Chapter 118
Xu Ping and Yang Gao were talking about the cotton they were transported, and they walked back to the Transportation Office. As soon as they arrived at the official hall, they saw Wang Yaochen walking around the yard with an anxious face.
Seeing Xu Ping coming back, Wang Yaochen hurried over to greet him.
Xu Pingqi said: "I just told Deputy Envoy Yang that you are just afraid you are busy taking people to patrol the streets to prevent chaos. Why did you walk in front of us in this blink of an eye and get here?"
"Of course there are people from the yamen watching outside. I have something to do, so I come here first."
Xu Ping saw Wang Yaochen's solemn expression and knew that there was something big, so he hurriedly asked: "What is the important thing? I'm so anxious."
"Ming Liu woke up!"
"Who is Gong Liu? What does it matter if he wakes up?" After hearing Wang Yaochen's words, Xu Ping was confused.
Wang Yaochen sighed: "Gong Liu is the person who survived the robbery in Longmen Town money house a few days ago. Does Yun Xing remember it? Now he is awake. It turns out that he knows the people who robbed at that time."
Xu Ping was stunned and hurriedly said, "Let's go to the small flower hall to talk."
Walking side by side with Wang Yaochen, Xu Ping asked him: "Since you have recognized someone, have you sent someone to get it? The case is full of attention, and it is impossible to be careless. Never have clues, and people will run away after a moment of negligence!"
"The person has been brought back and has been tried. I came to you only after I got the confession of the thief."
While speaking, the three of them arrived at the small flower hall, and the host and the public officials came to tea.
Xu Ping looked at Yang Qiu and asked Wang Yaochen: "With the confession, the case will be full of clues. Why did you come to me?"
"It turned out that there were two groups of people who robbed the carriage in the money house that day, three of which were unknown. The remaining group were all idle men who were doing evil on weekdays. The leader was the caterpillar in Longmen Town. The caterpillar among the three Tong Dalang and his three people. Last year, because they were making trouble in the city with people, they were sent to the Jiagushan Quarry."
Speaking of this, Xu Ping remembered who the caterpillar was. Among the three Tong Dalang, he was the most inconspicuous. He didn't expect to do such a big thing. Is there a caterpillar? Did Tong Dalang participate?
After hearing Xu Ping's question, Wang Yaochen said, "It's a trouble here now. I brought Tong Dalang and the sick Yuchi back to ask a question a few days ago. When they were robbing the carriage, they were arguing with Du Er who bought a restaurant. At that time, many people in the restaurant saw that these two people could not have the clone skills and then go to rob the money house. What I think now is that this is the trick of those people, who deliberately asked someone to quarrel and clear their suspicion. We should catch Tong Dalang and come back to ask questions. We have already caught him once a few days ago. His identity is no better than before, and it may make people gossip."
Xu Ping nodded, indicating that he understood what Wang Yaochen meant. The company's money shops were all proposed by Xu Pingxin, and the local area was more cautious in handling it. And a few days ago, Xu Ping said not to investigate Tong Dalang, so Wang Yaochen came to ask himself.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Xu Ping asked Wang Yaochen: "Tong Dalang and that right, Du Er, why did he quarrel about it?"
"It's just a trivial matter. It seems to be that Tong Dalang would go back late a few days ago and disturbed the guests in the restaurant."
Xu Ping couldn't help but frown: "No, this kind of thing shouldn't be quarrel with Tong Dalang."
Wang Yaochen said: "It was not Tong Dalang who quarreled, it was Du Er who came to their door."
Xu Ping frowned for a while, then suddenly raised his head: "No! How do I remember talking about it a few days ago that since Tong Dalang began to recognize the Sect, the head of the Sun Mian family, the caterpillar and the two of them were not as close as before."
"Yes, the same is true for the public officials I sent to investigate. Moreover, since Tong Dalang became famous, Du Er was not good to them before, and he quarreled many times. He didn't have any caterpillars and had been in contact with Du Er."
Hearing this, Xu Ping sighed: "Boyong, have you ever checked that Du Er?"
Wang Yaochen was stunned: "No, he is still working in front of Henan County Yamen, and he will go to the Yamen to click on the Mao area every few days."
Yang Jue, who sat on the side, said: "Prime Minister Wang Tong, Du Cao means that you may have misunderstood. If you have anything to do with no caterpillars, it may not be Tong Dalang at all, but Du Er. You think that the two sides quarreled that day because Du Er deliberately made trouble. We have always regarded that matter to clear Tong Dalang's suspicion, but we also cleared Du Er's suspicion. On the other hand, if there is no caterpillars, there is always something to do with Du Er. That day, Du Er took the initiative to find Tong Dalang, and then his suspicion would be greater."
"Du Er is in front of the Yai Dynasty and is still working in Henan County."
Xu Ping shook his head: "Boyong, these servants in front of the yamen handle chores and deal with everyone on a daily basis. They are not good people. How many of the messy things in the local area are caused by them!"
Wang Yaochen breathed and nodded. He naturally knew that the clerks were of course not good people. They were always inferior in the Song Dynasty, and officials were always on guard against each other. But this is the King of Xijing, which is different from other places. In his heart, he always felt that the people in the yamen were more trustworthy. Now it seems that it may not be.
After sorting out his thoughts, Wang Yaochen said: "Now, Du Er is missing. Most of the robbers who participated in the robbery that day have been caught. According to what these people said, a box of stolen goods was also retrieved. Unfortunately, Du Er didn't know where he went and could not find him. There were also the three people who took four boxes of stolen goods that day, and they didn't know who they were."
The official property lost in this case, and the most important thing is to get the stolen money back. As for the robbers, they can always pay the job after arresting a few people.
Yang Gao suddenly said: "There are three people. Do you still remember that the officials of the city branch office caused trouble some time ago, and the officials from Henan County participated, but disappeared afterwards. They also happened to be three people. Will it be related to this case?"
Wang Yaochen thought about it and slapped the table: "It's not wrong! Those three people are from Henan County, and Du Er is in front of Henan County. There is no caterpillar and Du Er, so they all happened to be connected!"
Xu Ping and Yang Gu looked at each other, and neither of them spoke. Wang Yaochen made a point, but this was a case in Henan Prefecture. It was difficult for them to intervene too much at this time. When the Henan Prefecture closed the case and the Transportation Department investigated it, that was another matter. Moreover, it was also a transfer of the magistrate or judge from other states, and the two of them would not go there in person.
Wang Yaochen stood up, paced back and forth for a while, and said to Xu Ping: "Now don't rush to move Du Er, just find someone to watch him. He has a family and a job, and can't escape! The key is to find no caterpillars first, and then visit along the Yi River. Where did the three of them go that day? Yunxing see how they did this? Are there any omissions?"
