Yan Cigui.

Chapter 70
Li Yuanfa greeted the people, and he also took a step forward.

There was rainwater all over his hands, and there was nowhere to wipe it off at this moment, so he couldn't control so much, and bent down to prepare to exert strength.

"Don't just watch," he urged, "help me out."

Wang Si bumped Wang San with his elbow.

Look, the businessman is just weak in his hand, it's just a box, as for so many people?

The joke is a joke, they also work with money, so naturally they have to contribute.

The two brothers were on one side, wanting to show the old man a hand, but they didn't know that when they exerted strength in their hands, the box rose a little from the pit, but it didn't rise completely.

"Why is it so heavy?" Wang Si was inconceivable.

Li Yuanfa and the two exchanged glances.

How about gold bricks, can they not sink?

When it is handed over to the master, some of it will leak out through the cracks of his fingers, and it will be enough for them to eat and drink.

As for private embezzlement, I never even thought about it.

They are the British government, and crushing them to death is like crushing ants.

"The rain is wet and it's all muddy. My hands are slippery and I can't use my strength." Li Yuanfa found an excuse to fool people first, "Come together, come together."

In this way, several people worked together to lift the box out of the pit and onto the cart.

"Thanks to the strong car." Wang San patted the car board.

Pushing the car to the entrance of the alley, Wang Si first went out to have a look around, and after making sure it was safe, he beckoned the people behind to follow.

Unexpectedly, before pushing it to the next alley, a loud roar suddenly came from behind.

"Bold thief! If you dare to steal from me, I will kill you!"

Wang San trembled in fright, and looked back.

It was so dark that they couldn't see the situation clearly, only someone was rushing towards them.

Li Yuan made up his mind to say that it was not good, and hurriedly pushed the cart to run, but how could he run better than an empty-handed person?

Before they ran a few steps, the thieves were surrounded by more than a dozen strong men.

Gao An stood at the front, raised his eyebrows, and stared at the brothers of the Wang family: "It's still you two brats! This time the stolen goods will be taken together! Let's go and meet the officials with me!"

As the midnight approached, the big drum outside Shuntian Yamen was beating loudly.

Shan Shen, who was extremely sleepy, got up from the bed, tidied up briefly, and walked to the lobby with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the clay figurines and boxes in front of him, he asked the master next to him, "What's going on? Did you dig a mountain?"

The master hurriedly explained to him: "Brothers Wang San and Wang Si really went to Laoshi Lane to steal things, and they were caught by Gao An."

"Don't sleep most of the night!" Shan Shen commented.

Gao An heard it, and laughed happily: "My lord, don't you have to stay in the middle of the night to be a thief!"

Shan Shen coughed dryly, spoke boldly without thinking about Gao An, and sat down on the chair.

Gao An explained the incident in detail.

"It started to rain heavily in the evening, and the villain told the workers to go back and rest."

"I've caught these two probing things before, and the villain can't sleep well. I'm thinking about going to Honest Alley again."

"This time, the villain really found out that someone was digging the ground. The villain didn't disturb them, and went back and called a dozen workers to block them."

"If there are people blocked, the villain will send them here quickly."

"My lord, this time they got all the stolen goods, can we put them in jail?"

Shan Shen stroked his beard.

Gao An's confession does not sound problematic, and it matches the current situation.

As for the brothers Wang San and Wang Si...

He asked the yamen servant to question him.

The yamen servant took a serious look at Li Yuanfa's face covered with rain and cement, and said, "My lord, that's right, the brothers of the Wang family went to find these two businessmen as soon as they left the yamen yesterday."

When Li Yuanfa heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to kick Wang Si.

Will it work? !

I didn't even know I was followed yesterday.

I looked around the alley today, but I didn't find Gao An laying an ambush again.

Are you blind?
Shanfu Yin asked the Wang family brothers: "Did the two of them ask you to go to Honest Lane to inquire about the news? What's the benefit of agreeing to you?"

Wang San shrunk his neck and said: "Gao An designed us. We just passed there. He said we stole things from Honest Lane. Does this box say Honest Lane? We brought it from somewhere else!"

"You are Fu Yin and you don't know how to handle cases?" Gao An pointed to Wang San's muddy body, "It's a blessing to God, otherwise I really can't tell, should you take off your shoes and compare them in the honest alley?" Than? The footprints are not finished yet!"

Wang San can't talk anymore.

Wang Si looked left and right, didn't hold back, and honestly confessed.

"Li Dahu and the others paid us brothers to go around, saying they wanted to dig something out of it," Wang Sidao said, "I heard that it has been buried for many years, and the owner's family is long gone. Whoever digs it out counts.

Dig it out and give each of our brothers 20 taels.

My lord, we didn't make black-hearted money, only 20 taels, really.

So far, only the order has been accepted, and the whole amount has been confiscated.

We don't know the ins and outs, let alone what was dug out, my lord, is it enough for accomplices like us to be locked up for a few days?

Whoops! "

As he was talking, he felt a pain in his butt, and was really kicked hard by Li Yuanfa.

Wang Si gritted his teeth in pain, and muttered: "Li Dahu, we spent so much money to do so many things, just helped you dig a box, and entered the yamen twice, you can't point our brother to take the lead, can you?"

Li Yuanfa wanted to kick, but was pushed away by the yamen servant, he was so angry that he opened his mouth to scold.

Looking up and seeing Shan Shen sitting upright in the hall, Li Yuanfa had no choice but to restrain himself.

Shan Shen asked Li Yuanfa and the two of them again.

Li Yuan's face darkened.

Gold bricks are eye-catching, the fourth master has explained, don't let the news out.

If he entered the yamen, no matter how tight his mouth was, Fu Yin Shan would open it, and it was absolutely impossible to hide it.

It's just that the fourth master can't be recruited...

"There are some valuable things on the villain's ancestors. I heard from the old man that they were buried in the honest alley a while ago, and the villain wanted to dig them out," Li Yuanfa said. Just go digging, there is no such thing. Mr. Xi is a good friend of the villain, and he helped out after hearing what the villain said."

Shan Shen said: "You have a good idea. A few months ago the land deeds belonged to those merchants, but now the land deeds belong to Jing Dafeng and Gao An. Whenever you dig, the things don't belong to you."

Li Yuanfa smiled apologetically: "You're right, you're right, that's why I dug it secretly. It's true that there is no seal of the villain's house on the box. I can't explain it, but this thing really belongs to the villain."

"What?" Shan Shen asked.

Li Yuanfa smiled flatteringly: "You have to open the box, the villain knows, or let all the irrelevant people leave, can you take a look?"

"Unlock." Shan Shen didn't agree, only urged him.

Li Yuanfa couldn't have the key, so he said: "The old man didn't pass down the key."

In the middle of the night, there is no locksmith.

The yamen servant was ordered to smash the lock with an axe.

Shan Shen stepped down and lifted the lid halfway.

The boxes are piled up like books?
