Chapter 70 Car dealership
After Lin Yanyan finished speaking, Xiao Qian went on to say: "It was an old man who made steamed buns on Changping Street who found out that Meng's family was in trouble. His surname was Zhang. Old man Zhang knew Meng Chao's father well. When he was ugly every day, old Zhang would get up to make steamed buns. Yin Zheng I went to the market in Xicheng to sell the burden. Yesterday evening, old man Zhang met Meng’s father, and Meng’s father told him to leave ten steamed buns for him today. Old man Zhang went out to sell steamed buns on time today, passing by Meng’s house Seeing that the door of Meng's house was half-closed, he thought Father Meng had woken up, thinking that the steamed buns would be cold by the time he came back from the market, so why not give the steamed buns to Father Meng now, and called the door, who knows how many times No one answered, old man Zhang felt that something was wrong, so he went in to have a look, and found that Meng Chao was dead in a pool of blood. He was so frightened that he ran out to wake up the neighbors, and reported to the police..."

"It's my turn..." Lu Zhaonan was eager to show his investigation results.

"You said."

Lu Zhaonan said: "I visited the neighbors of the Meng family. The Meng family moved here ten years ago, after Meng Chao became the guard of the Dinghuai Gate. The Meng family has always been honest and has a good relationship with the neighbors. I haven't blushed or quarreled with anyone in ten years, and it's impossible to say that it's impossible to make enemies."

Xiao Qian was still waiting for Lu Zhaonan's next words, but Lu Zhaonan started drinking tea.

"Gone?"

"That's all, everyone said the same thing, so I'll summarize it." Lu Zhaonan felt that he had summed it up quite well, concisely.

Xiao Qian was speechless, asking was tantamount to not asking.

"When I came out, I asked casually. Someone said that Meng's father used to work in a firecracker workshop. He was missing three fingers on his left hand and was broken by firecrackers. The shopkeeper who runs a grocery store on the street said that Meng Chao came to his shop every now and then. Three days ago, Meng Chao went to buy soy sauce, took the soy sauce, and left. He gave two extra copper coins but didn’t find it, and he didn’t hear the call. The shopkeeper chased him and gave him the money. The shopkeeper asked Meng Chao if it was It wasn't that there was something on his mind, Meng Chao shook his head and said no, but looking at Meng Chao's appearance, he seemed to have lost his soul." Lin Yanyan added.

"The old man who runs a grocery store on the street? I asked him too, but he didn't tell me that." Lu Zhaonan resented.

Xiao Qian squinted at him: "Why did you ask?"

"I... I just asked the Meng family if they had feuds with others. Didn't you ask me to ask?"

Xiao Qian didn't want to talk to him anymore, and looked at Guan Sheng: "How is your side?"

"Returning to my lord, I asked the guards at Dinghuai Gate, and they all said that Meng Chao was a little dull, but he was absolutely diligent in his work. If there was any difference, it should be four days ago that Meng Chao was given a scolding by the guard commander Guo Yongli. The reason was that Meng Chao moved too slowly when checking the goods of the Shunchang convoy, which caused congestion at the city gate. At that time, an official's wife was about to enter the city, so Guo Yongli told him not to check. He refused to stop, so Guo Yongli Wynn trained me."

"Public training?" Xiao Qian asked.

"A few words of training in public. Later, someone saw that Guo Yongli called Meng Chao to go alone and gave a few more words of training. The humble staff asked Guo Yongli to inquire. Guo Yongli's words were similar to what everyone said. They thought Meng Chao was too dull and had no eyesight. .”

"Have you checked the entry register?"

"The humble job only copied the registration records of that day." Guan Sheng took out a list.

After Xiao Qian looked at it, Lu Zhaonan stretched out his hand to pick it up, Xiao Qian handed it to Lin Yanyan directly, Lu Zhaonan pouted resentfully.

Lin Yanyan said: "From everyone's description, Meng Chao is an honest and conscientious person. He insisted on checking the goods of Shunchang Automobile. He must have found something wrong."

Xiao Qian nodded in agreement: "Guan Sheng, go to Dinghuai Gate again and bring back the city entry register for the past month. Mr. Zhen, Mr. Lu, let's go to the Shunchang car dealership."

The three of them came to Shunchang Car Shop, which is a car dealer that specializes in helping people transport goods, and is one of the three major car dealers in Beijing.

Ye Guanshi, the person in charge of the car dealership, heard that someone from Shuntian Mansion was coming, so he rushed out to greet him.

"Four days ago? There were several truckloads of goods coming and going, and the young ones can't remember clearly. Why don't the adults wait a moment, and the young ones go to check the accounts."

"Go quickly, my master is busy." Lu Zhaonan urged impatiently.

Xiao Qian and Lin Yanyan looked at Lu Zhaonan together.

"Why do you look at me like that? Did I... say something wrong or do something wrong?" Lu Zhaonan had already been hit hard today, first he went to the scene excitedly, but in the end he vomited after just one glance , I went to ask the neighbors and did not find any useful information. I feel that the gap between reality and imagination is too great.So now he wants to behave well, he sees Guan Sheng and the others usually go out like this, shouting and shouting, as if I am your uncle.

Lin Yanyan turned to look at Xiao Qian: You can teach your people yourself, how can anyone in the yamen say that he is a young master, and he still thinks that he is Lu Xiaowang.

Xiao Qian secretly sighed: "Don't talk later."

Lu Zhaonan: Uh...

He was wrong again?

After a while, Guanshi Ye took out the account.Xiao Qian directly turned to the records of four days ago, found three cars coming in from the direction of Dinghuai Gate, and then turned back, and found three more cars the next day, transported from Ezhou.

"What are these trucks of yours?"

"My lord, they are all local specialties, such as bronze mirrors, Jiangxia's lotus seeds, Fasi rice and so on."

"Where is the thing now?"

"It's all been sent to customers. The rice has been sent to Quanta Rice Grain Store, Zilian has been sent to various restaurants, and the bronze mirrors have been sent to various rouge shops."

"Is it all delivered?"

"It's over."

"Where's the carriage? Still there?"

"My lord, the carriage has been dispatched. Our dealership is doing very well, and we are too busy."

Xiao Qianxin said: Then what else to check?
Lin Yanyan thought about it: "You should have a warehouse for so many goods coming and going every day, right?"

Guanshi Ye nodded and bowed: "There are warehouses, there are."

"How many places?"

"There are two places."

"Take us to see."

"My lord..." Ye Guanshi showed a look of embarrassment.

Xiao Qian raised his brows slightly, and released a majestic aura: "What? Is there a problem? Could it be that there is something shady in this warehouse?"

Guanshi Ye waved his hands again and again: "No, no, the young one just thinks that there are still many things to deal with, that's all, it's important to always cooperate with the adults on business, and the young ones will go with the adults."

"However, my lord, can you tell me what went wrong in our car dealership? If the boss asks, it's easy to answer the younger one, right?"

Xiao Qian said coldly: "I suspect that someone is smuggling prohibited items."

Guanshi Ye's face changed drastically: "My lord, this is absolutely impossible. Our car dealership is a serious business, and we never do anything illegal."

"Whether it is true or not, you have to check to find out." Lu Zhaonan imitated Xiao Qian's tone and dragged.

The three of them followed Guanshi Ye to the back of the garage.

After exiting the back door, there is a large yard with seven or eight carriages parked in the yard.

Lin Yanyan said slowly: "Guan Ye, isn't your car dealership doing very well? Why are there so many empty carriages?"
