Chapter 1785 The Tool Man Your Majesty Calls
One tael of silver is not much, but it is a huge fortune for these poor people.
This is also the best motivation.
Immediately, a man stood up. He was a tanned man wearing ragged clothes.
"Er Gen and I have worked together as a team. Er Gen usually doesn't talk much and works very neatly. He has a good relationship with Nan Wa, who is in the same team."
"Nanwa?"
Guan Ning turned to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan also immediately understood that when they were first divided into groups, there were five people in a group. Now there are three people. Where are the other two?
"I'm with...them."
At this time, a young man who was rather thin and not very old came out.
"The foreman of our team is Ergen. I am actually not familiar with him. It's just that he doesn't talk to others, but he occasionally talks to me, and others think he has a good relationship with me."
The young man named Nanwa is a little bit Vino.
Zhao Nanxing asked directly: "You are in a group, where were you when we were digging the slabs?"
"We are two earth movers, and we do different jobs."
Another team member was found.
"We really don't know him well. We can't speak a word for a day. He never smiles. We are all afraid of him."
"Is there anything suspicious about him?"
"I know one thing, but I don't know if it counts."
Nanwaweino said: "When Ergen was working today, I saw a cloth bag tied to his waist. It should contain the white phosphorus that Your Majesty mentioned."
This young man is quite clever.
Although it was not considered useful information, Guan Ning decided to give him a tael of silver in order to motivate others.
"Make a note of it for him. When the wages are paid this month, I'll give him an extra tael."
Hearing this, Nan Wavinuo's face showed a look of excitement.
This is indeed a good incentive.
"You all think carefully. As long as it is useful, you can get more money."
Zhao Nanxing already understands His Majesty's intention. This is indeed a good method. As long as it is done, there will be no clues.
He believed that there must be an accomplice here, who would take the opportunity to disturb people's hearts after it was completed.
Seeing that Nan Wa had gotten the money, everyone became anxious and rushed to the front one by one, talking nonsense.
There are many people who talk nonsense and take advantage of the opportunity to make money, but you can also find useful information.
For example, who has worked in this area, the daily work is arranged by the big foreman and divided into sections. This is to improve efficiency and facilitate labor calculation.
So the number of people who come here is limited, so the scope is divided.
You picked me and you really found everyone. There were fifty-three people in total.
Those who have been here before are naturally more suspicious.
"I know who brought this stone."
Suddenly someone spoke loudly.
"Who is it?"
Zhao Nanxing's eyes lit up.
"It's him!"
The man pointed at one of the fifty-three people.
"I remembered."
"Originally, this stone slab was to be laid on the edge of the river. But when he brought it here, he said he wanted to ram the soil. I was thinking, how can I use the stone slab to ram the soil?"
Following his identification, Guan Ning looked over.
This is a young man with the same dark skin and wearing an undershirt. He is obviously very uncomfortable under the gaze of many people.
Guan Ning noticed that he was evasive and his fingers were subconsciously playing with his trouser legs.
This is basically a sign of guilty conscience.
The first suspect comes out!
Guan Ning gave a signal with his eyes. Jiang Zhixin understood and immediately prepared to go there with a few people.
This person obviously had a poor mental quality and ran away when people came around him.
Okay, now it’s time to put the hammer down.
Guan Ning is happy.
Where can he run to?
Sure enough, he didn't run a few steps before he was intercepted and captured by soldiers from the perimeter.
"Check if there are any hidden poisons in your lower teeth."
Guan Ning was worried that this was a dead ringer and he would commit suicide by taking poison.
"Why run?"
"Don't kill me, I'll kill you."
The man's body was trembling and he said hurriedly: "It's Hu Biao. He gave me three taels of silver and asked me to bring the stone slab here."
It turned out that he was hired with money.
"Who is Hu Biao?"
This man's eyes scanned the crowd, and within a moment, another person tried to run out.
He also didn't escape and was quickly brought over.
"He's not hiding any drugs."
He's not Deadpool, and he's not professional either.
"Tell me, why did you ask him to bring this stone slab?"
Guan Ning looked at the restrained middle-aged man and said coldly: "Now you say you can suffer less. You know very well that I have many ways to make you speak."
"Hmph, you already know, do you need me to say more?"
He showed his true colors.
This shocked everyone.
It turned out that it was really done by humans.
"Who asked you to do this?"
Guan Ning said: "You are responsible for transporting the stone. You specially set aside this stone slab because it is convenient for writing. In order not to attract people's attention, you specially found someone to put it over."
"The simpler it is, the less likely it is to be discovered. There should be one or more people in each link. If you have a slate, you still have to write. The words are not written by you."
Guan Ning analyzed.
"You don't have many chances to commit the crime. At most, it will be completed within the past two or three days, or even not yet."
"After the words are written, you find someone to put them here, and then find an opportunity to bury the two... Tell me, who wrote the words?"
He kept silent.
"Okay, it's okay if you don't tell me. I'll find it myself."
He turned to the crowd and asked loudly: "Who can write, or do you know anyone who can write?"
The circled area is the people here, so it is easy to find them.
The laborers are all poor people. Not to mention writing, there are only a handful of people who are literate.
Being able to carve words on a stone slab to such a square and square level is not something that ordinary people can do...
The workers looked at each other but remained silent. They didn't know who could write. They were all rough guys.
At this time, a weak voice sounded.
"The big foreman can write."
As soon as these words came out, many people suddenly realized.
"Yes, the big foreman can write, and he seems to be pretty good at it."
"No, it can't be the big foreman."
Guan Ning turned to what they called the big foreman and the person in charge of this area, Lao Fan!
"Your Majesty, Lao Fan can't be that. He is an old man from the Water Transport Department."
Chen Xuan shook his head and said.
"It's precisely because he is from the Water Transport Department that he is suspicious!"
Guan Ning's words made Chen Xuan and others stunned. It had been almost three years, and they had all forgotten that the Water Transport Department was involved in the first assassination of His Majesty.
After that, a big purge was carried out in the Water Transport Department. Could it be that something slipped through the net?
"Find a stone slab and let him carve words on it."
Guan Ning stared at Lao Fan closely.
Under such gaze, Fan Yong's honest and honest expression gradually faded away, and turned into one that was complex and contained a bit of aggrievedness.
With deep doubts, he asked something that touched everyone deeply.
"Why do you know so much?"
