After all, if this is really done, the insiders will be so panicked that everyone will be in danger, which will seriously affect Guochanglong's business. But there is so much money involved, if we don't check it carefully, I'm afraid As the master, Shen Ao will not give in.
Rather than letting others bring it up, it is better to say it yourself first. It is best to put the investigation power into your own hands. In this way, you can calm everyone's mood as much as possible. In fact, Fan Bai doesn't think this matter is serious. It's difficult to investigate, and it always takes time to commit a crime. You just need to eliminate them one by one, ask everyone where they went last night, what kind of witnesses they have, and then confirm them one by one. You can narrow down the scope of the investigation and finally find someone. The person who committed the crime.
Shen Ao didn't know what Fan Bai was thinking, and he was too lazy to guess. At this time, his nostrils twitched slightly, and then his eyes slowly raised, and after scanning around the room, he revealed a A thoughtful expression.
"My lord, what do you think of my proposal just now?" Seeing that Shen Ao didn't speak for a long time, Fan Bai thought that the other party was angry, so he wanted to explain a few words.
"Oh, no need. No matter who did it, he must have his own reasons. In order to strengthen the prevention in the future, we can also bring forty small bags of iodized salt from the No. 2 warehouse to make up for the deficit first, and then Just ask someone to sign for it." Shen Ao shook his head, and then he showed a picture of big things being reduced to small things. He is now in charge of Guochanglong, including the number of items in the warehouse, which needs to be proofread every day. Now the warehouse needs to be used He only needed to sign for eight pounds of iodized salt. As for the loss, even if it belonged to Guo Changlong, neither the emperor nor the eldest princess would say anything because of this trivial matter.
"No." Hearing Shen Ao's answer, Fan Bai was a little surprised. But it wouldn't be a bad thing if he didn't continue the investigation. Everyone can continue to do things as before. As for the person who committed the crime, I hope he gets it. You can stop after the benefits.
Of course, Fan Bai will also strengthen the management of warehouse No. 3 and will not allow such a thing to happen again. Otherwise, even if Shen Ao doesn't say anything, he will not be able to explain it to the eldest princess and the emperor.
It was like an early morning episode, causing no disturbance at all. When the time came, the Guochanglong General Store opened its door, and everything was as before. Even many of the clerks didn't know about it.
Not far away, a short man saw that Guochanglong's main store opened on time, and after the customers who came to pick up goods also got what they needed and left, he quietly disappeared on the street. .
Soon after, the figure returned to the inn, and the news was soon known to the head of the mission, Yamada Shinichi.
"Youxi, Mr. Guan Yuan, you have done a good job in this matter. You will definitely be rewarded when you return to the country. I just hope to keep up the good work. After all, we will stay here for a while." Holding the snow-like gift in his hand. Refined salt, Yamada Shinichi said with a blush on his face.
Forty small bags of iodized salt were all placed beside the table, some of which had been scattered. These were the items stolen from the Guochanglong General Store last night.
The reason why there are only forty small bags is that it is limited by the size of the monkey. The monkey is still too thin and small, and it cannot carry too much at one time. Eight pounds is already the limit for it.
The one who was praised was Kitamura Toda, who tamed the monkeys. At this time, he looked proud, proud of his masterpiece. Now after hearing the praise from Yamada Shinichi, he even spoke with a slightly excited tone. He said: "Captain Yamada, please rest assured. We will take action tonight. We will try to make more trips and bring back more."
"Youxi!" Yamada Shinichi laughed with satisfaction. Thinking that the Dagan people had spread so many benefits of iodized salt, when he returned to Japan, he would definitely give this to the king and the ministers. It will be praised and even reused.
There was laughter like satisfaction in the post hall, some excited and some excited. In contrast, the Hanlin Academy was shrouded in a cloud of sadness at this time.
After the Japanese mission left yesterday, they left the Nine Rings in the court hall. When they went to court, Yan Fu personally handed the Nine Rings to Wang Feng and said that the emperor was waiting for good news from him. He also said that the sooner the better, the better. The faster it proves the intelligence of the Daqian people, the more it proves the ignorance of the Japanese island nation.
At that time, Wang Feng was very ambitious and full of confidence. After returning to the Hanlin Academy, he stayed behind closed doors and began to study. He had thought before that he should be able to untie it by nightfall. Otherwise, it would be a few nights at night. It's just hours.
But reality slapped him in the face. One night passed, and the Nine Links were still not solved, and Wang Feng denied all previous solutions. He was mercilessly hit by the last possibility, and found that there was still a solution. After not opening it, Wang Feng, who had not eaten, drank or rested for ten hours, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then he fainted on the ground with a plop.
The noise coming from the room quickly woke up his colleagues, and the news spread, and even the emperor knew about it. Emperor Qianwen was dissatisfied, and ordered other ministers to go to the Hanlin Academy. Without Wang Feng, I hope other ministers can think of a solution. In short, we must not let the Japanese junior high officials see the big officials.
Yesterday was the imperial court, and there was no court meeting today. The ministers who got the news rushed over, and then played with the nine-link chain one by one, verifying the solutions that they had thought of before, one by one, and then one by one. Suffering a blow, one by one finally changed from being full of confidence to being filled with sadness.
One after another, the ministers tried it, but later expressed their inability to do anything. Among them were some who thought they were talented. When the disappointing news came to the Yangxin Hall one after another, Emperor Qianwen was not in the mood to review the excerpts. Yan Fu and others visited the Hanlin Academy in person.
At this time, most of the important ministers and some young officials of the court were gathered here. After seeing the emperor's arrival, they fell to their knees.
Emperor Qianwen seemed to have not seen the courtiers kneel down, but said in a cold voice, "My beloved sirs, you are all the smartest people in the Daqian Dynasty. Isn't there anyone among you who can unlock this thing?"
Facing Emperor Qianwen's questioning, all the ministers remained silent, no longer showing the arrogant look of looking down on the people of the world as they did in the court yesterday.
"What? No one answered me?" After watching for a long time, no one said a word. Emperor Qianwen was really angry. Not only did his tone of voice rise a bit, but the way he looked at people also became a bit sharper. in.
Among the ministers, Fan Shitong, the left servant, Bailigui, the right servant, and Du Jin, a Hanlin scholar known as the internal minister, received the strongest gaze from Emperor Qianwen.
Du Jin felt the pressure and slowly raised his head to see Emperor Qianwen looking towards him. He knew that this matter could not be avoided. He secretly sighed in his heart that Wang Feng was so bold and made things so bad. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this object is not difficult to solve. As long as the method is right, it is very possible to solve it. But it will take time. Now it seems that its complexity is far beyond everyone's imagination." Imagine that it will be difficult to solve the three-day period."
After listening to Du Jin's answer, Emperor Qianwen still looked unkind.
What is called unraveling is still possible. Didn't the Japanese envoys say that they can unravel it after half a month of research. I believe that once the Daqian Dynasty cannot do it, they will definitely set an example. This is not just saying it. Big talk can fool the past.
Now that it can be solved, of course we have to find enough ways. The problem now is the time limit. He has already listened to Wang Feng's words and boasted in front of the Japanese envoys that Haikou can be solved in three days. Does it mean that it can be solved in three days? Made a mistake in public?
In this case, where is the reputation of the Daqian Dynasty? How can it be called the country of the heaven and the state?
Thinking that he must not lose face for this matter, Emperor Qianwen simply pointed his finger at Du Jin, and his servants on the left and right said: "That's it. I will leave this matter to the three of you. In short, it will be resolved at the meeting the day after tomorrow. Open this thing. I don’t care what methods you have. If you do it well, I will reward you. If you don’t do it well, you will be punished heavily. Hum!"
After Emperor Qianwen finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and came out, and Yan Fu's shout immediately rang out, "Your Majesty, please drive to the Yangxin Palace."
Emperor Qianwen then left, leaving Du and Jin alone. You looked at me, and I looked at you, with bitter expressions on their faces.
It is said that haste makes waste. If you want them to achieve results in such a short period of time, everyone will inevitably be anxious. If so, the effect will be even worse.
Everyone understands the truth, but this is the order of the emperor. Who has the brains to dare to resist the order? In the end, you look at me, I look at you, and with a sigh, the Nine Links are like a peerless treasure. , and was held in hands by everyone as if they were scrambling for it.
Opportunities are often accompanied by challenges. If anyone can solve the Nine Links in a short period of time, he will definitely receive the attention of the emperor, and it is not impossible to achieve success in the future.
For the sake of their future, everyone had to try their best at this time. But it only lasted for half an hour, and there were lamentations one after another. It was obvious that all the attempts had failed. .
It soon came to night again.
There was a light rain in Daliang City during the day today. It is said that one autumn rain and another cold weather, the weather is gradually getting colder, and there are fewer people walking on the streets.
The weather quickly darkened, and in the dark night, a shadow flashed past so fast that even if someone saw it accidentally, they would just think they were dazzled and hallucinating.
The country is prosperous.
Eight pounds of iodized salt was lost last night. Although Shen Ao did not punish anyone, as the night watchman who knew the news, he was more careful and patrolled more frequently.
