Chapter 26: Evidence Collection Porcelain Shop (II)
After leaving the first porcelain shop, Chu Pingda sulked and said, "That bastard named He dares to show his thoughts in front of me. What a vulgar thing, forget-baby!"
The more he spoke, the more angry he became. He said to Li Yi a little dissatisfiedly: "Why are you stopping me? If you don't stop me, I will beat the little old man to the fullest, so that he can know why the flowers are different!"
Li Yi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, no matter how angry or annoyed you are, you can't help us solve the case. Now we are in a hurry, and solving the case is the most important thing. It's nothing to endure it for this."
Chu Ping said: "But... I will give him a piece of cake, and he can tell the information to help us solve the case! I will lose a lot of money if I let him go so easily!"
Li Yi disagreed: "Power can only make people afraid, not convinced. You can only destroy his backbone and cannot destroy his sincerity. If he says some false information, aren't we so tired that we can go there? We have to use clever methods to deal with villains."
Chu Ping sighed, and he had to admit that Li Yi was right. However, even though he knew that "complainting" was the best option, the suffocation in his chest could not be smooth.
Silently all the way, the two of them came to the treasure pavilion that Shopkeeper He mentioned selling blue and white porcelain.
The scale of Zhenbao Pavilion is more than the store He shop. The shopkeeper has a square face and looks like a meticulous person.
"Two guests, what do you want to buy?" Seeing Li Yi and Chu Ping walking straight towards him, the shopkeeper said with a smile.
Li Yi showed him the fragments of the blue and white porcelain: "Shopkeeper, do you have this kind of porcelain here?"
The shopkeeper looked at it and confirmed: "Yes, this batch of blue and white porcelain is cheap and suitable for indoor storage, which is very easy to sell. Moreover, there are only small shops in Pingji County. How many of them do you want to buy?"
Li Yi was happy when he heard this, and then solemnly said: "To be honest, a murder case has occurred in the county recently, and the deceased was beaten to death by Qingbai porcelain. So we two brothers came here to investigate on the order of the county magistrate, and wanted the shopkeeper to provide some useful information."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his face became serious: "I dare to ask the two men, how can I help you?"
Li Yi said: "It's also very simple. As long as the shopkeeper provides us with the blue and white porcelain, it will be a good idea to read the account book of your store from the time of betrayal from two days ago."
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, two people wait, I'll go get the account book for you now!"
Chu Ping was stunned: "Why did you tell this shopkeeper bluntly, but you said false words to the shopkeeper He? And why did this shopkeeper cooperate so much? It really makes me difficult to understand."
Li Yi smiled: "This shopkeeper is no better than Manager He. The benevolence and righteousness he talks about is business.
But this shopkeeper does not flatter you because of your identity as a constable, nor panic because of what I ask about it. He is actually a wise person who knows how to advance and retreat. The business he talks about is not lacking in benevolence and righteousness in his heart.
As a constable, you have a lot of knowledge to understand people's loyalty and treason, and you have to learn a lot."
Chu Ping felt the great feelings, and he said admiringly: "Listen to your words, it makes Ping feel like he is clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, and he suddenly knows it!"
Li Yi shook his eyebrows. Why does this sound so familiar? Chu Feng, the next step, must not be drifted for half his life. I regret not meeting the wise master, and then I will be the adoptive father?
Of course, Chu Ping did not worship his adoptive father. He rubbed his hands and smiled shyly: "Brother Li, aren't you really not coming to the yamen to be a captain? You should be a captain in nature! You don't have to worry about stealing my position. I'm enough to learn from you!"
Li Yi naturally refused: "This is not what I wish, so don't mention it again in the future..."
I just want to...make a chain stinky tofu shop...
After a while, the shopkeeper came over with a pile of books in his arms. He said embarrassedly: "I started purchasing this blue and white porcelain a year ago, and it has a year's trading record until now.
Moreover, the transaction records of blue and white porcelain and other porcelain are not separated, and there are more than twenty books stacked together, so it may be difficult to find if you want to find them."
Chu Ping was stunned: "What should I do!"
Li Yi sighed helplessly: "What else can I do? Just turn it through page by page! I didn't want to handle the case through this clue before, because this clue is both troublesome and not efficient. If it weren't for the breakdown of other clues, I wouldn't want to come here!"
After saying that, Li Yi rolled up his sleeves, took a account book and flipped it out.
Chu Ping blinked at the shopkeeper: "Do you have any idle guys under your command to help us flip through it?"
The shopkeeper agreed, and in a short while, six not very busy and literate guys came.
Seeing that these people were not very interested, Li Yi took out a piece of silver from his arms and said loudly: "Six brothers, all you have to do is find the buyer record of the Qingbai porcelain and write it down aside.
Of course, I will not treat you badly. Those who write the most records among you can take away this tael of silver. But I can say that it is the beginning, so you can't try to cheat me by cheating me. If the information you wrote is a bit wrong, you made up the mess or missed the information, let alone you not get this tael of silver. My friend, the arresting master, will lock you up to the yamen and eat a few sticks! Do you understand?"
"I understand!" The guys were ready to rub their hands, looking at the one or two taels of silver on the table, saliva was almost flowing down!
Just kidding, one tael of silver! Some of them can’t earn one tael of silver in a month or even two months!
The shopkeeper coughed, and he took out two taels of silver and added: "You guys work well for these two people, I'm watching! Those who work the most attentively, I'll give you another two taels of silver reward! If you are lazy and make trouble, don't be dragged to the yamen and be beaten, don't think you can come to work here in the future!"
"Yes!" the six people answered in unison, their expressions even more solemn.
Li Yi glanced at the shopkeeper with quite admiration and sighed in his heart: This person is a talent!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The shopkeeper also nodded slightly to Li Yi with understanding, feeling a little sympathetic.
Because Li Yi's short words have completely achieved clear rewards and punishments and healthy competition, the shopkeeper thinks that if such a person is doing business, he can at least be rich.
Seeing that everyone had already taken action, Chu Ping was still doing nothing, Li Yi was angry and threw two books of the account books to Chu Ping and sneered: "Why, I can't read?"
Chu Ping became embarrassed: "Know, read..."
"Then why are you lazy?"
Chu Ping smiled bitterly: "Oh Brother Li, you don't know me! You feel sleepy when you look at the book, and you feel dizzy when you look at the account book. You just look at the beauty picture to make you stand up. You ask me to read the account book, didn't you teach Zhang Fei to embroider the flowers?"
Li Yi was not used to his bad habits and threw the account book casually: "It just so happened that I want to see how you can faint! If you don't read it, I won't read it anymore. Anyway, I'm not dealing with this case. The limit is expired. Who would you see if you get beaten?"
Chu Ping was startled and quickly picked up the account book and handed it back with both hands: "Okay! OK! I'll see now! Don't be angry, brother is joking with you, hehe, hehe."
Li Yi sighed. A person like Chu Ping who is loyal and slick in character is actually very useful to use. And you can trust him and entrust many things. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you cannot be spoiled.
If you get used to him too much, he will easily get arrogant.
This morning, he wanted to push everything to Li Yi, and he wanted to slip away with oil. Li Yi wanted to cure him and then got him.
I want to be a hand-off manager, but I don’t have any door!
The account books look boring, one by one, and it makes people feel annoying. Eight people started in the morning and prepared meals for them at noon. After they ate something casually and put their stomachs on, they kept seeing them in the afternoon.
Especially those six guys, each of them were full of energy and had done their best to make a fortune, for fear of being surpassed by others.
Li Yi finally finished reading the two books. He stretched his waist and subconsciously looked at Chu Ping.
He was not worried about the six energetic guys. He was actually a little afraid of the careless Chu Ping. If Chu Ping missed any important information if he cheated on him, then their work this day would be useless.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Yi glanced at Chu Ping, Chu Ping suddenly stood up, his eyes a little unnatural: "You, why are you looking at me?"
Li Yi frowned: "I can't even look at you?"
There was a sweat stain on Chu Ping's forehead: "Look...we two big men, why are you watching blindly? You are as good as Long Yang!"
Li Yi felt that something was wrong with his condition and couldn't help but calm down: "Have you finished reading the two books?"
"Look... I've finished watching it! Of course I've finished watching it!" Chu Ping said loudly.
"That's good, why are you so nervous? You'll finish watching it after reading it. You're so scared that you sweat!" Li Yi smiled.
Chu Ping hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead. After he carded the account book, he pushed the buyer record he had recorded to Li Yi, and asked the six guys: "Have you finished recording all of them?"
Because Li Yi was unable to recognize many ancient characters, Chu Ping only recorded two books because of his poor academic performance, but these people recorded three books, and even one was recording the fourth book.
Everyone else has finished memorizing it, and the fourth book is naturally a bit short of work, but it is almost done.
After the last person finished recording, Li Yi walked over and integrated the transaction records of Qingbai porcelain, and there were 318 items!
"It's really troublesome..." Li Yi couldn't help but hold his head. Next, he might have to visit these buyers from house to house to see who has lost this blue and white porcelain, and he can follow the clues to catch the murderer.
Another big project...
Chu Ping naturally thought of this: "And the murderer may not have bought the blue and white porcelain here, and it is not impossible to buy porcelain from other counties."
"Well. OK, Chu Ping, you can wait outside now. I will ask the shopkeeper a few more questions and go out." Li Yi said with a smile.
Chu Ping was overjoyed: "That's great! This room is suffocated, I've wanted to go out for some breath! Haha, haha!"
After saying that, he jumped out without looking back.
Li Yi looked at his back and said no, his brows getting deeper and deeper. Seeing that he had completely left the treasure pavilion, he quickly rushed towards the two books that Chu Ping looked at, flipping like flying.
Soon... one of the books was seen by Li Yi in an unusual way.
