In ancient times, salt was an important instrument for stabilizing society, just like oil is today in society.
Selling illegal salt, disrupting public order, raising salt prices, preying on the common people, and evading taxes are very serious crimes.
Leng Youxue said: "I have solid evidence that Huang Cheng stored the salt in the mansion. As long as the salt is found, Huang Cheng will not be able to escape the punishment of the law even if he is related to it."
Yan Qi asked: "Are you sure?"
Leng Youxue nodded and pursed her red lips tightly: "Huang Cheng is extremely greedy. He mixed the government salt with sand and weighed it. He took the opportunity to steal some of the salt and handed it over to private salt dealers to drive up the price of salt. The people are suffering."
"I have been investigating for several months and finally caught Huang Cheng's person selling illegal salt. According to clues, there are still fifty tons of illegal salt in Huang Cheng's house, just a lot more."
Yan Qi shook his head: "Sure enough, he is a petty official who is extremely corrupt."
Leng Youxue frowned and said helplessly: "But even if I have the clues, what can I do? Huang Cheng has taken care of everyone in the officialdom, and I can't even get a search warrant. Even if I break into Huang Cheng's house, But he doesn’t even have the qualifications to conduct a search. Is this case going to be dropped?"
"Why can't we let it go?"
Yan Qi rolled his eyes: "Even if we don't search, I still have a way to try. Maybe I can find where the private salt is hidden."
"Do you have any idea?"
Leng Youxue raised her sword eyebrows, and there was doubt in her beautiful eyes: "How can you find the secret lover without searching? Forgive me for my ignorance."
Yan Qi smiled mischievously: "It's not that you are ignorant, it's that I am too well-informed."
Leng Youxue gave Yan Qi a hard look: "Now is not the time to brag. If you can really help me find a secret love, I...I will be very grateful to you."
Yan Qi pouted: "There's no need for you to thank me, just don't think of me as a gangster."
Leng Youxue pouted her lips and protested silently: You are a gangster to begin with.
Yan Qi pointed to the layout of Huang Cheng's mansion and said to Leng Youxue: "Look, Huang's mansion is located in a busy city and does not occupy a large area. It is not difficult to check."
"Furthermore, based on my guess, Huang Cheng is also afraid that the government will investigate, so the private salt will definitely not be placed in a warehouse or in any house. Because the private salt has fifty tons and occupies too much space. Even if it is placed in the cellar, it will never fit."
"So, based on this, it can be inferred that the location where the private salt is hidden must be in the open air. The location must be very wide to be able to bury the private salt, and it must be very convenient when transporting it outwards." Leng Youxue heard this. Yan Qi couldn't help but look at Yan Qi differently: "How do you know so much? What you said makes sense. But if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have a clue."
Yan Qi was very proud.
Seventh Brother, I am China's strategic think tank. I know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom.
This little bit of reasoning is nothing more than drizzle, nothing more.
Leng Youxue poured cold water on Yan Qi again: "However, even if your guess is reasonable and you have narrowed the scope of the ambush of the private salt a lot, you still cannot determine where the private salt is buried."
Yan Qi had a wicked smile on his face: "So, I have one last trick."
Leng Youxue was curious: "What trick?"
Yan Qidao: "Let your people get a bucket of hot water immediately."
"Thermal water?"
Leng Youxue was very helpless: "That's just a soft drink to keep cool. What's the use? Yan Qi, please don't fool me."
Yan Qi pouted: "If you want to solve the case, quickly tell your subordinates to get the hot water. This is the key to solving the case."
"Okay, I'll send someone to get it right now."
Leng Youxue immediately ordered one of his subordinates to get some hot water.
Huang Cheng saw Leng Youxue and Yan Qi cuddling together and biting their ears, and hummed: "Leng Captou, how can you and your little lover be so close to each other in public? I think you might as well go home and date your lover. Bar."
Everyone burst out laughing.
A layer of drunken blush appeared on Leng Youxue's charming face.
I was busy discussing the case with Yan Qi just now, but I didn't expect the two of them to be so close, almost mouth to mouth.
It was okay not to mention it, but now that it has been exposed, it is unspeakably embarrassing.
Leng Youxue hurriedly took a step away, feeling very embarrassed, but unable to refute that Yan Qi was not her lover.
They almost whispered to each other, and no one believed their retorts.
"Hey, I was really hurt by Yan Qi."
Yan Qi is a cheeky guy, he doesn't blush or pant, and he looks at ease.
Huang Cheng patted the sedan window again: "Leng Youxue, you don't have a search warrant, why are you still hanging on my house? Please leave quickly. Come and see me off."
Leng Youxue was anxious. Once she was kicked out, she would not be able to get in.
Yan Qi hurriedly said to Huang Cheng: "Master Huang, why are you so negligent? Didn't you see that I was whispering to Leng Captou just now? I was actually educating her to stop being so stubborn. We are all in the officialdom, so we should When officials protect each other, why should they be aggressive?"
Huang Cheng snorted: "Yan Qi, what you said is right. As a member of the officialdom, officials should protect each other. It is a taboo in the officialdom to undermine each other, and something will happen."
Yan Qi chuckled and said, "Yes, what Mr. Huang said makes sense, so I just taught Leng Capt. Leng Capt. After listening to my rationale, Leng Capt. also realized his mistake and was about to talk to Huang. Your Excellency has already repaired it. I just wonder if Lord Huang is willing to give it a chance?"
Huang Cheng was overjoyed: "Leng Captou, is what Yan Qi said true?"
What is true is so false that it cannot be false anymore.
Leng Youxue was about to retort, but found that Yan Qi kept winking at her.
She understood, so she had no choice but to hold back and follow Yan Qi's words: "After Yan Qi's lecture, I suddenly realized that it was me Meng Lang just now. Master Huang, please don't take it to heart."
Huang Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Leng Captou, you finally got the idea. Very good, very good, come, please sit down and give Leng Captou some tea. I want to have a good conversation with Leng Captou."
Leng Youxue had no choice but to hold her nose and apologize to Huang Chengxu.
If not, he will be kicked out of the Huang Mansion.
There is no other way.
After a while, a policeman got a bucket of hot water.
Huang Cheng saw it and asked, "What is this?"
Yan Qi smiled and said: "This is thermal water. The weather is too hot and I can't bear it. Drink some thermal water so that you can have the strength to talk to Mr. Huang. Mr. Huang, do you want to try it?"
Huang Cheng waved his hands in disgust: "How can I drink the sewage from the market? Come here, give me a pot of summer tea."
Yan Qi took a sip of the hot water and walked around pretending to appreciate the scenery.
Huang Cheng winked and sent someone to follow.
As long as Yan Qi did not search, he would feel at ease.
The thermal water in Yan Qi's hand is an ancient carbon dioxide drink. It is very cheap, but it feels great to relieve the heat.
Yan Qi walked around, drinking thermal water, and randomly sprinkled it on the ground in parks, rockeries, and woods, but there was no gain.
He was a little confused: What went wrong?
Finally, he discovered that there was a pond on the left side of the gate.
And he found that the pond did not match the decoration at the gate, and even felt that there should not be a pond here.
Yan Qi seemed to have caught something, strolling towards the pond.
When Huang Cheng saw this scene, he suddenly shouted: "Yan Qi, what are you doing?"
