According to what Zhang and Gan found out, the twenty-one storage bags that had records of entry and exit in the Jingxi Army Supply Camp were extremely suspicious. But trying to confirm the final flow is troublesome.
Because although Zhang and Gan have been in the military for half their lives and have many connections, in the final analysis they are only deputy qianhu of the fifth rank, and they are also deputy qianhu of the local garrison. They have no way to contact the senior military officials and can investigate. So far these are almost their limits.
"Where's the border army? Can you check something out?"
"I can't guarantee you this, I can only give it a try."
"Okay, then let's continue to work hard, two big brothers."
"It doesn't matter. It's just a pity that the two of us are not very capable and can't continue to dig deeper." Zhang Qian also knew that they had only found half of the matter. They had found the doubts, but they were so far behind that they couldn't put the matter aside. Reality. There is a sense of doing half the work.
So Zhang and Gan were a little apologetic.
"The news from the frontier army will also bother the two elder brothers later. As for the Jingxi army, I will think of another way."
After chatting for a few more words, Zhang and Gan got up and went out, saying they wanted to ask Tang Qingyuan if he wanted to drink flower wine.
Shen Hao was still in the study, putting the copper bars found by Zhang Qian and Gan Lin into a storage bag, and then asked Xiao Ma to call Wang Jian and Zhang Liao from outside.
It was rare that Wang Jian was not drunk today. Although his face was red, his eyes were still clear.
Needless to say Zhang Liao, Shen Hao knew that he had a good drinking capacity when he was in Licheng, and the amount of wine tonight was not enough to knock him down.
"Who else is outside?" Shen Hao asked Wang Jian to add some hot water and asked casually.
"Zhang Qianhu and Gan Qianhu took Mr. Tang away, along with several Xiaoqi from the Black Flag Battalion. The others also said goodbye and left. Adjutant Wang was drunk, and the two brothers from Qianhu's Office sent him away He came home."
"Are you two the only ones left?"
"Yes sir."
Shen Hao took a sip of tea and pointed to the chair next to him for the two of them to sit down, and then said: "Zhang Liao, we haven't seen each other for a while. I heard that Chen Tianwen said that you have lost your temper in muddling along recently?"
Zhang Liao didn't expect that he nodded at the first sentence. He quickly put down the tea cup, stood up and bowed: "I am scared, but I always feel that doing things is boring without your leadership."
He waved his hand. Zhang Liao was not a very eloquent person and he liked to stutter when he was excited. Moreover, what he just said was a bit dissatisfied with Chen Tianwen, and it would not be a good thing to let him out.
"You don't need to beat around the bush with me, and there's no need for words. Wang Jian can lead you here. I didn't drive you away because I just wanted to hear what you have to say to me, so don't be hesitant. Be a man and be happy."
Zhang Liao opened his mouth several times, and finally said: "I, I want to follow you, sir? I don't want to stay in Licheng."
Although Zhang Liao is far less sharp-tongued than Wang Jian, Zhang Liao is not stupid. He wants to continue to climb up like Wang Jian. Knowing that there is basically no hope on his own, he can only look for backers, and Shen Hao is the only one he can find. Backer? Naturally, I want to follow closely.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Liao came today just to stand in line.
This reminded Shen Hao of the past when he approached Wang Jian's family and got in touch with Zhang Qian and Gan Lin? And then through Zhang Qian and Gan Lin, he sided with Jiang Cheng.
"Follow me? Do you want to be promoted like Wang Jian?"
Zhang Liao nodded blankly and did not deny it.
"Haha? Interesting. Let's do it this way. You come to Fengri City and take the job of patrolling the flag officer like Wang Jian. Wang Jian will tell you exactly what you will do. But I will tell you the ugly things first. After you come here, what will happen to you? I have to keep my mouth shut? If any secrets are leaked, your death alone will not be enough to avenge the crime. The death of the whole family is not too much. Do you understand?"
This Wang Jian had told Zhang Liao before, mentioning that the level of confidentiality in Fengri City was much higher than that in the Black Flag Camp in Licheng, and Zhang Liao was mentally prepared. So he quickly knelt down on one knee and loudly expressed that he would not let Shen Hao down.
"Come on. It was Wang Jian's recommendation that you were elected as the small flag officer of the Y-shaped flag in Licheng. Now it's him who brings you to me. Are you also destined? I hope you will cooperate tacitly in the future and not cause any trouble. Something dirty is coming out."
After saying this, Wang Jian also quickly knelt down on one knee and promised that he would never do anything stupid like internal corruption in the future. Shen Hao should rest assured.
...
The next day? Shen Hao arrived at the public house as usual and asked the concierge to find Wang Yiming.
"grown ups."
"Do you know anyone in the Imperial City? Go to the teleportation circle there in person? I want to check all the records of those who passed the teleportation circle with the Ministry of War badge from November 25th to the end of December."
"Sir? This kind of thing can be investigated directly through normal channels. The teleportation circle is jointly managed by the local government and the garrison. They dare not not help, and..."
Shen Hao waved his hand, interrupted Wang Yiming, and said: "If it can be publicized, there is no need to bother. If we investigate in secret, the information must not be leaked."
Wang Yiming's heart was moved and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely give you an accurate letter within three days."
"Well, go ahead and remember not to show off."
Wang Yiming left in a hurry, but Shen Hao was still unsure. Although the suspicion about the storage bag is quite possible, there is currently no way to draw a conclusion, and the possibility of external verification is too low. The only way is to continue to move forward from another direction based on the information that Zhang Qian and Gan Lin have confirmed.
Normally, all official agencies that need to use teleportation arrays for official purposes will use special channels, which is faster and does not require waiting for the scheduled teleportation time. Since special channels will consume additional spiritual stones, they will be eligible to be registered for filing.
If the batch of storage bags taken away from the Jingxi Army went to the Imperial City Magical Weapons Department, it would definitely leave a record of personnel transactions on the Imperial City's teleportation array, and there would be objective rationality in terms of time. . If there is no record or the time does not match the entry and exit records of the storage bag, it can support Shen Hao's guess.
But it didn't take three days at all, just two days, that is, the third day of January in the 29th year of the new year, Wang Yiming came back from the imperial city with news.
"Sir, this is the registration status of all military outings and returns from the Imperial City Teleportation Array between November 25th and the end of December last year. These were secretly copied by subordinates, and the information will never be leaked. .”
After taking it, Shen Hao immediately opened it and read it one by one. A smile soon appeared on his face.
According to the information brought back by Zhang Qian and Gan Lin, the twenty-one storage bags in the Jingxi Army Baggage Camp were registered and shipped out at noon on November 29 last year, and the time when Ma San learned that the transaction was not guaranteed was On November 25th, so if there is a connection between the two, then no matter how fast or slow, these people from the Ministry of War who come to collect storage bags must set off from the Imperial City between these two points in time.
And based on the route and return time, you can only return to the imperial city after the third or fourth day of December.
Only when these two time nodes are met at the same time can it be valuable.
It just so happened that there were exactly two people in the transcripts that Wang Yiming brought back whose entry and exit times met the requirements.
