More than twenty days passed in a flash. Third senior brother Wu Yunlei returned from Yangkou Town to report the situation, while second senior brother Zhao Shuangyan continued to stay in Yangkou Town to monitor Ma Xiangyun's every move.

"After arriving in Yangkou Town, I saw that Ma Xiangyun did not behave abnormally. After discussing with my second senior brother, I hurriedly went to Yangkou Town to explore the route leading to Benmaling. We spent more than ten days

Later he returned to Yangkou Town.

This route into the mountain starts from the northeast of Yangkou Town, crosses the Benma River in a circuitous way, ascends Benma Ridge from a narrow ravine in Benma Ridge, and then turns right before crossing Benma Ridge.

.

The entire route is relatively hidden and not that difficult to walk, but it is definitely not passable by a carriage, and it is very difficult even with a horse, so there are not many people walking this route.

After we crossed Benmaling, we entered the ravine behind Benmaling, but we could only vaguely see that someone had entered the mountain through this route, and there was more than one such route into the mountain, and there were many different routes along the way.

Fork in the road.

Preliminary estimates are that they are traces left by hunters who went into the mountains to hunt, so they appear to be a bit shaky. There are no traces of large troops passing by, and all traces are gone after five or six miles of Benma Ridge.

Already.

From this route, it is really impossible to tell whether Gui Shatou sent people to travel this route, let alone whether Gui Shatou is hiding in the mountains behind Benma Ridge, because there is no sign that anyone has ever transported items.

.

Of course, even if there is, it will be covered with heavy snow. After such a long time, nothing can be seen at all. We can only judge based on our feelings and by picking up the floating snow on the surface.

Without any harvest, the second senior brother and I had no choice but to return to Yangkou Town and continue to monitor Ma Xiangyun. This time we monitored him day and night, for fear of losing any valuable clues.

However, Ma Xiangyun has always been normal, and no suspicious person has ever come to contact Ma Xiangyun. However, he later discovered that the cashier of Shunyi Grocery Store had left the store for several days, but he did not know where he went.

At first, we thought that he would go buy some goods, but when the accountant came back, he didn't see any goods coming into Shunyi Grocery Store, which aroused our suspicions.

According to what we have learned in the past, Mr. Ma Xiangyun’s accountant is not the den of the ghost barber arrangement. Generally speaking, Ma Xiangyun will not let him know about confidential matters, let alone important matters.

But this time it was different. Why did the accounting clerk leave for several days for no reason? He was neither going to contact business nor going out because of his own family matters. So what was he doing? This cannot but be doubted.

The trustee went to the accountant's home and inquired about it, and learned that the accountant had indeed been sent out by Ma Xiangyun to do something. His family didn't know what exactly he was going to do.

The second senior brother finally found out through the clerk of "Shunyi Grocery Store" that the accountant had gone to the countryside, where there was a warehouse of "Shunyi Grocery Store", which contained the grain stored by "Shunyi Grocery Store".

The shopkeeper sends the accountant to the warehouse there to hand over the grain to the buyer and customer. The money has been paid to the account. The accountant goes there to pay the grain and comes back after completing the handover with the customer.

This was quite a surprise. It turned out that Ma Xiangyun had hoarded grain in the countryside, and according to the store clerk, the quantity was quite large. He started to buy and store it after the autumn harvest last year.

But the store clerk couldn't tell exactly how many there were and what varieties they were. He only knew that there was a warehouse in the countryside, not close to Yangkou Town, and he usually hired a farmer from the countryside to look after it.

As for where the village is, the store clerk only knows that the village is called Daliangtuozi. The store clerk has no idea how to get there or how far it is because he has never been there.

After learning the news, the second senior brother immediately asked me to go to Daliangtuozi to see what was going on. He still stayed alone in Yangkou Town and continued to monitor Ma Xiangyun's every move.

Now that I knew the name of the village, I wandered around and found that village. However, this village was really not close to Yangkou Town, about 40 to 50 miles away, and it was a relatively large village.

After arriving at Daliangtuozi, I didn't have to go through much trouble to find the warehouse of "Shunyi Grocery Store" there. It was actually two relatively large granaries built in the yard of a farmer.

I entered this farmhouse for some reason, and learned through casual conversation that there was not much grain in the granary now. It had been taken away by buyers ten days ago, and a total of five large carriages were loaded.

Of course, the people guarding the warehouse did not even ask who was taking away the grain or where the buyer was. They just helped the accountant and weighed it before letting him go.

Because the "Shunyi Grocery Store" had something to say, the people who guarded the warehouse did not need to inquire about the details of their customers, so the farmer did not ask about it. They only needed to check the accurate payment amount, and they did not even know the price.

This time the grain payment was handled by the accountant. It was basically the same in the past. Shopkeeper Ma rarely came to handle it in person. After loading the grain, the carriage left, but it was definitely not in the direction of Yangkou Town.

The matter is urgent and very important. After I went back to Yangkou Town to report the situation to the second senior brother, the second senior brother asked me to come back quickly to report and listen to your instructions. He will continue to inquire about the situation."

After listening to the introduction of the third senior brother Wu Yunlei, Ru Feng and Ru Zhen were surprised and happy! Yes, this is an important situation. Ma Xiangyun actually built a warehouse in the countryside, and the stockpile was food. It was so unexpected.

.

The first thing that came to mind was that this batch of grain was probably prepared for the ghost shaver, and the people who came to collect the grain were probably the people sent by the ghost shaver to secretly transport the grain away.

But more than ten days have passed since the incident, and this group of people transporting food has probably disappeared without a trace. Now it is not easy to confirm whether this group of people is sent by the ghost shaver.

Based on the analysis of the time point of transporting the grain, this batch of grain should have been transported by Gui Shatou, and it is very likely that they had to transport it across the Benma River and then across the Benma Ridge.

Because the Benma River will be cultivated soon, and if you don't use this limited time, you will lose the opportunity, so Gui Shatou chose this time to transport the grain away, cross the Benma Ridge and enter the mountains.

But the person guarding the grain storage warehouse said that this group of grain-carrying carriages did not go to Yangkou Town. Does this mean that the route into the mountain that has been checked is not the route that the ghost shaver sent people to go out into the mountain?
