Zhang Qian and Gan Lin have been hanging out together for many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they wear the same pants. After a tacit eye contact between the two, they each knew what was going on.
They really couldn't refuse this favor.
They were all on the same boat, and they all followed Jiang Cheng's lead, so when Shen Hao asked for something, they couldn't forgive him. Besides, they also said that this was an important case supervised by Jiang Cheng. Wouldn't it also hurt Jiang Cheng's face if he didn't give Shen Hao face?
In addition, although Zhang and Gan are deputy Qianhu officers of the garrison, they have basically reached the top of their official career. The situation is somewhat similar to that of Tang Qingyuan. Now they can survive for a long time with their poor cultivation, but their goals are unclear. Otherwise, they wouldn't hang around each other all the time. So they were actually a little tempted by the benefits Shen Hao said.
"Then let's make an agreement first. Brothers must also settle accounts clearly. You can draw the line on how we can help you, but you must give us the benefits we deserve first."
Shen Hao nodded and smiled without answering. He took out two banknotes from his arms and placed them in front of Zhang and Gan. The denomination was fifty thousand. The money was extracted from Ma San's five-fold payment, and was used in turn on the case, giving Zhang and Gan some benefits in advance.
Of course, in addition to money, Shen Hao also took out two newly installed small boxes from his storage bag. Each contained a large Peiyuan Pill, which was also taken out of Ma San's hand.
"Ho!"
"Da Pei Yuan Dan?!"
Zhang and Gan subconsciously leaned forward and grabbed the banknotes and the pill box, their faces filled with unexpected surprise.
"Are you two eldest brothers satisfied? As I said just now, this is a big case. As long as it can be taken down, there will definitely be a lot of benefits. Although things like the Great Peiyuan Pill are precious, they are not without opportunities."
"Is there such a pill later?"
Shen Hao smiled and said: "This depends on how big the feedback from the two eldest brothers is. If it is not enough, I won't be able to ask for something from above, right?"
"Okay, tell us what you want us to do first."
The two of them restrainedly put the banknotes and the pill box in their hands back on the table. They didn't put them away in a hurry. They wanted to hear what Shen Hao said next.
"This case involves a key point, and that is storage bags. When the thieves took out the goods, they took out more than 20 storage bags of the same size and style. I want my two brothers to help me check them. Let’s see where these more than twenty storage bags came from.”
It's impossible to get in from the outside, but it should be much easier if you start from the inside. This is Shen Hao's idea of advancing the case, and this is also the reason why he found Zhang and Gan.
Gan Lin spoke first: "Your suspicion is not unreasonable. The appearance of more than 20 storage bags of the same size and style at the same time is indeed mostly from the military. However, a thousand-household residence does not have so many storage bags. Bags, this has to go up, at least to the supply camp at the military yamen level to be able to take out so many storage bags in one go."
Zhang Qian also continued: "Furthermore, storage bags are strictly controlled equipment in the military. They will be verified regularly. Entry and exit are strictly registered. Once damaged or lost, it is a serious crime. So no one dares to be careless." What's more, when you say you took out more than twenty storage bags at once, there will definitely be traces left behind. But it's very difficult to check."
Gan Lin nodded repeatedly: "It is indeed difficult. Although we are also among the military ranks, the garrison is at the end? Our status has always been low. If you want to investigate such secrets in the military office, you have to think carefully about how to unfold it. .”
Military Yamen refers to the front military governor's office. The two of them locked the target in just a few words. This is what Shen Hao hoped to see before, and it is indeed best to have an expert check it.
"Two eldest brothers? This case is being pressed very urgently, and it is likely to involve high-level military officials. The investigation can only be continued after obtaining tangible evidence, so I'd better act quickly."
Shen Hao would not ask these two people how to investigate. That was their own responsibility, as long as they got the results.
"We will work as soon as possible. Let's start from the Jingxi Military Office now. Let the border army go first. We have to go around a lot to find someone to handle it."
"I can't guarantee you anything in terms of time? I have to make this clear to you."
Shen Hao shook his head: "There has to be a deadline, right?"
"How about a month?"
"Too long? No, ten days at most."
Zhang and Gan looked at each other and communicated for a while, and finally nodded and agreed to the deadline.
After everything was settled, the two of them put away the banknotes and pill boxes on the table with smiles. Especially the Great Peiyuan Pill was really an unexpected surprise. They stayed in the garrison to retire? They hadn't seen such a good thing for more than a year.
"Okay, I wish you two big brothers every success!"
Shen Hao raised his glass. Zhang and Gan also raised the horn glasses in front of them and drank in one gulp. At this time, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little closer to each other. In the past, the relationship between the three of them relied solely on Jiang Cheng to keep them close. Now that the three of them have common interests, it is naturally different from the past.
After removing the shielding array arranged in the wing, Shen Hao greeted outside. The two guards at the door signaled the madam who had also been waiting for a long time. After talking about the matters inside, it was time to start the occasion with wine.
The attendants filed in, taking away the cold dishes to reheat them or serving new ones. At the same time, two high-ranking singers also entered the room, one on the left and one on the right, nestling next to Zhang and Gan.
"Hey, is this a new face?"
Zhang and Gan were regular visitors to the Flower House, and they also came to Hongenyuan frequently. Most of the singers there were familiar faces, but it was the first time they had met the two people next to them.
"The two eldest brothers are really sharp-eyed. These two are newcomers. The madam said that today is the first time they come out to meet guests. Are the two eldest brothers staying overnight today?" Shen Hao explained with a smile while sipping his wine. To be honest, the two singers were indeed very good, and it was their first time. It was probably Hongenyuan who sent them to them for review.
However, the soup is expensive, and Shen Hao wouldn't have spent so much money if he didn't want Zhang and Gan to try their best.
Turning his head and looking at the door, Shen Hao remembered that he had also called a singer to accompany him. Why was there one less person? Just as he was about to ask, he smelled a familiar fragrance drifting in from outside, and then a plain white figure appeared.
A white fur shawl, underneath is a similarly white tight-fitting long dress. The long dress is as thin as cicada wings and clings to the body, swaying like a willow branch gently teasing the heart.
"Miss Lianxiang? Why are you here?" Shen Hao was quite surprised.
"Humph, Mr. Shen didn't even notify me when he came. I wanted to see you come here by yourself and you still behave like this!" He swirled into Shen Hao's arms like a warm wind.
Shen Hao hugged her subconsciously, looked down, and met the goblin's eyes, which were so hot that he felt a little hot.
