The tools brought by the foreigners were very complete. More than a dozen people from Huihetang gathered around the locust tree. In just two hours, they had dug a three to four-meter deep hole around the ancient locust tree.
When all the mounds of soil were piled up on the shore, Luo Shiniang's heart was filled with excitement.
"You haven't dug it yet?" Mr. Hua stood on the pit and looked at the gangsters in the pit. They were all disgraced and had to dig very hard. However, after two hours, they were still in vain. They had dug out so much. There were many mounds of earth, but no sign of any silver.
"Mrs. Luo, didn't you say that the official silver is at this location? Why are the things missing? Could it be that these people dug away the silver in advance?" Mr. Hua's brows were obviously unhappy. Luo Shiniang looked into the pit and then As the pits were dug deeper and deeper, plant roots were exposed. The land on the island was moist and muddy water began to seep out.
"Could it be that they lied to you?" Mr. Hua was a little angry. He did not engage in such a big battle just to return without success.
Luo Shiniang considered it and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hua, these people are my old acquaintances. They can't dig things away in advance. Otherwise, if I go to meet them again, I might be able to get the news about the treasure ship of the Southern Song Dynasty. "The foreigner nodded and said: "Be careful, leave and come back quickly, this matter must be done covertly."... After Dongting Lake, West City Wall, Yueyang Tower Tide Watching, Yue Qingshan and Song Siyuan explained their intention, Taoist Master Jin obviously sighed. Tone: "The old Taoist has long said that you should not get involved in cause and effect. You have come to this point and have been involved in the case. Whether you are escaping or helping others, you are already hampered." Yue Qingshan asked: "Taoist Master Jin, Don't you have any way to help Luo Shiniang? She is seeking justice for the boat people, and this cannot be erased no matter what." Taoist Master Jin said in a calm tone: "I understand everything you said, but, She has killed innocent people indiscriminately for revenge. In essence, she is no different from the people in the case investigation bureau. If they all use chivalry as a guise and engage in selfish revenge, how can they be called chivalrous and seek justice!"
"She made mistakes again and again, and was coerced to a dead end by Huasheng Trading Company. She really made the road narrow by herself. What can the old Taoist priest do?" He paused, and already had the intention of driving them away in his words. Meaning: "However, if you want to help, you can do it from your heart and do your best. It may not be impossible to turn danger into good fortune."
"Do your best?" Yue Qingshan muttered these four words, already knowing what to do, he lowered his eyebrows and said: "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for the advice." After saying that, he led Yue Guanchao and the others out of Yueyang Tower.
"What do you mean by trying your best?" Yue Guanchao made a fuss, wondering what kind of riddle Taoist Jin was trying to solve.
Yue Qingshan pondered for a moment and explained: "He means to ask us to follow Sister Luo off the treasure ship and wait for the opportunity to tell her the truth. If we can protect her from harm in the process, then we are doing our best. Otherwise, It's useless for us just to run around Yueyang City."
"Then are we sure we want to follow them into the treasure ship?" Song Siyuan is worried about the Huasheng Trading Company group. After all, these people are too close to the officialdom. It is inevitable that they will kill people to keep the secret. As long as they get off the treasure ship, they will It's like putting your life in the hands of Huasheng Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.
Yue Qingshan nodded and said: "Daughter, Taoist Master Jin said that we should do our best to turn disaster into good fortune. It seems to be a clear indication that we will solve the crisis. If we don't get off the Southern Song Dynasty treasure ship, we won't be able to save Sister Luo."
"But!" Old Man Yue changed the topic: "We can't make any preparations. We can bring self-defense weapons and just wait for Sister Luo to come. They will definitely come to see us again for the treasure ship of the Southern Song Dynasty. When the time comes, we will use our tricks to dig with them. Treasure ship." Seeing that they had decided to go, Luo Hengsen looked at them: "Then, since you have decided, I have to go back and deliver the mission. Say goodbye." After Luo Hengsen got into the car, he took Wang Dachuan back to the Yueyang Public Security Headquarters. Department, for him, he has discovered the official conspiracy of the Golden Rat to kill his life, and also knows the serious consequences. The smartest thing to do now is to pretend to know nothing and not ask about the situation.
However, after listening to Taoist Priest Jin's words, he felt that doing nothing would really be a pity for wearing the security uniform. After much thought, he decided to listen to Taoist Priest Jin's words and do his best.
After the car stopped at the Public Security Bureau, he took the file into the chief's office. As soon as he entered, he deliberately glanced at the table and saw that there was no small yellow croaker in Chief Wu, which made him feel relieved.
"How about the Huihetang case?" Director Wu lit up a cigar and blew out shreds of tobacco to signal him to sit down. Luo Hengsen put down the file and pushed it over: "It's all in here." At this time, Director Wu picked up the file and After looking at it from front to back, there was no change in his expression: "Have you controlled Huihetang?"
"Yes!" Luo Hengsen paused and continued: "But it's useless to control it. Everyone has run away. The most the security guards can do is count Huihetang to see what evidence they left behind. I I suspect they have a spy who tipped them off."
"oh?"
"Do you have evidence?" Director Wu became curious. Luo Hengsen pursed his lips and explained: "It's all in the file. Huihetang has been controlled by Huasheng Commercial Bank. I lost the clue when I checked here. These people are now missing and have escaped. If you want to continue to investigate, I'm afraid you have to Take control of Huasheng Trading Company." He mentioned this point deliberately just to see what Director Wu was thinking. Before he finished speaking, the old detective blew out a smoke ring and said angrily: "Beicheng Port is not that easy to mess with. Yes, their people are currently missing, which means we don’t have the exact evidence of their murder. Being able to control Huihetang is already the best we can do. As for Huasheng Trading Company, don’t even think about it. Think about it." After finishing speaking, Director Wu took out a document from his desk and handed it to Luo Hengsen. He explained: "Did you see it? England sent a diplomatic note asking the southwest region to provide discounts to all merchants. I am also curious as to why it was sent to Luo Hengsen for no reason. I read such a wordless heavenly book, and it turns out that this is the reason."
"Then, let's not continue the investigation. If we continue to investigate and find out anything good or bad, you and I will suffer. I have only held the position of chief executive for less than ten years, and I haven't had enough. .”
"Then, let's just forget it?" Luo Hengsen still wanted to save him.
"Don't even think about it." Director Wu flipped through the folder at hand, took out a pen and signed the document: "I agree with your leave document. Let's take half a month's leave first. You can do this. Just don’t worry about it.”
"Hey, you still have this leave application document. It's been half a year!" Luo Hengsen looked at this thing and already knew that it was almost impossible to check further. If he really took a vacation, it meant that he was completely excluded from the investigation. case authority.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many people in the Sheriff's Department who want to take a vacation, and you guys are not happy about it?"
