Chapter five hundred and sixty first murder

When Qian Hong, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard Wang Zhi's straightforward questioning, he knew that Qian Yuan had just spoken out and drove Mao Haifeng out.

"Fang is very grateful for this question." Qian Rui said with smugness: "Please come in and talk in detail."

The group walked in, and Mao Haifeng, who had the largest mouth, couldn't help but mutter: "Why did that guy say he was killing people and robbing people..."

Qian Hong went to pour tea and was sent out, but Tan Qiwei sat in.

"It's indeed a murderous robbery." Qian Rui sighed, "but the reason is not very clear... This is his oral statement, and Fang recorded it."

Wang glanced at the paper and licked his tongue and said, "It's all from Ningbo, Shaoxing... there are a few that look quite familiar."

Xu Bixi leaned closer and took a look, "The Zhang family in Xiahe Village, Yuyao made cotton cloth back then, and 40% of the cotton cloth that came from Susong had to pass by his hands."

"The Zhao family of Matsuura, I remember that they were from Guanhaiwei. They mainly engaged in lacquer and tea. They set up shops in Ligang back then and had a wide connection."

"Cixi, Shangyu, Xinchang..."

Xu Bixi murmured: "It was before the destruction of Ligang, Shaoxing and Ningbo, that was famous maritime merchants, what did Qian Zhan do?"

"You're a robbery." Mao Haifeng took the paper and looked at it, and couldn't help but whine.

Wang Zhi, who was frowning and thinking hard, turned his head and glanced, "Hmm?"

"It seems that these companies were detained before and were not allowed to go to sea..." Mao Haifeng, who has been staying in Zhenhai for the past two months, saw the clues, "Yes, yes, two of them carry iron and firearms, and two of them were detained for transporting grain to sea... It's all nonsense!"

Nowadays, if you don’t bring weapons, you go out to sea and go out to sea without bringing weapons. That’s a death. As for transporting grain to sea... Those who do this kind of business are probably fools, and they will lose money!

Qian Rui said calmly: "In other words, these companies were targeted by Qian Zhancai and Tang Jingchuan."

"But you can't go to the door for no reason, right?" Xu Bixi wondered: "I'm still thinking about contacting the Zhang family and talking about the share of cotton cloth."

"Of course I'm not going to kill you!" Wang pointed to the last name on the paper and said coldly: "Wu family in Fenghua, have you forgotten?"

Mao Haifeng immediately understood, "The Wu family in Fenghua built a lot of land in Xiangshan Port, gathering dozens of sea boats, but they robbed a lot of business in our Li Port!"

"The Wu family first followed Li Guangtou and set up a commercial market in Shuangyu." Xu Bixi added in this way.

As long as there are many people in any organization, there must be many parties, and maritime merchants are no exception. Xu Hai and Wang Zhi are both sides. When Zhu Wan attacked Shuangyu Island, Li Guangtou and Xu brothers were also both sides.

Wang Zhi was a fellow villager and direct lineman of the Xu brothers. Later, he took advantage of the situation and set up his own business. The Wu family in Fenghua followed Li Guangtou, who had always had a disagreement with Wang Zhi.

Even though Ligang was destroyed, the Wu family in Fenghua was still engaged in smuggling business. Later, the Japanese turmoil broke out, and the business route was cut off, and the source of goods was lost. The Wu family stopped.

Now that Zhenhai is in business, the Wu family naturally jumped out again. Unfortunately, Tang Jingchuan caught a lot of problems with the first fleet. It has been a month since the fleet has not yet been able to go out to sea.

"That's clear, Qian Zhancai and Tang Jingchuan designed it so that these companies could not get a share of the pie in the sea trade." Qian Rui analyzed: "And the Wu family in Fenghua has sea boats... there should be some?"

"Of course there is!" Mao Haifeng said in a rough voice: "Xiangshan Port is big. You can find a corner to hide it, and even ghosts can't find it!"

Qian Rui nodded, "The Wu family in Fenghua will inevitably use sea boats... and will go straight from Xiangshan Port without paying taxes."

"And what Qian Zhancai said about killing and robbing people... refers to these fleets!" Wang Zhi smacked his lips, "But... why?"

"There are only two possibilities." Qian Rui smiled and said, "First, pick a few birds to kill to warn others. After all, there are too many places to go out to sea along the southeast coast."

Wang Zhi nodded slowly. This was also what he and Qian Yuan had discussed before. Although the sea ban could not be opened, if you can openly trade, you have to follow the right path. The cost of paying taxes and silver to go overseas is not very high, but you can set rules.

"Second, there is personal grudge."

"personal enmity?"

"Who in the southeast doesn't know that Qian Zhancai will revenge?" Qian Rui induced him in a row, "Besides, these companies have only started their business in Haimao Dasheng, and they don't have any clean hands. Who knows when they offended him?"

"Oh, I remember that there is a son in the Zhang family in Yuyao under Xu Hai, and I don't know if he dies..." Mao Haifeng patted his head and asked, "Sir, that guy has a nickname, Going down the mountain tiger."

"I remember this person died when Xu Hai invaded Jiaxing and Huzhou last year." Qian Rui turned to look at Wang Zhi, "Old ship owner, no matter which... it doesn't matter."

"That's right, we pay taxes every time we go to sea now and kill the Wu family... that's a good thing!" Xu Bixi agreed: "If it weren't for the adoptive father who stopped him, he would have gone to Fenghua long ago!"

"I just know how to kill, kill, now we are doing serious business!" Wang Zhi cursed and hesitated: "What Qian Zhancai means... let's do it?"

"Of course not." Qian Rui smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, two months ago, Qian Zhancai would ask for the fleet's staff, and he said he would come in with sand. Today, he would have a secret conversation. Why should he take Lao Tan... You know, the old ship owner gave Lao Tan and the eight sea boats to Qian Zhancai."

Wang Zhi suddenly realized, "No wonder he wanted to drag Lao Tan to have a secret conversation with his husband... Uh, I sent you out again!"

Mao Haifeng, who was pointed directly by Wang, was inexplicably pointed, "Entertainment Father..."

"Everyone knows that you are a big mouth!" Xu Bixi explained with a smile: "Old Tan does this alone, so we can't get involved... Could it be that he is the name of pirates and Japanese pirates?"

Qian Rui took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "There are some benefits to moving from the island to this place. Songluo tea is famous all over the world and has the water of Yongjiang River."

"Get some dragon-hearth for your husband next year, but you may not be able to get it in the Ming Dynasty." Wang Zhi laughed and said, "From Mr., can this be done?"

You can't get Longjing in the Ming Dynasty... but my son can do it. Qian Rui smiled with a pursed lips, "Borrow a sentence from Qian Zhancai during today's secret conversation."

"As I said at Ligang two months ago, Qian and Wufeng ship owners are grasshoppers on the same line."

"At that time, Fang also asked, if the old ship owner exposes this matter in the future, your Qian Zhancai..."

"Yes!" Wang Zhi nodded repeatedly, "Isn't this a handle falling into our hands? Qian Zhan is not that stupid person."

"He didn't explain anything." Qian Rui put down the teacup. "Fang secretly speculated that this matter could not be kept confidential and not leaked. Not to mention the others, these families were rejected by the government office to go to sea, and then the smuggling fleet was robbed and killed. Anyway, they would suspect Qian Zhancai and Tang Jingchuan."

"So, there should be another mystery behind this."

"Qian Zhancai is definitely not a reckless person. He has always planned and acted before he could act, so he should have a backup plan."

After a pause, Qian Rui said seriously: "Old ship owner, the fleet still pays taxes and sells goods in the sea. He doesn't care about it, just let Lao Tan do it."

"This..." Wang Zhi touched his chin and turned his head to look at Tan Qiqi, who had a expressionless face. Is he willing to be an abandoned child?

"If it weren't for the mercy of the old ship owner that day, you, as Xu Hai's confidant, should have beheaded." Qian Rui said sternly: "If you did this well, you might be able to cleanse yourself of the thief and change your appearance in the future."

Tan Qizhi stood up and bowed to the ground, "Tan is willing to listen to the old ship owner, sir."

Wang Zhi thought for a long time and nodded slightly, "Sir, help me a lot. This place is simple. Let's find an opportunity to hold a big banquet and thank you for thanking Mr.."

"A restaurant was opened in Zhenhai County. It is said that it was made by the servants of the Qian family. It tasted good." Mao Haifeng touched his lips, "By the way, Qian Zhan wanted to ask the teacher for help, and we will go together at that time..."

"Nothing!" Wang Zhi cursed: "That's asking Mr. Fang, what are you doing?"

"Go together, go together." Qian Rui smiled and said, "Brother Mao brought back a few braised pig trotters a few days ago. The taste is really good...what is it called?"

"Qian family pig's trotter!" Mao Haifeng hangs three feet tall and smiles: "It is said that it is called Rock Candy Pig's trotter, but unfortunately the people of the county just call Qian family pig's trotter!"

Tan Qizhi looked at this scene speechlessly.

Two months ago, he met his cousin Tan Lun and heard that Qian Yuan was in Yan Fenyi in Beijing, and Xu Huating was in good luck, talking to others and talking to ghosts...
