"Hey! No, it looks like there should indeed be other passages here." Song Wuya shook his head involuntarily, and stood up.
Bai Zhuo, who was still stunned by the side, looked at Song Wuya suspiciously: "Brother Wuya, you didn't tell me what you asked me to look for! Is this the end?"
Bai Zhuo was very puzzled, he didn't even know what to look for.
Song Wuya got up and walked towards the yard, saying as he walked, "Salt grains!"
"Oh! I understand!" Bai Zhuo suddenly realized: "If those private salts are sent here, and then they are taken out of the city from here, then there will definitely be salt grains left in this yard."
"Well, that's the reason." Song Wuya nodded.
The official came to the two of them again, and told Song Wuya: "Reporting to my lord, I didn't find any other tunnels."
"Oh, then go and see if the buried tunnel has been dug up." Song Wuya nodded, not feeling disappointed, and gave another order to the official.
The official sent away, and not long after, he came in front of Song Wuya again.
"Reporting to my lord, the tunnel has been dug, and there is indeed the end."
Looking up at the sky, Song Wuya nodded and said, "Okay, let the brothers go back to rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Also, after you go back, check who this yard belongs to."
"This subordinate understands." The officer responded, and then told the other officers Song Wuya's words.
At this moment, the sunset glow in the sky has gradually disappeared, and it is already dark. No matter how good your eyesight is, you may not be able to find anything.
Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo left the place, and the officials ordered the place to be sealed off, and they will come back tomorrow to check.
On the way back to the inn, Bai Zhuo asked suspiciously: "Brother Wuya, did the Wuliang Sect know that grains of salt would expose their methods, so they cleaned it?"
"It's absolutely impossible." Song Wuya shook his head: "I've already looked at it when I came here. There is no trace of being cleaned here. I think we will find something new tomorrow."

Chapter 498 Where did the salt go
Back at the inn, it was still early.Situ Wen and Xiaohuan didn't know if they had stayed in the inn all day, and they were very excited to see the two of them come back.
"How is it? Any new discoveries?" Situ Wen looked very concerned about the case, but in fact, she knew very well that Song Wuya was thinking about the case now.
"I found a tunnel dug by Wuliangjiao, and the end of the tunnel has been found. It's just that no other clues have been found yet. The things in the Niu's warehouse have been transported out of the city. However, since they want to intervene Private salt, I think he won't just leave like this." Song Wuya replied briefly, what they found at the fire scene today.
After hearing this, Situ Wen was slightly disappointed: "Hey! They still took the lead. Didn't they find any clues about Wuliangjiao?"
"That's right! They're ahead of me again. We don't have any clues yet, we can only see tomorrow's." Song Wuya sighed.
Today's discovery is nothing.The method of Wuliangjiao has always been like this, coming and going without a trace.Even in the past, Wuliangjiao was by their side, and they couldn't completely control Wuliangjiao.
At this moment, Song Wuya was still pondering whether he could track it down tomorrow.How did the salt get transported out of that yard?
After all, the fire scene was not too far away from that place at that time, and it was directly visible.Those officials didn't notice any abnormalities in the surrounding area, so it can only explain another problem. This courtyard is just a transfer place for Wuliangjiao, and they should have another way out.
"Forget it, brother Wuya, don't think about it anymore. You can't think about it now, so why not sleep peacefully, maybe everything will become clear tomorrow." Bai Zhuo knew Song Wuya Now I am still troubled by this matter, so I immediately comforted him.
Song Wuya nodded: "That's right! But this is all in my mind now, it's impossible to get rid of that!"
After expressing emotion, seeing that the expressions of the other three people were also not good, Song Wuya knew that it was all because of him, so Song Wuya immediately smiled slightly: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter. Let's go down now Let's eat something! I haven't eaten a bite since I came back this morning, and I didn't feel it before, but now that I stop, I feel so hungry that I'm about to lie down."
Song Wuya jokingly said something like this, which somewhat eased the mood of the servants.
Several people came downstairs together, found a table and sat down.
Bai Zhuo immediately called the waiter in the shop to order.
Sitting in front of the table, Song Wuya didn't speak, he was still thinking about this matter.
"Hey! Have you guys heard? The Niu family's business is starting to run again!"
The conversation of the people at the next table interrupted Song Wuya's train of thought and drew his attention.
"Is this true? I heard about it today, but I haven't received any notification from the Niu family!"
"Who said it wasn't? I've heard about it too. Besides, some people saw that Niu's house shipped today!"
There were three people sitting at the next table, all of them looked like businessmen.What they are talking about is the largest illegal salt seller in the city, the Niu family.
Hearing them talk about the Niu family's business, it's natural to say that it's private salt.
When Song Wuya heard their conversation, he immediately understood what they said was about the private salt that was transported out of the city under the banner of the Niu family today.
"That's right! Didn't the Niu family say that before? The helmsman has just died, and he will start again after he prepares to change to a new helmsman?"
"This is also strange! Maybe there is really something wrong, maybe the Niu family can't control it!"
"The Niu family can't control it? It's unlikely, right? It's been so many years, I don't think it's possible. However, I think, maybe there are too many people eating our food, and now the production has dropped, which led to this situation. Maybe, we little customers won’t be able to eat the food of Niu’s family in the future!”
The discussion of these three people still worried that they would not be able to make money in the future.As for the current situation of the Niu family, it seems that they know about the same as Song Wuya, and not as much as Song Wuya.
The conversation between the three of them continued, and Song Wuya also continued to listen.
The three of Situ Wen saw that Song Wuya wasn't paying attention here, and they also noticed the conversation next to him, so they didn't make a sound to disturb him.
"Perhaps! Anyway, have you noticed? The eighth master disappeared immediately today, and the tiger master, these two big heads disappeared suddenly, it should be that the Niu family released goods for them."
"Yeah! I noticed that too. At first I wondered if they were getting impatient. But if you say that, it's very possible. After all, the Niu family suddenly stopped their business, so it's impossible that they don't have any stock!"
"Hiss! Didn't Niu's warehouse catch fire last night? But how did they put the goods today? Could it be that the fire was burned for us to see?"
"I've also heard about the fire, but there should be more than one warehouse in Niu's house, right?"
"Come on, the meal is here, don't worry about it, wait and see, if it doesn't work, let's make other plans."
The three of them talked one by one, and they didn't stop until Xiaoer brought the food over.
There was a commotion below the inn, and people everywhere were talking about the Niu family. Obviously they knew very well what happened to the fire that happened last night.But they didn't know the specific situation at all, they were all confused, and wanted to wait for the Niu's house to release the goods, but the Niu's house released the goods today. They went to the Niu's house to inquire, but they didn't get any useful answers.
"Brother Wuya, do you think this is a play written and acted by the Niu family as they said?" Seeing Song Wuya come back to his senses, Bai Zhuo, who was listening to the other party beside him, asked Such a question came up.
Hearing this just now, Song Wuya was also thinking about it, but he felt that it was meaningless to the Niu family.
What was the use of setting fire to their own warehouses?If Song Wuya didn't express his intentions to them, it might be useful for them to do so.But Song Wuya had already told them clearly, so they had no reason to do this.
Compared to these, Song Wuya believed even more that this was all done by Wuliangjiao.And today, the Wuliang Sect used the name of the Niu family to transport out the private salt that was originally in the Niu family's warehouse.
Just because they went out of the city under the banner of the Niu family, they will not be questioned.
"It's unlikely, don't they trust us?" Song Wuya didn't say affirmatively, but said with some doubts.
Situ Wen listened to what the two of them said, and said, "Perhaps, it may not be impossible for them to guard against Wuliangjiao!"
