Chapter 299 An unexpected surprise

Within the tent,

Su Jinkai shouted so loudly that it startled Zhang Jinyu. The old boy's voice was so loud and he asked angrily;

"President Su has committed something that requires me to save you. Tell me."

When Su Jinkai saw the expression on Mr. Hou's face, he was a little unhappy, and felt even more frightened. He banged his head and knocked on the ground again.

Big beads of sweat flowed down his temples and wet the skirt of his clothes. Su Jinkai knew that his life and death, or that of the whole family, depended on tonight.

He also secretly gritted his teeth and said cruelly;

"Master Marquis, the secret guards under Prince Dongping are liaising with the old troops in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the generals of the government are obeying their orders. Wherever the eight major salt merchants dare to disobey, they all voluntarily hand over their money. Although the younger ones have done many bad things, but

Marquis, I would never dare to harm the imperial envoy and you, the Marquis."

Dong Wang Mu Shi, Zhang Jinyu was also shocked. Good guy, it was that guy who took action. Moreover, he himself had investigated this person before coming to the capital. According to the investigation, Mu Shi had been living outside the capital. It does not mean that he ignored the government affairs and was devoted to his work.

Recuperate at the villa.

But now, how can an idle prince do this? Dong Wang has good means and good talents.

"Then do you know who are the people who attacked the navy?"

Su Jinkai was also struggling in his heart, looking horrified and afraid to speak. Zhang Jinyu stared at the eyes of Su Jinkai who was kneeling on the ground.

"explain!"

"Master, it should be possible. Mr. Xue left the mansion not long ago and went to the direction of the Qinhuai River. He must be looking for fun. In the past few days, the Qinhuai River will hold an election for oirans. Coupled with the poetry competition, there must be a group of heroes.

Gathering.”

Not daring to console him, he had to go out to the yard to make arrangements. Xue Pan smiled with satisfaction when he saw it, and then went back to the house, took out a stack of banknotes and put them in his arms, and also planned that in the coming days of spring, the Qinhuai River

In the past few days, the brothel here is also going to hold the oiran election and poetry festival. It is a grand event in Jinling. I can be considered a prime candidate for young talents, and the thought of this makes me feel even more itchy.

Although Su Jinkai felt a little uncomfortable kneeling there, he dared not make any other moves. The Marquis spoke so kindly, and the anger in his heart relaxed and he couldn't hold it anymore. He kowtowed again, and then tremblingly

He stood up and replied with some trembling;

"Hou, Lord Hou, although I am the leader in Jinling, I am still a prominent figure. I have the final say in the business world of Jinling, but I can't do anything about the boundaries of Suzhou and Yangzhou. President Jiang of the Suzhou Salt Merchant, and

Chairman Wang of the Yangzhou salt merchants is a well-known figure, and he controls most of the salt industry in Jiangnan. Especially Yangzhou is directly divided into half. Chairman Wang's power is rampant in the south, and Mr. Lin wants to watch him no matter what.

face."

While Jiang Chunyue was busy working, Zhang Jinyu was also satisfied with her harvest, and looked at Fatty Huang without a cold face.

"After the processing is done, I don't need any money. I can just purchase the supplies on the spot in Jiangnan and send them directly to the Marquis' Mansion in Pingyang City. I'll have someone to hand them over, do you understand?"

"Then do you know why Prince Mu did this?"

Xue Pan asked coldly. The boy was so frightened that he couldn't speak and could only nod.

"Yes, young master, the young one will go right away."

"Yes, yes, Lord Marquis, no, master, you only need one person in charge, and leave the rest to the younger one."

"Yes, it's the Marquis. As far as I know, if you want to attack the imperial navy's fleet on the river, you must have people from the Canal Transport Guards participating. Attacking the fleets relies on the guards to control the ships.

, in addition to the guards, the attackers should also be the Dongwang's private army in Jiangnan. I even guessed that the Jiangnan camp and the Jinling garrison general should know something about it. After all, they all served under the Dongwang Mansion before.

of."

"You old cunning guy, I would like to ask you, how is Mr. Lin's condition now?"

Su Jinkai also saw clearly the way of the world, and he had to kneel down completely, as if he was attached to him. Zhang Jinyu also sighed with emotion, as expected, people are forced to come out.

Hearing the young boy next to him nagging, Xue Pan looked even more impatient. When did you take charge of this young master?

Jiang Chunyue felt happy and asked urgently;

"How do you say that? Those are all true."

The housekeeper thought for a moment and replied cautiously;

Zhang Jinyu also had an idea in his mind. King Dong was a little too fanciful. What could a person like this do? There were also so-called salt merchants. Looking at the fat-headed and big-eared Su Jinkai kneeling below, wasn't this just a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered?

Well.

Su Jinkai was also relieved. It seemed that he had passed the first level. When he heard the Marquis' question, he thought for a while and said;

"Master Marquis, do you know that the East Prince's Palace used to control a large number of industries in the south of the Yangtze River and was as rich as any country in the world. However, since the East Prince's Palace lost military power, the generals under his command have been scattered and have different ideas. This Jiangnan territory is

We have received the Holy Master several times, and the rich and powerful inside have already divided it up, so only the salt is still the bulk, and half of the annual profits go to the East Prince's Mansion. Lord Marquis, you are here this time for Lord Lin Ruhailin,"

Thinking of this makes me feel even more itchy and my whole body feels hot.

I already knew what happened to Xue Pan, so I kept someone watching at night. In the morning, Mr. Xue was taught a lesson by Luo Yunhou's people and was arrested. I almost thought that what the madam said last night was false, but I never thought that at this time, Mr.

it is true.

Jiang Chunyue squinted her eyes, her mind changed, and she immediately thought that Xue's mother might have directly met with the Marquis or the Marquis's mother, otherwise it would be impossible to bring the person out directly.

I was going to say something nice to see if I could save this person, but Zhang Jinyu interrupted me directly.

Zhang Jinyu was also suspicious for a moment. Lin Ruhai was considered a confidant of the emperor. It was impossible not to have people from the Imperial City Division guarding him. Moreover, Dai Quan had sent someone there first. No news had been sent yet, so he didn't know what was going on there.

"Precious, ask a few more people to follow you. Let's go out and have fun tonight."

Zhang Jinyu was very satisfied with the fat man's attitude. After thinking about it, he identified the eight major salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. How many of them should be killed? If there is no problem, it would be fair and just, and everyone would be taken care of, one for each place. Let's see who knows.

Su Jinkai also exposed Wang Yinghan's old background. As the saying goes, if a dead Taoist friend is not dead but a poor Taoist, he will receive a certificate no matter what.

As for the people in the Jiangnan camp, they were feeding unfamiliar wolves. I hoped to spend money to eliminate the disaster this time. As for the others, I had no ability to connect. The tigers outside the customs were eating meat.

I feel a little upset,

"Yes, sir."

"Master, I have found out everything about the Xue family,"

"Sir, it can't be done. The old lady said that it's not safe outside these days, so it's safer to stay at home. If you go out, it will be uncomfortable for me."

"Master Lin is ill, what a coincidence."

Then I have hope. Although I am a salt merchant, I feel that the backer behind me is not reliable. In addition to getting money, the people from the Dongwang Palace did not even reply to the letter I sent this time.

"Stop talking nonsense, I just want to ask you if you are going?"

Su Jinkai also told everything he knew.

He couldn't help but left the house, called his personal servant Guigui, and ordered him,

"Good opportunity. Hurry, get someone to prepare the frame and go to the Qinhuai River."

Zhang Jinyu was somewhat impressed by Su Jinkai. He was a small person, so it was good to know. He nodded and said;

"Why don't I kill you if I don't kill him? I still have to investigate the case of treason. Go back and sort it out and wait for the order. Then go to Xue's house and give me a rundown of his family's business.

From now on, it will be the property of the Hou Mansion, and those shopkeepers must use it or die, let them choose by themselves, can we do it?"

"Ah That's good."

I must go to Yunliang Pavilion in Jinling today. If Liu Rulan can see her, she must know what she is thinking.

"Master Hou, this is Huang Rutai, who is also an errand boy. I would like to come."

Thinking of this, Xue Pan could no longer bear it, walked out of the yard, out of Xue Mansion, and walked towards the Qinhuai River with his servants.

Jiang Chunyue, the president of Suzhou who had not returned to Jinling, also sent someone to inquire about the Xue family. The Xue family was a prominent family in Jinling. A careful inquiry would tell.

"Well, Mr. Marquis, I really don't know about this young one. He has never been to Yangzhou, and he has never been to Suzhou. But I heard from others that Mr. Lin fell ill. I don't know what kind of young one he is."

Besides, the Wang family is not benevolent and righteous, and ordinary people cannot accept so much bloody silver. If it weren't for him, how could the salt merchants in Jiangnan be forced to come here.

Jiang Chunyue's eyes flashed, and she immediately knew that the opportunity was rare and hurriedly gave orders.

And in Xue Mansion,

Su Jinkai was also crying. He really didn’t know. Besides, dogs that bite don’t bark, and dogs that bark don’t bite. The dog surnamed Wang is a ruthless character. He doesn’t dare to go by casually. If there is a bad chance

I can't come back, ugh! I'm not the one who knows how to scream.

"Just remember, work for the Marquis Mansion with your heart, I will keep it in my heart."

Xue Pan was even more envious after seeing the power of the Luo Yun Hou Mansion. His family affairs were solved, and his sister had reached the sky in one step. She had support, and her heart was extremely hot. She didn't know if she could kiss Fangze, Qin Huaiba, etc.

The most beautiful Liu Rulan.

The confidant butler will report when he comes back,

Zhang Jinyu made an estimate and asked,

"Who is the other salt merchant in Jinling?"

Su Jinkai's heart tightened, and he had a premonition that something was not good. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to say, so he had to reply;

"Yes, Master, I will definitely handle it properly."

"You are smart. Get up. You are right. How is Mr. Lin doing now? You don't know, right?"
