Chapter 2191 Hong Jian who escaped
With the clues provided by Hong Jian, Lin Fei finally arrested Hong Jian after careful arrangements.
Lin Fei said with some admiration: "I really didn't expect him to pretend to be an old beggar. If the wife wasn't powerful, we would let him escape."
Qingshu smiled and didn't say anything.
The Thousand-Faced Fox asked strangely: "Madam, how do you know that the man in the government office is not Hong Jian but a substitute? The prefect has proved that he is a good person."
Qingshu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just think it's too easy to catch this person. What's more important is that he is a famous miser of wealth and death so easily."
Lin Fei and Qianmian Hu looked at each other, not understanding what this said.
Qingshu smiled and said, "The master has a younger brother who loved money as if he was poor when he was a child. Do you know how much? You have to hold gold at night to sleep well."
She was talking about Twelve. This guy is like Hong Jian. He doesn't think about taking out the money in his pocket, and he likes to exchange silver or copper plates for gold. According to him, he can only feel at ease when he looks at the shining gold. Of course, Twelve is just too poor when he was a child. It is okay to have a shadow character, and even a copper plate that does not belong to him will not reach out.
"So the lady suspected that Hong Jian was pretending to die from the beginning?"
Qingshu shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I suspected it when I only found a little bit of silver and a few antique calligraphy and paintings from the Hong family. It's too unreasonable."
"But everyone around him said that the money was used to buy industries in other places, and the shopkeepers of Huitong Money House have confirmed it."
The reason why I checked the shopkeeper of Huitong Money Bank is that it is not safe to carry a lot of gold and silver in other places, so everyone will go to the money bank to exchange it for silver notes. Of course, the handling fee is required.
Qingshu looked at Lin Fei and said with a smile: "I don't care what others say. Anyway, I will investigate it if it doesn't fit the common sense."
At that time, she just asked someone to check Hong Jian's life, and then found that this guy's childhood experience was very similar to Twelve, and his family was so poor that he was very poor. However, the difference between him and Twelve was that both of them were caught in the fierce battle. Twelve was seen by Jingen and accepted as his younger brother, while Hong Jian was taken by a thug in the gambling house and brought by him.
After staying in a place like a gambling shop for a long time, few people can maintain their original intentions, not to mention that he is already full of hostility, so Hong Jian was soon stained by this big dyeing vat.
Qianwei Fox asked curiously: "Madam, why do you know that restaurants and flower buildings will make fake accounts?"
"It is impossible for people like him to be willing to give so much profit to others, so I think he should be making fake accounts and concealing some of the money."
The fact is just as she guessed that Hong Jian was indeed looking for someone to make fake accounts, but the person he was looking for was too high and even the old accountant Hu Bensong found was fooled.
It sounds very reasonable, but after the prefect found out that he was aware of his true self, no one thought about fake death. After all, the other party committed suicide by taking poison instead of being burned to death, and his face was not deformed and his body was still difficult to hide the marks from the government.
"Madam, why do you think there is a clue in Hu Bensong?"
None of the four confidants around Hong Jian said valuable clues, and the same is true for her.
Qingshu glanced at her and said, "You are all members of Feiyuwei, it should be clear that Feiyuwei people all have a fatal weakness."
The two of them knew what she was referring to when they heard it. The biggest weakness of the Feiyuwei people is that they are suspicious, so it is difficult to truly believe in a person. Those business profits are so amazing, how could Hu Bensong leave them to Hong Jian without caring about anything? With his suspicious nature, he would definitely send someone to secretly supervise his every move.
People need to grow. At the beginning, Hong Jian was definitely not as cunning and harmonious as he later, so some secrets he didn't want people to know would definitely be mastered by Hu Bensong. Because the two had a harmonious relationship, Hu Bensong did not break up with him, so Hong Jian didn't know that his thoughtful plan had such a big mistake.
Lin Fei sincerely exclaimed: "Madam, you are so awesome."
The Thousand Faces Fox agreed with this. The wife was meticulous, so she found Hong Jian.
Qingshu smiled and said, "It's nothing to just catch Hong Jian, it's amazing to let him spit out the hidden gold and silver."
Lin Fei nodded and said, "Madam, don't worry, Cui Ji will definitely pry his mouth open."
There has not been one who has been unable to confess under Cui Ji for so many years, so Lin Fei is very confident in him.
This time, Cui Ji did not disappoint everyone's expectations. After a long time, Hong Jian finally found the place where the treasure was hidden, and the gold and silver were hidden in the dilapidated temple where he lived these days.
Lin Fei brought people to the dilapidated temple, moved the statue of Guan Gong in the dilapidated temple as Hong Jian said, and then went down from the exposed opening.
When we got to the bottom, there were two mechanisms, both of which were relatively rough and Lin Fei avoided them in a moment.
As soon as I got down, I saw that the ground was full of gold and silver, and there was also a pile of jewelry. Yes, it was piled on the ground instead of in boxes.
The Thousand-faced Fox exclaimed a little, "Madam is really amazing. Gold and silver are hidden under his head, and he sleeps on his head. This is no different from sleeping with gold and silver."
Lin Fei didn't blink. It was the first time she had seen so much gold and silver in almost thirty years, which made her more knowledgeable.
Seeing her stunned, the Thousand-faced Fox pushed her down and said, "You have to go find the box quickly, put the gold and silver on a seal and take it away."
Fortunately, Feiyuwei copied Hu Bensong and Qiu Wen's family these days, so many camphor wood boxes were stored in the warehouse.
It was not until the evening that the gold, silver and jewelry were transported back to Feiyuwei. Lin Fei and Qingshu said: "Madam, the thirty-nine boxes of gold and gold made of utensils totaled 196,510 taels, the silver was eighteen boxes totaling 125,960 taels, and five boxes of jewelry and jade."
According to Hong Jian's confession, he put these gold, silver and jewelry in it himself without making a fake hand. This secret cellar was discovered when he was wandering before. The statue of Guan Gong has a mechanism and its location is hidden. Most people are very respectful of the statue and will not touch him, so no one has discovered it so far. Of course, he was wary of being accidentally discovered by someone and he had also made two mechanisms inside. If he accidentally entered, he would definitely die if he didn't take any precautions.
Lin Fei's eyes were all shiny, and she said, "Madam, we can make a lot of money this time."
Qingshu glanced at her and said, "This is the money from the court and has nothing to do with us."
The money must be escorted back to Beijing. However, the person who escorted was personally pointed out by the emperor, otherwise it would be her responsibility if something happened halfway through. Losing so much money is a serious crime, so she has already written a letter back to Beijing to ask Duan Boyang to ask him to send someone.
Lin Fei was in a very good mood and said with a smile: "Madam, I know I want to enter the treasury, but in my lifetime I can see such gold and silver as I get old and I can brag to my children and grandchildren."
Qingshu glanced at her and said with a smile: "What's there to brag about here? Hurry up and go and do the job."
