Chapter 237: The Old Lady of the Zhen Family in the Red Chamber (14)
Madam Fengshen House
In the evening, the bright moon rises.
Under the bright moonlight, Qiao Mu, Zhen Sega and the sixth prince all met in Naxiangyuan.
The Sixth Prince had just finished the poison and was still weak. Zhen Sega was worried that he would have any more accidents, so when she went out to do business at noon, she sent the Sixth Prince to the Madam Fengsheng's Mansion.
Qiaomu is also for safety reasons.
He was specially arranged to live in Naxiang Garden, which is adjacent to the east of the main courtyard of the central main courtyard of Mrs. Fengxian's mansion.
At this time, everyone discusses things, so it is naturally impossible to move him to the secret room to discuss.
Therefore, we can only do some confidentiality measures and discuss it on the spot. With the light of candlelight, Zhen Sega repeatedly confirmed that no one eavesdropped before she told her about his experience today.
"This matter should be manipulated by the Su family in Lingnan. The Su family used to do private salt transactions, so they are very familiar with this industry. Moreover, only their family can do this decisive method of killing. If the prince himself manipulated it, he should try to avoid killing more people."
Zhen Sega has a channel to learn about his unique news, and the Sixth Prince naturally has it. He must not have known the details of the local area.
However, Zhen Sega knew much about the macro-level understanding of the prince's power, but she did not know much about the sixth prince.
"Lingnan Sujia?
Didn’t their family be surrounded and suppressed by the late emperor more than 40 years ago because of a large amount of private salt sold?
I really didn't expect that the prince even had his family owned. What did the prince want to do? The Su family and the royal family have a grudge.
Mom, how is your situation there?"
Although Zhen Sega was a little surprised, she didn't find it difficult to accept it. When the prince fought for the throne, he naturally tried his best to win over all the forces that could win over.
That power did not matter at all in the past.
Anyone who can bring benefits will dare to use it.
"Half an hour ago, Wang Tuan, who was in charge of your sister-in-law's case, came over to tell me that the servants in your sister-in-law's mansion had been found, but all of them were piled up in a messy grave outside the city. Wang Tuan Tuan sent people to count, and the number was not bad, and they were all there!
The land deeds and house deeds were sold.
But I didn't find a penny.
In addition, I have sent people to look for the three private salt villages you told me, and the salt households in two villages have basically been killed.
There is only one exception. Because the manager in that private salt village did not want to waste the latest batch of private salt, they saved their lives for one day, which gave them a glimmer of hope. Although the relevant evidence is not complete, the number is also quite large. It should be of some use to take it out. You can take a look first."
As Qiao Mu said, he had already moved all the boxes of books and letters that the secret guard had just sent over an hour ago to the table and spread them out.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them carefully looked through the account book for half a quarter of an hour.
"In just five years, they actually made more than 50 million taels of profit. This number is simply terrifying. No wonder the world's private salt has been constantly hiding.
Such huge profits are probably because a family with a way would rather risk being killed by the nine clans…”
Zhen Sega sighed from the side, and the Sixth Prince was pale and his lips were trembling:
"Fifty million taels, the profit of private salt alone is more than 50 million taels. In addition to the income obtained from other places, where has so much money been used by the prince and what exactly does he want to do?"
Unlike Zhen Sega's first thought, he was just sighing that he had benefited so much, but Tu Minggui's first thought was how many people could win over so much money.
How many troops can be equipped?
How many things can be done?
You should know that the treasury allocated more than 10 million taels of silver to the Ministry of War last year, but only reached eight million taels. I couldn't even think about how many tens of thousands of private troops could the prince use all of this money to buy private troops.
“You have seen all these.
What you can think of, the Lord of the Lord can naturally think that as long as you send these materials, even if the prince does not fall, he will inevitably be afraid of the Lord of the Lord, and even the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of
But we cannot send these materials.
Sega, do you have the ability to deliver these information to the eldest prince or the third prince?
It is best to send it to the eldest prince. The eldest prince has always been impulsive and is almost as powerful as the prince. Only when sent to him can he play the greatest role. Maybe it can be directly announced to the world."
Although Qiaomu really wanted to send these information directly, she knew very well that she could not do this. Ordinary people still wanted to not make any public family scandals, not to mention the royal family. It would be better not to mix yourself with it or not to mix yourself with it. Being a fisherman is more cost-effective than being a snipe and a clam.
"This is easy to deal with. I can find a way to send it out tomorrow, but, mother, are you sure those people will not doubt our family? If those people doubt our family, then you and I will probably be in danger. They will definitely do whatever they want to get back these evidence.
Are you sure it's OK?"
Zhen Sega promised.
Asked worriedly.
Qiao Mu couldn't help but remain silent. She was really not very sure. Although she had already realized that she was very cautious in doing things, she had never been a spy or something before, so she really didn't know it.
“I really can’t guarantee this.
But you don’t have to worry about safety. Unless they transfer large troops or artillery to come, they will definitely not be able to break through the protection of the five hundred secret guards.
And my poison is not vegetarian either.”
"Forget it, I can only pray to the heavens.
Mom, I will send someone to send the evidence away through the secret passage. Tomorrow, you will pretend that you have never heard of private salt, so you will go to the county government to ask about the case Wang Tuiwang’s situation.
It's just a normal point to try to perform!
Can you understand what I mean?"
Things have become like this, and it is too late to regret it at this time, so Zhen Sega could only take a gamble and reminded Qiaomu at the same time.
"I understand, it means that you will ask Mr. Wang to continue investigating the case and must find our money back.
However, the officials of the prince's lineage were too much. They didn't even let go of the property of the widow who lived alone. They really wanted money for their face.
I don’t know what I want to do with that money!
Forget it, anyway, if the emperor has lived for a long time, the prince will not have a good ending. Let’s talk about this, I have to set up a house in the mansion.
To avoid any accidents.
Sega, please find a way to send the thing away and to the eldest prince. This thing is now a hot potato. You must seize the time to throw it out, otherwise it will burn ourselves."
After saying that, Qiaomu left Naxiangyuan.
When he went back, he ordered the secret guards to step up their protection and sent some people to pay attention to the movements and movements in the city.
