Just as Ye Xiaotian was about to speak, Zhang Hongxuan, Qiao Zhenhua, and Liu Junyang rushed in with a group of servants in a hurry. As soon as they entered the hall, they yelled: "The relief money was stolen? What the hell is going on, Lao Kuai, Lao Kuai, Tell me quickly, Guan Xiaokun did it?"
Kuai Peng was impatiently waiting for Ye Xiaotian to reveal the answer, and hurriedly said: "Don't make any noise, just stand aside and listen to Xiaotian!"
Zhang Hongyan, Qiao Zhenhua and others were stunned. Kuai Peng has a rough temperament and has always been defiant. When did he treat a person so submissively? Moreover, judging from his appearance, he seemed to listen to Ye Xiaotian's words very much.
Ye Xiaotian nodded and smiled at them as a greeting, then turned to Guan Xiaokun and said, "This evidence is easy to find. On the day of the charity sale, the silver box was carried all the way back to the Imperial College by eight staff from your restaurant. As long as I can prove that the silver box is It wasn’t stolen from the Imperial College, so these eight people cannot escape responsibility, right?”
Guan Xiaokun's face was extremely ugly, and he still insisted: "How do you prove it?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "After those guys carried the silver box and left the restaurant, they only stopped to rest for a while at an intersection because they encountered a welcoming team passing by. Before and after that, the silver box never left their shoulders. If I Now find the same box, fill it with silver, as long as your guys can carry the silver box and walk again according to the route of the day, without resting all the way, I, Ye Xiaotian, kowtow to you and confess!"
Ye Xiaotian's tone of voice was gentle at the beginning, but his voice and expression were all stern when he spoke later. Guan Xiaokun seemed to be hit head-on by an invisible fist, and took a step back suddenly, his face pale.
Tang Xianzu said leisurely: "Kai Peng was not the only one who escorted Yinliang that day, there were more than ten arresters including Xing Butou. Get them to be witnesses, follow them all the way, and make sure that your buddy can walk perfectly!"
Guan Xiaokun wanted to quibble at first, but he was speechless after hearing this. Ye Xiaotian turned to Kuai Peng and Le Siye with a smile and said, "Now, I understand why they broke all three boxes when they went to the Guozijian warehouse to remove the bricks from the boxes, but the door locks were intact."
Zhang Hongyan, Qiao Zhenhua and the others were baffled, and couldn't help interjecting: "Brick? What brick?"
Kuai Peng said impatiently, "I'll explain it to you later."
Kuai Peng couldn't wait to ask Ye Xiaotian: "Quickly tell me, why?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "It's not because they can unlock the door, but they can't open the lock of the box. Mystery is part of it, but the main reason is... the silver box has been changed by them, and the key on your body can't open it for a few days. There is a box, so they have to break the lock, and when we find out that the silver has been stolen, who will be so bored to try to open the locked lock with the key?"
Kuai Peng intertwined fists and palms, and said excitedly: "Not bad! Not bad! If I go back and try now, my key will definitely not be able to open those locks. Haha, your brain is so shrewd that you can think of so many things." .”
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Actually, there are many things I don't understand. For example, they have never been in and out of the Imperial College, where did they find people to help them, and where did those people find the keys to the warehouse door, but these are not important anymore. He'll tell us anyway, won't he?"
As Ye Xiaotian said, he leisurely turned to Guan Xiaokun. At this time, Guan Xiaokun's face was as pale as paper, and he seemed to be unable to stand still.
"My lord, I searched all over the third floor, but nothing!"
"My lord, I have searched the second floor, but there is nothing there!"
"My lord, the first floor..."
Kuai Peng was ecstatic, but bad news came one after another, and Kuai Peng's face suddenly became gloomy.
Kuai Peng was very trustworthy in the ability of his subordinates to search the house, and it was a huge amount of silver, not a needle, so how could it be hidden so easily, unless it was transported out first. If that's the case, even though they have undeniable reasons, I'm afraid the lawsuit will still be a mess. You must know that Guan Xiaokun's father is the Minister of Rites, and there is a little father-in-law behind him.
"Has the silver been transported away?" Ye Xiaotian's heart sank, but he glanced at Guan Xiaokun, and suddenly rejected this idea.
"Impossible! If the money has already been transported away, Guan Xiaokun shouldn't have appeared in Baishan Tower at this time! If the money has been transported away, even if my reasons can refute him, he will definitely refuse to admit it, but His current panic is definitely not just because he is speechless to my speculation... "
Ye Xiaotian said categorically: "The money hasn't been shipped yet!"
When he said this, he kept staring at Guan Xiaokun's expression change. Guan Xiaokun did not disappoint him. The panic at that moment fell into Ye Xiaotian's eyes. Ye Xiaotian was determined and said to Kuai Peng: "It will never be wrong , the money is still in the Baishan Tower!"
Kuai Peng is now impressed by Ye Xiaotian's five bodies, and immediately ordered: "Search for me again, put Liang on and off the bed, don't let go of even a toilet, search carefully for me."
The Jinyi school captain was not convinced by Ye Xiaotian's words. When it comes to house raiding, no one is better than their Jinyiwei, and they just searched according to the standard of house raiding. How could they miss something, but Baihu adults have already ordered , had no choice but to lead the people back upstairs again.
Zhang Hongyan waved his arms and said, "Old Qiao, Jun Yang, bring your people, let's search together!"
"You... you, why, what qualifications do you have..." Guan Xiaokun said in a panic, but his confidence was seriously lacking, and he could no longer play any role.
"Search, search the latrine for me too, and stir it up with a pole!" Kuai Peng really planned to dig three feet. But this time, my younger brother will do it for me, so I don't need him to go to stir the cesspit himself.
At the door of the kitchen, Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei stood side by side, looking into the kitchen. The area of the big kitchen in Baishan Building is quite large, almost equivalent to one-third of the area in front of the hall. There are more than 50 stoves. Because it is not meal time, there are only more than 20 fires at this time, and some cooks and helpers are preparing Dishes, various ingredients are placed on the chopping board and water table.
Ye Xiaotian came over, looked into the kitchen, and asked, "Have you searched here?"
Mao asked Zhizhi: "Not yet, how can the money not be hidden in such a place?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "If you don't search, how will you know? You won't miss any place, search!"
"Okay!" Mao Wenzhi rolled up his sleeves and walked in with Hua Yunfei. A chef said unhappily, "What are you doing? Why are you rummaging in the kitchen?"
Immediately, a Jin Yiwei went up to meet him, flipped his wrist, showed his waist card, and said: "Jin Yiwei takes the thief, stop talking nonsense, and go away!"
"Jin Yiwei took the thief?" The chef looked at Mao Wenzhi in astonishment and opened a large drawer with a "crash", put his hands in it, and rummaged through the frozen fresh fish, where even a dwarf could not hide .
Ye Xiaotian walked in and slowly looked around. He hadn't eaten anything since breakfast, and suddenly saw a plate of fried meatballs, picked up two and threw them into his mouth, and suddenly noticed that a slop bucket next to him was empty. Yes, Ye Xiaotian pointed to the slop bucket, and while chewing meatballs, he said vaguely to a helper: "Why is the slop bucket in your kitchen empty? Is there no business during the day?"
The gang worker said: "Our Baishan Building's business is very good, how could there be no business, the swill has just been transported away."
Ye Xiaotian frowned, and said, "Is it time to transport swill?"
The gang said: "Recently, there are strict inspections when entering and leaving the city, so the swill collectors sometimes arrive in the evening."
"Oh!" Ye Xiaotian picked up another meatball and threw it into his mouth. Suddenly, he noticed that two helpers were carrying a slop bucket and just opened the back door of the kitchen.
The helper who answered said, "Yes!"
Ye Xiaotian noticed his fleeting nervousness, and suddenly his heart moved, he immediately patted Hua Yunfei on the shoulder, and shouted to Mao Wenzhi: "This way, hurry up!" After speaking, he hurried to the back door of the kitchen .
There were several donkey carts parked in the alley outside the back door, and there were some slop buckets on the carts, and the grooms stood aside with whips. There were more than 20 slop buckets on the ground, and several Zuixianlou guys were working together to lift them up and put them on the car with difficulty.
Ye Xiaotian rushed out the back door, seeing this situation, shouted: "Don't carry it away! Put down all the swill!"
Those guys suddenly saw several people rushing out from the back door, including two Jin Yiwei, they couldn't help but panic. A Jin Yiwei rushed up and scolded: "Damn, do you have donkey hair stuffed in your ears? Didn't you hear our orders? Put the bucket down!"
After finishing speaking, the captain in Jinyi raised his leg and kicked it on the slop bucket. The two people who were carrying the swill bucket let out a groan, and the slop bucket in their hands fell down and turned over on the ground. The swill flowed all over the floor, and silver ingots scattered out of the bucket.
Mao Wenzhi smiled and said: "Ha, I found it! I found it!"
At this time, Guan Xiaokun also followed out from the back door. Seeing this situation, he turned around and ran away. Ye Xiaotian shouted: "Grab him! Look at Yinzi!" Ye Xiaotian hastily said these words, and he and Hua Yunfei chased after Guan Xiaokun.
Guan Xiaokun fled along the long water trail, throwing large bowls of fresh fish and vegetables at Ye Xiaotian and Hua Yunfei behind him, preventing them from chasing, and fled into the hall in a panic, where Kuai Peng was standing with a knife Looking left and right in the hall, I suddenly heard Ye Xiaotian shouting from a distance: "Grab him!"
Kuai Peng looked up and saw Guan Xiaokun fleeing in panic from behind, and immediately went up to meet him. Seeing this, Guan Xiaokun panicked and fled along the stairs on one side to the second floor. See Zhang Hongyan and Qiao Zhenhua coming down from upstairs.
Guan Xiaokun fled left and right like a trapped animal, but it was a pity that there were Zhang Hongyan brothers and Jin Yiwei's people in all directions, and was finally forced to flee to the stage, surrounded by Zhang Hongyan and others who were gradually approaching. Guan Xiaokun's face was pale, his head covered in cold sweat, and he said in a trembling voice: "I... I... what are you guys doing?"
Ye Xiaotian caught up and said loudly: "The silver is found! He did it!"
When Zhang Hongyan and the others heard this, they immediately glared at Guan Xiaokun fiercely. Zhang Hongyan rolled up his sleeves and grinned at Guan Xiaokun: "Guan, you have the guts! Tell me, do you want to die now... or do you want to die?" Woolen cloth?"
