Chapter 326 Evidence
According to what Zhang and Gan found out, the twenty-one storage bags in the Jingxi Army's supply camp that had records of entering and leaving the warehouse were extremely suspicious. But trying to verify the eventual flow has been problematic.
Because although Zhang and Gan have been in the army for half their lives and have a lot of contacts, they are only deputy thousand households of the fifth rank in the final analysis, and they are also deputy thousand households of the local garrison. These are pretty much their limit so far.
"What about the frontier army? Can you check something out?"
"This can't give you a guarantee, you can only try it."
"Okay, then continue to work hard, two big brothers."
"It's okay. It's just a pity that the two of us are not very capable, so we can't continue to explore." Zhang Qian also knew that they only found half of the matter, and they found the suspicious point, but they missed it so much that they couldn't put the matter on hold. Reality. It's like doing something halfway.
So Zhang and Gan are a little apologetic.
"The news from the frontier army will also trouble the two elder brothers. As for the Jingxi army, I will think of another way."
After chatting for a few more words, Zhang and Gan got up and went out, saying they were going to ask Tang Qingyuan if he wanted to drink flower wine.
Shen Hao was still in the study, putting the copper bars that Zhang Qian and Gan Lin found into the storage bag, and then asked Xiao Ma to call in Wang Jian and Zhang Liao from outside.
It was rare that Wang Jian was not drunk today. Although his face was red with wine, his eyes were still clear.
Needless to say about Zhang Liao, Shen Hao already knew that he was a good drinker when he was in Licheng, and he couldn't drink enough tonight.
"Who else is there?" Shen Hao asked Wang Jian to add some hot water, and asked casually.
"Zhang Qianhu and Gan Qianhu took Mr. Tang away, and there were a few small flags from the Black Flag Camp. The others also left. Adjutant Wang was drunk, and the two brothers from Qianhusuo sent He came home."
"Is it just the two of you?"
"Yes my lord."
Shen Hao took a sip of tea and pointed to the chair beside him for the two to sit down, then said: "Zhang Liao, we haven't seen each other for a while, I heard from Chen Tianwen earlier that you've been muddling along lately?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao nodded at him in the first sentence, quickly put down his teacup, stood up and bowed and said, "The subordinates are panicked, but without your leadership, they always feel that doing things is boring."
After waving his hands, Zhang Liao is not a glib person, he likes to stammer when he gets excited. Moreover, what he said just now was a bit dissatisfied with Chen Tianwen's meaning, and it would not be a good thing to let it out.
"I don't need to make detours here, and I don't need any scene talk. Wang Jian can lead you here, I didn't drive you away, I just want to hear what you have to say to me, so don't hesitate, man, hurry up."
Zhang Liao opened his mouth a few times, and finally said: "I, I want to follow your lord, and I don't want to stay in Licheng."
Although his words are not as sharp as Wang Jian's, Zhang Liao is not stupid. He wants to continue to climb up like Wang Jian, knowing that there is basically no hope on his own. He can only find a backer, and Shen Hao is the only one he can find. As a backer, I naturally want to keep up.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Liao came here today to stand in line.
This reminded Shen Hao of the past when he found Wang Jian's family to connect with Zhang Qian and Gan Lin, and then used Zhang Qian and Gan Lin to stand in line with Jiang Cheng.
"Follow me? Do you want to be promoted like Wang Jian?"
Zhang Liao nodded without denying it.
"Haha, interesting. How about this, you come to Fengri City to take the job of inspecting the small flag officer like Wang Jian, let Wang Jian tell you the specifics of what you are doing. But I will tell you the ugly things first, after you come here You must keep your mouth shut. If you leak any secrets, you can’t be punished if you die alone, and the whole family can’t die too much. Do you understand?"
This Wang Jian had talked to Zhang Liao before, and mentioned that the level of secrecy in Fengri City was much higher than that of the Black Flag Camp in Licheng, and Zhang Liao was mentally prepared. So he knelt down on one knee and said loudly that he would not let Shen Hao down.
"Let's do it. It was Wang Jian's recommendation that you were elected as the small flag officer of the second flag in Licheng. Now he brought you to me. You are also destined. I hope you will cooperate tacitly in the future and don't make any troubles." What's dirty."
After saying this, Wang Jian quickly knelt down on one knee, promising that he would never do any stupid things involving internal waste in the future, please rest assured Shen Hao.
The next day, Shen Hao went to the office as usual and asked the concierge to find Wang Yiming.
"grown ups."
"You are familiar with people in the imperial city. Go to the teleportation circle over there personally. I want to check all the records of passing through the magic circle with the waist badge of the Ministry of War between November 25 and the end of December."
"My lord, this kind of matter can be investigated directly through normal channels. The teleportation circle is under the joint management of the local government and the guards. They dare not help, and"
Shen Hao waved his hand, interrupted Wang Yiming, and said, "If you can make it public, you don't need to bother. If you investigate secretly, the news must not be leaked."
Wang Yiming's heart moved, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely give you a confirmation letter within three days."
"Well, go, don't make any publicity."
Wang Yiming left in a hurry, but Shen Hao was still not sure. Although the doubts about the storage bag are possible now, there is no way to draw a conclusion, and the possibility of verifying it from the outside is too low. The only way is to continue to move forward from other directions according to the news that Zhang Qian and Gan Lin have confirmed.
Normally, if all official organizations need to use the teleportation circle for official business, they will go through a special channel, which is faster and does not need to wait for the scheduled teleportation time. The special channel will be eligible to register for filing because it will consume additional spirit stones.
If the batch of storage bags taken away from the Jingxi Army went to the Magic Artifact Department of the Imperial City, it would definitely leave a record of personnel exchanges on the teleportation circle of the Imperial City, and there would be objective rationality in terms of time . If there is no record or if the time does not match the entry and exit records of the storage bag, then it can support Shen Hao's guess.
And it didn't take three days at all, just two days, that is, the new year, on the third day of January in the twenty-ninth year of the old Jing calendar, Wang Yiming returned from the imperial city with news.
"My lord, this is the registration status of all the soldiers going out and returning from the Imperial City Teleportation Circle during the period from November 25th to the end of December last year. These are all secretly transcribed by the subordinates, and the news will never be leaked .”
After Shen Hao took it, he immediately opened it to read, scrolling down one by one, and soon a smile appeared on his face.
According to the information brought back by Zhang Qian and Gan Lin, the twenty-one storage bags in the Jingxi Army's supply camp were registered and released at noon on November 29 last year, and the time when Ma San learned that the transaction was not included was On November 25th, so if there is a connection between the two, then no matter how fast or slow, the people from the Ministry of War who came to raise storage bags must set off from the imperial city between these two time points.
And according to the route and the time-consuming return time, he must return to the imperial city after the third or fourth day of December.
It is only valuable if these two time nodes are met at the same time.
Coincidentally, in the transcription brought back by Wang Yiming, there happened to be such two people whose entry and exit time could meet the requirements.
