Chapter Forty-Three: Partners

"As an assistant minister, I will be disrespectful to the court and disobey the mission, which is a shame." Mu Lin grinned at Zhu Zijian, "I have my persistence and I will not give up."

Mu Lin was confident and confident, his eyes shining with confidence.

He was also so confident when he was a child, but at that time he was a little more proud.

"If I help you find out the forces behind the Su family, are you willing to promise me something?" Zhu Zijian asked.

Mu Lin nodded happily, "Of course I am willing."

Zhu Zijian looked at Mu Lin with a calm expression and said slowly: "One day there will be a coup in the Lan Congress, are you willing to help me?"

Mu Lin's surprised expression disappeared in an instant. He didn't know why Zhu Zijian would say such jaw-dropping words. If this fell into the ears of a caring person, it would be a death penalty for everyone.

But he had a premonition that the coup Zhu Zijian mentioned would definitely happen in the future.

This may come from the trust he has established in Zhu Zijian since he was a child.

But the news was too sudden for him, and he was completely unprepared.

"If there really is such a day, I will help you unconditionally, just like I practiced martial arts with you when I was a child." Mu Lin paused and continued: "I said I will always be with you, and I have never forgotten this promise.

.”

Zhu Zijian was stunned.

The reason why she made this condition was that she was sure that Mu Lin would not agree. As the legitimate son of the Mu family, he shoulders the responsibility of revitalizing the family.

There was no way he would risk helping her.

In this way, she would not have to interfere too much with the political affairs of Lan State.

But....

"Do you know what you promised?" Zhu Zijian asked with a frown.

"If there really is such a day, I believe you will definitely protect me." After saying this, Mu Lin couldn't help but smile.

The young man's face is as pink as a powder, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, his eyes are blazing, and his heroic appearance is all at the tips of his eyebrows.

This time Zhuzi Jian fell into silence.

The confident boy back then looked at him sincerely as always.

This caused a little turmoil in Zhu Zijian's calm heart.

Mu Lin may be trustworthy.

She told herself in her heart.

"Thank you very much." Zhu Zijian said softly and bowed to Mu Linxing.

Mu Lin calmly walked towards Zhuzijian, punched her, and said with a smile: "You brat, you are finally not rude."

Zhu Zijian was startled for a moment. She hadn't heard anyone call her that for many years. Of course, only Mu Lin dared to call her that.

It's like going back to my childhood.

The corners of Zhuzijian's eyes began to rise slightly, and she grinned and said, "Don't forget, I still taught you your etiquette."

Mu Lin laughed in surprise.

He rushed directly to Zhuzi Jian and held her in his arms.

"I still like your smile. This is who you are!"

The sword general Mu Lin also hugged him tightly.

She said softly: "I'm back."

After a while, Mu Lin finally let go of Zhu Zijian. With tears in his eyes, he kept smirking at Zhu Zijian.

"I know you will come back, my good friend."

Zhu Zijian patted Mu Lin on the shoulder, and the two sat on the chair together.

"Where did you and Wei Hanyi find out?" Zhu Zijian handed Mu Lin a cup of tea, "What key clues did you find at the auction?"

Mu Lin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, her excitement gradually calmed down.

"At present, we have only found out that the Su family is holding an auction, but we have no way of knowing what is being auctioned." Mu Lin sighed deeply, "The Su family's auction has many rules, and those who participate must

There will be a strength competition on the ship, and only those who enter the top 100 will enter the final auction. Wei Hanyi and I have not yet entered the top 200, so there is no way to find out the inside information of the auction."

"Have you ever thought about starting with people who participated in the auction?" Zhuzi Jian asked.

"I just found some clues recently." Mu Lin frowned slightly, "There are people participating in the Sixth Department."

"The matter is true?"

"It's true. And we also suspect that there are officials from the second grade participating."

"Second-grade officials?" Zhuzi Jian frowned, "How dare they!"

Mu Lin sighed deeply, "Wei Hanyi and I were also very shocked, but in order not to alert the enemy, we haven't informed King Hu yet. Wei Hanyi was originally going to board the ship this time, but things went against his will. Prime Minister Wei was seriously ill, and he

I had no choice but to give up and rush to Xuanyang Palace to seek medicine."

"That's right." Mu Lin looked at Zhuzi Jian doubtfully. "You got on the boat just to find Hui'er?"

Zhu Zijian's eyes flashed slightly, exuding bursts of anger, "Xuanyang Palace found out that the Su Family Auction House is doing business in people, and maybe Hui'er is among them."

Mu Lin was stunned for a moment, then became displeased, "The Su family is so brave, they even dare to buy and sell people! The Lan State has explicitly banned human trafficking, and violators will be executed, and the nine tribes will be implicated. How dare they?"

"It is absolutely impossible for a Su family to have such ability. There must be a big shot behind them." Zhu Zijian paused and asked: "Why is the Su family suspected by the court? What evidence is there?"

"I don't know either. I just received an imperial edict asking me and Wei Hanyi to investigate the Su family's auction." Mu Lin spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's that simple, so it's so complicated now, without any clues or clues

.In such a large merchant ship, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"What is King Hu's attitude towards the Su family?" Zhu Zijian asked.

"King Hu means not to alert the enemy. The head of the Su family is the supervisor of the Lan Kingdom Chamber of Commerce, and the annual tribute salary will only be more, never less. If the court publicly investigates the Su family, it will only bring unwarranted trouble to the Lan Kingdom.

Therefore, the Su family cannot move."

"Only the Su family can't move?"

"Yes, only the Su family."

Zhu Zijian pondered for a moment.

King Hu’s attitude towards the Su family is very subtle!

The imperial court must have received the rumor, but it involved so many people that they couldn't let it go in advance.

Therefore, it can be checked but not discovered, and even if it is discovered, it cannot be moved.

The big names involved behind the Su family are not simple.

"Who are the people who interact with the Su family?" Zhu Zijian asked.

Mu Lin took out a notebook from his arms and handed it to Zhuzi Jian.

"There are four families in the Languo Chamber of Commerce, Su, Sun, Zhao, and Qi. All four families have business contacts. The Sun family has been in business for several generations, mainly engaged in water transportation. The head of the family, Sun Wenqi, used to work in Su

Because of his poor fortune, his granddaughter Sun Yueyue married Su Yizai, the second son of the Su family. The relationship between the two families is very deep and needs to be investigated further."

"The Zhao family is a land-based industry that collects land rent and farmers' grain. The farmland at the north gate of Lan Kingdom is owned by the Zhao family. This scale is on par with the Xungui Village in Lan Kingdom. It should not be underestimated!"

"The Qi family has inherited weaving craftsmanship from generation to generation, and the weaving patterns can be transformed into more than a thousand colorful patterns. Although it is not as good as the Huang family, a major weaving industry player in the Lu State, its technology is one of the best among the leading countries."

"The last Qi family is special. Take your time and see for yourself." Mu Lin said, his mouth was dry, he picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip.

Zhu Zijian looked through the account book in his hand doubtfully and turned to the page about the Qi family.

It begins:

The Qi family is divided internally, and the specific situation cannot be found for the time being.

"This Qi family is quite interesting."
