Chapter 270 The where to go
At least Hao Ling is also the nephew of the county magistrate. Zhang catcher listened to his instructions and hurriedly escorted the five people back to the county government.
Hao Yu still can't believe that everything he has experienced is a scam. He really wants to catch up with it again and ask Tu Xiongwei, how can all this be fake? He has seen their big ship, their goods, and even their shops. How did the most real thing become fake? Moreover, he has invested 80,000 taels in it. If all this is fake, how can he face his father and mother?
"You let go of me! Let go of me! This can't be fake, absolutely impossible!" Hao Yu roared at Hao Ling angrily. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He pointed to Hao Ling in despair and angrily and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you do all this? Did you make them lie to me and lie to me so much?
Hao Ling was speechless. He didn't say anything if he saved him. Why did he put the matter on him? Besides, if he hadn't brought someone here in time, God knows how big a mistake Hao Yu would have made!
He pressed Hao Yu's shoulder with one hand and said in a low voice, "Hao Yu, calm down! How could I do such a thing? Calm down!"
Hao Yu couldn't stand such a big blow. He looked like crazy. He stared at Hao Ling and roared, "It's impossible, it's impossible!" You must have done it. Who else can you do it? You must have done it!"
Hao Ling was speechless and cruel. He simply cut a knife on the back of Hao Yu's neck, so that he would not continue to talk nonsense here and make things bigger.
As soon as this happened, Hao Fu's face has been lost even more, and there can't be any bigger disturbance.
He took someone to capture people. Presumably, the news has reached his father's ears at this moment, and he doesn't know how his father will deal with this matter. Anyway, he has done his duty as a big brother. Since he discovered Hao Yu's behavior, he has tried his best to investigate this matter.
In order not to worry the old lady, Hao Ling decided not to send Hao Yu back to Hao's house for the time being, but temporarily opened a room in the inn outside and ordered people to take care of him in the inn. After everything was arranged, Hao Ling went to see Master Hao.
Sure enough, even if Taihe County is not small, such a big thing soon spread to Mr. Hao's ears.
As soon as he saw Hao Ling appear in front of him, Master Hao snorted in a cold and calm voice.
Hao Ling came forward indifferently and said, "Dad, have you heard about Hao Yu?"
Master Hao's face was ugly and he reluctantly nodded.
Hao Ling sighed and persuaded, "Dad, Hao Yu is still young after all, and it is possible to be deceived. It's just that he was confused for a while. I have had people arrested all those liars. After being interrogated by the county officials, I will track the whereabouts of tens of tens of thousands of taels of silver."
In the past two years, Master Hao has gradually handed over the focus of business to Hao Ling and Hao Yu. He is only responsible for meeting those old friends from time to time and continuing to cooperate, so he doesn't know anything about 80,000 taels of silver.
Hearing Hao Ling say this, Master Hao couldn't help but be stunned and said in surprise, "What tens of thousands of taels of silver? Is it possible that Hao Yu was cheated of tens of thousands of taels of silver?
Before Hao Ling had time to tell Mr. Hao about the matter, he had hoped to secretly help Hao Yu recover these tens of thousands of taels of silver, and also saved Hao Yu from being punished by Master Hao, but he was not as good as God. He had not had time to investigate the matter clearly. Hao Yu here actually He was confused and sent money to others. No, I can only catch those bandits first, and then interrogate other things.
"Dad, it's the child's fault! A few years ago, I found that the money in the shop seemed to be a little nervous, but only because I was busy everywhere during the Spring Festival, I didn't pay attention to it for a while. I didn't start to investigate until after the Spring Festival, and this investigation actually found out something. Hao Ling stood in front of Master Hao and slowly narrated the matter in a low voice. "When the child cleared the accounts, he found that there were many fake accounts, and in total, there was a difference of more than 80,000 taels! 80,000 taels is definitely not a small amount. The child felt that there must be an inside story in it, so he didn't tell his father about it for the time being, but investigated it by himself.
"Then, the child found that the 80,000 taels of silver seemed to have been taken by Hao Yu. The child had been sending people to follow Hao Yu to see who he was dealing with and where he spent the 80,000 taels of silver. Until the previous two days, the people who had been following Hao Yu told me that Hao Yu had frequent contact with some people in the past two days, and listening to the content of those people seemed to be walking on the sea.
"When the child heard something was wrong, he quickly arranged several more people to thoroughly investigate the matter. Only then did he know that the five people were recidivists and had been around the country for a long time. In the past two years, he somehow arrived in Taihe County, and he didn't know why he got in touch with Hao Yu. Today, the child also took someone to catch him.
Hao Ling carefully told Master Hao about the general process, and then he stopped talking. He has done everything that should be done. The rest depends on how his father will deal with it. As for the government, it is a family anyway, so it's better to work.
Master Hao's expression had changed from anger to fatigue just now. He waved to Hao Ling and motioned Hao Ling to go out first for the time being and let him be alone.
Hao Ling saluted respectfully and retreated.
Things have been generally dealt with. It's time to catch it, and it's time to pull it. There's no need to worry about the rest. There is plenty of time to deal with it slowly.
Master Hao stayed in the house for a long time before he came out.
This matter is also easy to deal with on the surface. For the time being, deal with the five swindlers and ask about the specific where of the 80,000 taels of silver are going. If you can recover some, it's also good. After all, such a large sum of silver is here. No matter how powerful those people use it, it can't be spent so soon, can it?
When it comes to the county government, how can the five swindlers be full of nonsense? Under the heavy punishment, the five people quickly confessed everything one after another.
What made Master Hao infinitely desperate was that the 80,000 taels of silver had really been spent by them, and there was not a penny left! However, it's not that I haven't gained anything.
Although those five people are liars, part of their experience is also true.
A few years ago, the five of them were indeed engaged in overseas trade business. They used huge ships to transport goods from overseas and sell them, from which they earned a huge difference. However, in a shipwreck, their ship capsized, and all the goods were left, and they just picked up a life by luck, and there was nothing beside them.
It is not easy to build a huge ship across the sea. Even if they want to do their previous business, they can't spend so much money to build a big ship. No, I had to embark on the road of fund-raising. To put it hard, that is, I embarked on the road of cheating money.
They have their own real experience, so they have fooled many people.
Hao Yu is young and ignorant. In addition, he is young and energetic. He is single-minded to surpass Hao Ling. Without guard, he took their way.
In addition to one part of the silver used by them, the other part was handed over to the shipyard to build a huge ship across the sea. In the past, they didn't think about it, but they had never really collected so much money like this time.
Most of the funds of the big ship have been given to the shipyard, and only a small part has not been given, but the construction of the big ship is not a matter of more than a month, at least it will take more than half a year.
After learning about this, Master Hao personally took Hao Ling to the shipyard eight hundred miles away from Taihe County. Looking at the big ship more than a hundred feet long, Master Hao was speechless.
Their family has never been engaged in the water business. What can such a huge ship do? Most of the inland rivers are relatively small, and they don't need such a big boat at all. Is it possible that they also need to do maritime trade?
As soon as this idea appeared, it was rejected by Master Hao himself!
There are too many places for offshore business to take risks, and from their own point of view, the current family business is completely enough. If you continue to expand, I'm afraid you can't cope with it well.
I have to say that Mr. Hao is a wise man. From a human point of view, everyone wants to climb higher and higher, and can't wait for the day when they never reach the peak! After all, people's desires are endless. Infinite pursuit can only make people's greed heavier.
Nowadays, Hao Fu is just quite famous in Taihe County. Hao Yu has embarked on such a road and has been cheated by several swindlers. If Hao Fu's family business is bigger in the future, God knows how many swindlers will come to cheat.
Can you see through one person's scam and see through two? What about three, four or several?
Master Hao then talked to the owner of the shipyard in private. He was probably just asking if there was anything else else wanted for the boat. If others wanted it, Hao Fu transferred it out at a cheaper price.
This is a large shipyard. There are many large ships built here every year. Therefore, when Mr. Hao proposed to transfer the boat at a low price, the owner of the shipyard agreed after a few nonsense and took 40,000 taels of silver for Mr. Hao.
In addition to the 40,000 taels of silver, two houses and many gold, silver and jade were also recycled. Although there is no shortage of Hao Mansion, it is not a good idea to let it go. Master Hao did not resell it, but only regarded it as his own private property.
I have to say that the five swindlers will enjoy life very much. The two houses are located on a street away from Haofu. The house occupies a large area. In addition to the two courtyards, there is also a large small lake in the courtyard. The small lake is connected to the moat, the water of the lake is clear to the bottom, and there are many various goldfish in the lake.
I think, if it weren't for the purpose of building a big ship, the five swindlers would have bought such a house, right?
