Not long after Zhu Congwen left, Xie Zhan also got up and left. The time point was neither long nor short, and it would not attract people's imagination.

Unexpectedly, when he went out, he was recognized, "Are you Xie Zhan?"

Gu Huaisheng stopped Xie Zhan.

Xie Zhan paused. Zhu Congwen decided to set the meeting place in Tianxianglou. He thought that those who could be easily plotted against him could not believe that they could be so meticulous and thorough in their work.

"Young Master Gu, it's Xie Zhan below." Xie Zhan said in a humble and arrogant manner.

Gu Huaisheng's eyes were bright, "Are you here to see your friends?"

Xie Zhan smiled, and his whole body seemed particularly relaxed and casual, with a frank attitude. "There is a small matter, but it has been done. Young Master Gu and his friends are here?"

Gu Huaisheng nodded.

"Then I won't disturb Young Master Gu Yaxing anymore, say goodbye."

Gu Huaisheng nodded and watched him leave.

His confidant stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Young master, do you want to check it?"

"Yes." Gu Huaisheng just saw Zhu Congwen leaving here, and Xie Zhan came out soon after. He always felt that it was a bit unusual. Check it out, but Tianxianglou's confidentiality is still very good, and nothing can be found.

As soon as Zhu Congwen stepped into Ji's money house, the manager of the money house immediately came forward to greet him, "Young Master Zhu, you are such a distinguished guest. Come on, please come in."

After the manager brought the person in, he personally served him tea and asked, "I wonder what the hell is there for Mr. Zhu to come to the door today?"

Zhu Congwen said, "You can't handle this matter with me, so let you Mr. Ji come out."

"This—" the manager hesitated. Today, they were not here, but the old master was in the money shop.

"Hmm? Why don't you hurry up and ask someone?"

"Mr. Zhu, can you reveal a little? I can ask the people above for advice."

"Just tell Mr. Ji that this is a big deal."

At this time, Ji Wuyin was on the second floor of the money house.

He had just returned to the south.

Although the return trip was by land, he rushed back with a quick horse and took several days.

First of all, due to the unstable flood situation in the southern region, he had to come back to take charge before he could feel at ease.

Secondly, before leaving, Lu Songli reminded him to be careful and Xie Zhan.

As the saying goes, listen to people's advice to have enough food. Lu Songli is such a powerful person, but he still believes in her judgment. For this point, he has to work hard to come back.

In such a situation, strong enemies are surrounded by them. If someone stole the house, he will have no place to cry.

He just returned yesterday, and today he received a letter from Lao Budhi who was sent by someone to walk through the water, which detailed their predictions about the chaos of the family in the south.

Ji Wuyin knew that such a prediction could be regarded as a core secret for the forces in Liaodong County.

The old friend took it out and shared it with him. It was not only the old friend's wish, but it must have been approved by Lu Songli.

Thinking of this, Ji Wuyin felt very relieved. As the rich man in the south, he naturally knew the value of this letter. Business opportunities were all about making money first, and sometimes they took one step ahead, and the result was very different.

This letter not only allows him to avoid unnecessary risks, but also allows him to make arrangements in advance. They are really very considerate.

But Ji Wuyin was quite puzzled. Why did Lu Songli not mention to him that the southern part would be in chaos when he was in Liaodong County?

The reason why Lu Songli concluded that Xie Zhan would take action was mainly because she had been paying attention to the situation in the south.

When Ji Wuyin was in Liaodong County, she was not so sure. Until he left for seven or eight days, the court still could not come up with an effective disaster relief plan. She was only sure that the court was not able to quickly clean up the end of the flood in the southern part of the country.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the treasury was already in short supply. The new emperor relied on confiscating several other families such as Qin Xie Zhao to continue his blood.

Lu Songli roughly estimated that the total value of cash and industries collected by these companies should be around 10 million taels, of which the Xie family accounted for the majority.

This ten million taels seem to be a lot, but after the spring comes, the imperial court also spends more money. It is not enough to spend ten million.

At this time, the manager came up to the second floor and talked about Zhu Congwen, and Ji Wuyin's heart moved. So he decided to go downstairs and listen to what Zhu Congwen said.

Zhu Congwen was surprised to see that it was not Ji Dashen, but Ji Wuyinshi.

But as a junior, he quickly got up, "Uncle Ji Shi, why are you in the money shop? Where is Young Master Ji?"

"He has something to do, so I'm old and idle, so I come to the money shop for a walk." Ji Wuyin also signaled him to sit down, "Do you have something to do today? If you have something to do, just say it."

"Then Uncle Ji Shi, my nephew said it straight. My nephew wanted to borrow 200,000 taels of silver from the Ji family's money house."

"That's the number?"

For Ji's money house, except for the heads of the six major families who came in person, it is almost impossible for me to borrow 200,000 taels.

Moreover, if there are potential regulations on personal loans, the Ji family's son who is favored by six major families, such as Zhu Congwen, has a limit of 20,000 taels. Within this amount, they can withdraw it at any time if they come.

Anyway, the families behind these people are all in the south, so the monks can't escape the temple.

Furthermore, for the sake of the 20,000 taels of loan from the child, the heads of the family would not be able to lose their debts because the six major families could not afford to lose their face.

However, if the amount exceeds 20,000 taels, you have to be cautious, not to mention that Zhu Congwen now has 200,000 taels as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Nephew, you borrow such a large sum of money, but what big deal do you want to do? If there is a good deal, take Uncle Shi." Ji Wuyin said with a smile. He said this to find out some information, but the second thing is that the drunken man's intention is not wine. The main business of the Zhu family is grain, and the grain of the Zhu family is not young.

Zhu Congwen was alert, but smiled and said, "How can there be any big deal? I'm sent to Zhuya Island by my father now? I was thinking that my old man will celebrate his birthday soon. As for me, I have to prepare the birthday gift for him."

Ji Wuyin was speechless, "Didn't your father celebrate his birthday last month?"

"Yes, it's only eleven months before his next birthday, and time is very tight."

OK, it is also reasonable to force the argument. Ji Wuyin signaled him to continue.

"I was thinking that the land on Zhuya Island is still smaller. I want to make the territory bigger, raise something, and make results, and give him to my father as a birthday gift. He will be happy."

Zhu Congwen is not stupid either. Even if he keeps his mouth closed, the Chen family may not be willing to hide it for him. Therefore, there must be an excuse on the surface.

Ji Wuyin: "Someone wants to sell the land on Zhuya Island?" And this land is very likely to be located next to the Zhu family.

Zhu Congwen smiled but said nothing. This was a secret and he definitely couldn't say it.

Ji Wuyin also tactfully did not ask any more questions, but his mind was turning quickly. Whose industry is next to Zhuya Island in front, back and left and right? It is next to the sea to the south, the small Zhuya Island of the Chen family to the east, the Gu family’s industry to the west, and the Liu and Zhang families to the north.

First of all, the Gu family is ruled out because the Gu family's industry cannot be sold easily, otherwise it will cause bad associations with its operating conditions.

The Liu and Zhang family can also be ruled out. Last year, the Liu and Zhang family made a major investment in the land industry owned by Zhuyadao. As far as he knew, the value of the money they invested, together with the original industry, was more than 250,000, and it was impossible to sell it to Zhu Congwen quietly at a discount of 200,000 taels.

So, the Chen family was the one who traded with Zhu Congwen. Zhu Congwen used 200,000 taels of silver or even more to buy the Chen family's little Zhuya Island?

Oh my god, he had just finished reading the letter and saw a conspiracy appearing in front of him.
