place where she met. From afar, he saw her sitting face to face with a man and talking. The man was not someone else, but the one he saw in Beihai that day.
Zhao Yuan's appearance surprised Wu Jin. In fact, she was a little struggling in the past two days. She had seen so many men, and the one who fell in love with her most was Zhao Yuan. However, others were from a family, and she had seen Cang Wushuang's appearance, so she could only say that she was beautiful.
After two days of contact, the young master spoke elegantly and had his own insights on food and other things. After struggling in his heart, he felt that some things would not be strong, so it would be better to give up. Then he knew that Zhao Yuan had suddenly come to him today, and for a moment she was a little confused and at a loss.
Zhao Yuan didn't know what Wu Jin was thinking. He walked over, looked at the polite Young Master Mo in front of him, and asked, "Did you say it yourself or did I come?"
Mr. Mo smiled and said, "I don't know what this brother is going to say next? I don't understand it!"
Zhao Yuan said: "I don't understand, right? Then it's up to me to say that you don't have the surname Mo at all, nor are you a young master from a wealthy businessman. You're just a servant in the current prime minister's family. Am I wrong?"
Mr. Mo's face changed slightly, and he covered his smile and said, "Brother, let's be joking!"
Zhao Yuan said: "I'm not joking, it's just you're joking. Miss Wu's father refused Lord Yan's proposal. Lord Yan didn't just do that, so he found a pretty slave among his servants, and then taught some dishes to suit his preferences! The purpose is to think that this slave could marry Miss Wu, but on the day of marriage, the sedan chair would be carried to Yan's mansion, and then you would divorce Miss Wu in front of those people to humiliate her! Am I wrong?"
