Chapter 180 Thrilling Search
The fabric of this bag is ice silk, with a lot of golden embroidery and beautiful pearls, it looks very beautiful.
Everyone was admiring it when a large number of police officers rushed in, with knives on their waists, and their eyes were patrolling the store.
"Who is the shopkeeper?"
Hui Niang came out holding Gan Tian: "I am the shopkeeper."
The leading police officer looked at Hui Niang.
"Are you the shopkeeper?"
"Why does a woman not stay at home to take care of her husband and children and come out to do business?"
The contemptuous look was like a sharp blade, wanting to cut off the flesh of Hui Niang.
Hui Niang was calm.
"I wonder what the officials are doing here?"
"Miss Shuhua from Xingyuefang reported that someone from Huiyan Pavilion stole her things. We are here to search the place."
"You are joking, sir. I am a legitimate trader. When have I ever stolen anything?"
"Besides, they can't arrest me just because they say I stole something. At least they should produce evidence."
The officer looked at Hui Niang meaningfully and said, "Don't worry, we won't wrongly accuse you."
The officials searched Huiyan Pavilion and made a mess of the shop, but finally shook their heads.
"No."
"I don't have anything here either."
The leading officer looked very unhappy when he heard his men reporting back one by one.
Hui Niang said with a smile: "Official, why don't you tell me what exactly was lost from Xingyuefang, so that I can have a chance to prove my innocence."
The official straightened his chest and said: "What was lost from Xingyuefang is a new product they made, called the Heaven-Swallowing Bag."
Then the official took out the portrait: "This is it."
Gan Tian took a look and almost laughed to death.
What Heaven-Swallowing Bag? Isn't this the bag they just made?
The man just now was indeed from Xingyuefang.
Or Niang was smart, she realized that there was something wrong with the people in Xingyuefang, so she sent all the materials away.
"If you know what's going on, hand over this Heaven-Swallowing Bag obediently, if you don't, wait to be caught."
No wonder the man wanted to buy something that only Huiyan Pavilion had and no other store had as soon as he entered the store.
If no other store had the bag, it meant that no store could prove Huiyan Pavilion's innocence. Xingyuefang was a royal merchant, so who would believe that Xingyuefang would frame such a small store?
"I have never seen a Heaven-Swallowing Bag before. I think Xingyuefang made a mistake."
Hui Niang laughed and said, "Xingyuefang is a royal merchant. Who dares to steal their things?"
The officers didn't believe it and searched back and forth in the store, but they couldn't find the second bag.
"Just because it's not in the store doesn't mean it's not in your house. We are going to search your house now."
A trace of anger flashed in the officer's eyes, and he was about to have someone suppress Hui Niang.
The guards in front and behind the store immediately rushed up and confronted the officers.
They had all been on the battlefield, so they were naturally not afraid of these officers.
Feeling the murderous aura from the guards, the officers could not help but tighten their knives at their waists.
"Yu Wenhui!"
"Are you going to rebel?"
Hui Niang held Gan Tian and straightened her clothes, explaining with a smile: "The official really thinks highly of me. You can search my house, but I am not a prisoner yet. You are not qualified to arrest me, the official said, right?" They
were all surrounded by people, is there anything else important?
They could only loosen the knives at their waists in dismay and said unhappily: "Please lead the way, shopkeeper."
Hui Niang closed the shop and walked in front slowly. These officers could only follow behind her, looking almost the same as her subordinates.
The officers were full of anger. They thought they could show off their power when they arrived at the Gan family, but they did not expect that there were more than 20 guards in the Gan family, and there were people patrolling all the time.
They were surrounded by people. Whenever they made a big move during the search, they were pushed and shoved.
They didn't look like they were here to investigate a case. They looked more like poor little people who had strayed into a bandit's den. They didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
"Boss, I'm so scared!"
"What are you afraid of? We are officials. How dare they kill us?"
"Boss, look at their eyes. They might really dare to do it!"
The leading officer took a look and saw that the guards were all looking at him grimly, with murderous aura.
These people didn't look like ordinary guards. They looked more like Yan Luo who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"I'm scared."
"I'm scared too."
"What if we really find something?"
"What should we do? If we find something, will we arrest the person and bring him to justice?
" "It's easy to say. If we don't find anything, it's fine. But if we really find something, do you believe that these people will kill us immediately?"
I don't know who said this.
As soon as this sentence came out, several officers were silent.
Originally, they could relieve their fear by searching for things, but now they are getting more and more scared, and their hands are shaking while searching.
"Don't be afraid, brothers, don't forget, we are officials. This time we didn't expect the guards in this mansion to be so powerful. Next time we will bring more people and we will definitely get back at them."
"Boss, you also said it would be next time. If we really find something, I'm afraid there won't be a next time. "
I don't even know if I can get out alive, and there's always a next time. "
Gan Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
Children's laughter is always healing, but in a gloomy and terrifying environment, it not only doesn't heal people's hearts, but it makes them more creepy.
When the officers heard Gan Tian's laughter, they got goosebumps.
They were so scared.
One officer stopped searching and shouted loudly: "Boss, I've finished searching, and I didn't find any dirt."
Seeing this, another officer followed suit and said, "We have also finished searching, and there is nothing!"
The other officers refused to continue searching. Everyone shouted that they had finished searching, and they stood there motionless. No matter how much their leader wanted to continue searching, they had to give up.
"A bunch of greedy and cowardly people!"
He couldn't help but curse, and walked out angrily.
When he reached the door, a man wearing a blue coarse cloth shirt and a cloth scarf on his head stopped him.
"Sir, please stay."
"I am Li Yunfeng, the military advisor of General Tang. I have met you, sir."
Li Yunfeng took out his badge and greeted several officers with a smile.
After hearing Li Yunfeng's introduction, several officers were shocked. They all looked at the waist badge. As expected, there was a word "Tang" written on Li Yunfeng's waist badge.
A young officer couldn't help but blurt out: "It is said that General Tang won the battle that year, but he didn't ask for any reward. He asked His Majesty for a waist badge worth 1,000 silver pieces, saying that it could be distributed to the soldiers in the army and sold for some money. I just thought it was a joke at the time, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Although General Tang was a general, he was only a fifth-rank official. This waist badge was very heavy and valuable. No one would be willing to spend so much money to forge a waist badge of a fifth-rank general.
Even if it was forged, it had to be a waist badge of a first-rank official, so the waist badge could not be fake.
The shopkeeper of Huiyan Pavilion is just a woman. How can she make a military strategist willingly stay here as a servant!
