While drinking, Li Zhong told Su Jin apologetically about the situation of summoning the four major car dealers in the afternoon, and finally said: "Brother Su, is there something wrong with my judgment, or is there something wrong with the counts of the two hunters?"
Wrong, there are not that many big cars at all, just retail vehicles gathered in the city?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, let's drink first, eat and drink well, and then we can go find the owners of those car dealerships. Update the novel as soon as possible."
Li Chong said in surprise: "Brother Su, what do you mean...?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "The Dynasty has just told me all the situation. Orion Wang Wu and Li Hu's estimates are not wrong, and your analysis is also right. It is also right to start looking for clues from the cart, but the investigation
There are just some problems with the methods.”
Li Zhong said: "Oh? How to check?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "Of course there will be no results if you ask questions face to face. Think about it, hiring a truck to transport grain is a secret matter, how can it be publicized? When we change places, if I am the one who hires a truck to transport grain,
As a person, I will definitely use some means to teach the car dealer to keep secrets strictly, so if you ask this question, not only will you not make yourself famous, but you will scare off the snake."
Li Chong frowned and said: "This...could it be that the owner of the car dealer actually deceived me? Or maybe they simply knew that this was illegal, so they refused to say anything?"
Su Jin said: "The conclusion has not been finalized yet, so there is no need to make random guesses. Everything should be based on facts."
After eating and drinking, it was almost the first watch. Su Jin drank the wine in the cup, pushed it up and said: "Brother Zhaoting, it's time for us to set off. You ask a few government officials to lead the way. We will divide our troops into four groups to go to the four houses.
Let’s check it out at the dealership.”
Li Zhong said: "There are people leading the way. Now you can tell me how to find out."
Su Jin chuckled, stretched out his hand to summon the four men from the dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, and said: "Each of you will take a few brothers and follow Tian Chang's mission to the four car dealers. You don't need to alarm the people in the car dealers during the investigation. You only need to
Just find a place to park the car and the barn and do this and that; don't screw it up."
Wang Chao and others took the order and hurried away with four or five soldiers each following the official mission arranged by Li Zhong to lead the way.
Li Chong crossed his hands and said, "Brother Su, where should we go?"
Su Jin said: "Where is what going?"
Li Chong said in surprise: "Are we just going to sit here? Let's go take a look too."
Su Jin chuckled and said: "Brother Zhaoting, how can we treat guests without tea after the meal? After we finish eating and drinking, you must serve a cup of tea for your brother to take a few sips."
Li Chong said in astonishment: "Are we just sitting here drinking tea?"
Su Jin said: "Of course, it's not time for us to take action yet, don't say any more, your wine is bad wine, your mouth will be dry after drinking it, so quickly bring some tea to moisten your throat. After a while, you will have a headache and your throat will become hoarse. How can you ask the question?"
"
Li Chong had no choice but to order someone to remove the banquet and serve two cups of tea. The two of them drank tea and chatted about everyday things. Su Jin looked unhurried and unhurried, but Li Chong was absent-minded and kept looking out.
Look, looking forward to Wang Chao and others coming back soon.
For about an hour, Li Zhongru sat on pins and needles. He asked Su Jin several times, but Su Jin ignored him. After drinking one cup after another of tea and going to the toilet several times, he finally heard the sound of footsteps outside. Wang Chao and others
People came back one after another.
Su Jin stood up, straightened her clothes, walked to the door with her hands folded, and said, "Let's talk about it."
Wang Chao cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the Young Master, I went to the Jiang's Car Shop in Dongcheng. I looked at all the cars in the courtyard. They were covered with dust. There were many broken cars. The mules and horses in the stables were fed dry food.
forage."
Ma Han said: "I went to the Song family car dealership in Xicheng. The large cars were also lined up neatly, very orderly, but the situation was similar to what Chao Chao said."
Zhao Hu said: "I went to the Kong family car dealership in Nancheng. There are only a hundred or ten cars in the yard, not two hundred at all. However, the livestock of this family are well fed, and they actually have fine food to eat."
Zhang Long was the last one to report back: "Young master, I am incompetent and didn't even find a chance to get in. There were wind lanterns hanging in the yard of the Chen's Car Shop in Beicheng, and there were several guys walking around doing work. We were busy for a long time.
There was no way to sneak in. I was afraid that the young master would be anxious, so I hurried back first."
Zhao Hu, the powerful man of the dynasty, all looked at Zhang Long with disdain. Zhang Long was ashamed and said hurriedly: "Sir, I will go again soon, and I will definitely go in and investigate clearly."
Su Jin waved his hand and said: "No need, you did a good job. You would rather not go in than forcefully intrude and disturb the people. Besides, I already have a preliminary answer. This time let's go to the Chen's Automobile Dealership to have a look."
Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine Su Jin was selling in his gourd. Judging from his appearance, even if they asked, it would be in vain. They could only follow him. A group of dozens of people left the yamen and headed north on the narrow streets of the dark town.
And go.
Tianchang County is a small town, and it didn't take long to reach the Chen family car dealership. Su Jin stopped and stood on a high place in the shadows to look over the wall and look inside. As Zhang Long said, there were more than a dozen shopkeepers in the yard ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong.
They were working in full swing, and under the light of the wind lamp, it could be seen clearly that they were a group of carpenters repairing a large cart.
Su Jin glanced at Li Chong and said, "Brother Li, do you understand now?"
Li Chong's mind was full of confusion and he said: "This... I still don't understand."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Come with me, we will meet the Chen Dong family." After saying that, he stepped out of the dark place and walked towards the door of the garage. When he reached the courtyard door, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, saying loudly: "There is someone here."
Are you there?"
The sound of ping-pong inside stopped, and someone shouted: "Who is it? What's the matter?"
Su Jin shouted: "I'm here to discuss business. I have a batch of goods that I want to hire your car dealership's big truck to transport."
The person inside was silent for a long time and said: "Sir, our boss has gone to bed. We are all servants and we can't make the decision. Can you please come back early tomorrow morning?"
Su Jin said loudly: "In that case, I'll go find someone else. I have to rush this batch of goods, and I need a lot of cars. I can't wait until tomorrow morning."
The guys inside heard that they were using a lot of cars, and it seemed like it was a big deal. If the business went to other companies, the boss would have to fire them tomorrow. Even though the boss ordered that no one be allowed into the yard tonight, they should quickly move the big business.
The car is repaired, but when the business is gone, the owner will definitely not admit that it was his own order.
So he hurriedly said: "My lord, please go slowly. I will go and wake up my host. Please wait outside for a while."
Su Jin said: "Sure, hurry up, it's very cold outside."
The people inside agreed, and hurriedly lifted the broken carriage frame lying on the ground and placed it at the base of the wall, and then cleaned up the wood tools.
Su Jin and Li Zhong saw all this through the crack in the door. Li Zhong said softly: "Brother Su, why don't you just go in?"
Su Jin whispered: "How can we tell why they are repairing the frame if we go directly in? You see they put the frame away and hid it. Obviously they don't want us to know that they are repairing the car. What does this mean?"
Li Zhong blinked and said, "What does it mean?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "It means you feel guilty. Your attempt to frighten the enemy this afternoon worked."
Li Zhongdao: "You mean, this dealer repaired the car overnight to cover up something?"
Su Jin nodded and said: "Perhaps they are still preparing something. I can't completely conclude now. There will be branch teaching later."
Before Li Zhong could ask any more questions, he heard the sound of footsteps inside and someone opened the courtyard door with a creak. When he looked around, he was startled. There was a black shadow in front of his eyes. One of the two people standing face to face was a county official.
Your Excellency, you immediately panicked and bowed your hands repeatedly: "I don't know that the County Magistrate is here, so I am rude and rude."
Li Zhong said: "Can we go in and talk? Ask your Chen Dong family to come and talk."
The waiter said hurriedly: "My boss is up. Please come in quickly, the magistrate. I will go and report it now."
Su Jin turned around and said: "Guard the back of the courtyard gate and the back door, and no one is allowed in or out."
The man's face turned pale. He didn't know who this person was. But when he saw the two big men agreeing with their hands and leading a dozen soldiers around to the back door, his heart was pounding and he didn't dare to ask more questions. He led Li Chong
Then walked to the main house.
The lights in the car dealership were already on. When they heard that a big business was coming, Mr. Chen left the warm bed and quickly got dressed, tied up his hair and rushed to the hall regardless of the cold weather. However, when he saw Li Chong
, Chen Dongjia’s face immediately seemed to have been hit by a hailstorm, his nose was not a nose, his eyes were not eyes, and he was twitching uncomfortably.
However, this expression soon became like lingering snow under the bright sun, melting very quickly, and a smile instantly appeared on his face. He bowed his hands and said: "It turns out that it is County Magistrate Li who has arrived. He is really shining. This old man is being negligent. I am being negligent."
