Chapter 84 Check it out from the beginning to the end [thanks to Shangyu Tang
On the road.
The drunkenness on Jia Zhen's face had disappeared, and he said to Han Yuan beside him: "If there were more Han Gongs in the world, I wouldn't be so low-key and make people laugh."
Han Yuan smiled and said: "Brother has an important responsibility for Your Majesty, so you must not be careless."
"I know." Jia Zhen muttered: "In your opinion, in Suzhou, besides the Lu and Yu families, who else will participate?"
Han Yuan sighed: "I'm afraid there are many more, but this is the most serious place. You must have encountered it when you came here. An obstacle along the way is a small matter. Raising prices and suppressing dissidents are big problems. Some people even died in a foreign country.
"
Jia Zhen narrowed her eyes and said, "When did Mr. Han know about this?"
"I met him when I was transferred here this year. It's thanks to His Majesty that he told me not to act rashly and to investigate carefully. Otherwise, I might not be able to find out about the Lu family and gain their trust."
"If you act recklessly, I'm afraid your life will be at risk." Jia Zhen said.
Han Yuan nodded and said melancholy: "I never thought that this place would be so complicated. There are relationships everywhere, right and wrong everywhere. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe."
"When the nine-day thunder falls, everything disappears." Jia Zhen said: "The people from the imperial court are already on their way, and our mission has just begun."
"I understand."
Three days later, at a pier, several ships of about 300 stone each took advantage of the darkness and gradually approached the shore.
On the bow of the boat, two people stood side by side.
"I didn't expect that it was already late at night and the ferry was still accepting boats. It turns out that money can make all the difference."
A ray of moonlight fell on the man's face, and it turned out to be Ah Qiang. However, this time he was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked like a handyman carrying goods.
"There is news from Jia Zhen. The people inspecting the goods this time should be people from the Lu family. We can't act rashly." The attendant reminded in a low voice.
Aqiang said coldly: "This is natural, I will uproot them!"
The housekeeper of the Lu family is also named Lu. He is in his forties this year. He grew up with Lu Wan and is deeply trusted by Lu Wan.
Lu Wan would not come in person to check the goods. He would only ask his confidants to check the goods and distinguish the authenticity.
"Steward Lu, be careful." Several men helped Steward Lu to the ship and walked straight into the cabin.
Here, a dozen large boxes have been neatly stacked.
"Butler Lu, do you want to inspect the goods first?" one of the boatmen said.
Butler Lu nodded and motioned for them to open the box.
Several boatmen quickly opened boxes one after another.
Butler Lu came forward to check.
"This is Tang Xiang?"
"Butler Lu has a good eye."
"This is rock candy!"
"That's right, these more than 40 kilograms are not easy to store. Our master spent a lot of money to get them."
"This is"
After the inspection, Butler Lu took a deep breath to suppress the restlessness and excitement in his heart.
"You guys, be careful, I'll go back and bring someone here."
"Steward Lu, wait a minute." A boatman stopped him.
"What?" Butler Lu was just about to leave when he saw him calling him to stop him. He thought he was trying to get some benefits, so he immediately said, "You kid, please don't blackmail the wrong person!"
"No, how dare we do this? It's just that our brothers haven't eaten or slept all night. Could you please make arrangements for us?"
"So that's what happened." Butler Lu waved his hand, "You will leave with my Lu family later to ensure that nothing happens to you."
"Thank you."
After seeing off Butler Lu, several boatmen looked at each other and smiled.
After Jia Zhen showed her sincerity, she quickly gained Lu Wan's trust and was introduced to the huge local network.
He not only had white paper, but also glass, and even glasses that were only sold in the capital, so he could get them one or two pairs.
Soon, Jia Zhen became their 'friend', and the person in charge of the Yu family even said that in the future, Jia Zhen's caravan can use the banner of the Yu family, so that it can travel unimpeded in Suzhou.
However, the price is that they have to take a five-cent profit.
Jia Zhen naturally smiled and agreed.
After another day of feasting, Jia Zhen returned to the inn.
Snap.
After lighting the candle, Jia Zhen saw a man sitting on his knees. Next to him stood his person in charge and another stranger.
Although I only know one person, the status of the other two is definitely more noble than that of the person in charge. Didn’t you see that your person in charge is still standing?
"I have seen several generals."
"Are you Jia Zhen?" Aqiang opened his eyes.
"yes."
"How did the investigation go?"
"Back to the general, at present, several warehouses under the Lu family, liaison persons, persons in charge, and officials involved with them have all been identified. The Yu family still needs a liaison point for thieves and bandits in Jiangnan Road.
"
"That's right." Ah Qiang said: "The fact that you can find out these things in such a short time means that you don't have a body. After this matter is over, I will report it to the Lord and promote you to the rank of general."
"Thank you General!"
Aqiang ordered: "Don't alert the enemy, wait until the investigation is clear, and then report."
"yes."
at the same time.
Anzhou, Chen Mansion.
"I'll say it for the last time. Starting tomorrow, everyone will be transferred back and all books will be burned. If you don't listen, something will happen tomorrow. Don't blame me for not warning you." Chen Zhi warned the heads of the Xiao family and Shen who were present.
The head of the family.
Xiao Ru said slowly: "What are you afraid of? The imperial court has not paid attention to our side for so many years. What do you have to worry about? In fact, I did get some unfavorable news for us, and I also know that the emperor issued a warning about this."
We are very angry, but it is not as serious as you said. If someone comes to investigate, we will throw a few bones out. If not, send a few scapegoats. If it still doesn't work, is it possible that the court dares to use force against us?"
"Brother Xiao is right." Shen Wei said, "Brother Chen, you are too nervous."
"Am I nervous?" Chen Zhi said angrily: "Do you know that this time the emperor directly dismissed Wei Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and investigated the entire Ministry of Personnel. He also sent Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yushitai to jointly investigate the case. What do you think?
Isn’t this a small thing?”
"It is indeed not small, but it is only for officials who have taken bribes, not for us." Xiao Ru said: "Even if we are really found, the court will not dare to act rashly. At most, we can find a few members of the clan to apologize.
, if it doesn’t work, just donate some money and food to the court, that’s enough.”
"Not bad." Shen Wei nodded.
"You guys." Chen Zhi said angrily: "Since you don't believe it, let it be as you wish."
"see a visitor out!"
Leave Chen Mansion.
Xiao Ru said to Shen Weida: "Since Chen Shuda left the Zhengshi Hall, Mr. Chen is now letting the wind blow and ignore it. If we follow his instructions and withdraw everyone and burn the books, we don't know how much we will lose!"
"That's right."
Xiao Ru said again: "Besides, what will happen if we really find out? We have all the clues about those officials, so we are not afraid. If the imperial court wants to move, the south will not be stable!"
"With Brother Xiao's words, I feel relieved."
"Hahaha."
Not far from them, two men were leaning against a big tree, watching them quietly.
"It seems that the people here have received the news." one of them said.
Another person said: "This is not surprising. The court did not want to hide it from them, but they may not have thought that the court's investigation did not start until those people came."
